requested to express an opinion. but what I wish to present to you is an article written by a boy in the school and published in the Wynbergian. It was headed "Wynberg - Multi-racial?"

EDITORIAL While editing the vast amount of material that is gathered in order to provide an accurate reflection of what happens in a school like Wynberg. I was struck once again by the wide level of involvement and the many opportunities offered at our school. If an important educational aim is the development of all aspects of the child. I can confidently say that this is happening at Wynberg. Over the years our school-leavers have been privileged in the knowledge that they have attended a school which has equipped them extremely well for making a positive impact in their careers and lives. Moreover. I detect a growing self-confidence and a realization among pupils that this schooloffers opportunities for excellencethat cannot be ignored. Oneonly has to mention the outstanding facilities and the wide variety of academic. cultural and sporting opportunities. More important however. is that Wynberg nurtures the qualities of dignity. politeness and selfreliance. attributes which can only be of positive value in society. Our country. particularly in these unstable. uncertain times. needs boys of the calibre that Wynberg produces to tackle relevant issueswith a senseof initiative.justice and compassion. GJH

"Recently SACS. Westerford and Rondebosch. all schools of a very similar standing to Wynberg. put the question of open schoolsto the vote ... In all the cases.an overwhelming majority voted in favour of the motion ... I think that by now it has beenestablishedasa fact that if we are to have peacein our strife-torn country. we must face up to having to change our ways. The three schools which have already shown that they are willing to do this should be seenas an example to us at Wynberg. Should we. as responsible members of the community. not also show that we are willing to sacrifice certain traditions in the interests of a more stable future? If Wynberg did put this question to the vote and it was agreed that we should become an open school. how would we go about it?

FROM THE HEADMASTER'S DESK THERE is no doubt that education has beenvery much in the political limelight this year. One of the issues addressed by a number of Peninsulaschools has been the question of "open schools." The parents were

How would we be able to ensurethat the standard of the school did not drop? With the Group AreasAct still applicable. it would be difficult to base acceptance of pupils on where they live. Should we accept pupils on academicmerit. or even on achievement in sport? If this agreement Included teachers of all races.how would we go about selecting them?

LETTER TO PARENTS FROM THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE School Admission Policy:

The survey conducted to obtain Parents' opinions on the issue of whether they favour a non-racial admission policy for the School has been concluded and evaluated. The results are as follows: Thosein favour of a non-racial admission policy .. 81.5% Thoseagainsta non-racial admission policy . 18.2% Spoilt papers .. 3% 100.0% Percentagepoll

52.2%

The majority of thsoe who voted in favour of a non· racial admission policy were in favour of a continuation of the current admission policy. i.e. to admit. firstly. pupils who reside within the School's geographical zone and thereafter to admit pupils on a range of criteria at the discretion of the Headmaster. The significant majority of parents did not request a meeting. and accordingly no meeting will be held. Your Committee will consider calling a meeting if in the future any issues arise which require that Parents' opinions be canvassed. Your Committee will communicate the results of the survey to the Minister of National Education. As indicated In our earlier letter to you. in current legislation no provision exists which permits open schools.

View from the Hollow

There are many questions that would have to be considered. But however we went about it. we would. withOUt doubt. be taking another step towards constructive reform and ultimate peace.

STAFF NOTES AT the beginning of this year we welcomed six new members of staff. These teachers were Mesdames A Edwards and B Fassler and Mess A Bailey. B Botha. P Kriel and D Schooling.All havesettled in well at Wynberg and are making a positive contribution in their various fields. Two of our staff members. namely Mr P Deckerand Mr T O·Reilly.decidedto enrol at U CT for ayear's fulltime study in 1986. Mr Decker is completing a BEd course. while Mr O'Reilly decided to do Honours in Latin. Mr Decker's place was taken by Miss Ashley Edwards. and Miss NancyJackson took over from Mr O·Reilly. We thank these ladies for their efforts and wish them well for the future. The school now had two newly appointed MUSIC teachers. namely Miss B Fasslerand Mr B Botha. Their contribution to this aspectof our school canbe gauged by the successesof our school choir this year. During the second term Mr Alastair Cross and his wife Belinda set out on a three-month trip through Europe. By all accounts It was a memorable. worthwhile experience.Mr Cross' placewas ably filled by Mr Duncan Bailey.

The transplanting of the palm tree

That is the one thing we must keep in mind. Let us clear our consciences by giving it a try. Put this extremely important question to the vote!" 6

At the end ofthe secondterm we were sorry to have to say goodbye to Mr Peter Midlane. who left to take up a promotion post in Grahamstown. The school is indeed indebted to him for his positive influence in the classroom and in the staffroom. Mr Tony Blackbeard took six weeks' leave at the beginning of the second term. However. at the end of the second term we had to say goodbye to him properly, becausehe was promoted to Headof Department at Muizenberg High School. We will certainly miss his ·enthusiasm in the staffroom. His place has been filled by MrCock. In the third term we welcomed Mrs P Hawkins as head of our new Media Centre. Her friendly efficiency soon made an impact, and the Media Centre is indeed becoming a central educational focus in our academic life. Mr RayConnellan took six weeks' leaveat the beginning of the third term. He and his wife Daphneset off on an extended tour of South Africa. His absencemade us realize onceagain what a significant influence he has in so many aspectsof the school.

(a) academicemphasis in the schooi; and (b) effective communication on all levels. SessionI was conducted by Mr Aigie. It consisted of an Introduction, a film "Group Think" and a Follow-up Discussion.

GJH

Session Il. introduced by Mr R Connellan, was entitled "An effective school- through theory and the discussion of theory."

STAFF PLANNING WEEKEND ON Friday afternoon 23 January 1986 and the whole of Saturday the 24th, the entire staff attended a seminar aimed at formulating appraoches and objectives for the year.

In Session Ill. Mr K Richardson focussed on what we are trying to achieve through our extra-mural programme. In Session IV, Mr Algie stimulated discussion on the application of SessionsI. Il and III to Wynberg.

Conversation at the Teachers' seminar Relaxation after the Teachers' seminar

This highly successful venture incorporated the introduction ofvarious topics which were then discussed in full in groups, thus maximizing staff involvement. Not only was it a most constructive exercise in stimulating ajoint focus on relevant areas, but it also served to mould the staff members into a unit of combined endeavour and friendship. At the close of the seminar staff members formulated two central goals for 1986, namely the promotion of

Session V, under the leadership of Mr K Blom, introduced the Theory of the Quality Circle. In SessionVI. under the guidance of Mr Algie, the staff formualted the key words for 1986, namely "academic" and "communication." GJH

Mr Chris Harker

MR CHRIS HARKER AT the beginning of the third term thiSyear the school welcomed Mr Harker asour second Deputy Headmaster. Mr Harket completed his schooling at SACS.where he played first team rugby and cricket. In 1971 he obtained his BSc at U CT in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. He completed the SecondaryTeacher's Diploma in 1973. Mr Harker taught at Queen's College from the beginning of 1974 up to the end of the first term in 1984. While in Queenstown he coached the first cricket team and managed the Border Nuffield side. He also played for the Border Country Districts team. He beCameVice-Principal at Queensin 1981. and at the beginning of the second term of 1984 took up an appointment as Vice-Principal at Grey High School. Mr Harker was a member of the Eastern Province Referees' Society and recentlyjoined the W P one. He ran the Comrades Marathon as a novice last year and completed the distance in 811l hours. He married Jane in December 1978 and they havea son. Guy.whO hasjust turned five. GJH

worldwide. Both World Wars saw the brave. unselfish involvement of Wynberg boys in foreign countries. Mr Matthew pointed out that since the pupils of Wynberg were in a privileged position. they would have to accept the responsibility of leadership on ali levels.He urged the boys to do their best in all respects and to seek to serve ali for the common good. They were also to love their country - not blindly. but with a rational perspective that would attempt to change what was not right. The tradition of self-sacrifice associated with the school should be perpetuated. so that the demandsof our time would be addressedwith a spirit of justice and compassion. If the boys of our school dedicatedthemselvesto changing the wrongs in our society. the paradise in which we live would be secured for ali time. GJH

FOUNDERS' DAY MR Hugh Matthew. M D of Foschini. addressed the school on this impressive occasion.Mr Matthew spoke of his family's links with the school which date back to 1902. Sincethat time a pattern of significant relationships could be traced between important family associations with the school on the one hand and historical events (local. national and international) on the other. The theme behind the correlation of these events was that throughout this century. there has been continual turmoil and change.a trend we can expect to continue. In 1986. the country has been faced with a state of emergency. riots and strikes. while the threat of sanctions loomed large. Throughout the years. pupils of Wynberg had responded to meet the challenges of the time. and had made their voluntary and dedicated contribution

GROUND DEVELOPMENT Wynberg House fields: IN November 1985. the project to build additional playing fields on the Wynberg House site was begun. the expected cost being R160 000.000. By the end of February 1986 ali earth-moving had been completed and grass had been planted. Two platforms had been built The upper platform Is 110 metres by 100 metres in size and can be used as two hockey fields In winter and asa cricket field in summer. The lower platform is

The most severe winter in many years. The fields were not ready to endure the amount 0 water that fell and considerable damage was caused. They are at present being repaired and there IS a chance that some. If not all of the fields. will be in use at the end of this summer. The Palm: By kind favour of the construction firm. National Tractor. a very large palm tree was taken from the Wynberg House Site and planted at the Memorial Gates at the school. It has added to the character of the school grounds. (See page 6). Trees: During the month of August. COinCiding With Arbor Day on the 8 August. 64 trees were planted in the school grounds. The MunICipal Parks and Forests Department must be thanked for their donation and advice.

The next step was to bUild up our collection of audiO Visual equipment and accompanying software. A er consultation with Mr Grobler. Head of the Centre for EducatIOnal Technology. we were supplied with the follOWing: 2 X 16mm Eikl film projectors. 3 Kodak Carousel slide projectors. 1 Coomber record player. 6 equipment trolleys. 4 prOjection screens and 5 casse e recorders. Added to our eXisting Stock of 20 overhead projectors. a musIc centre. 5 X 16mm film projectors. 2 slide projectors. a Coomber amplifier. a slide/sound projector (for making and viewing slide/sound programmes). a Kodak vlsualmaker (for copying slides from books and photographs). 2 cassette recorders. a Sony Video camera. TV and Video cassette recorder. This gives us a very comprehenSive range of audiO-VISual equipment for use throughout the school.

It took an entire term of after-school work to produce this twenty-minute video. but the boys involved enjoyed the experience enormously and learnt a lot from it Many people have been involved in launching our new Media Centre. but I would like especiallyto thank Mr Johan van Rooyen. who piloted the scheme in its earlier stages and who has been so supportive and helpful. Also Mr Johan Louw. who was involved in the initial planning and implementation. gave much support and practical assistance.

and we are constantly looking for ways of building it up. Over 450 transparencies havebeenmounted for use in Science.Biology. Bible Education and History. and a start has been made in converting film strips into sets of slides.All staff photocopying is handledby the Media Centre and a Gestetner duplicator is also available for staffuse. The staff period on Fridays has twice been utilised for demonstrations of the new audio-visual equipment. Mr Richard Hawkins. deputy principal of Bergvliet High School.was invited to speakto the staff. His topic was '"The use of media in the teaching situation." There has beena growing involvement in the use of our Media Centre by both teachers and boys as they discover its potential advantages. Several short slidel tape programmes have been produced as projects and 16 boys are being trained as projectionists with the able assistanceof Colwyn van Renburg. Andrew Tattersal and Mark Schenck continued to video rugby matches. The school plays and some squash matches and coaching were also videad. Although hampered by the lack of more portable equipment.. we have attempted to cover as many events as possible.lncluding the fashion show and variety concert as well as classorals. The most ambitious presentation so far is a series of live interviews of

STD 9 CAMP -1985 IN October 1985 the first standard 9 camp was held at the SOS campsite In ViiiIersdorp. ThiS project was planned and carned out by the Camp Committee, under the leadership of Paul Duval. The purpose of the camp was to bring the future matrles closer together by creating good team spint and emphasising the need for co-operation. There were talks by Mr Todd, Mr Radloff and Mr Groeneveldt of B P. Those who went thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt a great deal about leadership techniques and group activities. Various "brainstorms" were held In order to formulate our alms and goals for 1986. We formed an opinion of what we felt the Ideal Wynbergian should be. The final concert, barbeques and teacher Imitations created a unique atmosphere which has prevailed throughout the year.

DERBY DAYS ONCE again, we had derby weeks against our traditional and respected rivals, SACS znd Rondebosch.

The derby weeks have turned out to be splendid occasions where the rivalry has been keen, friendship have been made and mutual respect has developed between the two schools,

They used Roman pillars and streamers to fill the hall, which ended up looking like the product of a time-warp. Much attention was given to fine detail. Even the serviettes and glasses had an

REPORT ON FASHION! VARIETY 86 THE Wynberg fashion show of '86 was well worth the preparation that went before it. The fashion show and variety shows were outstanding successes. Special thanks must go to all sponsors and mothers who contributed toward the success of both ventures. We also extend our gratitude to all the staff who gave us constant support and co-operation. Close to opening night there was apprehension and paranoia as to whether the outrageous fashion show and controversial variety show would succeed - but judging by attendance and word of mouth. we can confidently say that it did.

"WE PUT THE VALUE BACK INTO YOUR CARPETS"

DEPARTMENT REPORTS ook nie anders gesteld nie enjuis daarom het ons slegs die hoogste waardering vir die werk wat ons Afnkaans-personeel doen. Vroeg In die Jaar het ons sekere probleme geldentJfiseer en tot die slotsom gekom dat. afgesien van woordeskat. woordorde die grootste angel lO die aanleer van Afnkaans is. Daar IS dus besluit dat ons ons veral in diejunior klasse op hierdie kwessie sal toespits. Daar sal in laterjare gesien kan word of hierdie poging wel vrugte afgewerp het 'n Pluimpie vir die Department en uitgewers is dat ons vanjaar nie hoef te gewag het vir voorgeskrewe boeke soos in die verlede al so dikwels gebeur het nie. Ons kon daarom diejaar se werk behoorlik beplan en ons beste lewer. Ons het ook nie vanjaar enige verandering aan ons personeel ervaar nie en dit is nog 'n fak tor wat 'n gunstige klimaat geskep het. Mnre Koekemoer en Van Rooyen onderrig weer eens die Eerste Taal en dit lyk of ons getalle besig is om te groei. Meer van ons leerlinge beglO die waarde (en noodsaaklikheid) van Afrikaans besef. Dit is onmoontlik om so 'n groot departement be hoorlik tot sy reg te laat kom sonder die samewerking en lojaliteit van al die leerkragte wat daarby betrokke is. Langs hierdie weg word elkeen bedank en die beste toegewens vir die laaste skof van diejaar wat voorlê.

