EDITORIAL

FROM THE HEADMASTER

"When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that ha gone before and the first of what i till to come." Leonardo da inci 19 9 ha:.- been cl year in which all of us have been c()n~tantl y rcm-inded of our threa tened environment anu \.~ildlife. The media, it b plca::.ing to observe, have given much publicity to issues such as the de-,truction of the O7<lI1ela yer, the shrinking fore t areas ot the world, acid rain, the pollution of our river systems and oceans and the endangered elephant and black rhino of Africa. lt would eem that. elt last, our world i beginning to reali~ that our planet is mall and fragile and that, a a re-,ult of Ignorance, greed clnd carcll'S ness, the wildlife and natural beauty we lm'e is e\'cr)n,vhere under threat. It is, therefore, heartening to note that thec;e crucial enviromental issucs are also being stud ied and di.,cu.,!>Cd within the curricula of a number of ..,chool ..,ubjects and that groups ~uch a our own \YildlIfe ooet)' are beginning to make their appearance among the clubs and 'ocieties of our schools. lt is Important that this trend .,hould both continue and flourish. outh Africa already faces thedaunting ta kof creatmg a -;()C1etythat will provide cl~li.ll, political and economic place In the sun for all it citi7en . Ilowever, unle<;s thio; IS accompanied by a determined effort to conserve our ~...I1dlife and natural ell\'lronment, there will be little lett ot our beautifulland for future generations to enjoy. A.., the educator., of tomorrow'., adult citiLen , our school .. ha\'e a vital role to pla)' in ensuring that our voung people go out mto hfe with a pas lonate concern tor the preservation of our natural hcntage and an acute awarenc s of the fact that, when man cease to care for his natural envHonment, he I~ bemg both :.-hort-sighted and elf-de tructive.

In our countrv, :md in education, we arc in a period of change. Of this there an be little doubt. hange bring with it a challenge for all concern d and the challenge of the nineties i going to be the tran ition into a post-apartheid society. For those of us presently in education I see the follow;ng challenge I. To develop relevant curriculum to meet the need of our changmg society and 10 meet the nccd~ of all people 111 Sourh frica 2.

For the community at large there are a number of challenge~ a~ well. 0 longer can a parent say "I do not interfere in m on's education" or "You are the expert, get on with the i b."

lhe qualily of persons entenng lhe profe~).ion will delcriorate. The third group in our education process, the pupils, ha ve a nu mber of challenge to face in our change to a post-apartheid ociety. 0 longer i there going to be a "protected occupation" or a guaranteed lifestyle". Unemployment is a reality already. I believe that our pupil will have to: 1. Appreciate the education they are being gl\ en and utili~e il to the full 2. Realise that teachers are there abu~ed

be used and not

3. Dc\ clop ne\\ perception~ of lheir fello\\ pupll\ in lhi~ country and try to lInder~tand what lhey believe i~lmponam. I am not gomg to conclude that all is fine at Wynberg. In actual fact I feel we have much to be concerned about and that the challenges I have outlined need to be considered and faced. I am, however, optimi tic that Wynberg can and will face the futurt!.

Mr Garv Eva presents a farewell gl.ft to Ms Amanda Ellis

Mr Rocco Radloff also left u at the end of the fir!>t tenn to take up a well-deserved promotion post at Fi h Hoek High School.

the many learning experience that we have hared during my tay here. Mo t of you have probably noticed the quotation above the Art Department door which read "CREA TIVIn' IS THE VERY ESSE CE OF YOUTH". One of my lecturers at U.CT. once said to us, "You lcarn from the young and not from the old". I have been watching my art pupils create for the pa t three y ar . They have inspired me so much that I have decided that, before 1 am wearing a grey bun on the back of my h ad and my Renault 9 i a vintage model, 1mu t move on and further develop and explore my creative interests. I plan to e hibit my work on several group show thi vear. It-ha· Slven me great pleasure to di!>play "ome of your many beautiful pictures.

Among the aims of Geography teaching are the a\.,·areness of man's interaction with man and with his environment. Even boys who e future carccr~ arc di\'orced from the general concepts of geography can benefit from what they learn in the geography class. Our Rock and Gem display during Open ight created much interest while the Inspector's visit was vcry positi e and the staff appreciated hi approach to the teaching of Geography. Our hope i that boy pa ing through the department will gain, not only a greater ph ~ical knowiege of the earth, but al 0 deeper under')tanding and tolerance.

hi tory thi year and for that reason projects wer chosen which the pupil could enjoy.ln td there wa the choice of either a travel brochure of Wvnberg or a newspaper printed on a day in 'the apoleonic Era. Some very interesting and good projects were received, e pecially from Mr Richard on's cIa s. In Std 9 the pupils developed teaching aids in the form of a lide-tape presentation or by means of overhead projector tran parencies. Some good projects were received. The 1989 Matric group i a strong group and, if they live up to expectations, ten A-symbols could be achieved at the end of this ear. We wish them ucces in the examination . KJ.P.

G Eva ACro A Stewart At the beginning of the year the department welcomed Me r de Waal and Stewart. With the new time-table wc hoped that each teacher would take a hi tory and a geography cla . We would then be able to teach one ubject percycIe. Unfortunately, thi y tem did not work a not all the teacher felt competent in both ubjects. Con equentl , we could not teach one ubject per cycle and this complicated the standardised test program.

On the topic of succeeding at Ma tllcma tics, it is often asked what the secret to success is. As we see it there is a two-fold answer: memorisation and practice - memorisation because pure brilliance and insight only help a few, and yet coming memory \Vork is not uncommon; practice beca use Ma ths in vol ves far less rote memorv than several other subjects and more application to different situations. An "understanding" of seclions of Maths sound impressive but can guarantee very little succes unless there is also practice on a large scale. Lastly there is the question of whether a boy hould take Mathematic on the Higher Grade, or Standard Grade or at all. In reply one must say that H.G. is intended for the outstanding pupil and S.G. for the average pupil. Boy who do not quite fit these categories, but who are willing to work hard, are allowed to test the waters for a few term, but continued and ineffectual struggling with a grade or a subject is e tremely damaging to all concerned - to other pu pils, the teacher and above all to the morale of the individual concerned. Realism is vital, not onlv in real life out there, but also after careful consideration in the classroom context. In conclu ion we trust tilat our matrics and others can work hard and earn the "good luck" and ucce s in their finals that they deserve. O.B.

THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Subject Head: Ms B Fassler Staff: M L M Galpin This year we welcomed M Lynne Galpin to the Music Department. She has settled down well and the boys enjoy her youtil and spontaneity. Our goals for the year were two-fold: to develop an all-round mu ician rather than a pecialist and to develop the potential of each individual boy. There were ten boys taking music as an academic subject: three in Std 6 (guitar and two pianos), two in Std 7 (both piano), one in Std 8 (ba soon), and two each in Std 9 (both piano) and Std 10 (bas oon and recorder). The senior classes are all on higher grade and the Std 6 class are particularly talented. Extra-mural pianists improved their basic keyboard kills and gained confidence and performing experience.

THE METALWORK DEPARTMENT Subject Head: Mr J.G. Louw January 1989 saw the introduction of the new teacher- pupil ratio in a manual training subject when four groups of standard six pupils descended upon the Metalwork and Woodwork centres. The large nwnberofboys crowded the work hop, but 'oon settled down to enjoy the varied tasks et, from the mastering of the basic tool ,the mo t important being tile file, to the control and application of intricate oxy-acetylene oldering technique .The enthusia. m displayed by these pupils made light of difficulties and hort work of the most taxing task. To the end of their standard seven year the boy learn to master the ba ic skills in the practical

These re uit cannot be oleyattributed to the Physical Education DepartInent, but are also the result of the school's high participation in port.

The boy al 0 ang from new song-files, which were regularly updated. Wynberg wa privileged to have three Capab \'isit this year: Music (perrus ion group), Ballet (mime in dance) and Opera (non en e ong ). The _ubjcct-music boy attended a "Lohengrin" lecturc/rehear al at the ico Malan and also a Sunday evening concert with the aso. At the first term Music Evenjng all the musicians performed vocal and in trumental solo and ensembles from the twentieth century. At the Arts Evening four mu Icians played an introduction to the pla s. On Open ight family and friend were invited to a display of instrument with performances in the hall.

