MR. NEVILLE BLACKBEARD THE

NEW

HEADMASTER

Over seventy years have gone by since first our school occupied its present site and in all this time the senior school has had only three headmasters. This year has been marked by the arrival of Mr. Neville Blackbeard who came from Selborne College to take the helm at Wynberg and it is our pleasure to bid him a very hearty welcome. The advent of a new headmaster is inevitably preceded by a measure of speculation and a sense of anticipation regarding traditions to be maintained and changes to be effected. Mr. Blackbeard arrived at the beginning of the second term and very soon established a good rapport with both staff and boys. Quietly spoken, friendly in manner yet possessed of a firm sense of discipline, he has quickly evolved the pattern around which he proposes to run the school. A tennis player of some note, he is none the less interested in all forms of sport. He has held the rank of captain in his schooL's cadet detachment and over a period of years has played leading roles in numerous Gilbert and Sullivan productions. He has come to us with a reputation both as a teacher and administrator and we look forward to many good years under his guidance and, in her sphere, that of Mrs. Blackbeard, whose charming

presence will lend grace to the hostel.

sound academic ability. The one without the other is barren. If he has already dissuaded his young brother from carving his initials on his surfboard he need have no fear about discipline, and interest in a subject is usually sufficient to ensure a fair degree of mastery in it.

Soon anotber batch of matriculants will be disgorged upon a world eagerly awaiting fresh recruits to business, commerce, industry and the professions_ The pay is attractive but the prospects, in human terms, may be appalling. Today's professional or business man is the victim of specialisation. He finds himself faced with techniques and a body of knowledge so narrowly applied, and a training so demanding of time, that he is forced to sacrifice other interests and activities and devote himself exclusively to his cho en work. Put baIdly and unkindly, and with some reservations: five-figure phili tines sboulder our world and provide us with a standard of living and with amenities undreamt of a few generations back. But the cost to themselves bas been enormous and we must ask if we. too, are wjLljng to make that sacrifice. They have cut themselves off from the world of mu ic, art and literature and conversation with them is like talking to an Eskimo who has acquired a fluent and accent-free command of our language. Words pass. but there i no communication - where communication means a sympathy derived from commonly-held attitudes. ideas, prejudices, inclinations and ideals. And when human beings cease lo communicate with one another the stage is set for a debacle of some ort.

Secondly, he should have a personality that lies within the wide limits of normality. He should, too, have a sense of humour to restore flagging interest in a class and minimise awkward situations. Some interest aod facility in extra-mural activities will gain tbe goodwill and co-operation of boys. And finally he sbould have the physical and mental strength to stand long hours of teaching and marking and also the irritations and frustrations that inevitably crop up when dealing with a mixed bag of boys. As far as language teaching itself is concerned, the test i short and simple. Does he enjoy the ring of certain words aod phrases? Does he come back at the end of the line to savour 'At the round earth's imagin'd corners'? Does he resent the blatant and intrusive vulgarity of popular advertising? Does he feel that the use of vogue words shows lack of discrimination? Is he an avid reader and at least an occasional playgoer? So there you have your language teacher. And within a few years he will raise hi voice as vociferously as the others in protest against pay, pettifogging departmental regulations, overwork and panel inspections. However, he stays. He does not follow the drift into private enterprise with it attractive offers. Why? Possibly becau e every day of every year is fresh to him in a way it cannot be to any other teacher. Every year be u es fresh books that can accommodate changes of taste and attitude and opinions that may develop in him; moreover he is remarkably free of that blight on the human pirit - endlessly repetitive work. But tbe real reason tbat he stays is that he is loth to give up a reward that no other employment can offer: the belief that be has interested young minds in the accumulated wisdom and beauty of mankind, and bas provided a leaven that will go on fermenting in an age that would narrow us down to automata.

Language. then, is what binds man to man, but it cannot be a language only of words. It mu t be a language of values and attitudes, and we find it chiefly in our literary past aod present. We suggest, therefore, that language teaching, understood in this way, is perhaps the greatest contribution that can be made to contemporary society. Quite frankly. a plea i being made for matriculants to consider entering the teaching profession, especially on the language side. That this plea is wrongly timed in that it reaches them in their final agony is an unfortunate necessity, but a few may be led to consider it and wonder what sort of person will make a succes ful and contented language teacher. To begin with, he will need at least some of the qualitie that allow any teacher of any subject to survive. Fir tand foremo t he will need those inseparably important qualitie of di cipline and

former vice-headmaster of elborne ollege. Ea t London. arrived at the commencement of the second term. he establi hed him elf in Littlewood House. We welcome Mr. and Mr. Blackbeard to the oldest chool but one in the Cape Province and hope that their tay will be long and happy.

Wc :tarted the year with Mr. Thorp as actingprincipal following the retirement of Mr. Bowden at the end of 1964. When M r. Neville Black beard.

Departmental revision of tafT promotion left vacancie for a second vice-principal and two 7

and Or. Anziska. One of their chief duties will be to thrash out the question whether we shall remain at our present site or move to the Labia Estate where we have already been granted additional playing field. An important innovation was made in August when a well-attended meeting of parents accepted a draft-constitution for a Parent-Teachers' Association and a steering-committee consisting of the following was elected: Messrs. Katz, Barnard, Gilmour, Barnes and Mrs. Hamburger, with Messrs. Gilmore and Morris representing the staff on that committee. Over informal coffee in the quadrangle after the meeting, parents slaked their thirst for news of their sons who, it seems, have untapped descriptivt: powers. In vain did masters assume a diffident unfamiliarity with their surroundings. Each soon had his throng of inquirers. Our sports and clubs and societies - the pulse of a school's health - are flourishing. During the year we formed a Golf Club, which has been given recognition by the Western Province Golf Executive and through their kind offices we bave had the courtesy of several local courses. Badminton has been introduced as a regular sport and Gymnastics is now offered as an extra-curricular activity. Our major sports. rugby and cricket, did not quite reach vintage standard - we had three rugby Springboks in this year's tours-but we held our own very comfortably and, far more important. enhanced a reputation for hard, keen, enterprising play. Our Judo team, under the expert tuition of Mr. A. Butcher, gained for the third succes ive year the premier Western Province award, and we also won the Western Province Schools' yachting trophy. We continue to be inundated with requests for admission to the school and the hostel, but we are bursting at the seams with 545 scbolars and 85 boarder. Numbers in the junior classes are 0 unwieldy that for the first time it was necessary to introduce a fifth std. vn cia s. Finally, it is with great plea ure that we are able to report that Mr. Bowden's health ha improved and that he i active and happy in retirement.

chief -assistants. The former post has been filled by M r. Lennox and the latter by Messrs. Gilmore and Mathew. We offer our congratulations to these deserving gentlemen. Staff changes, sometimes sad and always disruptive, have been more numerous than for many years. Since our last issue we have bad the retirement of Mr. Wheeler following a severe accident, and Mr. Gredley who for years administered the swimming batb and the sale of pies with smiling imperturbability. They leave behind them pleasant memories and we hope they bave long and happy years of retirement. Both Mr. le Roux and Mr. Lingenfelder, who left to enter bu iness, are remembered gratefully for tbeir enthusiasm on the sports fields. Messrs. L. Mathew, Meiring and Griesel. made only a short stay with us. Mr. Dunn pose the problem of welcoming and congratulating him and saying good-bye all at once. He arrived from Zambia at the beginning of the year, married in tbe September holidays. and returns to Zambia at the end of the term. Tben there is Mr. Grobler who has been with us for two years. He is getting married at the end of the year and has accepted a post at Cradock. We wish him and his fiancee every happiness. New to the staff this year are Messr. Jordaan and Blom, both helping with Afrikaans and Social Studies; and Mr. Noffki, an Old Boy, who has taken over and transformed our Physical Education. Temporary additions to the staff have been Mrs. Badenhorst who looked after Mr. A. Morris' cla e while he was on furlough, Mrs. Quinn who kindly con ented to take Mr. Lennox's classes while he was attending a Mathematics Conference in America. Mr. Wahlformerly vice-principal of Sea Point B.H.S. and latterly lecturer in mathematics at U.CT. - who has been amusing himself with some junior mathematics, and finally M r. Ba on who has come to us for a second time when we were in difficulty and is taking several ocial Studies classes. Of those who will be with us again next year we should like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Kooy on the birth of a daughter, and Messr. McMinn and Jordaan on their marriages. Continuing with this chapter of changes, we mu t first thank the retiring chool-committee for their indefatigable efforts on our behalf and for all that they accomplished, before welcoming the new committee that was elected in July. Under the able chairmanship of Mr. Felbert the following now form the school committee: Messrs. Cawood, Friedlander, 00 thuizen, Jones, Myers

Mr. Bruce-Gibbon opened proceedings by paying tribute to the retiring headma ter for the zeal and initiative he had displayed in expanding the school. In 1947, when Mr. Bowden assumed duties. the ~chool had 240 boys and a rectangle of unkempt playing space. Now we have 560 pupils and not only additional fields at the old ite. but a large games area on the Labia estate.

Mr. Bowden then presented his annual report. thanking fir t of all the late Mr. Alfred Friedlander. who had for many year been chairman of the chool ommiuee. for hi invaluable contribution to the school: and econdly Mr. Thorp. who had on two oeca ion taken over the reins when he had been ill. Mr. Bowden then outlined (he two school of opinion that exi ted about the proposed removal of the school to the Labia estate. explaining that until thi- que-tion was ~etlled all plan for a new hall and library on the old site had been shelved. He then delivered his credo: that the numerous club and activities he had fo tered had. a their ultimate purpose, the introduction of boy to the a umption of r pon~ibility. and to the idea of service to their community. He concluded by thanking the United Building ociety for establi hing a bur ary worth R 100 to enable a talented but needy boy to proceed to std. X. Mr. J. de Villiers, M.P .. for Wynberg, then addressed the gathering, agreeing with the insistence the headma ter placed on the need for developing a community spirit, and ugge ted that it ~hould mature into service for the good of the country. Mr. Felbert, on behalf of the Old Boy' Union. thanked Mr. Bowden for the close and fruitful relationship that had grown up between School and Old Boys: and finally Mr. Thorp. the viceprincipal and representing the taff. aid that Mr. Bowden had made a great impact upon the school and that hi influence would be long-lived. Mr. De ViIIier then pre ented the prizes.

THE END OF THE ROAD

The many fingers. eager to shape and create. got in one another' way and not one man could hape it entirely to his own wi hes. ot one man could follow the road of hi dream.

amuel was in the prime of his life. The road before him wa" straight and beautiful. a a road hould he. At times it slumbered gently under giant oaks. guardians. who cast their protectIve shadows 0 er it; who embraced it and formed an arch of dream through which amuel strolled. The road cro sed vast plains, but there was always a solitary tree, read to shield him from the bli . tering un. There was alway a mumbling tream with clear. cool water, which ta~ted like wine in this picturesque and awe-in piring land. And the wine went to Samuel's head. He was in paradise. or if not there. on the road to ir.

amuel walked. pas ing the many ide-road without as much a a glance or a thought. Hi road. he felt ure. was the right road. But the world around left no man Isolated. least of all amuel, the up-and路coming young man of the future. Fate touched him gently. slowly pre. ed him to the side of the road and on to a road. which turned off harplyand led into the hill and thence. touching the horizon. into the blue of tomorrow. And amuel trolled on in a elf-a ured manner. unaware that lhe original road la far hehind him.

He had ambitions and ideal and dream. which no longer. eemed like phantoms to him. amuel had the world firmly in his hand' and he intended

Gradually the urroundings changed, tbe welcome streams and tbe little pool of sbade under a solitary tree grew less frequent. After a long journey, Samuel hesitated (or the first time_ For the first time suspicion, and perhaps fear, were born in rum_ Yet there was no turning back, retreating hurriedly the way he had come; there was no finding of another road, which he had pa ed long since. Time, once used, does not come again. Samuel could not return into the past. The road before him lost its friendly promise. Beneath its tarred smoothness lay impending danger; into its distant ribbon of the future it might turn into a snake. Samuel was an optimistic man. however, and firmly believed, even now, that it was the right road, and he went on. Even when tbe shrub had become salt bush and be entered the desert of middle age, did he bold on to bis beliefs. He could not recollect ever having strayed. It was impossible that he had lost his way_ Now nature intervened. Samuel, once strong and healtby, grew tired. At times be could merely drag his exbausted frame along. Slowly hi strength disintegrated and the blistering un and lack of water corroded his optimism and hopes_ until his body remained an empty shell. Yet, even this road must lead somewhere, he thought. Perhap thi was merely tbe gateway to paradise. Surely the road, immediately after it crawled up the rise ahead, entered the oa i of eternity. With new vigour, he followed the dusty track, but when he reached the top of the rise, he found suddenly that the road went no further. "There is a time to get and a time to lose." But there is also an end. a point after which there i no more. The end of the road. Samuel ank to the ground and waited for he knew not what. He waited, and watched, and slept. and finally died. K.