ACCOUNTING is an optional subject at Wynberg. This option ISexerCised at the end of the first six months In Std 6 (A Class only). at the end of Std 6 or at the end ofStd 7. The numbers taking the subject this year are: Standard 6 - 109: Standard 7 - 72 Standard 8 - 48: Standard 9 37 Standard 10- 32 - ofwhom 27 are taking the subject on the Higher Grade and 5 on the Standard Grade. Some teachers of the subject feel that it should be compulsory - at least up to Std 8 as a knowledge of Accounting and BUSiness practice IS reqUired In whatever career one may choose 10 later life. Added to this. the general alms of the subject. namely to promote neatness. orderliness. thoroughness and accuracy can only stand them in good stead later on. We endeavour to equip pupils with knowledge of the procedures and fundamental theories which are the basic requirements for the better understanding of business methods and administration which form the basis of present-day bUSiness practice. We try to cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the value and importance of Accounting for private purposes. as a preparation for a career and as an incentive to further study. The revised syllabus which has been Introduced and which Will be written 10 the 1987 matnc examination should result in an even greater contribution to the pupils' preparation for the practical aspects In the world of commerce.

THE ART DEPARTMENT Subject Head: Miss A Ellis ... B A (Art). BA FA. Adv Dip F A. H DE MR Mldlane's departure at the end of the first term meant that I was able to occupy the position once again. The second term commenced with a series of highly competent drawings of female mannequins executed by the Standard 9 and 10 art pupils. The paintlOgs of the mannequins were not of the same calibre. The drawings produced by the pupils from all the standards. display many skilled draughtsmen. and it is the concern of the department to Improve the quality of painting and to raise the academic level of Art History. The Standard 6 pupils are interested in the subject and have produced satisfactory work. The Standard 7 class has been the most enthusiastic. prolific and competitive class. They have obtained excellent results. The Standard 8 class has been at a disadvantage. particu larly 10 the practical section. The class. with the exception of one pupil. is comprised of pupils who have not studied art at secondary level. The large Standard 9

University and who brings with him many good ideas. The day to-day activities of a Biology department for each class Include the inevitable lectUring. the homework. the practical work in the laboratory. the fieldwork. the project work and at the completIOn of each unit of work. the test. A mature department has a minimum of lecturing. a maximum homework load (based on questions designed to be a self-study guide through the theory) and an almost daily practical approach. This ideal is an enormous undertaking and provides the department With a constant challenge. The facilities to meet this challenge are there - the well eqUipped laboratories. the laboratory assistant and the conSiderable audiOvisual programme. This year the pupils have contributed to the department by making models which can be used by the teachers in their lessons next year.

and classeshave produced many good Ideas In the practiCal field. Unfortunately. many of the Standard 9 pupils have not resolved these Ideas and the Standard 10 pupils have not produced any exceptIOnalwork. The department has had much publiCity. thanks to the many exhibitions In the foyer dUring he second and third terms. In addition. there were the displays In the staffroom. the exhibition in the art room at the close of the second term and the combined exhibition of Standard 8 and 9 work With SACSduring the last fortnight In August. A major art exhibition was held on Open Night. which Included a demonstration of primmg techniques In the art room.

MR Peter Oecker decided to return to university In 1987 to follow a B Ed course. Mr Hill filled hiSposition as subject head. while Miss Ashley Edwards. who did her practice teaching at Wynberg In 1985. was appointed In Mr Oecker's place. Miss Edwards leavesus at the end of the year. We wish to thank her for the contribution she has made at Wynberg. Mr Tom O·Reilly. too. decided that the lure of further educatiOn was enticing and is studying fulltime for an Honours degree in Latin. Miss Nancy Edwards filled his place. We thank her for her positive contribution. Our Senior Certificate results at the end of 1986 were good. Three candidates achieved A symbols while the standard average was 55%. For the first time a positive attempt was made to stimulate an Interest In reading among the pupils. Researchconducted by a Superintendent of Educa ion. Or H Houghton Hawksley. Indicated that there was a direct correlatiOn between the marks obtained by a pupil in all subjects and the number of books he read. USing this material as a baSISthe Department felt that something concrete should be done to encourage readIng. As a result a reading period was Introduced once a week for all classes from Std 6 to 9. In this way the teacher is able to monitor each chlld's reading. A readIng hst IS kept for each child. This IS checked on a

weekly basis. The list also forms a basis for the allocation of marks. which are Incorporated With the oral marks. At this stage it can safely be said that the programme has had a positive effect. It was decided to Introduce project work In Std 6 and Std 9. In Std 6 the theme would be magazine wntIng or some literary actiVity. In Std 9 the focus would be the life and work of a literary figure. The purpose of introdUCing this work in Std 9 was to help prepare the pupil for research and essay writing methods at university. Three staff members attended a successful two-day seminar on the use of the media In teaching. Mr J Koekemoer gave a puppet demonstration on thiS occasion. The department's contribution to Open Night consisted of a Forum Debate. a Reader's Competition and displays of projects and writing books. Parents and boys showed greater interest In these activIties than last year. The English Department functioned well this year. There was a great deal of co operation and liaison and I think we can look back on a year In which the pupils benefited from our combined efforts.

Mr Pretorius splitting no hairs

The alm this year was to improve the image of history among the pupils and to make the subject more popular. Looking at the large number of pupils choosIng History as a subject In Std 8. this aim has been achieved. Next year's aim is to make History more alive by means of the Interesting projects and various teachIng aids.

MR Schooling IS new to this Department and to the school. We welcome him and hope that he has been and will continue to be happy at WBHS. Mr Eva is thanked for looking after the Geography Society. Instead of being a subject with mainly phySical and regional components. Geography has recently widened its approach and has shown Interesting developments. There has been growth in the status of the subject. as its tools of investigation and research have Improved. Also. there is a growth In teachers' understanding of ways of developing and evaluating mental abilities. The new syllabi are stressing more conceptual approaches and also the use of data to develop skills of thinking. understanding and application. Geography now includes enVIronmental. behavioural and SOCialmatters and thus contributes to real-world experience.

THE Mathematics department at Wynberg IS indeed fortunate. We have ten teachers enough to turn other schools green With envy and several of these are Jockeying for position to teach more classes next year. Add to this the fact that men of the calibre of Chris Harker. the new deputy prinCipal. Larr)' Maser and Andy Todd havejoined our team. and It can be seen why we look forward to the future With confidence. We say farewell at the end of the year to two of our staff Richle Richardson. who goes on retirement and Paul Blackbeard. who is taking a year's long leave. Many thanks to both of them for their sterling efforts. and particularly to Paul for his work in co-ordinating JUnior Mathematics.

Mr Blackbeard explainS

Standard Grade: ABC D EF FF G H 5 8 11 18 20 15 5 15 5 Average for 102 pupils = 47% What conclusions can be drawn from the above results? Firstly.judging by the A-symbols and averages. the standard of Mathematics at Wynberg is high -and certainly higher than for many years past at the school. Secondly.judging by the 25 failures. that many boys are taking MathematiCs who by no stretch of the imagination should be doing so. Thlrdly.judging by the 1:5 ratio of HG to SG candidates. the HG level of Mathematics is intended not for the top 50%. but rather for the top 25% of the pupil population. This should be borne in mind by parents and pupils when it is found in Standard 8 or 9 that the pupil ISstruggling with Higher Grade.

* ........ What IS the policy of our Department? Being aware that Maths is not regarded as a soft option. we set our goals as follows:

O.B.

1. to differentiate boys Into as many separate ability groups as possible. and next year there is even a chance of thiS In the standard sixes and sevens. 2. to keep the groups as small as possible in the higher standards - classes of 15 to 20 are common. 3. to give pupils the option of taking another subject (presently History or Geography) instead of Maths. 4. where possible to provide extra classes after school or in vacations: last year's matric September vacation course was a great success. but generally extra-mural commitments of teachers are a real problem here.

LATIN DEPARTMENT Subject: Mr K Richardson. BA. M Ed ALL classes have been involved with themes during the year and the matrics. in particular. have produced researched essays of a commendably high standard. The Std 8's undertook an historical time-line of Roman civilisation and the Std I's have wandered through the ancient world from Fishborne to Alexandria. The Std 6's have constructed Pompeian houses and can inform Interested listeners of the delights of Pompeii. John Mills and Michael Morris in Std 10 championed the cause of the arch-conspirator Cataline in an interschoois Latin Debate. while Kevin Laithwaite (Std 8) and Graeme Cowley (Std 7) brought us great credit in the Interschoois Latin Quiz at Groote Schuur -I was pleased to note the support of the other Latin pupils at these events.

......... Our matrIc results at the end of 1985 were very encouraging as will be evident from the tables below: Higher Grade: ABC D E E (S G) F (S G) 3 6 2 3 3 3 1 Note: 4 H.G. candidates failed but were allocated SG passes. Average for 21 pupils = 51 %.

THERE IS a common complaint by the pupils engaged in Manual Training that the penods are too short. All standard 6 pupils enJoy the mental and physical stimuli for a 6-month penad. They work with mildsteel. copper and brass. learning the techniques of nvettlng. solden ng With oxy-acetylene and shaping copper and steel. They make twO small models. Twenty-four boys take Metalwork from standard 7. The subject IS now divided Into three equal parts. namely Practlal work. Metalwork DraWing and Technology. The practical work for standard 7 and 8 IS prescriptive. In that all standard sevens make a weather-vane. a model whICh covers most of the syllabus. The standard eight pupils make a surface gauge. This introduces them to foundry work. i.e. casting the base in aluminium. and more advanced lathe work when turning the smaller parts. The standard 9 class tackled the problem of proViding mUSic-stands for the music department. We deSigned and made functional stands which were used dunng the musIc evening. The standard 9 boys are now also able to gas-weld very efficiently. Since the prescribed model in standard nine and matm has been completed. a large variety of selfdesigned projects have been produced. ranging from motor-cycle exhaust pipes to a pot;]ie kos stand. The metalwork workshop was improved by the installation of a sound-proofing ceiling which makes for pleasant work conditions. and the moulding benches were altered to allow easy access to moulding sand and cleaner storage facilities.

Zink (Honours) and Beckley (Diploma) played well in the woodwind section. whilst Leon (Hon ours) and Groves (Merit and Honours) entered the open brass section. The Wind Ensemble. With guest artists Vetta Wise (ex W BH S) and Roy Lilley (ex CTS 0) gave a slick performance at their May concert under the able baton of Norman Edwards. In June we held a successful MusIc Evening which consisted of Items by the chOir and vanaus instrumentalist and a vocal solo. An appreciative audience enjoyed the beautiful and sometimes not-so-beautiful sounds. The boys were pnvlleged to attend four "live" concerts dunng the year. They enjoyed the Beau Solei! Stage Band's jazzy brass sounds. Another highlight was Capab's production of Mozart's four-hour comic opera "The Marnage of Figaro". A few weeks later. the boys experienced music of another era with Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman". We say farewell to our matrics: John Mills. Greg Prior. Graeme Keehn and Gordon Sims. and wish them well. Special thanks to Mr Algie for his constant support and encouragement. Thank you. too. to the staff. parents and boys. particularly the Littlewood House boys. for their support at performances both at school and outside. And lastly. to the W B H S music students who essentially ARE the music department: thank you for sitting through hours of scales. rhythmic dictations. Bach's musIC. Chopin's Romanticism. and for making music the fun subject it is intended to be.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT 1986 WHEN it comes to music. everyone agrees about one thing: One cannot learn anything about music unless one listens to it. Thus we invested in a hi-fi system. In this way. we have brought Vivaldïs Four Seasons and Chopin's Nocturnes et al directly mtoour music rooms. This year we had seven subject music students: two each in Std 9 (flute and trombone). Std 8 (piano and violin). Std 8 (bassoon and recorder). and one in Std 6 (piano). The boys. plus other extra-mural musicians. were involved in the many aspects of musIC: practical lessons. the theory and history of musIC. harmony and compositions. music appreciation and vocal and aural training. W.B.H.s. has close links with the Beau Soleil MUSICCentre and I encourage pianists and other musiclovers to consider masten ng an orchestral instrument. At the Eisteddfod in Apnl. Newmark (Pass).

THE Physical Education Department functioned soundly during 1985/86. The following were accomplished:

P.T. in the Gym.

- Restructuring of the Physical syllabus. - A successful Super Sportsman competition. - The continuation of parents' keep-fit classes. - An end-of-year inter-class relay swimming gala In which nearly 300 boys partiCipated. - Mr Schooling gave the GymnastIC Club a new air of confidence. - Additional equipment was Introduced to the Weight Club. - One teacher taught an entire standard.

64.1 %. compared to the provincial median of 56.5% was a tribute to Mr Connellan's good teaching of the top higher grade group. 89 candidates wrote the final standard grade exam. of which 3 obtained A's - R Coe. M de jongh and W Oldroyd. There were 7 B·s. 18 Cs. 25 o·s. 27 E·s.6 F's and 3 failures - 2 FF"sand 1 G.

Mr Radloff

A special word of welcome to Mr Doug Schooling. who JOined our department. My thanks go to Mr Schooling and Mr Kallie Pretorius for their positive contributions. I also wish to thank Mr Duncan Bailey for taking my classes while I was on vacation. Mr Algle's continued interest was an inspiration behind a 90% plus regular participation of our boys in sport. We at Wynberg also Wish Mr H E McEwan. our subject adviser. everything of the best In hiS retirement.

ScIence Lab.

This year. for the first time. pupils have a wider chOICeof subjects and may do Geography in place of SCience. Nine pupils have taken thiS opportunity. leavIng 88 candidates. of whom 37 will write Higher Grade In 1986. 130 Std 9's are doing SCIence and only 11 have decided to give up SCience for 1987. Compulsory projects for SCience pupils were introduced again this year With much more rigid parameters than In 1983. The emphasis this year was on research. Innovation and development of Ideas with an eye to the EXPO competition at UCT In September. Many pupils struggled to come up With something original. and marks were not inflationary. as happened last time. Mr Radloff organised a realistiC mark scheme. A number of these projects were entered in the Science EXPO. w!1ere we were fortunate enough to obtain the following results: First Prize in Computers and Robotics Section to Matthew Warren. Second Prize in Computers and Robotics Section to Simon Medder. Third Prize in JUnior Physical Science Section to Anthony Aspden. The Science Club had another active year with regular meetings and much to show on Open Night. The Science Olympiad exam was attempted by 39 pupils after a few sessions of group work and coaching by Mr Moser. Some encouraging results were recorded. Two participants were placed in the top 100 In the country (F. Hoare 37th with 79.5% and A. Coulthard 67th With 76%). Eleven other boys were placed In the top 10% In the country. The introductIon of the new syllabus for Std 8 last year followed smoothly after the newjunior syllabus In

the previous year -all with minor changes to the eXisting syllabus. The new Std 9 syllabus is radically different to that of the past 10 years. Mr Connellan led our staff team in a refresher course for all Science staff from schools south of Claremont. This c(Jurse focussed on the ''Wet Chemistry" section of the syllabus. which investigates the reactions of nitrogen. sulphur and chlorine. This will be repeated with the Std 9's during the fourth term. Michael Petersen's help was essential in organising the 39 experiments. Mr Connellan had a well-earned rest during the third term and Mr Moser and Mr Greenwood absorbed his classes while he was away. Co-operation in the department continues at a high level. with effective communication at our regular meetings on Thursdays. when progress. problems and SOlutions are discussed. We look forward to good results at the end of the year.

