EDITORIAL

FROM THE HEADMASTER

We live in the age of built-in obsolescence, exorbitant charges and widespread customer dissatisfaction. The man who takes a pride in his skill, thoroughness and honest labour is, regrettably, becoming a rarity.

The year 1985 will long be remembered in the evolution of South Africa as a year of political unrest, financial uncertainty, foreign pressure and constitutional change. There is little doubt that within five years we will be living in a very different South Africa.

As 1985 draws to its close and another group of Matrics leave our classrooms, one wonders what attitudes each of these individuals will carry into his world of work. Will he join the ranks of those who produce shoddy goods, poor service and inflated prices? Or will he become one of those who pride themselves in their workmanship, their reliableness and their reputation for good service?

Education has not gone unscathed. Schools in the black and coloured areas have been devastated and schools in white areas can count themselves fortunate in that they have not felt the full impact of the unrest. Our whole education system is also going through a period of change, with strong support from all sectors and race groups for a single education body and policy.

Just what sort of attitude each of our Matrics will take into the world will depend on whether the correct values and disciplines have been learned during his youth. The successful inculcation of these important values and disciplines is undoubtedly one of the most formidable challenges that parents and teachers have to face. May we always strive to meet that challenge.

Many of us have continued to ignore the challenges of the day and hoped that the situation will again normalise itself. Unfortunately nothing will be the same again and parents and teachers will have to reassess the values they are inculcating in our boys and girls. No longer can we assume that whites are priviledged and no longer can we presume that other races are lesser people. 4

Although this will mean change, this is not a time for despair. It is a period in which each one of us must take a positive step forward and, to ourselves and to the boys and girls we influence, stress the values of courage, humility, tolerance, hope and faith. We can and must believe that there is a place for all of us in this wonderful country.

JAN OOSTHUIZEN - A TRIBUTE "1 am Wynberg to my fingertips". That is how Jan Oosthuizen described himself to me on one occasion. It is a description which I feel is so apt as here is a man who has devoted 37 years to a school.

Mr :an.d Mrs Jackson

Unfortunately we will be losing the services of Miss Vetta Wise at the end of this year. In the relatively brief time that she has been with us she has done excellent work as a teacher of music and, in addition, created a School Choir of which Wynberg is justifiably proud. We will miss both her tremendous contribution to music in our school and her pleasant company in our staffroom. She leaves with our thanks and our best wishes.

In my initial encounters with Jan Oosthuizen I found him to be a very direct man and must admit that I came away from these encounters somewhat confused and angry. However, as our association progressed, I came to appreciate that this directness was not governed by any personal ambition, but by a desire to obtain everything that was good for his school. He never saw Wynberg Junior as being an appendage to the high school, but r3ther an equal partner in the education of our boys from Sub A to Standard 10. He was always quick to appreciate any action that included both schools and brought them closer together.

Regrettably, Mr Steve Bronkhorst and Mrs Joy Redlinghuys will also be leaving us at the end of this year. Steve Bronkhorst has only been with us since the third term of 1984, but in this brief time he has shown himself to be an extremely capable and conscientious teacher who has made a very positive contribution to Wynberg. We wish him every success as he returns to the business world. Our staffroom will not be the same without his infectious chuckle.

A further remarkable attribute I have come to admire is his deep concern and knowledge of his boys, their parents and the old boys of the school. He has always had time to give to his school community and I am sure this community will miss - as I will personally miss - the impact of Jan Oosthuizen on the Wynberg schools. They don't make them like Jan any more. R CAlgie

STAFF NOTES At the beginning of this year we welcomed four new members of staff. For Mr Keith Richardson, who was appointed to one of the vacant Head of Department posts, it was a return to Wynberg after a number of years at Plumstead High School. For the other three teachers, Mr Tom Noot, Mr Michael Moore and Miss Vetta Wise, Wynberg was a new experience. All four of these new arrivals have proved themselves to be welcomed and valuable acquisitions to our staff.

Mrs Mary Williams, our school 8~r 5

New arrivals this year: (at back) Mr Moore, (at front) Mr Richardson, Miss Wise, Mr Noot

Joy Redlinghuys is serving her second stint at Wynberg and we have been very pleased to have her back again. She leaves us at the end of this year with our gratitude for a much-valued contribution to Mathematics at Wynberg. Our best wishes to you, Joy, and thank you for taking on all those D.T. classes!

of Cape Town. He has, however, decided to continue with a Master's degree next year and has, therefore, resigned from our staff. We wish him every success and we sincerely hope that he is contemplating reapplying for a post at Wynberg once he has completed his studies. We would, indeed, be sorry to lose a teacher of his undoubted talents.

After many years of service to Wynberg we bade farewell to Mr Bertus Bester, our Woodwork master, at the end of the second term. During his time here Mr Bester has maintained a high standard of work in his department. The very well-equipped woodwork room that he leaves behind is also a tribute to his initiative. We thank him for his many years of service to Wynberg and we wish him well in his new post.

Our congratulations to Messrs David Bromberger, Peter Decker, Des de la Mare, Keith Richardson and Andy Todd on their promotion to the vacant Head of Department posts at Wynberg. Congratulations must also go to Kallie and Alida Pretorius on the birth of a son. Our good wishes for a long and happy married life together go to Martin and Dianne Stovold who were married in March of this year.

Our Headmaster, Mr Algie, took a few weeks leave at the beginning of the third term so that he could enjoy an extended mid-year vacation with his family in Europe. By all accounts the Algie family had a thoroughly enjoyable overseas tour.

Our new Staff Association Committee was elected in the thi~d term. The new committee is as follows: Messrs Andy Todd (Chairman), Tony 81ackbeard, Alistair Cross, Des de la Mare and Rocco Radloff.

Our congratulations to Mr Ray Connellan, our deputy principal, n the extremely capable manner in which he took over the reins of the school in Mr Algie's absence.

In the third term we welcomed Mr Peter Jackson and his wife, Anne, to our staffroom. Mr Jackson is filling the vacant woodwork post in a temporary capacity until the end of this year and Mrs Ann Jackson stood in as teacher-librarian for Mr Keith lIiffe in the third term. We are grateful to both of them for coming to our assistance. P.E.D.

Mr Keith Iliffe, our teacher-librarian, was on leave during the third term. He and his wife seem to have had a most enjoyable time in the Greek Islands. Mr Andrew Paterson is at present on study leave and completing a B.Ed. degree at the University 6

DEPARTMENT REPORTS THE ACCOUNTING Subject Head: Mr D. Meyer

matter what career he may choose to follow, the Accounting he learned will be of value.

DEPARTMENT

Even in the case of boys who choose a career divorced from any aspect of Accounting, the general aims of the subject - neatness, orderliness, thoroughness and accuracy - can only benefit them in their future lives. O.M.

I welcome this opportunity to say something about Accounting astaught i.nour school. It was possible in the past for even a mediocre student to obtain relatively good results as marks were given for each and every item correctly entered. The present tendency, however, is to award marks far more discriminatingly and to reward the pupil who is able to handle the subject as a whole and apply the principles of Accounting to sophisticated and complicated problems. For this reason it is necessary to stress that Accounting is no longer the "easy option" it was previously considered to be. The new syllabus, which was introduced in Standard 6 in 1983and in Standard 7 last year is far more directed toward the development of insight and understanding of the basic principles of the subject rather than having students simply learning how to keep a set of books.

You must balance the booksl

DEPARTEMENT VAN AFRIKAANS

The syllabus seeks to prepare the pupil for either further studies or direct entry into Commerce. Whichever course he may choose, he will find himself well prepared, as the content is well balanced between introductory work for Accounting at University and basic practical accounting required for employment in some or other Accounting field.

In the matric year the Higher and Standard Grade syllabuses differ considerably, both in content and degree of difficulty. We feel strongly that unlessa mark in excessof 60% is obtained in Standards 8 and 9 the Higher Grade course in Standard 10 should not be attempted.

"Soveel tale wat ek kan, soveel maal is ek 'n man." - ej. Langenhoven Met 'n mate van huiwering is daar vanjaar met die nuwe leerplanne in sts. 6, 7 en 8 begin. Die klem isop kommunikasie; mondeling en skriftelik. Ongelukkig het dit al die uitsondering, eerder as die reĂŤl, geword om met 'n nuwe sillabus te begin terwyl handboeke daarvoor onbekombaar is. Dit het nou ook weer so

The syllabus in each standard from 6 to 10 is a well-rounded unit and at each year end finishes at a significant stage. This means that, should a boy decide to drop the subject at any time, he is nevertheless in possession of a complete body of knowledge up to that particular stage and no 14

gebeur. Ons het egter die meeste struikelblokke oorkom en is besig om 'n groot sukses van hierdie taak te maak. Volgende jaar kom st. 9 aan die beurt. Die belangrikheid van Afrikaans Tweede Taal as skoolvak neem jaarliks toe. Verlede jaar het meer as6 ()()()van die Senior Sertifikaat-kandidate Afrikaans Tweede Taal aangebied. Gelukkig ondervind ons dat die houding teenoor die aanleer van Afrikaans onder ons leerlinge oor die algemeen baie goed is. Mnr. Noot het vanjaar by ons aangesluit.

As usual, during the year we have tried to introduce new ideas into the practical work and some very good work was produced, notably in standards 7, 6 and 9 though the best work continues to come from a few matric boys.

Daar is baie goeie samewerking in die Afrikaansdepartement en langs hierdie weg word elke leerkrag bedank vir sy samewerking en lojaliteit en voorspoed toegewens vir die laaste skof van die jaar wat voorlĂŞ. 1.M.B.

The Art Department became involved in work for the Festival and boys from the Art Department produced the posters, and various stage sets and props. This was largely due to the hard work of Brent Hudson.

THE ART DEPARTMENT

On Open Night we had on an exhibition of work from the third term and we put on a printing demonstration, largely concerned with simple screen printing techniques. We received some very favourable comments from both parents and the public.

Last year the Art Department achieved the highest subject average in the school. As we only have a small select group this is to be expected. The results were however good, especially on the higher grade where we had a 64%average. Hopefully this will be repeated this year.

The Superintendent's visit hasbeen very positive and I appreciated his approach in emphasizing the positive aspects in the Art Department. On the negative side, we still experience a certain amount of theft, vandalism and a reluctance on the part of the boys to clean up properly. Also one or two unfortunate incidents during the Festival happened to mar an otherwise good year. P.R.M.

I was away for the first five weeks of the year and left the department in the capable hands of Miss Ellis.She began the year very well and I returned to find some good work had been done. The boys enjoyed having a highly-motivated woman teacher and they responded well to her teaching.

The Std 7 syllabus is also new. It emphasises plant and insect structure and also insect behaviour. A cage for the breeding and observation of cockroaches is to be built in one or both laboratories so that living specimens can be studied. Because Std 7 may be the last year of Biology for some pupils and since no human anatomy or physiology is covered in Std 6 and 7, it was decided that the project should be the building of a model of one of the organs of the body together with a report on it's function. In this way pupils dropping Biology at the end of the year will have at least become acquainted with one aspect of human structure and function. The new Std 8 syllabus was introduced this year. The main subjects covered are ecology, plant anatomy and human anatomy. The project this year was a report and model of an ecosystem. The study of a river was recommended. With the growing emphasis on conservation today, it is essential that pupils develop a clear understanding of the dynamics involved in the relationships between all living things on our planet.

The Std 9 and 10 work is still one unit. The enormous diversity of the work is well illustrated by practical handling of models and specimens, microscope work and a large number of films and slides. The Std 9's have to face a practical exam on all the practical work done. The Std 10's simply have to know two years work for tHeir final examination.

This year the Biology Department was in a state of transition pending the replacement of Mr Mathew who retired last year. We must thank Messrs de la Mare, Moser and Pretorius for helping the department with such zeal during this time.

The new Std 6 syllabus which was introduced last year has required much new planning and, in order to do justice to the work on reproduction in plants and animals, it has become necessary to establish a special garden in the school grounds where the different specimens for practical work or observation can be cultivated. The garden will be started next year. The Std 6 project - the building and keeping of a vivarium should provide some first hand experience to the pupils of the different forms of reproductive behaviour of a variety of animals. A permanent cage for the keeping and breeding of rats is being built in one of the laboratories so that proper techniques of observation can be taught to this group of pupils. This method can then be applied to their own vivariums so that reports on the lifestyle, breeding and habits of various animals can be compiled during the year.

Our Matrics of last year did not fulfil our expectations and we obtained no A symbols. Despite this the overall average of the Matric Higher Grade group was 59%. This high average indicates that we obtained a fair number of B's and C's.

The English Department's contribution to Open Night took the form of the newly devised InterHouse Public Speaking Competition and "Test Your Parents' English" both of which attracted much interest from parents.

Mr Prelorius makes his point

The Writers' Competition drew a reasonable number of entries this year, but not as many as we had hoped. However, the Reading Competition drew an unprecedented number of entrants. It was most pleasing to note this enthusiastic response. The English Department has continued to hold meetings at regular intervals during the course of 1985 and I wish to record my thanks to the teachers in our department both for their enthusiastic participation in these meetings and for their sustained efforts in the teaching of English this year. P.E.D. 17

Unfortunately with comings there are also goings, and it is particularly distressing that we are to lose someone who is arguably the most capable and the most popular member of our department. I speak of Mrs Redlinghuys who in the past three years has done a tremendous job in helping boys enjoy their Maths classes and build up confidence in their Maths ability. That paper qualifications and not real and proven ability can be the deciding factor when it comes to teacher employment is a very sad comment on our Education Department. We do trust that in some way provision can be made soon to allow for Mrs Redlinghuys's return to Wynberg. We are pleased to let it be known that as of this year Mathematics has become an optional subject from standard eight onwards. It is no doubt true that few - only 5 this year - will take advantage of this change, but it is nevertheless highly important that there be some escape route for those who just cannot handle the subject. In this regard, as also in respect of the Higher Grade/Standard Grade choice, we would appeal for realism on the part of both pupils and parents. Perseverance is good, certainly, and exploration of all possible avenues to success is mandatory, but flogging a dead horse is counterproductive. This is particularly so in the case of the HG pupil who persists so long at an unrealistic level of Mathematics that he finally turns completelyagainst the subject and fails even on the Standard Grade. An innovation this year was a five-day Vacation Maths Course conducted for 31 Matric S.G. pupils in the September holidays. It was organised on the basis of pupil activity at all times, but aid was continually available by way of written model examples, advice from three teachers, and solution sheets to the work being done. In this way "active learning" - the only worthwhile form of learning -could take place and a sound foundation, at least, was laid for later work. Congratulations to all those who gave up so much of their holiday time to participate in this course. Which brings us to the finals: the very best of good fortune to all, particularly matrics, who write the year-end exams - and may you rely on more than good fortune!

It was our aim this year to improve on our visual aids. We have increased our slide collection considerably with the addition of the fine slides produced by the Standard Nines. In addition, many video programmes are being collected. This year Mr ten Veldthuis was in charge of our junior history and Mr Pretorius the senior history. This arrangement made the department much more effective. This year Mr Keith Richardson joined us from Plumstead High. He seems to be full of ideas and has generated enthusiasm in his classes. His Std 8 projects, dealing with the historical buildings of Wynberg, made very interesting and informative reading. I would like to thank all the staff in this department for their co-operation, enthusiasm and hard work in 1984. We wish all Matrics fruitful revision. May their results reflect their talents and efforts. K.j.P.

Our 1984 Matric class produced 100% pass rate. Congratulations to Miles van iekerk on achieving an A symbol.

Music is a discipline which embraces many things: the mastery of the physical complexities and intricacies of playing one or more instruments; the sense of achievement as each stage is conquered; and, as the wealth of the musical repertoire becomes accessible to the student, the experimentation with different interpretations, and the pleasure (and pain!) of public performance. Then there is the theoretical side: the systematic development of the ear; analysis of musical works; learning musical history; and gradual familiarization with the whole new language and "grammar" of music. The pupils who follow this course may become orchestral musicians, solo performers, composers, musicologists ...

In 1985 there has been a fractional drop in intake. Std 7 numbers only 20 pupils against the previous maximum of 24. The news that the Engineering Faculty at U.C.T. has excluded Metalwork S.G. as an entry qualification may have had something to do with this decline. The future of Metalwork S.G. is a topic destined for a Study Group investigation at the Education Department in January 1986. U.C.T. has, however, agreed, in writing, to accept pupils from Wynberg who offer Metalwork S.G. Metalwork is still a popular subject where offered and the boys enjoy the challenges of the discipline. A new approach was tried with the Std 6 group this year. We introduced Technical Drawing, taught by Mr D. Meyer, 4 periods per cycle with Metalwork and Woodwork having 6 periods per cycle. The practical work has gone ahead with the usual brisk pace of discovery that only

Those taking music as a subject this year include one Std 10 (clarinet), two Std. 8's (flute and trombone), one Std 7 (violin) and two Std 6's (bassoon and French horn). There are also several individual pupils who have entered 19

external Piano and Theory Examinations and Eisteddfodau. In the Cape Town Eisteddfod Nicholas Groves, David link, Graham Leon and Justin Beckley all achieved Honours; and in the Afrikaans Eisteddfod Leon and Beckley were awarded Diplomas. Zink achieved 94% in his Royal Schools Theory Examination. To date we have not received the Piano Examination results.

closing, I must pay particular tribute to Mr Norman Edwards, without whose calm sense of perspective, and many extra hours of practical assistance many things would not have been possible. Mr Algie has been constantly supportive and encouraging, as have the parents. Many of the staff members themselves have helped a great deal, both practically and by showing an interest (despite occasional abductions by the Music Department of team players from meetings, cadet marchers, etd).