It is generally recognised in the district, though not openly admitted, that the third room is a bottlestore that sells anything from French Brandy to methylated spirits, and on many occasions I have heard it referred to as a veritable money-spinner on account of negligible overhead costs. Mrs Naidu alway officiates at her "parties" as they are termed wben the police appear, and the mere sight of her gargantuan form is sufficient to quell the heartiest reveller. The whole family, including Mr. Naidu, a mild and innocuous little man ot timid dispo ition, is ruled with a rod of iron and Mrs Naidu maintains a trong centralised government. A prominent participant in tbe evening revelry at the "pub" is Old William, affectionately known in the district as "daardie ou dronklap". This back-yard patrician inhabits a mall shack on a piece of property next to the Naidu mĂŠnage and it must be assumed that the proximity of a ready supply of spirits formulated his prulosophy: that daylight lasts just long enough to imbibe two bottles of brandy and half a bottle of methylated spirits. On Friday nigbt he is accustomed to entertaining the lively company around tbe barcounter with songs of a distinctly colourful nature and has so often spent the night in the local pri on that a cell is kept vacant for him, containing a Bible and a pamphlet produced by the League of the White Ro e. hi favourite reading matter. Old WilJiam is at this moment intoning a song in praise oC Bacchus and as I look up my eye is caught by the familiar blue hue of the police-van outside Mr . Naidu' house.

This river of tarmac, distinguished from its tributaries only by the buildings along its bank, is called Regent Street. possibly named by a council in the hope that it would lend some elegance to tbe area.

DINGE

WAAROOR EK NIE GRAAG PRAAT NIE Toe ek nog jonk was, is my beste vriend deur 'n bond verskeur. Van die aantal gebeurtenisse in my lewe waaroor ek liewer nie praat nie, is hierdie geval vir my die bitterste, Dit was my kuld, ek weet dit seker, alhoewel mense my probeer troos dat ek hulpeloos teenoor die ondier was, Hoe oud wa ek toe? Miskien net tien jaar oud, nog afhanklik en steunend op my ouers; nog bang vir die nag, nog onbesmet deur sondes van volwas enheid. Mens praat altyd met veragting van lafaards. Dié ongeval het bewys dat ek 'n lafaard was. Ek en Arnold het Oom Koos gaan besoek. Ongelukkig het ons verdwaal en in 'n dig begroei de streek beland, waar ek 'n verlate plaa werf ontdek het. On het besluit om die inwoners te gaan vra of hulle nie dalk weet waar Oom Koos woon nie. Arnold het voor my uitge tap na die agterdeur en be keie geklop. Die deur het toe gebly, alhoewel hy 'n paar maal geklop het. et die aanhoudende geluid van sy vuis teen rue deur bet die stilte van die Bosveld verstoor. Ons het moedeloos omgedraai en wou net by die hekkie uitstap, toe ek 'n venynige trippel agter my hoor. 'n Reusagtige hond het op ons afgestorm gekom. Ek het geskree: "Pas op, Arnold!" en toe in doodsangs deur die veld weggehol met die gegil van pyn en vrees van my makker in my ore. Ek het gehardJoop, blindeling gestruikel, my bene deur doring verskeur, tot die geskree van Arnold net 'n gesuis in die wind wa . Teen sononder het ek tuis gekom en snikkend die ongeluk aan my vader vertel. Hy het Arnold se pa gewaarsku en my gebied om hom na die plaa toe te neem. Huiwerig het ek ingewjlJig. Die plaas het spokerig onder rue maan gedroom en eindelik, na baie ge oek, het hulle Arnold se lyk ontdek, ten min te wat daarvan oorgebly het. My pa het my later meegedeel dat die plaas al vir vier jaar onbewoon was en dat die bond, mal van honger, seker al net so lank daar rondgedwaal het. My pa het die hond geskiet, maar ek voel nie lus om verder te vertel nie. Dit was my skuld! My skuld! Ëk het daarop aangedring dat ons oom Koo gaan besoek, hoewel ek nie geweet het waar hy woon nie; ék het soos 'n verraaier my vriend in sy benarde toe tand in die steek gelaat, ék is 'n lafaard! .:n Lafaard!" sui rut deur my.

Sy pa het hom teruggeroep. maar hy het net die gesuis van die wind, en Arnold se stem, geboor. Miskien wou by boet vir sy tekortkomings. Miskien het by besluit om te leer swem in die plaa dam. wat 0 stil en ongestoord voor hom gelê het. K. HAH DI EK. lOa.

DIE LENTE

In four month' time T hall be putting away my chool-books for the last time and I hall be step' ping out over the barrier into life. I am told that after a few months of this life T hall yearn for tho e happy, and ometimes not-so-happy, years pent at school. Perbaps this is 0; only time will tell.

Hier in die Kaap lê die land in die koue greep van die ysman, Winter. Maar dit i net 'n paar maande, miskien weke. wie weet. dan sal dit weer Lente wees. As ek nou uit dje venster kyk, sien ek dje kaal geraamtes van die eike· en ander bladwis elende bome. Net waar die groenblywende bome staan. val 'n men se oë op groenigheid. Met die Lente sal alles verander, alle sal weer groen wees. Party van die bome kry al klaar groen blaartjies! Die blomme al 00 'n kleurvolle tapyt oor die kaal grond lê. Weer sal dit lyk asof 'n reu agtige skilder y potjie verf oor die groen vloer van die kiereiland ge tryk het. Zandvlei al nie meer 'n bruin kol van droë riete wees nie, maar 'n helder portret van groen en blou. Die waeltjies al weer oorlog in die lug maak om te ien wie die beste iD ekte kan kry. Ja-nee, die lente al altyd die beste en kleurvolste seisoen wees, dit kan jy glo.

As the last few months fly pa tI look back and see what I have accomplished at school and what school has accomplished for me. I see myself entering chool for the first time: a shy and timid Ijttle boy, clinging to his mother' comforting hand and not wanting at all to join the other shy and timid little boys already sealed under the stern eye of the teacher. A few years go by, and my hyne ha diappeared. Jn its place there has grown a core of toughne and resilience. Gone is the little boy who djdn 't want to exchange his mother's side for the unknown terrors of that forbidding in titution, school. In his place i a bigger, tougher character; a character who doesn't want to go to bed at night and who doe n't want to go to chool the next morning; not becau e he j frightened of chool, but becau e he has much better thing to do with himself than it in a tuffy das room, under the di approving eye of a stuffy old teacher, and attempt to fathom the intricacies of fraction and decimals, subordinate cIau es, and the reason why the Greeks fought the Trojans.

However. certain phjlosopher -the world was full of them-had come to the conclusion that even though they had all they could wish for, there still must be an overmind or a God. UniverComputers bad the e philosophers under its wing to solve the problem. It was decided to connect up all the computers of the solar ystem and resolve the problem this way. On the day named, Mars Enterprises, Lunar Computers Incorporated, Outer Worlds Computers and Universal Computers had their systems all connected to the Earth centre at New York. All the dignitaries were there. An electronics student from Venus was chosen to solder the final connections. He stood on a platform, bathed in spotlights and soldered the final connections with gold flux. Then he asked the ultimate question: "Is there a God?" There was a silent pause. Then came the words in a booming voice, "There is now!"

He looked up to the first stars appearing in the dusk far above the city. He smiled and said a little prayer. lt made him feel terribly happy. It was the end of another day for the bustling crowds far below, but for Mr. Tweedy it was the end of the road. He looked down to the ant-like vehicles moving in the traffic below. Still smiling serenely, he pushed himself off into the abyss. The falling was merely a sensation, followed by a moment of terror and agony, then Mr. Tweedy' soul sank into the blissful black nes of sleep. When the darkness cleared. M r. Tweedy found him elf in a throng of souls moving in procession, singing the song cele tial. Although he had never been a singer, Mr. Tweedy joined in. He was moving slowly up to a huge dais whereon was a throne. It was all very beautiful. He realised he was going to be judged. He wa at peace. And as he stood before the throne. reviewing his unhappy life, he heard the words: 'Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavily laden, and r wiIl give you rest". H.

Utopia on Earth, tbat was what man had always dreamed of. Plato had thougbt of it, Bertrand Ru ell had tried to forward it, and now Universal Computers had acbieved it. Computers had been devi ed to see to tbe need of humanity. Automatic factories mass-produced necessities and luxuries in more than sufficient quantities. Crime was almo t non-existent, for want had disappeared. The United World Federation had been achieved and all the colonised planets had their form of Commonwealth government related to Earth. Early in the Twenty-second century all armaments had been banished forever. The resulting wealth was poured into home industries and the standard of living of earth' four billion ro e sharply. Education was promoted and it was unusual for a person to leave college before twen tythree year of age. Household drudgery wa gone. For a meal you dialled the food centre and the required di h arrived through the chute in ten minutes. All the world- population could peak English.

In froot was Ron, till eeming a little uncertain in his Lotus. We were doing about a hundred and thirty as we braked hard for tbe Chicane, on the left of which is the harbour. Ron was steering far too wide. I gripped, the wheel tightly, and to my horror be went straigbt on, crashed through the straw bales, and into the sea. But I knew he would be afe, and I concentrated on my driving. Luckily for me the car lying fust retired with engine trouble, and 1 passed tbe other to win the Grand Prix de Monaco. I pulled into the pits at the end of tbe race. Mike Walker, the designer of the cars, was waiting for me. "Ron drowned," he told me simply. At the burial everyone was grim-faced. There wa talk of a sawn-through steering link. The next World Championship Grand Prix was held at the Niirburg-ring, the picturesque German circuit set among thickly-wooded forests. We practised for a couple of days on its winding straigbts and gently sloping curves, averaging almo t ninety miles per hour. The day before the race there were few people around the pit-area, but one girl I did notice. She was raven-haired and very lovely. I watched ber, and she must have sensed it, for she turned around, smiled and came over. Her name was Anita. We chatted, and in no time had made plans to go out that evening. It all seemed very natural. I left tbe car with Steve Berrington, the chief mecbanic. I got back to my hotel at one 0' clock, not giving my car a thougbt. Early that morning I made my way to the circuit, and was surprised to see the car standing next to the pit, covered with dew. "I'll tell Berrington what I think of him," I thought angrily, but I stopped short as I peered over the pit counter. He was lying in one, bound and gagged. "What happened to you?" I asked after untying him. "Someone slo hed me from behind guv'nor, I swear it," be aid wildly. "Then he tied me up." How did he know it wa a "he"? Wa he lying? Everything was confusion that afternoon, with photographer currying to and fro, mechanics frantically making last-minute adjustments to tbeir cars, and the incessant roar of the loudspeaker and the crowds.

As I approached the infamou Karussil, a banked curve taken at over a hundred miles per hour, a feeling of nausea swept over me, for the front end of the car would not respond to my prompting.

That wa when Mike probably saved my life. Berrington lurned his back to me, 0 that I could not see what he was doing. He must have tried to improve on his previou efforts, because Mike suddenly dived over the pit counter and into him, pinning him against the front wheel. Mechanic came scurrying and held the struggling Berrington. While J explained the ituation to them, Mike fixed the teering linkage. "Okay Jim." he aid when he had finished. "go out there and win."