Wynberg Boys from Std -10 taking part. Although we saw nobody finishing in the top 100 (the first time in many year this has happened) we neverthele had sufficient boys placed in the top 10% in the country (32 of our 73 entrant) to enable Wynberg to come 3rd in the country for schools of our ize (650-1000 pupils). The chool wa awarded a prize ofR750-00 and an air ticket to enable staff members to attend the 13th ational Biannual Science Teacher Conference in Pretoria. Me sr Connellan, Mo er, Moore and Taylor all benefitted from the experience. There is obviou ly a good foundation of science in the school as shown by the Olympiad result, and this augers well for the future as the majority of boys will be able to tackle the e am again ne t year. The top two boys were both from Std 9 (Craig Patton and Warren Carew) while the top matric, Jeremy Laurenson claimed the school's 3rd position. We had a vi it this year from Mr Stassen and other superintendents, who visited our cla ses and department meeting. They had several good ideas especially on elf-evaluation and development of the subject team. We were approached for comment on the new syllabus to be introduced during 1992 and forwarded some idea and sugge.tion::. for subject matter and order of covering work. An investigation into testing techniques led u to look more carefully at etting tests and exams and to look at the 'etting and marking of the final m<1tricexams. Over the past two years Messrs Radloff, Moser and onnellan have all been refu ed a~ ub-examiners to help mark the final exam. Yet we are told there i a critical. hortage of English-speaking ub-examiner ! lichael Petersen, our lab a' istant, has been on everal cour es to ,·\'iden his experience with the equipment u ed in the labora torie and to introduce him to new methods of doing experiment. We are now moving to the final tage of preparing the matrics for the final exams and look for,,,,ard to pleasing result at the end of the year. BG

thi in mind both the Std 6 and 7 years have been designed with as much practical work a po ible. Discussions, project, videos, pupil presentation and library research have dominated, while lecturing/teaching has taken a back eat. The following project work was done in 1989: Std 6: De igning and producing a po ter on ·'Gases". Building a vivarium and watching the life cycle of a mall animal during the course of the year; and reporting on their findings to the class during the 4th term. Std 7: Building a model of an organ of the human body, and explaining its function to the cia . Designing something which demonstrates a particular aspect of Light e.g. Pepper's Ghost, micro cope, ewton's Di c, etc. Resear hing the characteristics or adaptations ofa particular animal which enables it to be tcope with its environment. The projects have been ver ucce sful and rewarding to the pupil . We were very sorry to los Mr Radloff (who left on promotion to Fish Hoek Senior High) at the end of the first term, but were amply compenated by the arrival of Mr Taylor who brought a wealth of experience, inno ative ideas and enthusiasm into the department. We look forward to a long and happy as ociation with him. Mr Howard, a Biology teacher, joined u at the beginning of the year for 3 terms. He wa most helpful with a number of ideas and concept concerning the Biolog component of the work. His classes were taken by Mr Aldred during the 4th term. I wi::.h to thank my teaching team for helping to promote the philosoph of the department in their clas rooms and for working e tremel hard during the year. L.G.M.

BIBLE EDUCATION

The importance of !>eeingprinted nnd audio-visual material a different aspect of media cannot be overemphasised. Two new development, a) th physical change planned and b) the appointment of one teacher to supervise a tivities in the media area, will help to bring the two a peet - together in the mind!>of the pupils and staff.

ubjcct Head: W A Creed The Bible Education vllabu set by the Education Department requires that approxi~'nately one and a half hour~ per mne day cyele be devoted to Bible Educahon. The purpose of this education i to develop the young spiritually, a well as Intellectually and physically. In case our youth do not pick up a Chri tian morality and belief from the home, the school, it i felt, <;hould be there a a surrogate. TlllS i., all very commendable, provided there are enough teachers to manage all the cla.,~e!>.In the pac;t this has been fairly adequately covered. However, this year'~ timetable ha produced a situation in which some teachers have to teach a ubject for which they have no affinity or Interest. Although there I a wide election of audiO-Visual teaching aids available, teacher!> are till required to have that inner conviction in order to Interpret the Bible. Wc are hoping that this tate of affairs will be rectified next year.

The Media Centre (Audio-visual) The Centre hn had a very exciting year of developm nt. Wc now have a fllil quota of twelve media monitor very ably led by tuart Brown. Early in the year we acqllired a Tedele VIIS which has helped extend the VH side of our operation and satisfy the growing demand for this format. The plans for the changes in the Media Centre and library hélVe been profe sionilily designed, pa.,,,ed by the school's authorities and arc now in the proce of gaining the Department' approval. Hopefully, by the middle of next year, the library and Media entre will be one, phy!>ically,and this hould enable it to offer the school everything it needs. Finally, a Media entre's proje t, a short film on Wynberg, i nearing completion and should be ready for viewing at the end of the third quarter .

It i imperative to keep the stock up to date and a generous allocation of school fund and donations from pupils and parent have allowed us to begin to upply the boy with more relevant reading matter. The response from the boys and staff has been encouraging; the borrowing ta ti tic have risen and we are confident that more and more boy will be attracted to the library as they find books that trike a chord in them elves.

IMPORTANT EVENTS FOUNDERS' DAY: 30 AUGUST 1989 Although the weatherman had predicted wet, wintery conditions, we were extremely fortunate to experience no rain, and even a little w1shine, for the duration of this year's FOW1ders' Day activities. Our cadet band and cadet detachment gave an impressive performance on the Hollow and this was followed by our traditional Founder' Day ceremony in the Clegg Hall. This year's address was delivered by the Mayor of Cape Town, Alderman PR J Muller, after outlining the various problem and challenges facing Capetonian of the future, said that there was a need for a school uch as our to contribute towards the bold vi ion and creative leadership that Cape Town and uth Africa would need.

FOUNDERS'

DAY

1989

1989 MATRIC DANCE At their last official social function at the school, the 19 9 Matrics danced to the music of "The Graduates" in the "Wynbergian Trattoria". Unlike the day prior to their Biology exam, the dance was not affected by a tayaway - only five matricsdid not attend thedance. Thedance wa very ably organi7ed by Andre Badenhorst and his committee, namely W Beaumont, J Parrott, J Bayly, W Bertram, C aim, A Gaylard, T Flint, J Morison and D Scorey. The conunittee and waiters worked extremely hard in the two weeks prccccding the dance, thu's en uring that the decorating did not become a last-minute rush. Our Std 9 mother did the catering, which was quite "uperb. The Std 9' of 1990 will have to work extremely hard to produce a Matric Dance of comparable tandard.

CONTACT WEEKS

there wa also the jog and the ~wim every morning at 7 o'clock. On the fir t night a range of "ice-breaker" had been arrangeJ, and they went off very well. TIle second evening started off with a braai and ended with the performance of a ho tof ::.kit . However, the Camp also had it" eriou ideo Mr Phipper of Leadership South delivered an extremely interesting and motivating talk of leader hip. Mr Algie and Mr Richardson also deli\'erLxi talJ...sand the pupils had a chance to ask que tion~. During the main a sembly the Std 9s decided that their theme for 1990 would be "Teamwork". Other very interesting suggestions came up, one of them being the Adopting of a Std 6 by a Std 10 during Induction Week. There \Vas panic on the final day, for fear of mi<;<;lngthe uITie up Final. Ilowever, we arrived home on time. A good time wa,> had by all and a good spirit prevailed at this year's Std 9 Camp.

Thi::. year three very succes ful Contact Weeks were held during the ccond term. Two of these, with the Junior School and Rondebosch, were ho<,ted by liS. The third week was hosted by ACS. lt I\'a~ encouraging to see that many more pupils from WBH participated in the Contact Weck' than before. These Contact Weeks perform a very important function. For the Junior School bovs thev offer the opportunity to !>Ce what hte is liJ...eat- the High School and the staff of the h... ,o schoob have an opportumty to meet.

Some of the most interesting and enjoyable aspects of the evening were the displays and demonstration put on by the 25 different clubs and societies in the sd1ool. These varied from the Science Club's experiments to the Interact Club selling pancakes in the Quad. The evening was brought to a do e with a perfom1ance by the d10ir and the staging of the winning play from the Inter-House Competition, "Teddybear's Picnic". An interesting development is that Open ight is becoming a pupils' evening. Thl year most of the organisation was done by the pupils themselves and on the evening itself it was encouraging to sce the staff keeping such a low-profile. J deW

The society's meetings con isted entirely of members discussing their own per onal music interests and playing samples of this music. The society meetings were very informal and everyone enjoyed the break. Open ight proved to be a great success with the society offering it own brand of unique entertainment. The contact week with RBHS also proved to be a great success and was enjoyed by all.

"afficianado " of the chool. Our school teams have experienced mixed fortunes this year, due in part to the youthfulness of their members - only one team member (first team no. 1, Reece Harvey) is in Standard 10. TIle remaining members come mostly from tandards 6 and 7. TIlis certainly augurs well for the future. Highlights thi year were undoubtedly wins by the first team against Herzlia (7-3), Bi hops (6-4), We terford (8-2), and SACS (8 - 2). Particular! noteworthy performances have been turned in by Mark Aaron (fir t team no. 2) who won eight and drew two oi the ten first team matche which he played.