The joy of making music is that it gives pleasure at virtually any level; and the more pupils who participate, the higher the general standard will become. There are manyoutlets at Wynberg. (Sometimes, as we try to co-ordinate rehearsal times and negotiate inevitable clashes, we may mutter "Too many!"). There are the Choir and Vocal Ensembles, the Wind Ensemble, the Cadet Band and the Folk Music Society - separate reports on these will be found elsewhere in this magazine. Pupils have performed individually in the Wind Ensemble Concert, the Choir Concert, at an Interschools Concert hosted by SACS, at the Arts Festival and on Open Night. On the latter occasion 15 pupils performed solos (piano, singing and various instruments) to a highly appreciative (and sympathetic!) audience of parents and friends.

As to the boys themselves, I can only congratulate them on having responded to every new challenge and having risen with courage to every occasion. To all these people my heartfelt appreciation and thanks : through them the Music Department at Wynberg can only go from strength to strength. f. T.W.

The Physical Education Department functioned soundly during 1984/1985 and the following developments were accomplished: - - the re- organising of the sport store. - The introduction of a standard 9 volley ball tournament and a matric basket ball tournament. - The creation of a volley ball court alongside the A-rugby field for standard 9 recreational use. - The start of a weight-lifting club. - The reintroduction of the gymnastic dub. - An end-of-year inter-class relay swimming gala at which nearly 300 boys participate in fun events such as pyjama and flipper races. - A successful Super Sportsman competition. - The continuation of parents' keep-fit classes. My thanks go to Mr Steve Bronkhorst and Mr Kallie Pretorius for their continued support and interest during this past year, to Mr Algie for the motivation behind a 90% regular participation of our boys in all-the-year-round sport and to Mr H.E. McEwan, our subject advisor, for his guidance.

The Class Music periods for Std 6's and 7's fill an important gap for many boys as a basic introduction to music: a little listening, snippets of general musical knowledge and making music (this year classes learnt a whole jazz-cantata and some are now singing in two parts). There has been an effort to improve the singing at Assemblies, with hymn practices for each standard and the School and the introduction of new hymns each term. (A new W.B.H.S. hymnbook is being compiled and soon each boy will possess his own hymnbook). The Wind Ensemble has accompanied the hymns whenever possible - and on an occasion like Founders' Day it all "fell into place" and became the stirring experience hymn singing can be. There is a general feeling of enthusiasm about new musical endeavours at the school. In

Once again it has been a year of satisfactory progress. A very sound spirit exists within the department and all members of the staff have made a full contribution.

Within the department standardised tests are set and standardised practica Is are held. Very close co-operation occurs with respect to the interchange of laboratories, classrooms and notes, and a sound professional growth has once again occurred amongst the staff.

The Std. 7 pupils were all required to make a working model of an optical instrument and some very effective cameras, image producers, periscopes and kaleidoscopes were produced. ext year all non-matric pupils will be expected to do a project and we look forward to an equally high standard of work.

Messrs Radloff and Connellan attended the ational Convention of Science and Mathematics Teachers held in Durban in June. Once again this proved most stimulating and an important lesson learnt was the need to be aware of the language problem in teaching cience.

In the annual rush to complete woodwork models before the end of the year, it is clear that most boys make items of furniture which are simply too large for school work. The sheer size and surface area that must be sanded and polished means that mechanical equipment must be used to obtain a neat finish in the limited school period time available. Expertise in handling equipment is surely beneficial to all who pass through our department. It has a place in our syllabus, but must be limited to allow more time for traditional hard skills to be learned. Future Matrics, please note that woodwork time is extremely limited, so choose small models with intricate work. Aim at quality rather than massiveness.

The Standard 6's and 7's, who have library lessons once a week, are the most prolific borrowers; it is a pity that not many of the senior pupils appear to carry on this habit higher up the school. The magazine racks remain a major attraction (the "Huisgenoot" lasts about three days, if we're lucky), displaying periodicals that range from "Custos" (a wildlife magazine) to "Military Modelling".

On the whole, sensible use is made of the library as a research facility and an opportunity for escapism (sometimes, I fear, in the literal rather than the literary sense), but there is still room for improvement in pupils behaviour in the Library and in their care for borrowed books -too often I am forced to take a popular book off the shelves because it is falling to pieces.

OPEN NIGHT - 1985

A.M.}.

This year Mr Keith Richardson organised, encouraged and brought to fruition an evening of entertainment, admiration and good will. "The Hollow" resounded to the strains of tunes played by the Cadet Band and then, towards six o'clock, the classrooms were opened and people streamed in - not as great a crowd as last year - to admire and listen to their sons explaining to them the intricacies of puppets, calligraphic arts and how to say in German what you want to say in the Hill Academy of Modern Languages. The Science Demonstrations were of the usual high standard, culminating in the Coulthardian Incomprehensibles which drew Oohs and Aahs from admiring parents and pupils.

YOUTH PREPAREDNESS Messrs Algie, Bester, Blackbeard, Hili, Jackson, Louw and Noot formed the 1985 YPteam. Youth Preparedness has become an integral part of our time-table this year. Each class has YP on a different day so that the team can focus attention on one standard at a time. The YP class now takes the form of lectures, discussion groups, hall assemblies or demonstrations at a suitable venue. Some examples of lecture topics were: S.A. Law and Firearms, Oral Communication, Smoking and Respiration, Etiquette, Hobbies and School Awareness.

Meantime down in the Tuck Shop area palatetickling curry and rice vied for the honours of Des's Pic 'n Chip. In the woodwork room we were treated to a display of extremely fine work in different kinds of wood, while downstairs Johann Louw's casting was a feature of the evening.

The juniors had a session of animal care and were shown how a school for canines functions. Thanks must go to Mrs Geeringh and her group of ladies. A member of the Beauty Without Cruelty International Organisation gave a lecture and film show which elicited good response from the boys.

Miss Wise's Soiree and Choir performance was of the usual excellent rendering while Norman Edwards conducted his men with true aplomb, as only he can.

On the afternoon of 16 August 1985 we had a "first" at the school: A Western Province Blood Transfusion Clinic was held at Wynberg. 39 units were donated with a couple of enthusiastic donors reluctantly turned away, one too old, one too young. The afternoon was faintly enjoyed by all. It is hoped that this clinic will function four times during 1986.

Keith Richardson's boys saw to the rebuilding of Pompei while Alistair Cross took his die-hards across the country on a "short" warm-up. Peter Decker tested out the English Grammar Knowledge of the parents who were the 'pupils' of the Standard Six C class. There was much amusement and joviality in this group as the antecedants and co-ordinates vied for attention with adverbial usage.

The programme has, through the enthusiasm and co-operation of the team, been most successful. }.G.t.

The Evening wore away to the lilting tunes of "Scarborough Fair" and "Streets of London" from the Folk Music Society. This was followed by "The Exceptionto the Rule" - the Littlewood House winning One-Act Play for 1985. Once more it was a time well spent, an evening of achievement, another chapter in the Wynberg High School annals. T.O'R.

FOUNDERSDAY -1985 Founders Day 1985 followed its traditional course, beginning with the ceremony in the Clegg Hall which was followed by the Cadet Band performance, the Cadet march-past, tea in the Quad and the afternoon's sports events. However, there were some innovations in this year's ceremony in the hall. For the first time we heard the combined High and Junior Schools' Choir rendering "The School Song" and "I Vow to Thee My Country". The Junior School's Head Prefect read the Lessonand Mr JanOosthuizen, Headmaster of the Junior School, led us in prayer. It was indeed pleasing to see the Junior School invited to play a bigger role on this important day. This year's guest speaker was the distinguished Wynberg Old Boy, Mr Mendel Kaplan. In a well-received speech he referred to the present unrest in our country and emphasised that, if South Africans were to solve this country's problems, they would have to adopt an optimistic attitude and be prepared to communicate with one another in order to eliminate all forms of unjust discrimination.

Our Matric Dance was hosted by the Sheiks and Sultans of swing. The guests were invited to spend an evening in Arabia with music by Bagatelle. The theme, tt Arabian Nights", allowed free reign to the imagination as far as the hall decorations were concerned.

On the evening the hall was made up to resemble a nomadic Arab's tent. The 'oasis' bar was surrounded by a stream and could only be reached by crossing a bridge. Gold painted silhouettes of minarets covered the sides and back of the hall. On entering the hall one was stunned by an incredible replica of an Arabian street market. The waiters and waitresses were clothed in traditional Arabian dress.

In this sphere two people have to be singled out for the time they sacrificed in designing and constructing the decor. The result was splendid. Richard Townsend and Gary Rowan were ably assisted by numerous other matrics who also gave much time and effort. Amongst these were Michael Daly, Robert Meijer, Paul Watson and Philip livesey.

From the first waltz to the last dance, the evening proved to be yet another successful Matric Dance enjoyed by all.

The catering department was left in the hands of Mr Van der Merwe and his daughter, Michelle, assisted by the mothers. Mrs Daly is to be

A class-tree planting project, initiated this year by the Prefects, resulted in each class of the school planting a tree in the school grounds. At a special World fnvironmenr Day Assembly Or John Rourke, a Wynberg Old boy, delivered an inspiring address to the school and presented each class with a plaque to be fixed to each tree planted. In the photograph below, Grant Stevens, class captain of Std Bf, receives a plaque from Dr Rourke.

THE HEAD PREFECT'S REPORT Our year asprefects started off with the prefects leadership camp, which was held at Silverhurst. Here we were given a thorough grounding in many aspectsof prefectship and leadership. At the camp the prefects decided on two primary goals, to improve communication, and to improve school pride and spirit. These two goalswere further subdivided into several objectives and projects on which the prefect body worked. Braais and various sporting activities were organised for the various standards during the year. Civvy Day was once again a great success. Tree planting was organised so as to encourage a pride in our environment. These and many other smaller projects were aimed at improving school pride and spirit. 26

The event which did the school proud was the Inter-Schools Athletic Triangular in which we took part for the first time. At this event the boys cheered with gusto.

held at Sunrise Beach (Muizenberg), Mr A. Cross was selected for the Springbok life-saving boat crew. Mark Steven came in the top ten in three of his finals. Karl Thorne and Philip Killingbeck, both of FalseBay Life-saving Club, are two prominent nipper lifeguards. They contributed towards their team's first in the march-past and a third place overall in the competition.

The prefects also brought out a termly newsletter in an attempt to bridge the communication gap between boys and prefects. I would like to thank the prefect body for their hard work and dedication towards the school and the prefect body during the year. My special thanks goes to Andrew and Dean for their support throughout 1985.

1985 saw the start of the Life-Saving Society meetings held every two weeks during society periods. Interesting talks about life-saving were given by Mr Cross, Mr Creed, Mr Noot and Mark Steven.

In closing I would like to thank Mr Connellan and Mr Todd for their continual motivation and guidance over the past year. M.W.

It is hoped that many boys will obtain their S.P.A.(Surf Proficiency Award) Certificates. Let's hope that this community service and exciting sport flourishes rapidly at Wynberg and that it will reach the high standard of "Vigilance and Service" that is necessary for the safely of our beaches.

THE INTERACT CLUB After a shaky start to the year and a change in the leadership, the Interact Club is hopefully on its feet again. Anton Doyle and Warren Myburgh are the Co-Chairman and the club has a membership of 35 pupils from all standards.

M.S.

An address by Mr Allan Jeffes of Rotary and advice and contact from Mr John Vivian have provided the stimulus for what could be a new leaseof life.

THE STUDENTS CHRISTIAN UNION 1985 has seen the Wynberg Boys' Students Christian Union really grow in quality and quantity. Excellent work was done by Steven Granier and Mr Moore who provided the guitars for our Praise and Worship meetings. The singing was always enthusiastic and these meetings went a long way to increasing the numbers as boys found it easy to relax, forget about the trials and tribulations of school life for half an hour, and centre their thoughts on Jesus Christ.

Thus far the solitary project for the year is a newspaper collection but there are plans for a jersey appeal, now that winter wardrobes are being discarded, and a 24 hour endurance run. Most of Interact's involvement takes place over Christmas in providing clowns and workers for Rotary Christmas parties and at the beginning of the year at Carnivals. It is felt, however, that Interact should be using its own school population and environment if it is to become a school activity which makes all pupils socially aware.

In a school the size of ours it is so easy to go through school only mixing with one's own class or age group. But a predominant feature of the meetings this year was the mixing of boys from different standards. Very rarely was someone seen to be "left out".

THE LIFE-SAVING SOCIETY Master-in-Charge:

We have had a number of activities this year. They included The Big Dipper Competition, a visit to Rhodes Memorial Restaurant, a breakfast at the Cherokee Spur and the Camp held at Hout Bay in conjunction with the Girls' School at the end of the third term. The camp was a blessing to all who attended and was characterised by a tremendous spirit of unity.

Mr A. Cross

Chairman: Mark Steven Wynberg has always boasted many competent surf life-savers.This year Antony Pearceachieved provincial colours for surf life-saving and after the 1985South African ational Championships 27

successful. Some of the topies covered on the school were: The Cadet Band, subject choice, our societies, the choir and teachers at the school. Some other subjects covered this year were: Music, youth, UFO's, the Bermuda Triangle and humanity. Apart from these articles there has also been a competition in each magazine with a small prize for each winner.

At the end of this year we must thank all our Matrics. Dean Seeliger, in particular, deserves a special word of thanks for his unwavering zeal, and the way in which he, as chairman, kept the committee, and hence the SCU, on its toes and on the move. Thanks also go to Steven Granier for organising the music this year, and Paul du Plessis, Richard Catto and Dion Cockroft who all served on the Committee.

This year the production of "The WynbergianJJ has also seen major advancements. Instead of using a normal typewriter to type the articles, a computer is used. Once the articles are typed into the computer they are then stored on a diskette which enables all mistakes to be corrected with the greatest of ease. This has certainly saved a lot of time and trouble in the production of this magazine.

"THE WYNBERG.AN" This year "The WynbergianJJ had a very large staff to begin with. This enabled us to produce two magazines during the first term. Owing to exams and the loss of a few staff to other commitments, only one edition of the magazine was printed during the second term and this was the format for the rest of the year.

All in all "The WynbergianJJ has had a very successful run this year and my sincerest thanks to my staff and two assistant-editors, Andrew Fraser and Warren Butler. A. v. H.

PROFESSOR MICHAEL GELFANO

Staff: Robert Adshade, Bruce Fyfe,

The death of Professor Michael Gelfand in Harare on 19 July is the loss of a distinguished and respected old boy who, from humble beginnings, achieved many honours.

Sean Heathcote-Marks, Guy lundy, Grant Stevens This year has been a very successful year for the "Running Commentary". As is the custom, the Std 9's handed over the magazine to the apprenticed Std 8 staff at the end of the second term. It is also very pleasing to see the support we have had from our Sport Census and a thank-you goes to our Junior School for their co-operation with some of our articles. This year the "Running Commentary" has built up a healthy bank balance and so school Sports Clubs who are in need will be receiving donations. Our first donation will be going to the newly-formed Weightlifting Club. A final thankyou must go to the man behind the magazine, Mr Pretorius, without whom life as a school magazine journalist would be more difficult.

He matriculated in 1930 and during his school career he represented the school 1st teams at both rugby and cricket. After graduating M.B., Ch.B. at U.CT. he became house physician at the Harare Hospital in Salisbury and continued his service in a full-time capacity till his death whilst conducting a teaching ward round. During the '39 - '45 war he was made a Major in the B.S.A.Police and served his country in this capacity. He acted as a radiologist and also as pathologist, having obtained the M.R.CP. and also the D.M.R. during his training, thus demonstrating his versatility.

When the University of Rhodesia was established, he was appointed a Professor of Medicine. His speciality wasAfrican Medicine. He travelled the world and was consulted whenever African Medicine was discussed.

Since the publication of the 1984 magazine the P.T.A. has been active in several areas of assistanceto the School, but notably one project, the Timour Hall Carnival, rates special mention in three areas: Teacher, Old Boy, Pupil and Parent Involvement; Funds Raised; the Future.

CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CLASSROOMS A LmER TO THE ADULT WORLD (This piece of writing was adjudged the winning entry in the Senior Section of the School's Writers Competition.

So many parents today are too busy making money to worry about their offspring. It is easier to give your child R10,OOthan ten minutes of love and attention, and that money can be the means to enter the dark world of drugs, violence, sex and death. There are adults waiting to sell us drugs, liquor, sex or undesirable videos. They want money and couldn't care less about us, the children, buying their wares.

Dear Adults Since the dawn of history, you, the adults of the world, have criticised and found fault with us, the younger generation. We are told that we are the delinquents, drug addicts, hooligans, punks and that the future looks grim with such a generation becoming the men of tomorrow. Are we to blame? No, certainly not. We do not make the films and television programmes that promote violence, immorality and hatred. We do not write the books that are obsene nor do we make liquor, cigarettes and drugs so freely available. We are the victims of the older folks' greed for gain.

On the other hand there are so many of you that we must thank for your unfailing love and encouragement: mothers and fathers who care and understand, teachers who treat us as humans and not as robots to be programmed Of rocks to be hewn into shape, friends who do not desert us when we fail, grandparents who believe in us and our Creator who loves us. 30

Our future does not look rosy. Our world is polluted, chemicals are destroying our atmosphere, our flora and fauna and our bodies. Hatred is causing wars to erupt all over the globe and you have no option to place your hope and faith in us. We, in turn cannot turn back the clock, but we can try to undo your many wrongs and "clean up" where possible. But, of course, that still depends on you. It is not too late. You can start improving and paving the way for us. fight pollution and crime, support conservation projects, show us, your children, your love for us and show respect and love for your neighbours. Be an example for us to follow and with the help of God we will build a better world. Yours sincerely Concerned Teenager W. Macdonald, Std 9

THE PINE FOREST (The piece of writing was adjudged the winning entry in the Junior Section of the School's Writing Competition).

M. de Jongh, Std 10

The happy gurgling and laughter fills up the empty recesses of the mind, as the serene calmness of the pine-green forest settles upon me. The thick matted rug of misty pine needles delicately tiekies your nose. There are endless rows of symmetrical trees as they line the road of rOlling leaves.

SCHOOL AND I Having spent almost twelve years at school, I feel that it is now a good time to look back on this two-thirds of my life. There are many aspectsto consider - the systemthrough which I have passed,and the many enjoyable moments and disappointments which I have experienced. I am now in a good position to criticise the matric system. I feel that it is impossible to assess up to twelve years of work in as little as three hours per subject. Whether or not one believes in biorhythms, there can be no doubt that one is mentally sharper on one day than on another. Other external influencing factors also come into play - the home situation, the teacher, ete. Also, too many subjects test sheer memorising ability, rather than genuine talent in that subject. The onlyexceptions to this are English and, to a certain extent, Mathematics. This leads to a channelling towards puppet-like indoctrination, and often precludes understanding. The system should get marks from pupils - not vice versa.

A stunted red and white mushroom pushes its gross body through the thick undergrowth. There is authoritative knocking asa red-peaked cardinal digs its way on its forage for food. Yet the silence is still there, lurking in nearby COrnersof the forest, near trees which grope for you with their knobbly fingers at night. A lazy splash, and an iridescent rainbow trout with glazed eyes swims on its way to childhood. The distant sun penetrates the matted weave above, so it can give growth to the forest floor. A scuffle and a scurry - a bottlebrush squirrel whisks up its tree and into its lair. A fine infringement of delicate fern leaves from the banks of the stream. Where barefoot toes tread their way over the rug, a print of mankind is recorded. M. Venter, Std 7

Many think that people gO. hungry because Qf the scarcity Qf food caused by Qver-PQPulatiQn.

Besides, if glQbal estimates were to' be taken into. aCCQunt Qne CQuid argue that the transport CQsts are too great to' mQve such an amQunt Qf fQQd frQm Qne cQuntry to. anQther. What CQunts is whether adequate fQQd producing resQurces exist where peQple are mQst hungry.

The aim Qf modern educatiQn is, as Mr Algie has Qften stressed, the educatiQn Qf "the whQle pupil". This means participatiQn nQt Qnly in class, but in SPQrtsand cultural activities. This is the sphere which has brQught me the greatest satisfactiQn. HQwever, it is nQt any successes Qr particular incidents in this field which will remain with me fQr the rest Qf my life. If I were asked to' describe my impressiQn Qf school in Qne sentence, I WQuid say: "A place Qf peQple". It is this endless stream Qf characters - friends, teachers, enemies, classmates and acquaintances -which has enriched my life and prQvided the educatiQn fQr my "whQle" being. When I am Qld, and the incidents in my life have becQme unrecQgnisably jumbled, I am sure that mQst Qf the rich characters who. have graced my life will remain clear in my memQry.

The resQurces do. exist - Qnly about fQrty-fQur percent Qf the WQrld's cultivable land is nQW being cropped. Average grain yields in underdevelQped cQuntries are less than half Qf thQse in industrial cQuntries. Land which is presently harvested Qnce a year CQuid be harvested twice or more times in a year, depending Qn where it is situated. In mQst cases the barriers to' greater prQduction are nQt physical, but social. In the majQrity Qf the cQuntries where peQple go hungry, large landholders cQntrol most Qf the land.

If "tQQ many peQple" were the cause Qf hunger, we WQuid find mQre hungry peQple in cQuntries which have greater populatiQn densities. HQWever, in China, the mQst densely populated cQuntry in the wQrld, twice as many peQple live frQm each cultivated hectare than in India, and no. Qne starves.

NOISE POLLUTION

Ons het 'n binneband van 'n motor opgepomp en toe vir hom geroep. Toe hy uitkom, het hy sy oë styf toegemaak. Die weerkaatsing van die sonlig op die water was te helder.

Should city noise continue to increase at its present rate of one or more decibels per year, everyone will be stone deaf by the early stages of the twenty-first century. Today many people in large cities are already losing their hearing by the age of thirty, instead of at the original seventy years.

"Klim inl" het ons gesê. Hy loop stadig na die wal van die swembad en sit sy voet in, maar so gou soos blits trek hy dit uit. Toe begin hy weer. Net soos 'n trapsuutjies beweeg hy, tot alles behalwe sy kop onder die water is.

Sound is an important part of everyday life. It is our major form of communication and can cause reponses from all emotions, ranging from pleasure to annoyance and every physical pain. We each react to the same sounds in individual manners, according to what it means to us personally. Unwanted sound is called noise.

Toe gooi ons die binneband in. Hy gryp dit voor dit die water raak. Nou begin die tweede helfde van ons optog. Nou moet hy eintlik swem. My ma het ook ingespring, net om seker te maak dat niks hom sou oorkom nie. Hy het eers die breedte van die swembad geswem (met behulp 33

People need to be made aware of the damage that noise is causing not only to their own physical and emotional well-being, but also to that of the people whom they love. A. Cou/rhard, Std 9

Our lives are filled with all kinds of noise, which potentially hurt our bodies and minds as well as the other living creatures on the earth. It can even destroy non-living things such as glass and steel. Continued exposure to loud noise or music leads to permanent damage of the sensitive hearing organs. Noise also affects the digestive system, eventually causing stomach ulcers, and many other balances within the body are disturbed. Hormone production by the thyroid gland changes, causing hypertension and emotional upsets. Noise leads to kidney malfunctioning, impaired vision, dogged blood vessels and heart attacks. As Dr Knudsen, a well-known expert on noise pollution, once said, "Noise, like smog, is a slow agent of death." We have no natural defence against noise because our ears cannot close, and continue to receive sounds even while we sleep.

DIE TITANIC Die Titanic is 'n reuse skip en daar is miljoene plekke wat jy kan besoek. Op hierdie sonnige dag het ek besluit om 'n bietjie in die son te gaan lê en slaap. Ek het lomerig vorentoe geskuifel en in 'n gemaklike sonstoel gaan lê. Ek het wakker geword deur 'n harde stamp en dadelik het 'n skreeuende sirene tot lewe gekom. Eers het mense onseker rondgekyk en toe onthou wat die sirene beteken: gevaar! Die skip het onrustig open af gewiggel soos skreeuende mense rondgedwaal het in belang vir hul lewens. Die roepende stem van die kaptein het niemand gehoor nie. Mense het huilend gesoek na hul kinders of familie. Wat moes ek nou doen! Hardloopl Nee, ek het gou probeer om 'n idee te kry, maar nie een stukkie van my brein wou iets uitvoer nie. Toe ek wou opstaan om een van die dwalende skare te word, het ek gesien hoe die Titanic langsaam sink. Nou weet ekl Ons het 'n ysberg getref en êrens moet daar al tonne water in die skip wees. AI die ander mense besef dit nou ook en paniek is oral te bespeur.

Although great efforts to reduce noise are being made in many areas, the other areas are being neglected. Airports are introducing strict noise limits, forcing the aircraft industry to design quieter planes and pilots to take-off using lower power. In the home, though, many laboursaving devices add considerably to the total noise level. A noisy vacuum cleaner may be considered better than a quieter one, because it sounds stronger. Similarly, a noisy sports car may be thought to be more powerful. Factories and foundries can be made much quieter by applying modern methods and machines, and more aerodynamically designed vehicles reduce traffic noise considerably. Many of the public services, including the police, the fire brigade and the garbage collectors add unwanted noise to the neighbourhood along with the essential community services they provide.

Die gebrom van enjins het êrens dof in my ore geklink. Ja, natuurlik; dit is the reddingsbote. Toe heers daar 'n stilte en al wat jy hoor is stampende voete oor die dek. Sal ek dit maak? Sal hulle dit maak? Ja, een vir een het ons ingestruikel in die bote wat in die water dobber. 8. Ruwiel, Std 6

If we and our children to come want to remain sane and healthy, it is vitally important that we conquer noise pollution before it automatically solves itself by making us too deaf to hear it. People must be made aware that noise is a dangerous pollutant that can cause emotional stress and even death. Noise pollution is a worldwide phenomenon, but there are still too tew people who are prepared to spend time fighting. this menace. Many people believe noise is inevitable, even though it is not. If people can change their way of thinking and fight noise, they can win, although the victory will take time.

HOW TO PLEASEYOUR BABY SISTER SO THAT SHE IS ON YOUR SIDE C~ution: Before you attempt to please your baby sister so that she is always on your side, please make sure that all glass objects, valuable goods and pottery are in a safe place. The instructions that follow should please your sister: 1. If she starts crying, your first move would be to take her to the playground. 34

2. As seen in the above picture, taking your sister to the playground entails giving her a sweet, not making her walk, but pushing her in a pram that has no squeaky wheels, getting rid of little bugs and beetles that bother her and, last but not least, you must carry her on your shoulders when she gets tired of sitting in her pram. 3. Many more things are needed to please your sister e.g. instead of just opening the car door for her, you must never forget to lift her into the car aswell.

A CONCEPT OF NOTHING Tell me, what is nothing? It is nothing but a paradox. A dean image, it is dear; But once befouled by thought It ensnaresthe thinker in a myriad of contradiction, a sliminess of lost meaning, which should be nothing. But nothing cannot have no meaning, for it is in the having that it becomes something. Therefore, in a quest for nothing Do not think nothing.

All these instructions should help you in your great task of pleasing your sister. But al.ways remember: Be polite. Be prepared. Be patient.

THE MAGICAL AWAKENING

OF A FOREST

A melancholy mist weaves its way easily and deceptively through the matted network of wool and foliage. The sun tries vainly to bring vitality to the sodden undergrowth. Finicky bind les of mauve-coloured flowers scatter the deep, dark woodland arena as dewdrops drift harmoniously to the ground. A wind hissesthrough a road of daubly tangled shrubbery, awakening the silhouetted silence. Common brown squirrels scrimmage along the spongy, pine-needle floor, exploring the many forest chambers. Life bursts with enthusiasm,

cascading through flimsy, wind-weathered leaves. Tall oaks stand solemn, advertising their open boldness as a ray of sunlight begins to glitter through a suffocating web of dust. Particles flutter like snowflakes in jittering movements. As one views the scenic surroundings with mouth-open bewilderment the doors of your curiosity unlock and the meanings of life begin to blossom. P. Andrews, Std 7

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES, CLUBS AND SOCIETIES On Open Night the parents had an opportunity to admire the work of our enthusiastic members. A number of parents were interested and some confessed that they also practise calligraphy.

At the beginning of the year all the boys were asked what societies they would like to see at Wynberg. A variety of suggestions was forthcoming and we endeavoured to get them all off the ground. The majority of societies met in the Societies Period before lunch on Thursday with the option of going into lunch-break if they wished. In all, 26 societies met in this period during the year. A visitor walking around the school at this time would have been impressed by the variety of activity. There is a society for everyone at Wynberg and now it is up to the boys themselves to make them work successfully.

Although Mr O'Reilly was not physically present at the club this year, we thank him for his encouragement and enthusiasm. His lecture on the history of calligraphy was a highlight of the year. We hope to spend more time on illuminations and foreign calligraphy next year.

My thanks to all members of staff and society chairman who have helped get the Society Period into operation.

Under the chairmanship of Stuart Read this society had rather an active season. All pupils are welcome to attend the meetings. The society tries to cater for the needs of all the pupils. Topies such as career choices, university entrance and other tertiary education are discussed.Pupils are also welcome to request that a topic of their choice should be discussed.

THE BRIDGE CLUB The Bridge Club began tentatively this year. Although few boys could actually play the game, members were soon taught the basiesof play and some rudimentary bidding. By the end of the year some thirty-odd boys could boast of being able to play a hand confidently.

We had a number of addresses by various outside organisations. Among the subjectscovered were Teaching, Banking, Clothing Production Management and How to apply for a Position. Talks were very well attended.

Being a new club there is still much that can be done to improve the playing facilities. Seeing that the bridge players are here to stay, greater effort will be made in this direction next year. More emphasis, in future, will be place on improving the game of a few pupils who show a flair for bridge by spending more time on bidding conventions.

A careers evening was also held which was a great success. My thanks to all the pupils who' helped make this society the successit was. D.d.f.M.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY CLUB

LM.

The club hasa membership of about 20 budding archaeologists. The field is a very exciting one and meetings often turn into lively discussions. We started the year discussing the origins of man and visited the Archaeology Department at U.C.T. where we were given a talk by Prof. Andy Smith, an expert in the field of Stone Age Man. We were shown around their very interesting display room and were invited to contact the department again should we wish to accompany students to San painting sites in the more remote areas of the Cape. This sounds like a possible outing for the fourth term.

THE CALLIGRAPHY SOCIETY The club started off with 29 members this year, but soon settled to a steady, hard-working, 10 -15 dedicated members. The committee of four are Andrew Lamprecht (Chairman), Carl Heyns, Roy Ventura and Murray Johnson. Members who attend regularly include Ralph Greenlees, Richard apie, Sean Privett, Mark Rice, Kobus Visser and Gary Windo. 37

who can assist or give advice with this project are encouraged to approach the master-incharge with their suggestions.

We visited a dig in Newlands forest where U.C.T. students were uncovering the ruins of a forester's lodge, one of the earliest colonial cottages in South Africa. Other meetings involved topies such as Bushman paintings (a talk by Craig Esterhuizen), slides of Zimbabwe and discussions on Ancient Egypt.

Our sincere thanks go to our several speakers, to Vernon Everett and others for handling the film projection, and to Mr Connellan for permission to use his laboratory for the showing of the films.

I believe that Archaeology is an interesting, exciting field and, hopefully, the club will be even more active in future. A.T.

Happy comet watching! O.B.

THE ASTRONOMY SOCIETY

THE BIOLOGY SOCIETY

Master-in-Charge: Mr D. Bromberger

The original policy of the society at its inception this year was that members would use the time allocated for the study of anything that interested them. This would embrace activities such as dissections, experiments, microscope work and a myriad of other aspects of biological investigation. Ideally, members were to think about each meeting and plan to work on a project of their interest. Options such as the mounting of skeletons, injecting arteries and veins of organs with coloured latex, building models of animal parts and many more were spoken of as likely activities. It soon became clear, however, that members were not planning for meetings and they would arrive emptyhanded and unprepared. This was diagnosed as a teething problem of a new venture and a change of tactics was employed: The teacherin-charge would decide what was to be done. Instead of keeping a low profile and letting the pupils run their own society with him as adviser, the teacher is now the initiator of activities. However, it is hoped that, in time, the pupils will become more innovative.

Committee: P. van der Riet (Chairman), V. Everett, A. Bas, C. Collins. If black holes and hyperspace were all that Astrosoc supporters were interested in, then the society would long ago have folded. But, to their credit, members have shown an interest in a wide variety of topics. Speakers who have addressed the society include three members of the U.C.T. Astronomy Department. Dr. Kurtz spoke on UfO's and allied subjects, Prof. Fairall dealt with the galaxies and cosmology and Prof. Warner twice gave talks, one on variable stars and one on the planets. Other outside speakers we were privileged to hear were Mr Rupert Hurly, M.P.C., who spoke on how man reached the moon, and Dr. Peter Mack who explained a little about the telescopes astronomers use. On two occasions our master-in-charge handled meetings, once to conduct a quiz based on Patrick Moore's Astronomy Quiz Book (Did you know the sun is not burning?!) and once to introduce the issue "Is there life out there?"

