EDITORIAL Throughout the ages youth has always had to face up to the challenges of the future bolstered by idealism and confidence but devoid of experience. With the onset of age not only do the arteries harden but attitudes tend to solidify, and the challenge to age is to remain intellectually flexible and not be bogged down by the customs and habits of the past. The scenario to this conflict of ideals and ideas is popularly called the generation gap. It is virtually impossible for youth to be tolerant towards the foibles and failings of age, while it is supremely difficult for age to countenance the exuberant iconoclasm of the young. Imagination and intelligently applied experience on the part of those long in years can to a certain extent bridge the gap between the generations, but this requires a degree of sensitivity and imagination that is seldom found in those of any age. And generation gaps also appear in youth, dividing for instance the teenagers from those in the late twenties. The conviction that the modern youth is feckless and decadent is a token that decrepitude has set in, often prematurely, while the obsession of youth that it has all the answers is a sign of extreme immaturity. Scipio Africanus held that the long-haired Roman young men were decadent and that the future for Rome was dark indeed. The subsequent glories of the Roman Empire proved him wrong. Chairman Mao's confidence in the Red Guard as custodians of the revolutionary spirit had swiftly to be revised when the ravages of impetuosity soon proved that youth without experience was wrecking the day-to-day routine administration of government. Affluence has its problems as well as advantages, and present-day youth has an ample share of both. On the debit side, entertainment comes too easily nowadays. Most of it is canned, laid on, ready to hand, ear and eye, and contrasts sharply with the past when much had to be self-provided. Modern youth is more orientated to change than its predecessors. The speed of change accelerates with each passing year, life's tempo grows faster, and what was a scientific myth or fantasy yesterday is now an accepted part of routine living, and does not raise a headline or even an eyebrow. Political, social and economic African conditions are in the historical melting pot, and we in South Africa are very close to the swirling vortex of rapid change and innovation. The South African youth of today will be the planners and administrators of tomorrow and, unless they are aware of the immense problems looming in the present and shimmering in the future, they in turn, when the time comes, will not be sufficiently Imaginative and inventive to cope with rapidly changing situations, and their children and grandchildren too will complain about the mess their world has been left in.

SENIOR SCHOOL NOTES Departures The departure of Me r. Blake, Heath, Fernandez, Frauenknecht, Hurter, Malan, Pai ley, Zondagh and of Mi Rus el and Mr. Nortjé was reported in last year' magazine. This i a relatively table year a far as talf-change is concerned. Only four masters are leaving: Me rs. Jone , Jack on, Tasker and Broster.

Mr. Tasker, weil known to three generations of Wynberg boys. ha filled the vacant P.T. po t for the la t 18 month and will take a well-earned re t at the end of the year. lt ha been pleasant having Mr. Tasker back with us. He tackled hi unfamiliar job with .his usual zest and thoroughness and camc to be regarded as elder- tate man to whom many went for advice and help. Hi lunchtime talks on rugby were an inspiration to many of our players. We wish him a refre hing re t arid hope to have him back with us before long. Mr. Bro ter ha been with us for eight year. apart from an 18-month period of teaching in England. He i a dedicated. re ourcefui, enthusiastic cience teacher who immersed him elf in the teaching and sporting life of the chool.

Now Mr. Broster is going to R.B.H .. , hi old chool, as joint-head of the cience department. We thank him for all he has done for W.B.H .. and we wi h him every uccess in hi future career. After four year' teaching at Wynberg. Mr. C. Jordaan has re igned and intend travelling Europe on an extended holiday. He will finance his travel and gain fresh experience by teaching wherever he can. M r. Jordaan will be mis cd on the cricket and rugby fields. We wi h him and hi wife a happy oversea's stay.

Q)hituary MR. WILL CLEGG With the pa ing of Will legg ended an era in lhe history of Wynberg. Although thi chool can trace it lineage ao;;far back a 1841 and proudly claims to be the second olde t chool in South Africa. conceding priorily onl to .A.C.S., the foundation of the hool in it modern, flouri hing form wa. laid during Ihe tenure of Will and Lucy Clegg. The truggle and fru tration of that formati e period. the patience to cope with departmental inertia, Ihe imaginalion and initiati e 10 pbn ahead. the determination to keep on trying de pile the tra ail and di,appointment Ihat often accompanied their efforts. make a tory of elfle' 'er ice to the chool in particular and lhe community in general. Mr. Clegg. a native Lanca trian, came to outh Africa in 1912. A science graduate of Manche ter ni er ity. he joined the Wynberg taff in 1915 a a mathematic and cienee teacher. Four year later he wa appointed headma ter, a position which he occupied until hi retiremenl in 1947. When he took over the choo!. which lhen in luded both the senior and junior ection , the number of pupil wa le than 300. The chool building Ihem elves left much to be desired. while Ihe condition' in the ho tel were primiti e. uch was the euing for Ihe young headmaster and hi wife at the out et of their career: they were not only tarting from ratch but \ ere al 0 heavil handicapped. Fortunately Ihe legg' palent affection for each other ~ a matched by their mutual dedication to the ta.k confronting them: their irtue and qualities were complementary. They contributed a dignity to the cho I which carried through to the Wynberg illage. elting a lOne which i till e ident among the older Old Boy of their generation. They were ,dway~ enthu ia ,tically intere ted in everything pertaining to the choo!. the village and e peciall Ihe growing number of Old Boy. Throughout hi period of retIrement Mr. legg wa eldom ab ent from any important chool and Old Boys' function. and he soon wa recogni ed a an elder tale man. a father figure. by the yuunger generation of past and pre ent pupil. who became accu tomed to be entertained and in.lructed hy hi hort, pithy peeches and random comment and ob er ation' made in general conversation. Like a good wine. he mellO\ ed with age. To the Old Boy and the Staff, tho e who erved under him and those who later met him at school galhering . he will alway remain a warm per onalilY, a ource of afl'ectionate anecdote, the po e or of a dry and kindly humour, and the gi er of wdl- ea oned advice. Old Boy' functions will not be the ame without him. To manv he epitomi ed Wynbo::rg: hi contact with tbe school ranged 0 er two generation, and hi. contribution wa corre pondingly great. While Mr. legg coped succe' fully with the manifold problem of chool routine, Mr. legg. in her domain, the ho<;te!. el a . tandard eldom reached by "hou e-mother " anywhere. be oon e tabli hed a repuIalion for warm and compa ionate under tanding of boy', their difficultie and a piration , combined ""ith a trict but friendly control. The tandard he instilled into her ward were high ,nd her expectation rarely unreali ed. The affection and re peel he in 'pi red in both taff and pupil proved a la ting te timony to her firm but ~ympathetic handling of an institution which came to be con idered by her boy a their" econd home". During their early period. M r. and Mr. legg formed a happy and fruitful a ociation with Ir. . Friedlander. M.P. " a prominent member of the School Committee. who eintere t. ability and influence had far-reaching. fa ourable effect on the chool' de tiny. For nearly 40 year he contributed to the school' ucce a a committee member, parent and generou friend. In particular hi as i tance in the purcha ing of the "Fair eat ground", now known a the Field, wa con iderable on the admini trative

·ide. while the legg' and their staff attended to the con equent financial commitments for many year. organi ing numerou fête., bridge-drive and other fund-rai ing cheme to meet the annual interest on the bond and to e tabli h a inking fund for the ultimate purchase and le elling off of the ground. Eventually this additional field became one of the most preciou a eL of our expanding choo!. A de cri pt ion of Lhe legg hou ehold \ ould not be complete without reference to FreddIe, the faithful family friend and retainer. He entered their er ice at the age of 13 and ha been with them ever ince, er ing them both \ ith loving care and devotion. Loyalty wa hi hall-mark. and he went about hi dutie with a quiet, una uming, methodical efficiency which to the di c('rning became strikinglyapparent despite hi relative unobtru ivene. '. Freddie became an in tituton in hi own right and endeared him elf to all with whom he came in contact. For many year Will and Luc Clegg bore the burden and heaL of Lhe period immediately prior to the time when, for many and vari d rea on ,the chool began to expand rapidly, becoming one of the leading school. in the ape. Without their toil and effort the foundation for ,uch future ucce would not have been laid. Although he did not share directly in thi ucce. Mr legg Jived to ce hi plan materiali e and to receive the appreciation and plaudits of those who recogni ed the value of hi work. Will Clegg erved Wynberg well: we \ ill remember him. Eric Ta ker.

®bitURl'!J MR. BILL BOWDEN Bill Bowden left hi imprint on two chool'. Queen's and Wynberg. and hi memory \ ill alway linger in the conversations and n:mini cences of hi pa t colleague and the Old Boy of both chool . He wa a man of many accompli. hment -an imaginati e and succe ful teacher, an out Landing athletic and cricket coa h. a brilliant peaker and raconteur. an energetic admini trator, an innovator who e keen intere t and encouragement often timulated many of his taIT to experiment with new idea. venture and technique. He had wider:lnging intere t outside the confine of cbool life, I! peciall in the art, drama, opera and ballet, a well a a keen in ight into many pha e, of port. After attending the local Preparator_ chool, he came up to Queen' College, where he matriculated in 1920. winning Lhe Bailey Bur ary. He graduated at Rhode Uni er it ollege and. in 19_-+. obtained a fir t-cla pa s in the Higher Diploma of Education. In January 1925 he wa appointed to the taff of hi old choo!. where he upheld its proud tradition. made the name or Queen' famou~ in the world of athletic, and proved to be an excellent teacher, particularly in mathematic. He will be long remembered at Queen's ollege for hi ervice both in the la room and on the field of port. In 1940 he obtained milit.lry lea e and soon wa erving in orth Africa with the 4th .A. Armoured ar Regiment. which had the di tinction of being seconded to the 7th Armoured Brigade ("Dc ert Rats"), the mo t colourful and famou of the Briti h brigade in the North African campaign. At the crucial battle of El Alamein it wa A Squadron of the 4th .A. rmoured ar, led by Major W. E. Bowden, econd-incommand of the regiment, that was the fir t to break through the enemy line and ub equently to play an important part in the tactic that evcnuall turned the tide again t Rommel. He wa mentioned in de patche three lime '. 'I a awarded the Military ro and. but for the fa t that :tll record were lo t whcn Tobruk feil. would al. 0 have recei cd the D .. 0., for which he had been recommended.

