announcement the School Committees of aU four Wynberg schools went on three different occasions to debate the options and the implication of the options as stated by the Minister. At this point it is felt that nothing further can be done until a more definite announcement is made by the government. This new challenge has been welcomed by the school and there is little doubt that Wynberg Boys' High will respond in a way that will serve the best interests of the community. 1990 has also heralded another dramatic change in education. Since April a new financial system has been implemented which has and will have profound influence on our schools. The Education Department now provides only salaries and the buildings. In addition, a specific sum of money is allocated to cover electricity, telephones, book issue and maintenance. Anything else that is provided has to be paid for from school contributions. [n order to maintain our present above-average facilities, as well as to continue to improve these facilities, the School Committee is faced with the prospect of having to ask the school community to provide the necessary finance. It is now a reality that parents will have to pay for good education, but it is also a reality that they are getting value for money. R.eA.

EDITORIAL As this 1990 magazine goes to press the parents of the four Wynberg schools, together with the parents of some forty-two other schools in the Cape Town School Board area, are soon to decide at the polls whether these white schools should become open to children of all races. "Will this be the last term for apartheid?" asks the headline in one of our local newspapers. These schools, it is suggested by the press, will be facing "the most crucial challenge of their history". There is, of course, understandable concern about such matters as educational standards. But whatever the outcome of these impending polls, the mere fact of having to decide on this important enrolment issue is a sign that the old education order in South Africa is passing away forever. There can be little doubt in anyone's mind that, in the not-too-distant future, political events and constitutional changes will change the face of South African education in order to address the imbalances of the past. All of us who are involved in education face a daunting challenge. It will be a time of many changes and thus it will, of necessity, be a time when determination, understanding and realism will be needed. If we cannot prepare young people for a new South Africa by providing them with an appropriate education of a sound standard, then the task of creating a harmonious society will be made very difficult indeed.

STAFF NOTES At times during the year our staffroom resembles Grand Central Station (or De Aar) with many comings and goings. Trying to get some order out of the events happening there is rather like reading a train time-table (or some invigilation timetables). The New Year rolled in and, save for Dave Bromberger who was sunning himself in Kommetjie, the staff began the first term. New staff to be welcomed were Messrs S Breytenbach, J Buchanan, M Cowdry, A Hockey, J Kruger, L Kruger, S de Witt and Mrs M Louis. Itwas not long before we bade a sad farewell to Mrs Val Main, who always added flair to the secretaries' office. Mrs Sheila McCurdie has since taken her place, and life in the office continues in its usual efficient way. In the Art Department a lot of activity has taken place. Mr P Rademeyer left shortly before the end of the first term and was replaced for a few weeks by Mr C Fauville. Ms N Jordan took 'over at the start of the second term and has already made her mark, as could be seen in the impressive art work

FROM THE HEADMASTER In this note itis my aim to record important events that have occurred during the year and influenced the school in some significant way. 1990 has heralded one of the greatest challenges in the history of the school. The announcement by the State President in February, followed by Minister Claase's announcement in March of possible options for a non-racial school, clearly challenged the school to establish its role in a new non-racial South Africa. As early as 1986 the parents were asked by the School Committee to express their feelings concerning the possible opening of the school to all races. The parent community indicated that the School Committee should follow and enter the debate concerning open schools. This has been done for the past four years. This year, however, what had always been seen as only an ideal became a possible reality through the announcement by Mr Oaase. In reply to this

berg were "Bunty" Joubert's ixtieth birthday and the birth of her sixth grandchild. Mr J Blom celebrated his twenty-fifth anni versa ry at the School. In these days of regular staff changes this is a remarkable milestone and indicative of his commitment to the School. On the sportfield our staff members performed extremely well. Mr C Ellis represented WP rugby with distinction, Mr S de Witt was selected for the ational Squad for High Board Diving and Mr M Moore was awarded UCTHalfBlues for Running. Our staH hockey teams won their annual competition for the "Bust Hockey Stick" by defeating the staff from Plumstead High School in tightly contested matches. The mountains were no barrier to twelve of the bravest as they conquered the peaks of the Swellendam Trail during a long-weekend outing.

Mr H Stevenson rcplaced him for two term, until her husband was transferred away from civilization (to Johannesburg). Mr Bowker-Joplin took over her classes for the rest of the year. Mr M Moorewa promoted to Head of Department at the tart of the econd term, into a position vacated by De de la Mare. During the fourth term Mr B Greenwood took his family overseas and was replaced by Mr R Jones. Littlewood Hou e was taken over by Mr and Mrs M Rushby at the start of the year.

:vir 0 RusseIl Mr J Jonk.er 'vIr C EIIl We have endeavoured once again to equip pupIls with il knowledge of the procedures of Accounting and the fundilmentill theories of business methods. We believe that there is a great deill of o;cope In the accounting syllabu<, and, for this reason, we have continued to provide our pupils in the lower standard With business enriclunent. At the moment the enrichment re\ oh'es around a better under tanding of the lIweslment side of bu iness, with a special emphasi on the stock exchange. There is far more to accounting than mere bookkeeping. We are trying to cultivate an understanding and appreciiltion of the value and Importance of accounting for prIvate purpo ,as a preparation for a career and as an incentive to contmue with tudies. Although accounting remain an optional subJect at the school, the subject remains compulsory for the Standard 6 group. I believe there IS gr at merit in thb. 0 matter what cureer may be chosen, a basic knowledge of accounting will be nece sary. Accounting also encourages self-discipline in the pupIlsas there isa need fororderlines and good presentation. One of the atn1 of our d partment has been to promote the subject accounting as an academiC subject and to encourage more of the top pupil In ea h standilfd to take the ubjcct for matric with a view to preparing them fully for a pos Ible university education. I can say with confidence that we arc succeeding in our goal, and we look forv.'ard to a good set of re uIts from our matric cia s at the end of the year. Once again this year we shall b offering the matrie clas an opportunity to attend a "Revi ion Day" prior to their final paper. Thi ha prO\ ed vcr popular in the past and aUow pupil the opportunity to ort out problem which may have ari en during private stud, as well as to provide a fTesh inspiration for the day that follows!