B.C.

THE CHESS CLUB

Tapes and films were also used. A tape on "Black Holes" was played early in the year, and films such as "Cosmic Quest" and "The Universe" were screened. later in the year several parts of "Cosmos", Carl Sagan's popular T.V. series, were shown to attentive audiences.

The chess club has been very active during the Society Period with an average of 40 members each week. Extra boards were obtained to allow more people to play and a competitive spirit was engendered by recording results of all games, both challenges and social, in the register. An interesting feature of the meetings prior to the acquisition of extra new boards were the group matches where a team member played a group of other players. This allowed new players to discuss moves, learn the correct moves and see pitfalls.

lastly, mention must be made of something very exciting - a ten-inch telescope the society is acquiring. The school has paid for the lenses and reflector, but now Richard Coe and, hopefully, others will be constructing the telescope to house these opties. Any parents or old boys 38

assembly. The Senior Ensemble (known as the "Special Choir") participated in an all-day Choir Workshop at Wynberg Girls' High, to which the SACSChoir was also invited. A varied repertoire of early music, Negro spirituals and more contemporary songs was rehearsed and performed.

Unfortunately, the final tournament results will only be available later this year, but A and Band C teams have played well. Congratulations! l.F.K.

By now we were experiencing the "snowball effect". We were invited by the Girls' High School to sing there, and their excellent Choir joined us in a concert attended by our whole school. Meanwhile the Main Choir was steadily rehearsing for our Choir Concert early in the third term. At this the Altos performed the "Jonahman Jazz" and the whole Choir (with Special Choir singing the solos) performed tlCaptain Noah and his Floating Zoo". Both were expertly accompanied by Mr Norman Edwards. I think it was an evening we all enjoyed tremendously.

THE SCHOOL CHOIR The Wynberg Boys' High School Choir is alive and well ... and forging ahead. By the end "of the first term some 120boys sang Parry's "Jerusalem at a Sports Assembly. In the second term two representative groups (we were limited in numbers by the rules) were awarded Diplomas at the Cape Town Eisteddfod, and won the Cups for their sections, and the Senior group was invited to perform at the Prize Winners' Concert at the City Hall. These groups became the Junior and Senior Vocal Ensembles. The Junior Ensemble sang at the Republic Day

On Open Night the Choir sang again: perhaps the best overall performance by the Main Choir to date. On Founders' Day the Boys' Junior 39

Choir members at praaice

School joined our tenors and basses in the singing of an Anthem and the School Song. The snowball grew with a performance a week later at the Boys' Junior School. When I arrived at Wynberg I planned one main choral performance, and possibly a Carol Service at the end of the year. I hoped we would be able to sing at an Assembly occasionally... We have, in fact, given some dozen public performances (by the end of the third term) and we are planning a joint Carol Service with the Boys' Junior School and the Wind Ensemble in the fourth term. Our repertoire so far embraces three unison anthems, several varied songs, one 15-minute work and another 25-minute work. The fact that the Choir hasdone so much is due to several causes: Mr Algie and many of the staff, have shown an active and continuing interest \ from the beginning; the "Choir parents" have been very enthusiastic and helpful; the other Wynberg schools have been prompt in their invitations to us to join them. Above all, the boys themselves have given their own impetus to the Choir. They have made suggestions, created goals, and (mostly!) come willinglyand regularly to rehearsals. The "Special Choir" became a strong entity, attending weekly practices in the evenings. The altos are a lively group with some excellent voices (products of Junior Schoolswith strong choral backgrounds). The tenors and basses (over 70 of them) have

Accompaniment from Mr Norman fdwards

attended break-time practices,despite numerous other commitments. Our 26 Std 10 members (now "honourably retired") have given unfailing support. It has been an exciting year. All the Choir members have put in a great.deal of hard work, and I hope the experience they have had of the fun and joy of singing will continue. There is a wealth of great choral music waiting for them to explore. E.T.W. 40

THE COMPUTER CLUB

CHOIR RECITAL

The newly-formed W.B.H.S. choir made its choral debut to a fair-sized and appreciative audience.

From its beginnings in 1983 we purchased two BBCModel B micro-computers and one monitor. With these additions our computer room was rather cramped an~ we were assigned larger quarters.

The two works performed were "Jonah-man Jau" by Michael Hurd and "Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo" by Michael Flanders and Joseph Horovitz.

Whereas previously we have held afternoon classes in which we taught pupils the basic principles of computer programming we discontinued classes this year. The reasons for this are that practically all those who were keen to learn have been taught and our Standard six members have learned about computers at junior school.

The works were ambitious choices for a choral debut, but they were carefully directed by Miss Wise, well sung by the boys and skilfully accompanied by Mr Edwards. The alto voices only were used in "Jonah-man lau". Miss Wise kept a tight control over the tempi and knew exactly how fast "presto" could be before articulation became blurred. Once or twice the more fiendish oblique entrances were indistinct ("When Jonah sank into the sea"), but in "Jonah, Jonah", equally difficult sections were handled with great skill. Experience and increased confidence will surely rectify errors like these. The Senior Vocal voices for "Captain demonstrating the which senior voices

The Club has met fortnightly and we have shown videos of the various aspects of computer programming at these meetings. Several members of the Computer Club took part in the International Computer ProblemSolving Competition earlier this yer. As yet we have not received the results. This years committee consisted of M. Douglas, K. Hubbard, J. Bradley, C. Collins, R. Catto and T. Fuggle. Mr Rushby took charge of the Computer Club this year. Our warm thanks go to him. M.D.

Ensemble joined the alto Noah and his Floating Zoo", depth and body of sound give a choir.

This contemporarised narrative cantata imitated various jazz styles which included some impressive improvisations by Mr Edwards. Miss Wise guided the boys through long, seemingly breathless melody lines ("For the floodgates of heaven were opened"), a rapid and effective crescendo in "Forty days and nights" and the tongue-twisting "two-by-two" refrain at the end in "The Lord looked down" and "Oh what a wonderful scene".

THE FOLK MUSIC SOCIETY Providing an outlet for musical energy and ability, relaxing in the world of music and discovering various forms of music have been the aims of the society. Inspired by groups as diverse as Simon and Garfunkle, Dire Straits and U2, the Wynberg group has combined to make its own music, often with dramatic results.

"For the Lord closed the floodgates" was off to an uncertain start but the instantaneous recovery by the choir is to their credit.

Starting a new society is a step into the unknown, but at Wynberg the talent is there. This was apparent at the Festival and on Open Night when our "Scarborough Fair" and "Streets of London" were well received.

Congratulations to Patrick Walton, the narrator in "Jonah-man Jau", and Gregory Prior, who sang all the female parts in "Captain Noah" in a humorous and sure-pitched falsetto.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the society has been the range of musical instruments involved. Guitars abound, with two flutes, a clarinet and a penny-whistle giving depth to the tone. At times we even had a vibra-phone at rehearsals.

The choir are to be congratulated not only on the obvious success of their performance on the 8th and the ringing clarity they achieve, but also on the way they show their loyalty to the choir by attending practices regularly. The joy they take in their singing is infectious.

With the Folk Music Society now a part of school life, we look forward to a new year of music in many forms. M.M.

Miss Wise has worked a wonder in seven short months. ).F.K. 42

THE DEBATING SOCIETY Members of the Debating Society represented the school at all the major competitions this year. Anton van Heerden represented us at an inter-schools competition held at Sans Souci, while Tim Connellan spoke at a debate organised by the Guild of Speech and Drama teachers. We were represented at the annual Forum Discussion Contest by Tim Connellan, Kenneth Wiid, Michael Hattingh, John Mills and Chris Whelan. later in the year Kenneth Lloyd, John Mills and Anton van Heerden debated against SACS. Tim Connellan won the Senior Best Speaker's Competition this year, while the Junior Competition was won by Mark leach and Brent Topat.

The "Inspector Hound" cast

"THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND" Directed by Joe Koekemoer 10th, 11th and 12th April, 1985

C.).H.

My initial reaction to tpe news that the school would be attempting Ă&#x201C;ne of Stoppard's plays this year was that the director had certainly set himself a daunting and ambitious task. But any misgivings I had had were soon dispelled by Joe Koekemoer's delightful production which cantered along at a lively pace on the evening I saw it. While many of the playwright's allusions may have been lost on the school pupils in the audience, there was plenty of "business" on stage to keep the audience entertained.

DRAMSOC Allan Gottgens Secretary: John Mills Committee: Kenneth Wiid, Colin Gottgens, Bruce Postings, Andre Kotze, Julian Simpson Chairman:

Those boys who involved themselves in Dramsoc activities during 1985 worked hard and were rewarded with splendid results. Planning for 1986 has started already and the new committee will take over from the '85 Dramsoc Committee during the final term of this year.

Joe Koekemoer and Gregory Prior were most entertaining in their portrayals of the two hack critics, Moon and Birdboot. Unfortunately some of their dialogue in the early part of the performance was inaudible, probably owing to

At present it is too early to say what the major production for next year will be, but it will be a production which involves more Dramsoc members than "The Realinspector Hound", the major production for 1985.

8irdboot (Gregory Prior) is sent sprawling

Although Dramsoc participation in the one-act play festival this year was disappointing, the members of the society made up for it in Festival '85. More than three quarters of the society took part or helped back-stage. A pleasing number of junior boys were prepared to help whenever it was necessary. Brent Hudson deserves special mention for his mature direction of the winning One-Act Play, "The Exception and the Rule". A warm word of thanks to all the parents who fetched, carried and helped where they could. A few need to be mentioned by name: Mr and Mrs J. Simpson, Mrs C. Dreyer, Mr M. Oberholzer, Mrs L.J.c. Holland and Mr Wiid. J.F.K.

the position in which they were sitting. However, this problem tended to disappear as the two critics became more and more involved in the action on stage. Joe Koekemoer's confident portrayal of the neurotic and agitated Moon was most effectively complemented by Gregory Prior's bumbling Birdboot. Prior's amusing performance was greatly enjoyed by the audience.

The acts that followed catered for all tastes. There was the novel Lingering lingerie, Mark leach's amusing rendition of Pollution, the entertaining dancing at Maxims and the innovative puppet presentation. The Africa Solo was entertaining while the Folk Music group's performance was most enjoyable. The Wind Ensemble then performed most competently under the baton of Norman Edwards. The rest of the first-half programme consisted of an effective interlude featuring Patricia, a Gregory Prior song and an unusual Hitler.

The Girls' High trio certainly distinguished themselves. Gayle Shifrin's crusty Mrs Drudge was a real gem. Gayle has a rare ability among teenage actresses, that of being able to act convincingly the part of an aged person.

After interval there was Fanfare, while on the Friday night Vena Wise and Norman Edwards entertained. The audience then enjoyed an inspirational Turkey, a humorous stop in India, some rather surprising and, oh so apt, staffroom puppets, a fun-filled Solshey ballet and polished dance routines in The Night Chicago Died. Marcello the Magician was a delight, Miss Thoroughgood sang sweetly, while obscure Alternatives provided impact and originality. The show moved to an end with vibrant dancing in Starlight Express followed by a confident rendition of New York, a vigorous Metal Sender dance sequence and a joyful spectacle at the Rio Carnival.

Camilla du Preez's splendid portrayal of the emotional, but rather bewildered, Lady Cynthia Muldoon had just the right amount of caricature in it while Alison Simons as Felicity Cunningham displayed both acting talent and a pleasing stage presence. Mark Leach handled the difficult role of the romantic, yet suspect, Simon Gascoyne very well. Both Grant Dreyer as the conceited, muddle-headed Inspector Hound and Michael Kunz as the ominous-sounding Major Magnus Muldoon were more than competent. Even Steven Hall as the Body must be congratulated on his enduring qualities! The set was most impressive, both in design and construction and the lighting and sound effects were skilfully handled.

Well done to Joe Koekemoer and cast. Your hard work and talent provided a memorable evening. C.].H.

Costumes were, on the whole, suitable, though I did find Felicity Cunningham's evening dress a little too exotic for an English country manor and Simon Gascoyne could have been more stylishly dressed.

With Compliments

However, these minor matters did little to detract from a production which showed much evidence of imaginable and painstaking direction on the part of Mr Koekemoer and enthusiasm from a group of young players who seemed to be enjoying the performance. Congratulations

to all involved.

P.E.D.

FESTIVAL '85 Joe Koekemoer and his cast are to be congratulated on a highly ambitious festival programme that launched itself breezily and with technical ingenuity. The sound effects and impact of the take-oH were most impressive.

THE GERMAN SOCIETY

in improving the general standard of other members. On Open Night the Gymnastics Club gave a successful demonstration to interested spectators. A.G.c.

The aim of the German Society is to teach the pupils to develop a grasp of the type of German they would come across in everyday situations. The classes were crammed with pupils at the beginning of the year, but once the novelty had worn off about thirty more serious pupils attended regularly. At this stage of the year their progress has been most satisfying and they are certainly able to book hotel rooms, order in restaurants, follow directions, etc.

THE HISTORY SOCIETY Thanks to the Societies Period every Thursday, we have been able to meet regularly this year and many of our meetings were of a particularly interesting nature. At the Israeli Embassy this year, the fortieth anniversary of the Liberation of the Concentration Camps in Europe was commemorated and some members of our Society were allowed the privilege of seeing material concerning the campswhen they visited the Embassy. Mr Johan Louw was also responsible for two meetings. On the first occasion the meeting was held in the Metalwork drawingroom (where the History Society joined the Magpie Club). Mr Louw then proceeded to show us his collection of military artifacts (from the two great wars and before). On the second occasion he gave a talk on Delville Wood informative and, at times, humorous. Another meeting which I'm sure will be remembered for a long time was when we were addressed by Mr H.C. Farrow a South African who fought at Delville Wood.

Members:

This Society was last heard of in 1982,under the leadership of Mr R. Hewitt. Three years later it is going at full pace again and boastsan attendance of about 50 pupils a week. The committee put together some exceptional programmes for each term with items ranging from slide shows to debates on controversial topics to films. Whenever the committee could not arrange a speaker Mr Evawould always help out by showing us an interesting film.

One meeting which will definitely remain in my mind was our final one for 1985when we staged a heated debate on the Conscription Issue. To fill the few gaps in our programme some episodes of tiThe World at War" were screened.

The slide shows were on Marine Biology, Europe, the Himalayas and Nuclear Energy. Debates were held on the Koeberg Power Station and uclear Energy. The films ranged from mountain climbing to viticulture to mining to the different types of soil. Many outings were planned, but failed to materialise.

In conclusion I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr Pretorius, our Master-in-Charge, for his unfailing supply of ideas and encouragement, and to our members for their valued Support. M.H.

In conclusion, the committee would like to thank Mr Evafor his encouragement and assistance.

1985saw the start of this society and a number of members contributed a great deal. The highlight of our year was undoubtedly Mr Mike Trow's demonstration of the building of scenery. Wayne Trow was the mainstay of our society with talks on the making of buildings and trees. He also arranged guest speakers. As a result of these meetings a number of members are now taking an active role in modelling. A.B.

THE GYMNASTICS CLUB This year saw the reintroduction of the Gymnastics Club, which meets every second week during the Societies Period. It was encouraging to note the enthusiasm and interest shown by the members of this Club. Alan Daly, who has had plenty of experience in competitive gymnastics,is the best gymnast in the club and assists 45

CECILIA RIDGE

THE IRON-MAN CLUB

A mixed group of boys and girls left the Kirstenbosch Upper gates on a wet Sunday morning. After negotiating Cecilia Ridge we had a cold lunch (in both respects) in the caves at the top of Nursery Buttress. Fortunately, when we reached the concrete road just beyond the reservoirs, the sun came out and we walked the final stretch down to civilisation in very welcome sunlight. Everybody agreed that although it was raining at times it was a very enjoyable hike.

The Iron-Man Club is a very recent development in the school. Mr A. Cross proposed the idea and a committee, consisting of Kenneth Lloyd, Andrew Frazer, Shaun Leibowitz and eil Salt, were responsible for the launching of this new venture. The upper floor of the gymnasium was cleared and rearranged and a meeting was held for all those interested. Two groups of 7 boys each, now lift weights twice a week, following a programme drawn up by Mr Cross. The school will be receiving 15 sets of new weights at the beginning of 1986, so prospects for the future of this club are bright.

DUIKER POINT RIDGE In another mixed venture a big group hiked up to Hout Bay's Duiker Point Ridge and came down Southern Peak. The walk, to begin with, was easy going, but soon involved minor climbs. The view at the top of the ridge was magnificent. A steep route down brought the hike to an end for a sunburnt and scratched group who all had great fun.

