EDITORIAL Both home and school face a daunting challenge in this latter half of the Twentieth Century in that there is growing evidence that they are losing their place as regulators of child development. Neil Postman. in his acclaimed book. The Disappearance of Childhood. describes how the electronic media have wrested control of information from the home and the school and now provide the child with a never-ending stream of information which calls upon their emotions. not their reason. and asks them to feel rather than think. Television. says Postman. presents information in a form that is "undifferentiated in its accessibility. and this meansthat television does not needto make a dis-

tinction between the categories 'child' and ·adult"'. Unlike the traditional education of the home and the school. where what is revealed to the child is regulated by what parent or teacher sees as appropriate to the young person's level of emotional and intellectual maturity. television is an open-admission technology. Everything is for everybody. This. states Postman. eliminates the exclusivity of knowledge and. therefore. eliminates one of the principal differences between childhood and adulthood. What price are we to pay for opennessand candour? It is clear. says Postman. that "if we turn over to children a vast store of powerful adult material. childhood

cannot survive". There is already every indication that the adults and children of our time are becoming indistinguishable. This is clearly seen in the merging of the taste and style of children and adults in such matters as language usage. dress. music and choice of entertainment. Crime. drug abuse and excessive drinking - at one time clearly associated with the wayward adult are now on the increase among children. Even children's games have become an adult preoccupation. The freedom, informality and jay of spontaneous play are steadily being replaced by the emotional style of big league sport. The electronic media. warns Postman. "pose a serious challenge both to the authority of the adult and the curiosity of the child". If the child can no longer experience entry into the adult world through the process of questioning and discovery. then curiosity and wonderment will be lost. The electronic media merge the child and adult worlds in an instant and curiosity is replaced by cynicism or even worse. arrogance. We are left. declares Postman, with "children who rely not on authoritative adults, but on news from nowhere. We are left with children who are given answers to questions which they never asked. We are left. in short. without children."

FROM THE HEADMASTER If there is anything that will make me remember 1987 it will be the demands that have been made on the school as far as financial policy is concerned. The Department started the year with a major austerity drive: taking away their entire maintenance grant. reducing provisions made to the school (paper, stationery, cleaning equipment) by 25% and reducing the textbook issue by 25%. In addition. we were given strict instructions to reduce our lights. water and telephone accounts. These were management tasks and were addressed. However. the second shock was to come when the Works Department began to refuse to maintain buildings (sports pavilion) that were not considered essential to the school. The School Committee was faced with the problem of lowering the present standards at the school or looking for alternative sources of revenue. A momentous decision was taken in that it was decided thatstandards were not to be lowered and that we were going to have to go to parents for the finance. It is quite apparent now that if parents would like their sons to attend a school such as Wynberg. they are going to have to pay. Free education is something of the past Having decided to maintain our facilities, we now needed to address two major problems: improving the drainage of the lower field and maintaining Silverhurst. To find out exactly what the Department's attitude would be. an interview was arranged with the Director of Education. At this meeting. the school was represented by Mr Dick Friedlander. Chairman of the School Committee (also Chairman ofthe School Board) and me. As far as the lower field was concerned. it became quite clear that the Education Department would provide no money at all towards the project. but would put at our disposal the expertise of the Works Department. This offer has been utilised and. by the end of the year, the problem should be solved but at considerable cost to the school. The whole question of Silverhurst. on the other hand, is to be investigated with the view to turning it into an annex of our school hostel, Littlewood House. Here the cost would be borne by the Department as it would in future provide an income from hostel fees. To help with our financial management. school contributions were increased in July and it was most heartening to see how parents responded to our new responsibilities. The unfortunate truth, however, is that the demands on our financial resources are not going to lessen. but become greater. The challenges of maintaining standards at Wynberg are no longer only academic. physical and cultural. but also financial.

What gives additional cause for concern is the way in which the electronic media move literacy to the periphery of culture and take its place in the centre. Postman points out that this means that those characteristics which are associated with a fully literate culture ("the capacity for self-restraint. a tolerance for delayed gratification, a sophisticated ability to think conceptuallyand sequentially. a preoccupation with both historical continuity and the future, a high valuation of reason and hierarchical order") are replaced by a new diminished definition of adulthood: the adult whose emotional and intellectual capacities are not fully developed. The only two institutions which can resist the decline of childhood are the home and the school- and to offer any such resistance is to go against many social trends. Nevertheless, parents and teachers must strive to inculcate such values as responsibility and deference to adults, the discipline of modesty and delayed gratification and the importance of becoming literate and wellread. Postman suggests that parents need to control the electronic media's access to their children in two ways: firstly, by limiting the amount of exposure their children have to the media and secondly, by carefully monitoring what their children are exposed to. There is also a need for parents and teachers to teach and encourage the young person to develop a critical awareness of the themes and values of the media's content. "It is not conceivable," concludes Postman, "that our culture will forget that it needs children. But it is halfway toward forgetting that children need childhood. Those who insist on remembering shall perform a noble service."

STAFF NOTES We welcomed Mr Chris Luman and Mr David Russell to our staff at the beginning of this year while Mr Chris Murcott arrived at the beginning of the third term. All

New staff: Mr Murcott. Mr Luman. Mrs Sandyford and Mr Russell

Mr Paul Blackbeard left both Wynberg and South Africa's shores at the end of 1986. He is. at present. teaching in New Zealand and there is a possibility that he Will not be returning to this country. He has. of course. resigned from his post at Wynberg and so we thank him for hiS four years of service to our school where he made a fine contribution both in the classroom and on the sports field. We also take thiS opportunity of wishing Mr Tony Blackbeard. (one time member of staff) and hiS family "Bon Voyage" and much happiness as they also emigrate to ew Zealand at the end of this year. We were also sorry to say farewell to Mr Andrew Todd at the end of the first term. He had been at Wynberg since 1981 and dUring that time. he was appointed to a Head of Department post. He was a popular member of staff who carned out hiS administrative duties most effiCiently and who Involved himself in many spheres of school life. He was also personally responsible for he establishment of a rowing club at Wynberg. We wish him every success as he ventures into the property world and we thank him for all that he has contributed tO Wynberg. We bade farewell to Miss Nancy Jackson at the end of the second term. She had been at Wynberg In a temporary capacity since the second term of 1986 and In that relatively short time. had contributed much to the school. She leaves with our best wishes ard our thanks for her contribution to Wynberg. Our Cricket Professional. Mr Martin Stovold. returned permanently to England at the end of the first term. A tribute to him ISto be found In the Introduction to the Cricket reports in the magazine. It only remains for me to add that his cheerful and friendly presence in he staffroom will be greatly missed.

the above gentlemen have settled in quickly and are making a much-valued contribution to the school. Unfortunately. Mr Luman's appointment was a temporary one and he will be taking up a post at another school next year. We are indeed sorry to lose such a conscientious and versatile member of staff and we Wish him well in his new teaching post. Messrs Tom O'Reilly and Peter Decker returned to the classroom at the beginning of this year after a year's study leave at the University of Cape Town In 1986. Both of them had an enjoyable and stimulating year of study. Mr George Hili is away on study leave at Stellen bosch University this year. He has visited us on a number of occasions and he is looking both relaxed and happy. a sure indication that he is enjoying university life again.

Our new Cricket Professional. Mr Phillip Cooper. joined us at the end of the 3rd term. We welcome him to South Africa and we hope that his stay with us will be both enjoyable and rewarding. We are grateful to Mrs Judy Sole for helping us out for the first few weeks of the second term. Her place was taken by Mrs Karin Sandyford who. we are pleased to note. has been appointed in a permanent capacity from the beginning of 1988. We trust that her time with us will be both happy and fulfilling. Mr Norman Edwards underwent an eye operation earlier this year. We are pleased to note that the operation was a success. However. at the time of going to press. Mr Edwards had returned to hospital for an operation of a different nature. We all wish him a complete and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back with us again. We welcomed Mrs Wilhelmina Osier to our cleaning staff in March of this year. Her cheerful and efficient presence in the staffroom is much appreciated. Finally. our sincere congratulations are due to -

THE LAPlES' ASSOCIATION The Ladies' Association was formed in 1985 to involve more mothers in school activities. such as catering for school functions and sports events. running the second-hand clothing exchange and the daily tuckshop duties. All the ladies involved thus far in the Association have found it a most enjoyable and rewarding task. This year's events have entailed the serving of tea and coffee at evening functions such as choir and musical evenings. catering for the boys and staff on InterHouse and Sports and Swimming Gala days and also catering for the very successful Arts Festival. which was held for the first time this year. The SATA Centenary Conference was held at the Wynberg schools this year and our services were greatly appreciated by all who attended.

emanated from the man. We are all the poorer for his passing. but enriched by his living which was an example to us all. I am certain that all who knew him or knew of him. are proud that he was a pupil at Wynberg. Stan was a man of integrity and. in every sense of the word. a gentleman. Our deepest sympathy goes to his loving wife Vema. to his daughter Brenda. to his son Peter and to Tim and Jacqueline.

N.B. V.H.

OBITUARY: MR STANLEY JONES Stanley Howard Jones passed away suddenlyon Sunday 23 November 1986. and to his familyand his friends. it was as if a bright light had suddenly been extinguished. I was proud to have known Stan and to have counted him as one of the best friends a man could have. All ofthose who attended his Thanksgiving Memorial Service must have been deeply moved by the Service itself and by the tributes paid to this really great and good man. His was a life of service - service to his family. to his Church. to the Rotary Club. to his Bowls Club. to his business associates and clients. to numerous organisations and to our schools. Stan's association with Wynberg extends for well over 50 years. starting with his being a pupil in thejunior standards and then matriculating in 1936. He joined the Old Boys' Union. served on the Committee and was then elected to the Wynberg Boys' School Committee. He served as Secretary for a number of years and. in fact it was he who telephoned me in November 1964 to say that I had been appointed as Principal of the High School. Both Stan and Vema made my wife and me feel at home at Wynberg right from the start. and our friendship increased and ripened over the years. From 1975 to 1981 he was Chairman of the School Committee and was a tower of strength throughout Under his guidance. the new High School was planned and constructed. Stan was interested in all facets of school life and was instrumental in starting the Brass Band - now the Wind Ensemble. His favourite item was The Floral Dance. which was performed on a number of occasions. especially for him. Stan had a tremendous z.est for life and many interests. including his hobbies. garden. dogs and fishing. He excelled at bowls. representing his Club and also Westem Province with distinction. As a Rotarian he gave of himself to the full and it was in this service that he was taken from us so suddenly. He was involved in too many activities and charitable organisations to mention individually. Stanley was a man who was always full of the joys oflife - always bubbling over with humour and good fellowship and never without an amusing story to tell. considerate of all. living life to the full and giving of himself and of his time selflessly. We will miss that hearty laugh and the warmth which

Mr Pat Joseph

OBITUARY: MR PAT JOSEPH In January 1981. Pat Joseph began teaching mathematics at Wynberg where his influence was strongly felt both in the classroom and in the field of extra-murals. Pat loved teaching and his philosophical approach towards his subject rubbed off on both rustic and erudite alike as he conveyed the concepts ofhis discipline in his inimitable way.

His keenness at coaching squash was infectious as was his adroitness as a player himself - it was many the opponent that was left bewildered as Pat found the nick when least expected. He loved the sea too. and in the Noordhoek waters he could be seen waiting for the dream wave. and then. when it was thundering towards the shore. riding it home.

OBITUARY: EDWARD BOLAND It was with great shock and sadness that we read in the newspapers of the accident that caused the death of Edward Boland. Edward was a pupil in Std VI and during the summer months he took part in athletics. while during winter he was a very good wing for the U14C rugby team. He caught attention of the Under 14B coach who invited him tojoin the more senior group. Both Edward's athletic ability and his engaging personality ensure that he will not be forgotten at Wynberg. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his parents, his brother and his sister.

In 1983. Pat left Wynberg and, with his lovely wife. Stef. traversed Europe and Australia on a one-year backpacking holiday. during which he worked periodically when the funds were low, while all the time absorbing life to the full. In 1984. Pat returned to the Univesity of Cape Town to read for a C.A. - a guantlet picked up only by the daring. It was during his second year that Pat sadly departed this life. leaving those who had known him richer for the experience of his acquaintance. Requiescat in pace.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS liness. thoroughness and accuracy. can only stand one in good stead later on. It is therefore interesting to note some of the reasons given by the boys for and against taking the subject: "I -

dropped Accounting becauseI " preferred some other subject found it boring or repetitive was not able to cope did not like it feel it will not be needed in my chosen career

"I -

am continuing with Accounting becauseI " find it logical enjoy it and find work satisfaction intend entering the world of commerce feel a knowledge of the subject is essential believethe financial rewards are considerable in the Accounting field - was encouraged by parents (who are Accountants or Bookkeepers) - do well and obtain good marks These comments are interesting and reflect some of the pupils' attitudes towards the subject. We are living in a commercial world where the computer is daily making remarkable advances in the Accounting field. but we must stress that a basicknowledge of the principles of Accounting is as essential as ever. We work to prepare the pupil for further studies or direct entry into commerce. Whichever course he may choose. he will find himself well prepared as the syllabus content is well balancedbetween introductory work for University and basic practical knowledge required for employment in some other Accounting field. The syllabus in eachstandard from 6 to 10 is a wellrounded unit. and at eachyear end finishes at a significant stage. This means that should a boy choose to drop the subject at any time. he is. nonetheless. in possession of a complete body of knowledge up to that particular stage and no matter what he may go on to do. the Accounting learned will be of value. With regard to our Matric pupils this year. we will once again be having our "Revision Day"just prior to the examination and would urge parents to encourage their sons to attend as it enables them to sit the examination freshly inspired and. hopefully. with any problems which may have arisen during personal revision. cleared up.

Dikwels is tweede taal-onderrig 'n moeilike en ondankbare taak in 'n skool. 'n Mens probeer so hard: jy sien pakke en pakke opstelle en ander werk na en laat die leerlinge verbeteringe doen (en soms verbeteringe van verbeteringe), net om volgende keer maar weer dieselfde fout in dIeselfde boek te sienl Geen wonder dat 'n onderwyser soms die handdoek ingooi en laat spat nie. En tog is die beloning ook daar as 'n kind eendag skielik verstaan en hy kry sy woordorde reg en hy begin geïnteresseerd raak na sy aanvanklike sukses en jy besef: Ek het dit reggekry.

The revised system of subject choices available to the Standard Sevens last year has caused the Biology Department to become inundated this year. This has put a strain on the resources of the department and some form of screening of aspirant biologists must be employed next year to prevent a recurrence. The implementation of the new syllabus is still in the experimental stages in all standards, It was found, for example, in the Ecology section in Standard Eight that the ecosystem used in the text book - a Transvaal grassland - was not satisfactory and so. to make this section relevant to Cape Town pupils, a new text and worksheets on the ecology of a rocky sea shore were prepared. On completion of the theory an all-day excursion to Dalebrook was undertaken. The Standard Nine course was helped along this year by a series of talks on Sex Education by two representatives from the Woodrow Institute and afterwards all that remained to be done in this section was the hormonal control of the menstrual cycle. Once again this year, Open Night was used to d the dissection work necessary for the study of the respiratory systems of a mammal and a dogfish. This year's Standard Tens are the first to tackle the new one-year course leading up to the finals. In the past the matric exam was based on two years' work. Last year there were two A's in the Biology and the average was 59%- well above the Provincial Average. The fifty-three minute period is a welcome innovation for this department since it allows for a variety of activities. such as lecturing, slide shows, films and practicals to complement work done by the pupils.

The school was awarded Rl 150 for submitting the most outstanding portfolio of poster designs. The prize money was used to purchase new history of art books. to frame twenty art pupils' paintings and drawings and to finance the Standard Nine class's mural painting in the Music Department's corridor. Simon Tremeer in Standard Six was the only high school pupil to win a prize for his Arbor Day Poster Design Competition entry. Exhibitions of pupils' art are being dis~layed at various venues in the school building and at the combined exhibitions with WGHS and SACS. , The Standard Ten art class founded "Der Grunenstrepen".

By popular opinion, it ceased to exist immediately after its founding. making it the world's

Dissectors at work

We said farewell to Miss Nancy Jackson at the end of the second term when she left teaching to take up a position in the private sector. We thank her for her valued contributions to the department and wish her well for the future. The English Department met at regular intervals during the course of this year and these meetings were characterised by healthy discussion and exchange of opinion. Of particular note were the three meetings led by different teachers. Mr Noot led a useful discussion based on his experience as a sub-examiner for the Matric Composition Paper while Mr Morris did the same for the Matric Language Paper. Mr Murcott shared his own experiences and led an interesting discussion concerning the use of film and the video camera in the English Class. We also made a tentative start with team teaching this year - an area which I am hoping to develop more fully in 1988 if the time-table can accommodate our needs. The department was instrumental in inviting Dr Hugh Houghton-Hawksley to address a full staff meeting on 28 April. Dr Houghton-Hawksley spoke on the SURE Reading Programme and he was well received by all present. Mr Algie, our Headmaster. has that the introductJon of such a reading programme at Wynberg will be considered. The members of the English Department are very much in favour of its introduction because we believe that any effort to improve language competence and comprehension will be of benefit to pupils in all of their school subjects. In concluding, I wish to express my gratitude to the teachers in the English Department for all they have accomplished during 1987. Your hard work. co-operation and enthusiastic optimism certainly made my task so much easier. P.E.D.

We were pleased to welcome two new teachers into our department this year. Mr Chris Luman arrived at the beginning of 1987 and in the course of this year he has proved to be a most capable. hard-working and conscientious teacher. Unfortunately we will be losing him at the end of this year and so we thank him for his enthusiastic contribution to the department during this past year. He will be greatly missed. Mr Chris Murcottjoined our English staff midway through the year and in the relatively short time that he has been with us. he has impressed us as a most sincere and capable teacher with an imaginative approach to his lessons and a valuable expertise in the audio-visual field. I am sure that he will be contributing much to our department in the days ahead. Mr George Hill is on study leave this year and attending Stellenbosch University where he is reading for a Master's Degree in Linguistics. We wish him every success and look forward to welcoming him back in 1988.

has been made of films. slides. records. documents. cartoons and discussions. With the help of Mrs Hawkins. a large collection of audio-visual aids have been built up for this very purpose. We hope that these aids will make History more popular as a subject and improve our results. with the widening of the pupils' knowledge outside the syllabus. Nineteen Std 1O's and 9's took part in the first History Olympiad and our congratulations go to Derek Marshall for finishing in the first ten in South Africa. The end of the year brings us to the final examinations. The very best of good fortune to all. particularly to the matrics. May your hard work reap its reward.

LATIN DEPARTMENT Subject Head: KC Richardson. BA. M Ed. Teacher:

The Matric results at the end of 1986were most pleasing and we trust that the present matrics keep up the standard. Themes and prQject work are always a highlight in Latin with projects counting 25% of the final matric mark. In Std's 6 - 8. projects are done on a wide variety of topics and these were all displayed on Open Night. The Std Ts tried their hands at building Roman catapults. one of which shot its "ammunition" all of thirty metres! The Std S's produced slide/tape sequences of aspects of Roman history. They put a great deal of work into these projects and they were of high standard. Part of the fun of Latin is taking part in inter-schools functions. In the 3rd term the junior standards took part in the "Latin Olympics" held at Springfield. Foot races. chariot races. cooking competitions. debates. music and quizzes all went to make up an entertaining afternoon. Wynberg won the foot race. our chariot collapsed in the chariot race. our musicians have been asked to repeat their performance later in the year and our miming group came second as did our quiz team. However. the offerings of our cooks (from 7A) did not quite match the expertise of the girls' schools. In all. it was an enjoyable experience. In the 4th term. the senior standards will be taking part in an inter-schools quiz at St Cyprians.

in greatly different contexts. The only way to prepare for this is to tackle a large number of graded problems and not give up immediately and lose the battle at the start. The futility of giving up trying. yet not giving up Mathematics is patent It is now possible. however. to drop the subject and take History in its place: or if already dOing History. to change History Classesand do Geography in place of Mathematics. It IShighly unwise to stay with it right through to Std 10 belieVing that miracles never cease.and then finding oneself trapped at the end of one's school career hating oneself for not baling out earlier. November 1987 seesour first matric pupils writing under the new syllabus.We wish them well in the belief that they may set new records for WBHS Mathematics results. All we ask is that they do not expect any giveaways: Mathematics remains for all of us a worthy challenge.

The Mathematics Department this year hashad to cope With the loss of both Mr Paul Blackbeard (from the beginning of the year) and Mr Todd (from the end of the first term) but the acquisition of Mr 0 Russelland Mrs K Sandyford has gone a long way to compensate for their loss. We welcome Mr Russelland Mrs Sandyford to the department and trust they Will continue to make a valuable contribution to the mathematical education of their pupils. We also wish Mr Moser well on his return to Mathematics teaching and sincerely hope his services will be available more frequently in the future. Our 1986 Senior Certificate results were better than usual with more A's on Higher Grade and fewer failures on Standard Grade. Warren Butler.

The tOpiCof Mathematics failures brings one to the nature of a subject that is highly respected.yet almost universally feared. The unfortunate result of thiS situation ISthat almost everyone Insists on taking the subject. yet many believe they will not cope. Teacherstherefore havenot only to be teachers. but be confidence tricksters as well. working overtime to break down pupils' negative expectations and build up their self-confidence and willingness to work genuinely hard at the subject. How then is one to cope with Mathematics? First is Simply to memorise formulae. proofs and rules. The real problem is the popular belief that Mathematics is all bnillance and no learning. Yet there IS a great deal that can be learnt off parrot-fashion. certainly enough to pass or nearly pass.Such is pupil despair and negative feelngs. however. that right across the province. most SG pupils fail even to learn their theorems and consequently fail the S.C.exam in droves. The second aspect of Mathematics that creates problems. ISthat it is the only subject where the bulk of the marks involve applying what has been memorised

METALWORK DEPARTMENT Subject Head:J GLouw. H.P.T.D.. H.P.T.C.(MT). N.T.C. This year has been marked by the keen Interest and enthusiasm displayed by the new metalworkers. The Standard Six boys worked so well that all work set was finished well before time theyactually displayed keen disappointment at having to give up a lesson. ThiS enthusiasm and capacity for diligent application to work. seems. unfortunately. to diminish as the boys grow older and other interests appear.