When the outh frican troop~ were \ ithdrawn from North Africa. Major Bowden. much again t his inclination. wa. appointed Director of Armoured Training at Kaffir kraal and at Potchef troom. Early in 1945 he managed to per ua de the authoritie that he wa uited to a more active part in the pro~e ution of the war and was immediately 'ent to Europe with a mi ion to trace mis ing outh African prisoner -of-war. After a year in England. Belgium. Fmnce and Germany he returned to South Africa. where he resumed hi interrupted teaching career. Mr. Bowden wa appointed Headma ter of Wynberg Boy' High chool in 1948, a po ition which he held until hi retirement in 1964. Hi impact on both the boy and the taff wa~ immediately e ident. He had an exceptonal talent for encouraging tho e \ ith whom he came in cont ..ct, under tanding their difficultie . giving cri pand wellinformed ad\ ice. creating confidence in t.he diffident and stimulating the self-a ured. Abo e all he had an innate kindlines . consideration and humanity in dealing with everyone. e pecially those who occupied humble positions During hi tenure at thi 'chool he conceived and guided many far-reaching . cheme . 'U h a the con tru tion of the wimming bath. the erection of the Memorial Pa ilion, Liniewood Hou e and eten 'ion to chool building. the inking of two bore hole. the financial planning behind the pre'ervation and upkeep of the chool field and the laying of three turf wicket. Il wa al. 0 during the Bowden era that there wa. a harp ri e in the enrolment and an exp~ n. ion of subject in the curriculum. Wynberg rose to the ~tatus of a really po~ erful choot. On the provincial administrative level Mr. Bowden enjoyed a high reputation, being a member of the W.P. School.' ricket nion Executive ommiltee, and wa for many year their repre entative on the W.P. ricket nion. It was mainly owing to hi effort that Wynberg Boy' High chool wa permitted lO enter the w.r. Men' econd League. thu gaining equal tatu with Diocc an College and Rondebo ch in the cricket world. Mr. Bowden oon reali cd that the chool building were too mall to cope with future expan 路ion. and arrangeu fur influential Provincial Councillor. particularly Norman Hen.hilwood and Catherinc Taylor. to vi'it the chool. in peet the building. and ce the overcrowded classroom. With their upport. and after a long. hard fight. he not only got the new buildings (including Littiewood Hou e) but also obtained the additional upper field. In 19 0 he encouraged the planning of the fir t tour ever embarked upon b a Wynberg choolleam. the 1 t . which travelled to the E:: tern Province and Border. Once fre h ground had been broken a ucce ion of tour in the ariou port followed. preading the choor name and enhancing its reputation. He was much intere ted in the cultural ide of school life, and during hi time many excellent play' were produced by the enior chool Dramatic ociety. A elo e liai on wa maintained with Mr. Lorie路. chool Orche tra, which was a blend of Senior and Junior chool pupil and Old Boy. He often championed the cau e of the le fortunate, and a i tcd in the attempted rehabilitation of tho e who had offended oeiety. He ~ ould help any eau e that he felt was de erving. He had an unwa ering loyalty to tho e who worked for him and to tho e he cared for. Broad in hi outlook. he wa devoid of smallne and meanne , and had an implicit faith in the hone.ty and integrity of hi fellow-men. He wa a port man in every en e of that term and attached more value to the ~pirit rather lhan the letter of the law of any game. He communicated thi ideal to both hi coaches and player. and hi reputation wa high in the many extra-mural port committee on which he cr ed. Perhap the mo t fitting and revealing evidence of Bill Bowden' worth and popularity wa the fact that on two ccasions the Old Boy' nion brought him down from Rhode ia to speak at the Old Boy' Dinner. Tho e who attended tho e function will remember the impact he made on his audience. and can te tify that as Jong a there are taff and Old Boys who were at Wynberg during hi time. so long will hi memory remain fre"h and undimmed.

Mr. Blackbeard i ited the church. in peeted the volume and asked that mo t enthu ia tic of Old Boy. Mr. Townley Johnson, to photograph several page. An extract from M r.

STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN UNION Chairman: K. 'utton. Secretary: A. Coltham. Treasurer: C. Montgomery. Our aims for 1975 were in lhe first place to eek to lead our fellow- tudent into a wholehearted acceptance of the Christian faith in God the Father, on and Holy Spirit. and then to aid and encouragt: them in the living oul of their faith a true di ciples of the Lord Je us Christ: and secondly to eek to deepen the piritual experience of profe ing Chri lians in the. chool through earne t study of the Word of God. The meeting held during the year were all arranged with the e aim in view and the re UIIS were very. ati. factory indeed. A drop in the average attendance was a bit disappointing, but was more than compensated for by the warm atmosphere and sincere spirit of the meetings. We now gather at both hort and long break on Tue days and Thur days, and would like to take thi opportunity of once more a uring you of a warm welcome in our mid t We enjoy addre e from a variety of peaker. on topic' touching all a pect of the Chri tian faith as it applies to the young person today. ome rea Ily out tanding film were shown during 1975, and tbe e screening enjoyed large attendance. We feel ure that the me age which they brougbt found a lodging place in many young heart. Ju t thi term we tarted "cell groups" which we hope will encourage more per onal Bible tudy. mali gTOUp di u and share their view on a pecific eetion of tbe Word. The group are following a cour e of tudy outlined in the Scripture Union' excellent book: "Following Chri t". The S.U. combined with the girl' school and held a camp at Froggy Pond which wa a great ucce . Another camp i lo be arranged for later thi term and we tru t that it will alo prove a time of bIe ing and piritual refre hment. Our thanks go to Mr. Matthew for the u e of hi cia room and to Mr. 81ackbeard for his intere t and co-operation in all our effort. Anton Coltbam.

DEBATING SOCIETY Mr. D. G. Watkins. Derrick Fine. Theodore Yach. COll1mittee: Brian JotTe, John Feiteion.

Presidel1l: Chairman: Secretary:

An excellent tart was made to 1975 and member hip cards were handed out at the early meetings. the total membership being approximately 70. However, thi number ha dwindled somewhat in the third term mainly due to an incon istent attendance by the day boys. There has been very loyal support from tbe boarder throughout the year and they certainly set a fine example in tbis re peet. Learning bow to address an audience i extremely important, and the Debating Society endeavours to provide boys with fhi opportunity. Taking this into account, it is amazing that thi ociety i apathetically rejected by so many in the school community! In order to involve all members in our activitie we have held a large number of internal meeting. Formal debate, forum discus ion and off-the-cuff peaking e ion have been held. The e have included a tandard Six Debate and further New Speaker' Debates. A vital aspect in any debate is the contribution one receive from the floor. In encouraging boy to join the Debating Society we have alway said: "When speaking it doesn't matter if you tutter or repeat something-we are all human and capable of making error ". It ba been extremely rewarding to note that more and more pupils are tanding up and speaking. Our external activitie have been quite varied in nature. A panel con i ting of Brian Joffee, John Feite! on. Theo Yach, Michael Lewi and Derrick Fine took part in the Inter chool Forum Di cu ion Competition, held at the Wynberg Girls' School. We were beaten into third place in the ix- chool contest. Three very uccessful debate were held against Springfield Convent, Ellerslie Girls' High and Cape Town High. Just-a-minute e ions were held after these meetings and were enjoyed by all. There wa ,for ome reason, a harp ri e in attendance for the above-mentioned meetIng, particularly the first two. The following repre ented the school in tbe edebates: Theodore Yach, Brian Joffee, John Feiteion. Greg Bing. Andrew Hubbard, Neil Hinricbson, Owen Roger and Derrick Fine. A Masters-School Debate wa beid in the third term. Tbe topic under di ::us ion was: "The youth of today i superior to the youth of ye terday". The taff team. con i ting of Me r. Tasker, Bro ter and Harri , narrowly defeated the school team. compri ing John Feiteion, Theo Yach and Derrick Fine, who propo ed the motion. AI 0 scheduled for the remainder of 1975 are the Annual Old Boys' Debate, a Be t peaker' Debate and at lea t two further meeting with other cbool. The committee would like to thank Mr. Watkins for hi most enthu iastic support and advice. incere tbank to Mr. Connellan for the loan of his lecture theatre and to Mr. Blackbeard for hi intere t and co-operation. We are alo grateful to Mr. Parkin and the otber ma ter wbo attended our meeting on occasions. Thank also to Mr. Broeker and "his team" for organising chair and table when nece ary. and to the boarding hou e for providing coffee. Finally we would like to thank all tho e who supported the Debating Society during 1975 and we tru t that you found it to be a rewarding experience. Derrick Fine.

'Tho e wbo tried to create theory out of facts never understood that it was only theory that could con titute them as fact in the fir t place" (Gareth Stedman Jones, 1972).