Subject Head: PJ Kriel TAKING Woodwork at school and achieving a high standard of work requires much sacrifice. Before starting work. much time and thought must be spent on deSign. Some of the models made by matric pupils this year have been a great success. mainly because of the time spent working on the design. The Std 9 pupils only concentrated on lathe work. and produced some good work.

BIBLE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

THE Bible Education syllabus requires that all study and discussion concerning the Old and New Testaments should be "Christocentric" . This means that the Person. Work and Teachings of Jesus should be reflected in all that is said and done. whether It pertainS to the Old or New Testament. In standard 1O. for example. when dealing with love. sex. dating and marriage. the teachings of Jesus. If applied in these areas. not only contrast with the commonly held attitudes and actions of modern Western man but actually lead to a more fulfilling and stable relationship between a man and a woman. The standard 9's discover that the "church" is not necessanly what they have been led to believe It IS.Centunes of man-made traditions have given the biblical definition of the word - the body. bride and bUilding of Jesus - some entirely different meaning. The Standard 8's are exposed to the revolutionary teachings of Jesus as he spoke In parables and sermons. The Ts examine the life story of Jesus and the Standard 6's look at the more well known stones of the Old Testament and how their meanings can be applied In a modern context. There is a growing reservOir of audiO-Visual material for the teacher to use as he attempts to bring the teachings of the scnptures alive to the pupils. and their has been a definite improvement in teacher and pupil attitude towards the subject over the past couple of years.

A different method of teaching Science in Standards 6 and 7 was adopted this year. whereby a single teacher taught both the Science and the Biology components of the syllabus to each class. This has allowed for greater flexibility and has curtailed the disjOinted effect of teaching only 31essons per week. The staff have got to know their pupils better as well. All boys were expected to produce a Science project of a research/investigation nature and some very good ones were produced. Many were on display on Open Night and some won awards at the U CT Science Expo in September. Std 6 pupils were also required to build a vivarium to study the life cycle of a particular animal. to bring that animal to school on a specific day and to give a short talk on their findings. St 7 pupils built a model of an organ of the human body.

LIBRARY REPORT

YOUTH PREPAREDNESS 1986

THE library is now being used constructively for research by an increasing number of boys. There is also a growing "core" of fiction readers who continually ask for new titles. We have been helped in meeting these demands by many extremely generous donations this year. Mr R Kaplan donated Rl 800 to the library. half of which Mr Algie very kindly gave to the Junior Schooi. Mrs Toni Dalling and Mrs Jenny Boyce of Caxten Bookshop donated forty books and Mrs Lee sent Shaun to school with a big box of thoroughly readable books. Mr Weckesser has for years now given the school a gift subscnption to ··Archimedes··. Mr Enc Tasker and Mr Townley-Johnson often pop in with books and periodicals. Aldred Coetzee (lOC) and others have also given the library a few books. Mrs Campbell continues to organise our gift subscnption to the "Christian Science Monito(·. Various teachers. too. often donate books - Vince Polden. Danny Meyer and Joe Koekemoer are notable in this regard. All these donations are much appreciated.

Staff: Miss Jackson: Messrs Algie: Connellan: Hili: Louw: Morris: Meyer: Noot: Pretorius and Todd. VP. presented to a standard once during the two-week cycle. takes the form of group talks in the hall and class talks presented by the staff. Standard 6 classes dealt with these topics: (a) The ideal Wynbergian - what the school expects of its pupils. (b) The productive use of leisure time - a talk on how stimulating hobbies help to alleviate the stress of modern-day living. (c) They were told about schooling in Germany by a staff member who spent two years in that country. The scope of the talk including a description of the area. the type of schooi. the pupils in general. the nature and standard of the academic work. sport and the exam system. (d) "Practical First Aid" - a lesson in resuscitation. (e) 'The Peoples of South AfrICa" - especially the Bantu. Similar talks were presented to the other standards. Topics for Std 7 included "Personal Money Management". "Litter" - Is it a Problem? and for Std 10 "Money Planning and Stock Exchange". Two excellent videos were shown on these topics. A more pr~ctlcal off-shoot of VP talks was the establishment of a Western Province Blood Donors' Climc at our schooi. All boys who have turned 17 and who are of sound mind and body. have parental approval and pass medical screening at the clinic. may give blood. From small beginnings - 25 units during the first term. we donated 45 units at the last clinic. JGL

The boys also have access to a large amount of "software" and "non-book materia!"' which. although reflected in the catalogue. is now housed in the mediacentre across the corridor. This material is processed and monitored by Mrs Pat Hawkins. The library assistants have. as usual. been most helpful and I would like to thank David Charlesworth (Head·Llbrarian). Andrew Lamprecht. Steven Elder. John Bradley. Alan Bradley. Trevor Flint. Craig Eksteen. Justin Simpson. Anthony Aspden. Arthur Preston. Barry Knoi. Anthony Davis and Oli Classen for their hard work during the year. James Kipling hasjust been welcomed as a library assistant. KI

The club spent an enjoyable evening hosting 5 A C 5 Interact Club and listening to a talk on adoption and counselling procedures given by a social worker from Child Welfare. The school was also addressed by a social worker Involved in relief work in Crossroads. Other activities involving the Interact Club have been:

IT is most gratifying to report on a resurgence of Interest and activity In the club. For thiS we all have to express our gratitude to Anton Doyle. Chairman of the club. Anton received a Rotary Youth Service Certificate for hiS services. Well done. Anton. The club consists of about 27 members. 90% of whom are In standard SIX. However. at one time or other. virtually the entire school has been involved in the activities. Indeed. the sense of community spint and deSire to help the less priVileged has grown remarkably over the year. Wynberg Boys' High can boast a proud record in this regard. On Sports Day. R21S was earned for chanty by selling suckers to the pupils. The lOB class. encouraged by Paul Gabb. collected R 150 for Child Welfare money donated by the pupils. not parents. In Apnl. Interact Radio was inaugurated With the purchase of two loudspeakers. The following societies have been aided With donations from the club: Avril Elizabeth Home for the Mentally Handicapped. Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association. World Vision. Tape Aids for the Blind. St Luke's Hospice. OasIs Association for the Mentally Retarded. 5 ANC 0 B. and Kupagani. The entire school has been involved in collecting newspaper for resale to a recycling firm. in collecting X-ray plates for the Cape Mental Health Society and in coliectJng blankets. tinned food. old clothing for Crossroads (The Catholic Welfare Bureau). On several occasions members of the Club have assisted In street collections on Saturday mornings. for example for Wescald and the Dominican Grimley School. On one memorable occasion Anton Doyle's 10E class all turned out to assist In a street collection. As ongoing projects. many classes have "adopted" a chanty of their chOice and are Involved In collecting for It. Although not all classes have met With equal success. some have persevered: lOA. With George Hayes. has collected R60 for the Peninsula School Feeding Fund: 100 With Craig EsterhUIzen. has collected for Animal Welfare: 9A Intend sponsonng a child at SOS: 7E. with Peter Hodges. are collecting for the Cape POint Nature Reserve: 6A.

HEAD-PREFECT'S REPORT OUR three main objectives were: (a) to Improve communication between boys. teachers and prefects: (b) to Increase school Spirit: and (c) to Improve standards ofbehavlour and disCipline In the school. As well as contnbuting to chanty. the Big Walk (initiated by the prefects. organised by Std 9's) was also a communication exercise. Question-answer sessIOns With the boys and prefects during prefects assembly also served to carry out thiS alm. War-mes and encouraging classes to support sport on Saturdays as well as guessing the score competition. ete. were all aimed at creating good school spirit. BaSically. being strict and giving people an Incenuve to look neat and behave themselves were our methods of achieVing our third aim. judging by the way In which the school communicated With the prefects at prefects' assembly. I feel here has definitely been an improvement in this field. School spint at vanaus Interschool activities has been fine. but there IS room for Improvement.

STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN UNION SCU THE S C U has had a fairly busy year. With three major activities and many other memorable ones. Our first major event was a mission week in the first term. A group of Bible students spent the week at the school speaking about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it could change lives. Their presentation varied from musical to discussion groups to drama. and they were well received. All in all. it was a very fruitful week. In the second term we were hosts to a Student Rally held in the Wynberg junior School Hall and playing fields. The programme featured a band. followed by a braai and outdoor games. after which the evening was ended WIth a film. Although the committee worked extremely hard In prepanng and organising the Rally. we were rather disappointed with the turnout from other schools. Our annual camp was held In the third term. again in conjunction with the girls' school. We once more appreciated the faCIlities of the Rotary Campsite at Glencalrn. As usual. the camp was the highlight of the year and was thoroughly enjoyed by the 50-odd cam pers. Other happenings such as bands. breakfasts. courses and speakers filled our programme on a regular baSIS. and the Committee. consisting of Andre Kotze (Chairman). Kenny Lloyd. Graham Keehn. Neil Eddy. DaVid Bennett and Alex Mills are to be commended for their viSion and drive in promoting the SC U With such dedication this year. Christians throughout the year have made a stand for what they believe In and the indications are that next year Will be no different Our thanks thiS year go to Mr Botha for all hiS help at the camp. and to Mr Moore for his gUitar playing and aid In organising the camp.

WYNBERGIAN THIS quarterly magazine IS produced by Guy Lundy. who has an editorial staff of fourteen standard nine pupils. The magazine strives to print articles of interest to the widest possible group of Wynberg pupils. The editor and two ofhis staff attended a weekend seminar at the University of Stellenbosch. The course was run by the South African Association of Industrial Editors. On their return they said that they had learnt a lot from this expenence. The Increased cost of photocopying and materials were worrying factors for the editor and his staff at the beginning of the year. but the sale of advertiSing space and a kind offer from a large photocopy company saved the day_ The Wynbergian is to be entered for a school newspaper competition run by the Association of Industrial Editors. and we hope that they do well.

By now. it was more than a turmoil. The rain was pouring down in buckets and the wind had picked up considerably. I couldn't remain in this death trap. I had to go for help. or a tiny log cabin the Vogue Forest would be my deathbed. I summoned up all the courage that remained in my body. collected what remained of my belongings and slipped outdoors into the turmoil. The driving rain stung my face asthough I was being whipped by a thousand men. I stumbled on. trees crashing down all around me. I tripped over an upgrowing root and fell heaVilyto the ground.

THOUGHTS OF A FUTURE WORLD

As I lie here on the bed Many things go through my head things that would shock the world to hear things about which nobody cares. I think of what my future is to be an actor or not to live on this tiny ball on which we spin I will find my future thereinI say now and hereafter that man shall stop the fun and laughter All our thoughts shall hereafter dw'ellin a world that gets ever darker. So now that my tale is told I find the pillow to which I hold and lay my head down with no peacein hold Sleep may come in different ways or I may never see the break of day. PWalton.7B

CABIN OF FATE DAWN came suddenly to the small village of Koakohema in the state of Texas. The star-spangled banner of the evening sky was furled as the glorious sun rose to take its place. As he did each day. John Doolan marvelled at the beauty of the flawless scenario. and the artistic instinct within him rejoiced at the sight. Surely a day with such a beautiful beginning could only bring joy and happiness to all those who would let it? John Doolan certainly thought so. for that same day. while the sky had still been dark. his wife had given birth to their first child - a girl. The couple had been married for eight years and they had begun to give up all hope of raising a family when Mary. hiS wife. had phoned him at the office to tell him the good news. He stood by her all through the pregnancy. At first he. himself. showed all the symptoms of morning sickness and. asthe months wore on. he would delight in placing his hand on her belly and feeling the baby kicking impatiently. And now. at long last. he was a father and he knew in his heart that it was the most wonderful feeling a man could ever experience. He had left Mary at the hospital with the baby and had literally been thrown out of the hospital doors by an irate but maternal nurse. He knew that he could not allow his family to return to a bleak house. so he suppressed his horror at performing a woman 's job and set out to collect such a collection of wildflowers ashad never been seen in the village before. His heart was light as he travelled the gravel road leading to the open fields outside the town's residential areas. Just 87 kilometres away the scene was entirely different. The sun beat down mercilessly on the missiletesting ground of Nova Base4. and shimmering heat waves arose from the desert sand. It was only 2 minutes since the missile had been launched and all the

OUTDOORSit was suddenly very quiet and only the wind stirred silently in the great fir trees sheltering the clearing. The fire cracked and a log shifted in the enormous fireplace of the small. yet comfortable log cabin. The sudden quietness was a sure sign of a great storm brewing. ready to strike with all forces at my shelter. I wondered whether the cabin would stand up to such strain. I thought back to that moment of relief four days earlier when I had accidentally stumbled into the cabin. reassured. Nothing on this earth could have been worse than the terrifying storm which I had experienced that day. Surely if it survived that. "my" cabin could survive absolutely anything. A devastating clap of thunder shook the earth and brought me back, with a jump. to reality. The rain would soon come pelting down with soft thuds on the roof of my cabin. I needed more fuel to keep the fire going throughout the storm. which would surely last the entire mid-winter's night. Anxiously I pulled. with a great amount of effort. my slightly dampened coat over my icicle of a body. Hurri(!(jly I pulled open the wooden door, to be met with a gale-force wind which sent me flying across the floor to be spread-eagled across the opposite wall. I desperately heaved myself up with the support of my unmade bed. The wind was swirling through the room now. disrupting the pile of empty cans which was heaped in one corner of the room and anything else it was able to take a grip of. I leaned into the wind and staggered across the room to the door. using all the energy I could summon from my weather-beaten. frozen body. to force it closed. The room was suddenly silent once again and I gathered myself together to notice that amidst all the confusion my fire had been extinguished by the mighty wind which had swept through the cabin.leaving it fro-

personnel In the control chamber watched their monitors with horror-filled eyes as the small nuclear missile destined for a deserted spot in the Nevada Desert veered off course and began to move eratically· They all knew that if the missile were not destroyed. the incident could be seen as a pre-emptive strike against the Russians.who would retaliate mercilessly. So it was with a feeling of stark terror that the duty officer triggered the self-destruct device and prayed that it would work. John Doolan had already collected a substantialload of the most lovely flowers he could find and he gazed now at a clump of white tulips which werejust beginnign to open their petals in an invitation to the sun's warmth. He was just marvelling at how something which seemed so dead could be brought to life again within minutes by the touch of warmth. when the sky erupted in a second sunrise much more blinding than the first he had witnessed that day. A gale-force wind buffetted him to the ground and it was from a prone position that he watched the town crumble. The village hospital had been a small. singlestoreyed building. so it was not difficult for him to ascertain the location of what was once the ante-natal sectIOn. Horrified. he clambered over the rubble to where a child's arm thrust through the fallen mortar. He could not know whether it was his own or not. but he knew that the child must be dead - killed by the senseless actions of man. He knelt beside the spot where the child was buried and once again. witnessed the miracle of the sun as the child's hand quivered and the taut fist uncurled. With an inarticulate sob of joy. John Doolan began to scrabble at the fallen bricks ... R Falck. 10A