This year the Mountain Club has been extremely active, thanks to Mr Morris's enthusiasm. This year has also heralded hikes with the Girls' School, a Mountain Club first.

SWELLENDAM TRAIL During the June holidays (and fortunately between cloudbursts) the Mountain Club hiked around the Swellendam Mountains. The days were very pleasant and the huts were in a very good condition. We walked an average of 15 km every day, up and down some extremely steep mountains. During the last few days there were pools in which we had very brief swims. Most people were kept awake during the fifth and final night and a very tired and much fitter group came back to the bus for a very hearty lunch.

LION'S HEAD During the first term a large group of us climbed Lion's Head one evening. It was an enjoyable trip and the view was spectacular, climaxing in the sunset. Unfortunately the moon was covered by clouds, so our "moonlight descent" was not to be. However, we all reached the car park safely in the dark. 46

OUTENIQUA

TRAIL

PISCATORIAL SOCIETY

During the April holidays the Mountain Club, along with the Girls' School Mountain Club, set off for the Outeniqua Mountains between Knysna and George. We camped at Farleigh on the first night and set off for Millwood hut the following morning. The path led through unspoilt indigenous forests for most of the day. We reached Millwood early and explored some old mine tunnels. Millwood was itselÂŁa small town during the gold rush of 1800. We experienced an impressive thunderstorm which lasted for several hours before clearing the following morning. We had a stiff uphill on Jonkersberg which exhausted most of the party. Before reaching the end point, Diepwalle, we were fortunate to come acrosssome KnysnaElephants' droppings. After spending the night at Diepwalle, we set off for Cape Town after a most rewarding hike.

The Piscatorial Society is a club which unites the four main categories of fishing. The categories are: spearfishing, deep-sea game fishing, rock and surf fishing and fresh-water fishing. It enables the enthusiastsof each category to learn something new about another sphere of angling. The society meetings have been a great success. We have had speakers from each category explaining how their sport is handled. We have also had various video films ranging from underwater photography to fresh water fishing. In the club we have a number of budding experts. John Rowberry caught an Atlantic Big Eye Tuna of 61,5kg on a 36kg line. (This is a Western Province and South African record). We also have Alan Dixon who has W.P. Junior Colours for fresh-water angling. Members have made several very good suggestions which, hopefully, will be put into practice next year. One of the ideas is that we have various competitions between members and then select a Wynberg team to compete against other schools. ).v.w.

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY At the end of 1984 a committee was elected under Mr Paterson's regime. At the beginning of 1985the darkroom was moved to the media centre. It took R. Austen and his crew a long time to get it shipshape. Eventuallythey succeeded and the last coat of paint was applied in August.

THE PRINTING SOCIETY The Printing Society started this year during societies period. The aim of this was to learn to use Silkscreen print techniques with a view to providing posters for various school functions during the year. A society like this needs people who are prepared to put in time after school hours for designing, printing and cleaning up, as thirty minutes a week is not enough. Unfortunately the majority of members were not prepared to do this and the printing society was not nearly as productive as it might have been. We did, however, produce posters for most major events. P.M.

Competitions were held in August and September. These were well supported despite, on the part of some members, a lot of talk and no work. Morris, Keehn, Eddy, Austen and Bartie are among the more consistent workers. Of course the tendency today to shoot a lot of colour and thus avoid real photography, which is the use of the darkroom, is strong. Little is achieved by this; few skills are learned, and the appreciation of tones is never acquired.

THE SCIENCE CLUB

The photographic meetings organised became somewhat like lessons. No notes were taken, nor was there any kind of desire exhibited to become truly conversant with aspectsof camera work. The tendency to sit and be amused was strong in 1985.

2. The work load on the committee members organising these demonstrations was greatly increased and their resources were often stretched. In this regard special mention must be made of Craig Collins, who proved to be an able organiser, administrator and leader.

The Science Club can also take pride in having Vernon Everett as one of its prominent members. Vernon came 14th in the National Science Olympiad and earned himself a trip overseas for his achievement. In the club itself he was responsible for ordering and showing films, a service which is much appreciated.

to the Science Club

The previous pattern of individual work during breaks, standard lecture demonstrations and film shows could not continue as it had. It now became regular weekly meetings, open only to those in the Science Society. This was in some ways an improvement in that members met regularly. However, it did have two other effects:

Projects from Phillip Herrington, Nelson da Silva, Mathew Warren, Bryan Baxter, Gregory McGarrick, Andrew Cowey, Niel Weckesser, John Ross-Munro, Vernon Everett and Warren Myburgh, Tony Massella and Craig Collins have been entered in the G.E.C. Science Expo. Unfortunately the Expo is still to be held and so no comment could be made at the time of writing this report.

1. The limited time caused the average member to be a "looker" rather than a "doer". This is a serious problem which the club is trying to remedy.

The Ten Club of 1985,which consisted of twelve members (sevenmatrics and five standard nines), proved to be a very good conversation group.

May the Ten Club go from strength to strength. M.H.

The usual format for a meeting (of which there were two a term), was one discussion beginning at 7p.m., followed by a break at 8.30p.m. before beginning a second discussion which brought the meeting to a close at 10p.m.

Most of our discussions were very interesting and there were several which were extremely provocative: Andrew Scorey spoke about surrogate mothers and test-tube babies, Chris Whelan introduced the topic of exploitation of the Amazon Basin, and Steven Granier gave us the factson Creation or Evolution. Marc Wiederkehr spoke on Influx Control in South Africa.

We had 88 members at the beginning of this year but we had to cut this to 60 members. We are at present members of SAPPEA,the Botanical Society of S.A. and the Wildlife Society of S.A. We also intend becoming members of the S.W.A. amibia Trust.

In conclusion I would like to expressmy gratitude to Mr and Mrs Connellan for providing the venue for our meetings and to the members of

This year, so far, we have had two speakers. The speaker from Beauty Without Cruelty revealed some of the horrifying facts about the cruelty of experiments done on animals. We have also 49

been able to show quite a few films on conservation. In addition each member completed a project on a game park. Some splendid projects were produced.

It was a five day camp of lectures, hikes and enjoying nature. The seminar was very rewarding and enjoyed by all. We recently had a reunion of all those who went to De Hoop at the new Wildlife headquarters in Tokai.

The highlight of our 1985 programme was having our own evening of music during which members of the ensemble entertained an appreciative audience. The ensemble played a number of Mr Edward's arrangements, and guest artists Sally Presant, Chris Nichols, Leslie Cravan, Terens Kerns and Charles Howell performed William Walton's "Facade", one of the few times it has been performed in Cape Town. This was followed by Mr Edward's delightful arrangement of "Jan Pierewiet".

For the fourth term we plan to have two more speakers and we hope to go on a camp. We have great hopes for the future of this club. B.S.

THE WIND ENSEMBLE

The Wind Ensemble once again took part in the Cape Town Eisteddfod, where we obtained an Honours award. Our contribution to the Festival was a rollicking selection of beer-drinking songs. Other school functions at which we played

Although the performances were fewer in number than in previous years, they did provide the band with good practice for the competitions. One disappointment wasthe cancellation of the performance in EastLondon because of a clash in dates with the Good Hope Centre Competition.

The ensemble has once again reached a high standard of performance, thanks to the encouragement and dedication of our Musical Director, Mr Norman Edwards, and the enthusiasm of its members. I am certain that the Wind Ensemble will move from strength to strength as there are many promising young musicians to replace those who matriculate this year. S.G.

THE WOODCARVING

The Cadet Band went on two camps during the year. The first camp was held at Wattle Park, Noordhoek from 10 - 11 May to allow the senior and junior bands to get to know each other. The second camp was held at Westlake from 16-18 August to allow the senior band to prepare for the competition.

SOCIETY

The Regional Competition was held at Muizenberg High School on 7 August. The band won 6 out of 6 trophies and obtained an overall percentage of 83,7. They won the following trophies:

After a shaky start this Society hasbecome quite well established. A nucleus of about seven keen woodcarvers meet every Thursday in the woodwork room. These boys have shown a lot of interest and several have shown quite a talent in this direction.

From mortise chisels and pine off-cuts they are progressing to fine woodcarving chisels and better wood. Severalhave started bigger projects at home. (We hope that the parents of David Pinkus won't mind his beautification of their chairs!)

The final in the Western Province Command Cadet Band Competition was held at the Good Hope Centre on 24August. On this occasion the band won 11 out of 11 trophies and increased their overall percentage to 90,4. They won the following trophies:

House Committee:

At our annual athletics meeting we did not achieve outstanding results; P. Kotze won the U -16 long jump and I. Harris, our most successful athlete, won the U -14 lOOm, 200m and the BOmhurdles races. We ended up 4th on Sports Day.

At the "Seven-a-Side" rugby matchesour players gave their all. Our house did very well to end up 2nd. W. McDonald deservesspecial mention for his performance. Other house members who deservespecial mention are: G. Mulder (squash); P. van der Riet (hockey); J. Mills (public speaking) and C. Hammond and C. Whelan (Veld and Vlei).

The inter-house waterpolo was a disaster and we ended up last. Our swimming improved greatly and we achieved 3rd place at the gala. C. Hammond did weil to win the U -19 lOOm backstroke. A. Pearse did his house proud by winning bath the U -16 200m freestyle and breaststroke.

A special word of thanks goes to all House members for their support and loyalty, and to our House Committee for their hard work.

Our cricketers did well to end up joint 2nd. At squash we beat all of the other houses and

the top ten of each standard. They were P. Mills (1st in Standard 6), P. Carey (Standard 7), D. Mills and S. luyt (Standard 8) and M. Stein beck (Standard 9). Well done to all of them.

Once again the Littlewood pack of eighty boarders lead the field in many aspects of schoo~ life. Littlewood celebrated her tenth year as an mdependent house and commemorative vests were proudly worn on Sports Day when we were narrowly beaten into 3rd place. As usual, the boarders lead the cheering on the stands.

Our congratulations must go to Brent Hudson who did a supeYb job in directing the winning one-act play this year. His hard work and the efforts of the cast and crew earned them a welldeserved honour. Littlewood was once again much involved in the 1985 Festival. The matries boarders provided their "Bolshe Ballet", which was one of the highlights of the show, where Mr Moore also proved to be a talented folk-singer.

The enthusiasm of the boarders was carried through to the inter-house swimming gala where we obtained a well-deserved second place. The house won six cups, two of these in the exciting relays.

In concluding, I wish to record the thanks of the boys of littlewood to the following:

littlewood did exceptionally well to come second in squash, tennis, waterpolo and crosscountry. Then, as the underdogs in the hockey, both senior and junior teams caused an upset when neither of them conceded a game. littIewood has now come first in the hockey for three consecutive years. The team was superbly captained by the only Littlewood first team representative, Kevin Price.

Mr Algie, our Superintendent, for the important role he plays, our hostel masters, Messrs Paterson, Petersen and Moore for their interest and enthusiasm, Mrs Algie for her organisation of the hostel laundry, Matron Smith, Sister de Klerk and the hostel maids for all they do for us, the non-resident masters, Messrs Greenwood, Eva and Bing for their interest and Mr Jack Schoeman, who looks after our spiritual needs. My personal thanks must go to my fellow prefects and all littlewoodians for their support this year. M.S.

One of the highlights of the second term was in the academic sphere when littiewood walked off with first place in the inter-house competition. We had a number of representatives in

Finally, to all those whom I have omitted to mention, those who so unselfishly gave their time and energy to Van Riebeeck, thank you. K.).P.

WELLINGTON HOUSE House Captain: Marc Wiederkehr

Wellington started off the year very well by winning both the swimming and water-polo and coming second in the athletics. However, our cricket, tennis and academic results were disappointing, so we ended third overall at the end of the first term.

Results wise this has not been a great year for Rhodes House, but it has been a full year with participation from most of our members. We look forward to a better year in 1986. A.B.

In the second term we did well to win the crosscountry, though our squash, tennis and hockey were disappointing. Our inter-house play was very good, and Gregory Prior and his cast must be congratulated. We finished fourth overall at the end of the second term.

VAN RIEBEECK HOUSE Master-in-Charge: Mr K. Pretorius Housemasters: Mrs J.Redlinghuys, Messrs D. de

la Mare, J. Blom, H. Jonker, P. Midlane and D. Meyer House Captain: D. Seeliger

In the third term we tied for first place in the Public Speaking Competition as well as in badminton. We came third in the inter-house rugby, and would have done much better if the senior team had not been hit by injuries. However, the juniors did very well to remain unbeaten.

Although everything hasnot gone aswell aslast year with Van Riebeeck House, we, the present holders of the Friedlander Shield, still hope to be the holders of this trophy by the end of this year.

I wish to thank every boy who participated for the house in whatever capacity - every contribution is a meaningful one. A special word of thanks to Marc Wiederkehr, who was a truly outstanding nouse captain. G.J.H.

The year started well with our winning of Sports Day. This was very much a house effort asthere were no great stars. A splendid example of this team effort is the way in which we won the tug-of-war. 56

SCHOOL SPORT ATHLETICS 1985 saw one of the biggest squads of athletes ever at Wynberg. Although we did not start the year with a tour, the athletes showed great enthusiasm from the start.

An enjoyable meeting held at Wynberg was the triangular between Bishops, St. Joseph's and Wynberg. We took second place to Bishops who produced some good performances.

This year emphasis was made on the actual enjoyment of athletics and sportsmanship. One factor which contributed to this was the involvement and participation of our four coaches Messrs Pretorius, Hili, O'Reilly and Moore, who not only spent hours organising various meetings but actually got physically involved by joining in many practices.

At the end of the first term the following boys received awards: S.McDonald K. Wiid - BluĂŠs G. Stevens R.Dews M. von Bentheim - Colours B. Postings Congratulations to them and to all those prize winners on Sports Day. Well done, also to Van Riebeeck House who emerged as winners. I hope the high standard of athletics and the great spirit which emerged this year will remain in the squad for years to come. K.W.

Through the year the athletes competed in various meetings. The highlight wasthe Triangular Schools Meeting involving Bergvliet, Fish Hoek and Wynberg. Boys who performed weil at this meeting were, S. McDonald, T. Davies, C. Smith and G. Stevens(record).

CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING Master-in-Charge:

K.). Pretorius

Nothing but praise can be bestowed on the 1985 cross-country team. They have brought the school much honour. The achievements of the cross-country team are due more to team effort than individual performances. Throughout the season the boys worked hard and attended practices regularly. All this hard work is shown in the following achievements:

Sean Kouhof(.

All these achievements would not have been possible if it were not for assistance of Mr Hill, Mr O'Reilly and especially the enthusiastic Mr Moore. It is thanks to Mr Moore's dedication that the tour to Durban was made possible and that the boys did so well. With talented runners like Stephen Vale, Robert Vaughan, Scott MacDonald, Sean Kotthof, David Vaughan and Clive Hall still with us next year, we are looking forward to a successfuI1986. K.}.P.

Andrew Symmonds was awarded the Western Province Under 15 Singles Championships Cup this year. My thanks to Mr P. louw for helping with practices and matches and to Mr Meyer for taking matches on Fridays.

BADMINTON

H.).

For two successive years Wynberg has had a first team in the A league and a second team in the C league. The C league players had to close a huge gap to play in the A league. The result was that a large number of games were lost in the second term. This w~s corrected in the third term, when the matches were more competitive and the results improved.

CYCLING The Cycling Club was not very active this year, as I had a knee operation and was out of cycling for the first half of the year. Our top cyclists worked hard for the Argus Cycle Tour and did well in the race, especially Sean Batty, Van de Wel and Robert Gomm. We will be starting training early in the fourth term and will have two organised training rides a week in preparation for the major cycling events - the Tour. de Milnerton and the Argus Cycle Tour. The Old Boys Union has organised a race which is due to take place in the September holidays. This promises to be an enjoyable event.

Practices are now held in the school gymnasium as well as in John Tyers Hall in Kenilworth where every player has an opportunity to practise on a court.

P.M.

CRICKET "Behind the batting styles of the masters are years of hard work and dedication. I have often been told that a player like Barry Richards was naturally gifted and never had to work for his success. The spectator has, of course, never seen the many hours Richards spends in the nets, working at his problems, eliminating weaknesses." So comments Vincent van der Bijl in his autobiography, 'Cricket in the Shadows'. They are words which all young cricketers at Wynberg can take to heart. 1ST BADMINTON

We know that there are many talented cricketers at Wynberg. There are even some who, one day, will have the potential to represent their province at Newlands. Yet we all know that talent is not enough in the sporting world. There must also be perseverence.

e. Upton (Captain), Mr K. Richardson

this year, which shows that the game is in a healthy state. The house matches were played on a limitedavers basis on a Saturday during the 1st term. As always, they were keenly contested, with Van Riebeeck winning the Junior section and Wellington the Senior.