Mr louw. a centre of metallic attraction on Open Night Standard Nine and Ten pupils have attempted to produce a wide variety of models. The work that attracts the most natural attention is that done in the Foundry section. The attraction of melting metals and pouring the glowing liquid into carefully-prepared sand moulds must fulfil the pnmordial need of young men to play with fire. This was indeed the demonstration the boys elected to show off to appreciative. smoke-blinded. choking parents on Open Night The present economic climate has had its influence on the subject In that materials have become very expensive and cuts in monetary allocations to procure metal for our use have become the norm. I wish to thank those parents who have supported their sons in pursuing the creative discipline. Metalwork. and so enabled these boys to do more than the basic exercises.

become part of their vocabulary. The standard 9 boys (piano and violin) learn to differentiate between the Classical and Romantic harmonies and styles. Slowly they begin to comprehend the difference in performing Mozart or Schumann. The Matrics (flute and trombone) this year write on the new syllabus. They study the trends in twentieth century music: trends that are a mixture of the old and new. Contemporary music they have learnt. contains diverse and contradictory elements: French Impressionism and German Romanticism; neo-Classicism and electronic music: modality and tonality. Lessons contained many heated arguments regarding the relevance of Stockhausen's "chance" music and defining concepts such as "music". "sound" and "noise". Wynberg had two capab visits this year. Menotti·s short opera. 'The Telephone". was performed to the whole school. The Music Society enjoyed the Guitar Duo concert presented by Jethrow BOtow and Nick carter. Later in the year. twenty boys visited the city Hall for a symphony concert During the Arts Festival in April. the spotlight was on the musicians who performed solos during the Friday evening cabaret. At the Piano Eisteddfod in May. G. Newmark and C. Summersgill played in the Baroque Section. Both played extremely well and deserved their meritawards. At the Annual Music Evening in June. the musicians provided the audience with an hour's enter-

MUSIC DEPARTMENT: Subject Head: B. Botha. B. Mus. Staff: Miss B. Fassler. B. Mus. (ed). H.D.E. Wynberg musicians are usually all-rounders - good sportsmen with high academic standards and very involved in the many musical activities at the school. Often there are schedule clashes where a boy has to decide which event takes precedence at a given moment: a cadet band march. a wind ensemble rehearsal. a choir practice. a piano run-through or a Music Society presentation. Somehow. everything seems to fall into place on the concert evening and. to quote the boys. "At Wynberg we rise to the occasion .... This year there were 9 boys taking music as an academic subject. In Standards 6 and 7 (bassoon and 2 piano) the boys are given a general introduction to the historical eras of music and much time is spent laying a solid theoretical foundation. The Standard 8's (bassoon and recorder) study Baroque music throughout the year. moving from Monteverdi through to Bach. Concepts like motet. fugue and concerto grosso soon

tainment. On Open Night. the music rooms were buzzing with activity and five solos were performed in the Clegg Hall. All Standard 6 and 7 boys have one Class Music period a week. During the year, they are involved in various aspects of music. This year, the activities ranged from singing "Music from the Shows", rehearsing hymns for assembly, watching the "Annie" film, memorizing excerpts from famous works like Beethoven's Fifth and Mozart's FQrtieth and learning how to listen to and analyse a new work before evaluating it. On the whole, the year has been as busy as ever. Thanks to Mr Algie for all his encouragement and support. Thank you, most of all. to the Wynberg musicians who, essentially, constitute the Music Department.

Senior Science: The 1986 results were well up to our high standard with a Matric Higher Grade average of 61.7%, including 6 A's, (A Coulthard, F Hoare, W Butler, C Collins, A Fraser and J de Kock, 8 B's. 5 C's, 8 D's and 5 E's. There were 2 S.G. E's and 2 H.G. G's. The Standard Grade average at 55.3% was better than usual with 1 A (M Ansley), 6 B's, 7 C's. 19 D's, 14 E's, 4 F's and no failures. The Std 9 H.G. produced 1 A and nine marks below 160 with no S.G. failures while the S.G. Std 9 results had 6 failutes with 11 pupils doing Geography instead of Science. Std 8 produced 17 S.G. passes after writing H.G. and 1 S.G. failure with 14 pupils doing Geography in place of Science. This year's Matrics will be the first to be examined on the new syllabus and we expect them to be well prepared. The syllabus was completed by the end of the third term leaving time for revision and consolidation. The September results were encouraging. There were few top marks and only 1 Higher Grade and 2 Standard Grade candidates who failed outright. We look forward to good final results. The Science Olympiad went well this year with nearly 40 entrants. David Zink was placed 46th in South Africa with 82% and Jeremy Joubert, Simon Hoare and Brandon Spolander were placed in the top 200 in South Africa with over 70%. R Lupini, M Leach, G Treadaway.

The department has had an enjoyable year and has benefitted from the lengthened teaching period. We also saw the introduction of the first Physical Education Enrichment Programme. This proved to be a great success. Some of the topics dealt with included: psychological aspects of sport; selecting life-time sports: utilisation of recreational time and various physiological topics, such as the effect of endurancetype exercises on the Cardia-vascular system. Parent Keep-Fit Classes continued to function under the guidance of Doug Schooling and they showed the school volleyball team a thing or two in challenging them to a keenly contested match on Open Night. It is tremendous to see the number of boys participating in sport and el}joying it. Apart from encouraging healthy attitudes towards sport. we in the department regard our subject as being of paramount importance in equipping our pupils with knowledge and skills to enhance their participation in life-time sports.

50%. The Science Expo at UCT produced four prize-winning entries all coming second in their category: Robert Robson in Junior Biology. Wayne Dickson and John Ross-Munro equal in Junior Sciences and Simon Rogers together with Justin Heathcote-Marks in Senior Science. 12 other pupils were involved: C Thomas, 0 Mallinson, A Bishop. S Medder, D Parolis, A Bradley, D Winton. J McCormick. T Flint, S Shuman, J Merris and S Hoare. The Std 8 and 9 Projects this year were intended to encourage research and some pupils did very good work under Mr Radloffs guidance. A library service was started this year to bring books from the Education Library for staff use - unfortunately all staff members suffer from a shortage of available time to read the books. A programme of class visitation was organised by Mr Connellan and the resulting discussions were most constructive. Pupils in the Science Department are expected to set their own goals and to work to achieve those goals. Extra work is set for those not reaching their target and a good spirit of striving for good results is found in many classes. Experimental work has developed with the new syllabus and Mr Michael Petersen. the lab. assistant. is an

which were available for viewing on Open Night and some of which were entered for the Science EXPO at ucr on the same evening. In Std 6. the boys were expected to produce a poster on any scientific topic. and to build a vivarium and watch the life cycle of some animal (such as ants. worms. hamsters or snakes). The Std 7's had to build a device which demonstrated some scientific principle. and a model of any organ of the human body. We believe that the practical aspect of Science and Biology is extremely important and many sections of the syllabus are taught around laboratory experiments in a "hands-on" approach. The practical work is augmented by an ever-growing library of videos and films which clarify much of the work covered in class. I wish to thank all my colleagues for their hard work and co-operation dunng the year.

B.G. Junior Science: The system which was tried last year (one teacher teaching both Science and Biology components of the course) was continued with much success this year. In order to maintain stability and a certain amount of continuity. techers who taught a particular Std 6 class last year. wherever possible. took that same class in Std 7 this year. Once again. we asked every boy in Std 6 and 7 to produce both a Science and a Biology project. many of

own. apply suitable methods of construction. and develop his aesthetic awareness. In the Standard Eight practical class. the pupils are restricted to basic cabinet construction with a drawer and door. The Standard Nine syllabus consists of lathe work. Here the pupils must design and make objects such as lamps or bowls. During the Standard Ten year. the pupils make a more advanced model. This usually takes a great deal of time. There is also a small group of pupils from the Woodwork Department who help me and Mr Decker with repairs around the school. Five staffroom chairs have been repaired. yale locks have been put into a number of doors and the academic boards have been constructed. I would like to thank these pupils for all their valued service to the school. P. K.

In the woodwork class the pupils have the opportUnity to plan and construct articles. thereby enabling them to experience the satisfaction of creativity. It is thus important that the pupil spends a good deal of time on design so that when it comes to the making of the model. there is a better chance of success. Woodwork in the school consists of Drawings. Theory and Practical. During the Drawing course we teach the pupils to read and interpret a drawing. to employ the correct drawing techniques and to solve problems. During the Standard Six woodwork course. my main aim is to enable the pupilS to acquire knowledge of tools and materials and to take care of and maintain tools and equipment The Standard Seven pupil must plan a project on his

firstly by the school and then the Department. With this in mind. it can be seen how important the counsellor's role becomes in a pupil's final three years at school. Much of what was intended to be discussed with the standard nine and ten pupils has had to be shelved to enable us to complete the necessary forms required by the Department for the above changes. However. now that the initial forms have been completed. we look forward to the future years: . As I see it the programme for the future IS to assISt the senior pupils in handling some of the following problem areas in his life: the making of wise subject and grade choices. knowing the requirements for a post-school study coure. choosing a future career. making the most of one's school years and obtaining a mat ric certificate of such a standard that he does not limit his options to a future career. The guidance in thejunior standards is handled very effectively by other well-qualified members of the staff. Their task is not an easy one as many pupils' attitudes are modelled in the classroom. It is very often in standard six or seven that the stage is set for some pupils as to their effectiveness in the senior standar~. During the latter half of the second term. two ladles from the Woodrow Advisory Centre held a course on Family Planning at our school. This course was long overdue and created much interest at the school. The course was very effective and. judging by the comments received. was a great success. A number of parents wrote into express their thanks for the course. We hope to continue with these lectures in 1988.

The new fifty-three minute period has been a mixed blessing for this department. In the past the thirtyminute period thrice in two weeks resulted in lack of contInuity. particularly when a film or video occupied the whole period. No time was left for discussion or follow-up and by the time the next period arrived for that class. the pupils had forgotten the film and the teacher had no real success with the discussion which should follow viewing. Now. the film can be followed up immediately with worksheets or discussion and can be treated as a unit. This is important for a subject which relies heavily on such teaching aids. If the teacher is unprepared. however. fifty-three minutes is a long time for him to occupya class meaningfully. The media centre has quite a formidable armoury of videos. slides and music for this subject and teachers. with a little imagination. can produce a fairly palatable lesson which should. above all. be relevant: The Bible. although thousands of years old. still addresses the problems and needs of modern youth simply because their spiritual problems and needs have never changed. The difficult part for the BE teacher is to match a given need or problem with a Bible teaching or story in such a way as to make it interesting. The teacher relies heavily on the response of the class to monitor his relevancy and is never more relieved than when the class warms to the topic and the discussion begins.

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY In past issues of the school magazine. I have remarked on our struggle to keep the library well stocked and this year parents have responded marvellously to our plight At the Book Display held during the Arts Festival. books to the value of R750.QO were donated to the library. Many thanks to the following people for their donations: Mrs McCormick. Mr Dickson. Mr Purchase. Mr Pronk. Mrs Morris. Mr McEwen. Mrs Busse. Mr Kruse. Mr Hoare. Mr Liddie. Mr Haupt Mr Lupini. Mr Yates. Mr Laurenson. Mr MacLeod. Mr Simpson. Mr Charlesworth. Mr Thomas. Mrs Tremeer. Mr Jewell. Mr Hochfelden. Mrs Swart. Mrs Nolan. Mr Drew. Mr Bradley. Mr Elliot Mrs Ryan. and Mrs Badiali. In addition. parents. old ooys and pupils have donated books during the year. namely. A Louw: K De Heer KJoots: M Venter. C Donald. Mr Townley Johnson (a regular contributor) and Mr Weckesser (who continues to donate the Archimedes magazine). Possibly the most important thing to have happened to the library in decades has been the arrival of Mrs Merle Dickson. whose son Wayne (Std 7) is also a library assistant Mrs Dickson has worked on a voluntary

For the first time since its development. this department was able to deal with standard nines and tens. This proved to be a great success as these standards need as much support as possible. The Education Department has taken a very strict line on subject andgrade changes during a pupil's standard eight to ten years. All changes must be handled

basis in the library on most Fridays since September last year. She controlled the Book Display at the Arts Festival and her interest in the library has led to an undoubted improvement in the services offered to the pupils and staff. This year sees the departure of the Head Librarian. David Charlesworth. who has done sterling work over the years. His presence will be missed. though he has an able replacement in Justin Simpson. The help of David and Justin and the other library assistants. namely Sean McCormick. Michael Home. Trevor Flint. Arthur Preston. Anthony Aspden. Allan Bradley. Wayne Dickson. Barry Knoll and Jan Laurenson. has been invaluable and much appreciated by boys and staff. The library continues to be well used for research and general reading. especially before school and break. Most pupils use the books in a responsible way but there are those that have a distinctly "cavalier" attitude to books and disregard their value to the other boys. Reading does offer the reader the chance to become "aware of the world around and within himself'. and a sensible approach to reading should be encouraged by parents as much as possible.

To facilitate this further. it was decided to convert the B21 classroom. which was near to the Library and media workroom. into an Audio-Visual viewing room. This room has been carpeted. together with the Workroom. and arranged in mini-theatre style with seating and a permanent projection screen. It houses the video and TV equipment. a 16 mm and a slide projector. Teachers bring classes to this room to see educational videos. slides or films. It has proved immensely useful and popular and booking for the room is at a premium. Not only is it used for teaching purposes. but also for screening sports-coaching material after school. or break-time viewing of videos made of a variety of school activities such as the choir. house plays. Arts Festival ete. It is very much in demand on Socities days and pupils mayalso ask to see a video there at breaktime if it is not being used for other purposes. The audio-visual room now joins our library. media workroom and computer room to form the Media Centre of the school. The media workroom is the audio-visual production room of the school. Here teachers and pupils are able to make sound recordings, slides, overhead projector transparencies and photocopy or roneo material. With the new Pentax 1000 K camera and copying stand at their disposal in the media workroom, some good slide/tape programmes have been produced by boys this year, particularly for Latin and History projects. Some of these were shown on Open Night.

THE MEDIA CENTRE Media Teacher: Mrs P. Hawkins. D.S.E. (Lib. Se.). P.T.H.C. We are nearing the end of our second year of operation and the Media Centre has expanded in size and effectiveness in that time. The new 53-minute period. introduced at the beginning of 1987. has made it possible to incorporate far more audio-visual material into lessons. as there is now sufficient time to use slides. videos or films as part of a lesson.

Usmg the camera in the media centre

During the year. 1500 slides were made or mounted. most of them from filmstrips which were converted into slides. A further 60 videos have been bought or recorded and O.H.P. transparencies mounted. New equipment acquired during the year includes the photographic copying equipment. 4 walltype projection screens.2 overhead projectors. and we are awaiting delivery of two cassette tape recorders. Apart from these items. which were suppliedby the C.E.D.. the school funded the purchase of a public address system for the hall as well as 4 horn-type speakers for useat outdoor sports events. With the arrival of Mr Murcott on our staff. and the video production expertise hebrings with him. we have now extended to a Vicicam society which will supersedethe old Filmsoc and will cover both production of video as well as the screening of good videos and films. Several members are fortunate enough to have portable video equipment at their disposal. A number of boys havebeen of particular assistance in the Media Centre. They are our TV camera crew: Dwane Bailey.Norman Cantreil. Gary Korek. Jean-Paul Baar. Erik Westvig. Stuart Walker. Justin Beckley.Sean McCormaek. Neil zauber and Craig Patton.

PEP COURSES This year. for the first time. about 70 schoolboys missed a few lessons and took part in so-called PEP courses of their choice. From all indications. this innovation is here to stay. PEPstands for the Pupil Enrichment Programme at Wynberg and corresponds to Extended Study Programmes and the like at other schools. PEP courses result from the conviction that education should prepare for life and notjust for examinations. implying that there should be scope for academic and other courses which are of immediate or long-term interest to boys other than the courses imposed from above. In 1987. the most popular PEP courses were Theory of Physical Education and Psychology. eachof which attracted about 30 boys. In the first. Mr Cross covered sport in relation to life. psychological aspects of sport. physiological aspectsof sport and the choosing of life-time sports. Mr de la Mare in the Psychology course covered the meaning of "normality". dealt with the "defence mechanisms" we all make use of in ordinary conversation and behaviour. and describedthe forms of"abnormality" such as neuroses and the milder psychoses. Mr Bromberger and Mr Richardson catered for smaller groups of about 6 boys. Mr Bromberger dealing with "Megatrends: a Look at the Future" basedon John Naisbitt's book and Mr Richardson leading discussion on "Africa : Possible solutions for its problems". In explanation. attendance at the 6 or 8 lessonsof a PEP course in a term. does involve missing some classes. but times are arranged so that only one lessonper subject per term is missed. It should also be said that while brighter pupils are strongly encouraged to participate. the PEP courses are open to all pupils subject only to a staff veto in extreme cases. Possible expansion of the PEP course system next year could cater for a Problem Solving group. a Fun in Mathematics group or whatever pupils feel there is a need for. Any suggestions are more than welcome. either from pupils who wish to benefit or parents who can contribute their knowledge.

YOUTH PREPAREDNESS Time has been allocated to all classes at least once every two weeks for a Youth Preparedness programme presented byeleven different staff members. A rotation system was used so that eachteacher could present his topic for a specific standard. to each class during the term. Topics included Leadership. Background to various authors. the art of paper sculpture. Relationships. SocialAwareness.Public holidays - their validity in S.A.. the threat of AIDS. the ideal Wynbergian. Media Centre orientation. Litter and pollution. Alcohol and drug problems. Artificial Respiration. Basic First Aid. Physical Fitness. The General Election and Time Management In addition. speakers were brought in from outside the school to address the boys on such topics as "Preparation for the Army". Bill Pricespoke on "How tocope with failure". At the end of last year our Focus Week utilised the themes of safety and caring to expose the boys to the following demonstrations and talks: Terrorism and its Weaponry by the S.A.P. Bomb Squad.

IMPORTANT EVENTS FOUNDERS'DAY-1987 This year's guest speaker was Mr Henry Cawood who. apart from being Managing Director of Afrox (Cape). has served with distinction on our PTA for ten years and on our School Committee for seven years. Mr Cawood. addressing the boys of the school. reminded them of the values and standards that Wynberg seeks to inculcate in its pupils: values such as thoughtfulness. respect for the individual. loyalty. fairness and honesty. In attempting to instill these attitudes. said Mr Cawood. the school was striving to prepare its pupils for a future South Africa in which

many problems would have to be solved and successes shared. Recalling the achievements of some of Wynberg's past pupils. Mr Cawood said that the attitudes and values, imparted by the school had stood many of its Old Boys in good stead. The ceremony in the Clegg Hall was followed by refreshments in the quadrangle and a sunny afternoon of enjoyable sports activities involving both the school and the Old Boys. P. E. D.

CONTACT WEEKS 1987

1987 MATRIC DANCE

Three contact weeks were held this year - with Rondebosch. SAC.S. and (for the first time) our Junior School. These weeks have provided a fine opportunity for the boys to meet and mix with their contemporanes from other schools in more thanjust the usual sporting fixtures. In the week prior to the Saturday hockey and rugby fixtures. pupils have met in common society meetings. a variety of sports. music evenings. debates and even (in the case of SAC.S.) a cycle tour. The staff. too. have had the opportunity of meeting their counterparts on a social and sporting level. In all. the three contact weeks this year have proved memorable.

The annual Matric farewell dance took place on Saturday 19 September in our school hall. which had been transformed into a ballroom with strong Russian overtones. The Matric Dance Committee. comprising Std 9 pupils. was under the chairmanship of Richard Penn. who was very ably assisted by Peter Cowen and Kevin Laithwaite (Catering). Colin Gottgens. Brian Watson and Richard Morris (Decorations). Andre Levey. Karl Thome and Simon Hoare (Finance). and Shawn Lee and Andrew Symmonds (Waiters). The food was served by thirty-five cossacks and the music was provided by "Charlie's Angels". Our thanks go to all those pupils and parents who helped make the dance such a success.

STD 9 CAMP On Friday. 9 October. seventy-six Std 9's left for the SOS camp site at Villiersdorp. Supper at the camp that evening was followed by a very informative talk by Mr de Waal. a former Wynberg teacher on situational leadership. The following morning. we were woken by the earsplitting blasts of Mr Rushby's whistle. Soon everybody was ready for the run. which ended in a quick dip in the pool- Garyth Bevan leading the way into the icy water. The first session that morning included Mr Richardson's talk on time plann.ing. He discussed the need for time planning in one's everyday situation as well as long term planning. such as the preparation for matric finals. His talk was then followed by Mr ConneIIan speaking on goals and aims of the Std 10 class during 1988. It was felt by the Std 9's that our main aims for 1988 should be improved involvement and improved communication. During the afternoon. an orienteering exercise was held. which took many boys up and down the mountains a few times. It was enjoyed by all. thanks to Bruce Spolander's hard work. Sunday began with a Church Service conducted by Kenny Lloyd. Kenny's talk was followed by Mr Algie's talk on objectives for 1988. This talk led up to a question and answer session which everybody appreciated. On SUnday, once everything was packed. there was a general feeling amongst all the Std 9's that the camp had been a great success. T.d.W

STAFF PLANNING WEEKEND A staff planning weekend was held over the weekend of 23/24 January. All staff attended and it was held in the school hall. The programme was as follows: Fridayafternoon 1. Evaluation of goals for 1986. 2. Group discussions on findings of the evaluation. Saturday morning - Session 1 1. Introduction on the longer teaching period by Mr H. V.d. Mescht (Queens College) and Mr P. Manser (Plumstead High). 2. Presentation of methods available for the longer teaching period. 3. Group discussion on how to tackle the longer teaching perio(L

The goals set for 1987 were: 1. To continue to try and improve the academic tone of the school. 2. To make Wynberg a caring school. especially through the supporting of one another.