There remained but one obstacle before him.... The champion was worried as he peered once more at the sixty-four coloured squares. Surely this was some kind of joke? But tbere was no hint of humour in his opponent's icy expression. The smug mile had slipped away. Tn its place came an anxious frown. How was it possible? Surely hi position had been unassailable? As I gazed at tbe scene before me. I realized ju t how great a toll tbe champion's age had taken of him. Perhaps twenty years before he would ea ily bave found a refutation to tbe attack. Now, however, as he battled to retrieve tbe situation I could ense the tension in the air but could not believe that the most experienced player in the world would not ucceed. But it was not to be. One brilliant thrust had rendered futile his carefully planned variations. The solution to his quandary had proved beyond his powers. As I stared at the jubilant new champion, 1 realised that a flickering light bad been extinguished. In its place shone a bright new star. L. WERBELOFF, 9a.

The sweat glistened on his brow as he gazed down apprehensively at the black and white statuettes before him. There was only thirty seconds in which to make his decision, a deci ion that could alter the whole course of hi life! The incessant ticking of the clock drummed relentlessly in his brain. He endeavoured to quell his growing fear as he reached out hi hand. But fear turned lo hope, and hope to exultation! lt was evening in Moscow. Thougb tbe Pushkin Theatre was packed to capacity, there was scarcely a sound to be beard. On either side of me two men engaged in the duel of the century, a duel which neither could afford to lo e! At stake was a coveted title, the title of Chess Champion of the World! My role a judge seemed to pall into insignificance before the epic contest. As 1 signalled for the challenger's move to be registered on the large demon tration board. my thougbts turned to how he. still only a youth. had come to be itting there at that moment.

Daar is beslis geen twyfel nie! Die uitstalling in die Britse Nasionale Museum is darem baie interessant. Op daardie merkwaardige dag was ek o in die geskiedkundige wapens verdiep dat ek nie die luitingsklok gehoor lui het nie. Terwyl die beamptes rondgegaan het om seker te maak dat niemand nog in die Museum rondloop nie. was ek vir 'n oomblikkie in die kleedkamer. Toe ek weer uitkom, het ek tot my verbasing gesien dat al die ligte in die Mu eum dood was. Besorgd het ek haastig na die ingang geloop - dit was te laat! Ek wa in die Museum opgesluit. Omdat dit byna seker was dat ek die nag in die Museum ou moe deurbring (want ek wou nie moeilikheid met die poli ie h锚 nie), het ek besluit dat ek in die Egiptie e afdeling ou gaan slaap. Die rede vir my keu e was dat daar 'n gemaklike verebed van eens van die Fara贸s was waarop ek heerlik kon laap.

Die skelet in die mediese afdeling het my groot laat sk rik en ek het onwillekeurig op my tone begin loop. Eindelik het ek my bestemming bereik en ek was net besig om op die bed te gaan lê toe ek kielik y koud word en van vrees ver teen. Die doodkis van die farao Hempmetkan II wa besig om stadig en met 'n onheil~pellende gekraak. oop te gaan. Toe my hart weer begin klop het, het ek gou agter 'n ou ki. weggekruip. Een klap ver kyn 'n wit hand by die opening van die doodki. Toetot my verba ing-kom 'n man e broek pyp oor die kant van die kis en toe loop 'n man haa tig uit die Egiptic e afdeling uit. Baie verlig dat dit geen pook wa nie, het ek die geheimsinnige persoon agterna ge it. Die dodelike wapen wat ek gou opgeraap het, het die nommer 325(a) gedra. Die indringer het reguit na die po' eël-afdeling ge tap waar hy die duurtes in sy binnebaadjiesak ge top het. Dit wa genoeg vir my- ek i eker dat hy nie geweet het wat hom geslaan het nie! Omdat ek toe eker was dat ek nie in die moeilikheid met die polisie sou kom nie. het ek dadelik na die kurator e kamer gehardloop en die telefoon gebruik.

DUSK IN THE VELD

The ight of the rising or etting un tinging with pink the fleecy cloud. or of unlight flooding a valley till covered in morning dew. i one of lhe loveliest and mo t evocative things I know. During the Chri tmas holidays I went on a camping trip and had the opportunity to witness several un ets and unri e. In the evenings. when we had reached our destination and laid out our leeping bag, there would be a few moment of rest while the adults ipped their beer and upper operations were uspended. Then we would it and drink in the beauty of our surroundings. I remember itting one evening on a teep rise. watching the cloud and mountain turn pale pink while the ky flu hed through gold to red as the un ank like a flaming orb into a saddle between the hill. Fi red by the beauty of the scene. my imagination raced to the horizons and I pictured omeone far east of us watching and thrilling to the start of a new da . And then I imagined an old man itting on a balcony far west of u. waking in hi deckchair to find the un gone and his pipe out and. twilight upon him. huffiing timy inside. . .. I marvelled at the miracle that happens day after day, unchanging. backward and forward into infinity and eternity.

GALLERY-GOING IN CAPE TOWN CRICKET The art world of Cape Town has always been rather pedestrian and lacking in verve, this state of affairs existing partly through apathy and lack of vital interest on the part of the public and partly through inertia amongst the artists themselves. Recently there have been encouraging sign of some ort of galvanization and tbere are indications of a new vitality creeping in, precipitated mainly by the enlightened go-ahead policy of the National Gallery since Prof. Bokborst's installation as director and the establishment of small private-enterprise galleries. These galleries ha ve afforded us tbe opportunity of seeing more displays of work by artists working in Cape Town and elsewhere. To begin with, the National Gallery is gaining in interest, as a start has been made towards the establishment of a collection of contemporary European painting and graphic works. Some rather interesting modern additions have recently been made. Apart from these, the gallery also has a collection of South African art which is reasonably representative. Amongst tbe most interesting works in the gallery, are tbe small African sculptures which have a powerfully indigenous feeling about them. Of late the gallery has been staging large collective exhibitions such as the "Art S.A. Today"' exhibition. These large shows are al way worth a visit. The Wolpe Gallery is perhaps the most alive of the private galleries and follow a progressive policy of encouraging young talent and new ideas. as well as importing exhibitions from overseas, thus helping to establish ome ort of link with the outside world. The unfortunate limitation of South African art today is that there are no galle路 ries anywhere in the country which have sufficiently representative collections which would facilitate an under tanding of the development of art in thi century. This is a very big handicap indeed and any gallery endeavouring to alleviate this problem is performing a valuable service. Gallery Shear in Long Street is a more conervative institution dealing mostly in established Cape painters. Occasionally there are some very good exhibitions presented at gallery Shear, such a the recent pani h exhibition from Ibiza.

The Martin Melckhuis in Strand Street is of great interest both in respect of its historical importance as an.old Cape Dutch building and also of the mixed collection of paintings assembled by the gallery's very colourful director, Or. Silberberg. The main attraction of the gallery, paintingwise, is that this is the only gallery at which Kenneth BaUer's work may be seen, as the gallery has him under contract. He is a very important South African abstract painter and is one of the few South African painters ever to have won an award at the International Biennale held at San Paulo, Brazil, every two years. The Old Town House on Greenmarket Square is another important Cape building which houses the Michaelis Collection of old Dutch masters. There are some exceptionally fine paintings in this collection, amongst them two excellent Van Beyeren still lues of fish. There is also a Frans Hals which is insured for thousands of rands, and a Rembrandt of dubious authenticity. It could possibly have been executed by one of his students. as there are correction lines drawn on the canvas. supporting this conjecture. The Association of Arts Gallery on the top floor of the Argus Building is perhaps the bestknown gallery in Town, and there is always something of interest on exhibition. The exhibitions here range from the ultra conservative to tbe ultra modern. The annual Cape Salon is held in the Association of Arts Gallery and usually parks off an explosive controversy over the selection and rejection of artists' work. This is one of the more lively occurrences in the art life of Cape Town. There are rumours abroad that the artists working in Cape Town are going to establish a gallery run entirely by themselves. where they will be permanently represented, so that an instantaneous impression may be formed of the nature and direction of Cape Town art. This could become a very vital project, and one hopes that these rumour have some foundation. The indications are that such a move is definitely afoot and we .look forward to the ultimate establi hment of this gallery. 28

Certain areas in Wynberg, uch as "Little helsea:' are among t the mo tintere ting parts of Cape Town. their warm and unique atmo phere deriving mainly from the small complexes of o.ld cottage cattered about. ome of these exceed 100 year" in age. Many of them have been reno路

vated and ha e had their fa~ades and plans altered In the proce " In ome cases completely changed. Others have retained their original plan and appearance and it is these cottages which have provided the ubject matter for the ketches repro路 duced here. One hope that the Council will preserve them in their present tate.

MATRIC. DANCE Emm and Mrs. Jeftes who put in a great deal of effort which contributed to it., uccess. Jan Ain worth, the convenor and Ma ter-ofCeremonies, deserves congratulations for a very gallant effort. Pos ibly the mo t noticeable aspect of the evening was the spirit 'hown by the boys. This was perhap due to thc fact that the boy were able to dance, following the les on taken at the girl' school. The inclu ion of td. 9 helpers a artists, and on the night as waiter, was an excellent plan which could be made a tradition.

The 1965 Matric. Dance was held on the 25th eptember. lt was attended by almost the whole class and twelve master' who, despite the mallness of our Old Hall, managed to enjoy them elves in the true spirit of the 1965 Matric. clas . The theme of this year' dance was 路'Africa'". presented in a very different and plea ant manner, for which our thanks and congratulations go to Eian EIs and his artist helpers who produced magnificent decor. We also thank the Std. 9 artists. Mutti, Van Blerk, Coats and Lowry. Supper was arranged by parents, Sister De Klerk and Mr~. Blackbeard. We are grateful to Mr .

MISS KATHERINE WYNBERG BOYS' HIGH AND JUNIOR SCHOOLS, 1929-1965 An Epoch ., ow I want to be quite sure that Miss Lacey will start my son in school"-has been a perennial statement coming from parents __ . to be followed recently by a shocked, "What. Mi s Lacey reli ring! ., Yes, it wa inevitably destined for the 1965 school magazine to carry the news of the retirement from teaching at the school in December of Miss Katherine Lacey, who had commenced her duties here in January, 1929, and continued here for the very lengthy period of thirty-seven years. Until 1928, the chool, still one unit, had taken pupils from the Standard One level only, and boys had to spend their Kindergarten year either at the Girls' School or elsewhere. But during 1928 the beginning of the present Junior School took hape, when a double- toreyed block of five rooms wa erected to accommodate the younger classes. For the fir t time. in Jan ua ry 1929, there was to be a Sub A and a Sub B cia s, and the teacher nominated by the ommittee to be the founder of these Kindergarten cIa se at Wynberg Boys' High School was M is K. Lacey. Ju t what a fortunate choice that wa , the many intervening years have proved. Throughout tho e years Mis Lacey became an indispensable part of the school. Her teaching itelf went from strength to strength and received the highe t tribute from all circuit in pectors. And, a mentioned earlier. it became the earnest wish of countle s parents that Miss Lacey hou Id be their sons' first teacher. Her firm yet ympathetic way with beginners won her the greate t re peet and afTection of those she taught. She constantly sifted the best from methods old and new, and applied this to gain the most favourable response. If we are to single out one subject among many. it was READI 'G. where her results were phenomenal. rn 1951 Mis Lacey was promoted to the post of pecial Grade As i tant, in which capacity he carried out a number of extra duties. which included the supervision of the chool Feeding cheme. and arrangement .. for general catering at school functions.

LACEY

Then. who will ever forget tho e annual introductory items at Junior chool October entertainments, when with uch enthusiasm and pontaneity. Miss Lacey's Sub A pupils gave u sparkling song scene in costume. These always set the mood for the entire evening. In all she did, Mi s Lacey gave of her best, paring no effort in the pursuance of her dutie . and as isting school activities. She jmt "had to be at chool daily," and she wa. for she was absent hardly a day in all the thirty-seven years. Among the staff, she was deservedly popular. always kind and thoughtful. and in her later years a read ource of help and advice to younger colleagues. And in the e days, when staff come and go ilt an alarming rate. thereby hampering the development of an institution, it has been to the great benefit of our school to have had omeone of the calibre of Mis Lacey who, except for a short spell at Upington. devoted virtually her whole teaching career to one school. 32

lege to bave bad her services ... and we wish ber many years of retirement in health and happiness. We shall more than welcome her at any school functions she is able to attend. In conclusion, we say tbat Miss Lacey's years at Wynberg have been an epoch in themselves.