Mr W E Creed Me!>~r!>G Tavlor and J Buchanan The 19 9 matric result were extremely di appointing - instead of the usual average in the upper fifty percents, the Higher Grade group obtained 48"; and the Standard Grade" 41 'h. There were no A ~ymbol , but there were five outright failur~ and eleven higher grade candidates managed only a "tandard grade pa ~. An analyc,is of the po!>sible reason for such uncharacteristic re~ults hae; led to a different teaching strategy this ear. There have alobeen many warnings about the dangers and pitfall of the higher grade e,-am, despite which certain pupil ha\'e refused to change to the standard grade. MrG Ta lorand Mr J Buchanan have joined the biology department this year. Mr Taylor is an e'-perienced teacher with many valuable idea . Mr Buchanan has not taught before and ha~ adapted well to a life with t 0 few hours in the day. Thi new teaching team has et it elf some challenging goals which wiU take a few years to be reali/ed fully. Two immediate challenge are: how to make the ubject more relevant and how to present It in a more practical and interesting manner. Considerable libertie will have to be taJ..en with the "yllabu" to the e ends, but this will not be at the e'-pen e of education. W.E ..

Wc were pleased to welcome Mr Leon Kruger ill:> a new Geography teacher at Wynberg thi year. Our motrics did not fulfil expectations in the 19 9 final examination and no Higher Grade A ymbol were obtained. The new yllabus which was introduced in 19 5, i more directed toward the development of insight and understanding. The HG and SG cour c differ con iderablv in the matric year and we feel tTongly that, u;'less a mark of 500/, i attained in tds and 9, the liG cour ein td 10 hould not be attempted. To do well on the HG course requires that tudents read widely and think creativel. Pupils who change to Geography in td 9 or 10 usually find they lack the neee ary in ight to do well.

THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Subject Head: Mr J J Kruger Staff: Ms L M Galpin We started the year with 12 boy taking music as an academic subject: 2 in matric, 1 in Std 9, 2 in Std 8, 2 in Std 7, and 5 in Std 6. In the extra-curricular cction we have 19 boys taking piano, guitar or recorder. We strive to create a happy atmo phere in the music department, while the boy' gain experience in various musical skills as well a~ in performance. During the econd term we had a successful concert in the library, attended by parent and friends. From time to time the boy play the hymn or chool song during a sembly, giving them the chance to display their accompanying skills. Wc alotry to expo e pupils to outside influence!:>and the boys recently attended a "Symphonic Rock Concert" by the aso in the City Hall. In May, three of our boys performed at theCape Town EbteddfocL All three,J de Cock, TGood élnd J Th()mél~, were awarded honours certificate~ in their ~pecific divi ions. Two b()y~ were enrolled for the Uni~a practical examinatIons in eptember and we eagerly await their rec;ults. In October, 10 boys will be writing the Unisa theory paper. We hope that this will give them il proper background for harmony in the higher ~tandard~.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Subject Head: AG Cro HED (PE) Physical education at Wynberg ha had to face the changing needs of our society and caters not only for the development of immediate sporting kills, but also life-time skills. Unfortunately, we live in a decadent society, govemed by automation at the expense of natural movement. The obering result of ational Fitne~s Tests conducted over 25 years (1965 to 1989) indicate that the national standard of physical fitness has declined by 35%. Physician and educators have identified two major cau es for this negative trend, namely declining nutritional standards and the advent of television. Although our school compare favourably with ational Fitness Standards, we have introduced a practical and theoretical weight training program to the physical education dasse, the main emphasis being the strengthening of the upper body. Senior classes have also spent much time acquiring "life-time skills" in uch activities as qua h, tennis, badminton, backpacking and planning the use of recreational time. Time has also been spent in indicating the importance of endurance-type exercise and its effect on the cardiova cular ystcm. Parent Keep Fit classes continue providing vitality for some parents.

ever, we look forward to good results at the end of the year. The top group in Stds ,9 and 10 are competing well and several Std's and Std 9's are producing marks weU over 90%. Our results in the 1990 Science Olympiad were better than average with 3 of our pupils - namely David Tornalin (71%), Craig Jewell (69%) and Marc Secchia (68%) - coming in the top 200 to 300 in the country. 24 of our 65 entrants obtained marks which placed them in the top 10% in the country. Our top matric boy wa David Tomalin (71 o/c) our top Std 9 boy was lan LiddIe (66%) and our top Std 8 boy wa Marc Secchia (68%). We had a very rewarding "in erviee" training afternoon during the econd term and many good ideas were exchanged with Mr Moser being involved in a demonstration of the usefulne s of videos in science teaching and other intere ting topics involving acids and bases, equilibrium, organic chemistry, redox reactions and various physic topics. The possibility of introducing Tcore with an adjusted mean was investigated, but has not been finalised.

Academic progress has been good this year with all groups keeping up with the syllabus better than in past years. The matrics finished their yllabus before the Trial Exams. Averages through the year have been higher than usual for Stds 8 and 9, but distre singly low for the matric . How-

Science staff developments this year: The d partment has been fortunate to have a table taff and all four matric teacher are fully involved in the school. Mr Moore is to be congra-

rack. Pupils then spend a lot of time perfecting their dovetail points and finishing off their models. In the Std 8 practical dass the pupils are restricted to basic cabinet construction with a drawer and a door. Here the pupils have the choice of either making a bedside cabinet or a dartboard cabinet. I see the Std 8 year as a very important one because it prepares the pupil for his Std 10 year. The Std 9 pupils spend their time operating the lathe. Here the pupils have the golden opportunity to make fruit bowls, lampstands and coffee tables. The Std 10 pupils of this year are producing models of a very high standard. They include a TV cabinet, a Welsh dresser, a wash-stand and a double bed headboard. Making a matric model takes a lot of extra time and some pupils spend many hours after school working to perfect their models. Special mention must be made of Jurgen Halmdiek who built a IS-foot ski-boat during his Std 8 and 9 years. This year he is making a grandfather clock. It is very pleasing to see the quality of furniture that is being constructed this year. PJ.K.

tulated on his promotion to Head of Department from the second term. Mr Petersen has been kept busy with his growing family of a girl and boy as weil as our laboratories. Mr Greenwood took leave in the fourth term and Mr Ron Jones, coauthor of the text book series, Brink and Jones, agreed to stand in for the term and look after his classes. We wish Mr Moore well in his final exams for his B Ed degree and congratula te Mr Moser on his B Ed graduation last year. Mr Petersen is to be congratulated on obtaining two certificates in laboratory work. E.B.G.