THE SCHOOL'S NEW COMPUTER It had to happen sometime ... someone somewhere saw the plight of the poor teacher. chafing under the yoke of administrative duties. and came to the rescue with a computer programme which simply revels in peforming boring. repetitive. clerical chores - those duties teachers only find out about after settling into the first post. Our computer. Fred by name. is an ICl Elp with a memory. or potential to store andjuggle around at unthinkable speeds twenty million pieces of information. Some of that memory has been set aside to store a fascinati ng list of details about each pupil. Having digested and assimilated all this information. Fred can be commanded by a few deft keystrokes. to pour out lists of boys who play hockey (or even rugby for that matter). Reports and class lists can be printed. envelopes can be addressed. absentees recorded and monthly statements can be sent to those who need reminding. Since the administration of a school is much more complicated than the average business. the list of jobs Fred has to perform is almost interminable. Apart from performing the school administration. Fred is also programmed as a word processor (typing with a big difference) and as a spreadsheet (an errorfree method of doing all the calculations associated with markbook without having to touch a calculatora must for all teachers). The process of acquiring Fred has demonstrated yet again one of the special attributes of the Wynberg School community - the way parents and old boys rally round to help when needed: We wish. therefore. to thank Mr I Miller of Buspac Computer Systems for passing Fred on to us at cost and Mr B Giliam of Buzzword (Pty) limited for supplying the SAMNA word processor and spreadsheet programme at little more than cost price.

OPEN NIGHT Open Night took placea little earlier this year which did not. however. detract from the quality of work and projects on display. The evening started with the Senior Platoon and Cadet Band showing their skills on the Hollow. All departments put their work books on display and it was pleasing to note that many parents took the opportunity to view this aspect of their son's work. The Scienceand Biology departments again stole the show with spectacular experiments. but there were steady streams of visitors through all the classrooms. Most societies demonstrated aspects of their year's work. with the Photographic and Sailing societies impressing with their fine displays.

The evening concluded with the Choir. Wind Ensemble and Music pupils putting on short performances. The Std 9 and 1O'swrapped up the entertainment with their well-received play. "A Rising Generation". A feature of Open Night this year was that more and more parents are finding the evening a valuable occasion to see what their sons do for the majority of their working hours. The school can only benefit from this improved communication.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES, CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

AFRIKAANS VERENIGING Master-in-Charge: Chairman:

April saw the birth of a new society at our school. The Students Association Rejecting Cruelty to Animals now has a membership of close on 150 boys. many of whom are extremely dedicated to its ideals. These are mainly to create an awareness at all schools of the many organisations working to combat this evil. We have had many interesting speakers in the past few months. These have included speakers from SAAAPEA (South African Association Against Painful Experiments on Animals) and Beauty Without Cruelty. W~ have als~ seen disturbing film footage concerning animal expenments and exploitation. Hopefully. SARCA will soon spread to other schools in the Peninsula. thereby fulfilling its ideals of educating students about the iniquitous exploitation of those who cannot speak for themselves.

Mr S.V. Polden R. Lupini

1987 Saw the birth of this new society. but unfortunately it was notas successful as expected. Only a handful of pupils joined. with the result that events that were planned could not take place. The society was responsible (or the re-introduction of "Die Burger" into the library and G. Arnott delivered a very interesting talk on the topic "Die ontstaan en ontwikkeling van Afrikaans". We are planning a visit to the Knysna Forests and Paarl next year. We also hope that more pupils will become members of a society that could bejust as enjoyable as any of the other school societies. See you next yearl

Jeremy Joubert's slides on Halley's Comet were shown and star-gazing took place under the stars. though too few found the telescope set out on the Hollow. The Society's telescope is not yet complete. but Gavin and Jeremy and their parents are to be thanked sincerely for their work so far. They promise it will be completed in the fourth term.

BIOLOGY SOCIETY This year the society was under the chairmanship of Richard Hawkins who came up with some new and interesting ideas. In the first term the main project was to make microscope slides and this was fairly successful. -However. the entire society was soon drawn into an ongoing debate with SARCA members over the animal cruelty issue. Some interesting discussion followed and some biology society members were lost. In the end quite a number of joint meetings were held. particularly when guest speakers were invited to speak.

The main club activities were films which covered astronomy proper as well as space travel. The most popular films were those on the moonflights. namely: Apollo 8 (Journey Round the Moon). Apollo 10 (Prelude to Moon Landing) and Apollo 11 (One Giant Leap for Mankind. 1969) Talks were given by Prof. Fairall on the nature of the

Open Night caused its fair share of problems when Biology society members decided to boycott the dissection activities in the biology department. The feelings of those who are against dissection are certainly very strong and this has resulted in some healthy debate. Next year"s planning has already begun and it looks as though the society will be studying a different type of animal each week. using live specimens where possible. Animal cruelty or curiosity? The debate continues.

A.B.

The club has grown from strength to strength and now has a regular attendance of 4 tables. Two bridge tables were bought on auction at minimal cost and a third was kindly donated. The average standard of play has risen considerably with activities such as the Inter-House Bridge Competition and an evening of bridge on the eve of Founders' Day. A bridge test was also given to the club during the 3rd term. (It produced some alarmingly low scoresi) Nevertheless. much was learned from the exercise and during the year the atmosphere has been relaxed and enjoyable. The outgoing chairman. Colwyn van Rensburg. and his secretary. Paul Carey. must be thanked for the hard work they have done in organising the year"s activities. We look forward to an even more fruitful year next year. The final house positions are: 1 st (tied): Littlewood and Van Riebeeck 3rd (tied): De Waal and Wellington 5th: Rhodes L.G.M.

CAREERS SOCIETY The careers society differs from the other societies in that it does not have a fixed membership. Any pupil is welcome to attend any of the talks given during the year. The talks given are usually by people from the business or commercial world who take time off to come and tell us about the careers which they are following. Questions can be and are freely asked and the pupils find that they can get much first-hand knowledge of the career in which they may be interested. Not only does this society bring in speakers from outside. but it also brings the names of firms to the notice of pupils so that they can contact these firms with regard to careers at a later stage. This advantage is. however. not as intensively used as I would like it to

be. D. de la M.

choir rehearsal - typically busy and noisy! The performance in the hall. nevertheless. went well. At the moment. there are three Choir performances left - Founder's Day (with WBJS). a Welsh Choir Workshop and. to end off the year. the Carol Evening. In retrospect. the Choir has progressed extremely well over the past year - 4-part singing is now old hat! Having the opportunity of singing with established choirs. like WGHS. RBHS and the Swiss Choir. has given Wynberg the confidence and experience which this young choir was previously lacking. The choir loses eight Matrics: we wish Dion. Anton. Neil. Mark. Silvano. Barney, Roberto and Garth all of the very best. Hopefully. our numbers will increase in the new year. B.F.

SCHOOL CHOIR With eleven performances during the year. the choir boys were kept on their toes. The boys worked hard and their reward was many a polished performance. The first few months of the year were spent rehearsing dance steps rather than vocal technique. The result was a successful "Medley" at the Arts Festival. Our thanks go to Joe Koekemoer. At the Choir Eisteddfod in June. the boys sang two works and were awarded a Merit. The WGHS Workshop (with RBHS and Rustenburg) was once again a memorable day. The boys now know exactly how to sing Vivaldïs "Glo-ri-am". At the Music Evening. the Choir again gave a good performance. This year's Choir Camp was held at Melkbosstrand. The placemust be conduciveto singing - an entire new repertoire was learnt over the weekend! The new works were sung at the WBHS Choir Festival two weeks later. The guests were WBJS. WGHS. RBHS and the Swiss Male Choir. The audience was rewarded with a wide variety of outstanding singing. culminating in a 250-voiced rendition of"Fill the World with Love". Wynberg also sang "Aus der Traube" with the Swiss choir and "My Favourite Things" with WGHS and RBHS. It was a most memorable evening. On Open Night parents were invited to sit in on a

COMPUTER CLUB This year the Computer and Spectrum Clubshavecombined fairly amicably and the new Computer Club now resides in a specially created room next to the library. The members seem to be interested in computers in a variety of ways: a few are competent programmers and we await the results of an international competition they have entered. Others use the computers for

word processing while there are those who try to discover more about the wizardry of the electronics involved by dabbling with screwdrivers and soldering irons (these members are able to keep the local computer repair shops in business). Finally, there are those who are interested only in the challenge which the various games provide. However, the playing of games during school breaks is banned - break times being reserved for those with higher aspirations. This is an extremely active club. Every day, before school. at break times, after school and even during lesson times, one can hear the sounds of keyboarding behind the door of the computer room.

M Leach S Heathcote-Marks TdeWet TFlint MrCLuman

Once again the Debating Society has had an enventful and stimulating year. Despite slightly reduced membership, all members showed admirable commitment towards the society. During the first term the society ran the Inter-house debates. These were held in the informal periods and were run on a knock-out basis. Van Riebeeck defeated Rhodes by 189 points to 167 when they debated the topic "Our schools do not allow the modern teenage enough time for himself', but were defeated by Wellington in the semi-final when they discussed whether professional sportsmen are worth emulating. The finals between Van Riebeeck (Guy Lundy and Neil Eddy) and Wellington (Mark Leach and Sean Heathcote-Marks) were held during the Arts Festival. Van Riebeeck proposed the motion: "The Group Areas Act should be abolished", but were narrowly defeated by the Wellington team. The debates were well attended throughout and Messrs Smith and Decker are thanked for adjudicating. The second term began with an immensely enjoyable evening held in the Clegg Hall with RBHS. Once

S McCausland. Std 8

again we debated on the topic "Professional sportsmen are not worth emulating". This was followed by a "Just-a-Minute" contest. The teams were mixed and therefore an unbiased motion was carried by the floor. This was followed by a forum discussion evening with Pinelands where the Wynberg team discussed the topic: "There is no such thing as madness". As part of the SACS Contact week. bothjunior and senior teams debated against SACS. Thejuniors proposed the motion: "Schoolboy rugby is not all that it is made out to be" and the seniors opposed the motion "Exams are not the best method of evaluating a person's intelligence". The junior team also acquitted themselves against the Junior School in a very enthusiastic debate in the second term. The third term began well with the Regional Forum Discussion Competition organised and sponsored by SACEE. In the preliminary round we discussed the topic "Boxing should be declared a blood sport". WBHS were placed second to Herschel and. owing to the high standard of their discussion. were placed in the final round at Weste rfo rd. The team. consiSting of Mark Leach (Chairman). Guy Lundy. Sean Heathcote-Marks. Tim de Wet and Trevor Flint. acquitted themselves extremely well on the final night as they discussed the difficult 'subject that 'The minority is always right". They were narrowly beaten by SACS and Mark Leach was commended on his excellent chairmanship. (Mark is also to be congratulated on the standard of his oration during the SACEE Public Speaking Competition). The Best Speakers' Competition was held on Open Night and was a great success. The Junior section was ,won by G. Kruse who spoke on the extremely demanding and unusual subject of "Parapsychology". M. Leach and N. Eddy tied for first place in the Senior section. Their respective topics were "South Africa. what is the answer?" and "Hiroshima". The adjudicators. Messrs Smith and Graney. were most impressed by the standard of oration and the obvious amount of preparation. The adjucators are thanked for their much valued evaluation of the speakers. Finally. the annual reading competition was won by Mark Leach in a keenly contested competition. Once again. most of the competitors were well prepared and their extracts were well delivered. All in all. a most enjoyable year was had by all and we look forward to another successful year in 1988. We wish the departing Matrics every success in their future orations.

DRAMA

But this "success" must immediately be qualified. A number of contributors and participants only realised the potential of such a venture fairly late in the organisational stages of the Festival. That seems to be a major theme in the feedback from pupils. parents and staff. "We could have done so much more!" (especially in the "fringe" activities: jesters. acrobats. mime artists. at least one more puppet play. more dancing by the boys and girls. dancing for the guests at the dinner/ cabaret. and so on) Truly. a wealth ofsuggestions came pouring in once the idea of the Arts Festival had taken root. all of which were duly noted. This. of course. ensures much greater participation by all concerned when Wynberg produces another Festival in 1989. Probably the most novel aspect of the entire enterprise. was getting the greater school community to take part in a variety of activities. Uncertainty about the nature of a festival such as this prevented a number of people from contributing in the form of stalls and exhibitions. This applies to pupils and parents. At the same time. more pupils and parents (and teachers) were involved in the FeStival in some way than in any production since I arrived at Wynberg. Usually the annual drama production involves a few dozen people on stage and back stage. ranging from a cast and crew of 20 for The Realinspector Hound (1985) to 60 for Grease (1984). This year the performers alone numbered 140! Together with crew. technicians. exhibitors and vendors. organisers and front of house. approximately 320 people were actively involved. This is certainly no mean achievement and my very sincere thanks go to all of these people for their help and dedication. My congratulations to all the Houses for excellent work in the one-act play feStival! The standard was much higher this year than it has been in a long time, perhaps because the competition was fierce. A degree of competitive interaction is healthy. but it must be remembered that the one-act feStival is not a competition. I enjoyed all the plays so much that the queStion "Which was the best play?" seemed irrelevant and valuejudgement became impossible. What a pity that a lack of time made it impossible to perform at least one of the house plays during Open Night. especially as they were still fresh in the memories of the performers. At the time of writing this article. Mr Mike McCullagh is rehearsing two short plays written by his father. the Amstel Award winning playwright. Michael Drin. The plays are scheduled for early in the fourth term and are cast from standards 6 and 7. The plays are execellently written and rehearsals look promising. 1987 Has been an interesting year. a year in which Wynberg staged 18 dramatic productions. not including musical evenings. Productions of 1987

The Arts Festival this year generated an enormous amount of interest and it can be considered to have been a success.

1. Rock Raye - A popular dance from the late fifties. much appreciated by audiences during the Festival and Open Night

Expert playing from the Wind Trio during the Arts Festival

2. Costume Cavalcade - A colourful but blighted costume parade involving twelve scene changes in four minutes. 3. The American Medley - A group of smiling songsters in an American setting. 4. In Celebration of Christ.opher Columbus - A number of fine actors took part in this Std 6 production. notably Christopher Dorrington. James McCullagh and Mark Mawman.

5. Around the World in Eighty Days - This production was sheer fun. It was a romp around the world and won Cullum McGregor the award for best actor. 6. A Valentine for Kate - This comedy with a Shakespearean theme was skillfully directed and acted and was suitably popular with audiences. 7. The Rising Generation - This play hasbeen produced at Wynberg before. It was risky staging it

Rehearsing for the popular "Rock Rave"

again. but a risk well worth taking. Sean HeathcoteMarks. particularly. gave a detailed performance. 8. Trial by Jury - It was a pleasure working with performers like Marthinus van der Westhuizen. Forbes Smith. Denise Groenewald and Norman Edwards. But not only the principals showed great professionalsims. the chorus worked hard and had a great deal of fun. 9. The Puppet Club - The club staged two short productions: The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. The puppeteers performed superbly with a slighUy inappropriate script. Well done. Duncan Mills. 10. Lewenslyn Standard 8 AlC sal weet wat ek bedoel as ek sê dat werk aandie produksie veel belangriker was as die uiteindelike produk. Dankie virjulle vergifnis! 11. The Surprise Theatre - This little skit co-ordinated by Andrew Lampbrecht drew a disappointingly small audience. perhaps because of the drizzle. Full marks for initiative and imagination. 12. The De Waal One-Act play was entiUed Ali Vah. a playlet based on Oliver Twist. 13. LitUewood's murder mystery. A Test for Three Detectives was a humorous production which won Richard Penn the award as best director. 14. Rhodes staged a South American play called A Gift for Pachacutilnca. The main theme was about honesty and trust. Jonathan Ashcroft-Evans directed. 15. Neil Eddy directed The Way-Out Wizard of Oz for Van Riebeeck.a particularly appropriate choiceof one-act play. • \)

•

16. Patrick Walton showed a great talent as a director in the Wellington house play called The Dark. This two-hander was superbly controlled. 17. The final productions for 1987 are the two plays by Michael Drin. & directed by Mike McCullagh: The Waiting Room and The Chinese Mask. J.F.K.

GEOGRAPHY SOCIETY Chairman: M von Bentheim Vice-Chairman: M Badiali Committee: A Harris. W Frewer. M Roux. C van Rensburg Geog~occontinued to be well supported throughout the year. with attendances ranging between 60 and 100 at each meeting. The society was addressed by a number of very interesting guest speakers. their topices covering a very wide spectrum. Mr Lister. of the U.C.T.MechanicalEngineering Department. discussed the oil rigs of the North Seawith the aid of a set of exceptional slides. He explained construction planning. cost. rig construction and maintenance and he related this technical background to the new developments at Mossel Bay. Other speakers were equally interesting and professional. but lack of space precludes a summary of all these talks. Other topics included Antartica. Nepal.Structural Geology and Urbanisation. A slide show. prepared by Or Keen of the U.C.T. Department. was also shown. In this programme the main contributory factors to urban pollution and their shortand medium term consequenceswere examined. A number of films on a wide range of topics were screened. For the first time. the Society screened a full length commercial circuit film. namely "The Emerald Forest". It is a superb film. a subtle and moving indictment of man's greed and stupidity which has lead to the rapid destruction of our tropical rainforests. A group of 16 pupils visited the Topographical Survey offices and studios in Mowbray. There they were introduced to the time-consuming. expensive.but fascinating process of making maps and aerial photographs. The group returned with a new respect for the topo sheets that they use during mapwork periods. Geogsocwas also involved injoint meetings with the History Society. The Mountain Club and S.A.R.C.A.

HISTORY SOCIETY The History Society has had an interesting year and has continued to enjoy the support of the school. We have been extremely active this year and have occupied almost every Society's period with either a lecture or a film of some kind. As there was a general electionjust a few months ago. the History Society tended to concentrate on matters of a political nature during the first half of the year and we had a number of speakers address us. A highlight of the year was an address given to the History Society by a Mr Avivi of the Western Province Zionist Council. His presentation included a short film and dealt with the horrors that the Jews endured during World War II. Mr Richardon also gave a weil illustrated talk on the history of the i3erlin Wall. a topic which is of special interest to him. Towards the end of the third team. the History Society also arranged a History Quiz during one of the Societiesperiods and this proved to be a lot of fun. The contest consisted of a series of knock-out rounds. At the end of a specifiedtime. the boy who had answered the most questions correctly went through to the next round. The eventual winner was J.P. Baar. The History Society hopes that the remainder of the year will be as enjoyable and educational as the first part has been.

GYMNASTICS CLUB The Gym Club hashada relativelyactiveyear. The greater majority of the members put on a display for the Std 6's in the first term and again during Open Night Alan Daly was elected Chairman for 1987 with Graeme Wilson as his deputy. Both did a finejob and always ensured that members were kept busy throughout the Societies Period. Barry Hillier has beenelected chairman for the 1988 year and we wish him well in ensuring a very active year.

LIFE-SAVING SOCIETY

MAGPIE SOCIETY

This society only operated during the first term. its main objective being to encourage boys tojoin surf lifesaving clubs. Basic life-saving skills such as artificial respiration. first aid. various practical swimming tests and "pick-up" methods were dealt with.

Chairman:

R. Vaughan

The Society has had an increase of six members since the end of 1986. Open Night was successful for the Magpie Society with each member displaying his particular hobby and explaining it to the interested visitors. Thank you to all the members who spoke on Open Night and during the Society Periods and to Mr J. Louw. our Master-in-Charge. for his display on Open Night We are grateful to him for allowing us to use his classroom as a meeting place.

THE LITERARY SOCIETY The Society decided at the beginning of the year that it would take the form of an amorphous committee rather than a society in the normal sense of the word. This committee would organise a notice board in the library in order to display newspaper articles. reviews by members and correspondence of a literary nature (including the infamous Enid Slyton affair. when numerous correspondents argued and counter-argued the relative merits of Enid Slyton as literature). Lists of recommended books were also circulated from time to time. One of the society's aims was to aetas a "Friends of the Library" association. In this respect. two major achievements were realised: f.irstJy. the establishment of a rare book section (including a first edition of Ray Campbell's Flaming Terrapin). and. secondly. the collecting of donations of books to the value of about R750 for the library during the Arts Festival. Thank you to all who contributed. The Literary Society has made a strong start during its first year.

MATHEMATICS CLUB This club is run by Mr Rushby and has a relatively small membership. The aim of the Maths Club is to prepare Standard 8'5. 9's and 1O's for the Maths Olympiad and the UCT Shell Maths Competition. Meetings are held until the writing of these competitions. This year we also started preparing a film based on "The Pappus Theorem" and this will be continued next year. The film will be entered in the 1988 Science Expo.

THE MOUNTAIN CLUB GROOT WINTERHOEK

Literary Society members: hungry for book donations

The weather was splendid and most of our time was spent swimming. eating. chatting and sun-bathing. rather than hiking. Unfortunately. large areas were blackened from vast veld fires the previous week. but the unspoilt areas were in a riot of colour. The rock formations of ths rarely-visited area are asspectacular as those of the Cedarberg. but most enjoyable of all were the crystal clear streams and pools. Our first night was spent under the oaks at Groot Kliphuis. and the second and third at DeTronk. where we were befriended by a local farmer who had many interesting tales to share. Apart from the occasional hiker. the only people he seesare the villagers of Porterville when he visits once a month. The climax of our trip was undoubtedly our descent into De Hel. a beautiful natural swimming pool bounded by the towering cliffs of the Vier-en-Twintig Rivier canyon. Fed by a waterfall. the pool leads into a boulder-strewn upper river course down which we "hopped". However. mostofourtimewasspentswimming. enjoying the lush vegetation surrounding the pool. and exploring the maze of lateraloverflow tunnelswhose extremities we could neither reach nor see. although we hadwalked 300 metres or more along the larger ones. Jumping from fourteen-metre high cliffs into the water. basking in the sun and viewing Bushmen paintings were only a few of our other activities. before returning to De Tronk. On the 4th day. we hiked back to the bus with the thermometer recording a sizzling 41°C in the shade. We would like to thank Messrs Morris and Greenwood for arranging and accompanying us on this delightful trip. On behalf ofall the 1986 Mountain Club matrics. I would like to add a special thank you to Mr Morris for sharing his love of the mountains with us.