The year began with the expectation that 19 9 would see Wynberg tagi.ng a full Shakespea.rean production. Unfortunately, this did not materialise and so, during this year, we focussed on our Inter-House Play Festival and the Cape Education Department's 150th Anniversary Drama Festival. The Inter-House One-Act Play Fe tival wa staged on the evening of 11 April and once again we were treated to an evening of plea 'ing entertainment. Special mention must be made of the Littlewood Hou e production of "Teddy Bear's Picnic". lt was one of the best pupil-directed production that we have een at W nberg and Dennis Mair, the director, and hi talented cast are to be congratulated on the sophisticated standard they attained with this thought-provoking pla .

Mr G Eva Chairman:A Badenhorst Secretary:A Gaylard CTurvey OMaian o Boi kin M McCleery The aim of the relatively young 19 9 committee were to increa e membership, to arrange guest ~peakers and tomake the Society more intere ting to members. I think we achieved all of these aims this year, though there i~ alway room for improvement. Our membership increased by about 35 pupils and an average of about 0-85 people attended meetings. We also had more gue t speakers than in previou years. The pupil find the Geography Society most interesting and our increa -ed membership i!>proof of this. The society did not concentrate on geographical subjects only. We had guest speaker who enlightened u on such matter a the Arab way of life and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Rotar Exchange system and school life in America. The South African champion \'vine-maker poke to us about the di tribution of wine throughout the world. Mr Eva poke to the Society on a number of occa ion about controversial geographical theorie . These talks were e pecially intere ting. On the whole the Geographical Society had a very ucces ful year. Thanks mu t go to Mr Eva for hi patience and help throughout the year.

To conclude, 1 wish to thank Mr Prctoriu for hi as istance and encouragement o\'er the past h'\'o year. The succes of the Hi tory Society is largely due to hi commitment.

During the third term we went on an e cur ion to Muizenberg where we vi ited the Labia Mu cum, which wa opened la t year, and Rhodes' Cottage, which was recently renovated. Both these vi its proved to be e tremely intere ting. For the fourth term we have planned a visit to the American Embas y in Cape Town, while an excursion to Parliament next year i on the cards.

This year would not have been enjoyable \·vithout the support of the Matrics. Their support of the prefects was really appreciated. Mr Connellan and Mr Rushby must too be thanked for the time they devoted to the prefect body. In closing I would like to wish the Std 9's the b~tufluck nextyearin all their aims in thesehool. To the rest of you: your school career will be over surpnsingly quickly, 0 make the mo t of it! Peter Mills

Although we were maugarated as prefects at the end of last year, it was at the begmning of this year thilt our oHice as prefect .. really began with a camp at Silverhurst. B id~ recon'ring from our morning runs, we learnt a greatdeal about leader"hlP, prefectship and one another. Our goal wa:, to promote chool spirit and unity. The prefects soon discovered that to achiew these goals would lIlvolve a good deal of hard work. A upport commlttee, the supporters badge, and the "Wynbergian of the Weck", did a good deal to foster ,>chool spint. I abo feel that prefect' assemblies were well run and very enJoyable this year. [ mu.,t also commend Grant Esterhui7en and hl...committE't:' for the running of the cultural ide of the school thic;year. Open, ight, organised by Grant and the Matrics was one of the best we have experienced at Wynberg. [ abo think that thc ..,tanJtlrd of Open. ight was a r flection of the commitment of the pupils of Wynberg to their <;chool.

THE INTERACT CLUB The Interact Club ha done very well this year. At the cnd of last year wc instituted a collection for cleaning taH.

Our camp really ended \·."jth a bang when a pressure cooker explodec!. Thanks to God' grace nobody was badly hurt. Other than that, the camp wa. a time of Christian growth and many new fnends were made acro s the cultural barrier. Another big event this year was the Y.F. . team' Youth Harvest \'i'iit.

W.P. BLOOD TRANSFUSION SERVICE: W.B.H.S. CLINIC The Clinic at W nberg wa tarted on the 16th Augu 11985 and has, ever since, functioned as an offshoot of the Y.P. progranulle. Wc have ent many donors into the world consciou of their civic duty and moral responsibility to their fellow man. Afternoon clinics \".'ere held on 21 t March and 1 th July at which an average of 25 units of blood was donated. A new concept wa attempted on the 18th Septemocr when an all-da bleed wa held in the intimate, friendly atmo phere of the Metalwork drawing room turned into a donor-clinic. Wc started the morning \ ilh nn earnest appeal to the 31 regLt red Wynberg donors to 5uppl blood urgently needed in the City. As oon il ten unit were donated, the con~ignment wa ru hed off to Service centre. By the end of the day a record number of 50 d()nor~ had visited the clinic. Teacher and pupils who donated, ome with nervoll trepidation and waxen complexion, may feel assured that the contribution they made wac; sorely needed and received wlth .,incere gratitude. To all new and pro pective donor may I extend an open invitation to continue attendance at the Wynberg &ys' High clinic in 1990. The allday clinic may become a regular fi ture at Wynberg and any intere,ted parent may join his/her son in sharing a cup of tea and "cookie". J.G.L.

A long line of riot vehicles snaked their way between the bl.0':ks of buildings and lined up facmg the entwmll1g protestors. Tollie and Karim gazed from behind their own folk. They knew what would follow, it had happened before and Tollie was not going to be sjamboked again. Ka rim was a faster runner and had eluded the boere. They were not going to chance their arm again. Hundreds of navy grey caspirs thundered towards the scene. Barricade were set up and everybody became restless.

He strained to see the grey plaster of Carringbrook Court acros the slush of the building works. A yellow packet tumbled passed him at high speed, driven into a frenzy by the howling gale and finally becoming entrapped in the outspread branche of a Port Jackson bush. He plodded teadfa tly onwards, towards his home in Mannenburg. The warmth of Tant Kobas' fish soup added new life to hi body. He had lived with her ever ince he could remember, his mother had died at childbirth. Tollie had not been to school in three week as the election had brought about a major disruption in "coloured" education. He was nevertheles determined to pa his matric examinations this year and had been working steadily on hi own at night. He gazed out the white window to where flags of wa hing could u ually be een waving beh-veen the building, but today lhe courtyard was deathly empt . Karim blasted through the kitchen door in a black raincoat and ha tily lammed the door shut. He was Kobas' on, but he and Tollie thought of each other a brothers. Karims' white lip cracked hi u ual broad smile. The protest action wa gaining momentum and the two mavericks eagerly peculated on the success it should have. Almost everybody in the area was involved and rumour had it that Mitchell' Plain wa also planning to protest. The inhuman weather had put a damper on spirit but today wa the day of the eie tion and everybody seemed ju t a little angrier than y terday. Tollie was not keen to take part, but Karim and he had always done things together and he could not desert him now.

Everyone hoped that they would succeed in convincing the police that the prate t was going to be peaceful. The clerics never returned, but were wisked away in an arnloured vehicle. A terrible ilence fell across the gathering. The police again i ued a warning, a final warning to di per e. oboely moved a muscle and the familiar tune was sung agai.n. Tollie and Karirn began making their way home. A bright light uddenly illuminated the entire cene a the flare catapuJted higher and higher. Tear ga canistors and riot police de cended on the crowd like a net and the whine of rubber bullets creamed in the ears. But they were surrounded. A bewildered Tollie could not ee anything but chao . Light and ound amalgamated into one feeling of horror a the trap became smaller. The cene became darker again as the flare burnt out and dark fOm1s couJd just be seen printing in all directions. Tollie did not know how he arrived home again. The house seemed cold and Karim did not arrive.

"Was it a burglar?" he asked himself. Even if it wa , there wa nothing down there to steal except Fido' dog food and a couple of log used during winter for fire-wood; and there wa no way into the house from the basement, because the door wa locked from inside the kitchen and whatever was inside must have climbed through the window above Fido's box. John contemplated the idea of waking his father but going all the way back in the dark and facing the risk of bmising his knee against the coffee table again, didn't appeal to him. SO he dedded to be brave and go and find out for himself what wa making the noise. Slowly, ever so slowly, John tip-toed to the door leading to the basement. He could hear the sound much more clearly now, but this time the burglar was obviou ly breaking up the wood, which was dry and rotten, becau e the sound had changed to a crunching one. john topped dead in his tracks. The ound had stopped. "The burglar heard me!" he thought. The crunching started again, but this time more vigorously than before. John thought of running to hi room and pulling the covers over his head, but what if the thief did break in and teal hi television? What would he do after school without it? john decided to see what was making the noise. Slowly he turned the handle and unlocked the door. He was perspiring freely and his leg were shaking. He wung open the door and shone the flash-light right into Fido's eyes, who by this time had jumped half-way across the floor with fright, almost tripping over the torn dog food packet that he had ripped open to get at his favourite meal.

"Could it have been my imagination?" John thought. He wasn't sure. He tried to get back to leep, but couldn't. The sense of fear one gets when expecting omething frightening, kept coming back to him. He decided to make himself a cup of hot chocolate to calm hi nerve, and tip-toed to the kitchen, carrying a flash-Light so as not to distrub hi parents, who were in the next room, by witching on the Lights.