THE WOODWORK DEPARTMENT Subject Head: PJ Kriel It has been an enjoyable year during which we ha ve benefited from the lengthened teaching period. The Std 6 pupils were taught the basic woodworking skills such as planing and sawing. During the Std 7 year the pupils are guided in the making of a model such as a tray or a spice

I found, at the beginning of the year, that the students were understandably reticent about comjng to see me. (Little did they know that I wa a un ure as they were of what to expect!) lam very pleased to say that this changed as the year progre sed. I feel that there is much space for the expansion of counselling and related activities, and I see my role as attempting to make Wynberg a more caring, individual-orientated school, where each student is encouraged to realize Ius own, w1.ique potential to the full. I am hoping that, a 1 watch my pupil grow, I will be able to contribute something constructive to their lives. M.C.

THE BIBLE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Pastoral Programme, instituted by Mr Algie this year, is literally "heaven sent" as far as Bible Education is concerned. We now have a period in the middle of the day when the whole school has either a Citizenship, Guidance or Bible Education lesson and this has resulted in the freeing of all teachers to be channelled into their subject-ofchoice for that les on. In the pa t, Bible Education wa taught by individuals who just happened to be free during a particular periocl. ow, the subject is taught mo tly by members of staff who believe the Scriptures and who can speak with authority based on a personal experience of Jesu Christ. To guide the teacher there is a new syllabu which i actually a study of Biblical themes in the fonn of modules. Teachers are not required to follow the syllabu lavishly, but encouraged to generate discussion with their classes on any relevant Biblical theme or principle. Towards the cnd of the third term the department wa a sessed by the uperintendent of Education, who subsequently submitted a favourable report on its progress.

THE LIBRARY AND AUDIOVISUAL

CENTRE

Old habits die hard 0 we are stiU referring to the library and media centre as two di tinct operations although they really are an entity.TIlis year has seen much activity in this important part of the school; at times there has been friction, at other times much pleasure and achievement - certainly never a dull moment. The pupil monitors who number 31, play a ery important role in serving the school and, in turn, their lives are enriched by their involvement in working together to achieve goals. This ha enabled us to understand one another better. Meeting with SA and Plumstead High School monitors was fun and gave u new perception. Arthur Pre ton and Stuart Brown ably led the librarians and media crew re pectivel . Arthur will be sorely mis ed and we thank him and Barry Knol well a they write lheir final examinations and start their adult live. Mo t of our energy this year ha been put into computeri.!ing the library. Inexperience and some mechanical etback slowed down the work. However, from the beginning of the fourth term books will be issued on the computer. Although the whole tock i not yet recorded, we feel that we should begin to benefit from the system as soon a pos ible. Each library u er will have a membership card tating his number on wluch all i ue and return will depend. Mr Warwick Blake, one of our parent, wrote the programme, Bookma ter, and wc thank him mo t incerely f r all the Lime and trouble he has taken to guide us in its use.

[n the audiovisual section a lot of work ha gone into training young monitor to use and maintain equipment, and we are pleased with their progre . The teachers and pupils need the media crew, especially in crise, and these bovs have proved that they can be depended on. Video recordings have been made of school activities and will be collated to make a film of the chool: "Windows on Wynb rg 1990". Many other videos have been collected and a comprehensive catalogue compiled. Much work still need to bedone on lid~/ta'pe programmes. Photograph of school highlight have been tak n and these will be an important record for the future. A third television et wa purchased early in the year and now three monitor (with video recorder) are operating in the chool. The media crew are in the proc s of converting the small storeroom attached to the m dia workroom into a visual production room. In the reprographic section a new crox phot copier i available for staff u and in the library a coin-operated Mita photocopier may be u. ed by the boys. Mr Donald Ruiters has taken over much of the reprographic work, but the media monitor'i are often called upon to help.

PASTORAL PROGRAMME Wynberg was cho en as a pilot school to pre ent a new citizenship programme drawn up by the Transvaal Education Department. We created a 30-minute pastoral period which fall between periocb -+ and 5 every day, during which Bible Educiltion, Citi7en. hip, Guidance and Reilding take place. The adet programme which i'i an integral part of itizenship, i~ dealt with in a eparate time slot. The iti7enship component is presented once during the nine day c eie in tds 6 and 7, and twice in a cyele in td. to 10. In the ~enior econdary pha e a teacher sees a class twice per c eie before moving on to the next cla - of the tandard to present the same topic. The fact that certain themes refer to politically sen itive subjects has initiated ome stimulating discu. sion. An innovative programme like this, designed to broaden the experience of our pupil, succeed through the hard work and dedication of teachl!r who ometime have to handle ~ubj t which they have had to study them dve before pre nting the lesson. Bible Education ha by no mean lagged behind the emphasis lavi hed on iti7en hip. The group of teachers pres nting Bible Education are people with a incere conviction that piritual guidance enriches and builds moral character. Mr B re d and his group of teacher hilve to be thanked for their contributor role in making the Pa toral Programme the ideal area to create an awarenes of civic duty and to prepare pupils for an active ilnd con tructive role in th world they live in. ].G.L.

The committee, chaired by Paul Revington and con i ting of Mark Hutton, Trevor Good, Stuart Ander on and Stephen an Rhyn d id an excellent job in their planning for the camp, and it wa unlucky for them that the camp did not run according to plan.