A Hi torical Society wa founded for the first time this year. Mo t of tbe hi tory pupils ha e shown interest in this cultural activity and therefore it has proved to be an enormou success. Films were hired in order to increase interest in history. Most of the titles were relevant to lhc! various syllabi and thu enhanced both the subject and the di cipline of hi tory. The film hown included "From Kai er to Fuehrer", "Mus olini", "From Tsar to Stalin". "Over There' (a film on the Fir t World War), "Ben Gurion" and a documentary on the pani h Civil War. The erie which proved the mo t succe ful reviewed the J 960 American Pre idential Campaign. ln the first quarter the schoor hi tory cia es visited Parliament on succes ive Wedne day afternoons and an insight into the intricacie of Parliament was gained. A veteran of the 1915 South African campaign came to talk to the Matric and spoke intere tingly about hi experience and condition under which the campaign wa fought. Eight pupil and Me r. Baxter and Greenwood trekked to the Cedarberg for a weekend in April. Bushmen painting, Voortrekker waggons and old huts were studied. The party then hiked down to tbe Winkelhart Ri er in tbe canyon below. Jt was enjoyed by all and it i hoped that more excur ion of this nature will take place. Excur ion and di cu sions of this nature certainly prove more beneficial than t.he ometime unreali tic clas room situation. I am ure that the Hi torical ociety will continue to function as an important organ of the cultural activitie of W.B.H .. next year. I.B.F.

CHESS CLUB At the beginning of the year Mr. van Vuuren took over a master in charge from Mr. Frauenknecht. Over 30 boy took p:lrt in thi year' chool champion hip. which wa won for the third year running by A. Blencowc. However, member hip and interest dropped off a the year proceeded and \ e were able to field only two teams in the School' Ches League. The fir t team wa extremelv erratic. After winning our fir t two matche again t Jan van Riebeeck B (8-2) and' Rondebo ch C (9-1). we rather di appointingly drew against S.A.C.S. B (5-5). This wa followed by our fir t defeat of the ea on by Rondebo ch A (4-6). but we inflicted the only defeat on the eventual winner of tbe ection, We terford A (6--4). Tbi wa the fir t time a Wynberg team had managed to defeat We terford A. We narrowly beat Pineland A (6-4). and tben, playing very poorly, went down to .A... (4-6). Thi probably de troyed all chances we had of qualifying for the Cbampion 'hip ection. [n the la t match of the qualifying section we defeated Groote chuur comfortabl by 8 points to 2. We ended up fourth in our ection and 0 failed to qualify for the champion hip by 2 points. In lhe econd term we defeated the powerful Ri hops A team (6-4), but then went down to ape Town High B team (3-7). The econd team wa very weak!.hi year and came la t in their qualifying ection. The fir I team, in board order, i A. Blencowe, J. Feiteion, Leon Gold tein, M. Wheeler and A. Marx. Our thanks go to Mr. van uuren for hi inlere t. A. Blencowe. 21

SCHOOL

LIBRARY

During this year we tried to achieve the main aim of the library, which i the integration of the knowledge a ailable in the library with that of other ubjects taught in the choo!. It i heartening to ee that the library i put to full u e (io some subjects) for reference and re earch. I feel, however, that tbi could be extended to most if not all ubject. In tandards 6, 7 and 8 a tart" as made tbi year with book: education. Although thi wa not very popular with the boy, it is a mean of teaching them to help them.el es to find the information they need. The new book purcha ed were weil received. Il is good to ee that a large number of the book taken out were non-fiction. An innovation tbi year wa the library' ub cription to two daily new paper -the e are avidly read. Two new di play board have helped to make the library more intere ting. ome of the di play were done by the boy them elve . Finally, a word of thank to tbe library prefect. Although there j' not much pre tige attached to thi ervice, they were neverthel prepared to help. I hope that in the future more enior boy will maJ...ethem el e available for thi . (Mr .)

SAILING Wynberg ha once again been well rcpre ented in the variou ailing events of 1975 and has carried off mo t of the prizes. In the Western Province Dabchick hampion hip, ailed in very trong winds at Zandvlei. our Greg Davi in hi beautiful boat-which wa actually built a a woodwork project here at the .chool ailed away from a fleet of 30 boat and won handomely with Michael Vulliamy coming in si.xth. He did a repeat performance at wart lei during the Eastern Province championhip and wa followed over the line by his brother. Michael, who gained a very creditable econd place. Next came the National at Hartebeespoorl Dam, and our ailor went north to meet the be t competition which the R .. A. could produce. Once more they gave a very good account of them elve to gain econd place (M. ulliamy) and eighth place (G. Da i ). The e place were gained in a fleet of over 63 boat! In the larger Extra la we have also had a good ea on. The Fro tbite Regatta at Zandvlei wa won b G. Da i with Clifford Olivier coming in ixth in a fleet of ome 24 boats.The National Champion hp for thi class were sailed in Fal e Bay in conditions varying from ery trong wind to light air. In a fleet of over 50 boats Leslie John ton came home ninth! Well done! Michael Vulliamy ha ju t returned from Scotland, where he and J. Bongers (an ex-R.B.H.S. pupil) took part in the 1.Y.R.U. World Youth Champion hip at Larg . The ix races were sailed in 420' and our boy did very well to fini h eventh overall in the fleet of 23 boat repre enting a. many countrie . We look forward to the two interchool regatta coming up oon. We have the material to win both the c event, provided our ailor find enough clean wind and clear water to how their pace. D. Meyer. 25

THE INTER-SCHOOL

REGATTA

The Annual Inter-School event i a gala day and one of the mQ t popular occa ion in the ,ailing calendar. Thi year no fewer than 95 boats, entered by 32 teams from 72 school . took part. The favourites were the trophy defender. Rondebo ch. with ti e teams in the race. S.A.C.S. and We terford, with three team each, al 0 repre ented a force to be reckoned with. including, a they did. one or two of the top skippers sailing to-day. None of the e factor affected our morale and a trong pirit of optimi m prevailed on the preceding Friday afternoon when we sailed off a series of trial to decide position in the 1st and 2nd team. We all agreed that, on paper, we had the winning team-the only problem wa that no paper large enough could be found and the race would be ailed on the wide, windy and wet expan e of Zeekoevlei ! On race day we were able to muster five team. With many novices taking part the starter had a fru trating time trying to get the 90-odd boat over the line together. but Geoff Myburgh handled it with his usual efficiency, and after two recall managed to get the fleet away in one of the be t start we've een in thi event. There was. in fact, not a single prote t after the race which involved an incident at the tart. Our I t team. con isting of Michael Vulliamy, Greg Davis and Mark Gibbon. got off to a good tart and immediately began pulling clear of the melee of tacking boats making their way up to the windward mark. Vulliamy wa first round the mark with Davi clo e behind. but as they turned to run downwind it was Davis who took over the lead. Gibbons came round in about ninth po ition at this stage. There was till a long way to go, but the e dozen or 0 boat would retain their position ahead of the main body of the fleet for lhe re. t of lhe race. Davi and Vulliamy were in the lead throughout, and although racing as a team did not pull any punches in their individual tu. le for line honour. Unfortunately. Davi touched another competitor a lhey were rounding lhe econd la t mark and wa obliged lo make a 720' turn about himself before conlinuing. This dropped him back ome four place and he wa only able to fini h fifth. But for thi we would have definitely got fir tand econd place. Nonethele ,Mark Gibbon wa well up in upport, having overtaken a few boat, and our 1st team won the coveted team prize, with individual placing a follows: I t. M. Vulliamy: 5th, G. Davi : 7th, M. Gibbon. Our 2nd team fini hed in fourth po ition with the other three team weU spread out among the remaining positions. WESTERN

CADET BAND Once again the Cadet Band ha had a very bu y year. We lost a number of members at the end of 1974 and had to find replacements for even bugler. three trumpeters and four drummer and the drum-mHjor-more than half the band, in fHct. In addition to training all the e new recruit we had a full programme of public appearance to complete. During the fir t term the band played for the tellen bosch Univer ity Rag. We also had lhe honour of playing for the Cape Field Artillery at the parade marking the opening of the Cape Town Fe tival. Thi meant leading a parade which included all the regiment with the Freedom of the City. The band al.o played for variou film premieres-which helped to well the band fund. In view of the large number of new member we had doubt about our chances for the W.P. Command adet Competition. Howe er. from the tart of the third term we began a period of inlen ive practice before school. during break and after chool under the expert guidance of Maj Goode. We held a camp at the Wynberg Commando H.Q. during the week-end before the competition and the result of all thi effort were clearly demon trilled at Goodwood. Our band wa by far the best of tho e competing -a profe ional 'ound compared with amateur. Re uit obtained ~ ere: First. overall; M.. du Toit Trophy for the best music played: Andre Crou was the be tide-drummer: Ali tair Walker the be t ba' -drummer; Deon Joubert econd in the 010 trumpet competition; tephen Fay econd in the 010 bugling: Paul Tate and Chri topher Ander on econd in the competition for tenordrummer ; Derek Fay third in the competition for drum-major. Many people contributed to our ucce . Fir tly, the boys who gave up so many break and 0 much of their free time after choot. Then the parent who pent a great deal of time preparing uniform. helping with tran port, lending their upport and egging on tardy choolmaster . We very much appreciate the effort of Maj. Goode. who was re ponsible for the high tandard reached with the mu ic and eemed more nervou than anyone el e on the d3y of the competition. Thank al 0 to Sgt.-Maj. Coon of Young field for his intere t and effort in improving the tandard of our drill. We 3re aJ 0 very grateful to Cmdt. Heunis of Wynberg Comm3ndo for allowing the u e of bis facilities for our camp and also to the Pri ons Department for their parade ground. A' always. the achievement of the band were the re uIt of the effort of a very big team.