She started our Wynberg boys' Kindergarten, has made our Sub A a byword among Cape Peninsula classes, and has thereby gained a distinguished position in the teaching profession. The school is greatly indebted to Miss Lacey. We thank her profoundly. and regard it a privi-

Junior much music as time allowed. Mrs lennings returned in July to rehearse her choir for the "Hall of Mu ic" and the junior operettas. During the last term of the year Mr. K. Pretorius is having furlough and we trust he will enjoy a well earned break from classes. Mr. N. Wolff, an old Boy who has been teaching Std. 3B for four years, leaves us to proceed to Rhodesia. Our best wishes attend him. Mr. A. Larie hopes to fly to Europe to spend nve weeks of tbe Ilong vacation there with a possible meeting with Neville Schafer in Amsterdam.

STAFF Although given special notice on another page we must record here our untold regret that we are to bid farewell to Miss Lacey who concludes her thirty-seven years at Wynberg this year, as well as her memorable teaching career. We are so used to her pre ence among us that we hall quite be expecting to see her next term, and it will take a while to grow accustomed to her absence. To the staff in January this year we welcomed Miss BarweIl to Sub B, Miss Cowley to Std. 2B and Miss Puroe to Std. 2A. Miss pu roes, however, married and left us at tbe end of May after which Mrs. M. Luman took over her class, and will remain with us until December. To Std. IA came Miss J. Warren, who, however, returned to be married in East London in June, and was succeeded by Miss Lon tein in July. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hutchison (Mi s D. Friedman) have been spending 1965 in Europe, teaching and travelling. and writing us the mo t pleasing and mouth-watering letters of their experiences. Mr. Hutchison will doubtless have accumulated a vast collection of lides, which he will allow us to enjoy upon bi return to Wynberg in 1966. Mr. Neville Schafer, continuing his piano studies in Amsterdam, has written to us regularly too, and we are to congratulate him upon winning a bursary. Thus Elsie lennings, after ten years of arduous work with our young singers took a well-earned term of leave and, with her two younger daughters. enjoyed some weeks of caravan travel through great Britain and the continent. and heard as

GENERAL Our nrst function of the year as usual, was the informal evening for "New Parents" of whom we welcomed about a hundred one evening during February. The usual information about school routine was followed by nlms and lides of school activities. This in turn was followed by general discussion over refreshments. At the beginning of the second term we cordially welcomed a new High School Headmaster, Mr. N. Blackbeard, and Mrs. Blackbeard to a pecial 'tea break" and we trust that their year at Wynberg will be both happy and fruitful. During the fir t term the playground exten ion continued to progre s slowly and at long la t we have a brick wall as the Oxford Street boundary, with two attractive wooden gates to allow pas age of traffic. A record number of 230 boys entered their names for rugby this year. The smaller boys

I was pLaying at the seaside when I fell asleep. I dreamt I was sinking down toward the sea-bed. Just then two sharks armed with swords swam toward me and took me to King Neptune. King Neptune gave me all kinds of beautiful shells. After a while I thought it was about time to go home. Just as I was about to leave, [ woke up and found that I had fallen asleep on the seashore.

OLD GUA YA TREE"

Once upon a time, long, long ago in a forest in Africa before Japanese guavas grew, there lived an old guava tree. In Japan there lived a wizard and he was soon tired of Japan, so he decided to go to Africa on a ship. A storm came up and the ship was wrecked. The wizard caught hold of a piece of wood and floated to the shore. He found himself in the forest where the old guava tree lived. After walking around for a few days he came to the middle of lhe forest. There he saw the old guava tree. He went up to it and looked for guavas but he could not find any, for the leaves were too thick and there were not many on it. SO be walked around it twice and said, "Oogley Googley Glump," and suddenly it grew small and many more guavas appeared on it. And that is how the first Japanese guava tree grew. PETER

Then I asked them if I could go in and see him and they said yes. Then I rang the bell and he said, "come in". Then T went in and he showed me around the castle. The walls were made of pearls. Then I said I had better go home. He gave me a bag of gold and said, "come again." Then I said good-bye and swam home. GARETH

I tried to lift it but it was so heavy that I could hardly move it. Just then a dark hadow moved iD the water above me. I turned and saw a dolphin. He seemed to say, "May I belp you?" He was so tame that he let me put my arms around his neck and together we swam to the surface with the treasure chest. When we reached the shore be left me witb my treasure.

As Autumn approache, we see the quirrels looking for acorn and storing them in the hollow tree trunks for the long Winter. The leaves change into many beautiful hades of orange. red and brown, and drift sadly to the ground. We take great pride in our garden and work very hard in order to keep it neat and in good condition. Last year it came second in the "Cape Ideal Gardens" competition and people who walk or ride past often stop to admjre our beautiful garden. PH" I lP R BIN.

A few minute elapsed and finally T proceeded with our plan. I had instructed a patrol car to follow the thug and report their position. Downstairs J found one manager brutally battered. We fol· lowed the radio report and it brought us to the slum area of London. As we came down a street we saw the patrol car outside a hou e. Together with three policemen I advanced to the door. J broke it down and we burst in. The thugs were taken by surprise and 1 arrested them on a charge of robbery with violence. M. GOLD TEIN.

A STORM

AT SEA

The ·'S.s. Maria" left London dock on a clear afternoon. The ship was going to India. In tbe night, just after twelve, there was a violent crash against the ide of the hip. The captain who was sleeping in the cabin heard the noi e and went up the stairs only to be swept down by a torrent of water. The poor captain was in di . pair as he did not know what was happening. At the next attempt he managed to get onto the deck. There were fla hes of lightning and the angry sea was beating again 't the side of the ship. The captain was talking to the econd mate who wa driving the ,hip. They both agreed that unless there wa a lull in the torm they would not be able to control the hip. The sailor who had been taken out of their bed were geuing worried. The engine were cut off and were not working. and worst of all the decks were covered up to your knees so that you could not walk very well. ft was about ix o'clock and the pas enger were beginning to awaken when suddenly the rain . topped and the wind died down and the ship. old and battered, continued on its way.

It seemed as if the ea wanted to kill us, because huge breakers crashed with al! their force on the deck and both ma ts splintered like match-sticks. All at once the sea swelled and the wind howled around us and before our eyes a huge gigantic wave was forming. It was like a mountain made of water and slowly but urely it came rolling towards us with all its mighty force. As it engulfed us J heard a crash and the deck at the stern of the ship splinter. Jim, who wa a new sailor was washed overboard. I rushed as fast as I could to help him but a flying piece of wood struck me on the forehead and all went black. After what eemed an eternity I awoke and found myself in my bunk. I looked out of the porthole and saw the un shining brightly. After J had dressed I walked out onto the deck and wa greeted by the 2nd Junior Officer who told m.e that Jim had been rescued and the men were repairing Ihe deck.

It was a fine afternoon in Summer and Joe and Pete wanted to play in the park, but their mother had said they might not do 0 until he came home. Their parents had gone to visit ome neighbours and were not coming home until sjx o路c1ock. Joe, the elder of the two, then decided to go to play in the park even if his mother had forbidden it. About an hour later they became tired of playing in the park. 0 they decided to play in the forests nearby. The e fore ts were on the edge of a range of mountains and were full of all kinds of game. They were playing happily but getting further and further away from tbeir hou e. They did not notice a great bank of fog come rolling down from the mountains and oon they were enveloped.

Pete went outside and found a hat with a fishing hook and ome line in it. They trudged on again and soon found a river. Joe said that if they followed the river they hould reach civilisation. They decided that it was time they bad omething to eat 0 they threw the line into the water and waited. Half-anhour later they pulled out the line with a fish on the hook. They ate. after cooking it on a fire. and then lept. When they awoke it was dark so they did not carry on with the journey. The next morning brougbt rain but they till trudged on.

THE KAROO

I was doing my homework late one Friday afternoon. when my mall brother John came running into my room. At fir t I was very annoyed, becau e J had been multiplying two figure at that moment, but after hearing that John and I had been invited on an aeroplane flip. all was forgiven. Little did I know that we would be landing on the de ert and digging for animal bone which through the year had been fo iIi ed. r quickly dressed my elf in my cout uniform, and rushed off to scout. The night at couts wa uneventful. When r arrived back at home at ten o·c1ock. T downed my u ual gla s of milk and then wandered around in the kitchen and pantry. looking for further nack. Toon discovered a tin of bi CUilS on top of a cupboard. After finishing five I had a piece of cheese. Thi probably made me dream about my fighting a gang of crook. Early the following morning there was a tremen·

dous thump as our dog leapt off my bed on to the floor. Not five minutes later John came marching in, and asked me if it was time to go yet. I decided to dress and make my parents some coffee rt was well received and soon the whole bouse wa awake. On our way to the airfield T bought a small box of chocolate for our host, whose name at thi stage [ did not know. My father wa till running his new car in. so he could not drive over forty miles per hour. We Soon arrived at the small airfield, where Mr. Price was waiting at the car park for u . After my father had introduced u. he howed us a beautiful blue and white aeroplane. lt was fairly large and could seat five people with one thou and pound of luggage. Soon we were in the 'plane and the pilot shouted,"Contact." and the native workmen removed lhe wooden blocks from under the wheels. The Rolls Royce engine roared into life. Soon came the order. "You may unfa ten your afety belts." We were flying over ape Town dock when Mr. Price came up t" me, and told me that we were going to the Karoo and that we would hunt for objects of interest there. After about an hour's flying we had to fa ten our afety belts again. T was fir t to leave the craft and al 0 fir t to find an object-a diamond as big as my thumb nail and I could not see a flaw in it. After looking around for ome time longer. Mr. Price found a small rub. These find caused us to leave the Karoo and fly back to Cape Town. T sold my diamond for R5.000 becau e the gem. in fact. did have a flaw. T paid Mr. Price one hundred rand for the flip. He had his aeroplane re-uphol tered. but that :light four thou and rand was tolen from our hou e and never recovered. T still had nine hundred rand left. And after a day of unexpected adventure. we retired to bed and were Soon fa t a leep. G. Ro AI.DSON. WHAT WO

LO YO

HAVE DONE?

I. A camp cook wanted to mea ure four ounce of yrup out of a jug. He had only one three and one five-ounce bottle. How did he do it? 2. A girl was riding a fri ky pony when the bridle worked loose. The hor e hook the bridle and, ignoring orders to top. the animal et off down the road. A ear appeared round the corner. he had to top it. but how? an you guess how "he did it?

3. When a sudden thunderstorm overturned his canoe, a boy swam to a small, rocky island. In a deserted hut he found an old oil lamp and a few matches. The wood on the island was too wet to build a fire with 0 his only means of signaUing for help was the lamp. lt held only an inch of oil and the wick was too short to reach the oil. Do you know how he lit the lamp, gOLit burning and ummoned help?

THE FIRST SHOW OF THE SEASON It was a cold, clear, un hiny day in July, 1965. wben I was being driven to the stables. This was the day I had been looking forward to for a long time. It was the fust show of tbe season and was to be held at Milnerton. I had awakened rather late that morning and arrived to find my friends had already assisted me in saddling my hor e. We tben rode to Kenilworth Race Course where we loaded our hacks on floats (large lorries pecially built for carrying horse and taking up to ten of them.)

ANSWERS 1. He filled the three-ounce bottle and poured it into the five. Then he filled it again and poured it into the five until it was full. That left one ounce in the three. He then emptied the five back into the jug, and poured the one ounce tbat was in tbe three into tbe five. Then filled tbe three and poured it into the five, making four ounces in all. 2. Sbe imply clamped her hands lightly over the pony·s eyes. Unable to ee, the pony came to an abrupt stop. 3. He dipped tbe lamp in tbe lake and scooped up enougb water to fiU it. The oil ro e to the top of the water, covering the wick well.

On our arrival at Milnerton I bad to walk tbe course and found that the water jump was eleven foot wide. Tbe course consisted of thirteen jump, mo t of them an average of three feet nine inches high. I had two horses in the fir t event and wa busy warming them up when I heard my name announced over the loudspeakers. wbich told me to stand by for I was the next to jump. I entered the arena and I am glad to say my pony jumped a beautiful clean round in 62t seconds. Later on I rode my other horse but unfortunately received four faults. I eventually came econd after a really hard run-off. T jumped twice again that day but did not ~in any other prizes. Some people ay the be t t.htng about a how is all the fancy clothes the nders are wearing. One per on fell off in the water jump and was covered in mud from tip to tail. We left Milnerton at approximately four o'clock and arrived at the race cour e at about a quarter to five. On the way back to the stables we all bought ice sucker to celebrate the winning of our prize.