9 CAMP

The 1990 Std 9 amp will no doubt be remembered for the bus accident which occurred on the way to the SOS camp-site outside Villiersdorp. At least ten of the boys sustained broken limbs of some art and about twenty had facial cuts. Of the eventy- nine boy who travelled at on the bus, fifty-four tayed for the duration of the camp. We left Wynberg at 14h45 on Friday 12October and eventually arrived at the camp"" ite at about 18hoo. It was decided. to pre S ahead with the programme, even though mo tof th boy were suffering from some degree of hock. The ice breaker ,run by Stephen van Rhyn, helped lighten the atmosphere, and these were followed by a talk from two of our matries, Aubrey Martyn and Adi Badenhor t. Then there wa il es ion on selfperception by Mr Moore. The antics after lightsout confirmed that ome boy had recovered from their hock. The next morning Mr Ru hby conducted two es ions, one on situational leadership and the other on communication, and Mr Ru sell ga ve the Std 9's ome u eful tip on how to organize their lives and manage their time.

BUSINESS GAME AND STOCK EXCHANGE GAME During the pa t year, teams were on e again enter d for both the Busines Game and the tock. Exchange Game. It ha always been my intention

to introduce pupils to the risks involved in ~uch venturcs. Although operating under simple conditions, pupils are nevertheless encouraged to get involved in decision making. The Busine s Game consist:, of schools competing against one other with a view to making the greatest profit at the end of a financial period. The team is given a particular product to market in a particular area. Participation wa!> keen thi year and, although the team did not make it through to the second round, r feel that the exerci e proved \o\'orthwhile. I look furward to similar involvement during 1991. At the time of writing, the toek Exchange ,ame i'i still being conte~ted. The school has entered three teams, one from each of tandard ,lJ and 10.

Mr M Louis J McLaughlin

The Ches~ teams ha ve en joyed a nother successfu I year find, although member have not been as active in 1990 playtng tournamenls, they have maintained a high standard of play throughout the season. Mark Aaron came third at a competition held ilt the Goodwood how Grounds and then went un to win il imilar competition at Cavendi h Square during the July chool holidays. The first team, which played in the A league, came second in lhc league during the econd term (Rondebosch were Uw winners). The second team played in th B leagueduring the second term but final re~ult are not yet available. It would eem that their chan e~ of coming out on top are good .1~ they did not lo e any matchcs. The third team played in the F league so a~ to give other school~ with only onc team the opportunity to play against better players in order to gain experience. The annual SACU Che exams were written by nine members but here too results have not yet been received. The third term has been as successful a the ~econd term was, and first team member feel confident that the will be well placed in the A league once again, hopefully ahead of the cond term winners.

CRITIQUE: THE INSECT PLAY

Lost

2 M.e.

The title "The Insect Play" is a deceptively simple onc for a production which not ani vibrated with sound and colour but taught important lessons about human frailty. It wa writt n originally in Cz.echo lovak by josef and Karel Capek. The producer, Ms Penelope Glover, drama teacher at Wynberg Girls' High S hool, made a courageou choice, for the pIa demanded a high standard of acting and innovative tage and co tume design. The addition of an original mu ic score made the whole production quite unique. The main character, the tramp, played by Geaffrey Heald, pride him elf on being a man and therefore uperior to the insect who di play ficklene ,a\'arice, in ensitivitv and blatant crueltv among other very human trait. . Geaffrey'. rol~ Wil the mo t d manding and he ably u tained the pia's me sage: that man is really no better than the other lowl creature when he i tripped of all his trappings. Perhaps a local accent rather than the Cockney one would have been more fitting. The in5ect were a delight. Ms Glover certainly inspired them to feel their rolC5and they moved and poke like the flippant butterflies or the ponderou beetles they were portraying. Kathy Godwin, a Mrs B tie agitating over her "pile", wa my favourite. A great deal of the ucce of the how depended on the vi ual effect. For th we thank M icola Jordan, our art teacher, especially. The costume and make-up worked very ,...'ell; the Inchneumon FI come to mjnd as one of the particularl !:.triking in ect . TI1e tage ettings were mo!>tly simple, but effective, the backdrop for the Creepies and Crawlies cene a real visual delight. M jordan and her help rs arc to be congratulated. Backstage and lighting were efficiently managed and en5ured a ~Ii J... pace, Although the production cannot properly be called a mu ical, the mu ic composed by justin B kley for the lyric ,hich would ordinarily have been recited by Feli ,the poet-butterly, wa

Wc were once again entertilined to an enjoyable evening of drilma. Mr Michael Harris, cx-Wynberg teacher and at pre ent Deputy Principal of Sea Puint High School, wa our adjudicator and he provided the participants with a very constructive adjudication at the c1o.e of the evening.

an important part of the whole effect. The tirring melodies beautifuUy played by the band, added an une pected dimen ion. It was a pity that at time:, the music was overpowering and the lyrics cou Id n' t be heard. The aud ience loved the singi ng of Ju tin and his sophisticated backing vocalists, but the imultaneous miming on the stage jarred. The young people on and behind the tage and in the band obviously enjoyed them elves; they and their teachers and other helpers have good reason to be proud of this how.

THE HISTORY SOCIETY Master-in-charge: Mr K Pretorius Chairman: Gavin Kruse The main aim of the History Society committee was to increase member hjp thi year. Thi aim was achieved a earl a the beginning of the 1st term of 1900. Memb rship increa ed from a mere 7 member to a regular attendance of 27 members. The rea on for this increased member hip was that the committee attempted to make ocieties' period meeting as interesting as possible. Many and varied guest peakers were invited to address the History Society. Olaf Brinkman, a DJ from Radio Good Hope, proved to be extremely interesting. Mr Gore, the Director and Founder of the College of Magic, addre sed us on the Hi tory of Magic. Hi addre s proved to be 0 ucce hll that we extended an invitation to him to addre s u_ once again. The History Society also went on an extremely interesting excursion to Muizenberg where we were ho ted b the aval allege. Once we had left the aval College, we continued on our excur ion to Simon' Town where we vi ited the museum. This e cursion proved to be ucces ful since many friend hip were established. The Hi tor Society also watched informative video from time to time, such a "District Six The Final Withdrawal". We also invited th Rev T icholson who addres ed us on hi tour of the Holy Land. He illu trated his talk with tide. Mr K C Richard on alogave us an extremely interesting talk and lide- how on the Berlin Wall.

All in all, the Hi tory Society experienced an enjoyable and interesting schedule of activities during 1990.