There i no question about it. However, this act of providing a ufferer with an incurable di ease of an ea y way and painless death, i een by ome narrow-minded, elfi h individuals a a contradiction of God's will. I fail to under tand the reasoning behind their argument. First, let us think of the individual, namely the suffering patient. If you found that after walking long distances, your legs ached foran en ti re week, yOll would not walk so far. If one of your hoes gave you terrible bli ter, you would not wear it. In both cases, something i cau ing you pain and you are not enjoying yourself because of thi . The sufferer is in exactlv the ame situation. He has found that breathing éause hin1 pain, that life is an agonizing experience. You saved yourself from additional uffering by separating yourself from the source of discomfort. Surely the sufferer ha the ame right to end hi pain, the pain of living? Let u now focu our thoughts on the patient's family. Imagine that, upon entering the hospital ward, you find your uffering relative. A system of rubber piping tretches from hi mouth and che t to an informal computer, monitoring his blood pre ure, heartbeat and breathing. His sickly body i pumped full of drugs and he i hardly aware of your presence. Do you think that he is enjoying life, de pite the efforts of the medical taff to increa e his life pan? Wouldn't you, as a family member, wish that his feverish truggle again t an inevitable death \vould come to an end?

THE ART OF MAKING EXCUSES lna society ucha ours, packed with the pre sure of hool life and the ob e ion to do well on the port field, many young men are drained mentallyand phy ically by the time they have dragged their batt red frame into the anctuary of th ir home. There they will lick their wound and make a dcsperat attempt to r build their egos and defences for the following day at chool. lt i at precisely this p int that a good excu e would come in hand . The rea n i obviou after a hectic da of battling again t their peer in all pheres of school life, they are just unable to gath r their wit about th m and tart ploughing through the mountains of homework. Of cour, ,to p rfect the art of making excuse., you must first study the oPPO ition carefully and recogni e th ir trength' and weakne . Al 0 take into account the fact that they li ten tand ign re counties fairly con incing e cuses every day.

You must have omething really different up your leeve 0 a to catch the teacher off guard. But, at the ame time the excu must be credible in the eves of the teacher. For example, you could sa that ",.,hile cultivating viruse in you refrigerator you accidentally 'xpo d yourself to th content fat t tube and w r quaranteencd in your kit hen for the whole night, thu being unable to do your homework.

craft to drug addicts and were kept up all night by an emergency. Of course, you must throw the correct excuses at the correct teachers and never drop your guard, otherwi e the teacher may just catch wind of your ploy. rn conclusion, 1 must add that pupils cannot expect to be successful in their endeavours with excuses W1less they have had practice, so my advice would be to start slowly and build up to more important matters over a period of time. C. Nairn, Std 9 GEE V1R HOM 'N KANS Toe hy nog' n kind was, het hy sy lewe baie geniet. Daar was nie veel ornhom besig te hou nie en dus het hy dikwels y eie speelgoed ontwerp. Hy het 'n klein sfeer ontwerp en hy het baie daarmee gespeel. "Die sfeer moet vriende hê," het hy gedink; anders sal hulle eensaam wees, soos hy dikwels is. En toe maak hy duisende en duisende sfere, wat vriende van die eer te sfeer sal wees. Maar hy kon sien dat die sfere gou verveeld geraak het en dus het hy besluit hy gaan elke sfeer anders maak. Hy vat een sfeer en hy gooi rooi and daaroor. Hy vat nog een en omring hom met gas en wolke sodat die ander sfere nie kan sien wat op sy oppervlak gebeur nie. Toe hy by die laaste sfeer kom, weet hy nie hoe om d it te versier nie. Skielik weet hy presies wat hy gaan doen. Hy gaan dié sfeer spesiaal maak: 'n Meesterstuk. Hy het begin om die mooi te dinge te ontwerp. Hy maak lande en water en op die lande plaas hy and en plante. Al sy gun teling goed het hy op die pesiale sfeer ge it. Hy was o trots op sy kunswerk dat hy begin het om net met hom te speel. Hy het groter en ouer geword, maar het nog steeds met die sfeer gespeel. Hy het soveel van die sfeer gehou dat hy hom wou verbeter. Hy het besluit om sy nuutste uitvinding op die sfeer te it. Hy het klein diere ontwerp soos rue diere waarvan hy elke nag droom. Hy het hulle op die feer gesit en hulle het ko en energie gekry van die plante wat reeds daar wa . Toe begin hy hom jammer te voel vir homself, want hy wou altyd met diere speel. Hy het dus sy beste uitvinding voorgestel. Hy het vir dui ende jare gedroom en beplan en nou kan hy y uitvinding toets. Hy het twee mense gemaak wat net 00 hy was. Die een was manlik en die ander wa vroulik. Hy het twee gemaak, want hy weet hoe eensaam die lewe, alJeen, kan wees. Hy wou dat die mense hulle eie besluite moet neem en dus moet hy nie ook vir hulle dink ook nie. Die men e op die feer het begin om hulle eie mening te vorm en dit wa nie goed nie. Hulle het

Hulle het gereproduseer, maar rue uitslag wa dat hulle ook in dieselfde dinge as hulle ouers geglo het. Hy was baie teleurgesteld, want hy wou hê dat rue mense in hom moet glo en hom moet prys. Hy wou hê dat die mense hulle lewe met hom sou deel. Hy het al sy tyd aan hulle bestee, maar hulle het hulle eie pad gekies. Toe gee hy hulle nog 'n kans en hy ontwerp 'n man wat in hom glo en hy sou die ander mense beïnvloed. Hulle sou almal dan na hom kom en hulle lewens deel. Dit was nie 0 nie. Die mense wat na hom gekom het, het maar net 'n rukkie later weer hulle eie pad gekies. Hy het nog steeds baie gesorg vir die sfeer en die mense daarop en hy wou hê dat hulle almal vir ewig met kom sou leef. Hy het hulle weer 'n kans gegee. Hy het 'n spesiale mens ontwerp en hom sy eun genoem. Hy het sy eun na die feer gestuur om al die mense te oortuig dat hulle hul lewens met hom en sy vader moet deel. Sommige mense het nie verslaan nie, maar baie het na die seun geluister. Hy wa bly, maar nog nie heeltemal tevrede nie. Daar wa nog baie mense wat nie geglo het 59

WHERE THE SUNLIGHT IS Caspian had been riding through the lusciou green forests of j orwal for three day and he \...,a beginning to feel the effects of fatigue on his mortal frame. It was only the ense that his quest wa nearing an end that made him continuou!>ly urge hi tiring teed forward. As evening approached Caspian began to watch for a place where h could pend the night. He had not gone far when he came across a clearing in the fore t ju t off the beaten track. It appeared to be the perfect place to set up camp, with plentyofwoodforafircanda trcamnearb from which to drink. Dismounting from hi teed, Ca 'pian began to pack his load into a hollow rock, taking great care not to damage the Magical Medallion of Maverick. The power of this medallion

pian off his guard and inking its viciou fang into his left arm. With a cry of agony that ent birds flocking, Ca pian hurled the creature away from him, tearing off the sleeve of his garment as he did so. Spinning around, Caspian faced the Rubicon. Caspian's los of blood had caused his reflexes to become numb and now he lunged at the Rubicon to no avail, merely slicing through the air where it had been a few moments before. Aware that his physical abilities were now greatly handicapped, Caspian' mind began to work feverishly, trying to recall all that he could about Rubicons and their weaknesse , if indeed they had any. How could he overcome this creature of darknes ? Oarkne ! Of course, that was it! The only way to de troy it was to expo e it to direct sunlight. Again the Rubicon charged. 111i time, instead of side-stepping, Caspian stood his ground, turning at the la t moment, his left arm hanging limply at his ideo This time the Rubicon sank it's enormous fangs into the useles arm. Atthatsame momentCa pian brought his right arm over, trapping the beast. A searing pain was rushing through his left shoulder a Caspian staggered towards the few remaining trands of sunlight which were fa t disappearing behind the hills. Ca pian finally reached the preciou light, the source of victory. There he fell, hi body racked with pain and jerking spa modically yet still rejoicing - victory was his. Terrified by the light that it was being exposed to the Rubicon released it's hold upon Caspian's arm. It screeched in agony as it made a futile attempt to escape from this ource of torment. Finally, with a cryofdefeat and agony thecreature exploded, showering Caspian with fur. A he lay there dying, Caspian noticed the medallion was beginning to pulsate with light and energy. The pulsating became more and more intensified and power urged from it toCaspian' limp body, renewing it with trength and vitality, healing it's broken frame. Revived, Ca pian arose, confident now that nothing could prevent him from completing his que t, he had won the approval of the magical medallion. T. Flint, Std 9