FROM STANDARD

6 TO 10 IN FIVE EASY STAGES

T remember well the day they came to Standard ix. to reap the fame of learning in a chool so proud, they felt that they must shout aloud How really hard they would endeavour to make their work and port a plea. ure. And into tandard Seven they went till infused with enthu ia tic bent to show the wonder they could do with Maths and cience and Commerce but lowly as the year went by the flame of ardour were to die.

too,

"All thi homework wa rather 'illy. could make a chap a screaming Willie. Rather relax and the teacher bluff. before the exam i time enough to quickly wot a thing or two ju ot a long a we crape through." At this point they made their blunder. their thinking proce s rent a under. and on the day they were to write could not distinguish Idt from right. Their little addlepated brain were choked and clogged like dirty drain ome went on 10 Standard Eight but others remained. so ad to relate. in tandard even. A horrible thought: "Wc could have got through with a little more Tho e who were lucky to make their passe began playing around like proverbial a e. tandard Eight they went through on the run. "Much le work now, much more fun is our idea how chool hould begay and happy and ea y and free. Our teachers' plea to work and to toilit's enough to make a fellow boil." Now that they are one year older and daily growing ery much bolder"We've now reached tandard Nine for ure and a grown-up pupils are very mature. Revise, rcvi e i a lot of piffle, our ma ters talk uch meaningle drivel.

\ ot."

So all year long they talked like men. how hard they'd work in Standard Ten, little knowing what fate had in tore that many would be in nine one year more. Ti very true that ome craped through by the Grace of God and the Headma ter too. Jn a very h0rt space the time will arrive to achieve the goal for which they must trive. A pas in Matric should be their aim, but they're acting till. like the blind and the lame. Revi ing and working a linie can be in their first term in Ten they're all quite at ea. Even the Prefects, 0 mart and efficient. are acting as they were mentally deficient. Those of our enior who don't eem to worry come the end of the year they are going to feel sorry they blocked up their ears to that real freaked-out lot the ma ter. the teacher. the poor misled clot. ow at long la. t they've all een the light and are triving to pa with main and with might. Gone are the thought that work 0 meticulou wa carrying thing from ublime to ridiculou . and each is at work with a consuming pas ion as if it were something that was going out of fashion. The year have come and gone. alas. and I mu t admit I taught thi cia . The amount they have learned in the en uing year i omething each blighter now jolly well fears. Neverthele ,I've enjoyed them. you ee, that happy-go-lucky mob in 10 . "Shorty".

Men e wat ek nooit sal vergeet nie is dié wat ek in my koollewe ontmoet het. 'ommige het ek twaalf jaar geken en ander net ses maande. Mnr.

Sy eerste en y laaste woorde aan my wa "Buk!" Nog 'n onderwyer wat ek baie goed kan onthou. is mnr. H ... R ... Onder dié man wa on klas e di ipline die wak te ooit. Dié van ons wat in die agter te banke gesit het, het om onder die banke op die vloer ge it en ons toebroodjie geëet. Ander het net ge laap. oudat ek vir nog 'n jaar in die kool is, het ek baie tyd om oor my ou klasmaats te dink. Een aan wie ek baie dink. i "Clarenee" Kirkwood. Hy wa een van die naaksste eun wat ek ooit geken het. Alhoewel hy 'n bietjie van 'n lafaard was, bet hy 'y eie wil gehad. A hy iet wou ê, het hy dit gesê. Hy het daarvan gehou om 'n hoed te dra en hy het een gedra, alhoewel baie eun hom geterg het. Daar i baie ander onderwyer wat ek nog goed kan onthou.

DIE INVLOED

VAN

lOA.

KOERANTE

Men e i baie eienaardig, hulle bou baie daarvan om te glo wat hulle lees. As hulle iet vantevore iewer gelees het. glo hulle dit. Baie men e lee die daaglik e koerante om uit te vind wat die jong te nuu oor ekere men e i of om uit te ind wat in die w锚reld van die politiek aangaan.

Men e weel nie of dil waar is of nie en moel du maar alles glo. Soms i die artikel nel 0 hier en daar verkeerd, maar baie keer word daar baie on in geskryf. Partykeer lees on een slorie in 'n Engel e koerant en 'n ander slorie in 'n Afrikaanse koerant, maar eintlik wa dit die elfde torie. Die krywer van die artikels het baie invloed op die mense en on word baie mi lei. Die koerante kan du 'n goeie of 'n 'Iegle invloed op die mense hĂŞ. Daar is 'n groot verskil tu en die Engel e en Afrikaan e koerante en over a wat ek kan oordeel, is die Afrikaan e koerante baie meer akkuraat a die Engelse koerante. Nou kry die ver, killc!nde mense twee verskillende tories. Die Engel e men e kry 'n groot opgeblaa de "torie Olel die krywer e eie gevoelen en die Engel e glo dit en tem aam met die koerdnt alhoewel dil om 'n klomp gemor i. Aan die ander kant kry die Afrikaan e mense die waarheid en hulle weet baie keer wat eintlik aangaan. Die probleem is nie net hier in ons land nie, maar ook oor ce waar die Kommuniste 'n groot te klomp twak oor uid-Afrika kryf. HuUe vertel almal van die groot probleem wat on het. wat nie heeltemal waar i nie, instede van na hulle eie land te kyk en daar tc sicn wat 'n groot gemor hulle in i . Engeland kinder die hele tyd van ons, maar hulle hel self ulke groot probleme. Die grootste probleem i die koerante wat vol storie is en die men e die verkeerde informa ie gee en 'n heeltemal verkeerde voor,telling aan die men e gee. Koerante het 'n groot invloed op men e. maar dit word ongelukkig misbruik. T. BrUmmer,

OUR STREET

At one time or other you mu t have walked pa tour treet on your way to alle. from work, giving it ju t a glance or perhap .. not even eeing it. It i di tingui hed by the thick J'ed pole, wilh chain running through them, which tand guarding the entrance of our cul-de- ac and of which, I might add, 1 am very proud. The road itself i like a black footprint with two houses on either side and one at the front. The five hou e are all the .ame, although ome are in war. e condition than other. They all have rusty iron roof which cover four cracking, whitewa hed wall. They al a have mall" toep" on which each family gather al du k ju t before uppertime. "Oupa" Fatima' grandfather, always sits on their" toep" from early in the morning to late in the evening. ometimes I go over with Fatima and we li ten to his torie. The stories go lowly. ow and then he pau e to light his old black pipe and then, with the blue haze hanging in the air, he again half CIa e hi milky eyes and continue. Fatima's father i a tbin man who i u ually out of the hou.e: her mother i big and round and very kind. Sbe alohas four brothers and lWO i ters whom we hardlyever lice. The other people in the treet are my teriou characters who exist but are nol import:.!nt and ju t drift around, not affecting me at all. So it's ju t Fatima and I wbo play in our street the whole day long and ometime , when we can get a cent or two, go down to Abdulla' Ca h Store where we pend hal[ an hour or so deciding whal lo buy. We don't notice the lime becau e of Ihe crowd and the thumping of the jukebox and the clacking noi e' of the pinball machine in Ihe one corner, with it multicoloured winking lighl. Laler, aftel we have strolled back [rom Ihe hop afler enjoying our Iwo cent' worth of jelly babie , and we reach Fatima's hou e. her molher come running out to ",cold her for not coming in for upper. This i exactly whal happened today. So, now I am alone, ju t me, but I don't mind. On the pavemenl where] am itting I can ju t ee the sun peeking over the ru ty roof. The cemenl i till warm again t my leg and in the gutter my toes are playing hide and eck in the and. In a hazy dream I don', even hear the older boy' scream of laughter a they play. occer in the streel. All I can feel i the warm un and the sand between my toe, A. du Pie is, IOC.

CAN BE COSTLY

The ea murmured oftly. occa ionally a small wave would build up and roU in till it hit the rocky base of the ligbthouse where it would separate then carry on till it hit the hore where it di olved into ripple. The man lifted his head and groped for hi watch. He squinted at the time and grunted, for he wa late again. He stretched and reached for hi trou er and stood up, and after putting them on walked out onto the rocky outcrop. The cold mist swirled round him, making him hiver. He tood watching the cold grey sea, but a flash caught hi eye and reminded him of hi duty. Turning, he made for the door and started climbing the circular tairway leading up to the top of tbe lightbou e. He breathed heavil., his body wa unu ed to exercise. Cursing the stairs, he reached the top and paused to take breath, then opening the control box he urveyed the array of witches.