Those members of staff who give up hours of their time to the game. Mr Stovold, our professional coach, whose enthusiasm, experienced advice and dedication have been very evident in his seven seasons at Wynberg. Mr Payne and his grounds staff for a superb job. Mrs Daphne Connellan for organising teas for all home games. Mrs Upton for the provision of 1st XI lunches. Budge and Kidweil who organised workers in the kitroom. The parents for transport, leas, lunches and valued support.

1st XI 1985

C. Upton (Capt.) - Nuffield player with much experience. Must accept responsibility and score "big" runs consistently. Weakness outside off stump. Improving captain and useful change bowler.

Fielding practice

P. Up/on (Vice-Capt.) uffield player. Strong aggressive player. Capable of taking any bowling attack apart. Potential match winner. Must aim for lOO every innings. Attitude improving. G. Budge - Worked hard at his game. Practises well. Good off-spinner; developed a useful arm. Batting improved - must now score more runs. Good slip fielder.

T. Connellan - Talented player - has not achieved full scoring potential. Good fielder, competitive.

respectively. They are ably assisted, however, by Van Shalkwyk (4/97) as opening bowler, and Finneran (4/25) who ought to have been taken into the team earlier in the season.

C. Byme - Solid batsman. Must refrain from "rush-of-blood" when facing spinners. Sound wicket-keeper.

Our thanks go to all parents who supported the team and who helped with the provision of teas. De~1s of Games: vs Fairmont (2/2, Home) - Wynberg 1n (Van Schalkwyk 45, Haskin 32, Marais 19, KidweIl16). Fairmont 141 (Tibbs 6/28, Van Shalkwyk 2124) Result: Won by 36 runs.

G. Mulder Good seam bowler - moves ball both ways - has developed a yard more pace. Reliable batsman in tricky conditions. W. Freimond - Good all-rounder. Opens bowling - always gives 100%. Must not waste early deliveries. Capable batsman, if somewhat limited. Good fielder.

(9/2, Away) - Wynberg 132 (Marais 51, Power 34, KidweIl 30). Rondebosch 133/5 (Tibbs 5/23) Result: lost by 5 wickets.

- Talented bowler - good high action, but needs to get into a sideways position more to allow the ball to move both ways. Has not really worked at his game sufficiently. Important season ahead. More dedication and hard work needed.

3RD XI CRICKET

W. Oldroyd - Good off-spinner. Flights ball well. A solid batsman who has worked hard at his game.

After a very successful fourth term in 1984 in which this side only lost one match, the spirit and standard remained very good.

left-arm spinner. Useful bowler who must not try too many variations. Needs more rhythm in his action. Keen, reliable player who likes to hit the ball.

The 3rd XIapproached every Saturday positively. Th~ only bad game was the last match against Fish Hoek 2nd XI where no fewer路 than 10 catches were dropped.

Developing player. Must work his game and develop his leg-spin.

The team was very well captained by C. Whelan. The most consistent player was P. v.d. Riet, with a batting average of 25,6. The best bowlers were J. Adamo (17 wickets) and A. Finneran (16 wickets). The most improved player was G. Gold.

2ND XI CRICKET The 2nd XI had a short but very successful season in the first term of the year with the captaincy, the luck of the toss, the solid batting and the penetrative bowling all playing their role in securing three wins out of a possible four.

Results (1984 - 1985): vs Fairmont 2nd XI : won by 62 runs vs Rondebosch : draw vs Dominican Grimley : won by 17 runs vs Milnerton 2nd XI : won by 8 wickets vs Henlia 2nd XI : won by 7 wickets vs Bishops : lost by 2 wickets vs SACS: won by 9 wickets vs Plumstead 2nd XI : won by 5 wickets vs Fairbairn 2nd XI : won by 9 wickets vs Dominican Grimley : won by 75 runs vs Bishops : won by 9 wickets vs W.B.H.S. 2nd XI: won by 90 runs vs Fish Hoek 2nd XI : draw

Firstly, Peter van Schalkwyk held his men together with a mixture of example, firmness, good sense and good leadership. Best batsmen were Marais, loxton, KidweIl and Power, while Van Schalkwyk, Keylock and Haskin all showed they could face the bowling with confidence. With respect to the bowling, the honours go chiefly to Tibbs and Hayes, with 11/73 and 10/76 64

V.P.

Although we lost the first match against Herzlia, we beat three schools in a row after that

Hopwood batted weil scoring 20 against Rondebosch, 20 against Bishops and 25 against Groote Schuur. He also bowled well and his best performance 6/17 in 15 overs against Rondebosch was an outstanding performance. Against SACS he took 4/20 in 90vers. Godden's best performance when he took 4/56. We are confident coming season.

Players like Bland, Esterhuizen and Turbit (Captain) gave pleasing performances. P.L. UNDER 1SA CRICKO

In contrast lO 1964, the Under 15A cricket XI had a most disappointing season. Although the team did lose a few players, they did not utilise their full potential.

the team will do well in the 5.B.

The team did nQt apply themselves fully at practices or in matches. Irresponsible batting and poor catching and fielding at critical times let the bowlers down.

4TH XI CRICKET This team showed great determination, but it seemed as if this was not enough. The latent talent was there, but often it did not blossom. However Godden, Webb, Peens and Ward batted well. The other players always tried hard to obtain the elusive victory. Dean Godden always plugged away with great determination, as did Hopwood. The spinners, Dunstan and Blythe, unfortunately did not bowl much, but showed great promise.

In the batting department Stephen Newton impressed, although he was guilty of playing too many rash shots. Of the bowlers, 8ruce Sharp and Andrew Symmonds bowled consistently well. A big thank you to the parents for their support, especially Mr and Mrs Kros, Mrs Newton, Mr Sharp, Mr Symmonds and Mr Wilson.

Webb scored consistently well - his 36 against Groote Schuur, 28 against Herzlia and 25 against SACS proved his ability as an opener.

The following players represented the Under 15 team during the 1st term. The number of games they played are in brackets:

Ward batted well and seems destined for higher team honours - his 21 against Herzlia, 19 against Groote schuur and 48 against Bishops were worthwhile contributions.

Skipper Peens showed great determination, and his knock of 28 against Groote Schuur was a solid effort.

The 6th learn improved during the lerm. The learn spirit was very good, and Ihere was no real difference between this team and the 4th team.

The 15B team was coached by Mr j. Joubert, who kindly gave up his time to coach us. We greatly appreciate all that he has done for us. 65

Some good matches saw the defeat of some of our main rivals. There was a strong bowling attack with John van Oordt and the team's seamers performing well at times. Consistent bowling was seen from the off-spinner, Louis Brink, who also showed much talent when opening the team's batting attack. He was also a consistent batsman with a few SO'sto his credit.

Wynberg won against Bishops by 39 runs : Wynberg were 67 all out. Ruwiel made 14 runs and Mills 15. Bishops were all out for 46, Wilken took 5 for 8. B.C. UNDER lSD CRICKET Under 15D had a very enjoyable and successful season winning 4 out of 5 matches. The interest shown by the boys was very encouraging and practices were well-supported. The highlight of the season was our beating of SACS Under 15C team by 7 wickets. Holdstock took 8 of the SACS wickets.

Unfortunately the team did not do well at fielding. The missed ball was not always chased and valuable runs were scored against the team as a result. Regular team members were:

The regular team was Privett, Rice, Lorenzo, Burgess, Holdstock, George, Ruwiet Cowley, Job, Smith, De Kock and Rohrs.

P - 7; W - 6; L- 1

The following are the results of the Under 15C cricket fixtures:

Something must have happened to this team during the winter for they ended the year with some marvellous displays of cricket. By far the most incredible game was our win against Rondebosch where we went from being 6 runs for 3 wickets to a declaration at 235 for 6 wickets. We then proceeded to bowl out our opponents for a mere 56.

Wynberg beat Oude Molen by 4 wickets : Wynberg made 68 for 6, with Boster making 46 runs. Oude Molen replied with 67 all out. Wolff took 5 for 19. Lost to Rondebosch by 6 wickets: Wynberg 46 all out, Rossouw made 21 runs. Rondebosch replied with 47 for 2. Lost to Hottentots Holland by 44 runs : Hottentots Holland all out for 112, Blythe taking 3 for 43. Wynberg replied with 68 runs, Botha made 26. Wynberg beat SACS by 6 wickets: Wynberg 61 for 4. Botha made 27. SACS replied with 59 all out, Honeyman 5 for 17. Wynberg lost to Bishops by 62 runs: Bishops were 199 all put. Wynberg replied with 117, Luyt not out with 32 runs. Wynberg drew with Avondale, who batted first and scored 206 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Wynberg responded by batting carefully, and at the end of the limited overs were 45 for 7. Wynberg won against Fairbairn by 9 runs : Wynberg batted first and were all out for 24 runs, Amm made 7 runs. Fairbairn replied with 15 all out, Miller taking 5 wickets for 1 run. Wynberg lost to Rondebosch by 75 runs : Rondebosch were 107 all out, Miller taking 5 for 26 and Wilken 5 for 39. Wynberg replied with 32 all out, Wilken made 9 runs. Wynberg lost against Simonstown by 6 wickets : Wynberg were all out for 35 runs. Simonstown replied with 36 for 4, P. Lorenzo took 3 for 16 runs.

Results were: vs Bishops: won by 129 runs vs Bergvliet : won by 7 wickets vs Hertzlia : won by 8 runs (limited overs game) vs Plumstead: lost by 90 runs vs Bishops : Won by 6 wickets vs Rondebosch : won by 179 runs vs SACS: won by 3 wickets 66

lavery was the best batsman, while Adrian Carter's swashbuckling 43 against Bergvliet at number 10 will long be remembered.

1st Term 1985: A rain-marred first quarter did nothing to help the boys' form and of the four matches played two were against a strong Rondebosch side who were intent on avenging last year's defeat.

Thank you to all those parents who assisted with transport and special thanks to Messrs Wilson and Carter, who were always willing to assist with umpiring. M.R.

Shahl de Meuter was our most promising batsman and was unlucky not to score more runs. Simon Rogers is developing into a good all-rounder and is a natural ball player. In the spin department we struggled and tried a number of bowlers of whom Daryl Sims and Wayne Dante were the most successful.

Both terms produced enjoyable matches. Fourth term 1984: 'Four matches were played.

Fint term 1985: In the team's first match against Strand they felt elated when they had Strand out for 19 runs. But then 3 of Wynberg's players went out for 1 run. After that the batting improved, and they won.

UNDER 148 CRICm

In their second match, against SACS, Munro dismissed the first two batsmen for 2 runs. The team was eventuallyout within an hour.

4th Term 1984: The U14B's played some good cricket, winning five out of the six matches. Mark leach batted adventurously and had a top score of 97. louis Brink bowled consistently well and had best figures of 4/15. The best bowling figures came from Rodney Smith (5/44 vs Avondale), Mark Rice (6/18 vs Plumstead), Graeme Wilson (6/26 vs Bishops) and lance Colborne (7/17 vs SACS).

At this stage we lost Johnson and Bannister to the B team and Munro did not play for the rest of the season owing to an injured foot. We lost the matches against Bishops and Plumstead.

Although the bowling was adequate, the batting was extremely brittle, and few batsmen showed any discipline at the crease. Murray Johnson was the most consistent bowler, with best figures of 5/42.

UNDER 140 CRICKET

HOCKEY

During the first term our team improved greatly. One of the best matches was against Bergvliet. Pfister scored 32 runs and Ordenlyall 15 runs. The most promising bowler in the first term was Du Randt. In our last game of the first term we played Rondebosch at home when our best batsmen were Clark and Scholtz, and our best bowler was Bailey (5 wickets).

This year Wynberg entered eleven teams in the various leagues, compared to seven teams in 1984. This increase was mainly due to the large number of Std 6's playing hockey this year. The enthusiasm in the Under 14 age group certainly augurs well for the future. Congratulations to Grant Haskin, who was selected for the W.P. Schools' team, and to Mark Leach and Graham Wilson on being chosen for an invitation U -15 team.

GOLF

I wish to express my thanks to all those people who gave up many hours of their time to coach the various sides. Their efforts are much appreciated.

We entered two teams in the league this year. The A team played Medal in the A league and the B team Stableford in the B league. We had some good players, especially Lance v.d. Bijland Craig Smith, but not enough depth, with the result that both teams only won three games each. This is, however, an improvement on last year's performance. Some of our young golfers show a lot of promise, especially Brett Blyth and John Slauk, Glen Treadaway, James Loxton, Shahl de Meuter and Anthony Alexander.

We were once again lucky to have the use of the Constantia Hockey Club fields for practices and matches and the Wynberg Military Base fields for practices. Mr Payne and his staff kept the main hockey field in excellent condition. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those parents who assisted with transport and who supported hockey at Wynberg this year.

Dale College Tournament:

During the April holidays the 1st XI participated in a tournament held at Dale College, King William's Town. Playing against some extremely good teams, we managed to win only two of the six games we played. A team like Jeppe showed us what the basic skills of hockey were all about, and the experience we gained at this tournament stood us in good stead for the rest of the season. My thanks to Mr Richardson for his very positive contribution on this tour.

M.R. 1STXI

The first team had a creditable record this season, but crucial lapses saw the team lose matches they could have Won. Although we created enough clear scoring chances, a lack of maturity in the goalmouth saw very few of these chances actually being taken. I feel that the basic skills of hitting and stopping were not of a consistently high enough standard.

7-a-Side Tournament:

The intial rounds of this tournament were played in sections consisting of five teams per section. Wynberg easily won their section and were drawn to meet Bishops in the quarter-

On a more positive note, the team did have some good wins, notablyover SACS (2-1) and 69

defender in team, represented W.P. Schools. Should try to keep calm under pressure. Wade Kitching : Good, solid right half, but should get into attack more. Needs to work at his skills. Pieter van der Riet : Most improved player in the first team; intelligent player and good passer of the ball; needs to strengthen his tackle. Mark leach : Basic skills are good, but should be working harder at his game. Did not consistently produce the hockey of which he is capable. Dean Smit : Moved to left wing this season did extremely well there; shooting at goal greatly improved. Needs to work at stopping the ball. Thomas Benson (Captain) : Hardest runner in the team; always gave his best. Struggled with own game, perhaps due to captaincy and playing in number of positions. Needs to work at distribution. Gary Wilson : Good personal skills with touches of real class; always encourages other players; needs to be stronger in the tackle and in the SO/SO balI. Ian Gordon: A driving force and a most creative player in the forward line; has the ability to change the course of a game; leading goalscorer, but could have scored even more; needs to retain concentration for the whole game. Mark van Bentheim : Extremely quick - used this asset to

finals. After being one goal down, they fought back extremely well to win by two goals to one. However, we were totally outclassed by Rondebosch in the semi-finals, losing 2- O. Only good goalkeeping by Brent Porter prevented a higher score. Indoor Hoc"ey Tournament:

This year a Schools' Indoor Hockey league was introduced for the first time. Eight schools participated in this league, which was played during the first term, and Wynberg did weil to finish second. There were no stars in this team but every member of the team played well. Gary Wilson was the leading goal scorer, with 9 out of the team's 27 goals. The following boys represented the indoor hockey team: G. Haskin; M. leach; I. Gordon; G. Wilson; W. Kitching; J. Mills, P. van der Riet and T. Benson. Critique of Players:

Brent Porter: Produced his best form late in the season. A good team man. John Mills: Improved a great deal during the season. Worked hard at his game - a thinker on the field. Needs to work at his tackling. Kevin Price: Also improved a great deal this season; tackled well, and did a good job at left half. Grant Haskin : Best 70

good eHed. Needs to work very hard at basic hockey skills. Graham Wilson: Also represented the first team on tour and on two other occasions. Shows much potential.

A brief summary of the season's highlight: We defeated SACS 5 - 3, after being down 1 - 2 in our first game. There followed conclusive victories (with the occasional loss) against Pinelands (1 - 0), Plumstead (4- 0), Fish Hoek (2- 0), Rondebosch (3-0) and Bishops III (7-2). This latter result was impressive, since we recovered from a 1- 2 deficit. In the third term we defeated Cape Town High (4-0), but then end-of-season molaise crept in. We lost or drew our last 5 games of the season. In all these cases we had a large percentage of the play, but failed to capitalise on this .. leading goal scorers: 10 Mark Douglas, 7 - Gary Mulder, 5 - Mark von Bentheim.

M.R. THIRD HOCKEY XI

2ND XI HOCKEY

The Third Hockey XI started the season on a good note with victories over SACS, Fairmont and Pinelands, but was unable to maintain its good record.

The team exhibited remarkable application in practising basic skills, set-pieces as well as occasional fitness training without (audible) complaint. A solid, latent team-spirit was present.

Their play, although basically sound, seldom reached great heights because of the individualism of several players. In the goals Arnotl fended oH numerous attacks with the help of fine backs such as Atlas (before his illness), Connellan, Claum and Hubbard, but found the Rondebosch forward line a little too penetrative.