CIVILIZATION SLOWLY the eagle soared in constant circles through the chilly mountain air. Its perfect reflection swooped and soared on the still water of the lake below. Stillness was something that was felt out in the quiet mountain valley. Peacewas not something abstract. it was present in everything. something that could not be destroyed. Suddenly the peacewas shattered by the shot. The echo of man's destruction clanged through the stillness of the valley. cutting it like a blade. The eagle's graceful soaring turned into a crazy. strangled plummet as it fell with the wrath of man embedded somewhere in its unblemished body. N Eddy. gc

AN QPEN WINDOW AGEUSstared. mesmerized at the stars and imagined he could see the galaxy swirling on its axis. since time immortal forging pathways in the inky voids of space with its countless minions. He pondered the progression of intelligent life on earth which had always been drawn irresistibly towards those haughty. harsh gardians of life. Mankind which had always viewed itself with such pride looked with humble expectation to the stars for the answers to problems. expecting almost divine intervention in many cases. Mankind had always expected redemption from the stars. had likened the stars to an open window. through which it could flee the mistake that was earth. The stars were synonymous with safety and mankind had fled to them willingly. Ageus' thoughts were brought harshly back to reality by the cold. biting wind which whipped as a demon over the land. He hurried down the lee of the iceflecked hill towards his house nestled at the bottom of the slope. His thoughts centred on but one necessity: the need for warmth. He reached his house and entered thankfully: his protestations against the cold were met as usual with the silence of emptiness. He made his way though the house until he reached the lounge. There. with deliberation. he lowered his wiry body into a chair and turned on his hologram via infra-red control. Images poured into his mind. only to go unchecked as his thoughts returned to the enigmatic question involving mankind and the heavenly bodies of the universe. Mankind had always felt inferior to the stars and had for many centuries attributed both portents of good and evil to thosejewels of the night. Man had studied the stars hoping to find proof of his existence. When

THE OPEN WINDOW I lie here on my soft bed on this lazy summer day. allowing my energy to be drained away by the warm sun that is inviting me into slumber. I gaze through the open window onto the peaceful garden which has a gently flowing stream as its focal point. and then beyond that to the pallid sand dunes which demand my attention. These everehanging heaps of fine sand stood motionless for just a minute of my day as I dreamed of this source of enjoyment and challenge. How I wished to go to those dunes! Their unexplored vastness excited and provoked me into optimistic and defying thoughts. I stared from the base at the ultimate ridge of the dune. situated right on the horizon of my dwarfed sight Wasting no time. I began clambering up the huge. friendly dune. Its demands on my energy passed unnoticed as I made relatively little headway for my wild. desperate charge. Even when I reached the summit of the cause for my enthusiasm. and saw that I was still very far from the untouched crest where the sand

SCHOOLS

THE subject of multi-raCial schools has always been widely debated and discussed In all levels of our society. but It is becoming increasingly topical In South Afnca. as the issue of apartheid receives more and more worldwide attention. It is understandable that the government has qualms about opening schools to all races. considenng all the Violence and intimidation occurring in Black and Coloured schools - when the pupils are not boycotting their classes. But perhaps the intimidation will cease when those With a Will to work are separated from the anarchists. ThiS separation could be achieved by holding entrance examinations for all pupils. or by Imposing an "acceptance aggregate" obtained from the pupils prevIous years of schooling. I feel. however. that the programme should be slow and progressive rather than immediate. In my opmion. multi-raCial classes should be introduced In the substandard levels. while still keeping the higher standards segregated. The advantage of this method lies m the fact that younger children can more easily adjust to the change than older youths. Then. as these young children progress up the educationalladder. so the new

become a nUisanceto all who come across her. The drawbridge which previously felt the clatter of horses hooves upon its face. is no longer there. To take its place there is a hole in the castle wall which looks out at the world like an empty eye socket. Inside the majestic walls there is what used to be a courtyard. Before today. the laughter of knights in shining armour echoed through this place. The clink of armour. the neighing of war horses and the sounds of trumpets blowing was its heartbeat. Now the heart has stopped. The silence is like a thick mist surrounding the courtyard. broken only by the sounds of crying seagulls. A puny comparison to the sounds of brave fighting men preparing for battle. The great hall once filled with the sounds of laughing children. barking dogs. clinks of silver goblets and the swish of ladiesskirts. is now devoid of life savefor the scurrying of rats. The crafted oak table is broken under the strain of disuse.while the chairs are cushioned with centuries of dust. The great flagstone floor is now deaf to the sound of feet. and has a carpet of weeds. Down a set of stairs not capable of supporting anything heavier than a rat. to the dungeons. At least this area hasn't changed much. having always been wet. dark and filled with the smell of human suffering. The once feared chains now lie useless on the slimy floor. rusted by the blood. sweat and tears of the prisoners. The castle has stood for centuries. proclaiming its defiance against the changing world. Now it is to be silenced forever by the progress of man. Mark McCleery. 7C

system advances with them. As the higher standards leave school. so will racial segregation. There are many advantages in introducing all races to schools. It will accustom pupils to the inter-racial contact which occurs In later life. it will raise the standard of Black. Indian and Coloured education. and serve to form a much needed bond between the races of our country. Multi-racial education will pollute the pure. white schools. a racialist may argue. but has he stopped to consider that perhaps we are perverting the black man's society. let alone polluting his schools? The Black and Coloureds inhabited this land first. not we. We simply invaded this country and forced them out. Therefore. we should be courteous to them - this is their land. Multi-racial schools are in use all over the world. encountering no difficulties or negative response. Maybe these new schoolSwill be the link which will unite thiS country and serve to bond the races - even bring an end to the racial strife and turmoil which divides our beautifulland.

THE LAND I LOVE DRIFTING down the River Moose. wide and long as infinity after a hard and drawn-out day of lumbering: wiping the sweat as it trickles down my sun-drenched face. salty as the sea. With the muffled mutter of my boat motor and the constant slap of water against the rusty-brown sides of the boat as It pierces the crispy water. I make my way down the silent river. deep and wide. Looking out towards the shore of packed pinelogs floating on the rippling water. I see the clustered coniferous pines tall and broad. guarding the mountainside as they compete for sunlight. And asthe warm sun sails over the snow-capped mountains. it kisses the day goodbye. With snow sparkling like newly-cut crystals. the orange sun pierces its last twinkling rays through the dense pines and then melts away behind the silhouetted mountain. Listening as the brooding dove sings its last words. the eagle cries and the caraboa sounds its horn. the boat staggers along. Now the water glistens with a pale orange colour and everything ISas still as can be. as if life does not exist. Justin Heathcote-Marks. 7C

DROUGHT IT had not rained for three years. The old man had seen many droughts. but never one as bad as this. He had watched with growing despair as his crops withered and died. The veld had changedcompletely. from green to yellow to brown. Now it was a full.lifeless grey. The river was as parched and dry as the sandy road leading to the farmhouse. He had been forced to sell most of his livestock. and only the hardy goats remained. They nibbled the dry thorn bushes without enthusiasm in the shade cast by the empty water tanks. Almost every day a dry. hot wind blew from the north-east. but it never brought rain. The wind moaned and signed between the branches of the pepper trees surrounding the farmhouse. The rusty old windmill creaked and groaned. drawing a pitiful supply of water which was scarcely enough for the old man and his goats. His housewas always dusty. asthere was no grass to hold the sand down anymore. The sand built up in the corners of the deep verandah and blew in under the heavy door. The old man imagined that the moaning of the wind was the parched land crying out for rain. and every night he prayed. J Webber. 6A

had already accomplished. As the rest of us fell Immediately Into a deep sleep. the captain posted guards around the campsite. Unknown to us. silent figures dressed in blue overalls and large bamboo hats were stealthily surrounding our position. Desperately in need of a kill. they picked the guards off one by one with cleaming knives that many times before had tasted blood. The thought that all was not well first occurred to me when I heard the faint murmur of a voice which seemed to be giVing sharp orders. I slowly edged my hand across to my weapon. As I carefully drew the gun towards myself. my muscles tensed up. ready to spring into action. I was fully awake now and my senseswere straining to find a sign that the enemy was here. Without warning. I felt the cold. hard steel blade of a knife plummet deep down into my back. I cried out desperately in anguish for mercy ... for life. and as it started to drain from my body. neeting moments of the good and bad times I had experienced flashed through my mind. And then darkness and death closed in and I knew nothing more.

THE sweat was streaming down our unshaven facesas we trudged wearily on through the thick undergrowth. our fingers on triggers. the safety catches off our rines. The mosquitoes were bUZZingaround our heads continuously as we tried desperately but vainly to keep them away. We had been In the jungle for three days. fighting our way through well-hidden Vietcong positions. It was an enemy that only the keenest eyescould seeand that only the bravest men could defeat. As we trundled on. we sensed that hostile eyes were peeping through the green veil of thejungle. watching our every move. The Vietcong laid inhuman traps. waiting to diminish a leg or an arm to a lifeless. meaty pulp. We could never be sure if our next step would be our last. These thoughts continually entered our already twisted minds. twisted from the fear of death ... a very cruel death. Relieved of our heavy packs. we collapsed to the soggy ground. exhausted from the long journey we

The deficit was "one point" in the opposition's favour. My successwould claim three. The failure or successof many lay on my shoulders. The opposition backed off. harnessing their vigour. My team held their breath. My heart beat against my ribs, harder than any beating I had received in the last half-hour. I placedthe ball ... on the dotted line. The dotted whiteness. previously loud in contrast with the green. stared me in the face. It stretched across the field. demarkating our "ten-yard line". Fifty yards yonder, stood two upright poles. Between them lay a horizontal. I backedoff. The ball stared me in the eye.the dotted line penetrated my mind. I was the only observed. The world watched me. ready to mock. ready to cry, ready to rejoice. The world stopped turning. I glared at the ball. then the uprights. then placed a prayer on the horizontal. I approached the dotted line. Closer it lurked. closer. I reached it. transferring the burden off my shoulders. into my foot. onto the ball. into the air. across the first unbroken line. across the other dotted line. Emotion. terrible thoughts. joy flowed through me. The world looked on. Thejourney took hours. The journey neared its end. the ball began its descent.

Only twenty metres away and all sights and sounds from the dirty. seemingly deserted docks disappeared. Further on. the dirty. little. tubby. black tugboat left us and turned back towards the invisible dock. which might have been ten or ten thousand metres away. The sharp. happy little "Bon Boyage" toot which the tugboat left us with. seemed very lonelyand out of place as it echoed across the sullen. grey faces of the waves towards us. I stood alone by the stern rail. knowing nobody on board. On my way to a strange. new land where work was believed to be plentiful. the weather was a reflectiton of my mind. Despite the tugboat's message.this was to be all but a pleasant voyage. By afternoon a thick. dark sea-fog had enveloped us. I had watched it follow us. stalking like a huge, great cat on silent paws. Eventually. it had caught up with the slow, old steerage-ship, swirling around me and obliterating all but the closest waves. as the cat pounched. Nicholas

THE wind swirled around lazily. floating on unseen currents. Fragments of newspaper and leaves milled aimlessly around in the dust arena. The sullen sky glowered from above. beginning to sulk with growing intensity of rain. Everything was restless. quiet. except for the throaty chuckle of leaves. It was a restlessness that had never been there before, at the scantily plastered crematorium. Its bare walls summoned dust and dirt to re-decorate its exterior - but it knew that soon its gapingjaws would hungrily consume the mortified body. Soon, vibrations were sensed by the building; the long cavalcade.with the hulking monster of the hearse. were cruising down the narrow road. The building quivered with excitement. The shiftless wind began to grow steadily and the leaves were picked up and with a tumble of autumn, fell rasping against the wall. Michael

President Mikhail Gorbachev The Kremlin Moscow United Socialist Soviet Republic Dear Sir REQUESTFORWORLD PEACE I am a 15-year-old South African-born pupil at Wynberg Boys' High School in Cape Town. However. this does not mean that I agree with the policy of the South African Government concerning Blacks. In actual fact. I am opposed to it, as I believe that white South Africans should accept that there are other races in this country which have a right to be treated as equal citizens of our country. I am also opposed to violence. and believe that change should be brought about peacefully, by negotiation. However, I am not writing to you asa South African, but as a person in this violence-orientated world of ours. I believe that if you, as a world leader. began putting forward a policy for a peaceful world. other world leaders would soon follow in your footsteps and you would become known as the world's greatest leader.

Only then ISIt of great Importance. However. If no one country wanted to have more military power than another country. we would not have was. as we would probably not have any armies In the world. ThiS sounds like an unattainable dream and I know that It can probably never come about. as people are too selfish and want more and more land for themselves. However. I do be:lJevethat If you and other world leaders met on an Informal baSIS.you could probably come to a compromise and begin to know each others' personalities. not as world leaders. but as people. ThiS would be a start to bnnglng about world peace. The powerful and nch nations of the world should Stop manufacturing arms and selling them to other smaller nations. ThiS would help to bn ng about peace amongst these smaller nations. asthey would soon run out of arms and find that It IStoo costly to make their own. They would then have to declare peace.However. it would be even better If every armaments factory In the world were closed down and all the arms In the world were destroyed nght down to the last pistol. We could then. hopefully. live in a peaceful. non-violent world. ThiS would also only be done by negotiation between leaders of the major powers of the world such as yourself and Ronaid Reagan. ThiS again seems too idealistic but. even If only your country and America Signeda Dlsarmaments Treaty. it would be a step in the right direction towards a peaceful world. I appeal to you to help make the world in which I and my children are gOing to live. a peaceful one. I do realize that thiS ISa very difficult task. as you are not the only leader In the world and there are others with different Ideas.Please.however. think peace.not war.