Encouraging to note is a large contingent of td 6 pupils who, it is hoped, will not later walk out on the society! Over the p<lst year the club, under leadership ofGarth Ilarris and Martin Heydenrych, has held varied activitie . The e have included a guest peaker from a river-rafting company, practical talk on hiking gear and emergency Fir t aid, a lide how on rock-climbing and a number of documentary videos. Away from the chool, a number of senior have taken the initiative to organise weekend day hikes in and around Cape Town with a view to enjoying and cleaning up the outdoors. Even further afield, the club undertook two major hikes - one to the Groot Winterhoek in June (led by Mr Buchanan and ome wiJling parent) and the second to the Cedarberg (under the watchful eye of Mr d Waal).

THE MUSIC APPRECIATION SOCIETY Music can be a very individual form of expression.lt i thi which makes choosing music to listen to during ocieties' period a difficult ta k for the Mu ic Committee. As its name implies, this society's aim i to encourage the appreciation of all musical style. The members this year have been expo ed to everything from Chopin to ACID . Although music taste vary considerably within the ociety, it ha been a valuable le son in leaming to appreciate the diversity in music. When the new committee took over the reins from Shahl de Meuter at the end of 1989, we were faced with the challenge of organi ing entertainment for the Societie Day during Focu Week. We

The ociety operate along very impie line. A course is set up, prior to the society meeting, u ing coded beacons. The member ilre then given maps howing them where to find the particular beilcons, the idea being to write down the code and then to return to the starting point as on ilS po ible. Owing to the expen e involved, it ha not been po ible to make use of sophisticated map and compa ses, but the idea of the society is to introduce member to orienteering. On leaving :,chool, member can decide whether they would like to join one of the official clubs in the Penil1.<;ula. In conclusion, I should like to thank Stephen 0' Alton for hi hard work in en uring the society has operated efficiently. Thanks are also due to the committee for their continued support throughout the year. I sincerely hope that the society will continue to flourish during 1991. D.R. The Mu ic Appreciation Society at

Some interesting rhythms were produced when the boys were asked to clap a given cross- rhythm pattern. Later, the much-acclaimed young piani t, Francois du Toit, poke on hi musical career and played for us. The committee ha tried to make the programme as varied as possible, and wc have subsequently listened to Chopin, UB40 and Midnight Oil.

Society Periods this year have been aimed at enjoyment and to educate the member over and above his chool curriculum.

The main goal were to make the meetings interesting and, in doing that, increa e the number of people attending the meetings. We feel that this year we learned what attracts people to meeting and, although we made a few mi take " I am convinced that there is ome valuable information to be passed on to the ne t committee. Unfortunately the annual SC camp had to be cancelled owing to complication involving the camp ite and the speaker. However, there were many other event that took place this year which were very !>ucce ful. During the contact week with Rondebo ch, we had the traditional rally in the evening with SACS, Rondebo ch, San Souci, Rustenberg and, of course, the Girl' School. We also had a social with Berg liet which took the form OLI picnic at Wynberg Park. Earlier on in the vear we had a tav-awake with the Girl' chool , U at the home' of one of the girls. This tayawake wa held in order to collect fund for charity. It proved to be very ucce ful. Once a term, Scripture Union holds the area meeting for the different chool' U, mo tof whid1 were attended by our committe . At the me ting we are given helpful tip and advice on how to run our SCU. Another way in which we tried to get ideas for the running of SCU was to have a committee camp with the Girls' School committee. Thi was e tremely succe sful and, b id getting to know the girl better, we also did some important evaluating. While working together, we have learned a lot about faith, the n ce "'ity f prayer, and the importance of teamwork. These are e ential ingredient for the succe ful running of an organisation uch a U.

THE INTERACT CLUB The Interaet lub decided to make the Easter Egg collection a project for the fir t tem1 so that underprivileged children could receive their Easter Eggs in good time for Easter. The variou classes competed with one another and, up to the last minute, the Std lO' were crambling around trying to outdo the td 6's. The eventual winners wcre, of course, the recipient of the eggs and the total number of egg collected passed the') 000 mark. During the first and econd term the Interact lub appealed to the chool to bring old jerseys and other warm clothing. Other smaller projects included helping with street collections, working at the Carnival and going to the aid of ho pital taff during the hospital worker' strike. However, the main second term project involved a collection in aid of the SA ational Council for the Blind. An amount of R620 wa~ coUeeted. The lub's main project for the third term wa to cam'a for members and to participate in World ision' 40 Hour Famine. Lu kil for the participant they could ch 0 e their own acti ity in tead of the u ual famine. Running, walking, c cling and golfing were ome of the activities the chose to attra t pon rs.

event now looked forward to with keen anticipation by the pupils who take part in the programme. At the end of every year we pass our matric donor' on to their home clinics and then tackle the task of building up a new donor force each year. March 1990 heralded a fine start to the new year when the expected number of donor wa easily exceeded. The attendance at the third clinic held during July topped the 50 mark. Some previous donor had got cold feet, but many new enthu iastic donors took their places. The boys who donate blood form part of a larger group of civic-minded p ople who, without thought of reward, perform a valuable service to their fellow man. A incere word of thanks is extended to all the boys and staff members who 0 willingly give blood. Feel great. Donate. J.G.L.

CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CLASSROOM CHRISTMAS

- A BIRD'S EYE VIEW

counter where hls wife has deserted him. As a decrepit, grey-haired man passes me, he grumbles at a family of Indians walking six abreast in front of him eating samoosas at a leisurely pace. From the check-out in the front of the shop, long queues of people snake progressively towards the back of the shop as peak-hour draws near; and children cling excitedly to the sides of their parents' trolley. "Is this how Christmas was really meant to be?" one might ask. The tills seem to laugh out in derision with their electronic voices, at the complete and u tter mockery of Christ which, I believe, Christmas has become in these so-called "modern and civilized" times. C. Jewell, Std 10

(This composition was adjudged the winning entry in the Senior Section of the school's Writers' Composition.) As the multitude of security cameras nonchalantly scan the thousands of preoccupied Christmas shoppers, one cannot help but get caught up in the centipedes of people ambling down the various aisles of this so-called hypermarket of urban proportions. Having joined the flow, it then becomes an almost monstrous task to free oneself from the solid human mass as shoppers move forward, slowly perusing, in their careful search for that perfect gift for Christmas, or perhaps merely on the look-out for the first potential bargain to meet their eye. Yes, it has reached that time of the year again, when millions of dormant shoppers worldwide come out of hibernation to participate in the wellknown business of Christmas shopping; when prices rise and when bank balances decrease. From where I stand, I feel the sense of urgency in the air as the ant-like colony of movement lies sprawled before me. Noise seems to emanate from every crack as public-address systems hurl down bargains on the flocks of sheep eager to follow the trends and fill up the Christmas stocking. Chlldren, their faces radiant with glee, stare in enchantment at the captivating displays and caches of toys whlch predominate on every corner. They drag behind them their budget-weary parents, eager to point out a newly-discovered gimmick. At a nearby jewellery counter a young newlywed investigates his bank balance carefully in the hope of procuring something special for hls wife and at another counter an aged couple stand arm in arm, gazing longingly at the new television set which they so dearly want but can.not afford. Behind them, a squint-eyes salesman extols the wonders of a modern computer to a young executive, twitching excitedly at the prospect of a sale. At the sweets counter an irate mother scolds her young son for nagging her and in close proxirnity, a young husband sighs impatiently as he leans on a supermarket trolley near the grocery

MY DIVING

EXPERIENCE

(This composition was adjudged the winning entry in the Junior Section of the school's Writers' Competition.) We went to Hermanus for a holiday during the December-January school holidays. My friend Bruce came with us. We arrived at our holiday house and once again captu.red that wonderful feeling of being away from the city and breathing in that wonderful sea air. After we had unpacked I decided it was time to go diving. Our holiday house is only one hundred metres away from the water and we were down there in no time at all. We geared up and set off backwards into the icy sea water. Once we had reached deep enough water we sank our bodies into the water. It was a different world under water; everything was so beautiful. The sea urchins with their many wonderful colours looking like a million pincushions lying on the sea bed. The fish were not scared of us. They swam around us as if we were not there. The dogfish were everywhere, sluggishly swimming around on the sea bed. The crayfish darting under rocks proved difficult to catch. I decided to go further out, and my friend followed me into the deep, dark water that lay ahead. We started diving down and looking under the seaweed for perlemoen, but they were all too small. I spotted a rock full of largesized perlemoen. I darted across to the rock and

started to lever off these massive perlemoen with my screwdriver and pop lhem in my net. We counted eight perlemoen. We decided to go in and put them in our diving bag. We clambered up onto the rock to find an inspector sitting next to our gear, waiting for us to bring in our catch. He had a yellow, pia tic gauge with him, and asked if he could check our catch. He measured them off and they were all of acceptable size. The in pector went off to check ome other divers. We peeled off our wetsuits and felt once again the nice hot un on our back. We packed up and went back la our holiday house. We cleaned the perlemoen élnd fried lip the chopped pieces of the perlemoen flesh. Thi is delicious, and unlike any other food on earth. We were happy with our catch and we decided to go diving again the next day. R. Fennes~y, Std 7

DIE TOEKOMS VAN AFRlKAANS IN 'N DEMOKRATIESE SUID-AFRIKA 'n Mens moet eintlik jammer vir die biltong-enbrandewyn- Afrikaner voel; hy verloor sy land, sy identiteit en sy taal. Die eerste twee stellings is bloot polities, maar die vraag oor die Afrikaanse taal is oop vir bespreking. Ons moet eers besluit wat 'n demokratiese Suid-Afrika alles sal behels. Die meeste "blanke" Suid-Afrikaners aanvaar en stem saam dat daar 'n nuwe regering, sekerlik nie 'n wit regering nie, na vore sal kom. Dit sal sekerlik 'n nuwe grondwet voortbring en daaruit moet 'n na ionale taal kom. Daar is reeds vier of vyf tale wat deur groot dele van die bevolking gepraat word. Engels, Afrikaans, Zoeloe, Xhosa, Sotho en Tswana en dosyne kleiner tale. Die nuwe regering sal sekerlik een van die volgende tale kies: Zoeloe, Xhosa, Sotho of Tswana, maar daarin lê 'n probleem; nie elke mens in Suid-Afrika praat een van die tale nie, d.w.s. die meeste van die mense praat of Zoeloe of Xhosa of Sotho Of Tswana. Die nuwe regering salook nie 'n groep mense probeer forseer om 'n nuwe taal te leer nie; dit skep nóg probleme. Baie Afrikaners sal weet hoe hulle voorvaders geforseer was om Engels te leer. Dit laat Engels en Afrikaans, die meerderheidtale van die Europese tale. Hoekom nie Afrikaans as nasionale taal nie? Die feite staan: 'n hoë persentasie van alle Suid-Afrikaners kan Afrikaans praat en verstaan; dis 'n maklike taal om te leer skryf of praaten dis basies 'n eenvoudige taal. 'n Mens sou dink dat daar in Namibië 'n "swart" taal as nasionale taal sou wees, maar daar is nie. Een van die nasionale tale is Afrikaans. Hoekom? Omdat dit deur 'n groot gedeelte van die bevolking verstaan kan word. Daar is nog iets in Afrikaans se guns, sy ouderdom. Ware Afrikaans is net oor die honderd jaar oud. 'n Taal wat so jonk is, groei steeds, kan steeds ontwikkel, is nie vasgevang in tradisie, of wat ookal 'n mens dit wil noem nie. As Afrikaans nie verander nie, sal dit verdwyn deur onbruik, net soos een van sy oerstamme, Hoog-Duits, verdwyn het. Deur ons land se geskiedenis, sedert Jan van Riebeeck se aankoms in 1652, word 'n nuwe taal gebou deur Hollander en Engelsman, Maleier en Duitser, Fransman en Hottentot. Dis om hierdie rede dat daar geen suiwer Afrikaans bestaan of sal bestaan nie en dis om hierdie rede dat Afrikaans so baie sal kan verander. Daar sal sekerlik diegene wees wat daarteen sal veg, dis net te verwagte. Die professore aan die universiteite, die taal- "fundi's", die konserwatiewe boere, die taalpuriste. Hulle sal skreeu: "My taal word verkrag." Laat hulle maar skreeu en huil; die gewone man sal glimlag en sê: "Ons taal groci." P. Judge, st. 10