I. A farmer has five half-size hay tack, two three-quarter-size hay tack and one five-eightsize haystack. How many haystacks has he together if he puts them all together? 2. A black man, dressed all in black. is walking down a country lane. Suddenly a car without any lights comes round a corner and stops quickly. How did tbe driver see tbe man in the way? 3. How mucb earth i there in a hole measuring one foot by one foot? 4. You have two coin. Together they make ISc. But one of them i not Sc. What are the coin? 5. Would a steel ball fall fa ter through water at 60°F or 20°F?

while failing miserably in others. We took fourth place at tbe annual ath.letics meeting mainly because there was a scarcity of runners. Our congratulations go to Rhodes House for taking first place.

Athletics. A good combined effort by the team ensured us a victory which was most handsome by any standard. In tbe Open events two of our athletes did exceptionally welI-G. Barnard, who was the Victor Ludorum, and R. Raymond, who was the runner-up for this award. G. Bland wa outstanding in the Under 16 age-group.

Swimming. At the annual swimming gala we managed third place, and we thank all tho e who took part for displaying such good spirit. D. Powell is to be especially congratulated on gaining his swimming colour. Cricket. In the inter-house cricket we met with greater success and won handsomely. Our enior team, especially, proved far too strong for the other Houses, but this is not urprising as we had seven 1st XI players: Powell (who captained the side), Stephens, Rookledge, MundelI, GiLmour. Merrifield and De Swardt. We must, however, not forget our junior team who gave us excellent sup路 port. We congratulate C. Stephens on being awarded his Blue for hi election as a member of the W.P. Nuffield team.

Swimming. Rhodes won the gala, beating its closest rival, Van Riebeeck, by 36 points. Here it was B. Nielson and M. Emms who paved the way for victory by being the winner and runner-up, respectively, of the Senior Swimming Cup. In the Under 16 section two of our swimmers did very weU-No Oettle. and R.

No. 6 Partita in E for unaccompanied and played by Neville Pasvolsky

Fourth Function, 20 and 21st August 11 th Annual Hour of Music

Violin,

Neville showed excellent grasp of the music and gave an assured, thoughtful performance. The Orchestra then played three light French pieces: the Evergreen Barcarolle from Offenbach' 'Tales of Hoffmann," the Gavotte (rom "Mifnon" by Thomas, and the delightful 'The Mill" by Gillet. These were played with good style.

This occasion formed a milestone in the School's h.istory when the SchoolOrchestra celebrated its thirtieth birthday and in conjunction with the Choir gave a programme of both varied and interesting items.

The Choir, with Miss Elsie lenning as conductor and accompanist, sang four songs-an extract from "Rumpelstilkin," by J. Clements. Thank giving Hymn by Human, two Scotti b Folk Songs by l. Butt, and "I will make for brooches" by M. Helyer. These were done in the artistic manner we have become used to from an excellent Choir and it wa good to have Mr . lennings back after her term's furlough overseas. The final item brought Chorus and Orchestra together in "Swell the full Chorus to Solomon's praise" from Handel's Oratorio "Solomon" with Mr . lennings al the piano and Mr. Lorie leading the Orchestra.

We should first like to record that the occasion was graced on the Saturday evening by the distinguished presence of the Superintendent General of Education, Dr. l. Smit, and Mrs. Smit. who so kindly accepted our invitation, thereby making the event the more memorable. An added distinguished feature of the occasion, too, was the presence of three W.B.H.S. Headmasters, spanning nearly half a century. They were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Clegg who had given the Orchestra their blessing and its foundation in 1935, Mr. and Mrs. W. Bowden who had been regular attendants at all our functions, and Mr. and Mrs. N. Blackbeard, whom we were so glad to have with us for the first time. Our circuit inspector, Mr. M. Wiggett, and our Inspector of Music, Mr. l. Enslin were our guests too, as also Miss V. Lawton, principal of W.G.H.S., Miss [. Lawson, principal of Ellerton and Mr and Mr . P. van der Spuy, of Bergvliet High School.

At the conclusion, Mr. Lorie announced tho e performers whose names would be engraved on the Epworth Music Society Cup as the foremo t School Musicians of 1965, and they were Stephen Hunt, David Grodd, Neville Pasvolsky, Malcolm Bates, Arnon Hurwitz and Michael Herbert. The whole programme was repeated in the Clifford Storey Hall in Rosebank for the Epworth Music Society on Saturday, 28th August.

The programme opened with the Handel Occaional Oratorio March, a fitting introduction. David Grodd, the 1965 Orchestra leader, tben played an Arioso by Fiocco with Orchestral accompaniment, controlling a good legato line throughout. Malcolm Bates, with Mrs. Elsie lennings, at the piano played the Siciliano and Allemande from the Defesch Sonata tor Celloand Piano -this was a weU prepared, lively, rendering. Four Violinists, Stephen Hunt, David Grodd, Nevelle Pasvolsky and Arnon Hurwitz then grouped them elves for the solo parts in tbe Vivaldi Concerto in B minor for 4 Violins and Orchestra -a most pleasing ensemble. Next came Michael Herbert. making his first appearance as soloist with the Orchestra in Mozart' Rondo in D (K382). His playing showed excellent control and deliberate approach. An ambitious item next - the Gavotte and Grigue from Bach'

32nd Annual Entertainment by the Junior School Pupils On 16th, 17th and 18th September the Annual productions by the Junior School were taged in the School Hall. Item one was the usual attractive Kindergarten curtain raiser, this time the ong scene "Pirate ,'. mo t enthusiastically and successfully performed by the Sub A pupils under the direction of Miss K. Lacey, with Mr. lennings at the piano. and an excellent set by M. Pretorius. It i sad to think tbat this wa Mi Lacey's final contribution to our programme and we extend to her our grateful thanks for all the delightful item he has provided over the years.

ext came an operetta "The Marquis of Carabu .. by ina Perry. produced by Mrs. R. Just. with ongs and choruses directed and accompanied by Mr . E. Jennings. From the large cast the honours went to Leonard Atla a' Pus in Boots, Stewart Granger a Jack. Michael Walter as the King. David Crathorne as the Queen, Michael Goldstein as Dorothea. and Brian Lanz a the ogre. Thi wa a bright performance. :nere followed a complete contrast in the play "Plppi Long tocking" adapted from the book by A. Lindgrew, and produced by Mis R. Just. The five scenes portrayed five adventures in the very individual career of Pippi, who was ably acted by Richard Schaff. The supporting cast wa good and included Peter Shelton as Tommy. David Jupp as Andy, Derek polander and icholas mith as Mr. Heilson, the horse Kigel Wright and David Richard as the Policemen. David Lan and Hugh Bo man a the two tough, and Geoffrey Ronaldson as the chool teacher. This play too was a great ucce s due largely to the enthu iasm of the young performer. Sets in both play' were provided by Mr. K. Pretoriu. a i ted by Mr. . Wolff. and they were excellent. As usual. the tage management by Mr. Pretoriu and hi group of helpers, notably Michael Kahn and Beaument iel on. was the la t word in efficiency. To Mrs. Bal5illie go special thanks for her very attractive propertie . And we repeat what we had tated at the programme - A big "thank you" to parenL~ for costumes and support.

DRAMA

CLASSES

These were ~arted at the beginning of the second term by Mrs. R. Ju t. tbe junior school speech teacher, to whom we are highly grateful. Although their number is mall, the enthusia m of the boys involved has made the course most enjoyable and profitable. We were first instructed in the art of mime, although an unenlightened observer might well have put a very different construction on our ungainly prancing about to cacophonous timuli or apparent taging of trench attacks. ext followed what has been the most popular of our weekly les onÂ°. public speaking.

Rolt' (I. to r.):

On two occa ion during the ea on victory was within our grasp and the initiative wa wrested from u . We must be more determined! The la t two matches of the season. however, were played with more vigour, and we look forward to a brighter future. David Powell, Cbri Stephens, Brian Watson and Quenton Rook ledge are tbc backbone of the ideo When the e seasoned campaigner reali e lheir ability we shall be able lo beat any cboolboy side in Cape Town. David Powell took over lbe captaincy from Hilton Spark and led his side in lhe experimental Prolea league with varying degrees of uccess. Tbe match which stand out mo t vividly in my memory was the one played again t S.A.C.H.S. at their

ground. Both team cored at tbe rate of 3.4 run per over, totalling four-hundred and seventy runs in tbe seven hour of play. .A.C.H.S. et tbe tune, but our reply was just as enterprising. We needed only fifteen run to win when the last ball wa bowled. We were et tbe task of making twohundred and forty-five runs in 220 minutes. This was cricket at its best and we look forward to more of it. Chris Stephens, Ronaid Smith and David Powell represented us in the final trial at ewlands at the end of cbools' Week, with Brian Watson as tbe twelfth man for both ides. Chris Stepbens was selected and David Powell was eJttremely unfortunate to be omitted. He has a econd op61

portunity this year and we bope be wiU be more fortunate. Tbe backbone of our side could easily be tb at of the W.P. Nuffield team this year. These honours can be achieved only by dedication, practice, concentration, and shrewd cricket thinking and planning when confronted witb the ituations found during a matcb.

Micky Giles' century in lbe exhibition match at Newlands will long be remembered when coupled with that of DenĂ?$ Compton. Mike Bowditch was on tour with the W.P. xl and Jack Burt UDr.) was a twelftb man. In the Colts team Howard Spiro has done well behind the stumps and Dave MacMeaking captured most of the Boland wickets in the match at the close of tbe season. Bobby Giles bad a good season with the Technical College Club and Bruce Anderson is challenging Spiro for the vacant W. Province wicketkeeping post.

We were extremely fortunate to have messrs. Tom Reddick. and Martin Young a our proCe sional coacbes during tbe season. I was responsible for the Ist xl with Mr. Reddick. Martin Young and Mr. A. J. Morris coached the 2nd XI, Mr. S. Gilmore the 3rd Xl, Mr. A. Driessen tbe 4th xl and Mr. D. Bromberger tbe 5th XL Mr. V. J. Parkins conducted tbe affairs of the under fifteen group with the assistance of Messrs. T. Reddick, E. Hopkins, N. Jordaan, E. Mathew and B. McMinn. Mr. Kooy controlled the under thirteen players and Mr. K. Pretorius the affairs of the Junior School department of Cricket. The under fifteen B side and tbe under twelve team were privileged to have coaching from Mr. Young. Messrs. Bohling and Ju t are laying the foundations of our future cricketing strength in the under twelve sides. In the under ten group Mr. Wolf was assi ted by Pfeil, Watson, Kempton-Jones. Ryan, Pickthall and Deane. The games played every Monday afternoon are eagerly anticipated by the sixty-six cricketers who play k.eenly contested matches on the perimeter of the main cricket ground.

It will be a happy day for me when we once more have some of our "Old Boys" playing for the Varsity teams. Wben this happens I feel sure we will be on the road to baving our cricketers wearing the green and gold again. This has not been repeated since Aubrey FaLkner's days. Congratulations to U.CT. and Martin Young on their success last season in winning tbe first division competition. We would also extend our salaams to Richard Morris and Gavin Pfuhl of R.B.H.S. on their achievements in tbe S.A. Nuffield Xl which soundly defeated tbe Griqualand West team at the beginning of the year. AWARDS Blues:

Bals: Three bats were awarded for player who made centuries. Chris Stephens contributed two centuries and Quenton Rookledge one. We would take this opportunity to extend a belated welcome to our new Headmaster Mr. N. B1ackbeard from East London. We look forward to working with him in continuing to build the Cricket Club into a powerful force for We tern Province Cricket.

A special word of thanks is directed to Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Morris and Mr . Arnott, our matron, and their staff for their kind consideration and hospitality during the season. Not only teas but lunches were served to the I t XI and our visitors when matches were played at home.