Dan stap ek tot onder die reenboog wat my hoof met 'n kroon van kleur verSier, Ek word deur die reën bekroon en is een'van sy ySige apostels wat vir 'n ewigheid op die wind se koue strome ry, Die son wat agter die reën se koue tralies as gevangenes gehou word, IS beSig om stadig te verdwyn, Die gryse wolke IS nou beSig om pikswart te word, My hUISis nêrens te vinde me omdat ek hopeloos verdwaal is, maar ek voel nou by my ander hUIStUIS:die huis van die koue elemente waarvan ek 'n lid geword het en waarvan ek my karakter en Siel geoffer het. Ek stap nou tussen die nag se swart bedekking en word deur die koue wind en reën geslaan. "Dit ISme vellig om so rond te loop nie," sê die wind, "Jy moet hUIStoe gaan," sê die reën, Ek is bang en begin hardloop. Hoekoem moet ek hUIStoe gaan as ek heeltemal tuis voel in die winterpaleiS? Ek ISmos lid van die winter se elemente, Ek weet: dit IS omdat ek nog In 'n mens se liggaam geklee IS.'Ek moet wag om van dië liggaam ontslae te raak, Wanneer daardie tyd aanbreek, kan ek met die wIndstrome oor die land ry en die see met sy ySige golwe oorsteek, Ek kan selfs oor die reenbaog loop en met die sprankelende reendruppels speel. maar ek moet wag, Eendag sal die winterkoning my uit die liggaamsdop trek en my aan die hand lei deur sy yskoninkryk, "Kom ySige koning en dra my hUIStoe,"

DIALOOG

BLITS vra met soveel nuusklengheld dat sy ore hoog In die lug opskiet: "Ou VossIe, lUister hier. Het daardie radio omroeper gedurende ons laaste wedren enigiets van jou gesê?" Vasterbooster antwoord sommer met sy stert tussen sy bene asof die hele wêreld aan die einde IS: "Ag nee wat. daar was maar niks oor my gesê nie," Bilts sê verbaas: "Haai! DIS vreeslik, Ek sou regtig gedink het dat hy ten minste 'n goeie woord oor JOu sou Insit," Vossie se stem val In met sy treurige toestand: "Nee wat. dlsjy wat goed gehardloop het en diS ook JY wat die hele glorie van die dag gesteel het." "Nou weet ek hoekom my afrigter my twee hengse groot wortels gegee het," sê Blits dat selfs sy ore verbaas wys. Toe sê VossIe met trane In sy oë: "Ja, en wat het ek gekry? Net die gewone woorde van hoe ek volgende keer harder moet probeer." Blits se stem wys simpatie wanneer hy sê: "Ag man, moeniejOU bekommer me, Jy hardloop goed en self ek moet vir JOu In die toekoms oppas." "Jy sê dit net om my beter te laat voel." Blits sê toe, terwyl hy 'n wortel met sy hoef nader aan VossIe geskUif het: "Alles wat ek gesê het ISso waar dat ek selfs daardie wortel vir jou gee, EIndik ISdit so waar as wat ek vier bene het," "Bilts spaar maar asseblief die mOOipraat VIr Iemand anders, Selfs ek weet dat ek vier lInkerbene het." se VossIe met self-Simpatie.

Die ySige waterdruppels wat aan 'n venster vasklou, die warm kombers waaronder 'n mens skuilIng soek, die mag Ige grys wolke wat met koue oë die nat land wat onsigbaar oor die verlate land beweeg, IS vir my die elemente waarUit my karakter bestaan, Ek hou ook daarvan om op 'n reënenge dag op 'n grys en nat pad, wat deur 'n dorp loop, te wandel. Dit ISvir my bale Interessant om al die ou hUise te besoek, die hUise wat skuiling aan die mens bied, skUiling wat 'n koue windjie van 'n verkrimpte liggaam kan afweer, Ek wil nie een van die skaam en verknmpte mense wees nie, want ek IS 'n wIntermens, 'n mens wat Uit ys geskape IS, Terwyl ander seuns onder 'n warm kombers Inklim en 'n heerlike bard sop geniet, loop ek met my blou lrUI In die strate rond en doop my Wit vingers In 'n ySige stroompie Ek loop sonder sambreel onder

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES CHOIR 1986

& SOCIETIES

lt has been a year of experimentalan In different forms of approaches to drama at school. Miss Edwards directed a cast of junior boys in a spirited production of Romeo and Juliet. SeanHeathcoteMarks (Romeo) and Garyth Bevan (Mercutla) deserve special mention for detailed and Intelligent performances. The experimental production of Macbeth was less successful- certain scenesended up being fragmented and the dramatic flow was Interrupted rather too frequently, On the positive Side,the cast members made up for dramatic flaws by performing With conviction and confidence: qUite clearly, the academiCand analytical aspect of the production was a challenge to the cast. They responded With zest and were remarkably dedicated. The Puppet Club found the script of the play Deathtrap far too demanding and long for a puppet theatre productIOn. At the time of writing, the club members are in rehearsal for a fourth term production of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes. It ISsetto be a humorousand exciting production. All the best to Duncan Mills and his club members. A new splinter club has also been formed: the film club. So far their activities have been limited to a few screenings of videos and the ordering of academic films. Members are going to have to show much more initiative In order to keep their club going. Come on, Grant. What about a few interesting films for the first term of 1987? At the moment all attention is focussed on Rasputin, the main production of the new year, The amount of Interest that thiS production has generated ISalready enough to ensure that It Will be thoroughly worth the effort.

I look back on the chOir this year with a satisfied smile and forget the awkward start we had In the first term. Two new musICteachers arnved at W B H S In January, namely a pianist and an organist. although both had choral experience. It IS heartening that within weeks the boys sang "Stouthearted Men" at an assembly. In May, sixty-five boys sang a Zulu Traditional at the City Hall Eisteddfod. Unfortunately we were dlsquall fied for "technical" reasons. However, we continued perhaps even more confidently and the SpeCialchOir brought home a merit for their acapella version of "Magallesburgse Aandlied". A week later there was an all day workshop at the Girls' School. combining With SACSand Bergvliet. No one Will forget he hours spent on "Never-weather" (0 come qUickly) or the sound of "Cindy" sung by 300 vOicesto a full-house audience. Two days later the chOir performed at our own MusICEvening and "Bayesa" had more Impact than at the City Hall. At he beginning of the third term, a ChOir Camp was held at Noordhoek. We prepared flat-out for our ChOirConcert two days later. Our guests were W BJ S, W G H S and Rondebosch, the latter two chOirs giVing awe-inspiring performances. The evening ended on a high note (!) With all 230 vOicesfilling the Clegg Hall. ThiS Introduced Wynberg to a new and unexpeCted experience: an encore! The best compliment came from the Headmaster, who asked the boys to perform to the whole school the follOWing day, On Founders' Day we were JOined by the junior School descant vOices.We look forward to welcoming those Std 5 boys to our chOir next year. Next on the list was the Afrikaans Eisteddfod. ThiS was qUite an experience, as Wynberg was the only English entry and only boys' school. The repertoire Included an Afnkaans folk tune. the old faVOUrite"Yel low Bird" and the ever-popular "Tshosholoza". We were rewarded With an honourable men Ion. Our thanks go to the Headmaster, staff, boys and parents for heir support throughout the year. We lose ten matrIcs and hope to see them jOining the Old Boys' ChOir next year To he eXisting chOir' well done on your chOir commitment thiS year and good luck for e next.

BRIDGE CLUB 1986

CHESS CLUB

Master-m-charge: Mr L Moser Chairman: B Pureveen Vice-Chairman: S Balkweil Secretary: T Glaum Treasurer: M Steenbeck MANY new members have joined the bridge club. which meets fortnightly. It has been pleasing to see the enthusiasm of the new members. Some boys have taken to playing at breaks In order to improve their game. Most of the membership consists of Std 6 and

Ts. Various inter-school activIties were planned. but due to problems from the other schools where Bridge is not in vogue. none of these activities took place. Interhouse bridge games have been planned for the fourth term. I would like to extend my thanks to Miss Jackson and to Mr Moser for their useful ideas and encouragement and to our members for their valued support. A special thank you to the committee members for their suppOrt during the year.

THE CALLIGRAPHY SOCIETY THE club had 10 and 15 dedicated members. The committee consisted of Andrew Lamprecht (Chairman). Murray Johnson and Antony Davis (Secretary). Members who attended regularly Included S Clapham. N Groves. S Connellan. G Alexander. M Rice. 0 Treadwell. B Holloway. C Eksteen. K Visser and E Postlngs. HJ

CAREERS SOCIETY THE Careers Society is a very worthwhile sOCiety at this school. Open to all. it tries to cater for the needs of these pupils who wish to explore various careers when they leave school. With this in mind. we have made a special effort to bring in speakers from different walks of life. This project has been very successful and the number of pupils who turn out for these talks ISvery encouraging. Frank discussion takes place and questions are freely asked. It IS very satisfying to see the interest displayed by the pupils. an interest which is qUickly noticed by the speakers. With the result that they have all felt that their trips to the school have been well worth their time and effort. Ddl

THE chess club has grown to be one of the most popular venues during the societies period. We have averaged well over 60 members. the lowest number being 50 dUring the matric exams. Our highest attendance of over 80 spilled into several classrooms and the outside board In the quad. The school has purchased extra small sets to Increase our total number of boards to 35. of which 15 are of reasonable match standard to be able to play three team matches at home on Fridays. Practice games and a variety of speed. doubles and championship matches have been taking place regularly dUring breaks. With the first open school championship being played for a long time (or first ever?). Chris Whitehead. the number 6 seed. caused upsets by beating the number 3 seed Marc du Plessis and the number 2 seed Reece Harvey. The semi-finals over three games between the number 1 seed. Orne Krafchik. and the number 4 seed. John Bradley. had to be replayed after the first contest was a draw. The final on open night was played between ChriS Whitehead and Lorne Krafchik both of the 8C class. ChriS won the first game with some good attacking play then Lorne equalled the next day and the decider was played at the beginning of the fourth term. The overall winner was: Lorne Krafchlk. John Bradley beat Reece Harvey for third place. The first interclass round robinS were played on Open Night involVing over 30 players. Jeremy McLaughlan beat Steve Bryant (both of 60) In the Std 6 finals. Reece Harvey beat Paul Allerdlce (both of 7E) in the Std 7 finals. Gary Kalt (the third player from 8C as both players in the championship finals were also 8C) beat Lee Slabber of 80.

ledge of his subject and his integration of the media impressed those present. Mrs Carol Dreyer. an executive from the advertising world. discussed the concept of packaging - giving a product a unique advertising design. The boys were most Impressed by the number of specialists involved In thiS process. As could be expected. the slides were outstanding. Mr Jakov Mutnlk. a RUSSianexpatnate who has also been Involved in deepsea diving and computers. proved very popular. He spoke bnefly about the training and danger factor involved in diving and conducted the rest of the session as a question-and answer session. There certainly was not enough time for all the questions the boys wanted answered and Mr Mutnik will probably have to be invited back. Questions ranged from frostbite in -400 Siberian winters to freedom of movement in the Soviet Union. Another speaker who greatly impressed the boys. was Robin Carlisle. a member of the President's Council. He discussed Crossroads and present-day problems. leaving the boys to consider the consequences of migration to the urban areas. The matrics and Std 8 geographers found this talk particularly interesting. as it forms part of their Geography syllabus. David Zink from gA. used a model he constructed from photographs taken while in England to explain canal water control. Mr Morris. head of Geography at Wynberg. presented an interesting slide show of his trip to the Himalayas. Aiden Coulthard from 1DA. presented an interesting slide show on Europe. The films shown ranged from Oceanography to Astronomy. One interesting experiment was the joint Geography Society/Piscatorial Society meeting. where the boys looked at sea horses and migrating trout. The society has certainly retained its reputation as a dynamic. informative forum.

COMPUTER CLUB 1986 The committee consisted of: Chairman: K Hubbard Secretary: M Warren Editor: J Laurenson OUR major mistake was that we did not formulate definite goals. I am sure that next year"s committee will rectify this error. Nowadays computers are very important and in this sphere. Wynberg is lacking. There are. however. several positive aspects. This year we managed to acquire a room ofour own as well asa third computer. We also Introduced a club magazine. thanks to the efforts of J Laurenson. We would also like to welcome our new Master-incharge. Mr Creed. to our club. Our thanks to Mr Rushby for his contribution. Open night was a success.

THE FOLK MUSIC SOCIETY Chairman: John Mills Secretary: Greg Prior WE have been spending our time thiS year working on contemporary forms of music taken mainly from popular musicals. for example "Cats". as well as looking at the works of various artists. The nucleus of the society is instrumental. with voices being added to various songs. Our instruments can be divided into two categories: namely stnng and wind. Our stnngs include the piano. guitar and violin while a flute. recorder and trumpet form the remainder of the complement.

GEOGRAPHY SOCIETY

GERMAN SOCIETY

Chairman: A Coulthard and R Templeton Secretary: M v Bentheim Committee Member: M Badiall Teacher-in-Charge: Mr Eva

THE German Society consisted of about 15 members this year. Attendance was regular and the boys made good progress. Stress was laid on basic. praCtical Germans which would enable them to hold simple conversations. The method of Instruction was the overhead projector and emphasis on participation and repetition. At thiS stage the boys are able to conduct a basic conversation. ask for direCtions. book In at hotels. buy tiCkets at railway stations and order In restaurants.

ONCE again. the Geography Society had a very full and varied program. with sometimes eighty pupils attendIng the talks given by guest speakers. These ranged from nuclear energy to seismiC activity. Prof. Dutchewitz from U.C.T. discussed the energy of the future and dealt very sensitively with the problem of nuclear waste. His slide-talk was very well attended. Mr Rob Harris. who is currently working towards a Structural Geology doctorate. addressed the society on fault zones in the earth's crust. and explained the background to the earthquakes In the region of the San Andreas Fault.

HISTORY SOCIETY 1986 THIS year. along with most other societies. the History Society has been relatively active. Topics covered have varied considerably and several guest speakers have attended some meetings. One of our matric pupils. Roger Falck. spoke about nuclear arms and disarmament: Mr A Blackbeard spoke on the Amencan CIVil War: Mr G Eva discussed vanous political parties In South Africa since the inception of Union In 1910. Oneof the highlights of the year was a VISit by two members of the "Let S.A. Speak Campaign"'. Several videos and films have also been shown. one of the most interesting being a video covering present actiVities of the KGB. The year culminated In a History QUIZ entered by 27 pupils. Three boys Paul Duval (Std 10). Derek Marshall (Std 9) and Trist<ln Middup. eventually reached the finals after a series of preliminary rounds. The finals took place on Open Night.

MAGPIE SOCIETY ALTHOUGH the society was slightly smaller this year. the members attended meetings more regularly. The club has managed to utilise every societies' period to the full with talks on assorted collections. These tncluded anything from medals and badges to old bottles. keyrlngs and even knives. I am tndebted to Robbie Vaughan and Alan Middleton. whO acted as secretary and vice-chairman respectJvely.Thanks. too. to Mr Louw for showtng interest in our hobbles.

MOUNTAIN CLUB THIS year our MountaIn Club has had numerousJoint ventures with the Wynberg Girls' High School Mountatn Club. One of the mos memorable of such occasions was the Boland Trail. DUring the March holidays twenty-four scholars. three staff and one parent squashed into two school buses. The weather was extremely cold and we experienced many cloudbursts dUring the morning. After 24 km of gruelling hiking. we reached our destinatIon. namely Landroskop hut. The follOWing day was beautiful. With temperatures reachIng 30 C. After 5 km of hikIng. we stopped at a rock pool and the brave had a brief sWim in the 10°C water. After 12 km. we stopped at another rock pool and had a well deserved lunch. Of the remaining 10 km. 5 km was a stiff uphIll walk followed by steep 5 km downhIll section. The combInation of the ascent and descent left moSt of the party very weary. but happy to be at the overnight stop. namely Boesmanskloof hut. By 17hOOeverybody was accounted for. The last day's hIke was only 11 km. but was partIcularly tiring. However. everybody reached Franschoek Pass safely. Speclallhanks to Mr MOrriS.WIthout whom the hIke would not have been possible.