Strong defence, comprising Selwyn Spracklen and Grant Crosby-Emery, was complemented by a dedicated midfield and aggressive forwards. This ensured an attack-orientated style of play, which paid handsome dividends.

The halves, De Klerk, Gordon, Hubbard, Sutherland and Catto played good hockey, but did not all possess the fitness or combining skills required for midfield players.

The 4 - 5 -1 system allows 5 halves to close up the midfield. Here Rory Ried, Trevor Scott, Kerwyn de Klerk, Richard Catto, Brandon Spolander and lan Wilkinson showed competent skills as well as unselfish, controlled distribution.

In the forward line large and Falck did a lot of good work at inner; Robinson, Alexander, De Nier and Brewer often did a wing's job remarkably well, and centre-forward Stephen Hall frequently found the back of the net.

The never-say-die attitude of the forwards was epitomised by left-wing John Bradley and Mark Douglas, who were capable of real "BobbyDazzle" stick-work on many occasions. Centreforward Cary Mulder - a newcomer to hockey - soon appeared to be a seasoned veteran. Right wing, Mark von Bentheim used his pace to great advantage.

All in all the season, if not very successful, was enjoyable. Thanks go to De Klerk, Atlas and Gordon for their captaincies. O.B.

Although the team was weakened by 4 injuries during the 3rd term, the boys continued to improve their skills. A feature of the team was their sound defence. Quintan Brand proved to be a very competent, courageous goalkeeper. He was fortunate to be behind two excellent backs in Duncan Richardson and Craig SummersgiiI. Of the halves, Gerry Parolis and Robert Creaser improved throughout the season. The forward line unfortunately lacked penetration, especially when Stuart Innes was injured.

Although the team spirit, enthusiasm and positive attitude of the boys resulted in some excellent hockey, the defence conceded too many goals. The highlight of the season was winning the indoor hockey tournament. The scores were as follows: Cape Town High (2-2), Rondebosch (1-1), Bishops (5-0), Fish Hoek (3- 2) Plumstead (5-1), Bergvliet (0-0), Fairmont (1-1), Pinelands (4 - 0 in the semi-final) and SACS (4 - 0 in the final).

K.R. UNDER 148 HOCKEY

H.t.V.

Calvin farmer led the U -14B weil, and the team responded to his positive demands. Many of the players in this team have as much potential as others in the A side, but have not, asyet, put in as much work. I think particularly of Nigel Ormond, Steven Abbot and JasonTurner, who at times displayed first-rate skills. Frank Pronk and Andrew Cowie came up from the C side and proved to be towers of strength in the team. Andrew de Kock and David Mallinson were always on the verge of the A side. Reece Harvey and Bailey held their places against strong opposition and it will be interesting to watch their progress next year. Goalkeeper Hilton Stiles is going to give Wynberg sterling service in the future.

UNDER 14A HOCKEY From a clueless bunch of enthusiastic runners at the end of March, these players emerged in September with ball skills, tactical knowledge and (hopefully) a love of a fine game. Bastien Ruwiel led the A team from the front. He was a skilful centre-forward and a gentleman captain. Adrian Carter was in charge of the goals - a keen, hardworking young man with a bright future. Michael van der Poll tackled many an opposing forward with efficiency, and was ably supported by Grant Clark and Alistair Bailey. The other two defenders were Anthony Bishop and Mark Drew. All the defenders showed individual touches of good stickwork. It is exciting to think how good they will be with practice next year. Peter Mills and Simon Rogers

The thanks of the team must be given to twO old boys, Tim Milner and Kevin Pattenden, who 73

gave up many afternoons to coach the team and to our loyal (albeit vociferous) band of parental supporters.

Statistically the results are poor with most of the wins and draws coming in the second half of the season. Many of the boys did show fine promise: Farmer, for example, played first for the E team and eventually worked his way up to the captaincy of the B side.

JUDO

Wynberg's standard of judo has improved considerably this year. We welcomed some new judo players during 1985 and we hope that our club will grow even larger next year. The following boys represented Western Province at the Eastern Province Open Championships: Aion Bas, Bradley Glazer and Christopher Glazer. Aion Bas and Christopher Glazer won their weight divisions at the Western Province School Championships and A. Bas received the trophy

The season was a challenging one, beginning with 35 green hockey players and ending with enjoyable wins over SACS on the last Saturday of the season. We were able to field consistently three teams, although the E side was entered in a midweek U -15 league to ensure that all boys had a game every week. 74

from an early age. Once again we made our annual pilgrimage to East london for the Selborne and Buffalo Regattas and had to borrow racing craft from other schools and clubs. (There was no space on the Western Province boat trailer for our newly-acquired racing four). Our racing was characterised by misfortune - boat breakages resulted in our U -15 four being eliminated in the heat. Although our U -14 four and eight, did not achieve places in their events, showed good improvements. Our scullers featured well at these regattas. Both U -14 scullers won their heats, with Graham Bryant coming second in the final (Marc Klibbe had a problem with a broken seat in the final and did not finish the race).

Our thanks to Mr Butcher for coaching us this y~r. C~

OBITUARY: MR ALEX BUTCHER The late Mr Alex Butcher was instrumental in starting judo at Wynberg. He raised some excellent judoka at our school and many have received Springbok colours. As a result of his teaching, Wynberg won the inter-school lightweight trophy 16 out of the 19 times and the heavyweight trophy a number of times. His passing, towards the end of last year, is a tremendous loss to judo at Wynberg and in South Africa. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife and family. CG.

This seasonwe will have a very promising group of seniors, while our U -15 division should be strong. Sculling is a popular event at Wynberg and we have a number of very promising juniors and seniors. Some of our oarsmen were involved in winter training sessions,so the enthusiasm is there. We look forward to the coming season. A.T.

RUGBY If one compared the 1984 and 1985 rugby results, one would find that this year's results are better. If one compared the first half of this seasonwith the second half, one would find that the results of the second half are better. In addition, the U -14B and the upper teams in the U -13, U -15 and U19 age groups were good. The U13A, for example, played 15 games, lost 2, drew 0 and won 13, with 398 points for and 64 points against. The U -15A is the best team in that age group that we have had for some years.

TOTAL POSI

UNDER 19A RUGBY The 19851st XV played some outstanding rugby during the season, improved steadily and was as good as any school team in the Western Province by the end of the season. Striking features of the team were a really good scrum, enterprising running rugby by a talented backline, and a tremendous team spirit. Blessed with a particularly effective front row the scrum worked extremely well as a unit, developed a great deal of confidence in themselves and consistently applied enormous pressure on their opponents. On the other hand, lineout work was of a relatively low standard. Had the lineout work approached the same standard as the scrumming, the team would have been virtually unbeatable, as the backline proved to be very effective with their sound defence, excellent handling and support play. Play in the tightloose fluctuated, but was good on the whole. A big disappointment was that Marc Wiederkehr, the captain, and a most outstanding loose forward, was, owing to injuries, able to play only 11 games. Sean Smith who played his 60th game for the 1st XV against the Old Boys did an outstanding job as substitute captain and was a particularly good motivator. He was most ably assisted by David Schenck, the substitute vicecaptain. I would helped added proved

like to thank Old Boy Clark Ellis who coach the backs during the season. He a new dimension to their play and to be a great success.

I would also like to thank John Joubert, another Old Boy, who on occasions coached the forwards. He, too, was a great help. My particular thanks go to Mr Paul Blackbeard, who did an outstanding job with the 2nds, and

who assisted me greatly throughout the season. My thanks also to Messrs Noot, Tony Blackbeard and Hill, the other U -19 coaches, for their cooperation, to Mr Morris, the rugbyorganiser, for his hard work and to Mr Payne and his team of groundsmen for preparng our fields and looking after the equipment. Thank you also to parents and Old Boys for their keen support. for 1985: L. Gatzanis, S. Oberholzer, S. Smith. D. Godden, G. Stiles, T. Connellan, D. Seeliger, D. Schenck, C. Upton, B.

Record of Resuib (indUdInS old Boys pme):

~I:I~1~1~ll~ SUMMARY Of MATCHES: SI. Slilhlus fesdnl: vs St Stithians (9-13) - Very much an early season performance. The basics were not done well. vs Sr. Johns (19-0) - An improved display against a weaker team. A relatively satisfying display. vs Potchefstroom

Boys' High (8 - 6) - Again a

marked improvement noted. Two very good tries were scored and ~he support and general play were particularfy good. Closeness of the SCore rather flattered our opponents. A most enjoyable first fixture against a friendly team from an obviously good school.

Bruce Posrings abour ro hoof irl

upe Town:

Wynberg the game against a very powerful Strand team. An error in judgement by one of the Wynberg backs in not passing with a clear overlap and a very bad knock-on missed by the unsighted referee clearly made the difference in an even game.

(6 - 6) - Rather a disappointing performance after a fair start to the game. Still many problems to be sorted out. At this stage of the season the scrum was still poor and handling and passing failed at vital times. Perhapsa little fortunate to draw. vs Parktown

Boys'

High

vs Bel/ville Tech (J4 -7) - A most impressive win

in a match played in a very strong wind. The handling was very good, the scrum was working well and some very attractive tries were scored.

Sheer spirit and determination to do well kept the team in the hunt. The final score flattered the visitors. At this stage of the season some techniques not as good as those of the opposition, and weak scrumming with very little possessionwas the basic causeof the defeat. vs Bishops (0-18)

vs Rondebosch (J -1J) - A very even match for most of the game without either side gaining a clear advantage, except that Rondebosch were better at lineouts. However, a number of injuries clearly upset the Wynberg rhythm and the team appeared rattled in the last 10 minutes.

vs Milnerton (16-1J) - The scrumming was still disappointing. Milnerton came back very strongly after being 13-0 down at half-time. Some good running by the backs.

vs Paarl Gym (6 -10) - Wynberg were clearly as good as their opponents, and a draw would have been a far better reflection of the game. A missed tackle in the 34th minute of the second half saw Gym score the winning try. The team, however, made a number of basic errors.

vs SACS (10 - 0) -

An outstanding performance against a motivated, confident SACS team. Outstanding scrumming, continual pressure and a resolute defence carried Wynberg through to a convincing win. vs Strand

(6 -1J) -

vs Plumstead (10-J) - A very good performance in wet conditions against a most spirited Plumstead team.

Two basic errors cost 80

vs Tygerberg (79-3) -

v Jan Van Riebeeck (4-0) -

Wynberg maintained their outstanding form by scoring four superb tries against the strong Tygerberg team. The forwards were devastatingly effective in the scrum and Tygerberg were under continuous pressure.

Wynberg were markedly superior to our old rivals, but the team failed dismally to take their chances. No fewer than 7 penalties and two certain tries were missed.

vs Pretoria Boys' High (15-3) -

Some very enterprising play in the first half was followed by the most resolute defence in the second half when Pretoria won a continuous stream of possession.A superb team display.

vs Bishops (6 -76) - Once again a good display. Technically Wynberg were far better than in the first Bishops game. We failed, however, to grasp opportunities. Bishops converted 4 penalties out of 4 and Wynberg 2 out of 6. After strong pressure for most of the 2nd half Wynberg gave away a try in the last minute. A game which definitely could have been won.

vs Plumstead

(8 -13) - After a number of impressive displays, Wynberg was comprehensively outplayed in all departments by a motivated Plumstead team. After being 10-0 down at half-time they pulled themselves together and applied a lot of pressure, but failed to take their opportunities. Full marks to Plumstead on an impressive display.

vs Rondebosch

(6 - 4) - An outstanding display of scrumming saw Rondebosch continually on the retreat. This continuing pressure and a good tight defence saw Wynberg win a linie more easily than the score suggests. Once again the tremendous improvement of the team was noticeable.

vs SACS (73- 0) -

The complacency of the previous week was gone and Wynberg made full use of their opportunities to beat a motivated SACSteam. SACSdominated the lineouts completely, but were badly beaten in the scrum.

vs Bergvliet (20- 9) - Bergvliet put up a spirited display in their first ever encounter against Wynberg and their backs looked dangerous on several occasions. But their forwards were hopelessly outclassed in the tight. A courageous display by our opponents.

vs Old Boys (7 - 4) - A meritorious but slightly fortunate win against a sporting but strong Old Boys team.

D. Schenck (Loose-head Prop) - With hard work in the off-season developed into an exceptionally good loose head who deservedly gained selection for the W.P. Schools team.

vs Selborne (7 - 20) - Probably the most disappointing game of the season. Allowing for Selborne's good play, Wynberg were well below form. Tackling was weak and there was a startling lack of motivation and commitment.

C. Vpton (Hooker) - Strong scrummager who developed into an excellent hooker as the season progressed. Could still be more aggressive in the loose.

vs Amamzintoti High (17-3) - Better play against fiery opponents, but still making basic errors.

B. Kriel (Tight-head Prop) - An outstanding tight-head. Although small, very aggressive and consistently gave his opponents a hard time. Loves scrummi!1g.

vs Glenwood (16-7) - A very good display in which the scrumming was markedly improved. Continuous pressure forced Glenwood into errors.

A. Scorey (Flank) - Fiery and strong. Very good team man. Handling let him down on occasions.

vs Grosvenor (22-3) - Wynberg scored some fine tries in the second half to put the seal on a successful Natal tour.

R. Webb (Flank) - Fast and tried hard. A little light, but always gave of his very best. M. Power (Lock) - Excellent team man. Prepared to graft. Good scrummages, sometimes did not control the ball as well as he should have.

critique of 1st XV ~yers: L Gatzanis (Fullback & Scrumha/f) - Worked hard at his game and gave of his best at all times. Good on defence and covered well while playing scrumhalf. A most useful team man.

P. van Schalkwyk (Lock) - Too short for lock, but an outstanding scrummager, excellent ball player and very good team man.

S. Oberholzer (Wing) - Hard, strong tackler. Excellent team man who improved his skills considerably over the season although still a little clumsy and slow off the mark.

R. Dews (8th Man) - Play a little inconsistent. Handled well, fast around the field, but inclined to die with the ball. Should have been better at lineout.

G. Stiles (Wing) - Good ball skill and a sound wing. With better control of his temper would be a very good player.

M. Wiederkehr (8th Man) - Excellent rugby player who has all the potential to go far as a flank. Unfortunately missed much of the season because of injury.

B. Postings (Wing) - All the potential. Ran very well on occasions. Lacks a certain amount of fire and finds difficulty in becoming completely fit.

UNDBll91

S. Smith (Centre) - Gave outstanding service as a leader and with his experience was a steadying influence. A very good season.

The first half of the 1985 rugby season w~s a little disappointing in terms of results, as the 2nd XV lost one more game than they won. In all these games, however, the losing margin was very narrow. In the first game of the season we went down to Bishops, who scored the winning try in extra time. Our biggest defeat of the season was against Paarl Gym (17 - 3). The team played with determination, and the forwards dominated the tight exchanges. Two defensive lapses cost us the game.

D. Godden (Centre) - Developed tremendously this season. Handling, passing and ability to break the line improved greatly. Together with his deadly defence, this made him one of the best centres around. T. Connellan (Flyha/f) - Most talented with excellent hands, very big kick, sharp and a fine feel for the game. Excellent defence, though one-to-one tackling improvement.

RUGBY

flyhalf break cover needs

During the second term there was a sense of urgency and a will to win which was not always present in the first half of the season. In the opening game we defeated Rhodes High 7 - 3. This was a pleasing result, as we were soundly beaten by them in an early season friendly.

D. Seeliger (Scrumhalf) - Gained confidence as the season progressed and played extremely well by the end. Good pass and bre.ak and reasonable kick. Good on cover defence. 83

Results:

The team's play improved with each game, resulting in our defeating Tygerberg (8- 0), Rondebosch (14- 9), Muizenberg 1st XV (48-3), Plumstead (37- 0) and SACS (28-10). The only defeat was against Bishops (3-13).

It was evident that the boys learned several rugby skills which they were able to put to good use. However, tackling remains a great weakness. Although it is difficult to fight back from a deficit of 30 points at the end of the first half, I do feel that individuals in the side could not maintain their initial determination.

The halves improved throughout the season and John Hawkins (flyhalf) was in my mind the most improved second team player.

Practices were well-attended and enthusiastically led by Allan Gottgens, the captain.

Congratulations to losh Bedingham, who proved to be an outstanding captain. Many thanks to Clarke Ellis, who coached the backs, and to all the members of the second team for making it such an enjoyable and successful season.

We had a good win over Rondebosch when pressure on the backs caused them untold grief. We also had an excellent performance against Simonstown 2nd XV.