We had a very enjoyable season although we did not win many of our games. This young and inexperienced team consisted of ome quite talented player who could develop into quite good cricketer. On the whole our bowlers were fairly successful but our batsmen need more practice and coaching. One of the more uccessful bowlers was Van Niekerk, who took even wickets for 21 run against Technical H.S. Theoder wa also uccessful against S.A.C.S., taking five wickets for thirtyone run .. Our most ucces ful batsmen were Honeyman and Van Niekerk, Van Niekerk scoring 29 run against Tech. H.S. and Honeyman making 21 against Rondebosch B.H.S. We repeat ... We had a very enjoyable season.

This year has been a mo t successful one in many ways although the re ults of the league matches were not very impres ive. Tn the past wc were fortunate in having talented and experienced players, but now that they have left us. we have had to spend much time in building up new teams.

One of tbe "bigWights" of the tennis season was tbe match against the masters: this time, however, we were soon beaten by a stronger staff team than u ua!. For the championships this year Mr. Boltman introduced, in addition to the open singles, a doubles event; as well as a beginner's and an under 15 section; the final of tbe open singles was again won by Zelig Leyser. who beat David Asher 6-2, 6-3. Tbe inter-hou e tennis once more proved mo t enjoyable and was won by De Waal House with Van Riebeeck a runner up. Last year D. A her and L. Wilmot were chosen to go to the Houba's tenni camp in the Christmas holiday. D. Asher and Van Gy en did exceptionally well in lhe W.P. Championships tbis year, when Asher won the double event with Van Gy en as runner up. Tn the league we were not very successful, but we have many promi ing junior who should, in the next year or two, belp to rai e tbe standard of tennis to what it was a few years ago. After

At the end of last year Mr. muts left the School, and we are indebted to him for all he did for school tennis. However. with the arrival of Mr. Boltman on the cene, things once again began to look promising, for he did much to organise regular practices and in particular to encourage the juruor players. Since the beginning of the second term, the new headmaster, Mr. Blackbeard, an experienced tennis player him elf. has shown keen interest in the tenrus. He has already made it possible for the courts to be maintained tbe wbole year round, and full advantage was taken of tbis privilege. It is hoped that tbe two gravel courts will be converted into all-weather courts. 70

I:areful consideration it has been decided to award the cup for the mo t improved player to Werbeloff. It must be remembered that thi cup is not given on tandard of play. but to the player who has made the most progres during the year. WerbelotI steadily worked his way up from being a reserve for the 3rd team to playing singles in the 2nd team. From the above report one can see that there ha been great activity in the tennis section this year, but there has also been a corresponding keen ne and enthu iasm on lhe part of the players themselves.

You will be feted in grand tyle. they will put on Float Procession which would rival even the U.CT. Rag. You will receive gifts and souvenirs and be entertained lavi hly. In fact they will do almost anything for you, but when the day of the game again t their ide dawns. they are only intere ted in one thing. and that is to defeat the Spri ngboks. Well. after 3 month in their heautiful country. we 1965 'Boks can vouch that all these glowing reports were proved not only true, but that in the end the e warm-hearted ew Zealanders were even barracking for u ! Ye , without a doubt this is The Tour of Tours, not only for the 32 lucky pringboks so fortunate to be elected, but it also seems so for the ew Zealander who. one gathers,. cannot wait for the nine years interval in between tours. The aying goe that a New Zealand boy when old enough to form ambition~. will put as his fi rst threl! the following: (a) To be an All Black. (b) To play again t the pringboks. (c) To beat the Springboks! However. before I attempt to relate ome of the intere ting high-lights of our wonderful experience in Kiwiland. let me briefly cover the three weeks spent in Australia. T do not think it is fair to compare this tour with that of New Zealand, as in Au tralia lt i quite obviou . apart from in Sydney (New South Wales) that Rugby Union i a poor third to Au tralian Rule and Rugby League which both have big following, drawing gates of 70.000 to their respective Cup-Finals. In Perth we over-ran West Au tralia 60-0 and 102-0. in Melbourne it wa 51-6 again t Victoria and in Brisbane de pite ome indifferent play we came away victors by 50-5 against Queensland. It was a ditTerent "kettle of fl h" again t New outh Wales. fielding 14 of the current Wallaby team and a you all know we went down to them in both the Te. t . Admittedly we were not quite geared for uch trong oppo ilion after the earlier walk over, but all credit to an experienced and well-balanced Australian Team-although T believe the Pres had a lot to say about the Referees!

A two hour flight from sunny Australia and we landed at Gisborne-North J land-to be welcomed in true ew Zealand tyle by pouring rain and thou and of fan Ijning the route to our Hotel, where the Police had to control another huge crowd. This ort of welcome we experienced all over orth and South Island and in Jnvercargill down outh they even bad us riding on Vintage Car, Traction Engine and old Fire Engines from the Airport to the Hotel-I might add thi wa for many of u a boyhood dream come true. 73

Of the Rugby you mu t all have read too much already and having alo read the results of the new paper Competition, calling for ideas on improving the game in outh Africa, it will not be nece ary to explain in detail the rea on tor our few defeats. However, after the debacle again-t Wellington we took tock of our game and went from trength to trength, beating amongst other uch formidable OpposJtion as Taranaki. holders of the prized Ranfurly Shield tor the past 2 year. Canterbury. North Auckland. Waikoto and Hawk Bay. A hard-earned 6-5 victory against Canterbury with only 13 men on the field for the last 5 minutes, wa only a forerunner of a vital 3rd Test. We were the underdogs when we ran onto the boggy "paddock" and we were still underdog at half-time with tbe core at 16-5. But courage, determination and a magnificent kick from Tiny au de in the dying minutes ot the game saw u clinch the match 19-16. The full-throated cheering of the taunch Kiwi crowd and the jubilation in our dressing room afterward will long remain in our memory. Of the other Tests: we felt that we did not capitalize on the chance available in the Ist Test at Wellington, where we lo t 3-6 in a howling gale on a wet field. Kobu Louw aptly referred to Wellington in hi after-match peech a -"A Baby-Always Wet and Windy." The 2nd Test at Carisbrook, Dunedin. is a game we 1965 pringbok will want to forget. eldom has any team played 0 poorly in a Test Match and T do not want to detract from the intelligent

play of the All Black Team under tho e atrocious conditions. In the 4th and Final Test at Eden Park our three-quarter were not given a good ball. Unfortunately tbe few opportunitie we did get we squandered for passes were either dropped or went astray which let the oppo ition in for tries. One wonders what would have been the outcome if Jannie Barnard' pas to Get Brynard in the tir t few minutes of the econd half had been cleanly taken and capitalized on with the score at that lage only 3-0. But that' the way matche are won or lo t. 0 let it be a les on to us. All the games were virtually Test Matches with most tearns having prepared for anything up to 8 month just for the one encounter-so you can imagine the tension built up. However they were all mo t enjoyable and incident-free. and it was a plea ure playing again t uch enthu ia tic and knowledgable Rugby people. The overwhelming bo pitality of these warmhearted ew Zealanders did much to dispel the 'train and fatigue that al way accompanies Rugby touri tso Proof of thi was the fact that we returned home on a Tuesday fresh and keen to play for our re pective lubs the following aturday. We will alway remember the evening of colourful entertainment at the variou Maori Concerts and last but not least the scene at Eden Park, Auckland after the Final Te t, as thou ands of New Zealanders raised their voices to bid us farewell with the traditional Maori ong, "Now is the Hour."

1965 Opportunities for port have grown manifold at Wynberg and no fewer than 12 different ports are offered. All pupil are therefore expected to participate in sport throughout the year. We should not, however, lose ight of the fact that Academic work still come fir t; but that it houJd be upplemented by sport i important tor the following rea ons: A healthy body is neces ary for a healthy mind. Organized school sport is valuable because it keeps pupils occupied and diverts excc-'>Senergy into desirable channels. Sports educates the pupil to look after his health, hi greatest asset. Thi - IS important while he i at school but much more "'0 when he leave

choo!. It alo ed uca tes him in qualitie of character so important in everyday life: co-operation, self-di cipline, determination and leadership. The following porting activitie are oltered: Win/er: Rugby, ro s- ounlry. Summer: wimming, ricket, Athletics, Rowing. Whole year: Golf, Mountain-climbing, Badminton, Table Tennis, Judo, Gymnastic, Tennis. When participating in aoy of these, we bould remember, above all, the motto of the Modern Olympic Games: "The important thing is not so much winning but in taking part: the essential thing i not conquering but fighting well.'路

As one of the keenest nurseries of South African Rugby. we at Wynberg have always followed the fortunes of our National teams with great interest. This year two old boys of the School. namely Lionel Wilson and Douglas Hopwood were members of the touring Springbok ide in Au tralasia and we extend to them our heartiest congratulations on being selected. We could have had a third Old Boy in the side, for Dave Stewart informed the National Selector before the trial!; that. for busines reasons. he would not be available for the long tour. Doug, unfortunately, was hampered by injuries and only came into hi own near the end of the tour, but did sterling work in leading the Springbok pack. Lionel had a grand tour and his rocklike defence earned him the praise of the All Black Captain, Wilson Whineray, who paid tribute to him as a great defensive player with tremendous courage. lt ha been a sad year in the annals of Springbok rugby. starting with the ill-conceived and disastrous short tour of the British Tsles, and in Australia and New Zealand our players struggled for most of the time. Jn the Briti h Isles we kept a promise. but paid a heavy price where we won friend , but lo t prestige as a rugby force. In New Zealand our rugby was so bad at one stage, that one of the New Zealanders, out of ympathy, offered hi ervices a a coach to the Springboks! We in outh Africa were addened and felt humiliated by these reports. Although the performances of our Springbok have reached a lowebb, they did fight back, especially in the third test. which we won convincingly but threw away our chance in the last test. The question now ari es. Has our rugby reaUy declined to such an alarming extent? On thi point, there are many differing opinions. Some ay that the easy way of life in our country has oftened up our players. Tbis rea oning i more an alarmi t reaction to our rugby di asters than a real effort to find the cause for our iUs. The real truth is that, in an attempt to experiment with the new laws. our forwards got used to playing too loo e. Our game has drifted. We have

lost tbe art or rather the technique of playing forward with at least five tight forwards. Although our forwards were bigger than lhe ew Zealanders, we did not use our bodies and ran about too much. Rucking was something our forwards had to learn from scratch. Also in the line-outs there wasn't tbe inten ive support. consequently we received too many bad balls. This. combined with the " econd phase" attack, namely hallow lining up by one' opponents. stifled our play to a large extent. Our club, provincial and international coaches must get the old ba ic forward pattern of tight play and hard rucking back again-the type of rugby played by Boy and Fanie Louw, Johan Claas en, Ferdie Bergh, George van Reenen, Chris Koch and all our other great forwards. Test matches are hard. grim. reIentie games and we will go on lo ing them if we do not learn and remember the les ons of the past. There is nothing wrong with our players. They have not gone soft, nor need they go and chop down trees in order to beat their opponents. "Craven Week" has come to stay and the W.P. School's ide was this year elected after School were invited to put forward their nominations. Exten ive trial matches were played and tbe "best" team wa selected. We congratulate Mr. J. F. 00 thuizen, who once again very ably coached the W.P. ide and accompanied them to East London. We al 0 congratulate our players wbo were elected for tbe W.P. Scbool's side, namely: M. Era mus (wing), M. Emms ( crum-half) and D. le Roux (flank). The following player were reserves for tbe ide: C. Stepbens (centre) and B. de Smidt (hooker). The School experienced a uccessful season, entering fifteen team, namely tbe Under 19 A, B, C; Under 16 A and B; Under 15 A and B; Under 14 A and B; Under 13 A and B; Under 12 A, B, C and D.

lost lo rugby, there is till a large number who do not play any winter sport. We are perturbed about this! The School side, very ably led by David Hughes, was one of the stronge t in the competition and lo t only five matches. They played very attrac路 tive rugby and we congratulate Messrs. 00 thuizen and Ta ker and thank tbem for the time, energy and devotion pent on these teams. The econd team played some extremely good game and those which tbey lo t, were only by a mall margin. They were very ably led by Gerald Abelsohn and had a tine team spirit. They had a fine et of forwards, but the backs,

although running hard, were inclined la fumble their passes at the vital moments. Their best games were the 8-3 win against Hottentots Holland and their narrow 9-3 defeat again t Rondebosch, when the team was depleted due to injuries in the fir t team. The game again t t. Joseph was very exciting, the winning try being cored econds from time. They alo had pleasant friendlies against Pinelands and Bergvliet. Knight and Probyn gave Abel ohn valuable support throughout the season. The Under 19 C and D had a fairly successful ea on this year and even the D team bad a few matche arranged for it tru year. 77