Fir t he turned off the main switch and then the tran former. At once the beam faded. leaving only a faint glow which lowly di appeared. He ighed 路and looked out over lhe CApan e of water. To his right. far in the distance, was the little fishing village from whi~h he came. Seeing the fi hing fleet put to ea, he longed to be with them, but someone h:ld to tay and switch the light on every night. When old MacPher on. the previous lighthl'lI ekeeper, had died a my terious death la t year, no one had wanted to take over the duty. So in the end they had to draw lots for local fishermen to do one month stint at the lighthou e. He had unfortunately been chosen for this month. For the first few days it had been enjoyable getting up late in the morning and generally lazing around. but now it was no joy. He wa bored and longed for someone to talk to. He . ighed again and thought for a few moment and then, hi mind made up, he strode determinedly down the tairs. On reaching bis room he picked up a few things he would need. and after he had locked the big door, started out on the twenty-mile trek round the bay to the village. He walked lightheartedly, cheerful at the thought of eeing his friends again and smiled at the thought of that cold beer he wa going to have. The terrain was rocky and made heavy going and he began panting. He flopped down under a tree and lay there exhau ted. He cursed his foolishne s in wearing his heavy gumboots but he wa not going to go back now. He pre ed on and passed a few hepherd along the road and wished them good day. He reached the village about middayand at once headed for the local tavern where he fini hed off a few beer. Feeling refreshed, he headed for the harbour where he aw Tom, a friend of hi who had cru hed his foot and so could not be out with the fleet. He at down next to him on the pile of fi hing net. Tom looked up from the piece of net he was repairing aod gave a grunt of recognition. "What are you doing here?" he asked, surpri ed at eeing him. '路Oh. I wa bored there; there wa nothing to do all day 0 1 popped in to ee my friends." "You had better be back there by this evening, hadn't you?" "Yes. 1 uppose so," he replied, but at that moment he could not care what he did. He tayed there all afternoon helping Tom, who wa getting more and more womed. He kept reminding him that he ought to be starting back, but then the fi hing neet came in and tarted off-loading their haul of fi h. After this they all trooped off to the tavern and so it was not until even 0 'clock that one of the captain of the fleet shoved him out of the door and told him in no uncertain words to get going, which he did very un teadily. Singing to him elf, he made his way along the path which was only half illuminated by the rising moon. Then tbe ea mist came swirling in till he could see almost nothing. He obered up immediately wben he heard the sound of a foghorn clo e by. Probably tbat large trawler he had seen earlier on, he thought. Then a paralysing thought truck him, the light wa not on and 0 the kipper of the trawler would a ume he had pa ed the lighthou e long ago and would probably wing round into the shore. He tarted running, tumbling over un een rock, gasping for air. He truggled on but his unfit body could not take it; be topped and ripped off his gum-boots and, casting them aside, ran on. His feet were soon cut to ribbon but he kept on running. "Only a little way now," he thought a the sound of the foghorn came to his ears. Then his heart, unable to take the train, gave a jerk and stopped. He huddered and collap ed and lay tilJ. The foghorn sounded again as the eagulls wheeled over as if to warn the trawler of its danger. "A bad night, tonight." aid the captain to hi mate as he swung the wheel over. P. King, 98.

MY EERSTE AFSPRAAK

MET 'N MEISIE

Dit wa in hierdie jaar toe ek eintlik vir die heel eer te keer 'n meisie gevra het om saam met my uit te gaan, Ek wa al voorheen met mei ies uit, maar dit wa altyd 'n gl!val van " ien jou daar", dan ien jy miskien die meisie binne in 'n bioskoop waar die itplekke nie be preek is nie, y het natuurlik haar eie baartjie al klaar gekoop, maar hierdie keer was dit anders. Dit was 'n semi-formele funksie in 'n saal in Nuweland, Daar ou ete voorberei wees, on, tafel was bespreek en daar was 'n orkes odat die men e kon dan, Wel, vir 'n geleentheid soo hierdie wil 'n men natuurlik jou beste klere aantrek om netjie te lyk, Ek het 'n nuwe hemp gekoop om by my broek te pa , maar ek moe 'n baadjie van een vriend leen en 'n da van die ander om alle bypa end te maak, Die aand het eindelik aangebreek en 'n vriend wat ook na die dan gegaan hel. het eers vir my kom haal en toe het on die mei ie gaan baal. By die aal was daar 'n heerlike ete van koue vlei en laai, Ek het 'n paar baie aangename dan e gehad met die mei ie nel na die ete, maar ongelukkig het die kroeg ook net na die ete oopgemaak, Na 'n kort rukkie het daar 'n woesle geveg onder die men e uitgebreek en toe dit na die dan vloer geprei hel. het ons gaan sit. Meer en meer man het betrokke geraak by die geveg, want almal wou hulle maats gaan help en toe ek sien dat twee mans my vriend bydam, wou ek vir hom gaan help, maar die ligte het kielik doodgegaan en iemand het my 'n y like hou oor die kop geslaan met 'n bottel. Ek het die volgende oggend in my vriend e kamer wakker geskrik, Hy bet my na y hui toe gebring, want hy bet dadelik padgegee toe die poli ie opdaag, Toe ek hom vra an die meisie, het hy my ertel dat hy koon vergeel het van haar en haar net daar gelos het. Ek het toe vir haar gebel om te probeer om ver koning te ra, maar sy wou niks weet nie en na drie maande praat y nog teeds nie met my nie, Dit i glad nie 'n eer te af praak wat ek of enigiemand sal wil onthou nie, M, Punt, 9C.

Ek het gedink dat die geluid van een van die ven ter gekom het. en ek wa' reg. Toe ek deur die kombuis e deur gekruip hel. het ek 'n man deur die ven ter sien klim. Vinnig het ek by die kombuis uitgehardloop en agter die deur gestaan. Eer het die man in die kombuis rondgeloop en toe het hy na die deur gekom.

THE MAN

Having packed the last of the groceries into the deli cry an, I climbed in and directed the van toward the a ylum on top of Teube Hill. Thi wa a converted doublestorey hou e, almo t a man ion, where very rich and important people were admitted as patients. The co t wa high, and it wa relativelyempty. After delivering the grocerie at the kitchen door, I leaned back again t the van and lit up a cigarette. A faint bi ing ound came to my ear. I turned and sawa man beckoning to me from a heavily barred window. I peered through the bar and saw a di~tingui hed-Iooking man of about fifty, with a clipped grey mou tache. He wore an impeccable brown Harri tweed suit. Hi whole manner poke of wealth, but hi hands were coarse and hard and his face wa cracked by the un, "Could I have a cigarette?" he a ked. A T ga e him one J noticed a tattoo on his hand. He followed my gaze and aid, "Thi i n't my hand, you know." I looked at him, I wanted to leave, but again he spoke: "Thi isn't my body. lt i the body of a ai lor. I am not mad like all the other, a you are probably thinking." He proceeded to tell me how he had been a wealthy tockbroker, happily married. Then one day hi tepbrother arrived at hi office. He wa a junior officer in the navy, and 'Was alway borrowing money. When he had rdu ed him, the stepbrother went on to tell about hi travels. He had been to India, he aid. and a giTI there had hown him an old ecret of ber ance tor. By saying a few word over a cloud of moke. two people' bodie were changed for a long as they wanted. 38

"At first I didn't believe him, but while we were peaking he lit an incense stick and said some tr::mge word. Our bodies immediatel changed and he ordered me out of m own office. My body had become his, and I aw a mirror-image of my elf in him. I prote ted and people thougbt I was mad. They ju t wouldn't believe my tory. My lrpbrother had me put in here and h'~s paid for me for the la t five years:' I tared at him. "Come here:' he aid, "and ril tell you the words. He inhaled from his cigarette as I leaned closer. Suddenly he blew the smoke out and creamed ollle fOI eign words. There was a whirl of moke and 1 found my elf sitting in a Harri tweed l>uit. I looked at my hand. They were worn and gnarled. J heard my van lart up and drive away. B. Barichievy, BC.

NIGERIA Nigeria i being neglected more and more. Conditions are terrible. disease is common and death is commonplace. The treet in Lagos. the capital, are lined with open drain with slab of concrete over them a footpaths. The e drains are always dirty. never cleaned. At the bottom i a ma of old di ea e-ridden excreta which i~ added to every day. The poor Africans who live by the e drain lowly die and then :Ire ju t pu hed into the drain by their familie to rot. M illions of beggars come to Lagos each day to try to find a few piece of bread or money. Mother chop the leg off their babies 0 that they can beg for money. They hope the white population will take pity on them for having only one leg. Traffic is another great problem. Nigerian driver are almo t, if not, the worst in the world. There is only one et of traffic light in the whole of Nigeria, and they seldom work. The favourite car i the Kombi. The care pecially made for Lago and have bencbe down the side. The e are made to carry a maximum of twelve people. But it i quite normal to ee eighteen to twenty people clutching onto one. The e in Nigeria are called "Mammy Wagon '. All over the country there are remnants of old cars and lorries ma hed beyond repair and ju t left to ru t. When my family and ] were travelling down from the north back to Lagos. we aw an old sma hed up "Mammy Wagon" which had painted on the side, "SAFE JOURNEY"!

THE HIGHWAYMAN Colonel Michael Browning. retired from Her Maje ty' Indian Army. had come back to England to ettle down and tart hi writing. The Colonel was a big man. He was over six feet tall, had very broad houlders and wa known for hi courage in the face of danger. Michael Browning and his wife decided to settle down in the small village of Braemore in the very north of Scotland. The family bougbt a comfortable little house on the outskirts of the village. The two mall children loved it there and tbc Browning' bullterrier earned quite a reputation in the village. Soon the Colonel began writing. He decided to write on the my terie and legend of the village. The tory that had intere ted him most was about a highwayman who had terrorised the village for a long time until eventuallyall the villager came together to go out and look for the highwayman. who was finally caught and hanged out ide the town. A tatue of the highwayman wa erected in the village square and the "locals" wore that once a year. on the 8th eptember. the highwayman came alive and vent hi revenge on anyone or anything ncarby. The Colonel didn't believe thi tory and wa determined to prove bim elf right. A few day before the 8th, Mr. Browning took the children down to Edinburgh to ce their grandmother, intending to return a week later. On that evening everybody in the little village locked their door and didn't go out ide, but Michael Browning set out from his hou e in the direction of the town quare. leaving the bull-terrier behind to guard the hou e. The narrow treet were de erted and the moon ca t eerie shadows on the road. M ichael Browning whi tied a he walked along the road. The town quare was moonlit and when the Colonel arrived there he broke into a cold weat and hi heart began to beat fa ter a he gazed in horror at the empty quare. The granite tatue of the highwayman riding his hor e had gone! He stared a econd longer and then turned round and ran for hi life. A he turned a corner he bumped into a large man. "Hey! What' this? Why are you in uch a hurry?" The oio nel breathed a sigh of relief. It wa tbe con table on hi. beat. The Colonel got hi breath back and told the con table everything. "All right," the con table murmured, â&#x20AC;˘ we,)1 go and have another look." "0 ... do you think we houid?" "Certainly."