IRON MAN CLUB THE Iron Man Club was established a year ago by Mr Cross and K Lloyd (Chairman). The Committee for 1987 consIsts of N Salt (ChaIrman): R Willey (Secretary): and W Fish (Administra-

CEDARBERG ON Thursday 25 September. together with 12 Wynberg girls. we departed from Silverhurst and headed for Algeria Forest Station In the Cedarberg. There were 24 In the party: 10 pupils and 2 teachers from each school. Shortly after arnvlng at Algeria we started our climb. which consisted of the "73 Zigzags". ThiS led us to Middelberg. where we were to spend the first night. Although 2 huts were available. the majority of the party slept outside. Squashing together like sardines. we managed to keep warm. We rose early the next morning and made our way to the Welbedacht Cave. where we again spen the night out In the open. Those who were fit enough to do extra walking woke up early on Saturday morning to climb Tafelberg. JP

Chairman: Marc MaraiS (Std 9) Secretary: Jacques MaraiS (Std 10) Treasurer: Robert Verburg (Std 10) The society has con Inued to produce posters for cultural activities and art exhibitions. DUring the third term the society adopted a new title. The Art Society. as it has extended its actlvl~les to include the mounting of exhibitions In the foyer. The incorporation of other actlvities has attracted an enthusiastic group of younger members - one pupil from Standard 7 and three pupils from Standard 8.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

THE committee can look back on a successful year. The club has about 80 members and meetings were well attended. Highlights of the societies periods were the short laboratory tasks in which all members participated. An element of competltion was also included by the awarding of small prizes to those who did well. The first task was a simple titration where members. using an Indicator. had to determine the amount of acid required to neutralise a basic solution. Second was the determination of the percentage water of crystallization of copper sulphate. The third was a varIation on the Iodine clock (devised by Fred Hoare). where members had to find the correct combination In which the solutions had to be added. The club also went on two excursions. The first (arranged by Alden Coulthard). was a trip to the observatory. Later there was a Comet Watch in which our fifty boys stayed out all night on the school fields. At 4 a.m. the boys had a chance to see a clear. though faint. view of Halley's Comet. Aiden Coulthard also arranged an excursion to the Caltex Oil Refinery. Tony Massella continued to order films. There is also the question why most of the club's practical work and self inquiry ISdone by the standard sixes? Projects have again been entered for the SCIence EXPO. R Rand C C

THE year started on a bad note. because we had to move the darkroom to a new venue. It took about one month to get the new darkroom Into working order and another month to add the final touches. The sOCIety held a competition which attracted a fairly good number of entries. ThiS competition was entitled "Night Lights". It was won by J Hahndiek In Std 6. The darkroom was often used dUring the year. A Coulthard and B Murphy being the most active in thiS respect. On Open Night we had a good display of photographs. Photographic equipment supplied by Tokai Pharmacy. RAusten. S Elder and G Leon was also shown. RAusten gave a printing demonstration to a group of parents. We also had an effective slide show. The committee decided to name J Hahndlek as photographer of the year. I would like to thank the committee and Mr Todd for all their help and support.

PISCATORIAL SOCIETY THIS Society has had a most successful year. Activities included videos. films and talks during society periods. The talks ranged from spear-fishing to fly-fishing. Society competitions were well attended and were held at Princessvlei. Zeekoeivlei and the Cape Town Docks breakwater. The most successful angler was Bill Miller. He was fourth in both freshwater competitions and won the Cape Town Docks competltlon With cobs of 600 g and 1.1 kg.

TEN CLUB TH E format of the 1986 10club differed somewhat from that of prevIous years. The club consisted of 10 matncs and 3 Std g's. Evening diSCUSSions were held at least tWice a term. Fred Hoare gave an interesting talk on the eternal question of evolution and religion. An entertaining debate followed a talk by Craig Collins on "Cloning" and Its possible side-effects. Other topics were the Side-effects of contemporary Rock MUSIC,the Shroud of Tunn. the moral aspects of a pre mantal

THE alm of our society IS to promote an interest In wildlife and to gain a better understanding of this subJect. We also alm to help In at least one fund-raising effort per year and to establish a fynbos garden In the school grounds. In the first term. a speaker from SA COB talked to us about the conservation of coastal birds. Dunng the first meeting of the second term. a beautiful film on the Killer Whale was shown. A

number of other films were shown during the term in order to give members a better understanding of conservation. An outing to the World of Birds was organised and enjoyed by all. A number of films have been shown this term as well. The fynbos area was cleaned up again due to pollution by vagrants. Seeds obtained from the Botanical Society were distributed among members for cultivation. The Committee worked hard in preparing for open night. which was a great success.A geometnc tortoise cake (generously donated by Mr Botha) was raffled. It raised R9D in aid of this endangered species. Many thanks to all parents and boys who supported this raffle.

the house

Cricket: Rhodes was placed in third position. We had a chance to win. but unfortunately we did not take our chances.

WE started off the year with nineteen new boarders and two new house masters. All settled down quickly and the traditional house spirit was rekindled for yet another year of striving for first position. First on the agenda was the Interhouse Athletics. where we came second overall. although we led all the way on the stands. R Postings and F Bowmaker-Falconer excelled in the sprinting events. The house really showed its quality by winning the waterpolo and coming second in the gala. Special mention must be made of Bruce Goodwin. Kenneth McTavish and Sean Miz.en for their efforts in these two events. With winter came the hockey and rugby seasons. The house came fourth in the hockey and third in the rugby. with the Under 19 team losing only one match. and the under 15 team winning all theirs. The following played very well: Sean Miz.en: Bruce Miz.en: C Kotthoff. R Boome. B Goodwin. S Balkweil. R Postings and F Bowmaker-Falconer. In the cross-country. the seniors did extremely well. with R Buchanan coming 8th. 0 Mills 9th. A Mills 10th and R Reid 14th. This gave us first position in the senior age group. Although thejuniors did not perform as expected. S Misdorp came 6th. with the result that the house was placed second overall. Once again Littlewood excelled in the cultural fields. We won the one-act plays. as well as the following awards: Best Director - A Tregurtha: Best Actor R Penn. and Best Supporting Actor - P Mills. Littlewood came first in the Academic sphere for the first term and second in the second term. M Steenbeek and 0 Mills obtained academic colours. Towards the end of the third quarter Littlewood's expectations remain high. since we are the closest in years to winning the Friedlander Shield. Special thanks must go to Mr Algie. Mr Greenwood. Mr Faiers. Mr Kriel and Mr Petersen for their encouragement. as well as to Matron Smith and Sister de Klerk for our nourishment. not forgetting Mrs Algie

Athletics: The House. although the most spirited. came fifth in the athletics. Scott McDonald was the outstanding athlete. Cross Country: Scott MacDonald won the interhouse cross-country. but we were unfortunately placed fourth. Swimming: We were placed fifth. Richard Opie performed well. winning four events. One-Act Plays: Our leading actor broke an ankle. so rehearsals had to be postponed. We managed only fifth place. Cadet Band: Our cadet band had four Rhodes House members: Gary Gold. Gavin Gordon. Alistair Main and Graham Leon. Hockey: We were placed first in the interhouse hockey competition. Academics: Rhodes house was placed first for the first time. Congratulations to the boys of the house. This year Rhodes was not the most successful house. Special thanks to Mr Blackbead. Mr Palden and Mr Louw for all their work.

GG VAN RIEBEECK VAN RIEBEECK gat off to a good start by winning Sports Day. Athletes such as Craig Smith. Marc du Plessis. Neil Eddy. John Price. Bruce Sharp and Jose da Costa brought home the points in the senior sections. while Warren Le Roux. Wayne Spolander and Peter Cowen made valuable contributions in thejunior divisions. Van Riebeeck came fourth in the gala and third in the interhouse-waterpolo. Those who represented us in these areas were Craig Smith. Andre Kropp. Warren Butler. John Slauck. Wayne Spolander and Robert Williams.

On the cricket field we once again obtained an overall third place with John Mullins. Bruce Sharp. Jose da Costa and Julian Kidweil playing well in the senior section. while Brian O·Conneli. Shaun Lee. Peter Cowen and Dennis Bowditch all played weil In thejunior section. Van Riebeeck won the interhouse-rugby With some good play in the U-14 and U-15 sections. We came third In the Interhouse-hockey. Our interhouse-squash team. consisting of Brian O·Conneli. Charles Bent. Riaan Slabbert (a1l3 are In the WP Schools' Squash Teams). Casey AugustJdes and Jan de Nier. secured another first place. Jan de Nier won all four of his matches. Craig Smith also represented our first golf team. while Anton van Heerden was 1st team tennis captain. On the cultural side we also did relatively well with our play "The Sniper". which was directed by Guy Lundy. Actors included Lance Bowes. Brian O·Connell. Richard Holdstock and Jason Brown. We achieved third place. Guy Lundy was also editor of 'The Wynbergian" . while Neil Eddy was editor of "The Running Comentary".

WELLINGTON

HOUSE

THIS year Wellington came second on Sports Day and won the annual gala for the third consecutive year. Among our best swimmers were G Manson-Smith. S Keyter. M Pfister and G Heathcote-Marks. Wellington did very well to win the cross-country this year. Our star athletes were SKotthoff. D Vaughan and M Bassett in the junior race and R Vaughan. S Vale and A Coulthard in the senior race. Our rugby teams disappointed. coming last in the inter-house competition. Our hockey sides were not successful either. Our cultural activities contributed largely to the success of the year and our house play "Rough for Theatre lI". directed by A Lambrecht. achieved a well-earned second place. We would like to thank Mr Hill for hiS continued support and unfailing enthusiasm. which contributed largely to the success of the house. and also the house staff. committee and pupils for their willingness. cooperation and participation.

Wynberg also had a very successful Cape Schools' Week at King William's Town. where we were the top SChooi OUt of 8 schools taking part. All these achievements would not have been possible If It had not been for the hard work of all the runners and the coaching of Mr Mike Moore. Words cannot express our gratitude for all the hard work done by Mr Moore for cross country at Wynberg.

AFTER New Zealand had beaten England earlier this year. their captain. Jeremy Coney. said "Determination and character that ISwhat cricket is all about". Basically it IS about piCking people who have character people who can cope with a stressful situation. Hopefully this is what ALL sport at Wynberg ISabout _ but especially cricket. Above all sports. cncket IS a game where the result IS In doubt until the last ball has been bowled. Schoolboy cricketers must be taught the qualities which Mr Coney emphasizes. In calcating these principles lies In the hands of Messrs Richardson. ten VelthuIs. Polden. Bromberger. J Louw and P Louw In the U 19 diVISion. Messrs R Connellan. j Joubert. C Harker. W Creed and T Connellan have taken on the responsibility at U 151evel. while the U 14's have been competently handled by Messrs Maser. Rushby. Bailey. MOrriS and Harker. Our thanks to all of them for the many hours they have saCrIficed In the Interest of Wynberg CrIcket. The servICes of Mr Martin Stovold are invaluable. HIS enthusiasm. competence and efficiency are beyond question. No school could ask for a more loyal and hardworkIng professional coach. Wynberg is lucky to have him. Our appreCiation. too. goes to all the parents who have supported the school With regard to lunches. teas and transport. SpeCial mention must be made of Mrs Upton.

started the season by losing to both Bishops and SACS. Middle-order batting collapses made the opponents' tasks very easy. They could have beaten Plumstead had they held their catches. The victory against Fairbairn was close and the game could have gone either way. The match against Fairmant was an exciting one. Lapses in the batsmen's concentration gave Fairmant a deserved victory. The season ended on a high note with a sound 58-run victory over J G Meiring. There were a number of fine individual performances. The bowling and fielding were good throughout the season. Unfortunately the batting. especially that of the middle-order. was weak.

THE record of the seconds In the last term was poor. but considerably better than the facts seem to Indicate. One Win. 2 draws. 3 defeats. obscures the fact that both draws were moral victories: one defeat was only by 4 runs and the other saw the team reach the record total of 260 only to lose narrowly. The only inexplicable and quite Inexcusabledefeat was that inflicted by Bishops 3rds. Peter van Schalkwyk was an excellent captain. and was aided by such batsmen as MaraiS (knocks of 93. 76. 16). KIdweIl (45. 36). Gabb (37. 34) and Negus (48. 18). Effective bowlers were Tlbbs (5/80.4/51.41 45). Oldroyd (4/38.2/52.2/29) and van Schalkwyk (31 31. 2/5). and the fielding was mostly of a hlg standard.

U15 A CRICKET 1985 - 4th Term: AFTER a very disappointing 1st term the 1985 U 15A's settled down to play far better In the 4th term. although I feel they did not realise their full potential.

Ul SC CRICKET OF the six matches played in the first quarter. this team won three, lost two and drew one. The results are as follows: SACS: 55 all out: Wynberg: 56 for 2 - Won by 8 wickets.

A steady improvement in all players was noted as the season progressed. Particular mention must be made of some players. as their various talents formed the strength of the side. Durandt appeared at first to be useful only as a bowler. However. his batting improved remarkably and culminated in a brilliant innings against Bishops at the end oftheseason. when he made 68 runs. Middup's bowling statistics were always very impressive - against Rondebosch he took 3 for 25: against Bishops 4 for 17: and against Fairmant 4 for 6. Both Williams and Scholtz should develop into fine batsmen. The team was well captained by Roland Amm. who was also a very safe wicketkeeper. conceding few byes.

UNFORTUNATELY. this hardworking side could not build successfully on the first term's results. Matches were lost to strong opposition. often because the boys did not believe in themselves. Simon Rogers was undoubtedly the best bowler. taking 12 wickets at an average of 9.8. Wayne Dante is a fine spinner and turned in his best performance of 6 for 19 against Plumstead. However. he often lost heart when a batsman began to play him confidently. With a bit more confidence he can develop into an excellent leg-spinner. Shahl de Meuter was again our top batsman. with a natural flair for attacking the bowling. He scored 11 7 runs at an average of 29.3.

The boys produced some sparkling. entertaining cricket during this term. Craig Turvey captained the side competently. turning in some brilliant batting performances and fielding extremely well. Denis Bowditch and Adrian Carter proved to be a formidable opening attack. between them taking 23 of the 45 wickets captured. The top order was consistent and the fielding

LG M U14B CRICKET WHILE the team generally bowled and fielded well. lack of application in the batting department caused the side to lose four out of six matches. The team lost to Bishops by 4 runs. to Rondebosch by 68 runs. to SACS by 36 runs and to St Josephs by 17 runs. However. we had convincing wins over Sea Pomt (133 runs) and Bergvliet (9 Wickets). The top-order batsmen failed to score runs consIstently. and only De Nier (75 not out) and Heron (44) made scores of over 20 runs. Hanssen and Bam were the next best batsmen. each sconng 50-odd runs during the season.