BOLANDTRAIL-MARCH

1987

Twenty pupils from both the Girls' High and our school were led by Mr Morrisand two teachersfrom the Girls' school in the first hike of the year. The hike began on a Saturday morning the Grabouw Forest Station. lt followed a route around the Eikenhof Dam to the Eikenhof Hut. From there it was a long. uphill slog for 14 Ik kilomtres to the Landraskop Hut. The only casualty was an asthma attack suffered by one of the.girls. Shewas. unfortunately. forced to turn back with Mrs Martin. An enjoyableevening in the mist and a good night's rest concluded Saturday. Sunday saw a fall:y late "wake-up" followed by a nourishing breakfast. The route back was a fairly quick downhill stint on an alternate route to the one we had used on the outwardjourney. We were rejoined by Mrs Martin at this stage. An enjoyable swim in the Eikenhof Damconcludeda most pleasant weekend in the mountains.

DU TOITS KLOOF- 31 MARCH 1987

Ten members of the mountain club left from Silverhurst on Tuesday.31 March for the DuToil's Kloof. The first night was very cold and was spent in the mountain club hut. The next day began with an easy walk along the Krom River with numerous swims before moving to the upper reachesof the river. The going was tough and a rope was used as a safety precaution at one of the waterfalls. The morning culminated with a swim in Paradise Pool below a 20 foot waterfall. A cold wind set in after lunch and we returned on the samepath to sleepwhere we had slept the previous night The secondday saw a strenuous climb to the Elands River Valley where we reached the fisherman's cave and enjoyed a swim in one of the dark rock pools. We continued up the river. passing trout-fishermen and pools before reaching our destination. Junction Pool. at the fork of the river. All this and the most glorious weather ensured a most enjoyable climb with no casualties.

THE MUSIC APPRECIATION SOCIETY The Music Appreciation Society was formed to cater for those who enjoyed all forms of music. It hasabout ten regular members. all ofwhom are keen musicians. During the two terms that the society has been in existence. we have had a quiz. watched a tilm on Eastern music. participated in various discussions and have been given instrumental demonstrations by members

J Ross-Munro. Std 10

of the group. We also visited the Beau Soleil Music Centre for a percussion demonstration by one of Cape Town's leading percussionists. The society is new and is still finding its feet. but its future looks promising.

An interesting display illustrating many activities and aspectsof the Club was produced on Open Night. Congratulations must go to Alan Dixon. who received his Western Province colours for fresh-water angling and to Eric Rowberry who was selected to represent Western Province at the Border Inter-Provincial Junior Angling Tournament. The Society is bound to make great strides in the year ahead under the capable chairmanship of Eddie Hayman and his Committee. Good luck!

PHOTOGRAPHV SOCIETY This year. the Photography Society. under the keen and enthusiastic chairmanship of Roger Austen. experienced photograph taking in forms ranging from the obvious sports pictures to the more cultural type of study. This hard work - and indeed hard work it proved for all- culminated in an Open Night display of Black and White and Colour pictures that showed the wide range of subject matter that had been seen and recorded by our members. A fully-equipped studio set-up was arranged by G Leon. This proved a focal point for many visitors on Open Night. and. if we were tojudge from the favourable comments that were uttered by the admirers of photographic skills. no doubt inspired many a laggard to dust off his camera and once more exercise the art. The darkroom this year was used very successfully by the members of the society. RAusten. R Dales.W Fletcher. A Killingbeck. G Leon.J Maitland. S Sinnott. A Wheatcroft. J Hahndiek. P Lautenbach.A Tooley and D Malenson took parts in the various competitions. R Austen arranged very successfully a programme of subjects for competition purposes. This ran from March to October and covered variations from architecture to pets and sunsets to special effects. Although it would have been desirable to study the derivations that are possible in a darkroom. it was unfortunately not possible to allow ourselves this privilege. It was a grand sight during the various school activities. such as galas and sports days. to see boys using their cameras. hoping to capture the elusive moment of glory in all its brief transitoriness. To the new committee. being elected soon. my good 'wishes for a picturesque 1988.

ROLE PLAVING SOCIETY The Role Playing Societywas founded towards the end of the second term by a standard seven pupil. Anthony Aspden. It has grown in membership and is now in full swing. The present chairman is Peter Hoare. the ViceChairman is Anthony Aspden. while the Secretary is Jeremy Morris. Trevor van der Wel is the Treasurer of the society. A role playing game requires about five or six players and one games master. The players each have a sheet of paper on which their character is described by meansof various statistics. The games master hasa set of rules (there is a different set for eachgame) and a module. The module contains information about a particular adventure and the players have to react to events by making decisions according to their abilities as defined by the statistics. There are no boards in these games for they are all played in the mind. This generates a more realistic environment in which to play. In addition to playing games. we teach new members how to play so that they too can enjoy the excitement Several members of the society are involved in writing their own games or rewriting games to improve them. We plan to start a library of gamesand hope to produce a magazine in the fourth term. The society also intends playing games with pupils from schools that have similar clubs. K.1.

PISCATORIAL SOCIETY

SAILING

During a relatively quiet year. the Society continued to flourish and prosper and attracted a large membership. Activities this year included Ski-boat and freshwater competitions. as well as videos and discussions during the Societies Period. The highlight of the year was undoubtedly the Yellowtail voyage on the deepsea vessel. "Sherene". owned by a club member's father.

Although sailing is not an official school sport. our sailing successescontinue and the sport at Wynberg continues to go from strength to strength. During the past year our name has once again been added to many trophies. Some of our wins include: - Muira Interschool Keelboat Championships - Sprog Association Interchase Championships - Optimist Interschoois

Wynber SailingTeam

- Multi-Class Interschoois Regatta: Mirror Class: 1st Individual and 2nd Overall Dabchick Class: 1st Overall Laser Class:2nd Overall WBHS was the overall winner of this regatta by more than 1500 points! - 3rd place In the ucrvc Frostbite Regatta - 2nd place in IYC Western Province Point Series. Our thanks to all the friends who have assisted with transport and boats and crews during the year and especially to all those hard workers who made our "Open Night""display such a success. O.M. Have the Science Club achieved the Impossible?

SCIENCE CLUB

during Societies Periods. This year the Club has introduced certain tasks that the Std 6's and Ts have to accomplish in order to learn correct laboratory technique. The Club has been on a number of informative and enjoyable excursions this year. These include the Ysterplaat Air Force Base.Koeberg Nuclear Power Station and the AECI Acid Plants. During Societies Periods. we have had a variety of talks. demonstrations. competitions and films. Mr Fish. a student teacher. gave a fascinating demonstration with lazers.Various members havealso given talks and

Committee:

B Murphy (Chairman) J McCormick E Westvig S Shuman Master-in-Charge: Mr R Radloff The ScienceClub's main aim this year was to provide pupils with the opportunity to conduct laboratory experiments that would be impossible in the classroom situation. The Club meets before school. during breaks and

demonstrations. The best of these were performed by W Carew, and J Joubert. During primary week, the Std 6's and Tsjoined up with thejunior school boys and a competition was held. This was followed by a spectacular smoke demonstration. During Open Night the Club had the Std 6's tasks on display. We also demonstrated a chain reaction and burnt a pencil sharpener. On the whole. I am happy with the Club's activities and it would be pleasing to see more members performing experiments during break next year.

It is remarkable to see just how keen on surfing many boys are and I am convinced that this society will go from strength to strength.

THE VIDICAM CLUB The Vidicam Club was formed to encourage the pupils' creative talents in the field of video programme production. We have had three meetmgs and. at the last meeting, a competition was launched to find the best five-minute video produced this year - it has been encouraging to see the number of production teams being formed. all bursting with ideas. The Club also plans to viewoutstanding films in order to learn as much as possible about the production of films and videos. At our second meeting a committee was formed, with Sheldon MacDonald as Chairman and Gary Korck as Vice-Chairman.

STOCK EXCHANGE SOCIETY President: Mr Russell Chairman: S. Elder 1987 saw the inception of the Stock Exchange Society and I think we can look back on an absorbing year. During the first term. we entered a team in the annual Schools' Business Game. With the help of Mr Keith Lindsay. the team managed well. Much was learnt about the world of business, even though on a small scale. and I look forward to a keener participation in the future. I believe much can be learnt from involving ourselves in such projects. Unfortunately. membership has been rather small, possibly owing to lack of knowledge about the society. It is hoped that more standard nines willjoin the society next year. During the year. outside speakers spoke to us on such subjects as unit trusts. operation of a stock exchange and the running of the small business. My thanks to these speakers for their time and their interesting talks. Next year. I intend to focus our meetings on the investment of money: there are many questions concerning investment that need answering and I believe the senior members of the school have a lot to gain from such a society. Finally. my thanks to the Chairman who has done an excellent job in this the founding year of the society.

Mr Murcott talks to his Vidcammers

WILDLIFE SOCIETY Unfortunately. the Society has not been able to participate in any camps this year. Few talks have been arranged owing to the difficulty in arranging for professional people to talk to us at the time set aside for the Societies Period. However. two talks were arranged. one in connection with SARCA on the subject of cruelty to animals. This talk brought home to us very strongly how much cruelty to animals surrounds us. Numerous films. organised by Mr Ten Velthuis. proVided both entertainment and information concerning wildlife and its conservation. An outstanding film screened was the Baboons of Gombe which dealt with Jane Goodall's research on the baboon. Two camps were organised: one to the Hoop Nature Reserve in July and one to the Rustig Nature

SURFING SOCIETY This society was established during the second term of 1987. The society proves to be one of the biggest at school with a membership of approximately 85 pupils. The Committee. with Richard Morris as the Chairman. runs the society well. Various surfing competitions for Seniors and Juniors were held and an inter-school competition against SACS was held. Videos were shown ofvarious surfing competitions. Peter Slate was called in to share his experience during his very successful performances in Hawaii and California.

Reserve in September. Unfortunately. both had to be cancelled owing to transport problems. This was a great pity as both camps would have been very enjoyable. One other event was the Open Night Display which was quite successful and the committee of B Ruwiel. S Penny and M Klibbe are to be congratulated on this. As the matrics are leaving soon. a new committee has been elected. They are B Ruwiel. S Penny. M Klibbe. S Butler. and N Da Silva.

Night on 20 August We were then invited as guest artists to the Junior School's annual music concert. We also performed at Founders Day on the 2 September. In the 4th term. we will be playing at Prize Giving and at the installation of the 1988 prefects. Our final performance is the School's annual Carol Service. Many thanks to Mr Edwards for his hard work and encouragement during the year. S.M.

WOOD CARVING SOCIETY WIND ENSEMBLE

This society met regularly throughout the year. As woodcarving is a very slow process. most of the members are still working on their carvings. At the moment. a floral frieze and a spirallamp are being carved. For a successful result in carving. a pupil needs the correct carving chisels (they must be very sharp). a welldesigned plan. the correct wood. a lot of time and patience and not a little skill.

It has been a very active year for the Wind Ensemble. We became an Opera Orchestra for the production of "Trial by Jury" and on the 11 June we presented our annual concert when we invited musicians from the Junior School to join us. We were then invited to play and demonstrate our various instruments to our Junior School. In the second half of the year. we performed at Open

HEAD PREFECT'S REPORT Our years as prefects officially started at the Prefects' Camp held at Silverhurst during the last week of the December holidays. We acquainted ourselves with the various skills of leadership and set our goals for the year. There were four main goals: - To improve school spirit - To improve communications within our schoolcommunity - To create social awareness - To improve Wynberg's public image. Various smaller programmes were embarked upon to help us achievethese goals. I feel that we were very successful in two of these goals this year; these being communication and school spirit Prefects' assemblies proved to be an invaluable method of communication between prefects and pupils. These assemblieswere well prepared and the school was entertained by a number of excellent speakers.

Spirit in the school seemed to come alive in the school this year. This spirit was always evident on the banks of the rugby fields and around the hockey fields on the momings of major fixtures. The Supporters' Club did an excellentjob in organising such matters as cheerleaders' costumes and cheering practices. A number of Supporters' Club badges have been awarded to boys. The prefects have enjoyed their year thoroughly. I would like to thank them and the rest of the Matrics for helping the school during the year. Thanks must also go to Messrs Connellan. Rushby and Todd who gave so much attention to the prefect body during 1987.

To all the guys of the school: Ef1ioyyour school and what it offers you and try to give something back to it. In all that you do - "Go for it!" N. E.

8D have collected R19.15 for Tape Aids for the Blind. 8E have collected R8 which they donated to the School's Big Walk. 7C intend giving their Rl 0 to some Wildlife project. 7E have collected RZOfor St John Ambulance. 6A havecollected R3.55 for Tape Aids for the Blind. 6B have collected R17.50 for the SPCA. 6C have collected RZ7 for SANCCOB. 6D have collected R5 for the SPCA. 6E have collected Rl for the SPCA. One will see from the list that some classes are. regretfully. absent and that offers have only paid lip serviceto the ideaof sacrifice for others. Nevertheless. I think a great deal has beendone by the overwhelming majority of the pupils. My grateful thanks go to the members and boys of the club and school who so generously gave of their time and money to help others and. in particular. my thanks go to Derek Marshall who was the backbone of the Club this year.

INTERACT This has been another fulfilling year for the club led ably by Chairman Derek Marshall who was assisted by Secretary Andrew Swift. At the regular meetings plans and arrangements were made in reaction to the neverending stream of requests for help. I do feel. however. the members of the club could have been more forthcoming with ideasas to how to involve themselves and their fellow scholars in projects within the community. The club rendered help during street collections for the following organisations: Jan Kriel School Dominican-Grimley School SANCCOB South African Institute of Race Relations National cancer Association MOTH Women's Auxiliary As part of the cape Town Festival. boys helped the Voluntary Aid Bureau by manning stalls. The club assisted again with the Silverhurst Christmas parties. the Rotary Community carnival and the Rotary Community carnival and the Rotary Bergvliet fête. A highlight of the year - unfortunately not supported in great numbers - was the Bel Porta One-toOne fête held in the Good Hope Centre. It was a very exhausting. but richly rewarding. experience for those boys who entertained the Bel Porta pupils. Other institutions to which help (mainly of a financial nature) was given include the Child Welfare Society. the Community Chest. Tape Aids for the Blind. World Vision 40-Hour Famine. cape Town City Mission Homes - Bruce Duncan House. St Luke's Hospice and SANTA. Within the school each class has been encouraged during the year to contribute from their pocket money towards their own charity. The position to date is as follows: lOB is thinking of a mural or painting for a Home (lOB is the Art Class) loe have collected RIOD by selling coffee at breaks. They intend this sum to go to the South African National Council for Alcoholism to be used for drug rehabilitation work. 9A have collected RIl for Tape Aids for the Blind. 9B have collected R20 for the Peninsula School Feeding Fund. gc have collected RIl by bringing apples to school and selling them in the class.This amount is to go to St Michael's Home. 90 have collected R3 for the SPCA. 9E have collected R18.92 to go to the South African Association Against Painful Experiments to Animals. 8A have collected RZ for Tape Aids for the Blind. 8C - the classthat is tops in caring and commitment. have amassed R1Z6 for World Vision from their own pocket money. Well done. Robert Miller.

THE STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN UNION The S.C.U.has had a very successfulyear. thanks to the participation of the members and the efforts of the committee. A lot of individual growth hasoccurred and a strong senseofunity hasdevelopedamong all those involved. Meetings have been held regularly on Wednesdays and Fridays. The Wednesdaymeetings usually take the form of a guest speaker and the attendance on the whole has been good. The Friday meetings are held in conjunction with the Girls' School and are also normally well-attended. Apart from the usual meetings. small groups of boys meet regularly for informal sharing and discussion. This allows all members to get actively involved and contribute to the growth of one another. Possibly the highlight of the year was the camp held near Simonstown in April. As is the tradition. it was shared with the Girls' School and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. During the year we havehelped run a meeting at the Junior Schooland havealso met with the C.U.Sof Rondebosch and S.A.C.S. Other happenings such as a progressive supper. a breakfast. the Big Dipper and a Go-Kart Derby have helped make it a memorable year. Lastly. I must express my sincere thanks to Mr Maser and Mr Moore for their dedication and hard work and wish the 1988 committee well in all that they do.

dit to those pupils who excelled. Tribute was paid to Graeme Pollock. Jani Dunn and the late Bobby Locke. Many valueable articles have also been written concerning the treating of injuries. The size of the edition has increased to forty pages (a bumper editionl) and the 150-200 copies sold very well. Thanks must go to Fish Hoek Printing and Zip Print for printing the magazines. The standard nine staff leaving in June have done a finejob and the "Running Commentary" has been left in the capable hands of Peter Mills and his staff. I must extend my thanks to Mr Pretorius who has done so much to help me during my year as editor. "Wynbergian"

Editorial Committee

"THE WYNBERGIAN" The Wynbergian staff has again this year endeavoured to improve the quality of the magazine and to increase readership within the school. We also decided this year to experiment with distribution of the magazine outside the confines of Wynberg Boys' High School. The year has been a successful one to date with the magazine initially boasting astaff of about twenty-five. This number has. of course. become smaller and the staff now consists of a group of dedicated pupils who attempt to give the pupils of Wynberg the best reading value their money can buy. We decided at the beginning of the year that we would like to increasethe size ofWynbergian considerably and so far our aim has been fulfilled. with both ediclons published to date being larger than the one that preceded them. We also hope to exploit humour in the Wynbergian to a greater extent than has been done in the past This year has been an interesting one. the general election being a major news item. Various contributions by the Wynbergian staff have managed. hopefully. to enlighten the school as to the nature of the political spectrum in South Africa. Bearing in mind that the Wynbergian is. of course. a school publication. we have also covered a lot of school oriented activities. The topics which these articles dealt with included both the cultural and sporting spheres. Until now. hard work and perseverence by the Wynbergian staff has ensured that the magazine has contionued to enjoy the support that it has had in the past We hope that it will continue to enjoy even greater support in the future.

The first hill of the Big Walk

BIG WALK '87 This year's committee. consisting of Terence Collopy. Sean Kotthoff. John Laurenson. Karl Westvig. was chaired by Glenn Treadaway. As an incentive to achieve our goal of R15.00 per pupil. individuals received a badge for raising RIS and a peak for raising R30. Thanks to the efforts of both boys and staff. a cheque of R8 500 could be given to charity. A second cheque of approximately R300 was forwarded later. 282 Badges were earned and 65 peaks. Last year our Big Walk supported "Operation Hunger" and this year we chose the SOSChildren's Villages who put their money to good use by turning under-privileged orphans into contributing members of society. At a special assembly. Mrs Robinsen received the cheque on behalf of Project SOS. The walk itself went off smoothly and I would like to thank the route marshalIs as well as the members of staff who assisted. The standard which raised the most money this year was Std 6 and the individual class which raised the most was Std 6C. The three top individual money-raisers were K Bacon who raised R165 and Mr Connellan and Mr Creed tied for second place with Rl 00 each. All in all. this year's Big Walk was a big success.

In view of the intense interest shown in this course. it was decided to run our own course under the auspices of the South Africn Red Cross Society. This course was completed by 15 of our boys during the second term and after an examination. the following received certificates: Simon Bishop. Andrew Cowey. Gavin Glaum. Ian Harris. Andrew Hibling. Shaun Lee. Derek Marshal!. Robert Miller. Etienne Postings. Robert Robson. Hylton Stiles. Matthew Swart. Andrew Tooley. Brian van Ginkei and Stephen van Rhyn. All these boys have been involved in providing first aid services at the school when big rugby/hockey days are held here. A special word of thanks to Miss Bernadette Fasslerfor co-ordinating this service.

Does it hurt? Have you fainted? Look at that ..... eek! The needle IS only two mlhmetres thick! Buzz! The plastic bag is full and I have done my bit to help someone out there. Feelsgood somehow. Another year of the WBHS Clinic hascome and gone. The boys have responded enthusiastically to the call and our clinics have all been conducted in a lively. cheerful atmosphere ef!Ïoyed by donors and clinic staff alike. We plan to have only two clinics during 1988. in the first and third terms. The W.P. Blood Transfusion Service are spreading their net to cover more schools. They hope that all new donors will become active members of their local clinics. All seventeen year old pupils are encouraged to attend along with our staff and parents.

THE PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION: From a purely fund-raising viewpoint. 1986 is proving a hard act to follow. The Pick 'n PaySchemewas a oneoff venture and the Committee is not convening the Inter-Schools Carnival for t 987. These two projects raised closeon R20 000.00 last year and we shall have to give serious thought to organising a féte at the High School next year. The Parent Teachers' Annual General Meeting was. once again. well attended in February and the evenings allotted to parent-teacher discussion have been invaluable. We have a few projects in the 3rd and 4th terms and look forward to continued support for 1987.

FIRST AID COURSES Two First Aid Courseswere held at the school this year. The first was a course offered to the schools in our area. sponsored by the Allied Building Society. run by St John's Ambulance and held at Wynberg Boys' High School over a period of 10 weeks during the first and second terms. Great interest was shown by the Wynberg boys in this course. but unfortunately only 4 out of 58 who indicated their interestcould participate. An examination at the conclusion of the course resulted in James McCormick. Greg Mills. Trevor Pentz and Dwayne Bailey being presented with certificates by Mr Mike van Alphen of the Allied ata school assembly.The Building Society also donated a first aid kit to the school.

Guns spat flame and machines spiralled down. billowing long. black trails of smoke in their wake. From down below. a splendid spacecraft soared upwards towards the dark unknown.

accepted by even the Philistines: Kitsch becomes Classicism and Classicism becomes Camp. Eclecticism is the name of the game and all moves at breakneck speedto nowhere. The time has come to push this excessto the side so that art can continue forward again. This is a thought that has come about from appreciating Art as an art. The very antithesis of this concept has been produced by similar methods. To appreciate Art as an art we must redefine art; we must look upon art not only in terms of the visual arts but in terms of writing. music and theatre too. For Art to break the boundaries placed on it during the thousands of years of its creation. we need to change our very thinking about art and its place in society. A by-product of looking at Art asan art may allow a musician to use tools and techniques traditionally used by. for example. an architect. to compose a minuet Experiments of this sort have in isolation. been going on for years now. but nothing concrete has been established. When we finally appreciate Art as an art we shall seethat art hasbeen around usall the time. without our realising it Take. for example. this painting that you havejust read ....