As again t la~t year tbere was a great improvement in tbe performance of tbe C team and a high point was reached in their defeat of the ea Point B team. The Under 16 sides suffered becau e there were few reserves. Tbe A team was potentially a very good side at the beginning of the sea on, bUL their play was affected by the fact that the B team was not a trong side. Both teams, however. never gave up trying and their morale remained high. The Under 15 ide played attractive rugby. The best games of the A team were against Rondebosch, which was won 3-0 and against SACS, lo t 3-0. The A team has much talent, but the backs must improve their tackling. The B team improved steadily during the season, and beat Paul Roos in an exciting game by 11-10. The Under 14 A ide, ably led by A. Katz, was one of our best team and only lo ttbree matches, scoring 169 points and only 30 against. Their coach, Mr. Grobler is to be congratulated on thi achievement. The Bide, led by Peters. al 0 did well and had a good team spirit. The Under 13' did not have much uccess, mainly becau e last year's Under 12 A team did not come up a a unit. Tru left ome gap in the backline. The forwards were strong, but the backs lacked speed and did not handle well. The team were weakened by illness and withdrawals. A large number of boys entered for the Under 12 ection and the re erves had a regular weekly practice. The Under 12 A team had a fairly uccessful season, winning the majority of their games. They played brilliant rugby at times. Marius Oosthuizen and Eric ca per thrilled many pectator with their electrifying break from the three-quarter line. The B side had a reasonable number of successes. The C and D tearns were unfortunate in that they often had to compete against the A and B teams from slightly smaller chools. The Junior first team and an Under 12 team played Grey College of Bloemfontein, winning one game and lo ing the other. The School were hosts to three touring side during the ea on, namely Durban Boy' High, Milton High and St. Aidan' of Graham town. We thank the ho tel taff for putting up our vi itor and extending our ho pitality to them. Both our Durban visitor and our boy will long remember the braaivleis at Wemmer hoek. Tt is the first time in living memory that chops and boerewor have got the better of choolboys!

As Mr. Tasker"s successor as O.C. of Rugby at Wynberg, 1 wi h to pay a pecial tribute to him for the many year of hard work and devotion he has put into rugby at Wynberg, Realising the magnitude of the ta k, it was with trepidation that r stepped into his shoes, and now that the season is over, J can but give a sigh of relief. It i indeed a mammoth job, looking after all the teams and coaches, listening to everybody's troubles and problems, answering and making hundreds of phone call, entertaining and looking after touring sides, rounding up lost property, arranging bus trips to Paarl and Stellen bo ch and countless other les glamorous, but e ential chores connected with our rugby. We thank him for hjs great services to rugby at Wynberg and are grateful that he is still able to as ist witb the coa.ching of the first team. Our Cake, Coffee and Cool Drink Stand has become a regular feature on Saturday mornings, and we wish to thank all the ladies of our PT.A. who have given up so much time for this very essential ervice to the School. Thank you, ladies! The Junior School wi hes to thank all the "uncles". namely Abelsohn, Bairstow, Standley, Emms, Blotnick, Grodd, Shantall, Pfeil, Fine and Jones, who have coached our up-and-coming pringboks on Friday afternoons. For the first time this year we held our InterHouse Competitions on a Saturday morning and everybody present, including the players, thought it to be a big success. We hope to see more parents pre ent next year. The Rugby Equipment department once again did their job efficiently and we thank Sheddon. Dodd, Heydenrych and their assi tants for their excellent work. The chool wi hes to place on record its appreciation of the services rendered by leading W.P. referees in handling our senior games at Wynberg. Without the assi tance of these men we could not have carried on. We thank especially Messrs. Burmeister, Major Kolesky, Salkow, Peter Morris. Burman, Kelynack, Hawtrey, Engelke and MareĂŠ. The chool vs. Old Boy game wa a grand exhibition of rugby. We never knew that our "young" old-boy could run so fast, and tbe referee Joe Salkow afterward testified that he had never in all hi life run 0 much in uch a hort time! Next year we would like to ee a few of the older generation on the field. We were at all times very plea ed to ee Mr. and Mr . Blackbeard watching the fortunes of our teams and we thank them not only for the interest they have hown in our rugby, but alo for the

D. BAIRSTOW.-A very promising young wing. He has speed and intelligence; he mu t remember, however, that a wing mu t always go hard for tbe corner flag; he must also remedy a weakness in defence and not play his game in snatches. A very good prospect for next year.

G. HAMMO D. - Tbrough sheer hard work and determination he has developed into a firstclass fly-half. With good hands and feet, and a cool head, he has exceptional promise; is one of the few players who has improved his speed and thrust in his first three yards. Awarded Rugby Blue for 1965.

Badminton, a most popular port among many Wynberg boys, was started in the third term more as an experiment than anything else. Needles to say it has been a great uccess. and the club intends devoting the rest of this year to practices and informal gatherings, with the likely pro peet of several. Springboks coming to help with occa ional coaching.

1965 will mark something of a turning point in the history of athletics at tbe scbool-not 0 much in the way of results a in the circumstances and traditions of the sport. To start with, we had to ay good-bye to Mr. O. le Roux, who left at the eod of the fir t term. The 1965 annual atbletics meeting wa therefore the last meeting he organized and our thank go to him for his efficient organization and coaching over the past few year. Then, too, it was the last time tbat the meeting was held at the Garrison ground-a ground that every Wynberg boy and athlete pa t and present. know well. The chool expre es its gratitude to the Defence Force for allowing us the u e of their track for 0 many year. We must now provide our own track, and Or. Wood i already hard at work preparing a track at the Hawthornden ground. rn another break with the past, meetings will in all probability be held in the future on Saturdays in tead of Friday. a has been customary. Thi change certainly has its advantage from a spectator's point of view. and Old Boys could even be persuaded into participating in an Old Boy' race. The meeting itself wa held on the 26th February in good weather. Rhodes Hou e won with a total of 148 points. M. Oosthuizen broke B. Weinreich's 1949 record in the Under 12 120 yards with a time of 15 seconds. D. Whitfield's 1959 record for the Under ] 6 hot-putt was al 0 broken by A. raxton. Mo t promi ing of the junior runner were G. le Roux (Under 10) and M. 00 thuizen ( nder 12). G. Barnard was Victor Ludorum with three fir t place. The meeting ended with the presentation of cup by Mr. legg.

1965 Last year it became apparent that the old crosscountry course would oon have to be changed owing to the development of housing e tate and motor freeway. We were sorry to ee it go because it was a tough, challenging cour e which had taxed the endurance of determined runner over many year. The new cour e adopted thi year ha . however, 'everal advantage. lt starts in the chool ground. taking the runners round the field before they go into Tennant Road. by which time they are thinned out so as not to pre ent too serious a traffic hazard The cour e then includes the new fields on Hawthornden Estate and leads back to the school. going down De Villier treet, acro Alexander Road and down Fair eat Avenue to the orth East corner of the C. field. After a circuit of the field the whole Cour e i repeated, giving a total of approximately 3t miles. Thi course eliminate too much road running and by bringing the runners through the chool again for a econd round make the race more interesting from a spectator point of view. A further advantage stem from the fact that the course i shorter and fa ter. Thu our cour e i brought more into line with that of the interehooIs cro -country, and thi makes it easier for our runners when they part.icipate in that event. Since the cour e i shorter and impIer. we can al 0 expect many more pupil to take part and thi expectation wa in fact realized thi year. La t year the average number of total points obtained by the houses was 3,705. This year it wa 8,755. Following are the detailed re ults of the variou cro s-playground and cross-country race.

The junior 'wimmers made very good progress this year, but the same cannot be said of all the eniors. some of whom forgot that it is essential to train hard and regularly. A Colour award was made to B. Niel on for winning the Senior Swimming Cup. He did not qualify for a Blue, as none of his time was within a colour time. At the Gala no fewer than eight new record were established. This is a healthy sign. As in the past, the Annual Inter路Hou e Gala was keenly contested and the final result was: 1. Rhodes, 131 points. 2. Wellington, 90 points. 3. De Waal. 64 points. 4. Van Riebeeck, 41 points.

H.M.

The Mountain lub has now been in existence for three years and through the enthusia m of its members and organisers it can truthfully claim to be one of the more active clubs in the school, and well established in the School's activitie . Finding thoroughly competent and responsible leaders has proved difficult, but through the unremitting efforts of Mr. Peter Cronwright we have once again been well supported by leader, mostly members of the South African Mountain Club, of which Mr. Cronwright himself is a prominent member. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Cronwright for the organisation he has done. Al the time of writing the committee has decided to how its gratitude by conferring on him the po ition of Honorary President. Mr. Morri, our chairman and master in charge. ha been a constant source of encouragement and has given tbe committee all his upport for which we are very grateful. The club has gained materially during lhe year with a grant from the school, used to buy a nylon rope, a tent, and other equipment which is loaned to members. A Mountain lub badge, in the process of manufacture, will be awarded to deserving members and will form official recognition of climbing ability and service lo lhe club. During the summer holiday Mr. ronwrighl led a large party of Wynberg boy to the edarberg, and I am sure that the eight day in uch beautiful urroundings made a lasting impression on the members. The year was opened with a plea ant climb every fortnight ranging from ea y cramble to difficult rock. Worthy of note are the climbs on Postern and ilver tream Buttres led by Mr. Scoble and Mr. Weller, and alo more difficult routes taken by senior member. We are indebted lo Mr. C. Katz for allowing u to attend everal rock-meets under the outh African Mountain Club. These formed a very good training ground for correct climbing technique as well as giving great enjoyment. Apart from the regular climbs we undertake, other activities are arranged. We have had three evening meeting in the Junior chool a embly room, the first being a creening of Mr. ronwright' fine !ides of the edarberg. The guesl spea ker for our third meeting wa Mr. F. Bacon

who poke on the Matterhorn. and illustrated bi' lalk with slides, a memorable evening with a fine speaker. The history of tbe first ascent of this mountain was very interesting. In addition to these large gatherings we have had a number of films screened during lunch-hour at school. and during a break Mr. Mills, a doyen of the South African Mountain Club, spoke on the ignificance of mountain climbing and pointed out many basic rules of good climbing and courtesy. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the Committee (Ainsworth, Glaun, De Smidt. Fi cher-Jeffer, Barnes, and esselberg) who have con i tently upported me and taken a large amount of wark off my shoulder. Our only dis路 appointment during the year i that more junior member have not joined the Club, and I hope that thi lack of young members will be remedied next year. These will be the life-blood of the club and without a strong junior member hip the club mu t ultimately die. J urge future office bearers to make their main aim-the recruitment of a ery strong junior ection. R. Horwitz (Hon. Secretary).

Other functions include three interesting film-hows which unfortunately were very poorly attended. In August tbc school challenged the confident Old Boys to a match at Westlake Golf Club and. much to the Old Boys' embarra ment. the school won by three games to two_ A knockout competition is now reaching its closing stages and in the final round P.

In conclusion on behalf of the committee ] hould like to thank Mr. Kooy for giving up his valuable time in order to help u with the arranging of competitions and other function. 1 am ure that next year when it is firmly established the Golf Club will rise from strength to trength. The results of the Old Boys' Match during Augu t are a follow. I. Powell and Gilmour beat Good and Goosen. 2. Goldblatt and Lipsbitz lost to Bunting and Goodwin. The latter game proved to be extremely exciting with two points eparating the winners from the lo ers. 3. Patter on and Miller beat Groenewald and Trott in another tense game_ 4. Mr. Kooy and Mr. Parkins, both playing for the school, beat Mr. Hopkin and Mr. Miller, an old boy of the school, by a very clo e margin. Final result: School won by 3 games to I.