UNDER 190 RUGBY

The only problem with coaching the 4th team is that players are constantly lost when there are injuries higher up. This year was no exception and 41 players respresented the side. Good team spirit was built up during the season which is reflected in our good performance when we played Bishops the second time. Chris Whelan led the side well and Gary Gold did a good job with the forwards. Players who are good prospects for next year are Bruce Mizen, lan Dick, Julian KidweIl, Rob Seymour, Craig Collins, Brendon Q'Dowd, Kenny lloyd and Anton Doyle. A.B.

UNDER 168 RUGBY Because so many key players in the A team were injured during the season the U - 16B's had mixed fortunes. Players gave their all, but were often outgunned by opponents. Certain players showed great determination and loyalty and seldom missed practices; others, unfortunately, were not as keen. Alex Mills, the captain, played his heart out for the team and often fought a lonely ba"1e against opposing teams. His efforts were rewarded, and he is now a regular member of the A team. Players who often caught the eye were Butler, a tall, hard-playing loek; Templeton, a hardworking, honest lock; 8owes, the hooker, small, but with the heart of a giant; Trow, an honest, hard-working flanker; David Horne, ftyhalf, a good kicker of the ball; luyt, il solid, hardtackling back and Rossouw, a fine tackler.

UNDEIll9E RUGBY This team had a most spirited season and produced some very good displays, particularly in their first match against Rondebosch. There is no doubt that the players enjoyed their practices and matches, and as coach it was a pleasure to be associated with them. I would like to commend them for their co-operation, politeness and enthusiasm. G.J.H.

Towards the end of the season the team produced sterling performances: in the first match against Bishops the side lost l8 - 0, but in the return game only lost by 16 - 4. Another game in which the team did very well was against Rondebosch. In the first match the team lost 42 - 3, but in the return game they lost by only 11 -0.

UNDER 16A RUGBY What can be said of a team that ends a season with so few wins? They were not worse than 85

The backline improved tremendously this season. They developed more confidence and also had two talented wings in A. Holdstock and D. de Villiers.

Listed below is the team's performance:

John Price scored 19 tries, followed by K. Zeeman (13) and A. Holdstock (12). Holdstock contributed 160 points this season.

S.B.

UNDER 16C RUGBY

The match against Rondebosch must be seen as the highlight of the season. Trailing 0 -14 at halftime, the A team produced vintage rugby to win the match 24 -14.

The Under 16C squad was a particularly enjoyable side with which to be involved. There is always the problem of losing players to sides above, but this side never lost its spirit and there was a good atmosphere at practices.

It is always a pleasure to coach a team when the players train hard, have respect for one another, are generally positive in their approach and ultimately fulfil their obvious potential.

We started the season particularly well, with three victories against Bishops, De Grendel and SACS, but later in the season we were affected by injuries and illness and by the fact that they had to play A and B sides.

I would like to thank John Joubert for his tremendous help this season and Messrs Louw, Stovold and Todd for their contributions.

Several players were asked to play in various positions from week to week, and I thank them for their willingness to adapt.

UNDER 15A RUGBY

S.V.P.

This season was an exciting one for this age group, especially for the A-side, which maintained the high standard they established last year. Their success was very much thanks to a team effort, while there were individuals with great flair. The team played constructive, attractive rugby. Both backs and forwards were determined to run the ball, strongly encouraged by John Price (vice-captain) and Keith Zeeman (captain).

UNDER 15B RUCBY Played 14 : Won 8 : Lost 6 This year I had the good fortune to coach a group of high-spirited, enthusiastic boys who were keen to learn and who played attractive rugby for most of the time. We had our downs, when things went wrong: losing twice to Bishops, humiliated by Paarl Gym 86

and narrowly defeated by two A sides. But even from these encounters the team returned with a stronger will to win and do better.

UNDER 150 RUGBY

Almost without exception the players showed enthusiasm during pradices and matches. The 0 team started the season rather badly and tended to give up too easily if points were scored against them early in the match.

Good times included beating Rondebosch the second time round when, through determined play, we reversed our previous loss. The team was captained first by B. Fyfe and then by A. Levey. S. Oldroyd, vice-captain, led the backs. The forwards were never beaten and seldom equalled. The backs did not reach the same heights, but they did have their moments.

The third term saw a revitalised group of players. We played 4 matches, won two and lost the other two very narrowly. We were leading our arch-rivals, Rondebosch, in the rematch until the final 60 seconds of the game when Rondebosch scored and converted to win the game 16-12.

UNDER 15C RUGBY

This was a successful, enjoyable season. Particularly satisfying wins were against SACS (twice), CBC and Strand.

UNDER 14A RUGBY

The U -14A side played some sound rugby throughout the season. Play was always charaderised by plenty of spirit.

All the boys improved and grew in confidence. At the start of the season we appeared to have plenty of forwards but lacked backs. By the end of the season we had plenty of both.

It was encouraging to see the improvement of the side, although the results were not a reflection of the general play. Many matches were lost as a result of the inability to convert tries into goals. A special word of thanks to Peter Cowen and Tim de Wet for their leadership and to those parents who gave this side support at matches.

Hopefully all the boys who played in either the 15C or 0, and there were many (40), will continue to play next season. M.S. Barry Hillier evades a taekJe

The U - 14B team had a very successful season. We were fortunate to have a very well-balanced side. 87

UNDER 140 RUGBY

The forwards combined aggression, flair and speed so well that they became quite a formidable pack.

The fortunes of the 0 teams closely followed those of the C team as outlined above. After some pleasing results at the beginning of the season the team lost its form and only regained il in the last two matches of the season. The team was ably led by David Henry who gave yeoman service in a number of key positions. Results:

The backline players were, I would say, the equal of any team whom they pla~ed against. The ball handling of the backs was very good, and they were quick to take advantage of opportunities which came their way. The team was very ably led by Roland Awm. He was a bundle of energy and led by example throughout the matches. We played 15 games of which we won 10,Iost 4 and drew 1.

UNDER 14C RUGBY

UNDER 13A RUGBY

This group slarted the season with a potentially strong team. At first there were fine results. but when illness and minor injuries caused many promotions to the B team, the play began to deteriorate. However, by the end of the season, when the original players began to return from the B team and when some boys realised that playing hard brought more pleasure than coasting along did, the general play and the results improved. enabling the team to finish on a high note by beating SACS 18 - O. There IS a lot of rugby in this group and I am sure they will do well next year. Brett van Eyssen was a good captain; he has much common ense and a good personality. Principal try scorer was David Winton who mUSI have crossed the opponents' line in almo~t every match.

The U -BA's have had a very successful season. The team was well balanced and strong. The main feature of their game was an abundant supply of ball from the forwards which in turn was fed to backs who could run and handle well. Of course, any team that has Grant Pureveen as a member, starts with a definite physical and psychological advantage. Mark pfister at flyhalf proved to be a most able and unselfish distributor of the ball. He has a keen eye for the break and uses his boot intelligently. The forwards formed an effedive, well-drilled unit who maintained their cohesiveness against all opposition.

After our excellent season lastyear we lost more of our top players than we had expected. With Camps Bayand Abbotts College both appearing to have very strong Super League teams, we still split two ways to allow extra players to gain top experience. Our Matric Super league side was well clear in second position and the non-matric side were fourth, equal with Abbotts College, who included three ex-Wynberg pupils.

The Third team were knocked out in the quarter-finals by the eventual winners in the A league. The Fifth team were just beaten in the C league quarterfinals. The Seventh team were beaten in the finals by the top team from the F league and the Eighth team and Under 15C teams were beaten in the semi-finals by the eventual winners of their knockouts.

There was the usual problem of too many players with too few courts, but a number of the super league players played and practised with the Wynberg Old Boys and other clubs and relieved congestion on our practice afternoons. Our thanks to those top players who still joined our Wednesday practices to maintain a high standard. Mr. Iliffe, who ran the Wednesday and Thursday practices during the second term, was replaced by Mrs Jacksonand Mr M. Richardson while he was on long leave during the third term. David Mills and Gary Mulder organised the fitness practice sessionson Mondays and Tuesdaysfor those squash players who only had one other free practice afternoon. The coaching squads

The Inter-house competition was all played during one afternoon, each player playing four matches up to 15 points. Teams consisted of three seniors and two under fifteens, as usual. De Waal was by far the strongest team, followed by Littlewood and Rhodes equal second and then Van Riebeeck and Wellington. In the school Open Championship Trevor Davies beat Tim Connellan. The U -16 Championship 93

continued on Mondays and Tuesdays, with Denise Higginbotham and Jasmine Griffin from the Protea School of Squash, while extra Wednesday and Thursday practices were run by Mr Greenwood at Constantia. Mr Stovold, Mr De Carpentier and Mrs Mills helped Mr Greenwood transport our teams to away-matches on Fridays, while Mr Richardson looked after the home matches on the school courts and Mr Jackson taak over from Mr !liffe in runrling the Constantia home matches. Jeff Slernslow and the W.O.B. Squash Committee looked after our top players in their league teams and supported the dub and players with financial and material help. The school courts have worked well this year except for the odd light and lock problem, and we look forward to extra courts in the future Old Boys Pavilion. M. R., M.S. and B. G.

SWIMMING (1984/1985) Our swimming team continued to excel in all local galas held in the Western Province. Our U -16's proved a force to be reckoned with and next year swimmers like Richard apie, Graham Manson-Smith and Seddan Keyter should dominate this division. In the U -14 division there is plenty of latent talent. Our U -19'5 swam with plenty of determination. Fine examples were set by Mark Stevens, and our swimming captain for 1985 Mark Wiederkehr. Mark was selected for the Western Province Schools' swimming team, and Graham Manson-Smith for the senior Western Province Currie Cup team.

Mr R.e. Aigie (Headmaster),

Our senior teams also did very well, with four out of our six teams gaining promotion. The four teams to gain promotion were the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th teams. The 1st and 4th teams won their league, while the 2nd and 5th both came close second, which enabled them to be promoted. With these new promotions it is the first time that Wynberg tennis has had teams in both the Super and First leagues. The only disappointment this season was that our 3rd team did not gain promotion which leaves them, along with the 4th team, in 5th league, which means that there is now a gap of 41eagues between our 2nd and 3rd teams.

Apart from these promising results in league tennis, our social tennis has also seen a dramatic improvement. Over and above those boys who are involved in team tennis, we have more than 80 'social' players who are only more than willing to fill in for one of the lower teams, often with very surprising and promising results.

Some of our boys have also been performing very well out of school as well. Wayne Elsom was selected to play for Western Province in the inter-schools week at Germiston, while Riva da Silva and Warren Frewer represented S.W.A. during the inter-provincials held at Rondebosch during the June holidays.

WATER-POLO Water-polo has had a full, enjoyable season. We fielded 6 senior and 6 under 15 teams.

Peter le Roux Trophy for the Most Improved Senior Player (other than First Team): Grant Bairstow (Second Team)

My sincere thanks to Mr Payne and his ground staff for keeping the swimming pool in such immaculate condition, as well as to the masters who give up so much time to coach the sport.

1985

Marc Wiederkehr, Mark Steven, Glen Gold and Butch Kriel have formed the nucleus of this year's first team, while Tony Pearse, Colin Hammond, Craig Smith and Andre Kropp show promise.

Mrs B. Kropp and the first team mothers must be thanked for providing refreshments at all senior home venues. A number of Old Boys have given invaluable service to water-polo at Wynberg. They include Kelvin Perry who helped with the coaching of the first team, and lan Melliar organised Old Boys' teams and refereed first team games. Neville Davies, Chris Prinsloo and leon Oosthuizen also gave much time to refereeing games. Vikings Water-Polo Club kindly donated a cup for the Most Improved Under 15 Waterpolo Player.

locally we are probably rated second behind Rondebosch (who have beaten us three times), although SACS have beaten us once in 3 games. We started 1985 well by beating SACS 9-1, but never seemed to reach the same standard again. Our main area of concern remains shooting at goal, where we are obtaining only about a 40% success rate. 1985 AWARDS: Colours: Mark Steven, Glen Gold, Butch Kriel,

Andrew lamprecht and Johnathan AshcroftEvans gave up many Saturdays to man the table and watches.

FIRST 1IAM WATER-POLO

Te~m talk between chukkas

1934:

Wynberg made the Mazinter final after beating Cape Town High (11-1) in the first round and Bishops (7 - 4) in the semi-final. SACS were overwhelming favourites to win, as they had beaten us well on three previous occasions. In a very exciting, tense final we just lost to SACS (5 -7). A great team effort. The following must be congratulated on being selected for the W.P. trial teams: Andrew Buchanan, Jason Richards, Marc Wiederkehr, Mark Steven, Brian Peach and Jeremy Edgar. Jeremy Edgar needs special congratulations, because he was only recently selected for the first team. Andrew Buchanan and Marc Wiederkehr were selected for the Western Province A side, and 97

GOALS GOALS FOR AGAINST

critique of Fint te~m pbyers: MARC WIEDERKEHR (half) - An exceptionally talented leader and player. Unfortunately dogged by illness in later part of season. Voted the most valuable first team player. Captain.

33 42 22 12

MARK STEVEN (forward) - Very good attacking player with exceptionally high goal average. Has a tendency to lose concentration. Vice-captain.

GLEN GOLD (forward) - The most improved first team player. Good on attack; combined weil with Mark Steven.

BUTCH KRIEL (centre back) - Very aggressive player - a great team man. Marks well, but is rather slow in the water. Excellent long shot.

TONY PEARSE (forward/half) - Very quick in the water, but must improve ball handling and shooting for goal.

CRA/G SM/TH (half) -

Very quick swimmer and possibly the most complete water-polo player of the standard nines, with more effort at practices could have been a serious contender for the Western Province team.

ANDRE

KROPP (centre forward) - has an exceptionally good shot at goal. A good distributor of the ball, but does not strive enough or retain possession up front. Needs to improve his speed in the water. DAM/AN

G/BBS (goalkeeper) - A player who technically does everything correctly bur who occasionally loses concentration.

There is usually an abundance of talent in all Wynberg teams. For the 3rds and 4ths this was again true, but it"is not reflected in the results although the teams played hard. The reason may lie in the fact that practices, which started on time and with all members present, were few and far between. Consequently the necessary teamwork and individual skills were not fully developed.

GARY W/NDO (centre-forward) - has a good shot at goal and puts pressure on the opponents' defence. Needs to improve distribution.

JOHN BED/NG HAM (half) - didn't quite live up to expectations this season. A useful player who has a tendency to lose concentration.

SEAN M/ZEN (half) - A superb long shot, but needs to improve his marking. A.B.

Positive aspects of the team's play were the great improvement of Warren Bevan and Andrew Elder, who combined well as forwards. Cliff Dominy and Noel Robinson are two good backs, while Erik Gobel, who took up to sport late in his school career, also improved greatly.

2ND TEAM WATER-POLO The second water-polo team had an enjoyable first half of the season during 1985. Some of the players played a number of games for the first team and Gary Windo became a permanent memPer of the (A side'.

lastly, Saturday mornings at the pool, with the support of family, friends and girl friends, plus the tea ladies, were always pleasant and enjoyable.

We did not always do as well in matches as we had hoped we would, but the spirit remained high at all times, ensuring some notable wins. Thank you to players and parents for their cooperation and support throughout the season. D.dela M.

UNDER 15E, F AND G WATER-POLO

The sixth side were less successful. Excellent performances were produced by Dave Schenk, who was agile and solid in the goal, Brent Hudson who was our sitter (no one could see him standing on the pool bottom), Jannie van Wyk who swam hard on attack and defence, and Chris Doyle who always gave of his best. Several boys were promoted to higher sides namely, Dave Schenk, Andrew Scorey, Glen Tredinnick and Bruce Goodwin.

In spite of an over-crowded pool and the inadequate time available for effective practices, this group continued to grow as more and more boys found water-polo to their liking. Matches against our traditional rivals produced some exciting moments. The E team, in particular, produced some fine performances and they were unbeaten until their penultimate game of the first term. They then experienced one of those inexplicable slumps in form and went down to SACS and Rondebosch in their last two matches.

We look forward to a good 1985/86 season. N.de.C.

UNDER 15A AND B WATER-POLO

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I wish to express my thanks to: Mr George Hili, assistant editor. My Alf Morris, who was responsible for advertising and distribution.

It was pleasing to note how the team improved throughout the season. The best match was undoubtedly when we beat Bishops 4 -1, after previously losing 3 - 8. Team spirit was always supreme.

Mr Tom O'Reilly for his photographic work. Mr Colin Faure for all his assistance. Mrs Gazelle Faure for typing our magazine. The Headmaster, Staff and Pupils of Wynberg for their co-operation and and assistance.

The Under 158 team was enthusiastically captained by Richard Penn, who generated a great deal of team spirit. A.G.c.

UNDER 15C AND D WATER-POLO

Both the Under 15C and D teams played well throughout the first term, winning 50% of their matches. For many boys this was the first time they had played water-polo and they worked hard at improving their skills. There were fine performances from both teams, noteably the two victories against Bishops. Thomas McEwan of the C team was awarded the trophy for the Most Improved Under 15 Water-polo Player.