"Stop banging Shuman's head against the wall. Did you know every time you do that he loses two brain cells. and he hasn't many to spare". The classstarted to titter. Then some. unable to control themselves. began guffawing. I felt quite pleased that I was able to amuse them. Entertain them. Come to think of it. my statement was rather witty. even if I say so myself. I began to laugh with them. Some began to point at the board behind me I presumed.1 turned to see what was so remarkably humorous on the board. There was nothing. Then looking down I realised what was so amusing. My trouser zipper had become undone. I went to my desk. put my head in my arms and sobbed silentJy for the final seven minutes of the school day. T flint. Standard 7

ART AS AN ART When is painting not an art and when is writing a book sculpture? In fact: is writing a novel novel or poetry poetic? We are reaching a watershed in art where nothing new seems possible. where nothing shocks. where all is

I stood mesmerized by her rivetting hazel-brown eyes. Her hair was golden brown. gleaming in the sun which had fingered its way through the leaves above. As she moved. her hair resembled a golden wheat field being rippled by the wind. Her body was sleek and all aspectswere proportional. a perfectly sculptured work of art. Her supple musclescould be seenrippling as she shifted her weight. Now I could understand perfection. for a masterpieceof mother nature was standing gazing at me.She moved toward me and I knew now that this Golden Labrador was the pet of my dreams.

HER EYES AND HER SMILE WENT STRAIGHT TO MY HEART

A shaft of early morning sunlight filtered through the cobweb-like curtains. bringing an end to my somnolent bliss. This morning. however. I felt no regret or feeling of depression as I crept out of my warm cocoon. for some mystical sensehinted that that day would be special. I put my running gear on. my fingers fumbling with the laces. I left the house. exhaling columns of white condensation in the frosty morning air. The park was particularly spectacular that morning. The grass was twinkling as the sun obliterated the last nodules of dew. The silhouetted trees looked like a paper cut-out pasted on an opaque, pale blue background. Only my panting. and the crunching sound as my shoescrashed against the gravel. shattered the unearthly silence. Then I saw her. I stopped. Her beauty was almost too much for me. as I swayed. trying to catch my breath. I stared. attempting to grasp and comprehend what I saw.

Already Baby Sister has spotted the ice-cream man whose incessantcall is as much part of the beachas the burning sand and the squawking seagull. As usual. it is Father who passesher the coin, in defiance of Mother's opinion that "The child's teeth will fall out if she does not stop eatingjunk'" The Uncle and his family arrive. Now the kids will leavethe parents alone to a peaceful Sunday in the sun. The two men, having set up deck-chairs for their wives, settle down on towels to discuss who did not turn up for.work and how much time the secretary spendson the telephone talking to her boyfriend. Each man presents his week and each is sure his week was filled with more headachesand aggravation than the other's. The two women, thoroughly covered in suntan lotion, are discussing their diets. They both feel totally disillusioned, because they have lost only two kilograms between them. Aunty lowers her voice and begins to tell Mother from behind her palm about her friend's daughter who is Jiving with a man who does not even have a job. Mother becomes extremely irritated with Baby Sister's nagging for a second orangelolly and tells Sister not to disturb herwhen shecansee she and Aunty are discussing something important. From beneath the umbrella, I watch the children screeching as the wave engulfs their sandcastle.An old man is lying on his back with the "Sunday Times" spread over his head.A wet dog shakes himselffree of the water on his coat so that his hairs stand out spiky and untamed. I watch a couple clasp hands as they stroll unhurriedly, enjoying the feeling of the hot sand grains under their feet. I see the whisper of cloud high in the still, blue sky. The great sea heaves like an awakening monster. I resume my comfortable position on the towel and go on dreaming as before.

WHERE SEA MEETS LAND

The sceneof a typical Sundayafternoon at the beach with the family is so familiar to me. Father has the folded beach-umbrella unde'r one arm and the coolerbag filled with assorted sandwiches, cooldrinks and juicy summer fruits in the other hand. Mother walks on ahead to find an empty spot and gesticulates wildly from beneath a sun-hat for Father to put up the umbrella atjust the correct angle.

Groot korporasies betaal miUoenerande om ons hulle advertensies gedurende die gholftoernooi te wys. Is dit heeltemal nodig? Suid-Afrikaanse sport het'n groot invloed op ons politiek. Sport word deur die wêreld as 'n wapen teen ons gebruik, amper soos die ekonomiese druk wat hulle op ons plaas. Sportrade en komitees moet baie geld betaal om 'n internasionale toerspan na SuidAfrika te bring. Die meeste Suid-Afrikaners dink dat die Curriebeker-finaliste die belangrikste persone in die land is. Ons is heeltemal sportmal. Die idee om 'n standbeeld van 'n sportfiguur op te rig is die laaste ding wat ons kan aanvaar. Ons moet nou die "bloubulle" by die horings pak om dinge reg te maak, om normaliteit na ons land terug te bring. Vergeet SWAPO en die ANC. Vergeet die gevegte in Soweto en Nyanga. Sport is Suid-Afrika se groot vyand. Sport, wat elke maand miUoenerande kos, wat so veel tyd op die televisie neem, wat so veel plek in die koerant opneem. Ons moet vergeet van die mensewat oor klein leerballetjies baklei. Dit is beter om ons tyd te gebruik om 'n beter land te bou, liewer asom by Nuweland of Ellispark elke Saterdag te wees.

Next the sombre cabin dawned red in the revealing raysand its desolate cavity bloomed into colour with bright levers and dappled artistry where active dials once rested. The engine glowed a gloss bright green over the stark iron wheels. and embedded in the turf as the first children came. They sprinted. racing to the waking train with screaming wild delight. and splashedagainst the sides. a wave of imagination. They clambered on and gripped the controls with magic hands. From make-believe there flowered silvered tracks beneath the cankered wheels.The engine lurched. hot with rekindled fire and an adrenalin rush of steam as the stack belched into life.

Instead. the hulking masswas riddled with a gout of rust. its frozen joints welded into motionlessness by the disease of neglect. The furnace was a cold dark hollow deep in the bowels of the cast iron engine.and the smoke stack rose up from the front bleakly and in vain. like an old man's pipe. extinguished and empty and cracked with age. The drivers cabin hulked behind the engine. a torpid guard on an interminable. uselessvigil.

DIT was bitter koud. Ek het gesellig in my warm tent gelê en boontoe gekyk. Die tent se kante het beweeg asof dit asemhaal. Ek hoor die gesuis van die wind om my en naby my kan ek die klein stroompie duidelik hoor kabbel soos dit na die groen. nat vallei vloei. Ek het besluit om douvoordag te begin: anders sou ek nie die oomagplek bereik nie. Onmiddellik toe ek opgestaan het. het die koue my gegryp - ysige koue. Ek het blitsvinnig my klere aangetrek en, met die een oog op die horlosie. het ek my ontbyt geëet Dit was halfvyf. Die warm son het die donker, koue more met sy goue glimlag weggejaag en sy sonstrale het soossjampanje oor die sneeubedekte berge geglinster. Langsdie sypaadjie was 'n verskeidenheid van pragtige veldblommetjies. Hier en daar was 'n hasie en 'n paar skoenlappers. Dan het ek die oornagplek gesien - dit was 'n hartverblydende gesig.

this situation. Where was I to turn to as these vicIous insects drew nearer? Stumbling into the thicket. I made my way towards the caveswith their beckoning entrances. The terrible thorn bushes tore at my skin. All the time the wasps were drawing closer. Finally. reaching the entrance of the cavewith wasps buzzing about me. my eyes began to water and sting. There was a foul smell in the air: the toxic fumes that the potholers had warned me about. Knowing I had no choice. I covered my eyesand dashed into the cave.To me this must be the end. The wasps followed me. Suddenly there was a silence and everything was quiet. The buzzing had stopped. Knowing I could no longer hold my breath. I ran outside. Gasping for air. I looked around me and saw millions of wasps lying helplesslyon the ground. Their wings had shrivelled up from the fumes which meant they could no longer fly. They lay baking in the hot sun. My ordeal was over.

SHOULD CELEBRITIES

BE EMULATED?

DO celebrities. be they sportsmen and women or pop idols. realise the vastness of their field of influence on the youth of today? Are they using their influence to good effect or are they abusing it? Evenif you are not an avid sportsman. I am sure that you will have noticed the various forms of bad conduct constanUy occurring in sport. When. for example. John MacEnroe losesa point on court and he disagreeswith the ruling. he throws a tantrum. swearing violenUy at the crowd and umpire and sometimes mutilating his tennis racket During the Australian cricket tour (1986f7) both Clive Rice. the Springbok captain. and Kim Hughes. the Australian captain. regularly contradicted the umpires' decisions. We often see fights breaking out in rugby games and the crowds cheer for more. What effect does all this have on our youth? Our youth get the impression that this is how the game is played. That to be good at sport means being able to start a fight or make an umpire look a total fool. lf their heroes are doing it. it cannot be wrong. SOnow. not only are our youth perpetuating the playing techniques of their heroes. they are also perpetrating their manners on the field of play. This can only lead to the total annihilation of sportsmanship. The people who havethe most influence in the life of our youth today are the idols of the musical world. These are the men and women who set the trends. It is their example that many of our youth follow. How many of them set a good example? Not many. They. in fact consciously abuse their influence. Queen - for example - is proclaimed to be one of the most popular musical groups in the world. They haveopenly declared their religion as Satanism. Many of their records have Satanic backtracks carefully woven into them. Yet the

THE dark cloud that hung over the earth was an awful sight. The plague of killer wasps swirled towards us. the deafening drone of their beating wings was chilling. My first thought was to run for cover in the nearby Maluti Mountains where I knew where there were some caves.After running ten metres I slowed to a walk as I thought the oncoming wasps would be attracted to my movements of panic.ln these moments of fear. my thoughts drifted from feeling it was the end. to a more positive attitude towards my escapefrom

more they do these things. the more the world loves them. wants them. Look at Madonna. She abuses the God-given joy of sex. using it to sell her records. During concerts or on her promotion videos. she wears clothes purely designed to make her the sex symbol of the 80'5. How can this be enriching to our youth? At a Thompson Twins concert in England. a large number of youths died of heroin overdoses. How many youths' lives has Boy George destroyed? Why do these pop idols not think of their loyal followers who are influenced by their every move? Before we look at our youth and ask what went wrong. we should look at their idols who set the trends. andjudge the idols, not the youth.

DE WAAL HOUSE C Psomas is to be congratulated on winning all of his sections in the inter-house shooting tournament this year.

Whil~ De Waal house has had no occasion this year to celebrate any academic or sporting victories. we have nevertheless. maintained our proud tradition of enthusiasm and motivation. We participated with great exuberance in the annual inter-house Athletics Day and our cheerleaders. aptly dressed as Vikings. ensured exceptional house spirit throughout the day. Our outstanding athletes were I Harris and 0 Malan who broke records and A Badenhorst. 5 Knipe. G Reynecke. R Ventura and 0 James who won their events. We finally came 3rd. The inter-house gala and water polo competition saw De Waal partaking with enthusiasm and sportmanship. but unfortunately without much success. In the inter-house cricket. De Waal. led by J P Loxton. played exceptionally well against difficult opponents and at the end of the day. we were placed 4th. J Bradley captained the De Waal hockey team who played hard. but ended up coming 5th. B Blythe and C Whitehead played excellent golf and ensured a 2nd place for De Waal. J van Oordt and J Parkins represented De Waal in the inter-house squash tournament and were placed 3rd. H Venner led the badminton team who came 5th after playing against very strong opposition.

"Alivah". a modern adaptation of the Dickens' classic. provided us with a chance to extend our enthusiasm into the more cultural aspects of our education. Directed by J Bradley and 5 Hoare. our juniors showed excellent acting ability. In the One-Act Play Festival. De Waal was placed 3rd. J Bradley. C Whitehead. A Bradley. M Heydenrych and M Fall did exceptionally well and came 2nd in the inter-house chess competition. A Davis and J Bradley came 2nd in the inter-house debate. Academically we have mantained a steady 3rd place throughout this year. The 1987 Committee started off with great ideas, but unfortunately the spark of enthusiasm soon dimmed in several of the members and this led to poorlyprepared and less interesting house meetings. However, A Hammond and J Bradley need special mention and thanks for their constant help and unfailig loyalty. We wish the 1988 Committee and all members of De Waal house a successful and happy year. A.M.

ACADEMIC: This was the area in which Rhodesachieved most this year. We managed to stay at the top academically throughout the year.

LlTILEWOOD HOUSE The Littlewood men of 1987 are once again a team to be reckoned with. The boarders have dóne well in all spheres of school life and brought recognition to the house. One of the aims of Littlewood this year is to win the Friedlander Shield and. with our determination. we have a good chance of doing so. In the Inter-House Competitions. Littlewood started off near the back in the points situation. but after some good results in a number of fields. we have narrowed the points gap. Some of the sports in which we did well were: Squash- 1st place:Shooting - 1st place:Tennis - 1st place: Water Polo - 2nd place: Cross-Country - 2nd place. Littlewood has come 2nd every term so far in academicwork. which is a fine achievement. The Inter-House plays this year were of a high standard and our congratulations must go to Richard Penn for producing and directing the Littlewood play. In concluding. there are a number of people we would like to thank for making 1987 an enjoyableyear for Littlewood: Mr Algie. our Superintendent: our hostel masters. Messrs Paterson. Peterson. Faiers and RusselI:our non-resident masters. Messrs Greenwood and Kriel: our Matrons. Sister de Klerk. Matron Roodt and Mrs Algie for all their work: and our spiritual adviser. Jock Schoeman.

CULTURAL: Rhodes House proved to be very successful in the cultural sphere. We achieved first places in Chessand in the General Knowledge Quiz. However. we did not maintain this·standard in the One-Act Play Festivaland in Debating. Rhodes has had a very average year. notching up both notable successes and some disappointments. However. with our strong up-and-comingjunior sector. RhodesHouse can look forward to a very promising future. R.A.

VAN RIEBEECK HOUSE Master-in-Charge: Mr K Pretorius House Captain: B Spolander Committee: A van Wyk. S Oldroyd. A Holdstock. P Slate and B O'Connell The Inter-House Competition got off to a very good start with Sports Day. Here we were narrowly beaten into second place by Wellington. Some outstanding performances were achieved by B O·Neill. C Bent. D Horne. N Eddy and C Smith. This built up a fair amount of house spirit that was maintained for most of the year. In the Inter-House Gala Van Riebeeckstarted off as the underdogs. Owing to very good turnouts at eliminations and a lot of spirit. we ended up coming a close second to Wellington once again. C Smith and R Godfrey did very well here. C Smith captained the senior water polo side and W Spolander the junior side. We managed to achieve a third placeoverall in this section. With the arrival of winter came the Inter-House Cross-Country relay and the mass race. In the relay teams. CSmith and BO'Neill excelled.B O'Neili also succeededin coming first in thejunior mass race in which we achieved a third place overall. In the Inter-House hockey the senior side. although lacking talent played courageously in achieving 4th place. while the junior side (captained by A Carter) played very well and came first in their section. Unfortunately the Inter-House rugby was cancelledand so our very strong senior side could not display its potential. B O'Conneliled the squash team to ajoint first place with Littlewood and R Williams led our badminton side to a first place. The tennis team captained by j Greenacretied for third placewith Wellington. C Smith and his golf team did very well in achieving first place.

RHODES HOUSE SPORT:

Although a number of our athletes excelled on Sports Day. Rhodes only managed to achieve 4th placeat this annual meeting.

Athletics:

Steven Newton's cricket side managedto gain a 3rd place in the Inter-House cricket. Cricket:

Hockey: Graeme Wilson and Steven Newton. backed by a capable Rhodes hockey side. excelled and we won the Inter-House hockey competition without losing a game.

This was probably the biggest disappointment this year for Rhodes. Although our strong junior side managed to keep us in the leadthroughout the gala. the final events cost us the gala and we ended up in 3rd place. Swimming:

Rowing: Warren Fish led a powerful Rhodes crew to win the Inter-House rowing.

Other spt'rt results were: Badminton - 2nd: CrossCountry - 4th: Squash- 4th: Water Polo - 5th: Golf3rd: and Shooting - 4th.

as did the cricket side captained by A Holdstock (they annihilated their opposition). We also achieveda third place in both the rowing and the shooting sections to come first overall in the sports arena. In the cultural arena. we are lying a close second to Wellington with only the cadet drill squadsstill to compete. The debating team of G Lundy and N Eddy did very well in achieving second place (beaten by Wellington by one pointi). N Eddy (Director) and his actors can really congratulate themselves (B O·Neili. T Murray. C McGregor. R Robson.C Dorrington and J Haupt) on their play. "The Wizard of Oz". which achievedfirst place alongside Wellington. The Bridge team (B Spolander. G Treadaway. W Spolander and S Ferguson) also did weil in comingjoint first with Littlewood. The Chessteam under R Harvey came fifth. Unfortunately the other two arenas. Service and Academic. have been our downfall. In the Service section. we obtained the lowest number of points. but points for the supporters card still have to be calculated. We also have the undistinguished reputation of managing to come last academically in all three terms. Although we havesome of the top students in the standards (N Eddy. B Spolander. G Treadaway. B O·Neili. D Askew and D Ollis). little has been achieved by the rest of the house. Nevertheless. I believe the house has had a good year. although the overall position might not indicate it Specialthanks must be given to Mr Pretorius for all the work he hasdone and to all the house members for the enthusiasm they have shown.

WELLINGTON HOUSE Housemaster: Mr M Rushby Teachers: Messrs L Moser. T Noot. J van Rooyen. D Bromberger. C Luman. Miss N Jackson. C Murcott. B Botha. B Creed. House Captain:J Rowberry Deputy House captain: S Heathcote-Marks During the year Wellington House said goodbye to Miss Jackson.who hasleft the teaching profession. and welcomed Mr Murcott in her place.At the beginning of 1987. Wellington was pleasedto welcome back into its ranks and old "Wellingtonian". Mr Luman. who has joined the staff. John ROwberry has proved to be a charismatic and enthusiastic house-captain and he has had the support of his house. He has been very ably assisted by Sean Heathcote-Marks. The highlights of the year were undoubtedly winning the Athletics Day. the Swimming Gala and the Inter-House Play Festival. We also came first in the Water Polo. Debating (Mark Leach and Sean Heathcote-Marks) and Cross-Country. At the time of writing this report. the final house positions are not known. However. Wellington is up there with the leaders. An area that has let us down badly this year has been academic work. as we have been placed 4th in this category for two consecutive terms. The Inter-House competition has been good this year and I would like to thank the other four housemasters for their "friendly rivalry" during 1987.

SCHOOL SPORT ATHLETICS The 1986/1987 athletic seasonmust havebeenone of the most successful yet experienced at Wynberg. The season started with the Peninsula Schools Trials at Green Point which resulted in our school having one of the largest contingents in the Peninsula team participating at the Inter-District meeting at Moorreesburg. The day at Moorreesburg turned out to be very long and extremely hot with few good performances. The following weekend. the Wynberg team formed part of 34 teams and 1 200 athletes at the Annual Inter - High School meeting at Stellenbosch. We surprised everybody with a 3rd place. beating prominent schools like Paul Roos and Rondebosch Boys' High. After this meeting. which also served asWP Trials. two of our athletes. Robert Vaughan and Mark von Bentheim broke the long drought by being chosen to represent W.P. Our own annual Spring Invitation Meeting was a big success with our athletes featuring prominently in many events. From this meeting. athletes like John Price.Sean Kotthoff. Ian Harris. Clayton Prins and Adri Badenhorst showed a lot of promise for 1987. The annual Quadrangular Relay Meeting was held at Bishops at the end of the 4th term and the final placings were: 1 st: Bishops 2nd: W.B.H.S. 3rd: R.B.H.s. 4th: S.A.C.S. Our 1987 Std 6's have produced a few athletes who will maintain our athletic tradition. David Askew (sprints); Gavin Pfister (throws); Wade van Eyssen (middle distance); zak Sawyer (middle distance); and Leslie Wylie (hurdles) show promise of establishing records in years to come.

J Price hurdling

The athletics team started the season with a very successfultour to Oudtshoorn where Robert Vaughan. Robert Adshade and Hamish Scott fared particularly well. Just before Sports Day. the team dominated the annual meeting involving Bishops. St Josephs. Oude Molen and Wynberg. After this. Sports Daywas at hand. This day. won by Wellington by 2 points from Van Riebeeck.produced a remarkable 17 records. lt was also our first Sports Day without the Junior School.Although this long-standing tradition has.sadly. come to an end. it has worked for the best as far as both schools are concerned. At the PeninsulaSchoolsChampionships.which was also an inter-schools event. we finished second behind R.B.H.S. On the day. Clayton Prins. Grant Pureveen. Patrick Gildenhuysand Kurt Wohlenburg did us proud. At the 3rd Triangular Meeting. we combined teams with Wynberg Girls' High for the second year. This meeting at Green Point was a great successwith the Wynberg schools sweeping the board. The fOllowing trophies were won: Boys Trophy. Best Performance. Relay Cup and the False Bay Shield. Good performanceswere recorded from Clayton Prins (3 records); Grant Lewis. Brendon O·Niell. Royston Postigs. Andrew Kets. Grant Stevensand Mark Pfister. At the last meeting of the season.the SASOLInterSchoais. W.B.H.S. finished fifth. This is the best achievement by an English medium school for many years.

C Bent goes overthe bar

Spri nt fi nish Our athletes excelled at the W.P. Championships and the following did well: Gavin Pfister (U-13 Shot Put. 1st): Clayton Prins (U-14 400 m, 2nd): Adri Badenhorst (U15 400 m, 4th): Kurt Wohlenburg (U14 Shot Put. 1st): Patrick Gildenhuys (U-14 Shot Put. 2nd): and Brendon O'Neill (U-14 1500 m, 1st). Although we will be losing such a large group of

senior athletes, I am sure our coaches, Miss B Fassler. Mr B Botha, Mr C Luman, Mr P Kriel, Mr M Moore and Mr T O'Reilly, will still produce athletes who will keep our athletic tradition at its present high standard. I wish to express my appreciation to them for all their efforts.