alone was worth more than aLi the gold in the Kingdom of Quron. It warmed Caspian' heart ju t to think of all the good it would do for his people. But Caspian wa well aware, too, of all the great evil that could be done if the medallion was to fall into the wrong hands, for he, Caspian of orwal, had been appointed to ensure its safe pa age to his people, and he was made to undertand its full ignificance and power. Once unloaded, Caspian et about the ta kof preparing his meal. It was while doing this that a strange feeling that he was being watched crept over him. Cautiously he looked up. Before him stood a mall creature, roughly the ize of a hertzwozzol. Its attention seemed to be focused entirely on the food that lay at Caspian's feet. Picking up a piece of meat Ca pian tossed it toward the creature. The meat wa immediately devoured by the little animal, which then proceeded to tuck in all it limbs and go into what eemed to be a state of hibernation. Slowly Ca pianapproacheditandju ta hewasabouttotouch it omething made him jerk his hand back. There wa a niggling in the back of his mind that this little bali of fur wa not all that it seemed. Hadn't he heard omething about these mall creatures in the tavern that he had frequented during his journey? Ye , of course, they were called Rubicons; creatures who lived like parasite and bent on ruling the whole of the Quron Empire. It all tarted many generation ago when, owing to their ize, the pro-magon Rubicons had been di criminated against and very poorly treated. ow they were worn to avenge their forefathers and rule the Empire at all cost. In hort, they were utterly ruthless. Ca pian broke into a cold weat. Wa this Rubicon aware that he was carrying the Magical Medallion of the Maverick? Caspian prayed to his god of protection that it did not. The god had obviously gone on a journey that day, for at that moment the Rubicon sprang like an unleashed coiled pring at aspian's throat. Ca pian' reflexes went into overdrive and he side- tepped out of the way at the last po ible moment. The Rubicon landed behind him and rolled back to it feet. Snarling, it approached him as Caspian drew hi weapon. Then it sprang again, catching Cas-

HOUSE REPORTS Our thanks also goes to Mr De Waal and the other House masters for their support during the year.

DE WAAL HOUSE Captain: C Pearse A Badenhorst,S Butler, B Currie, T Committee: Flint, SLavery After a few vears in the doldrwns, De Waal has achieved better re ults this year. At the beginning of the year we et ourselve the goal of having more of the house-members involved in the activities and this is the reason for our improved performances. To date we have done particularly well at swimming, rugby, water polo and debating. A feature of the other competition was that, where we did not win, the house was well placed. As a result, wc expect to come very close to winning the Inter-house competition this year. The new pirit in the hou e and greater level of participation can largely be attributed to the enthusiasm of the House Committee. It has also been most encouraging to see the number of junior member in the house who have taken the lead in succes fully organising the junior team.

RHODES fter an excellent previou year, Rhodes House faltered this year in the Friedlander hield interhou e competition. But although they may not have won all their events, the "Red Devils" certainly appeared to enjoy thelllSelve immensely. And although they were not on top, spirit ran high, especially during the Inter-Hou<;e tIlletics meeting and in upport of the debatll1g compelition (in which were narrowly beaten into ~e ond 68

place). There i a greatdepth oflatent talent in the House, especially among the juniors, and also in events of a less sporting nature, and Rhodes can look forward to being in contention for the Shield in the near future. As long as the spirit and support continue to be as good as they have been in the past, the boys in the House will enjoy themselves, no matter how they fare in the competition. S.M.

WELLINGTON

The spirit of Wellington House has been high this year. A special word of thanks must go to Mr Cross, for all the hard work he has put into the house. Under House Captain Thomas McKewan and the reliable house committee of Mark McClery, Andrew Wylie, Patrick Walton and Grant Pureveen, Wellington started this year weil. Good participation by everybody saw Wellington winning the Athletics. Athletes like C Prins, M Pfister, G Pfister and G Pureveen excelled, to ensure our win. Second places in the One-Act plays, water polo and swimming gala saw Wellington to the top. The e results were understandable as Wellington is well represented in the school's water polo and swimming teams. Wellington was privileged to have had many of the schools top actors and special mention must be made of Patrick Walton. On the academic side of the house, we have not fared too well. However, excellent academic achievements by lan Liddie and Bastian Ruwiel have kept the blue flag flying. T.M.

' Sports Day, held ona Saturday for the hr ttime was won by Wellington after' a very involved sy tem ofheats. Thi proved to be very succes ful. At the Peninsula Schools Championship we ~nce again fi~ished econd.

It was a very long, successful sea on, mainly due to the fine work done by the coaches Mi Fa sier, Miss Galpin, r ienaber, Mr Kriel, Mr van Rooyen, Mr a Reilly, Mr Moore and Mr Hill. The only blemish was that Mark Pfister, the finest hurdler Wynberg has ever produced, wa not chosen for the W,P team, even though he qualified for the S,A. Championships.

S Woodley attended 20 practices in the second term and P Daly had the be l attendance in the third term. The best attendances for the season were achieved by P Daly (24), R Elliott (24) and S Wood ley (25). This year, the Bruce Clark Cup goes to R Elliott for the most improved player of the season.

1ST XI CRICKET It really ha been a pleasure coaching the First XI over the last few years and this team has continued the trend.

S de Meuter An attractive attacking batter who hould have earned bigger scores. A little too adventurou at times as he likes to attack without moving his feet properly.

bo ch - the first 100 by a Wynberg 1st xl player ince Paddy Upton against Plumstead in 1984. Aubrey Martyn is developing into a first rate operung bowler - what a pity that his injury will put him out for the season. Bruce Sharp showed his class in all departments of the game and was a valuable member of the side. We haven't seen the best of Shahl de Mcuter yet as he still has to prove hi consistency at 1st Xl level. Craig Turvey is still itching for hi first fifty in the 1st Xl. Possibly the most pleasing feature of the side was their exciting, aggre ive fielding. Sharp's groundfielding, Martyn's throwing, Hold tock's catch against Grey, thewalking in, the backing up - aU this was of high standard. An added bonus wa that the fielding award at the Cape Schools Week in East London was awarded to Wynberg. A memorable aspect of the season has been the support of our parent. A convoy of parents drove up to East London to support their sons and their positive pre ence h'a appreciated. Mrs Wylie and her helpers have gone out of their way with the lunches and teas- thanks for the unsung role!

CTurvey !-le still owes us a big score. Although still a little susceptible to the a\·vay winger, he is a technically sound batsman. A lack of confidence inhibits his nmning between wickets. He is a sound wicket-keeper but will have to put more work in if he wi hes to ucceed in this department. M Forbes A classy bat - e pecially on the front foot. ot too good against the short of length ball, a he moves hi back foot acro s the line. His bowling has been disappointing. evertheless, a mo t talented cricketer. S Sharp Another talented cricketer whose big drawback has been momentary lapses of concentration. He has scored runs against the best. His late inducker in his bowling ha earned him many wickets. As a fielder he is without peer.

Critique of 1st XI Players AWylie Adetermined batsman with good balance. He has a wide range of shot and runs well between wickets. An intelligent off- pin bowler who is let down occa ionally by erratic flight.

SLavery He i good on the front foot but usceptible to anything hart or wide of off-stump. A keen fielder who never gives up trying. 75

The ide has potential, but we need to find self-confidence in our play. I believe that with the growth of our younger players, the team should develop into a useful side. I look forward to the next season. My thanks go to Murray John on for the way in which he has performed his duties as captain and to the many parents who supported so faithfully throughout the season. D.R.

2ND XI CRICKET After an encouraging start to the season which we began with a match against St Josephs College, when we recorded a convincing win, the team battled to find a consistent form. The side contained several younger players out of the Under 15 league, and a lack of self-confidence was evident, particularly with regard to the team's batting. David Askew developed well as an opening bowler, but was rather incon istent. The opening attack failed too often to get the necessary breakthrough to contain a big score. Heron bowled weU at times, and Murray Johnson hawed himself to be a reliable first change bowler with his varied medium pacers. Our batting improved as the season progressed, but an inability on the part of the top-order batsmen to occupy the crease led to the team failing to score big totals. Revington showed good form towards the end of the term as an opener - technically he is a sound player. John Bayly started off the season aggressively and was deservedly promoted to the 1 t team. our middle order consisting of Chester, Campbell and Johnson all had their moments, but too often failed at the critical stage - often giving away their wicket recklessly.