HE CAME

FROM OUTER SPACE

My name is Kinaarn Dawlings from the planet Ztold. J wi h to tell you of a strange occurrence wbich happened to me :l few Triang ago. It all h:lppened down in the Quail. The Quail i a beautiful little town about 7 par from my home. It i about 3 ver ts long and has about 30 million inhabitant. It i small compared with our capital city. Gwil, which i 13 par long and ha about 15 billion citizens. The Quail i unique as normally there are two or three town with one name wherea the Quail is tbe only town with that name. It i surrounded by Rizl trees and there i a mall liquid helium lake just out of town. The centre of attraction in the town i a large observatory where I work. The ob ervatory is not only for visual discovery but we also have powerful radios, an infra-red detector and mind-reading equipment. Our observatory is quite famou through the 18 planets of Drogque. We have discovered many distant galaxie, and ince we have developed mind-reading beams we have discovered many planet in tho e galaxies. Some of their names are Flup, Gaf, Earth, Mlimam and J ie. Tbe planets we discovered are inhabited by impie creatures, the mo t advanced being on J ie. The incident I wi h to tell you about happened lhe ame day a we di covered Earth, which makes it even more trange. I was walking next lo the helium lake, as I of ten do, when I heard a strange sound just out ide the R izl wood. 1 ran to inve tigate. A few pleggs later T cleared the wood and the sight that confronted me was incredible. A strange craft was descending. It was long and tapered and looked like a rocket of 500 or 600 yiequ :lgo. When it finally ettled and the du t had cleared, trange projections folded out of the ides. A side of the craft folded out and a trange white creature with weird dials and knobs on it clambered awkwardly do~ n the projection. Jl had a hiny surface placed in the front of a roundi h object on top of its frame. Wben it reached the bottom il tood on the ground and pulled out a box-like structure with a bit of wire sticking out of it. The creature pointed the wire at me and pre 'sed a button on the box. I thought that my time wa up. M y body would be found where r now stood. L heard a faint buzzing sound, but nothing happened. The creature turned around and climbed into his craft again. I was left wondering. I wa still in a daze when another creature appeared in the opening. He looked like an ordinary Ztoldian. He climbed, rather le awkwardly, down the projection. He said, "Greetings, I don't suppo e you understand English, but my name is Neil Armstrong."' HA strange name. to be ure."' L replied, "and I'm Kimlarn Dawling . Welcome to planet Ztold."' "Hey," he yelled, "am I hearin' right, or did you peak Engli h?" "Of cour e T poke English, did you think J poke J i?" "Well," he said, 'Tm from Earth .. .". 'Thi' i fanta tic," I yelled. "Ju t two or three zonk ago we di covered Earth That wa our fir t meeting. and a triang later his crafl lifted. noisily and du lily. This is all I have to teil. lt is the complete story of the Man from Earth, the Man from Outer Space. M. Morris, 68.

U.19A

Summary of 1st XV Games vs. KEAR EY lwon 19 ): Wynberg tarted on a high note by gaining a comfortable and de er ed victory over thi learn from a tal.

The 1975 LJ.19A team wa not a particularly talented team but the player alway tried ver hard. De pite losing eight game out of the 21 played, no ide gained an ea y victory over Wynberg. All team ~ ere made to play hard right to the end.

V'. JA VA RLEBEECK lwon 52-7): Jan van I{iebeeck, a chool with a proud rugby tradition, were 0 erwhelmed by a hard-runnmg Wynberg team who e victory wa made ea ier by the indifferent tackling of the oppo ition.

A well-known coach ha been quoted a ~aying "the only failure at rugby i to top trying". and in this re pect our 1st XV was a team that really battled again t often heavier and more talented opponents, and left us feeling proud of them, even in defeat.

v . RONDEBO CH (lost 8-10): A magnificent di play by the Rondebo ch forward paved the way for their narrow ictory. Wynberg could easily ha e beaten their formidable opponents. 'coring two trie to one, but unfortunately cveral relatively ea y kicks were mi ed.

The forwards gave consistent I good display and improved a the ea on progre sed. De pite being light and without much height, their crumming wa~ ery eldom bettered. the lineout play wa sound and tbeir driving in the tight-Iuose was uften of a high standard. Support m open play wa . however. not a good a it hould have been.

v . ST. GEORGE' , ali bury (won 2 12): De 'pile coring five trie to none, tbi wa not a completely atisf::!ctory victory. Our forward were made to look very ordinary, and in fact they learnt a great deal regarding erumming technique from t. eorge'.

The back' improved toward the end of the sea on de. pite lack ing real pace and ability to penetrat.e. The team wa very and Paul Slackbeard. M ill . The pirit wa were keen. con idered Wynberg. and they upport to the coach

v. . . . . (drew 13-13): Wynberg were leading 13-6 until the la I quarter, but S.A. .S. played ery well at the end and probably de erved the draw in a ery evenly contested game.

well led by Mark Prey 'er supported by tephen extremely good. The boys it an honour to rep re ent gave their wholehearted and the rugby committee.

v路.1. G. MEIRING (won 13-0): Thi was a relativel poor performance by Wynberg. who allowed themselves to be rattled by ome hard and robu t pla .

pecial mention mu t be made of the spirit of co-operation exi ting between the A's and S路s. Thi wa entirely due to the lead given by Mr. Fourie and the leader. of the B team. My incere thanks go to Mr. Fourie, completely unselfi h and dedicated, who made my job so much easier and more plea ant with hi upport. co-operation and much- alued advice.

v. T. JO EPH' (won 29-6): A good en'ort by Wynberg in a very pleasant game . aw them run out comfortable winners. S. PAUL ROOS (lo t 3-16): The core give a completely mi leading picture of the match again I the powerful Paul Roo team. Our side played very weIL indeed but everal small lap e in concentration accounted for the large core in an e enly conte ted game.

A mo t enjoyable tour of Rhode ia wa undertaken during the June holiday. Generou hospitality wa experienced and the boy made many friend and impre sed their ho t with their behaviour. Wynberg entered teams in both the Hamilton and Villager seven-a- ide chools' Rugby Competition and were beaten in the final in both competitions.

v . P ARL BOY' HIGH (lo t 0-10): With a weakened team Wynberg again put on an extremely creditable di play. T\l 0 defen i e bp e- immediately after half-time re u1ted in twu quick trie by Paarl, but thereafter Wynberg came trongly into the picture and were unlucky not to core at lea tonce.

A mo t enjoyable game wa played at the end of the ea on between a combined Bi hopsRondebo ch team and a team cho en from Wynberg. Plum tead and Fi h Hoek.

v . PAARL GYM (lo t 9-12): Once again thi wa a meritoriou performance in a game which could ha e gone either way.

The year 1975 again proved to be an enjoyable and rewarding ea on for coach and boy.

vs. OLD BOYS: The Old Boys' XV proved too strong for our. 1st XV, winning comfortably by 22-9 and making the chool team look very ordinary indeed. The Old Boys were repre ented by: L. Wilson (c.), M. Ba tin. T. Hewitt, A. Ros D. Hopwood, K. Kolesky. H. Ca par. D. Humphries, K. Wright, M. English, A. Blackbeard, J. Sim, J. van Niekerk, R. Louw and K. Horton. Throwing the ball around and winning much po session. the Old Boys cored five attractive tries.

v. PETER HOU E (won 2 3): In this, the first game of the Rhodesian tour, Wynberg clicked from the beginning and turned .in an outstanding all-round performance. vs. PRI E EDWARD liost 7-11): Wynberg played extremely well for most of the game and were a little unlucky to lose a mo I attractive match. vs. ST. GEORGE'S (won 7-6): Wynberg found St. George's a tough nut to crack al home and won by a narrow margin after missing cveral golden chance of coring owing lo bad handling.

Summary of Results

v. MILTO (won 15-13): A pleasant game in which Wynberg fell away after several players had received minor injurie . v. GRO VE OR HIGH, Durban (won 39-0): Playing in wet and windy condition, Wynberg played good rugby to win comfortably.

The 2nd XV also supplied very good competition for the 1st XV and twelve of the regular econd team players had a game or two for the first team, not alway only a replacement for injured player. On the whole tbe 2nd XV had a very good pirit and enjoyed their game very much under the efficient leader hip of very keen player like hane Barker, Johnny Pam and Dereck Fay.

WYNBERG vs. OLD BOYS (1st XV) The Old Boy-, playing attractive, running rugby, defeated the 'chool by 18-9. Atter only ten minutes the Old Boy cored an unconverted try: O. Farrant replied with a penalty for the chool: 3. Attacking -trongly, the Old Boy went further ahead after a fine inter-pa ing movement. The try was converted. Half-time: 10-3. Farrant narrowed the gap soon after halftime with a penalty: I . The Old Boy began to find each other and they bamboozled the chool with weeping pa ing movement. They succeeded in coring their tbird try after ome good running from their own twen tyfive: I 6. The Old Boys continued to attack and after a good run by D. Hopwood cored again: 18-6. In the final minute of the game Farranl goaled his third penalty. making the final score 18-9.

UNDER 19C and 0 Full re uit for the U.19C were kept this year by veteran team-member Meinhardt Greef and it is on these that this report j ba ed. Of the 132 points scored by the C team, 104 were trom trie and 60 of these points were cored by wing. It was alway our aim to run the ball and bring every player into the game, and this enabled Ross Murray to score eight trie' in e en games and Keith Ryan to . core ix in ix game. The whole team can be proud of the e efforts as a wing i utterly dependent on the kiU and elfte ne s of ru forward and in ide backs who win and deliver good baH. Although we won 9 out of 13 matches, we allowed our opponents to core 131 points against u . Thi teU of a reluctance to tackJe, with inevitable re uit . It i intere ting to note that one of our malle t player phy ically, D. J. Louwren , tood out for hi determined and courageou defence. The desire to attack mu t be matched by the determination to defend or one is only playing half a game. We ha e no record for the D team, but in noting that they played their best rugby in the second half of tbc ea on, one recogni e their willingne to learn and de ire to improve, and their real succe was in achieving the e aim. Playing for the D team i often fru trating as they are at the tail-end of every illne and injury and are always losing their best player and receive econdary attention from the coach. Tbe 0 team thi year were cheerful and enthu ia tic and regular at prnctjce . They provided plendid re erves for the C team. Paul Mathew particularly impre cd with hi leader hip and per onal play. He played on the wing and benefited from the elfle dedication of hi team-mates.