The first team has beaten all their opponents this year. The other teams have shown good progress. My thanks to Mr P Louw and Mrs 5andyforth for helping with practices and matches. and to Mr Meyer and Miss Ellis for taking players to matcheson Fridays.

R Williams: SA Under 18 Singles Badminton Champion

Wynberg Boy's Badminton

Feat

Next. a notable badminton feat by a 17-year-old Wynberg Boys' High standard nine pupil. Robert Williams. who hasjust won the South African under 18 singles title in Benoni though unseeded and given no chance. He played six matches. did not drop a set. and after eliminating the No. 2 seed. Jason Clark. defeated last year's winner and No. 1 seed. Neëls Meiring of the Vaal Club. 15 - 9. 1511 in the final. Robert. who lives in Tokai. came to Cape Town from Johannesburg where he took up badminton about six years ago and was coached by Ann Parsons. wife of Springbok. Alan. Locally. hejoined the strong Clyde club where has benefited from the coaching of Sharon Dunt and Chris Merrington plus the odd tip from Sprigbok Alan Phillips. In addition to the under 18 championship trophy. Robert was awarded a cup for showing the best sportsmanship. He was graded NO.land selected for a South African Junior side to play in Durban. In Benoni. apart from individual provincial games. he also found the energy to play in the under 21 championship section! Robert's stamina was an eye-opener. considering that. since last November. he has suffered from Scheurmanns. a process which affects the growing points of the spine and can be painful. He also plays cricket. but has been medically advised to give up a contact sport like soccer; he played (centre-back) for Mondeor Meteors in Johannesburg and for Fish Hoek under 16 locally.

CRICKET (1986/87) One of the philosophies of sport at W.B.H.s. is that all boys should be encouraged to play team sports in which they will learn to play the game in the correct manner. to make friends and to enjoy the sport. I am happy to report that cricket-playing at Wynberg in 1987 has been doingjust that. Fifteen sides have been entered in the leagues and all teams have acquitted themselves well. Particular mention must be made of the U 14B and C teams who performed most creditably in the first term. Our sincere thanks for the 1987 season must go to Mr Payne and his ground stafffor. as always. producing first rate wickets and facilities for our cricketers. After the Mobil XI game in 1986. the Cape Times reported us as having the finest cricket wicket in Cape Town. Full credit to our groundstaff1 Parents are an essential part of successful school sport - whether it is with catering. transport or encouragement. Their presence is valued and appreciated. 1987 saw the arrival of Mr Russel (3rd team) and Mr Faires (U 150) to our coaching team. We welcome

them and thank them for fitting in so effectively and efficiently. My thanks go to all the coaches who spend so many (often frustrating) hours coaching. cajoling and adjudicating. They do it willinglyand enthusiastically. Wynberg boys are lucky to have them. It is pleasing to see that so many boys are playing cricket. It is a game which teaches so many lessons both in the nets and in the middle. The friends made in cricket are life-long ones and I am convinced that boys who have played this game are richer for these experiences. May the cricket field and nets at W.B.H.S. remain overflowing and may this generation of Wynberg boys continue to love what C.B. Fry. a past English Captain. once called 'our beautiful. difficult. summer game.' Martin Stovold leaves us It was during the coldest and wettest part of the 1979 English winter when I. a student at Exeter University. was asked by Martin Stovold. (then a young Gloucester professional) whether I could find him ajob in South Africa. I contacted a member of the Wynberg School Committee. Mr Henry Cawood. and Martin was appointed on a one-year contract. It says much of Martin Stovold that the one-year has now stretched to eight and it was at the end of the first term this year that he opted to return permanently to those gloomy Northern winters. He has accepted a post at Cheltenham College. An entire generation of Wynberg cricketers have now passed through Martin's hands. and his handiwork is evident in League cricket in Cape Town today. Old boys will remember him for his enthusiasm. knowledge. dedication and loyalty. Of course there are many words to describe his contribution to Wynberg. but I have chosen one in particular - his interest in everyone he coached. Anyone who loved the game as much as he did. found a ready and helpful hand from him. From junior player to the 1st XI star. they all received equal attention and were taught to play the fame 'Stov's' way. There was no room in his cricket bag for anything underhand. mean or half-hearted. For him. there were no short cuts to instant glory. Martin Stovold's legacy is the Wynberg cricket of today - a school which can hold its head proudly with any other cricketing school in the country. He has also donated a trophy. the Stovold Cup for Fielding. which will be awarded for the first time this year. To Martin and his wife Di. the Wynberg community wishes you Bon Voyage and the best of luck in your new career. Awards. 1986 A cricket dinner for the 1st XI was held at Silverhurst at the end of the 4th term. Mr Bob Woolmer (Kent and England). was our guest speaker and he presented the following awards:

Bing Cup for Sportsmanship: Paddy Upton Power Cup for Batting: Paddy Upton. Gary Byrne (shared) Upton Cup for Bowling: Adrian Holdstock Bridgens Cup for Most Improved Player: Bruce Sharp

in a 2-innings match which ended in the last over of the day at approximately 6.45 p.m. - both schools having enjoyed the game and played in the right way. The Mobil XI gave the boys the opportunity to experience a new bail opening attack of Le Roux and Jefferies who were getting valuable practice (21 overs between them). As one would imagine. runs were difficult to obtain but G Byrne and A Symmonds proved that determination and a sound technique can make occupation of the crease an essential part of batting. A Holdstock and W Freimond again proved to be a very effective opening attack. with good support from the much-improved B Sharp an R Smit. W Freimond's final spelI of 6 for 24 against Rondebosch resulted in an excellent victory while defending a meagre 97 runs.

In addition. the following sports awards were made at a school assembly: Honours: Paddy Upton. Gary Byrne Blues:Adrian Holdstock (re-award) Colours: Wayne Freimond (Re-award). JP Loxton. Jacques Marais. Brett Blyth. Stephen Newton. 5/50 Club Prize for Batting: Paddy Upton 5/50 Club Prize for Bowling: Adrian Holdstock

K.C.R. 1ST XI CRICKET

Results vs Plumstead:

The 1st XI finished the 1986 season on a successful note. A large factor in the successof this side was the leadership of Paddy Upton and the support of Gary Byrne. As captain and vice--captain.they were an example to all the younger players and future leaders of the side. Positive cricket was again the theme of the term and this was highlighted by a fine game against Plumstead

1st Term 1987: This was a satisfactory term of cricket with moments of both excellent and poor cricket. The side is very capable and only lost 4 players from the previous season. With a lot of hard work Iam sure this team can emulate the team of 85/86. The side is very well balanced with A Holdstock as captain and S Newton as vice-captain and is able to call on pace. seam. spin and at least 8 specialist batters (Rodney Smit would say eleven!) The biggest problem this term was our inability to occupy the crease for long periods of time and build an innings. As a result. the bowlers were always having to work hard to win games. Nevertheless. there were exciting tussles with Plumstead. Bishops. S.A.CS. and Rondebosch.

2ND XI CRICKET The second team had good wins over St Joseph's first team. Plumstead and Bergvliet. They narrowly beat SACS and lost to Herzlia first team. Bishops 2nd team and Bishops 3rd team. The team was captained by Stephen Oldroyd and the following boys represented the team at least once: Brink. Cowen. Cole. Withers. Kets. Oldroyd. Rogers. Holloway. Rowberry. Gordon. Le Roux. van Oordt. O·Conneli. Pentz. De Meuter. Treadaway. Johnson and Ferguson. While all the bowlers were capable of worrying opposing batsmen. none of them. apart from Simon Rogers. was able to bowl a good line and length consistently. Four good balls in an over would invariably be followed by a long hop.and a full toss. On his day. Gavin Gordon proved to be a dangerous strike bowler and he ended the term with 18 wickets. John Rowberry bowled reasonably well without much luck and Duncan Le Roux could develop into a good leg-spinner if he works at his game. Glen Treadaway returned the best figures of 5 wickets for 7 runs against Bergvliet. Even against mediocre bowling attacks. the toporder batsmen scored slowly. thus putting pressure on themselves and the rest of the team. No batsman consistently scored runs.

Results: vs Fish Hoek (at Newlands): Wynberg 160 for 3 (J P Loxton 82: A Holdstock 35 n.o.) Fish Hoek 114 all out (A Holdstock 3 for 31: R Smit 6 for 25) Wynberg won by 46 runs. vs Fish Hoek: Wynberg 102 all out (A Holdstock 45) Fish Hoek 85 all out (A. Holdstock 6 for 21 ) Wynberg won by 17 runs.

vs Rondebosch: Wynberg 212'for

9 (M Kros 41: B Sharp 50 n.o.)

The fielding was only adequate and this is an area which requires a great deal of work. Lapses in concentration in the field were commonplace and poor fielding gave away many runs to the opposition. To sum up. the second team needs to work extremely hard at all three aspects of the game in order to make the transformation from a mediocre team to a good team.

B Blyth: Good off-spin bowler. Lost some confidence. but that will return. Tendency to bowl one bad ball an over through dropping head and shoulder. Much improved batsman and very stylish - sometimes too stylish! Very keen and valuable member of the side. R Cole:

Slow. left-arm spinner. Must work hard at consistency. Very capable and talented. Batting was disappointing. Must work hard on going either forward or back. Must not simply play from the crease.

MR A Holdstock

(Captain):

Fine all-rounder. Potential match-winner. Must set personal standards higher at practice. Leads byexample. but must try to improve the handling of individuals. Still needs to improve back foot when batting and the follow-through when bowling. The game gets harder from now on Adrian and I look forward to your progress within it Good luck!

RSmit: Most improved bowler and cricketer. Worked hard at swinging the ball. Has a smooth run-up. Should take many wickets. Batting still needs work but. typical of all bowlers. Rodney enjoys his (brief) bat Catching is good in the deep. S de Meuter:

S Newton (Vice-Captain): Loves the game and. as a result. will get a lot out of it. Still to produce the runs he is capable of. Class player when in form and confident Vulnerable early on but must learn to ignore minor setbacks. Enthusiastic and valuable cricketer.

Good. solid opening batsman. Capable of runs and is prepared to build an innings. Must overcome shuffling in front of stumps. Either get right forward or right back! M Kros: Attacking batsman who likes to strike the ball. Particularly strong when short and outside off. Has improved on leg stump and now plays much straighter. Good middle-order batsman to have after a good start. Tendency to give wicket away. Good fielder but must be sharper on run-out chances when fielding in a key position.

JP Loxton: Senior batter who should have scored more runs this term. I'm sorry I will not see his first '100' - but it will come soon. Must work hard on concentration to prevent giving his wicket away. Vulnerable when cutting ball too close to the body. Good wicketkeeper. Has worked hard to improve.

PCowen: New member to the side. Good batsman. Must work hard to use more top hand and not play across bali on leg stump. Capable and will produce runs for the 1st XI.

ASymmonds: Sound performer who always does his best. Plays pace better than spin and watches the ball well. Good concentration. Tendency to move front foot too early and across too far. He will develop into a good all rounder. Keep working at the bowling! More back and high front arm needed.

J Da Costa: Injured most of this term but effective batsman. Must work hard against pace to ensure he hits into line. Capable of taking any spin or pace attack apart with strong aggressive. controlled hitting - not slogging.

A Wylie: Excellent temperament with a cricket-thinking brain. With hard work. he will develop into a fine player. Good off-spinner who needs to push right foot through more and follow through. Sound battsman. must work on backward defensive. Runs will flow as strength develops.

My best wishes to all these boys in the 4th term and cricketing boys at Wynberg. I look forward to hearing ofyour future success and achievements. Finally. a big thankyou to the W.B.J.S. and W.B.HS Committee. Headmasters. Staff. Parents and Boys. They say "home is where the heart is" and I certainly feel that Wynberg and Cape Town have been my home.

B Sharp: Disappointting term with the ball. But wickets will return. Very unorthodox action and follow-through. but effective. Must try not to get carried away with pace - that will come. Good fielder. Valuable batsman who has scored runs and will score many more. Just needs to give more thought to game situations.

Martin Stovold 3RD XI CRICKET The team enjoyed mixed fortunes during the season. The highlight of the term was our match against

Bergvliet 2nd XI. With 30 runs needed to win at the fall of our ninth wicket. credit must go to Fante and Van Eyssen who managed to reach the target in fading light! Generally. our batting was disappointing with the top order often throwing their wickets away unnecessarily and putting the pressure on the lower order to reach a satisfactory total. Even at this level. the players must realise that not every ball is playable. On a more positive note. the fielding was of an exceptionally high standard with some outstanding catches being taken in the out field as well as some fine run-outs! Our bowling was good at times. but there still is that tendency to bowl too fast with the result that accuracy is being lost. However. I believe there is a lot of talent in the side. and with steady application. many players should achieve much in the game. Finally. mention must be made of the captain. Alexander. who did a finejob during the term. Results: vs Bishops 4th XI: Wynberg 146 (O'Connel 136; Treadaway 22; Alexander

22) Bishops 120/10 (Van Dordt 4/22) Wynberg won by 26 runs. vs Norman Henshilwood 1st XI: Norman Henshilwood 89 all out (Van Oordt 3/17) Wynberg 64 for 6 wickets (Privett 31 n.o.) Match drawn.

4TH XI CRICKET The 4th team had a relatively successful season. winning 3 of the 5 matches played. The season began on a high note with a victory over SACS by 31 runs. Other good victories were scored against Plumstead (8 wickets) and Oude Molen (150 runs). Unfortunately we lost to Voortrekker and Rondebosch. Regular members of the 4th team were S. Lee; G. Newmark; D. Horne; R. Williams: R. Hawkins: G. Kalt; C. Whitehead: M. Davies: M. Drew and A. Mazzullo. A few highlights of the season were G. Newmark's 6/23 against SACS. D. Horne's 99 against Oude Molen and R. William's 86 against Oude Molen. In general. the 4th team were well-equipped in all departments. In the bowling department. we boasted a fast penetrating opening attack of S. Lee and M. Davies. which was well supported by the spinners G. Newmark and C. Whitehead. The fielders were always keen to prevent runs from being scored and few catches were dropped. The top batsmen were always amongst the runs and they were well backed-up by the tailenders. Unfortunately our middle order batting was a little weak and this led to our downfall against Voortrekker. Practices were always enthusiastically attended and the spirit of the team was good. Finally. I would like to thank Mr Louw for his efforts and all those parents who supported the 4th·s throughout the season.

A highlight of the term was our convincing victory over the very strong Rondebosch team by six wickets. The team developed very weil over the year and were certainly as good as any U 15 team in Cape Town by the end of the season.

1987 1ST TERM. The 1987 team has proved to be very competent with a good seam attack. keen fielding and adequate batting.

The Under 15B cricket team had a fair season. They played 6 matches. won 3. lost 2 and drew 1. The opening match. deservedly won by Bishops with the second last ball of the match. exposed many of our batsmen's weaknesses against fast bowling. Although this weakness was repeated against Rondebosch. the batsmen soon learned to get in line with the ball. and the batting performances improved. Another weakness of the team was the number of dropped catches and runs given away in the field. This aspect of their game. too. improved during the course of the season. On the positive side. the team was weil led by Douglas Bain and his deputy. Stephen Hanssen. Grant Clark put in a number of fine allround performances. Douglas Bain bowled a tidy line throughout the season. Shane Butler and Stephen Hanssen impressed with the bat while Philip de Nier always kept wicket very tidily. Players who improved with each outing were Kyle Sproates. Paul Johnson and Craig van Zyl. The following players represented the school in the Under 15B team: Dougas Bain (Captain): Stephen Hanssen (Vice-captain); Grant Clark: Adam Veysey; Paul Johnson; Shane Butler; Philip de Nier: Kyle Sproates: Dean Scorey; John Webber: Craig van Zyl; Miles Worling: Chris Leipold: Charles Bent and Andre Gaylard.

UNDER 1SC CRICKET

The under 15C Cricket team had a reasonably good season. with three wins. two defeats. one draw and one match washed out by rain. The side was captained very successfullyby Euvrard who set a wonderful example especially in his fielding. The results of several gameswere directJyattributable to catcheswell held by the captain and others. The bowlers who contributed most were Oickson and Leipold. while Worling. Kaufmann and Allardice also did their fair share. In the batting few players shone but Merris and Worling stood out above the others. Merris was also a very dependablewicketkeeper and shortened the stays of several enemy batsmen at the wicket. To improve their performance. team members should concentrate on stepping out to the good ball. punishing the bad ball and backing up in running between the wickets. They havethe keennessto go far in the game of cricket O.B.

UNDER 14A CRICKET 4th Term, 1986:

This was a side brimming with talent andwith an excellent first-term record. However. the players did not apply themselvesto their game during the fourth term. Batsmenseldom concentrated long enough and tended to throwaway their wickets too often. of the batsmen. Campbell had the most successand worked the hardest throughout the season. The bowling attack was formidable with four good seamersto call upon. Bowditch was by far the quickest.. but neither he nor Carter could repeat the successof the first term. Malan developed into the most consistent seamer and could always be relied on for a breakthrough. Martyn. who joined Wynberg at the beginning of the fourth term. improved asa left -arm seamer as the season progressed. turning in some of his best performances at the end of the year. No doubt the lack of a genuinely good spinner was a factor in the side's mediocre performances. but I have no doubt that this team. on paper. is one of the strongest in the Peninsulaand should do much better nextyear. The following boys represented the side during the 4th term: CTurvey (Captain): 96 runs - 16.0 ave. 5 lavery (wicketkeeper)

UNDER 1SD CRICKET

Twenty-one cricketers turned up for practice twice a week and. from these. a team. captained by Wayne Webner. was fielded. Our cricket got off to a good start with a victory in our first match. For the rest of the season. however. we were not as successful.

last two matches provided some sparkling batting and both Gibbon and Truter were unlucky not to reach their respective centuries. Gibbon and Askew shared the captaincy and learned much from each match. Sharp. Askew and Chesters used the new ball well. and the side was blessed with both a left-arm and a conventional off-spinner in Hutton and van Eyssen respectively. The only blemish on the side's record is the match against Bishops. but the weather was more to blame than anything else. We were put in to bat on an incredibly wet pitch and were lucky to reach 90. By the time our opponents arrived at the crease after lunch. the summer sun had dried both the pitch and the field considerably. Boys who played for the side were:

UNDER 14C CRICKET The season began with a ten·wicket victol)' over Fairbairn. after the home side had been dismissed for a mere three runs. This result naturally made mini-headlines in all the local newspapers - not a bad start for an under 14C team! This set the scene for an extremely successful season. Only in the last match of the season. against SAC.S .. were they beaten in a thrilling match. The strength of the team lay in the bowling attackthe highest score against the team was 87 runs by Rondebosch. The name of Mark Wallis must be singled out in this regard for a number of outstanding bowling performances. Against Fairbairn he took 5 wickets for 3 runs. and against Plumstead he took 7 wickets for 8 runs. The batting was. however. vel)' brittle and often the runs came vel)' slowly. In this regard it must also be said that "the tail often wagged vel)' effectively" and rescued the team from some potentially embarrassing batting collapses.

The under 140 cricket team this year consisted of Std 6's and Std 7's. They won five out of their seven matches and were beaten twice. The first three games resulted in our losing three good cricketers and the captaincy changing three times. The most promising batsman was C Martinsen who scored our highest total in one match. 65 runs not out. He scored 119 runs in our seven matches. Martinsen was also our main bowler taking eleven wickets in the seven games. Scott. a promising batsman. bowler and captain. lead by example. He took ten wickets injust three games and was then promoted to the C team and C Dorrington became captain. Hopefully. we shall not lose any further players in the fourth term in which case our statistics will improve.

CROSS-COUNTRY

RUNNING

Although it was a very quiet season with regard to tours. it was a very successful season if results are taken as a measure. The season started with the Charles Savage Relay race held at Wynberg. For the first time there were three age groups. Under 15. Under 17 and Under 19. We won both the Under 15 and Under 19 divisions. and in the Under 17 race we were narrowly beaten by Rondebosch. This seemed to be the pattern for the rest of the season in the Peninsula Schools League. Although doing well throughout the season. and winning the Under 15A. Under 15B. Under 17B. Under 19A and Under 19B Leagues. wejust could not manage to make a clean sweep. Rondebosch beat us by 1 point in the Under 17 A League to put us in the second place. The Under 15 team (Grant Lewis.

defended their Western Province Schools Cross-Country title and at the end of the season. the Under 15 team (Grant Lewis. Brendon O·Neill. Shayne Butler. Michael Klibbe) repeated last year's performance by finishing first at the Western Province Championships. At the beginning of the season and Grant Lewis and Brendon O·Neill. (Under 15A). Sean Kotthoffand David Vaughan (Under 17B). were chosen to represent Western Province at the Inter-Provincial meeting at George. At the end of the season. Grant Lewis. Brendon O'Niell (Under 15A) once again made the Western Province team with Robert Vaughan (Under 19) as the captain of the team. Throughout the sea?On. it was good to see h~w the athlete:; improved under the careful. planned gUidance of Mr Michael Moore. Many promising newathletes were also discovered (Duncan Mills. Karl Westvig. Wade van Eyssen) and they should be able to maintain the school's proud Cross-Country tradition next year. With seniors like Sean Kotthoff. Karl Westvig. Kevin Laithwaite. John McCullough. Clive Hall andjuniors like Grant Lewis. Brendon O·Neill. Shayne Butler. Michael KJibbe. Wade van Eyssen. Zac Sawyer and lan Clampett still available nextyear. 1988 promises to be an equally good season. As I will be taking a break from cross-country coaching. I wish all the athletes successful seasons in the future and I thank Messrs O'Reilly and Moore and the parents for their tremendous support this year.

GOLF We are fortunate at Wynberg to have many boys who can afford to play golf and as a resut we must rate amongst the top golfing schools in the Peninsula. The first and second teams did not. however. perform to their full potential this season. A total of four matches were lost by the first team this year - all against excellent scores by the opposition. With much of the emphasis on team sport. however. golf often takes a back seat in boys' lives as far as practice is concerned. As a result they may end up playing only Friday afternoon matches. This lack of practice adversely affects their scores. Craig Smith's name comes to mind in this regard. which is unfortunate. because he has the ability to become a top golfer. However. I believe golf should be a game of enjoyment and a time of meeting new people. In this respect. the sport succeeded in its aims in 1987. At the end of this year we will be losing only one matric player from the first team and so we are looking at a potentially good year in 1988.