A VIEW THROUGH MY WINDOW The sun had just risen and the horizon resembled an oil painting filled with red, golden-yeUow and orange hues. TIle little boy awoke, stiff and cold from a night's sleep on a hard wooden bed. He folded his single, bedraggled blanket and put it carefully on the end of his bed. He walked over to the single glassless window, sat down on a dirty tomato box, and waited. Suddenly a black starling alighted on the cracked window-sill. The boy's face lit up with joy and he spoke softly to the bird while it ate a few crumbs from his grubby, cupped hand. The boy watched the bird fly to a nearby scrawny tree, and envied it for its freedom. An old man emerged from a nearby shanty and sat in a wicker chair on his stoep; he lit his pipe, grunted contentedly, and began re-reading an old newspaper. A few hungry chickens scratched in the sand between the shanties in the hope of finding something to eat - but to no avail. Four scrawny Chinese children played soccer with a battered plastic milk bottle. The hungry growl of a bulldozer could be heard in the distance. The little boy wondered when it would "eat" the shanties in his area as weU. The sun blazed down on the metal shanty rooftops. A strong wind sent clouds of fine sand billowing into the air. The old man coughed, swore under his breath and went inside. The chickens puffed themselves up and sought refuge in a scant patch of shade. The milk bottle went blowing off down the sandy road. Mr Kawaguchi glanced at his Rolex watch as he sped off in his Mercedes towards the airport for his final departure. However, something deep in his mind told him to visit the shanty town where he had been born. As he came to the end of the sandy road, he was amazed to see only "his" shanty standing. Next to it was a vast pile of rubble; a construction sign stood victoriously on top of the pile, heralding the future. He climbed the rickety wooden steps to his old bedroom and stood by the glassless window, a

distant expres ion on his félce. He IVélSbrought bélck to reality by the loud quawking of éI blélck starling perched on the cracked window ill. He earched hi suit pockets for some crumbs, found none, and turned sadly away, conscious only of a scaring desolation which he knew would be with him always. J. I lahndiek, Std 10

RHINOPIGCHICKENS AS PETS Rhinopigchickens make lovable and fascinating pets, and in lhis essay I will explain how to catch, keep and breed them. Rhinopigchickens are found north of the Mythological Mountains, and up a far a~ Fantasy Swamp, although they are far more common in the Figurative Valley. Rhi.nopigchickens stand about 30 cm at the shoulder and are about one metre long, includ ing the tail. They average at about eight to ten kilograms - although onc bull weighed eighteen kilograms! Rhinopigchickens have a head similar to that of a white rhino and chicken-like body covered in feathers. Although rhinopigchicken~ have wing, they cannot fly,and, as yet, wedo not know the purpo e of them. They have leg much like that of a common, dome tic pig. The head is black, and body striped black and grey. They have iron-grey flank, and a black tail. The females are ea ily distinguished by the bluish linge al the base of the fir t horn, and their large mouth~. Rhinopigchicken can be caught with an ordinary wanglebat trap, if you ·trengthen it with iron bars. Wanglebat trap~ are available at mo t hard\vare tares and are not very expen ive. Hide the trap in long gras and u e amidellia fragrance a~ bait. Ala provide some food and water in the trap. In captivity they quickly become tame, and can live for up la twenty year. After lheir vaccination they can be introduced to the pit. The pit, for 5anima Is, 'hould be one and a half melres high and have an area of 12 m. It 'hould catch morning and afternoon W1 and have 2-4 mall retreat filled with grass. The pit hould also ha\'e a pool large enough for the rhinopigchickens to swim in.

once more, his tentative fingers confirming that the chips were still there. Two hundred rand. His entire life had culminated in this meagre sum. It was all that remained after the devastation of his business enterprise. Burnett was in two minds. Should he risk losing everything and rely on luck which had so often deserted him in his time of need, or should he return to his mortgaged home and attempt to build on the little that he had left? Withoutcoming to a conclusion he found himself drawn to the blackjack table. He seemed to be in a trance. Bemusedly, he watched his hand place a one hundred rand chip on the green felt. His subconscious, his instinct had once again revolted against his common sense. Burnett lost. Flabbergasted, he stared at half of his life being swallowed by the banker's greedy rake. He staggered to his feet and back into the spectators. When would he learn to control his sudden emotions, to look before he leapt? Burnett was on the brink of despair. He wandered towards the roulette wheel and placed the remaining one hundred rand on number fourteen. He noticed that his hands were shaking. The wheel of fortune began its orbit. "Number thirteen," announced the croupier. Burnett turned and fled. He was another casualty of the fierce financial world. His name would be one of many in the list of failures under the heading "insolvency". He dug his hands into the pockets of his hired trousers and walked disconsolately outof the casino. But his anxious hand felt something cold, circular - a one rand cam. A glimmer of hope, perhaps? He threaded his way through the crowd until he reached the notorious one-armed bandit. He inserted the coin and tugged feverishly at the lever. But Burnett, who had become so accustomed to defeat, had already begun to abandon his last hope before he heard an insignificant tinkle. He turned around and saw a solitary coin falling into the basin. The machine suddenly burst into life. Lights flashed, sirens wailed and a silver stream of money cascaded into his hands. He had won the jackpot! What if the one rand coin had not been forgotten in the trousers? What if Bumett had not hired these specific trousers? What if he had not pulled the handle so vigorously" What if ...? Luck, chance, destiny, coincidence had completely altered the course of Stephen Bumett's life. I. Liddie, Std. 9