(2nd XV) Thi match wa played in the truc pirit of all Old Boy' game. Neither side he itated to run the ball and the chool ran out winner by 30-24. The half-time core was I 10. The schoor point came from a goal and a try wbile Brown and Hempel replied with trie for the Old Boys. The Old Boy began the econd half in fine spirit and through ome imaginative running were soon rewarded with tries by Watson and Wes el: 18- JO. Play wung from one side of the field to the other and the chool hit back to take a 20-18 lead. Both ide replied with excellent trie. The chool held on to their narrow lead to win a most exciting and enjoyable game. UNDER 19B The 2nd X did not have a very succe sful sea on thi year. They played 15 matches, won 6, lo t 7 and drew 2. They cored 184 point and had 164 scored again t them. The weak pot of the â&#x20AC;˘. econd .. wa in tbeir back-line where they lacked penetration. Tbe forward alway upplied them with plenty of good ball Hnd at tImes there was very little to choo e between the I t XV and the 2nd XV forwards during practice game.

The under J 6A' had a rea onably succes (ui season. winning 7 matche . losing 10 and drawing I. (Point for 217 and points again t 229.) The forward a a whole played well and as a combination were hard to beat. The backline. full of talent, found their be t form only in the econd half of the ea on. Their main weakne s wa a lack of penetration.

The forward, fared only moderately well becau!>e they only very occa ionally played with real fire. Other player .. that hou Id be mentioned are an Eden (eight matche for tbc A team). Cheel (a hardworking loek) and Cilliers Maille. promoted from the C team to the 8 t.e<lm in the second half of the ea on. howed more improvement th"n the other U.16 players. He often caught the eye with his enthu ia. m and hard work.

The under 168 team ~truggled against mo~t ide they played thi~ ~ea on. On some occasion the ide eemed to find form and play with real fire. Of the 14 matche played they won only 4. but they lo~t 4 by the narrowe t of margin. (Point for 112, and 144 against.) mong the backline player. Moch at fullback wa alway very afe. Bullcr.

who

allractive. open and fa t rugby wa played, largely because the player wanted to do well together. Much credit for thi is due to Andrew Brown, a leader of great promise, and Da id Jacoby. Their tactical appreciation of the game wa - of ast importance to tbe team. Matches were lo t badly to Bergvliet B (18-0) and Bi hops (I J, lo e were narrower to Paul Roo (18-9), Jan van Riebeeck B (8-7). Tygerberg B (12-J I) aod Rondebosch (12-8), but wc drew again t .A.C.S., beat Drubanville (I ), Bergvliet B (18-0), Rondebo ch (return game. 20 J and finalJy Plum tead (38-0). The e la t two game of the ea on were a delight. a wa the midea on 路路trial" against the B team, which wa won by tbc (9-7). Final tally was 142 points for. IJ 6 again t.

UNDER 16C In short. thi wa not a ucces ful ea on. With poor handling and tackling we were often let down at a crucial moment, but there were times when a touch of cia s wa evident. The driving play of our forward against Paarl Gym. paid dividend a we came 0 elo e to winning. (Final score 8-6.) Another succe wa our de erved victory over S.A.e .. (4-3) in very heavy conditions. Pineland brought a team of only 14 player and our victory (34-0) wa omewhat flattering, but our tackJing, and general play were above tandard. It is certain that all enjoyed the ea on, particularly tho e who improved their individual play. Ander on. Eastwood. Evan and Setterfield can be ingled out and hould be et for higher honours.

The D quad fared roughly for a while again t stronger team. There were Jo es to Paul Rol.) (2 ). Durbanville B (12-0). Bellville C (23 ) and S.A.C.S. (26-0). Ho\ ever, there were big wins over Rondebosch (24 ), Paarl Boys' High (24-4) and Bi. hops (38-8), and a ten e cliff-hanger again t Fi h Hoek B which wa narrowly lo t (8-6). The final tally was 104 point for. 179 again t.

UNDER 15A and B U.15A: Won II: Lost 3; Point for 246, again t 95. U.15B: Won -I: Drew I: Lo I 9: Point for III, again't 152. The A team. after winning eight games, ended the fir t half of the ea on by beating Paarl Gym. 17-10 in a match in which every player contributed fully and plendidly to the final victory. Three of the e matche. were won in the 1:\ t 10 minute when. with unflagging pirit and hard play. the team gained the upper hand. We lo t three matche during the second half of the sea on. Our 15A team did every, thing together in the fine t spirit of the game. Our forward. with their hard. trong play in the tight and fa t follow-up in the loo e, laid the foundation for our backline to capitalise on. Trevor Grey captained the team from the flank po ition and led by hi' fine example. The back were good and hone bccau e the ball wa given to them cleanly by the forwards. They were fa t and incisive when on the attack and deadlyon defence. The B team had a patchy lart to the ea on but their cohe ion and pattern of play improved greatly. They were a team never lacking ispirit and they enjoyed fully all the matches they played.

UNDER 14A and B lf the under 14A team were le than they were la路t year in term lost and won, the ,ca on wa more in that the team developed a style of play that by September proved more ucce sful and attractive than that of la t ea on. Rugby throughout wa of a high tandard, particularly among t the country team. who, u ing a \ eight ad antage con tructively and playing attractive rugby. proved formidable opponents. The A team did weil to beat Paarl Boys' High at Paarl in a hard. driving game. t the beginning of the econd half of the ea on the team lo t three matches in a row, but through dedicated practice came back to win mo t of the re t of the game, and by the end of the ea on were playing rugby of a high tandard that promise a ucce ful future. The B team alo had a mo t rewarding season. With the addition of a few new key player and an excellent pirit and dedication they greatly improved their play, and had a far more. ucce ful and enjoyable ea on than they did last year.

On the th June, 1944, ju t prior to the British avy' on laught at Cherbourg in the operation OVERLORD. the Admiral made a final ignal to hi hip in Force G. The ignal read: B t of luck: to you all - keep a good length - and your eye on tne middle tumpand we hall. oon have the enemy all out. Tony Greig. the tall South African captaining England again t Au tralia at Lord's mu t ha e u ed similar word to whip uch spirit into his spinele<;' team. They certainly put ome pine into the ide when David teele. our coach in 1972. wa included in the remoulded XI. David cored 50 in the fir tinning. took: the la t wick:et of the Au tralian's fir t inning and made 4- in the econd and took a vital wicket. fini hing up with a very creditable performance indeed. I sent him a cable congratulating him on hi election to the England XI. which read: â&#x20AC;˘ ongratulations - nothing le' than a maiden century - we are right behind you.' tephen Howell wa our captain and W.P. Nuffield repre entative for 1975 and. we tru t. for 1976. He did weil and wa . we are led to believe. almo t elected for the .A. uffield XI. The chool team had to change coaches in midea on a Mr. L Heath left on promotion to Port Elizabeth, and Mr. Brian Ingpen took o er. Mr. J. Mathew continued to act a the chool coach and the team. under tephen Howell' captaincy, continued to make teady prog re . t the end of la tyear. R. Farrant headed the bowling average. but M. Cawood took the mo t wicket. tephen Howell had the highe t a erage a a bat man. with R. Farrant econd. Over the whole ea on. however. R. Farrant headed the average with a well-earned 59,7. wh il t Peter Hanmer in hi first sea,on with the I t XI topped the bowling averages with 12.8. and Keith Miller wa second with 13.4 and wa al 0 third in the batting average with an average of 20.1. The e four boy are very g od cricketer and could well be included in the W.P. uffield ide for 1976. if the apply them el e. to their cricket.

Stuart Leary wa able to devote one lunchtime per week to fir t team coaching and hi effort were incerely appreciated. Our Schoolma ter coache ha e done excellently thi ea on. Lind ay Eachu (2nd Xll. Johan Louw (3rd Xl). Clive Jordaan (4th XI). ere Parkin' (5th XI) coached the enior ide. and the junior were coached by Eddy Blignaut, who replaced Tim Southey (U.15A). C. Crou (U.ISB) replaced R. Frauenknecht. Keith Richard on took over the U.14A from R. Connellan. whil t M. Harri (U.14B). G. Watkin (U.15e) continued with their team. A. Morri again accepted re pon ibility of th'! U.14D week:-day XI. John Baxter upervi ed the pool cricket played by all cricketer who have not been elected for a team. Our coache played the R.B.H .. coache but were unable to give as good an account of themelve a they did la t ea on. May I. on behalf of the boy and the parent. thank the ma ter for their untiring effort and their keenne . which help 0 much in making a ea on of cricket worthwhile. When Tim outhey left to take up a bu ine appointment, Keith Richardson became the cricket-k:it upervi or. With the help of the boarders an the taff. team have been well equipped throughout the ea on. Our ground ,>taff. ably directed by Mr. J. Payne. who i an expert with turf-wicket. have provided u with excellent playing surfaces. Thank you, Mr. Payne. John and the boy who prepare the wickets. To all who umpired our matche we extend a oie of hearty thank. e pecially to Mr. Howell. who wa 0 helpful in every way. We tern Province were the winner of the urrie UP'o we would lake this opportunity of congratulating Eddie Barlow and hi team on their excellent performance. There were no Wynberg Old Boys involved in the victory but in the coming ea on I think Gary BriekneIl. Allan Lamb and Garth le Roux will do ser ice again. and might help W.P. to relain the up. Thi i my forecast.