The school had difficulty in coping with this large number of teams in two areas. namely. playing facilities and coaches. The school is extremely grateful to Constantia Hockey Club and Defence Sports Club for making their facilities avail.able to us. We were also extremely lucky to be able to make use of 6 University students who all did an excellentjob in the coaching field.

The first team played well enough in every game with the exception of the first game against Rondebosch. Towards the end of the season. especially. the team played extremely attracttve hockey. but poor finishing saw the team lose and draw games they could easily have won. The poor short-corner success record (approximately 10%) did not help in this regard. A match that comes to mind is the second Rondebosch game. where five clear-cut scoring chances were created during the first half and only one goal was scored. A lack of urgency in the defensive circle resulted In several goals being virtually handed to the opposition. This was certainly the case in both of the SACS games. The team was extremely lucky to have a very supportive parent group. My thanks to them for their assistance during the season. The team practised at the Wynberg Military camp Fields and practices were generally enjoyable. The

Mr Rushby. recognising the strength of this side. entered it in a pre-seasontournament at Pinelandsduring April of this year. Here we were drawn in Pool 0 against 5 other first teams. We did notdisgrace ourselves and won 3. drew 1 and lost 1. scoring 5 goals and conceding 4. Continuing this success.with our morale high and with the supportive encouragement of our coach. Wayne Schonegevel.the secondhOCkeyteam exhibited remarkable application to the game and tremendous team spirit throughout the season. The team readily practised their basicskills and set pieces. Under the captaincy of Trevor Scott the second team always fought back strongly and remained unbeaten up the last game of the season. In fact the only criticism of the side would be that their finishing in the opposition's circle was not of the same classas the rest of their play. This was especiallyevident in the last game against SACSwhen 10 minutes of continuous pressure by Wynberg failed to result in a goal. Top goalscorers were: John Bradley (9); Trevor Scott (6); Gavin Gordon (6); and Francis Brewer (6).

Grant Clark (26): Left-half. Good season. Masks and cover-defends well. Must keep ball on stick when in possessionand make sure of passes.Good on inside post at short-corners. Duncan Mills (26): Striker and Link. Extremely fit Ledby example.DeceptiveStickwork. Must work on tackling from the correct side and alsoon his hitting. Should keep ball on strong side. Bestlen Ruwlel (26): Striker. Always took practices seriously and worked hard at his game. Only really came into his own during last few games of season. Must remember to take on defenders on his strong side more often and not to pull the ball diagonally when trying to beat players. Mark von Benthelm (25): Right Wing. Leading scorer of field goals. Improved in basicskills during season. Must try to anticipate more and read the gap. 103

5TH HOCKEY XI The Fifth Hockey side had a successful season and their morale was high. Results were as follows:

Smuts and Anderson shared the captaincy and made valiant attempts to combine a rather disparate side into a unified force. Bennett played some reallyexcellent games in the goals. but without better defenders could not permanently keep the ball out of the net. Summersgill and Herrington did some fine work as backs while the halves such as Anderson. du Pont Burgess. Hoare and Taberner tried to stem the forward attacks to the best of their ability and turn defence into counter-attack. The forward line consisted of Charlesworth at centre-forward. Baar. Davies. du Pont or Anderson at inner and Smuts. Dimitri Parolis or Simpson as wings. They scored 13 goals between them but did not manage to use enough of the opportunities that came their way. The best game of the season was the indoor game against Bishops which we won 5 - 2. while the game best forgotten was that against the Rondebosch 5ths. which saw us go down 6 - O.

Results: P

The captain was James McCormick who led byexample and never ask.ed more of his men than he gave himself. He. together with Alan Bradley. Derek Loveday and Greg Mills. gave of their best and helped to weld the side into an effective fighting force. Bradley played a brilliant game in the goals and kept down the score against us with the aid of a fine pair of backs in Loveday and Laurenson. Mills or Treadwell took the centre-half berth and with wing-halves Babin. Mallinson or Smuts. maintained effective control most of the time in the midfield. The forward line consisted of Gerry Parolis as a goal-scoring centre-forward. Dawes and Phillips as useful inners and McCormick. Sutherland. Smuts or Burger as hard-centering wings. Between them and with the help of Loveday in short corners. they notched up a total of 29 goals in the course of the season. One of the more disappointing games was the last one that was lost to SACS 0 - 3. while more memorable were the occasions when the side defeated Pinelands 6 - 0 and Muizenberg 6 - 1. The one game we

UNDER 15A HOCKEY Owing to the fact that a number of last year's Under 14A side were not available this season. this side underwent numerous changes. The previous Captain. Nelson da Silva. was injured and unable to play until the 3rd term (during which he represented the U15B side) and the team found a new captain in Joel Merris. Joers own stickwork was outstanding. and he led the team competently. He was a fine example both on and off the field and encouraged the team with his determination. Philip de Nier. Joers co-link. also showed great flair and was always dangerous when linking with his right wing. John Webber. This was John's first season at hockey and he showed great aptitude for the game.

105

Jason de Boer (who was injured during a pre-season tournament) took over the left wing slot from Justin Beckley about one-third of the way through the season. and proved to be a danger man with some fine running up the left touchline. The forward line was completed by Miles Worling and Craig Patron. Miles' hockey has improved greatly since last year and he was often in position to finish off a fine movement. He completed the season with 8 goals to his credit. Craig Patton. who began the season as sweeper. had a tendency to run with the ball and was thus moved into the attack about halfway through the season. His stickwork and positional play were good. Steven Abbott. who began the season as a forward. was moved midway through the season to right half where his good marking and solid hitting provided the foundation for many of our attacking movements. He was our short corner specialist. scoring 12 goals during the season.

The rest of our back line consisted of Martin Heydenrich. Mark Gordon and Wayne Dickson. Martin was consistent at centre half. often being called upon to mark the opposition's danger man. Mark Gordon played the first game of the season for the B team but. once he had been given an opportunity in the A side. he never looked back. An extremely determined and hardrunning defender. he marked tightly and his aggressive running as the first wave in defensive short corners prevented many shots from reaching our goals. Wayne Dickson is a talented player who reads the game well. He intercepted many dangerous hits and had an amazing ability to scoop the ball to safety (often from the goalline) with a reverse stick flick or hit. Trevor Flint was our last line of defence and committed himself to the task admirably. He always gave of his best and his goalkeeping skills have improved remarkably since last year. His friendly nature did much to maintain the team spirit that developed during the season. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the U 15 indoor tournament where we reached the finals. only to be beaten 2-1 by Bergvliet. The following boys also represented (number of games in brackets):

UNDER 158 HOCKEY The team improved steadily during the season. and were playing some excellent hockey towards the end. The team suffered from an inability to score goals which cost us against Bishops and Westerford and which was most apparent against Fish Hoek and Plumstead. when a number of chances were missed. The team was also prone to inexplicable lapses of play. which cost us dearly. Nevertheless. the team as a whole and many of the individuals learnt a great deal during the season and I wish them luck in the senior division next year. A word of thanks is necessary to parents who provided support and lifts when needed.

UNDER 1SC AND D HOCKEY

now is to develop a shot at goal and then he will be an outstanding hockey player. No player tried harder than Goosen whose enthusiasm was as infectious as his crosses from the right wing were effective. Bailey's stickwork on the left wing improved by leaps and bounds and Heron's tenacity won many a tussle for the b~1Iat mner - but he needs to spend more time on his stlc~ork .. Crone was a talented player who never regamed hiS former standard after missing six weeks in the middle of the season. Le Roux. Swart. Hultzer. Thomas and Killingbeck all played occasional games in the A team. If they keep working at hockey. their time will come. The results of the team were good - played 13. won 9. drew 3 and lost 1. However. if the team learnt one lesson from their loss in the final game. it is that no result comes easily - successjust does not happen. it has to be made to happen. The team also took part in the U14 Indoor Tournament. where Rondebosch knocked them out in the semi-finals and in an Inter-Schools Field Tournament where they were beaten by Camps Bay in the quarter finals. What I particularly enjoyed about the team. was their commitment. especially off the field. They were ~repared to be ballboys at Newlands. give up holiday time to attend a hockey camp. put something back into the game by learning to umpire and support other teams when they were free. I predict that this team will do well.

The under 15C hockey side had a very good season. They played 10 matches. won 8 and lost 2. Thanks to the excellent coaching of Paul Farlam and Guy Lourelra. the side went from strength to strength. improving their tactical play and showing much determination. The side was ably captained by A. van der Westhuizen in the 2nd Term and by P. Judge in the 3rd term. The most improved player was B. van der Poll. The under 150 side did not have a happy season. Many of their matches and practices were cancelled owing to the waterlogged playing fields. This did not allow them sufficient time to improve their game. However. they ended the season on a high note. holding SACS 0 to draw and beating Bellville Tech Bl-a. They played seven matches. won one. drew one and lost five.

N.d.C. UNDER 14A HOCKEY This year has been a somewhat different one for Under 14 Hockey at Wynberg in that we are now feeling the effects of hockey being played in our feeder junior schools. With our own Junior School now starting hockey. Wynberg shows every indication of becoming a real force in Western Province hockey in the years ahead. The game came easily to the side this year. Owing to the fact that many of them were cricketers. they adapted easily to the new skills. Gibbon started off the year in storming style - his ability to burst through tackles saw him score many goals. Askew had a fine feel for the game and his ball skills were easily the best in the side. Hare started late but he has worked hard at his game and will be force in senior hockey. Ollis developed as the season progressed and deserved his promotion to the A side. Wilson was a superb defender with a low. hard tackle and good distribution. In goals. Beattie gave sterling service; if he continues to work hard. his reflexes and technique will see him reach the top in hockey. Amongst the forwards. Revington stood out with his ability to read situations and see gaps. All he needs

K.C.R. UNDER 148 HOCKEY For most of the players in the Under 14B group. hockey was a new sport at the beginning of this season. The team steadily improved throughout the season as the players absorbed more and more hockey skills. ThiS was partly due to certain members of the team being able to take part in a hockey camp at Stellenbosch University.

The second half of the season was more successful than the first but. overall. the team had a good season. Our sincere thanks to Shane Schonegevel for coaching the side.

I only joined them as coach at the beginning of the third term. but I look forward to coaching them next year; a season we are all looking forward to immensely.

UNDER 140 HOCKEY For the majority of the team members hockey was a new and exciting game. Their first real experience of the game occurred in the match against Tygerberg High. This game was. unfortunately. lost. but valuable experience was gained. The side was captained by a very able Anthony Aspden. The other players. besides Anthony. who stood out were Jason Phillips and Richard Budge. On the whole. the team played very well. I am sure that they all enjoyed themselves and that they are looking forward to next hockey season.

A.M.

G.F.

UNDER 14C HOCKEY The team were an enthusiastic bunch who all enjoyed their games. and played as hard as they could throughout the season. Bacon was an excellent captain and will blossom into a fine hockey player. De Roche supported Bacon well. and led the side efficiently when called upon to do so. Every member of the team has potential and it would be unfair to single out individuals. lf they continue to develop their skills. many of them will defin_itely play for the first team. The Under 14C"s lost only two games. won three games and drew the rest - a very good season for them when one considers that many of the players had never played hockey before.

UNDER 14E AND F HOCKEY Two additional Under 14 teams were entered this year. to accommodate the numbers of junior hockey players wanting to play matches. We won a few of our matches. most of them were against B. C or 0 teams from other schools. The value of Under 14E and F hockey is that boys who had not played hockey before indeed boys who had not played a ball sport before had a lot of fun. G. E.

ROWING The Rowing Club started the season with well-repaired boats: two fours. two eights and a sculling boat. The weather was kind and there were numerous windless days for good rowing. A very well-organised regatta was held at Elgin where Wynberg finished second. only one point behind SACS. We competed well in other regattas against rowing schools in the Peninsula. We also attended the Selborne and Buffalo regattas in East London. We rowed well in the races. but did not fare too well against the very strong Transvaal schools. However. our scullers. Timothy de Wet and Sean Heathcote-Marks. both rowed well and distinguished themselves in their races. The rowing club is to become part of the Alfred's Rowing Club where they will receive professional coaching. Rowing. however. will continue to be one of our school sports for this year.

The rugby weather in 1987 was a lot better than that of 1986; there was no need to cancel matches. there were no washaways. and few practices had to be abandoned. Furthermore. we now have a new rugby field. the 0 field. It is not right to see people offering time and effort to an organisation and not to express appreciation for what they are doing. Our thanks are due to the following:

Mr Linnegar and the Villagers Committee and Commandant Blaauw of the Wynberg Military Camp for allowing us the use of their facilities. - Mr Algie for his interest in and presence at our rugby games. - The coaches of the various teams: Messrs Harker (1st XV): Schooling (2nd XV); Luman (3rd XV): Cross (4th XV); Louw (5th XV): Pretorius (U16A): van Rooyen (U16B); R Connellan and T Connellan (U16C and D); Polden (U15A): Kriel (U15B): Bailey (U15C): Russel!

motivated unit which played better and better rugby as the season progressed. and which. to a large extent. achieved its aim of playing attractive. attacking 15man rugby. The inexperienceof the team at this levelwas clearly evident in the early part of the season and. as luck would have it. of the five players who did have experience of 1st team rugby. only one. the captain. Marc Marais. was to see the season through from start to finish. Kenny McTavish (the vice-Captain). Warren Fish. Robert Adshadeand Keir Carstenswere all major casualties for one reason or another for most of the season.and this placed an extra burden on the inexperienced shoulders of the younger players - and how well they responded! Marais at hooker - he was outstanding throughout the season- and the two props. José da costa (Ioosehead) and André Levey (tighthead) (both Std 9 boys). formed a powerful front row and the platform for some very impressive scrummaging performances during the secondhalf of the season.Graham MansonSmith (also Std 9). Neil Salt and Warren Fish filled the 2nd row berths and Manson-Smith in particular developed into a finejumper at No. 2 in the lineouts. The loose trio. made up at various stages from Craig Smith. Paul Kotze. Andrew Kets and BlakeCurrie (Std 8) took a while to learn the importance of working together and becamea far more effective unit after the tour to Durban. As a pack. their finest hours were probably against the touring Glenwood side in the return fixture played in appalling conditions at home.

UNDER 19A RUGBY The 1987 season started with a new coach. a large core of inexperiencedplayers straight out of the under 16A ranks and the toughest baptism imaginable. playing Maritzburg College (who already had 4 or 5 games under their belt!) in the first match. Largely becauseof these factors. a coaching clinic for the 1st and 2nd squads was organised for the end of the first term and into the holidays. A number of well-known provincial and ex-provincial players such as Hennie Bekker. Wessel Lightfoot. Freddie Ferreira and others were involved. This proved to be a great successand the boys learnt a good deal from the experiencedplayers. In spite of this the performances in the first two matches were a big disappointment; however. itsays a great deal for the character and commitment of this team that they were able to emerge from this poor start and develop into a well-knit. cohesiveand highIy110

and against Rondebosch.also in the return fixture and the second-last match of the season. A midfield backline defensive deficiency was exposed in the early games of the season.which caused a rethink and positional reshuffle. after which our defence improved substantially. Unfortunately. we were seldom able to penetrate at centre and relied enormously. firstly. on Kenny McTavish's and then. particularly. on Adrian Holdstock's intrusions from full-back to breach the opposition defence line. This Holdstock did with telling effect on many occasions scoring tries himself and making others for the wings Neil Eddy (a vastly improved player). John Price and Robert Adshade outside him. Grant Stevens. Andrew Symmonds (Std 9) (both out for a major part of the second-half of the season)John Price and. towards the end. Bruce Sharp. filled the centre positions. There was clearly a considerable improvement in our midfield play as the season went on. Bruce sharp. at fly-half mostly. was cool under pressure. His stand-in at the end of the season.SeanPrivett. likewise acquitted himself very well. Both these players are in St 9. which augurs well for next season.Serum-half Andy van Wyk improved with virtuallyevery game and Michael Kros also did well in this position for a large slice of the season. ~he playe:s worked extremely hard at their game dunng praCticesand out of this effort grew a spirit of cameradene that was to be a major factor in the emergence of this side as a force to be reckoned with. The midyear tour to Durban was. as is so often the case. a turning point in the development of the team. The degree tp which the side matured on tour was evident to all during the latter part of the season. Marc Marais (who was selected to play in the South African High Schools Rugby Project tournament at Stellenbosch for the W.P. team) earned the respect of all the players and was a fine captain. He was well supported by Kenny McTavish until the latter's bad injury and then by Bruce Sharp. To the three of them. my thanks for their support and loyalty. Thanks are also due to Wessel Lightfoot and Old Boy. Johnny Joubert. for their valued assistanceduring the season: Mr Alf Morris for his efforts as rugby organiser at the school: ad my special thanks go to Mr Doug Sehooling for the very close and easy working relationship we shared. and to the other senior coaches for their co-operation and hard work. The players and I have valued the loyal support of pupils. parents. Old Boys and friends of this school. all of whom haveplayed a part in making the 1987 season a success.

Brief Resumé of Matches: vs Maritzburg College (touring team - home): lost 6 -: 24. Quite outclassed by a big. well-drilled College Side. Our forwards struggled to win clean possession and our backline defence was suspect against the strong running of the College backs. vs Greenside (touring team - home): lost 10 - 22 A disastrous game from our point of view - apart from the first 15 minutes when we were well on top. Our tackling was again suspect. which the Greenside full-back in particular exposed with some devastating counter-attacking. We picked up a number of injuries in this game. vs Plumstead (home): won 25 - 3 A much better performance in which the side played with a lot more confidence. Four tries to nil sums up Wynberg's superiority. The supporting play in the loose was much better than in the previous two games. vs J G Meriring (away): won 9 - 6 Only tenacious defence by J G Meiring kept them in the game. Our forwards dominated both Iineouts

first 6 minutes. Despite winning very little Iineout ball. we won the rest of the game with some great scrumming and supporting play in the loose. D H S got the last penalty on full-time. but things could havebeenvery different if we'd kicked some of our chancesi

vs Rondebosch(Home): lost 6 - 14 A very hard game in which Rondeboschscored the only tries - and Holdstock kept us in with a chance with two huge penalties. Our game was generally much tighter and the scrummaging vastly improved.

vs Glenwood (Durban tour): won 14 - 13 An excellent courageous performance; again coming back from 0 - 10 down to score 3 great second-half tries and deservedly beat a highly rated Glenwood side. In the scrums we repeatedly pushed the huge Glenwood pack back metres. A great way to end a splendid tourl

vs Paul Roos (home): drew 10- 10 Playing in appalling, wet conditions and down 0 10 at halftime, we appeared to have no chance. However, a great fight back in the secondhalf. with Holdstock scoring all the points via a try and two penalties. earned us a deserveddraw in the end.

vs Brackenfell (home): lost 3 - 9 A dreadful performance. Everything that could go wrong did! We were listless in the loose and our handling and passing often shaky. Brackenfell had three huge forwards and won a lion's share of lineout ball. Nevertheless.we tried to win by running from our own 22 m line and lost instead. I'd rather that than not try to win at alii

vs Bishops (home): lost 12-15 A fine performance. But for a Holdstock try disallowed 10 minutes from the end. we might have won. Sharp and Holdstock kicked superblyand our tackling was deadly for the first time this season. Remarkable commitment from all 15 players.

vs Glenwood (touring team - home): won 13 - 9 An even better performance than the one in Durban against the sameteam. Playedin dreadful conditions. the pack was superb in all phases.and the backJine pressured Glenwood into making mistakes. For the second time this season.we gave awaya penalty try. right on the final whistle.

vs Strand (away): won 7 - 6 After a see-saw first half we scored a brilliant try right on half-time to lead 4 - O. However. lack of concentration immediately after the interval gave Strand a penalty try. However. midway through the second half. we got on top and a Sharp penalty saw us home.

vs Plumstead (away): won 21 - 0 A good performance under trying circumstances. The forwards again scrummed and drove well. particularly from the lineouts. A feature of the game was Neil Eddy's three good tries.

vs Paarl Gym (away): lost 6 - 22 The winning margin flatters PaarlGymasthe game was very much closer than the scoreline suggests. We again scored the best try of the match. but squanderedtoo many other scoring opportunities.

vs Bishops (away): lost 6 - 22 A most disappointing performance and result from our point of view. although. a good game of rugby. Lack of concentration in the scrums and failure to make hard first-time tackles were major faults. Bishops were allowed to play their brand of running rugby to good effect.

vs SACS(away):won 12-0 If we had taken all our chances.the margin of victory would havebeenmuch greater. Credit to SACS for keeping in the game - victory was only sealed 5 minutes from the end. Lack of concentration in the scrums cost us dearly.

vs St John's (touring team - home): won 20 - 0 4 tries to nil is comprehensivein anyone's book, but for long periods we frittered away opportunities and failed to drive the nail firmly home. There was plenty of good rugby from both sidesin this game.

vs Beachwood (Durban Tour): won 9 - 6 Another game of missed opportunities. Our support of the ball-carrier was particularly poor. Beachwood's huge lineout forwards won most of the possession from that phase. and again our scrumming wasn't convincing. However. a win in the first tour game took a lot of pressure off the team.

vs Rondebosch(away): drew 3 - 3 Rondebosch would agree that they were lucky to come out of this game with a draw. Our forwards were superb in all departments. and only great cover defence work by Rondeboschand three vital missed penalties close to the end. prevented us from achieving a well-deserved victory.

vs D H S (Durban tour): lost 13 - 19 D H S kicked a penalty from the kick-off. scored a try from the first scrum. and kicked another penalty soon afterwards to go 10 - 0 up within the 112

vs SACS (home): won 29 - 24 After running up a 19 - 61ead five minutes into the second half. we made some crucial errors which let SACS in for a number of quick tries. Our team then responded magnificently with two stunning tries in the last ten minutes - a fitting finale to the season. with a great deal of good running rugby from both teams.

sure was being experienced. these individuals tended to complain and blame other players instead of encouraging them. However. it must be said that Deon Poggenpoel and Craig Kotthoff did a goodjob in controlling this tendency. By the end of the season. the majority of the players had realised that good results could only be gained by working together. The indifferent and bad games were definitely the home fixtures against St Josephs and Rondebosch and the Strand away game. However. real commitment and dedication were definitely not lacking during the away flXture against Bishops and the home fixtures against Paul Roos. Plumstead and SACS. The team showed that they could play well as a unit during these matches. Although not the best season as far as results go. I am sure that the members of the 2nd XV enjoyed the greater part of the season. My thanks to Messrs Harker and Luman for their support and co-operation. The following represented the 2nd XV during 1987:

The season was rounded off as usual with the Old Boys' game on Founder's Day - an excellent game won eventually the by the 1st XV 28 - 26 after Rob Louw missed the equalising conversion on the final whistIeand the traditional Sevens Tournaments at Villagers. Our A side was beaten in the semi-finals and the B side was beaten in the Plate final; while at Hamiltons. with no matrics playing. our A side beat Paarl Gym to win the main competition and the B side were again beaten in the Plate final.