SC U14E CRICKET

First Term - 1986

INITIALLY the team consisted of Allardice (captain); Woodbine: Ooidge: Baxter: Nairn; R6hrs: McCormick; O'Alton: Flint: Carew: and Hultzer. This team played well against SACS. defeating them by 4 wickets. In the second match against Cape Town. after scoring 114 runs for 5 wickets (limited avers). the team lost by 6 wickets. The next two matches. against Rondebosch and Zwaanswyk. were lost by 10 wickets and 9 wickets respectively. as the team had been drained of half its players. In the last three matches. namelyagainst Westerford. Paul ~oos and Windsor. the exising players such as McCormick. Woodbine and Rohrs as well as new playe~s like Gamsu. MacLachian and Webner. Improved magnificently. resulting in our winning 4 matches and lOSing 3. We look forward to the fourth term.

IT was a difficult season for the under 14C cricket team. The team repeatedly dismissed their opposition for fairly low scores. but their batting let them down on numerous occasions. For example. hey dismissed a strong Rondebosch batting line-up for 91 runs and could score only 26 In reply. There were some OUtstanding boWing performances. particularly by Chris Leipold and Dean Scorey (who was also the captain). The highlight of the season was a hnlhng one-run VictOry over Fish Hoek. Wynberg were dismissed for 84 runs (Scorey 45). In reply. Fish Hoek were soon in trouble (Leipold being the main destroyer). but a good eighth-wicket stand turned the tables and Wynberg looked set for defeat. Scorey then took the crucial 2 wickets and a blunder by the Fish Hoek batsmen resulted in the las man being run out - one run short of he target se by Wynberg. Leipold ended he match with the outstanding bowling analySIS of 9 avers. 2 maidens. 12 runs for 5 wickets (including a hat- ruck). ThiS also made him he team's only member of the "5 or SO" Club.

Shahl de Meuter. Kevin Lassen. Graeme Arnott and J P Loxton all performed well in the B Team and should ensure a bnght future for golf at Wynberg.

HOCKEY 1986 was a very frustrating season. The Inclement weather. especially in the second half of the season. played havoc with both practices and matches. Dunng the third term more practices were held In the gym and on the tennis courts than on the hockey field. One of the extremely positive aspects of the season was that Wynberg entered thirteen teams In the various leagues compared to seven teams two seasons ago. However. thiS created Its own problems. as hockey coaches are at a premium at the school. We (!re thus very grateful to the following students who assisted us in a full-time capaCity: Pieter van der Riet (2nd Team): Kevln Dore (U 15B) and Phillip Mirkm (U 15C and D). James Morgan and Grant Fairs also assisted at various stages of the season. A number of first team players also helped coach Junior teams at times. Two tours were undertaken. The first team travelled to Bloemfontein dUring the April holidays. while the U 15A team went to George for a weekend tournament. Congratulations to Grant Haskin and Mark Leach. who were both selected for the WP Schools A team. Bastien RuwIel and Anthony Bishop played for U 15 invitation teams.

Duncan Mills: Left striker: another of the vastly improved players in the first side: good control and stickwork: however. shooting at goal extremely weak. and soft in the tackle. Brandon Spolander: Utility forward: extremely hard runner. but tends to run at same pace with the ball: must work at change of direction and reaction time.

On no occasion during the season was this team outclassed. They generally controlled well in midfield and dominated several games which were subsequently lost. some by large margins. I think particularly of the matches against Brebner (0-4) and Pinelands (1-4). Only one of these goals scored against Wynberg were field goals. The restcame from the controversial shortcorner free hit. This fact underlines one of the key reasons for the team's poor record. namely an inability to convert one tenth of the penalty corners they forced. Several matches were lost due to this and a number of drawn matches should have been won. Another factor in the team's poor goal-scoring record was the inability to round off otherwise good movements. and the generally inept shooting at goal by all forwards. As previously mentioned. the team often controlled the midfield. only to lose or draw the match. Haskin. Wilson. Leach. Duncan Mills and Reid developed into a good combination. but poor play down the flanks tended to negate this.

Grant Crosby-Emery (7 games). John Bradley (8) and Antony Alexander (4) also represented the first team. Indoor Hockey: Wynberg once again entered a team in the schools' Indoor hockey league. which was played from January to March. The team played a total of 7 matches. beating Herzlia. SACS. Rondebosch. Constantia and Camps Bay. and losing narrowly to Pinelands and Plumstead. The team scored 31 goals and conceded 21 goals. The leading goalscorer was Mark Leach with 21 goals. The following boys represented the team regularly: J Mills: G Haskin: M Leach: G Wilson: B Spolander; D Mills: R Reid and C van Rensburg.

MS R Znd TEAM HOCKEY THE results do not reflect the true ability of this team. Lack of maturity in the opposition circle cost us several matches. while crucial defensive lapses too often caused a breakdown in the pattern of our own game. Several players were promoted to the first team at various stages of the season. Grant Crosby-Emery. apart from playing outstandingly. captained the side well both on and off the field. as did Gavin Gordon after Grant had been promoted. Special mention must be made of Antony Alexander. who was promoted to the first team in only his second full year of hockey. The whole team enjoyed the year and were a pleasure to coach. Regulars were: I DArcy: G CrosbyEmery (Captain): B Holloway; GEksteen: K Hubbard: G Gordon (Vice-Captain): D Henrichsen: P Sutherland: A Alexander: J Bradley: B Spolander; F Brewer: A Rule: H Turner; while several other players made appearances in this side. including Bailey and Bishop from the U15A.

Critique of players: Colwyn van Rensburg: Goalkeeper. first year of hockey: good on the straight shot. but needs to work hard at sliding and aerial ball. John Mills: Sweeper: cool under pressure: worked hard at his game and improved tackling especially: however. 16 yard hits were not always up to scratch: good vicecaptain. Stephen Newton: Right-half: did a lot of good work in the cover defence: passing rather poor: tends to get caught in possession and must thus work at peripheral vision and stickwork. Grant Haskin: Centre-back: fourth year in 1st team: captain; W P Schools; good basics; very good on the tackle but must resist running the ball out of defence; passing not always up to scratch. Trevor Scott: Left -half; also good cover defender. but needs to work very hard at the basics. Mark Leach: Right link: W P Schools; good control and stickwork. but tended to go backward too much: must pass the ball sooner and work at his hitting.

Results:

Graeme Wilson: Left link; one of the most improved players: always ran very hard and marked well: however. tends to place himself under pressure and commits in the tackle at times.

3rd HOCKEY TEAM THE Third Hockey Team. led by Selwyn Spracklen. played hard and enjoyed their games even though they lost half of them. The figures were:

Mark von Bentheim: Right wing: extremely fast: started off well. but extremely poor basics let him down too often. Rory Reid: Right striker; had a very good season: good control and good In the tackle: however. scored very few goals; needs to rethink his commitment.

Team spirit together with determination, played a significant role during the season. Such enthusiasm ensured that the team remained unbeaten in their league, However. sometimes the taste of victory became too sweet and the team had to be reminded that nobody was unbeatable, I recall one such occasion when two quick goals by a strong Rondebosch team left us demoralized, Realising that our unbeaten record was at stake, the team showed its capabilities and equalised with two creditable goals, Our sincere thanks go to Mr Kevin Dore for taking time off to eoach the team, as weil as to Kobus Visser and Michael Hastie. who were always available as reserves.

Cape Town: Rondebosch: Westerford:

Bastien Ruwiel has developed into a most able centre-forward and an excellent captain. He requested and received high standards from the team. Left link Peter Mills,justifiably received the award for the most improved player. His stickwork was easily the best in the team, His eo-link, Simon Rogers, distributed and supported well. while Calvin Farmer gave the side punch as a determined right wing who never gave up. Who can forget lain Purchase using his deft left-hand skills down the opposite touch line? Graeme Cowley also. represented the side on the wing and never gave less than his best. Mark Drew sowed up the right-half position with some outstanding tackling and his distribution set up many an attack. Michael van der Poll operated quietly and efficiently at centre-back, always supporting his forwards, yet being back to cover. Many an oppositionforward had the occasion to rue the hard and low tackling of Alistair Bailey, who broke up innumerable attacks. Grant Clark has given early indication that he has exciting ball skills and can read a game well. Anthony Bishop had all the attributes of a sweeperhard hit, good tackle, ability to come into the attack, and a latent (but suppressed) desire to throw overheads. Adrian Carter was an invaluable asset in goals with outstanding sliding and clearing skills, The years ahead will prove the real success of this team. I hope that the lessons learnt in 1985/86 will stand the test of time and that the players will play the game in the same fine spirit at whatever level they find themselves.

We look forward to the 1986/87 season. Our crop of young seniors are still with us and we have made some extensive improvements to our racing craft. We hope to have 70 oarsmen on the water in the new season.

ROWING

OUR oarsmen did not have a particularly good 19851 86 season. We concentrated on our group of seniors. as our "fleet" consisted of only one Four. one Eight and a sculling boat. At the Buffalo Regatta In East London our oarsmen did well against other Cape and Natal crews. The Transvaal crews. however. wereJust too strong for us. In the second fours event. the Wynberg "Lundy" crew gained a second place In their heat. but as there was a four boat final. they did not qualify. Sean HeathcoteMarks entered late for the Third Sculls event and did well to gain a fourth place In the final. Graham Bryant. our U 15 sculler. also rowed to a fourth place in the final. At the South Afncan Schools ROWing Championships In Pretona. the "Lundy" crew achieved fifth place In the 3rd fours final. while the "Bryant" four rowed well to come second In the InVitation VIsitors' fours event. Guy Lundy and Warren Fish were selected to represent Western Province In he Interprovincial Eights race.

AT RUGBY 1986:

THE weather has been unkind. Never have we cancelled so many practices and matches as we did this year. However. we had some good results. The U19E had an outstanding record. We feel that boys with so much talent could have made a commitment to the game and the school. The under 15A. the under 16A and naturally the unbeaten under 14A are some of the teams that did exceptionally well. Mr Linnegar and the Villagers Rugby Club were kind enough to lend us fields for our practices and matches. The Alexander Road fields have been levelled and grassed and have suffered rain damage. Rugby players of all age groups as well as their 86

coachesand parents appreciate Mr Algie's encouraging presence on Saturday mornings. The following coaches are thanked for the enthusiasm with which they helped their teams: Messrs P Blackbeard (Ist XV): T Noot (2nd XV): J Louw (3rd XV): A Cross (4th XV): G Hill (5th XV): K Pretorius (U 16A): R Connellan and C Harker (UI6B): J van Rooyen (UI6C): and Mr Algie the (UI6D): W Polden (UISA): P Kriel (UISB): A Todd (UI SC): A Bailey (U 150): 0 de la Mare (U 14A): Schooling (UI4B): A Morris (U 14 C and D): R Radloff (U13A): and B Creed (U13B). The efforts of the tuckshop ladies are much appreciated. Mr Payneand his assistants are thanked for preparing the fields so efficiently. Market Toyota and Mr Alfie Gabb are thanked for our new rugby post guards. Mr V Poiden and his helpers Graeme Wilson and Anton Gaylard are thanked for providing us with pumped balls for practices and matches. Boys who see to sand and water are thanked. Press attaché Brian Walsh has done an excellentjob collecting results and sending them in to the Argus. to W P H S R U and getting them ready for assembles. The encouraging presence of parents and Old Boys at our matches is appreciated. We thank the referees. without those knowledge and generous sacrifice of their time our matches could not have been played. In this connection. we thank Or Ger and Messrs Levy. Greenblat. Boonzaaier. McEwan. Louw. Snowball. Hopwood. Hammond. J Edwards. Schater. Smit. Rowe. P Edwards. Glaum and Peters. The members of staff who devote so much time to rugby and who also referee matches are thanked.

AJM 1ST XV: TH E 1986 rugby seasonmust rate asone of the toughest yet encountered by a Wynberg team. It comprised 20 games including two tours. the St Stithians Rugby Festival in April and the CapeSchools Week in King Williamstown in June. Unfortunately. only two backline players were available from last year's team. A lack of confidence and a will to win cost us dearly in many games. On numerous occasions when the scores were level. the Wynberg side lost concentration and allowed the opponents to score.

Initially. scrumming was a big problem. The forwards. who were small and light. were often pushed off the ball. After many hours on the machine most of these problems were ironed out. but the pack was never completely in command. They were often guilty of losing concentration at vital scrums. The lineout work improved during the season. The backs. initially starved of the ball. were seldom given the opportunity to show their skills. However. when they did receive possession. their lack of pace hampered their try-scoring ability. Although the results were poor. the season was enjoyed by all concerned and the spirit remained good. The prospects for the 1987 season look promising. However. one disturbing feature of the game is the number of boys who are lost to rugby. The easy options. compounded by some talented players not committing themselves to playing rugby seriously. are affecting our teams.

RUGBY TROPHIES FOR 1986 The Brian Steyl Award for the most improved U 19 player: B. Goodwin The P. de Villiers Wahl Cup for the most improved U15/16 player: R. Postings. The Azriel Fine Cup for the most improved U 13/14 player: T McEwan B. Goodwin was a relatively inexperienced player when he entered U19 rugby. but he showed steady improved throughout the season. until he was on the verge of selection for the A team. He showed fine leadership qualities. R. Postings played on the wing for the U15A team in the early part of the season.However. his work rate in that position was low. When he was switched to 8th man his work rate improved until he was recognized as one of the key players. T. McEwan was switched from wing to flank early in the season. In this position he improved with every game. He proved himself as a lineout forward. The Denis Fagin Senior Cup for the best points fori against record in the U16/19 teams - U 16A.

I would like to thank Clark Ellis. Mr Tom Noot and the 1st and 2nd team players for their support. Also to all the under 19 coachesfor their co-operation.

Durbanville (3-17): Except for the last 15 minutes. the Wynberg team was outplayed. Durbanville pressunsed through good scrummIng. Not finding touch also placed the team under unnecessary pressure. The score could have been much closer had several goalable penalties succeeded. YS

YS King Edward (2-22): Playing In very hot condl tions. the team. weakened through If1JUry.contained the powerful Kes side for the first 30 minutes. Kes for wards scrummed well. The two-pOint penalty rule was Introduced for this festival.

vs Paarl Boys (0-13): The game was closer than the score suggests. Due to a lapse In concentration five minutes from half time, Paarl were allowed to surge ahead with two penalties. Once again myopportunities were wasted.

vs Maritzburg (0-24) U'1fortunately. four key players were not available due to inJury. The forwards were again put under Immense pressure In the scrum. The boys ran out of steam In the last 10 minutes. dur Ing which most of the pOints were scored.

Bishops (0-22): A good first half performance. Defence errors In the closing stages of the first half led to two Bishops tnes (0 8). Starved of possessIOn by YS

the powerful Bishops pack. the Wynberg backs spend most of the second half defending. vs Rondebosch (3-4): A much improved performance in which we had the better of the first half. The forwards played as a unit. scrummed well. and won the bali at No. 2 in the lineout Wynberg lost their 3-0 lead to a try scored from a scrum on the 22 m line.

vs Paarl Gym (6-19): The game was played at a fast pace.The half-time score of 3-3 was a fair reflection of the situation at that point. A soft try from a lineout was a costly error. as the Paarl side took control for the remainder of the game.