We are grateful to Me dame Howell and Hanmer and their helper who organised refre hments and the willingnes of ome parent to accommodate our guest from Queen's College wa appreciated.

We incerely hope that the international cene will alter so that Eddie Barlow and the pnngbok will again be able to put pepper and pice into the world cricket ing cene once more. Wc have been pleased to have the Robbin I visiting us. but there i nothing like a confrontation to help the popularity of thi~ wonderful game Quentin Rockledge and hi laremont team did well to regain the leader hip from their rival, Technical College. ongratulation! We hope Mike Bowditch will be fit again and at the an~e time sympathi e with Jack Burt (J nr.) about hi achille tendon injury. Once or twice lan Lamb' name ha appeared in the pres for good performance in the Oudt hoornGeorge district. ow that he i back in Cape Town he will perhap take his cricket a little bit more eriou ly and hi ability ma be e erci.ed more often. John awood did well la t sea on. Perhap . he. too, will come to the fore. Mr . Howell and Mrs. RonaId on and the P.T. . Ladie' ommiltee mu t be thanked for their faithfulne in looking after the material need~ of our player week by week at the tuck hop. The Littlewood House lunche have al 0 been appreciated. To Matron and tbe talf we al 0 give our thank for going the extra mile to ac~ommodate the I t XI and our vi itor on aturday. The Hou e matche were curtailed omewhat this year. but Wellington was the overall winner. The junior matche were won by LittIewood Hou e and the senior competition by Wellington.

l'S.

This pon ored, limited-over competitIon brought Wynberg to a thriUing final against Rondebo ch at the Vineyard Ground. Ea y wins in the early round again t t. Jo eph' College and Cape Town High chool paved the way for an exciting ictory over Plumtead. Although eventuaUy beaten by Rondebo ch in the final. the team worked hard to be there. The merit of pon ored cricket of thi nature ha e been questioned, but the keen intere t which ha been generated i certainly a mitigating factor. The money which the chool won ha been put toward cricket equipment for Coloured school, many of whom have little or no money for porting activitie . Thank mu t go to Mr. Payne for hi excellent and cheerful help in the preparation of the ground, Mr. Mathew for hi guiding hand, Mr. Howell for umpiring, and alo to Mr. Howell and other mother who prepared teas for u . Mr. Fritz Bing gave valuable time and advice which are incerely appreciated. It ha alo been good to have loyal upport from parent, old boy and pupil.

3rd XI The 3rd XI ea on of 74175 wa not very 'uccessful from the point of game won. but many boy had the opportunity to play for u during the ea on and the matche were enjoyed by all who took part. The 3rd xr had a nucleu of teady bat men like Blackbeard. Ka al ky. Organ and ro .. Bell and Ka al ky had mo t ucce with the ball. There were many others who hone on oeca ions but their stay in the Third~ was not long.

Garth Sutherland captained the side well throughout and wa perhap the most con i tent bowler. though con i tenc wa largely ab.ent in thi ideo Michael van Ren burg showed glimp e of poli hed batting in two h:1lf-centurie. a well a ome fine off- pin bowling, and hou Id be relied on in the I t XI next year. Other who have cricket in them but never blo omed to the full were Greg Sing and Dick Davie . who were able to dominate the be t of bowler. and Grant Cawood a a pacey opening bowler who. unfortunately. required a considerable number of leg- ide fielder !

UNDER 158 (1975) Apart from winning comfortably again t C.B.C.. the U.15B· had a very poor first half of the eason. Lack of application of the basic kill een~ed to be the team's downfall in mos! of their matches. The team' fielding. however. impro ed as the ea on progre sed. Evan, Lindup. Melliar and Byme were the most successful bowlers. while Marx, the captain, . cored mo t of the run. Hubbard was the most i:nproved batsman at the end of the eason. We hope that the e young player- will mature and become more competent during the second half of the sea on.

Peter Williams, in addition to being a useful bowler and bat man. proved to be a mo table captain. Hi departure to Bishops is a real loss. Andrew illie wa tbe chief run-getter. His 50 against Bi hop and his 45 against S.A.C.S. were ma terful innings of watchful concentration and calculated aggre sion. David Peacock alo seo red run. but he must develop more application. Wayne Gabb and Douglas Wilson were naggingly accurate bowler who often collected vital wicket. Kevin Bridgen was a steady. unruffled wicketkeeper who tended to be omewhat lax at time. In all, this i a ide with an exciting future which bears watching.

coaching and umpmng have been invaluable all through the ea on. Yet it i not only the e who de erve our thanks, but tho e whose deeds go un ung in the background. Mr. Pa ne ha a difficult job-he not only has the very onerous ta k of making the field pre eniable for hockey. but he ha had to li ten to endle tream of ugge tions on how the field can be improved. Not only ha he coped mo t commendably. but he has remained ane in the proce . It would be a ad day if all this were taken for granted. Last, but mo t emphatically not least. i that indomitable. indispen able. lo al. and hard-working band of parent who have helped to make the 1975 cason unforgettable. 1 am loth to ingle out any parent in particular becau e 0 many have come forward and offered their ervice,-from fund-raising and tran port to accommodation and a po tea on dinner. Our thank have already been revealed b the pirit and enthu. iasm hown by all the boys who played Wynberg hockey thi year. The field till remain a problem. During lhe fir t term blinds of volunteer. including Lt rugby player on one occa ion. bent their back in ome pre- ea on tTaining and top-dre .ed the many needy patche on the hockey field.

The 19誰5 hockey ea on ha now reached completion and it is a time when one it back and think whether the aim of coaching hockey have been reali ed. A in all sports. the primary objective is enjoyment. If thi. aim i ucce ful then the econd aim i~ ea y-tCl achie e a certain degree of competency in the port. One aim cannot be reali ed without the other. Hoeke cannot be enjoyed until the fundamental of topping. hitting. pa ing are learnt and thoroughly ma tered. One of the le on that the I t team learnt on tour from the atal chool wa that we do not pend enough time on ba ic . It i an in_oiring ight to watch a Liebenberg or a Mad.en dribbling but we overlook the fact that hours of practice are neecessary to reach this tandard. Fortunately \ e learnt thi le on early in the eason. Evidence of thi i the fact that many boy are playing men' hockey on aturday afternoons in addition to chool hockey. tacy. Ho\ ell and chluter have pla}'ed Grand Challenge. and many U.IS's arc playing in the men league. Thi an encouraging and healthy Slg:l Four ide were entered in the chool' League thi year with an .15B being added in the third term. Mr. Baxter helped with the coaching. and with hi own unique brand of humour. energy and enthu ia m encour:1ged the 3rd team to ri e from the depth of lo ing every match in the econd term to being undefeated in the third. To umpire all the ideo on a Saturday morning i an impo ibility. but many ha e tepped forward and offered their ervices. Mr. Mathew has willingly trekked to ariou point of the Pen in. uia: Mr. Pattenden. an .15 parent. ha frequently given up hi' aturday morning: Mr. Pullen' advice,

1st XI The 1st Xl has had a happy ea on. They ha e played good hockey throughout. and even when thing have gone again t them they have endeavoured to play a con truetive. thinking game. The team wa weIl led by teven Howell. who.e maturity a. a hockev player de eloped a~ the ea on progre_ ed. The trength of the ide lay in the forward. who combined very well and rrequently gave bold di play of fast. accurate. and hort pa sing. The defence was erratic and wa caught napping on many occaion. and needle s goal were conceded. However. thi improved later in the ea on once the player learnt the importance of positional play.

A good nucleu of the ideo including eight of the touring ide, are due to return next year. With many other knocking ,It the door prospect are healthy.

Natal Tour This tour gave the team an unforgettable le son in hu\ to play lhe ba ic of the game. The inexperience of the ide wa expo ed jn that they took a long time to adju t to playing on the harder. fa ter field of Natal. and different condition tended to rattle them. However. the benefit of the new experiences. friendship. and hockey companion hip were incalculable, and thi has revealed itself in a more mature approach by the boy thi term -both on and off the field. Kelvin Perry wa the out tanding player of the tour and scored ~ome incredible goal

TY ON (Half): Ha the ability lo do weil. bul periodic ca ualne robs him of being a really good player. Tackle well. but distribution a little haky. With determination could be a mainstay of the ide next year. HADWEN (Half): A hardworking centrehalf who is ever ready to li ten and to learn. Improved in the econd half of the season. but must still learn to judge a tackle. CHL TER (Forward) (W.P. chool; Blue): A very gifted player who ha yet 10 how hi true potential. Deadly in the circle, but mu t overcome a tendency to hang on to the ball. Too ca ual at time and mu t learn to look for work.

WHENYOUR MONEY NEEDSHELP. Today, more than ever, investing money is a serious business. Because today your investment has inflation to fight. So before putting your money into just any savings account, fi rst ask you rself: (i) Are you getting the highest .avai lable interest rate? (ii) Are there any hidden financial charges to bring the rate of interest down? (iii) Is the interest credited to your account monthly - or only once a year? If you are credited monthly (as at Nedbank) it means that you earn com-

pound interest on your savings so your money multiplies that much faster. (iv) Are you protected against any sudden drop in interest rates. And will you benefit if the rates go up? (v) Can you draw money when you need to? You'll find, no matter what your particular savings need is, Nedbank has the best answer to it. Which in turn is why once you're a Nedbanker, you'll always be a Nedbanker. Nedbank Limited Registered Commercial Bank A member of the Nedsual Group.