The team practised three times a week and showed dedication and a willingness to learn.

Your enthusiasm and team spirit will long be remembered. Finally. thank you to all pdrents for supporting the players this season.

The team produced the best 3rd team results smee 1979. Unfortunately. on one or two occasions. a feeling of over-confidence and a lack of discipline resulted in the team not playing to Its full potential. (Strand 4-9; Rondebosch 0-28). However. the positive aspects exceed the negative aspects by far and good fifteenman rugby was played against Herzlia II (34-0). BrackenfeIl (22-0). Westcliff II (36-6) and SACS (32-6). They also performed exceptionally well against Bishops (6~6; 9-22) when. in the return game. they played without seven regular players (altogether 36 players were used in 52 positions). The strength of the side lay with the forwards. who. through the leadership of Keir Carstens. overwhelmed all opposition - mcludmg Paarl Gymnasium (9-14) - in the tight phases. The backs. ably led by Rory Willey. were as good as their opposition but on occasions were unable to convert possession into points. A number of players appeared to lack self-confidence and It took months before their true potential was realiSed. A number of players deserve special mention: Gavin Gordon (2nd XI hockey player) for helping out against Rondebosch; Alex Mills (Cross Country athlete) for playing against Bishops and Rondebosch; Roysten PostIngs (U16A player) for helpmg out against Brac-

Mention must be made of some of the keener players. Andrew MacDonald. even when unfit to pl.~y. supported the team from the side-lines. Gavin Miller. who captained the side from the fly-half position. did much for the spirit of the side. His tactical kicking was as much a surprise to his team as to the opposition. Gregory Job. the smallest centre in the side. refused to give way easily. Forwards like E Postings. G Sutton. R Mallon and many others did splendid service until their puff ran out.

UNDER 16A RUGBY The Under 16A team started the season very unsure of themselves and their ability. but. as the season progressed. they became stronger. fitter. faster and gained in confidence. They have progressed from a team that could only win 5 out of 14 matches and score 120 points in 1986 to winning 9 out of 14 and scoring 227 points in 1987. They also undertook a very enjoyable and successful tour to Windhoek this year. Here they won all three of their matches which were against H.T.S. Windhoek (10-6). Academia (13-11) and Windhoek High (38-0). I have nothing but praise for this team. Theyalways tried their best and they were always prepared to learn so that they could better their ability.

I would like to thank the entire team for making this season one of the most enjoyable ones I have experienced for a long time. I would also like to thank those parents who so willingly assisted with transport and who gave us such good support this season.

RBHS (9-3) and SACS (22-10). All these achievements show that this team has much potential and should provide good players for ne.xtyear's first team. Players like Karl Thorne (Capt.) Mark Orpen-Lyall; Shaun Lee; Shahl de Meuter; Mark Schenck; John Slauck: Chris Pearse (vice-Capt.); Royston Postings and Karl Westvig should be a great asset to any tirst team.

SOUTH-WEST AFRICAN TOUR In the early hours of a Sunday and during the last week of the June holidays, a group of 39 boys (Under 15 and Under 16) under the watchful (sleepy?) eyes of Mr and Mrs V Polden, Mr P Kriel and Mr J van Rooyen, left for Windhoek. They arrived there that Sunday night and the group spent the first night in the hostel of Hoërskool Windhoek. The next day the two teams had their first experience of the hard Windhoek fields and the altitude. That Monday afternoon, they visited the city and in the late afternoon, went to the hostels of Hoër Tegniese Skool where they stayed most of the week, On Tuesday morning the group attended an Afrikaans school assemblyand all agreed that it was quite an experience. After the assembly we visited the S.w.A. Breweries where we were shown the different stages in the processing of beer. In the afternoon the two teams played their first matches of the tour.

against HTS. Wednesday was spent at the Daan Viljoen Game Reserve. Thursday morning saw us visiting Luiperdsvallei. a nearby army base. Here the boys were shown a weapon display and were also informed about terrorist activities. Afterwards, we visited Hartlief. a meat factory where the boys were shown how biltong, droëwors and polonies are made. There were quite a number of upset stomachs after this visit. In the afternoon. both teams played the strong Academia High School. when the spirit amongst the boys really came to the fore - the Under 16's gave Academiatheir first defeat in 7 years. That evening we hosted Academia- an evening enjoyed by all. On the Friday, the group went to the Turnhalle, Alte Fiste and the local museum. We also said goodbye to the HTS hostel and were accommodated in the homes of various parents in the afternoon. On the Saturday morning, both teams played Hoërskool Windhoek, the school which organised the SWA tour for us. In the afternoon some of the boys watched a rugby match in which a South African XV opposed a South-West African invitation side. That Saturday evening, we were the guests of Hoërskool Windhoek. After this function. the long trek back to cape Town began and we arrived home early on Sunday morning. The tour was enjoyed by everyone and all agreed that it was worth the ~ffort. The boys learned and experienced a great deal on the tour and few will ever forget their experience on the Thursday night when they were approximately 70m away from the huge bombblast that rocked Windhoek. Thanks go to everyone. especiallySchenk and Pureveen. for an enjoyable week in South-West Africa.

The team was weil ledby A. Badenhorstand D. Malan. This side must also be congratulated on the sportsmanship they showed when they lost against Rondebosch. The Under 15A team scored 71 tries and conceded only 7. The backline scored 39 tries, with W. le Roux scoring 9 tries. The forwards scored 32 tries, with A. Badenhorst scoring 14 tries. It is always a pleasure to coach a team when the players train hard, have respect for one another, are generally positive in their approach and fulfil their obvious potential. I should like to thank Messrs Kriel. Baileyand Russell for their help in the Under 15 division and all the parents who supported the team throughout the season. Results:

UNDER 15B RUGBY

V.P. UNDER 15A RUGBY

The Under 15B rugby side played rugby of a high standard throughout the year. During the first half of the season,the side only lost twice. Victories against RBHS 17 - 14: Paul Roos 6 - 3: Bishops 16 - 3: and Strand High ZO- 4 were well deserved. During the second half of the season.the side's play was disrupted by inuries. '\s a result we struggled against sideswe had beaten in the first term. Nevertheless. our team showed a lot of character and only lost twice. I would like to thank Shawn Lavery for his outstanding leadership when he was available for the side. Shane Misdorp and Mark McClearly are also thanked for taking over the leadership when necessary.To all

This season was an exciting one for this group. They maintained the high standard they established last year, their successbeing due to both team effort and individual flair on the part of certain players. The team played constructive and attractive rugby, with both backs and forwards determined to run the ball. In a team such asthis, it is both difficult and unfair to single out players but in the backline, C. Turvey showed his classand the ability to read the match, while the loosetrio of T. McEwen, M.

UNDER 1 se AND D RUGBY

2ndTerm:

The season began on a very promising note with no fewer than 45 players to choose from. The numbers soon dwindled. however, to around 35 when potential players began to realise how demanding this level of rugby can be. The competition was tough this season and both teams suffered mixed fortunes. not always winning, but usually holding their own. The highlights of the season for the C team were a 0-0 draw and a 20-12 win over a strong Rondebosch team in their two encounters. The 0 team had good wins against Strand C and S.A.C.s. (twice). The disappointing aspect of the season was the losing of some matches as a result of poor first half performances. We seldom "lost" the second half of a match. Thanks go to those players who regularly and enthusiastically attended practices and to the parents for their support and provision of transport.

UNDER 15 SEVEN-A-SIDE

UNDER 14B RUGBY I was most impressed with the way the boys in this team played and practised together; they played 15man rugby and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Several of our opposition teams found. to their cost. that IS-man rugby played properly is also winning rugby and they were dismayed to see their heavier. larger forwards tiring and losing ground and their often talented backlines starved of the ball. Our best matches were against teams who also ran a~ us and then we enjoyed sparkling rugby from both Sides. It was a pleasure to turn the tables on Bishops (4 - 8 first encounter and then 8 - 6). Rondebosch must be congratulated for holding us out twice (4 - 9 and 0-6). .

The 8th Seven-a-Side tournament at Wynberg took place on a sunny Saturday morning. Wynberg teams won the major competition and the plate competition. This event is becoming very popular and 16 teams took the field this year. with Bishops attending for the first time. The two Wynberg teams pl~ed good. constructive rugby throughout the competition and thrilled the spectators with excellent rugby in the two finals. We thank Mr Pretorius for all the effort and time he has put into organising this tournament which was enjoyed by everyone present. Thanks must also go to our sponsors. Adidas. who provided thé tracksuits for the winning team. to Mr Jones from Lightbody's for the T-shirts and to Mr C. Ellis for presenting the prizes.

Our best match. in my opinion. was our 15 - 0 win over. SACS at the end of the second term. I say this despite our subsequent 20 - Ovictory at the end of the season. My congratulations and thanks to the team for a most ef1ioyable season and to their loyal supporters. in particular the Van Rhyns. apies and Mr Ball. Well done. Stephen. on leading your team so well. The team consisted of Richard Sharp. Istvan Balint. Jean Clark. Andrew Wannenburg. Ian Clampett. Zak Sawyer. James Bali. Chris Ayres. Steven apie. Wade van Eyssen. lain Campbell. Andrew Pope. Sean O'Connor. Gregol)' Scott. Ronaid Roos. Jeremy Morris. Roy Greenacre and Stephen van Rhyn (Captain).

The under Fourteen A Team had a most enjoyable season this year and it has also been one of my mostenjoyable coaching seasons. This. I feel. can be largely attrib~~ to the attitude of the players who were always wllI!ng to accept advice. After taking quite a pounding against Paul Roos at the beginning of the season. the team. understandably. seemed to be a little lacking in confidence. However. once this hurdle had been overcome. nothing seemed to be able to stand in their way. The second half of the season saw some of the best school rugby I have watched. with forwards and backs combining in some spectacular moves which often resulted in tries. One of the most pleasing aspects of this season was the way in which I was encouraged throughout by many of the parents who were delighted with the attitude and spirit displayed by their sons. I wish to thank Mr Noot for his assistance and encouragement. the parents for their assistance with transport was well as for their su poort and the players for their admirable attitude to the game.

faults in the team's play started to become obvious. When under pressure for any length of time. individuals responded by trying to run through the whole of the opposition in a death- or-glory solo effort. The effect of this was to encourage others to do the same. disrupt the pattern and rhythm of the side and dishearten the team. This all culminated in a sound beating from a well-drilled and confident Bishops U 13A side. After this. things began to improve again and the season ended on a high note with SACS winning a cliffhanger by 2 points scored in the last minutes of the match. In my opinion. the most improved players this year are Mark Burt at hooker and Shane McMaster on the wing.

A.M. UNDER 140 RUGBY In spite of our forwards acquitting themselves well in most of their matches. we did not have a very successful season as far as results were concerned. We had neither good attacking nor sound defensive capabilities among the three-quarters and most of our opponents were quick to discover this. It was pleasing to note. however. that all of the players approached their games philosophically and they began each encounter in a manner which indicated that they were keen to enjoy themselves. There are a few players who. I feel. deserve to be mentioned. Brendon Goosen. with his delightfully elusive style of play. was easily the most attractive player in the team. Bath Stephen penney (hooker) and David James (prop) showed a pleasing improvement in play as the season progressed. while Shane Barnard (flank). Darren Creffield (lock and 8th man) and Andrew Tooley (prop). could always be relied upon to play hard. Anthony Sterianas (flank) showed himself. at times. to be a spectacular tackler and Christopher Righthouse certainly found his niche at8th man at the close of the season.

SQUASH

UNDER 13B RUGBY

The perennial trend with this agegroup is that most of the matches are against under 14 teams. Theseclashes inevitably result in defeats of varying severity. This is. however. preferable to abandoning this side and allowing the team members to become relegated to the lower ranks of the under 14 group simply becausethey are of smaller stature. The teamjustified its right to exist this season.not only by its brave efforts against bigger boys. but also by the way it conquered its equivalent Bishopsand S.A.C.S.opponents. It is a pity that Rondeboschdid not field an under 13B side this year since they are usually also a measure of the team's mettle. Players deserving special mention this year are Michels and Bradley for their constant hard work. Black for his courage and determination and Christen for his excellent defence at full back. The transport. interest and support provided by parents is also appreciated.

The season started well with a convincing pre-season victory over Bishops as a warm-up for our tour to Grahamstown where we convincingly beat Selborne 6 - O. Dale 6 - O. Kingswood 3 - 0 and Queens5 - 1 before being beaten by St Andrews 2 - 4. The St Andrews result was repeated when they toured Cape Town during the second term. John van Oordt was unbeaten against Scholars at Number 1. Brian O'Conneil was only beaten by the QueensNo. 3 and Rian Slabbert. John Munro and Karl Westvig were unbeaten until the St Andrews match. Mike Human was beaten by the Bishops and St Andrews No. 2·s. We were hosted in style by the Good family in Mossel Bayand by St Andrews in Grahamstown. Some kit was supplied by Judron through Mr Barnett and the Old Boys Squash Club covered much of our travellling costs. The first squash team was unbeaten in the Western Province leagueand Mixadrink knockout and was only beaten once in the Bishopsinvitation five-a-side knockout by the narrowest of margins by Bishops. This 3 2 win by Bishops entitled them to represent Western Province at the top schools' tournament in Pietermaritzburg where they came fourth. We beat Bishops 4 - 1 on four other occasions. but our top players lacked motivation and concentration in this one knockout final.

Critique of first team players:

J van Oordt - Recorded some very good wins this year. Excellent stroke player. but his game lacks initiative. Must learn to vary his shots. Hasthe ability to go far in the game. Was a member of the Western Province Schools Under 19A Team. He won 68% of his school matches and was awarded Blues for squash. B O'Connell - Has shown great commitment during

the year. but has tended to let matches slip from his grasp when he is in a winning position. Has some superb squash shots and he uses the length of the court well. Was Number 1 in the Western Province Under 16A team during 1987. He won 70% of his SChooimatches and was awarded Bluesfor squash. M Human - His main enemy this year has been his

attitude towards the game. Lack of both application and the will to win have been the causeof many lost

The Under 15 Dayboy team came first in the Junior A 1 League and the Under 15 Littlewood team werejust beaten into second place in the Junior A2 League. They combined for the second half of the season and the Under 15A team came second in the Senior B2 League while the Under 15B team came sixth in the Junior A 1 League. The Under 15A team was unlucky to be knocked out in the Junior A Knockout semi-finals owing to injuries and the Under 15B team reached the Junior B Knockout finals. Chris Ayres won 72% of his matches before leaving halfway through the season. He played for the Western Province Under 14A and was selected at number 5 for the South African Under 14A team. Michael Munro also played for the Western Province Under 14A and was unbeaten for the Littlewood Under 15 team. He won 85% of all his school league matches. Brenton Heron won 92% of his matches and was not available for the Western Province Under 14 teams.

They came second in the Junior C2 League and included the following players: Paul Allardice (40%). Clayton Botha (83%). Darren Creffield (40%). Barry Herbert (50%) and Stephen Michalitsianos (50%). The school shared the Top School's Trophy with Bishops for the best overall League performance. We had three very rewarding matches against Wynberg Old Boys. We played a friendly first League combination including Steven Armstrog. Darren Breed. Sean O'Connell and David Mills who showed our top players how much their games still have to improve before they reach the top. The Founders' Day Old Boys team was weakened by the tragic death'{)f Greg Hammond and the school scraped in by 7 games to 6 against Alan Daniel and Graham English (who showed their first league experience) and Donal O'Connell and Paul Duval (who were a bit out of touch). A very enjoyable third match was played against the Old Boys Club top league team. which had won the Western Province fifth league knockout and the 5A League trophy. The school won comfortably against Gary Mulder. Ernie Smith. Eddie Weber. Anton Finneran. Jegg Sternslaw and Mike McCullagh although the top 4 games produced a very close result with matches 2 each. games 9 each and points 125 to 124 to the Old Boys. This was followed by an enjoyable dinner. A number of Greg Hammond's contemporaries combined to present a Memorial Trophy for the most improved squash player. The choice will be very difficult. but should be between Rian Slabbert who improved from 100% success at number 7 last year to 91 % success at number 4 this year. or Patrick Gildenhuys who only achieved a team placing during the last two matChes of last year. and who improved from the Under 15D team this year to play in the Under 15A team and beat the Under 14 top seed to reach the finals of the Under 14 school championship. Possibly the Greg Hammond Memorial Trophy should also include sportsmanship as a prerequisite for that was one of Greg's strong features. Brenton Heron and Michael Munro played off for the Under 15 School Championship which had been won by Chris Ayres before he left the school. Brenton beat Michael to become the school's Under 15 Champion. They were both eliminated in the Under 14 championship semi-finals and Alain Nestel of the Junior School beat Patrick Gildenhuys to be the Under 14 Champion. Brian O'Connell beat Rian Slabbert for the Under 16 Championship and John van Dordt beat Brian O'Connell in the Open School Championship. The Inter-House Championships produced some very close results with Van Riebeeck achieving joint first place with Littlewood on 13 points. De Waal were third with 12 points. Rhodesfourth with 10 points and Wellington fifth. The Junior Squash team which toured to Mossel Bay for the Southern Cape Tournament produced some fine results. Warren Parkin. Michael Munro. Patrick Gildenhuys. Brenton Heron and Jason de Boer were a

well-balanced side who beat Border at 3. 4 and 5 to win 14 - 11 even though we were 9 - 11 down on games. We beat the Southern Cape side (including Graham Bryant who played for Wynberg last year) at number 2. 4 and 5 to lead 11 - lOon games and win 16 - 10. The Eastern Province team beat all others and were too strong for the tournament.just as we were last year. The season has run smoothly with the aid of Messrs Brian Botha. Dave Russel!. Keith Iliffe and Dave Mills who helped coach and organise practices. We entered a record 13 teams thanks to the staff transport team including the above and Miss Bernadette Fassler. Miss Amanda Ellis. Mrs Karin Sandyford. Mr Danny Meyer. Mr Jo Koekemoer. Mrs Pat Hawkins. Miss Nancy Jackson and several parents. including Mrs Mills and Mrs Wilson. The Old Boys. with Jeff Sternslow's dynamic leadership. have kept the courts playable and we look forward to the new courts in the Old Boys' Pavilion. Mr Payne and his grounds staff are thanked for keeping the courts clean and in playing condition.

He is currently at school in Long Beach.LosAngeles.California. Although he was missed as a captain. as an exceptional player and as a good team member. there was enough depth to allow the first team to hold its own in spite of two players being sidelined with ankle injuries for part of the season. In January we took part in the annual W.P. Schools'

This season. a special effort was made to improve attendances. punctuality and team spirit at practices. Did this achieve anything? It is hard to tell. (See results above). What can be said is that enjoyment of the game improved and practices were less chaotic and more relaxed (especially for the coach). Perhaps more time is needed for the full effect to be noticed but unfortunately the teams consist mainly of matrics who will be leaving shortly. Players who have done well this season are Anthony Hammond (Captain). Alan Daly and Bruce Mizen. Francis Brewer played well in goal. Bevan Yates. Peter Mills and David Henry are three youngsters who improved a great deal this season.

UNDER 19E AND F WATER POLO

UNDER 1SA WATER POLO

The under 19E water polo side had a good 1986/1987 season. Under the captaincy of Andrew MacDonald they played with determination, often outswimming and outplaying their opponents. They played ten matches, winning seven and losing three. The under 19F water polo side did not fare so well. They played ten matches, lost seven and won three. This side does, however, have the disadvantage of losing players to a higher side , thus depriving them of talent

The team has gone from strength to strength during the first half of the season and.judging by the results. we must be the favourites to win the Wailer Cup. The healthy team spirit has been remarkable and must be attributed to the sound leadership of Thomas McEwan. who has led by example.

1SE AND F WATER POLO

The Under 15E and Fgroup consisted of3 teams in the first half of the 1987 season.We had an E team. an Fl team and an F2 team - the latter two teams being of more or lessequal strength. The Fteams alternated for the Friday matches and so every boy in the group had the opportunity to play a match. Catering adequately for the needs of all these players in one short practice session is. of course. a problem. Nevertheless. attendances were good and everybody splashed about with enthusiasm. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of coaching this group is seeing beginners. who often had difficulty at the beginning of the season in merely remaining afloat. mature into strong swimmers and enthusiastic players.

T. N.

For the first time. the Under 15 water polo division was divided again into teams of either Under 15 or Under 14 players. Consequently. what was the Under 15C team becamea team of over 14 year-old players. while the Under 150 team becamean Under 14 team. This experiment should reap great rewards next season as players remain In the same Under 15 team after promotion from the Under 14 team. while the Under 14's in the beginning of the season learn from the more experienced Under lS·s. Our results were most encouraging especially as neither side possesseda "star" player. It is unfortunate that one boy of exceptional size can unduly influence the course of a game.

Oregon last month. The prestigious win was yet another feather in the cap of the talented 16-year-old Western Province and Springbok sailor. who has been skipping around the Peninsula waterways on sailboards since the age of ten. This year Peter was nominated bestjunior sailor in the province. receiving the Radio Good Hope Trophy and was again awarded his WP colours. after gaining his blaser for the first time last year. Slate lives and practises at Zeekoevlei and is particularly successful in course racing. Last year he finished third overall in the South Afr~can Open Boardsailing Championships - against a fleet of 64 competitors and finished eighth in the Golf GTI slalom Grand Prix. against international competition.