3RD XI CRICKET As was the case last year, the 3rd XI can look back with prideon a verysuccessfuJ sea on. To date we have only lost one match. The players are very enthusiastic and enjoy their cricket immensely. They have been ably led by Mark Drew who seems to have the knack of getting the best out of his players. The team's success has largely been due to the efforts of our bowlers. Examples are Grant Clark 4--23 (vs Bishops) and 4--26 (vs Plumstead) and Dean Scorey 4-33 (vs Rondebosch) and 4--33 (vs Pinelands). At times our batting proved a little brittle but some good scores were recorded eg Paul Revington 40 (vs Rondebosch) Gary Korck 38 N.O. (vs Pinelands) Eric Rowbery 50 .0. (vs Old Boys) Alistair Bailey 36 (vs Plumstead) Paul Wilson 39(vs Old Boys) 77

ment and, although the boys were comprehensively outplayed by a strong 15A side from Groote Schuur in the first match of the eason, they bounced right back, beating Rondebosch by 4{) nms the following week. They narrowly lost la Bishops by one wicket and held out bravely against orman Henshilwood lSA to force a draw. Phillips and Lind opened the batting, while Laubser, Grobbelaar, LiddIe, Moir, van Heerden and Duncan-Smith all weighed in with the bat at some tage of the season. The most effective bowlers were Galloway, Roff, Van Heerden and Cyprianos. Re ults: r W L D

Bowditch, Askew, Patton and Van Eys en were the most successful of the bowlers. The team were unbeaten against local sd1001s, but lost narrowly to the touring St Andrews College team after being well in control for most of the game. 1989: With five of the previous year's U14A team either remaining in the U14 group or no longer being available, the Under 15A team of 1989 looked to be one of the weakest teams for some years. They have, neverthele s, worked hard. The fielding has improved considerably, the bowling i of a high tandard and it is only the suspect batting which has let the team down again t the other top schools. The team was a follows: A Whitehead (C), M Munro (V-C), R Browne, KSutheriand, G Mulholland, Hudson, M Turvey, A Whitehead, C Schultz, S Marais, A Wright, C Willoughby and T Good. The most succe sful bowlers were Wright, WiUoughby and Turvey with Marais and Hudson providing good back-up. Results: P W L D 12

UNDER 14A CRICKET

The hallmarks of the 1989 team were the extremely tight bowling and keen fielding. This enabled us to put pressure on our opponents and force them into playing rash shots. In the first game of the year, Rondebo ch cored 137, but after that match no team scored over 91 against us. Kallis was by far the most consistent batsman, with Era mus and Verdon weighing in occasionally. West and Ka liis shared the bulk of the wickets, but Erasmus bowled con istently and improved a great deal. Mid1ael Fletcher captained the side well. Re ults: P W L 0

UNDER 1SH CRJCKET The U15B Cricket XI had a most disappointing season. They played 7 games losing all but three. The opening match, played against Bergvliet U15A, expo ed many of the team's weakne se . The team struggled against fast bowling, failing to get in line with the ball. They gave awa too many runs in the field and dropped too many catches. The bowler did not manage to maintain their line and length throughout an innings. Toward the end of the innings the Captain normally lost control of his team with many of the fielders out of position. Fortunately, the team did practise well and ended the eason with fine wins against orman Henshilwood and Durbanville. The team has a good batsmen in Mark Aaron and Trevor Good; three talented bowler in Bradley Dixon, Andrew Pegge and Shane McMaster; and a determined all-rounder in Dean Mc orn1ick.

HOCKEY 1989 Wynberg entered eventeen teams in the \'ariou' league, this eason, and won or drew eventythree per cent of the games.

The team went on two tou r - to the FOltnders Fe tival in Bloemfontein during the April holiday!>and to the Ascension Tournament in Durban over the A ension weekend. Both tournament were extremely enjoyable, although we never really played well. The team did not dlange much in compo ition during the a n, and comprised mo tly of matri . Only David A kew managed to force his way into the team. The team lost seven matches out of the thirty played, all by the odd goal. Our short-corner record, both defensive and attacking, wa not very good. A plu!>factor wa that fifty-four of the sIxty-four goals oroo were created by field play.

1ST HOCKEY XI In many way the 19 9 ea on wa a successful one. Winning the Puma Knockout Cup for the first time wa obviously a very definite mea ure of thi success. However, more plea ing than this \ as the fact that the team attempled to play attractive hockey at all times, and ucceeded tn doing so a great deal of the time. Over the ea on the team played consi tently bul struggled to reach and maintain the tandard of which the were capable. They played their best hockey again t Kearsne College in Durban, and then again, rather forunately, in their Puma Cup matches. Only in these matches did the team, a a whole, play really well. 19 9 wiU be remembered as the year an artifiCIalgra~ pItch wa laId in Cape Town. The Wyn84

However, we beat them 3-2 and 2-1 in return games. The final goal taJly was 3-l goals for and 14 goals against. The fourth team developed into a good pirited side. They were led by icholas Buchanan and "alii" alii and were only bettered by Rondebosch in their league. T1leir goal tally wa 41 for and 21 against. Well done, chap! CB.M.

5TH and 6TH HOCKEY XI'S Both the 5th and 6th side had a good 19 9 ea on. The team spirit in both teams was high and all matches were keenly conte ted. The Sixth uffered from the lack of an experienced goalkeeper, but Kurt il en's performance in the goal mouth improved throughout the season. oteworthy performances were produced by B van der PoU,) Kipling, S Catto and 0 Burger. Special thanks to M Taberner who volunteered to play goalkeeper for the 5th for the season and who in 'pired and marshalled his teammates from the back.

7TH HOCKEY XI The Seventh Hockey team had a relatively ucces ful eason this year by compari on with 198 , notching up3 wins and 2drawsout ofl0 matches. Wings Evans, Tamlin and Munday, inners Small and Pelton and centre-forward Ro ouw combined their efforts to core 19 goals all told. But the fair result were quite a much to the credit of the hardworking halve (Galheto, Kemp, Friedland and Secchia), backs (Kennedy, Levin, Pead) and goalie (Pead, Slabber and van Ey en). Succe would certainly have been far greater if players had avoided the very short and the traight-through pa and instead given longer pa e to unmarked players, and used the squarethrough to go around the opposition. Kemp and Small are to be thanked for their captain' role. O.B.

2ND HOCKEY XI Thi ide played hockey of a very high standard. Under the leadership of Marc Gordon, the team exhibited remarkableapplication to the game and tremendou team pirit. David Askew,)ocl Merris and Paul Wil on upplied the forwards with ample pos e ion. T1le team enjoyed majority pos e sion and territorial advantage in all their games, but failed to score as many goal as they could have. A memorable win was against Paul Roo

(11-1).

We only conceded 7 Goals all ea on. Top goalscorers were: Miles Worling (lO), Brenton Heron (9), Simon Rogers (7). Re uit : P WOL GF GA 14 12 2 0 50 7

The inability to practise owi.ng to the wet weather and Liam Beattie' broken arm did not help matters. The team was I..nocked out of the indoor competition largely a a re 'ult of not having a goalkeeper. During the final (.;15 hockey tournament the team wa knocked out by Plum tead in a penalty _hootout. They were the only team not concede a goal or lose a game. The team emerged at the end of ptember a a group of good portsmen who had the nec~!>ary ball skills, tactical knowledge and a love of the game.

UNDER lSC HOCKEY Team pirit waslow in Ihe UISC hockeyteam this year, and it took almo t all cason before anything improved. However, a handful of dependable team member made the game wortIn hill'. The goal-keeper, tuarl Anderson, is commended for his con i tent hard work. L.M.G.

UNDER 15 D and E HOCKEY We began the cason with a D team and a fe\ e,lra players, bul Lhen, for rea ons unknown, we gained enough player to field an E team as well - though it was difficult to find opponents of imilar strength. The D team, though they frequently lo t extabfished key players to the higher teams, acquitted them lve well, especially atth beginning of the season. The E team were unfortunately, outcia cd by opponent of superior strength. A feature of the ea on was the large number of games cancelled b our opponents ( in all). This was most disappointing a it is difficult to keep team pirit alive with period of two or three weeks between matchcs. P.E.D.

UNDER lSB HOCKEY The 19 9 UISB hockey team completed a very succe f1.ll unbeaten sea on. Of the 14 games played, 11 were won, 3 \-':ere drawn and 0 lo!>t. Wynberg scored 56 goab, with 10 agam t. The UlSB' ucce. reflected their enthusia ti team pirit, coupled with competent skill!>.Both 8

scored goal, as did Dreyer who cored a remarkable reverse stick flick goal again. t Bergvliet which he won't forget in a hurry. Sa\"age and Berning did weU on the left side of the attack, while Van der Westhuizen, who started off a right haU, was the find of the season at right wing. All in aU it wa a most succes ful and enjoyable season. S.L.B.

UNDER 14A HOCKEY The UI4 A enjoyed a ucc~sful sea on in which they learnt, hopefully, nol only lhe basic tactics and skill~ ofhocke ,but also that hockey i a team game. The team improved in every aspect of the game as the c.,ca~onha~ progressed. TI1echerry on the top wa~ winmng the Indoor Trophy at the end of the -.eason. The Goalkeeper, Alan Lipp, played with confidence and abilit . Mark Pronk and Bmce Cowling were the t\'\10 backs, Jason Heath howed promi ing flair at nght half, with S\·en Thoresen and Jil on Bayly tackling with detennination on the left. The defensive record of the side speak:, for itself with only 3 teams coring again t u this cason. reter Bly th's upport play ensured that he wa the side's leading goalscorer. Grant Ruffel, Brandon van der Westhui7en and Mark Sccchia were our strikers - all • howed thmst and speed and were alway::. a threat to oppo ition defenders. )osh Que::.nell and Warren Mathews acted as link:, and arc fa t learning that hockey is a game of accurate, pin-point passing. Andrew Dreyer wa in the Indoor Squad and also played many games for the A team. The attitude and approach of this U14 ide will en ure that Wynberg hockey remains a force in the years ahead.