Players:

P. Upton (Fullback and Flyhalf): A talented ball player: inclined to miss touch too often. R Adshade (Fullback and wing): A talented back with genuine pace: lacks confidence on the field.

vs Plumstead (23-9): The best performance of the season. Backsand forwards played well. The forwards won suffiCient ball in all places for the backs to score three times.

K McTavish (Wing and Centre): A little slow for a wing: always gives of his best. D Godden (Centre): Very small. but a gutsy player: defence good: captained the side well.

Cape Schools' Week (King Williamstown): vs Dale (6-10): A very poor first half. Many unforced errors allowed Dale two sconng chances. Wynberg fought back with two penalties.

W Freimond (Centre): He has a good feel for he game: only his attitude will prevent him from becoming a fine rugby player.

vs Queens (13-22): An injury-hit but highly motivated Wynberg team were rewarded with an early try. The Queenspack gradually took control of the game. They used their possessionwell and scored three good tries. Wynberg never gave up and were rewarded with a try in the closing stages.

S Mizen (Wing): A big. strong wing; does not use his physical attributes; his defence has improved throughout the season. P Gabb (Flyhalf): A good ball player who improved throughout the season.

vs Muir (12-16): A good game to forget. One that should have been won comfortably but where the opportunities were wasted.

J Marais (Scrumhalf): Started the season well but lost confidence towards the end; tends to decide to break before he gets the ball; always gave of his best.

vs D.F. Malan (3-4): Although this was not a good game of rugby. the backs did have several good runs. An error at the front of the Iineout led to the D F Malan try.

J KidweIl (Loose head prop): A good scrummager; slow around the field and a low work rate. G Byrne (Hooker): An excellent ball player: reprsented Western Province after playing hooker for one term.

vs Bishops (3-20): Wynberg took an early lead and won good ball for the first quarter of the game. Three tries In quick successionsaw Bishops in a commanding 3-16 half-time lead. Great defence kept the Bishops backs under pressure. A try 5 minutes from the end completed their scoring.

W Macdonald (Prop): Initially the third choice prop: worked hard at scrumming; the most improved player in the 1st XV. S Lelbowitz (Flank): A little short. but very quick; always put pressure on opponents from line-outs.

vs Fish Hoek (10-12): In an exciting game in which the lead changed hands on five occasions. it was in the dying minutes of the game that Fish Hoek scored the winning points.

R Boome (Loek): A 50-minute player: unfortunately too light for a lock. W Fish (Loek): An excellent number two jumper; he must increase his work rate and his acceleration; he will be a useful player next year.

vs Rondebosch (0-16): At the end of an even firsthalf. Rondebosch led by two penalties to nil. The Rondebosch forwards were supenor in the loose and consistently pressurised the Wynberg half-backs.

C Hammond (Flank): Improved his game throughout the year; played in all20 games; a little slow for a flank. M Marais (Flank - Hooker): A very gutsy player; very strong. tireless forward. Too short for a loose forward; should play hooker next year.

vs Plumstead (14-6): Playing on a very wet pitch. Wynberg made heavy weather of defeating the

K Carstens (8th Man): Probably a better Oank than 8th man: must concentrate on his ball handling and speed: always gave of his best.

In the fnendly against Rhodes High 1s XV. Wynberg came back strongly in the second half after trailing 9-0. The final score was 15-12. Kenny Lloyd providing telling overlaps by jOining the backhne from fullback (as he did throughout he season). Bruce Goodwin diSplayed hiS talents as the hne-ou jumper and Anton Doyle's eye for a gap became eviden . Our forwards won the game against Durbanville. sconng four tries without return. This time Robert Gomm starred at forward. Complacency led to our defeat at the hands of Paarl Boys' High. There was a lack of aggression in the ackle by both forwards and backs.

CAPE SCHOOLS' RUGBY WEEK - 23/27 JUNE 1986: OUR King WlllIam's Town hosts arranged a tremendous programme for our en ertainmen which included a braaI. a buffet supper. a formal dinner. a social to meet the the young ladies of he town and a tnp to the Ciskei to see a cattle ranch and a citrus farm. Unfortunately we lost our ma ches against Dale College. MUir College and Queens College. However. the tea-n played well. We thank Mr Blackbeard and Mr Noot for being here Wit

The game we all want to forget was against Bishops. who gave us a drubbing. sconng. on average. every 7 minutes. Thankfully. education won. and the 2nd XV realised that there was a grea deal to practice in particular the support play and the ability to pass the ball to a support player before It was smothered. Practices took on a new lease of life and right up to the last session. the boys regarded their time on the Hollow (when it wasn't a duckpond cum quagmire) as lesson time. I must thank Craig Kotthoff and Bruce GoodWin for their leadership in thiS regard. Rondebosch were comprehensively outclassed in the first half (0-9) but they came back very well against

us.

William Macdonald 10A 2ND XV RUGBY DESPITE a poor results record the 1986 season will be remembered for a long Ime. 1nl lally. the team lacked discipline. and throughout the season self-motivatiOn remained the biggest cause of their defeats.

a side which had once again lost initiative. motivation and aggression. So it can be seen that the 2nd team were inconsistent on Saturdays - well motivated initially. but lacking determination to persist for a full game. Team talks involved motivating school boys to play against themselves as one match and the two halves as two separate matches. The way in which the boys accepted criticism and worked to improve technically was most heartening. Fish Hoek were lucky to escape with only 13 points scored against their nil. The holiday made them forget the lessons learnt. but D.F. Malan showed them again what they needed to do. As against Rondebosch. it was all wrapped up in the first half. or so the 2nd XV thought. the score being 12-10 in our favour. We lost 12-34. I think the score tells it all. Our return match against Bishops was thrilling to watch. especially in relation to the previous score. The way we continued to play the entire match against Plumstead showed what the 2nds were capable of. Finally. in nearly beating SACS (score 8-1 0) after being down 3-12 at half-time. and recording a very rare 108 victory against the Old Boys. the boys vindicated all that they had been through and the wonderful educational aspect of a team game like rugby.

F Hoare and G Prior. W Butter and B Schónfeldt played well at lock. Regular loose forwards were O·Dowd. Collins. Salt and Mills. Our regular scrum-half was M Croudace. and our centres were Slypen. Kets and Seymour. Willey. Eddy and Feist served the team well on the wing. The season ended with a fine win against a determined SACS team. I wish to thank the players for their enthusiasm for and dedication to the game. JGL UNDER 19D RUGBY THE fourth team always played with the good spirit which is expected of every W B H S team. We did. however. have the problem where players were continually being lost to higher teams when injuries and illness set in and this is reflected in the results:

FIFTH RUGBY TEAM THERE were insufficient players in the under 19 league this year to fill a fifth team. However. it soon became apparent that several talented sportsmen who had committed themselves to alternative winter sport were in fact willing to play matches for a fifth team. The result was that these players developed into a most enthusiastic. successful unit that enjoyed the season tremendously. Captained by Craig Smith. regular players were: Esterhuizen. Tredinnick. Blythe. Duval. McKay. Mills. Boster. Dunstan. Bastick. Rossiter. Abrahams. HeIgeson. Templeton. Finneran. Bennet. Balkweil. Van Eck. Ansley. Knight. Roos. Their unbeaten record reads as follows:

U-16 B RUGBY DESPITE being a most unsuccessful team. the U-16B boys enjoyed their season. tried hard at practice and during matches and many undoubtedly improved as individuals dunng the season. Many of the matches were far closer contests than the score suggested. but a lack of confidence and inlabve and a tendency to give away soft tnes often rather spoilt sometenaClaus displays. The fact that the boys remained diSCiplined and enjoyed themselves is very Important In a season with such poor results and I feel sure that none of the players have become discouraged or Wish to stop playing the game.

We lost our first four games (all of them narrowly) and self-confidence was gained after our 12-0 WIn over Paarl Gym. This really set the tone for the following games and we won 5 of the final 6 games of the season. A memorable game was our first encounter with SACS. which we won by 46 points to nil. Peter Solomon scored no fewer than four tnes. A feature of the team's play was heir willingness to tackle. The backs and loose-forwards in particular were not shy to tackle low.

The under 15 D's had an enjoyable yet difficult season. often suffenng the consequences of injuries and illnesses of A. Band C team players. During the second half of the season only two matches were played due to rain and a lack of players. The side often seemed out of heir depth in the first ten to fifteen mInutes of a ma ch. With the result that they were usually too far behind to make an effective comeback. For example. against Fairbairn C. they were 24-0 down at half-time and eventually only lost 28-4.

JW U13A RUGBY We started with 23 players. so we had to include U 14 players in our squad. The team played with great determination. but players were too often individualistic. The backs tended to hold on to the ball a bit too long. while the forwards sometimes played too loose. On occasion. the forwards formed an effective unit. Here the front row of Andrew Hibbling. Angus Willie and Patrick Gildenhuys deserve special mention. In the backs. Jason Parrott impressed most. Often it was he. he smallest on the field. who brought down the largest and fastest of opponents. Memorable matches were those against Bishops. where a 2-point defeat was turned into victory in the return match. The final game against SACS was also a cliffhanger. Unfortunately. one of the key forwards. Kurt Wohlenburg. broke his shoulder in this match. This was the first serious injury in this age group in at least five yea rs. Lastly. many thanks to the parents and other supporters for making the Saturday morning stroll down the touchline something to look forward to. Thanks also go to Doug Hopwood for refereeing so many of our home games.

We then lost the next three games. namely those against Bishops. Rondebosch and the Bishops U13A side. We drew the last match of the second term against SACS (4-4).

The team had a successful season. Nine fixtures were played. of which 6 were won and 310st_ We started the season with a win against Fish Hoek and then went on to beatSACS and Paarl Boys'. Only Rondebosch gotthe better of us on both outings and the other defeat was to Bishops. Our best win was 36-0 against Fish Hoek. Mr Morris was an enthusiastic and encouraging coach who always made us feel good about our efforts. It is not easy to single out individual players. However. Van Zyl was always safe at fullback. Nielsen hooked with determination and Warburton and Hovelmann played courageously in the forwards.

This term was plagued by two main setbacks this season. The first was the fact that there were not enough under 13 players to provide a full team. which necessitated the inclusion of under 14 members. The second problem was that 5 of the 13 fixtures were cancelled for various reasons. The highlight of the season was the single victory obtained against SACS. The results were as follows: vs Fish Hoek - 4-24 vs Bishops - 0-31

W B H S WATER POLO TOUR TO THE

SWIMMING

TRANSVAAL 1986

Our swimming team of 1986 has not fulfilled the expectations of sWimming at W B H S. The major reason is the lack of pool space. since the record number of waterpolo teams have left us with no time for team training. Hopefully. in the near future. we will be able to organise another venue for such training. The points position at the end of the Stevens Shield Gala were as follows: SACS 154; Rondebosch 139: Bishops 99. This year we combined with W G H S to sWim against Pinelands and Westerford at a tnangular gala which Wynberg won. After the first leg of the A-League swimming gala. we were placed third. Three of our boys. Anthony Pearse. Graham Manson-Smlth and Seddon Keyter. swam exceptionally well at the W P Senior Schools Championships and were selected for the Senior WPSwimming Team. The Inter-House Gala was a great success and was enjoyed by all. Record swims by Keyter. Pearse and Manson-Smith were noteworthy achievements. I wish to thank Colin Hammond for being a reliable captain. and all parents for their support.

THE members of the 1986 tounng squad had a very successful and enjoyable tour of the Transvaal during the September vacation. The team consisted of C Hammond. A Pearce. C Smith. A Kropp. A Smart.

THE Tennis Club again has a most successful and enjoyable season. A Std 6 team was again entered in the two-year-old Std 6 league and an extra team was entered in the senior leagues to cater for the growing interest The first team made great strides in establishing itself as one of the best teams in the country. They ended 2nd in the highly competitive super league behind 0 F Malan. The 2nd team ended 5th in the 1st league - a league where only three of the twelve teams involved were not 1st teams. Only a few points separated the top 5 teams in this league. and games between them were very closely contested. The other teams also excelled:

South African Universities and South African B. has already made a most valuable contribution to the sport and is now master-in-charge and first team coach. The first team mothers. under Mrs P Kropp. have done excellent work in raising tour funds. Mr N Davies must be thanked for his enormous contribution to our fundraising venture at the 3 Arts. lan Melliar has been present at every firstteam practice and match and has proved invaluable to the success of the team. Mr Payne has once again kept our pool spotless and Greg Prior manned the table very efficiently. Eight Under 15 Teams and 6 Under 19 Teams were entered in the league. Waterpolo is still growing and soon another pool will become a necessity.

in Std 8. I expect that some will end up playing good waterpolo for the first team. I wish them well for the future.

DdlM 3RD AND 4TH WATERPOLO OVERALL. the season went well. but there is one aspect that deserves special mention. Waterpolo is very popular at the moment and pressure on the pool is great. This allows for two 3/4 hour practices per week which is not very long and it is therefore very important that players should at least be on time for these practices. The 3rds and 4ths seldom started practices with a full squad and this set the tone for the rest of the practice. Notwithstanding this criticism. there are those dedicated and enthusiastic players who could form the nucleus of a much improved side next season.

The first team has played attractive waterpolo this year. Colin Hammond. Craig Smith. Anthony Pearse and Kenny McTavish have all excelled and must be among the best 15 players in the Western Province. Wynberg hosted a tournament in which 12 schools took part. SACS eventually won the final. beating Wynberg 3-1 . A festival team was chosen and Craig Smith. Colin Hammond and Anthony Pearse represented Wynberg.

5TH AND 6TH WATERPOLO B Goodwin:

THE 5th and 6th waterpolo sides had a good 1985-86 season. It was rewarding to see quite a large number of players moving up to the fourth and third sides as their skills and fitness improved. A number of matrics played waterpolo for the first time this season and found It a rewarding and enjoyable experience. especially as they became fitter. The results for the season are as follows:

AB 2ND TEAM WATERPOLO The second waterpolo team had an enjoyable 1985/86 season. They were a young side and came up against reasonably strong opposition. They did not win many of their matches. but the spirit in which they played is encouraging for the future. Of the 10 games played they won 3. drew 1 and lost 6. As a number of the members of this team were only

1985 was generally a very successful year for the under 15A waterpolo team. which played SACSin the final of the Wailer Cup. After playing well. they were eventually beaten by a supenor Side. After the Wailer Cup. all players who were not gOing to be under 15 In 1986. were moved to the under 19 section and consequently. we battled through the last half of 1985. Nevertheless thiS move has paid off and together with the assistanceand expert knowledge of Mr 0 Schooling. we have developed a fine team with lots of spint. Players who have been major assets in thiS Sideare Karl Thome. Chns Pearse. John Slauck and Thomas McEwan.

The above teams consisted mamly of U 14 boys m Standard 6 who had previously never touched a water polo ball. They were also coached by a man who had experience matching theirs. However. the mam objective was most definitely achieved - education through fun. The boys can now tread water without bobbmg, can catch and pass without uSing two hands and have gained much confidence. I am looking forward to he start of the new season In the 4th term, when we are sure to be more organised. For two weeks about 35 boys will be m the water at once - an indication of the enthusiastic response.