At the beginning of the year a completely new club joined the ranks of tbe other numerous societies. This club was to be known as the Golf Club. Forty boy wishing to become members were i ued with membership cards. As tbe club i still "wet behind the ear " and if we take into account the many diffi~ultie having to be overcome, the Golf Club has been highly uccessful during the pa t year. ix ucce sful competitions have been held at various club which have been mo t kind in granting us the courtesy of their cour e . These competitions were enjoyed by all concerned and the winner are as follow: Hamburger, Goldblatt (who won two), W. Mular. Van Blomme tein and Cowood. In March Mr. Jack Plummer and M r. Brian Henning gave an appreciative audience, consi ling of eventy boy, an interesting talk on various aspect of golf. There was an air of excitement in the hool hall as Mr. Henning gave an account of how he and hi three brother all became famous professional. The Inter- chool competition was also held in March at the Rondebosch Golf lub. Eightyfive boy from many Cape chools look part, Wynberg having one of the bigge t entrie with fifteen competitors.

To increase the membership, which at the moment tands at about 25, the club hopes, during the cour e of the coming year, to undertake an extensive coaching programme aimed particularly at the lower classe .

The committee has been exemplary and I would like to thank them all for their selfless support. Our tbanks go to Mr. Driessen, the master·in· charge, Mr. Mathew and Mr. Kooy, for their upport and interest which was such an asset. All tbe praise, for a blessed year of advancement and learning, goes to God, our Keeper and our Strength at aU times.

But thi one thing I do, forgetting those thing which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before I press towards the mark for the high calling of God in hri t Jesu .,. Romans 14:9. I,

Owing to perseverance by the committee, this past year has been a very enriching and successful one. A hand core of christian fellows has been developed in the school which will be able to take over and run the meeting in the future. Our numbers have been mall but very con tant, a good thing in many ways.

HEBREW CULTURAL SOCIETY

Great blessing has been received from the different meeting during the week, in particular on Mondays at lunch breaks. From these meetings we have learnt more and more of the moral tandards et u by hrist himself. A a group, we have endeavoured through a contact with God by means of prayer meetings during short break on Wednesdays, and a Bible tudy at long break on Thursdays, to live up to these tandard, helping each other constantly.

Chairman: G. Abelohn. Secretary: N. Pogrund. Committee: G. Bloch, D. Phillip . D. Grodd. The year got off to a lively start with meetings being held at regular intervals. A new innovation was the showing of film every week. These were kindly loaned by the local Zionist Federation. Here I hould like to thank Gordon Bloch, who took it upon him elf to acquire the films and re· turn them after each showing; in addition he gave up many lunch-breaks to work the projector. We should also like to thank M r. Mathew for the use of the Laboratory.

The boarding hou e section of our meeting, under the very efficient leadership of 1. Nieuwoudt, ha also received great blessing. Members meet together every week to discus various ubjects. This ha been very fruitful and of benefit to each one.

Po ibly the most interesting and intriguing film was "Altitude 40,000", which showed a day in the Life of the jet fighter of Israel. A elo e second was "City Called Eilat", which gave one a corn· plete urvey of tbi modern and continuaUy ex· panding city.

During the first term we arranged a programme of speaker from the Bible Institute at Kalk Bay. I hould like to expre! s our gratitude for tbe mesages they gave which were very helpful and in· formative. During the econd term we followed lhe theme of: "Chri tians from all walk of life," and our eyes were truly opened. During the third term we followed a eries of questions which were answered fully by different speakers. I should like to thank them for their expo ition and J do hope they gained a much by their preparation as we did through their answers.

We were most fortunate in having hief Rabbi Abraham address lhe society on "What tbe Bible holds for modern youth". His talk wa mo t in· teresting and stimulating, and many young ter would be well·advi ed to take heed of his advice. Finally 1 hould like to thank all the boy who upported us 0 well throughout the year.

Early this year our much loved and respected Headmaster, Mr. Bowden, after failures in hi health, finally handed over the reins of the School to our new Headmaster. Mr. N. Blackbeard. hortly after Mr. Blackbeard's assumption of office, our Union had a memorable Old Boy' Dinner at which we were privileged to have present three senior school Headmasters and one junior chool Headmaster, which must be a record for any of our Old Boys' Dinners.

Schools in their annual tournament. Now Bruce has added ano· ther distinction to his prowes at sport by selection for the Western Province Badminton team. Our only Provincial election prior to this one was when Gilbert Dyamond played a quarter of a century ago. G. Bunting has also obtained his We tern Pro· vince colours in the newest sporting activity at School-Golf. He played successfully in the Senior W.P. ~ide in their recent excur ion to the Ea tern Province and the George district. Returning to Badminton we hear that two others, George Lumb and Mickey Giles bave done extremely well, Mickey with his brother Bobby, has also excelled in cricket. Both brother played for tbe W.P.

At False Bay, where Henny Oosthuizen is coaching, Hugh Hutton is in the enior side. There are many False Bay upporters among the Old Boy fraternity from Wynberg, not least of all being the Ro !ind brothers, Max Price and Max Marcus.

He wa the only Wester Province representative in the Springbok team that competed against the crack Australjan Surf Life·saving team in the test held in Cape Town. the other South Africans all being from Natal. Ken did outstanding work and was praised for his wonderful effort and his modesty. He had a fine career a a swimmer while at School and repre ented W.P. in the Junior section at the .A.

of us last season. After the Berlin episode he probably holds the German sprint titles! Earlier in this Section we have referred to BruceBrand's award of the C.B.E., and a few notes ~egarding his sporting prowt!Ss will be of topical Interest. Bruce captained the School cricket team shortly after we joined Rondebosch, S.A.C.S.. and Bishop in a competition named Schools Championship. This was competed for in the midtwenties and early thirties. fn the hort period of it~ establishment Wynberg ju t missed fini hing winner on three occa ion, one of them Bruce's year. Contemporaries of his were Dr. Stanley Eddy, Gilbert Dyamond, the late Cecil Friedlander, Jack Burt, Cyril Sharp and Cyril Youll among others. All of the latter later distinguished themelves in senior cricket, where Jack Burt and Cyril Youll played for Western Province To his cricketing achievements Bruce added rugby, and he played for Villagers. In this sphere he was a contemporary of Nick van Oudtshoorn, Mick Myburgh and Eric Bouchet, as weil as that fine centre-three-quarter. Victor Victor and scrum-half Denis Watson. ' School touring teams to Rhodesia became acquainted with him, and on Villager tours many Old Boy likewise met him when he was ha t to them as Chairman of the Salisbury Sports Club. To him we tender our most sincere congratulations on yet another notable achievement. The la t occasion that we were repre ented in Provincial hockey was, as far as we can recall. in the early thirties when Lionel Williams played for Western Province and. we think, Tramvaal. Now, after all the e years, we find two Old Boys selected. not for Province, but for W.P. Country Districts in the Hockey Tournament. They are R. Bosomworth. who also played for the School First xr at cricket, and Peter Pullen, who al 0 played a prominent part in chool cricket, and later for Green Point enior side. Stanley Bevan wa also a prominent repre entative for Province in the twenties, and gained di tinction as a test hockey umpire. At the time of writing, we are pleased to see another two of our younger Old Boys making their footprints in the sporting sands. One is Alistair Thorn, of Bowaters, who has been playing rugby for Tran vaal. He is about to leave for a spell in England with his firm, and while be is there he hopes to link up with Richmond Rugby Club. The other i Mike Bowditch who has been

promoted to Villager' enior side after a successful season la t year in the Under 19 ~ide. Mike has also played cricket for Western Province. Bahamas Bound Jimmy Cole, after serving briefly at the Port Elizabeth Branch of Barclay's Bank, was offered a transfer to the Bahamas-and grabbed it before the Bank could change its mind. Jn a recent letter he writes: "1 had a very pleasant trip to the Bahamas, and I spent one day in Nassau before being transferred to Freeport on Grand Bahama Island about 120 mile off as au and 120 mile east of Florida. Life on this Island i full of interest. Although it is pretty barren it received a big boost a few years ago (concessions from the Government) and is now developing extremely fast. Roads. houses, hotel, hop. etc. are being built all the time, and there's a great influx of American tourists attracted by the casino. We work hard at lhe bank because of this. and our staff has trebled during the last year. r am working in the Foreign Exchange department, and we are preparing for a switch to decimal currency, linked to sterling but based on the U.S. dollar. Off duty thi r land i a paradise. warm weather, beaches. tropical palms, skindiving. water ki-ing and tennis. Having fun!" Jimmy's brother, David, has obtained hi B.Sc degree and is spending 1965 as a tudent teacher before being appointed to a permanent po t. Donald MacDonald Keith Andrews, writing from the Noodsberg Sugar Co .. Durban, sent us a note which stated laconically, "something of interest from Banana Land." This was a cutting from the Sunday Tribune of 30th May. containing Leyden's Sportfolio on Donald MacDonald, and a cartoon of him. Donald's fine record appeared in a recent magazine, but to recap briefly, be beid tbe W.P. hurdling title for the 120, 220 and 440, and the national titles for the 120 and 220. He equalled the S.A. record for the 120 hurdles in 14.1 seconds. Jack Ross Jack Ros, wbo erved with distinction in tbe N.R. Police until 1961 wben be retired, wrote to Ginger Townley Johnson regarding a change of address, and Ginger has pointed out the series of coincidence that have affected tbe two families.

Another was Jack arsten who. after coming through Delville Wood, joined the Indjan Army. We are not aware whether there are others. but there may be two or three more.

Robin, who was 21, had been a member of the A.C.F. and was to have been awarded rus wings at a ceremony in Bloemfontein two days after the disaster. His employment was tb at of an insurance clerk, but be was more interested in flying and aeronautics generally, and his life was absorbed by matters pertaining to the air. Quiet and sen ilive by nature, he was of the tuff of which good pilots are made.

R_ "Bull" Pritchard Like Frank Melli h, "Bul!"' Pritchard wa' ca t in the ame mould. Of immense trength, this genial giant of a man was neverthele s a kindly. gentle person who endeared him elf to both the younger generation and the older. He was a rugby player of note. an athlete and fi herman. Hi love of the sea was natural. as he was a powerful swimmer; and perhap thi a pect of his life made him a legendary figure along the False Bay coa t. for Mr. Pritchard had aved many live from drowning. He in hi modest way could not recall the exact figure. but we believe it totalled twenty. As in war time. when the mo t courageous acts are not ob erved, o. with ea-rescues and attendant drama. the reward is seldom recognised by authority unies the acts are prominently publici ed. For this reason 'Bull" Pritchard never received the awards his gallant efforts merited. Perhap he would have preferred it that way! He erved with di tinction in the 1914-18 War. and in hi later years he was a prominent Fish Hoek resident and Founder-member of the enior lub where, no doubt, he delighted his contemporaries with hi anecdotcs. To thousands of vi itor hi lovely garden became a venue to which they flocked when he threw it open to the public. The proceeds derived from thjs delightful gesture were donated to local charitie .

LATE NEWS IN BRIEF David Lytton has produced another book, 'The Grass Won't Grow Till Spring" (Bodley Head). Serving with R.R. Just before going to Pres we received a letter from RonaId Gaylard, of wbich the following i an extract: "You are probably aware that Rolls Royce have a wide range of engineering products, for example, motor cars, nuclear reactors, diesel engines. marine engines and aero engines. T am employed as a Production Engineer in the Aero Division which manufactures engines for jet fighters like the Buccaneer, which the S.A.A.F. have recently bought, a well as engines for large airliner like the VCIO which has Conway by-pass jet engines to power it. These are tbe same engines as power Britain' nuclear bomber. The factory that I work at is situated in Derby in the Midland of England, with very nice countryside within five miles of the city. Life is very imilar to that in S.A. but obviously I miss the sea and sunshine very much. My job is to investigate new methods of machining the very difficult materials which are u ed in making jet engines. More particularly I am responsible for the introduction of spark machining for making djes which are u ed to forge turbine blades. J am al 0 concerned with electro-chemical machining which is aproce imilar to that of plating, only in reverse. 1 am very intere"ted to bear that the 1st XV had a good season. I am playing for Derby and Derbyshire this year with hopes of getting into tbe Nottinghamohire. Derby hire and Lincolnshire combined County side, which T played for last year."