UNDER 14 C AND D HOCKEY These teams enjoyed success often during the season in spite of playing in the Band C leagues re pectively. The boys practised \·vell and, by the end of the season, were playing attractive hockey. Thomas, Fennes y, Savage and Robinson deserved their promotion to the B team during the ea on and there was always keen competition for places in the C team. Fennessy and Iloppe captained the respective sides well, leading by example. The ide 'records speak for themselves. Goal scorers were: U14C: Robinson 01), Evans (9), Browell (4), Fennessy (3), Savage (3), Bcautement (2), A Clark (2), Baxter (I), Jewell 0), Patterson (1) U140: Patterson (11), Robinson (3), Hoppe (2), Savage (2), Priday (1), H RusselI (1) Full credIt must go to the four defender, an Druten and Barnard of the C team, and MooIenschot and Hoppe of the 0 team for providing a solid defence again t which very few goal were cored. In this they were ably as i ted by the goalkeepers who always tried their best and improved considerably a the eason progre !>ed. The goalkeeping was hared by Rowe (who moved to the B' early on), Meuwe e, Freytag and Smilb1eek. L.M.

RUGBY 1989 ye,lr ago and there ha been no increase in the minor injuries !>uffered by rugby players. TIle outh African Rugby Board is con idering changes to rule to bring about more safety, first aid is infinitely better organized than it used to be at school level, while coaching and training i more scientific than it used to be.

Rugby at Wynberg i!, generally healthy and of il high ..tandard. There were 22 tearns at Wynberg thi year of whom 18 played aturday fl.xtures and four played midweek fi\tures. There were twenty full-time coaches of whom seven were 5tudent5 (6 Old Boys), all ofwhom gaveup a great deal of time and energy in en uring the smooth pas age of the ea50n. The accent in coaching wa on teaching the boys skills and promoting enjoyment of the game. Our viewpoint is that rugby is a great game with important educational value and we expect our bOy5 to be competitive and to try their best. But, at the end of the day, it remain a game and the pirit in which the games are played and the enjoyment obtained are of prime importance. This year has seen continual near-hysterical attacks on rugby in the media with tremendou publicity given to rugby injuries. There has been an increa e in the numb r of pinal and neck inJunes which is alarming, although the number een again t the total number of people playing rugby i extremely mail. 1 am ure that rugby i no harder or more competitive than it was 25 90

By following the above statement and under the excellent leader hip of John Greenacre this team became the 2nd XV \'\'ith the best win -Ioc;e record in the 19 Q's.

UNDER 19E RUGBY The 19 9 fifth team maintained the traditional approach of the "Fighting Fifth, u - to play good, clean rugby inspired by fine team pirit. Captain Mark Ross led with enthu iasm and dedication, and his players responded with loyal practice attendance and a most pleasing cOlllmitment in matche~. Co-coach Dean Codden bustled about the field with Mother Hen enthusia Ill, and players jealously guarded their membership of the Fifth. A \o\'eJcomeaddition was the number of previou" ly reluctant recruits. Practice concentrated on skill, tackling and running mgby also on a move called "Curious"! Wins outweighed lo es, and there were no injuries. Player were: Viljoen, Woodbine, Perkins, Donald, Mi.len, HaU, Coet.lee, Harvey, Roos, Ross, Doidge, Abbott, Webner, Fudge, Wolf, Tielsen.

The ea on kicked off again::.t a Rondebosch XV, a miltch played with rare enthu ia m a we trundled to a 24-4 victory against a urprised opponent.

Any position which fell vac(lnt wa summarily filled ,lnd when the team wa~ convened man hopefuls attended the pre-match brief. The boy played five matche , winning three and graciously allowing our opponent to win two return game. The team was ably captained by Chuck Webner, wbo then pa sed the mantle of re pon ibility on to Bertram. The latter di pla ed rare talent in organising the team and inculcating a fine "'plrit of por~man hip. The experiment was mo t successful a the pool wa::.drawn upon ~o heavily by the fifth team that only a bare handful of players wa left at the close of th <jeaon. My sincere thanks to the pupil who \0 illingI. volunteered and enjoyed the hort, splendid ~ea~on.

UNDER 19D RUGBY The 4th rugby team played very attractive rugby this year. This wa due to the fact that thev ran the bali 'weil and played a a team.

sea on they had all improved their skills and were enjoying their rugby. The team wa wel1led by teven van Rhyn and enjoyed a lot of parent upport. Many thank to the parent for their \'villingnes to help with transport when asked. J.de.W.

UNDER 16A RUGBY The Under 16A rugby team had a good eason with ome memorable moments. The player were keen and attended practices regularly and developed a fine team spirit. An example of this spirit \Vas Andrew Hibling's cancellation of hvo weeks of his oversea holiday so as not to let his idedown. As a coach I can hone tlv sav that thi was one of the most enjoyable rugby e;sons I havee perienced. There i a lot of talent and potential among t the players. I do hope they will continue to play rugby and enjo the game. I am looking forward to seeing good performance by them in the future. Finally, I wish to thank all the parent who supported their boys and provided lift when needed. 1 can as ure them that the boy appreciated their upport. J.v.R.

UNDER 16 C AND D RUGBY The 19 9 rugby ea on for the Under 16 C and D group wa a memorable one. They will be remembered as a very friendly and happy group of rugby players. The boy enjoyed the rugby the played and a number of the boy pla ed with a very enthusiastic attitude. A the eason progre sed a number of boys topped playing rugby and the C team began to struggle during the econd half of the eason. The D team played mid-week games, and here I could ee that they enjoyed the odd social game. I! was pleasing to see that there were alway pupil (who were always) willing to offer time to play in the midweek matche . I wish to thank the parents who always upported their ons on Saturday morning. Your on really appreciated your presence. P.K.

UNDER 16B RUGBY At the beginning of the season it became obviou that wc lacked depth and talent in certain po ition . The ituation grew wor e wh n we were "eriou ly hit by injuries during the ea on. As a result, the team did not enjoy great success in tem1S of re ult. This does not, howe\'er, reflect the determination with which the team pla ed during the ea on. Although we only won 5 matche!>,we \ ere only outc1a ed by our oppo ition in the two matche against Bishops and Paul Roo . The rest of the matches were lost by very mall margin. Full marks to all th boy who practi ed and played with such dediclltion. By the end of the

UNDER15 RUGBY One of the contributing factors to the general inconsi tency in the Under 15 divi ion was a lack of commitment on the part of certain player . Rugb , it mu t be remembered, i a team game pla ed b fifteen players who need the uppor! of one anolher. Once thi sen e of playing together 97

some fine victorie, nota bly against Rondebosch, Paarl Gym and Bishop. The E team played regularly during the week again t Bi hops and SACS. Poor tackling and lack-lustre play often resulted in unnecessary lo ses for the teams. Finally, a word of thanks to all parents who so faithfully supported u and provided tran port when needed. D.R. and M.L.

for the team and not for the individual can be reali d, then thegamecan be played and enjoyed to the full. The A team was ably captained by Barry Herbert whose untiri.ng efforts both on and off the field were much appreda ted. We were affected by injuries at the beginning of the eason, but this did not dismpt the spirit and determination with which we played. The forwards developed into a powerful unit a the season progressed and, in particular, r hould like to mention Gavin Pfister, Charl Badenhor t and Barry Herbert who must rate as one of the be t loose forward trios in the school at the moment. All the forward played a significant role in many of our matche ,and Riddian Davies deserves pedal mention for hi consistently hard driving and solid crumming. The backs ran well, towards the end of the sea on, but an inabiUty to cros the advantage line resulted in few trie . I should like to thank Warren Fi h for hi help. I haveenjoyed working with thesideand I wi h the team well i.n the years ahead. The B team di played courage and determi.nation and most pleasing wa the re uit of the return match against SACS in which we turned the tables, winning comfortably. The ide tried hard, but a lack of commitment on the part of some player led to poor results. Werner van Kets led the ide very well. The ide will have to \ ork on their ba ic if they are to develop in the years to come. The Under lSC, Dalld E teams tmggJed at the beginning of the ea on, but eventually developed i.nto highly pirited teams. Mo t players in the C team improved a the ea on progressed and thi actually resulted in the team achieving

UNDER 14 RUGBY This eason's Under 14 divi ion had a very successful sea on with the top three sides losing only 4 game. The sea on' highlight was the Under 14A victory against Grey College U14A. Thi.s division has a pool of talent that runs through to the E ide and, if looked after weU, could become a division that would do the school proud. The mnning nlgby that the boys played made for attractive play and the number of tries scored reflects this. The attitude of the boys towards the port was alway very positive and they responded very well to the coaching. lt was a pleasure to work with them.

UNDER 14A RUGBY This is a very talented side and they overpowered most of their opposi tion. The forwa rds are powerful and -ecured abundant good ball for the backs. lt wa only again t Paarl Gym, when the forwards were outplayed by a much bigger pack of forward, that the ide could not di play their u ual 98

attractive rugby. Against Grey College they showed true character and played determined rugby to beat a previously unbeaten side. BLeary, G Kennedy, R Walker and J Malan always played verv well, while Kalis showed his tremendous talént. M Tur\'ey and Petter on aLo stood out amongst this talented group.

UNDER 14D RUGBY This side always played attractive rugby and showed character in the way they played against stronger sides. They reacted positively to coaching and \.vere a happy bunch both on and off the field. D Wilson, PHoffman, D Steer., and B Mawisa always played well.

UNDER 14B RUGBY

UNDER 14E RUGBY

This ide showed their talent by beating many an A team. Under the capable leadership of Dirk Grobbelaar, they played determined rugby and this was born out by their courageous performance against uwe Iloërskool Kraaifontein A. Team Players who were prominent in this group were D Murray, W Love, GWcst, . Thomas and L Era mus.

These players had an enjoyable season, exhibited great enthusiasm and showed much promise for the future. Clark, Parkin, Purdy, Lundy and HilI always played well.

UNDER 13 A & B RUGBY The Under 13 A and B had an enjoyable rugby season. The A team in parncular developed a lot of spirit and lo t matches only to Settlers and Rondebosch. The team was well captained by Carl Scott. Mr Dave William mu t be thanked for helping to coach the backs, who improved with each match. The Under Thirteen had too few players to field a B team and had to make use of Under 14 players. Both the Under 13A and B teams played the majority of their matches again t Under 1-1sides, which must beseen asa positive investment in courage and experience. r feel confident that this group of Under Thirteens will form part of a strong Under 14 section next year. A.C.C.

UNDER 14C RUGBY This side scored the most point of all the sides in the division and had the smallest number of points cored against them. TI1eboy were always ready to run with the ball, and once they had the upper hand they never let up. The depth in the division is clearly shown up in the performances of this ideo M Jubber was a most reliable and able captain who ucceeded in creating a cohe i\'e side. C Jacob, S Knol, M O'Donnell, G KelroeCooke, A Crofton, M Lamberth, S Springett and W Patten always played well.

as there were only 4 or 5 players to choo e from and their enthusiasm was infectious. They were awarded the League Sportsmanship Award and played well in the Under 13 B league. Wemer SUssmann, Bruce Deneys, Michael Chellew, Layne Manley and Ashley Wakeham were a credit to WY11bergsquash.

O'Connell and Ivo estel joined our team and we drew our first match against Michaelhouse. We were then beaten by Grey High, Alexander Road High, Hilton College and an Old Boys Squash Club team. Despite only winning one matd1 in the league, our player did improve a great deal during the sea on. [t was also very encouraging to see a Junior Schoo[ boy in A[ain estel playing for the 1st team and aquitting himself at umber 2. We are also very fortunate to havea number of promising juniors coming up and, although the picture was bleak this year, we can [ook forward to an improved performance in the next few year . ]ason de Boer, Andrew Scarborough, Brenton Heron and Charles Bent also played for the first team. In summing up the ea on 1would ay that our boys were generally outclassed, although they never stopped trying. Our opponents eem to have a much more dedicated approach to their quash with most of them playing regularly for clubs in the W.P. Men's League. Lnfuture our boys will also have to follow this example if they wish to remain competitive. Our depth was shown in the Second and Third Teams. The Second team was top of the A league during the first round and Patrick Gildenhuys, Andrew Scarborough, Brenton Heron, Charles Bent and Brian van Ginkel all won most of their matches against other schools' first teams. The third team won the B league during the second round and Lee Erasmu ,Conrad Schultz, Jolm Morison and Clayton Botha all did very well. The 5th and 6th teams also won one round of their respective leagues, while the 4th and 7th teams each reached the knock-out finals but were beaten. The Under IS teams showed great depth and our B team consisting of Trevor Good, Bryn Parkin, Marc Turvey, Thomas Karpinski and Sean McIntyre, nearly won the first round Under 1SA league and were unfortunatelyknockedoutin the Under lSB league semi-finals. The Under lSA team of Ala in estel, Lee Erasmus, Conrad Schultz and Trevor Good, who had played most of their league matches in the enior league,combined to win the Under 1SA knockout. Mid1ael MW1fO was still unavailable because of repeated injuries. The Under 1SC team struggled in the Under 15B league, but won the Under ..1S C Knock-Out and Matthew MeUy, Egon SUssmann, Jame McCullagh, Andrew Pegge, Carl Penn and Grant Ruffel all played well.

In the opening match the first team was defeated 8-2 by SACS at ewland. As the sea on progre sed there was a good in1provement, as shown in their victories against Rondebosch (5-3) and Bishops (3-1). In the Wynberg Tournament the team did weU to win 3 out of the 4 games played. In the last official match of the season Wynberg drew 3 all against a highly motivated Sea Point side. During the course of the season two unofficial games were played - the first against the Old Boys (won 7-4) and later against a touring SWA ide (won 14-1). Five boys were selected for the 1988 Provincial Schools' side: C Pearse, A Knight, B Davies and K Thorne, while T McEwan was in the Colts side.

UNDER 19B WATER POLO The second water polo team has had aJ1enjoyable first half of the eason during 1989. We have a good, but young, team so it took us a while to settle down. We did not always do as well a we expected, but our team spirit remained high, enuring a good victory against SACS (6-0) at the end of the sea on. The second team should do better in the final term. We should like to thank Mr Stewart, who ha been a dedicated coach and who introduced a new game plan to the team. A.B.

TENNIS Eight senior teams and one Std 6 team were entered in the Inter-School Leagues this year. Our first team did very well to end econd in the premier league. Herzlia, the eventual winners, ended level with Wynberg, but won on a setcount. Our second team, likewise, played consistently good tennis to win their league. Wynberg tennis looks promising a we continue to e tend our depth - a number of very talented Std 6's arrived at the beginning of the year. lan Purchase represented the Western Province A team and Luca Radaelli, the Western Province B team. Those boys not playing in one of the eight teams were involved in the internal league on Saturdays. Selection for the team i done strictly according to the ladder and boys are encouraged to challenge as often as possible to improve their po ition . G.E.

POLO TEAMS The 3rd and 4th teams both had fairly succe sful seasons, winning most of their matches. SACS pro ed to be our stronge t opponents and both teams were narrowly beaten. At the beginning of the sea on both ball-handling and positional-play were very rusty but, by the end of the eason, both sides had developed into well-knit teams. Both 3rd and 4th team should be complimented on their spirit and enthusia m. D.B. 105

The team tarted off the season Vvith narrow losses to SACS and Rondebosch, but dominated their opponents during the rest of the eason. When up against Rondebo ch again, they fought back hard after being 2-3 down at half-time, to come back with determination and win 4-3. This was the highlight of the season. The team excelled in most aspects of the game, but poradic lapse of concentration and undisciplined play in some matches caused a few of the opposing teams to be let off the hook! Amongst the forwards G Pfister, R Davies and A Thomashoff shone with their powerful shooting and \\rÏmming. The backs held their own by defending against some formidable opposition fowards. G rfi ter and R Davies were the top goal scorer. The team wa weil coached by Mr Lamoral, who unfortunately will be leaving our team. We éllsa appreciated the e tra help from old Mr K MacTavish. The team has a lot of potentiéll and will be one of the mélin contender for the WéllIer Cup in the 4th term .

The19 8- 9 easonwasoneofupsanddownsfor these teams. At the beginning of 19 9 many players came to water polo from the social tennis squad. Many of these swam badly, had never played water polo before and had to learn the game quickly. The fina I term of 19 8 was a good one for the E ide as they lost only to SACS. In the first term in 19 9 they beat Bishops in the first round but lost the return match. They lo s to Rondebo ch and Sea Point, but ended the season on a high note by beating amps Bay. Player who deserve, pecia] mention are R Elliott, a fine captain and player, and D Burger, most improved goal keeper. rA Re ults P W L D PF 12 1988 E TeamS 3 1 1 14 1989 E Team6 2 4 0 20 33 1 198FTeam4 0 4 0 10 IS 19 9 FTeam4 2 .de.C. 106

The Under 15 B's were capably led by Alam Chitty, who steered his team to a fairly succes ful season. The team improved with every game and as the season progressed the player learned to pla y together. Thi resulted in some fine victories, nota bly against SACS (6-2), Rondebosch (5-{)) and Herzlia (6-1). In the Under 15 C and Dgroup the teams began the season in most promising fashion with victories over SACS and Herzlia. But then, as the results below illustrate, both teams lost their form