MRCREED Phosphoglyceraldehyde is what we all do need it keeps the plants healthy inside or so says Mr Creed. He tells us other things as wel) like, all about mitosis and water moving from cell to cell by process of osmosis. He speaks of oxygen in our brains and vitamins A and B. He knows of hepatic portal veins and tubes with microvilli. He knows how every protein's bent. He knows of chlorophyll. And thus we shout our loud lament "We love you, mighty Bill." G. Austin, Std 10 COINCIDENCE "Place your bets, please!" The cry flashed like lightning through the electric atmosphere. It subsided to give way to the continuous shuffle of words, clacking of chips and subdued murmuring of gamblers. The casino - where fortunes are made and lost, where a quirk of fate, a coincidence determines success or failure. But tonight matter of far greater consequence would have to be considered by Lady Luck. Stephen Burnett's appearance betrayed his actual degree of solvency - or rather, insolvency. His tuxedo, leather shoes and mother-of-pearl cuff links contrasted sharply with his present, impoverished wardrobe. He delved into his pocket

During the second term, Littiewood won the inter-house onc-act play competition - this is almost becoming a tradition. Well done to Ihedirectors, Dominic Morel and Graham Truter, and the whole cast. We were placed -tth in the junior hockey and 1rd in the e;enior hockey. Fir toverall in the rugby (a great effort), third in the badminton, second in qua h, third in the golf and debating, and first in the bridge. Although the final result \Vas not known at the time of writing, it is thought that Little\\'ood hae;won the Friedlander hield. The L.ittlewood dance was well organil'ed by the td "5, for the 9's and 10's at the end of the ..,econd term, and wa a "ery enjoyable evening.

WELLINGTON House Master: House Captain: Committee:

HOUSE MrCross C Prins A Wylie, J Webber, P Lautenbach

Once again Welington ha been a team to be reckoned with. We have done well in all pheres of chool life. With the help of the cheer-leaders we have maintained our proud tradition of enthusiasm and motivation throughout the year. The highlights of the year were, undoubtedly, winning Athletic Day and doing well in the Swimming Gala and the Inter-House Play Festival. Our play, "Blue Murder" was a great success owing to the dedication of the actors and their director, G Heald. The inter-house rugby and hockey were played with great enthusiasm and sportsmanship but, unfortunately, without much success. I hould like to thank Mr Cro for hi encouragement and r wish the hou e succes in the future.

CT.

VAN RIEBEECK HOUSE Van Riebeeck House did not fare well in the interhou e competition thi year. This was mainly due to certain participant failing to fulfil their commitment and a general lack of co-operation among hou e members. However, the house won the Junior Seven-a-Side Rugby and fini hed econd in the Inter-House Athletic. We finished third in the Inter-House Plays and the Shooting Competition. This bodes well for the future and wc can improve on most of our achievements this year.

SPORTS DAY 1990

SPORT The highlight of the annual Sports Day was the magnificent 2,01 m clearance by Charles Bent in the U19 high jump. Other good performances were Grant Lewis and Darryn Milne in the U19 and U17 3 South African events. Carl Boettger's great runs in the 200 m hurdles and the 100 m hurdles will also be long remembered. The U19 100 m was keenly contested and was eventually won by Clayton Prins, with Dominic Malan and Mark Chesters in 2nd and 3rd places respectively. All three were allocated the same time of 11,1 seconds .. At the Peninsula Junior Athletics Championships the all- conquering Wynberg once again made history by winning the Schools Shield more than 100 points ahead of second placed Rondebosch. At this meeting James Roberts set a new WPrecord with a distanceofSS,02 m with the U14 javelin. The Triangular was the next meeting and what a great day it was. The singing on the stands was magnificent, the atmosphere electric and the athletics top-class. The Wynberg Boys and Girls combination made a clean sweep of all the trophies. The girls were magic and much praise must go to them for the great improvement in their performances as compared to previous years. The next major meeting was the SASOL meeting. By only 35 points out of 16 000, we were placed third behind Paul Roos and Paarl Boys and were thus not able to go to the national SASOL Championships. Hats off to the 16 boys who gave their best and also Wynberg's best performance in the history of this meeting. At the WP Championships we had many surprises and many champions. The following champions were crowned: Darryn Milne (U17 - 3 000 m), Clayton Prins (U17 -300 m Hurdles), Carl Boettger (U1S - 100 m Hurdles), Michael Arbuthnot (U14 -1500 m and 800 m) and James Roberts (U14 - Javelin). At the end of a long season Charles Bent (U19 - High Jump) and Clayton Prins (U17 - 300 m Hurdles) were chosen to represent WP at the SA Championships. The first for Wynberg since 1983. Many thanks to all the parents for their support and also to my feIJow coaches for making Wynberg one of the leading athletics schools.

ATHLETICS 1989/1990 The 1989/1990 season was one of the most successful seasons yet. It started with the Willard's Prestige meeting. Wynberg comfortably won this meeting with SACS2nd,Jan van Riebeeck3rd and Rondebosch Boys' High 4th. Athletes who impressed were Darryn Milne (U1S - 3000 m; 1500 m); Robin Buck (new WP record in U14 Long Jump); Charles Bent (U17 High Jump) and Grant Lewis (U17 - 1 500 m). Thirty-six athletes were chosen to represent Peninsula Schools at the Inter-District meeting at Moorreesburg. At this meeting Robin Buck excelled at the long jump and Darryn Milne did extremely well in the 3 000 m. The next major clash was the Inter-High Schools meeting, which acts unofficially as the WP Schools' Championships for the fourth term. Although Wynberg did not have many first places, most of our athletes did very well. Among the best performances were Charles Bent with a 2,00 m jump in the U17 high jump and the 6,32 m leap of Robin Buck in the U1S long jump. As a team Wynberg surprised friend and foe by being placed 4th behind Paarl Boys' High, Paarl Gymnasium and Paul Roos Gymnasium. After this meeting Charles Bent was chosen for the Western Province A team and Clayton Prins for the Western Province B team, both for an inter-provincial meeting at Coetzenburg. The fifth annual inter-school relay meeting was held at Wynberg and for the first time in five outings Wynberg won this event, followed by Rondebosch, SACS and Bishops. At the Std 6 meeting which launched the first term athletics, many talented athletes like James Roberts, Michael Arbuthnot, Jonathan Britton and Shaun Atkins did well. In our annual meeting with Bishops and Oude Molen, Wynberg won 28 of the 42 events, which illustrated our athletic strength and talents. At the Bellville Athletics Club's junior meeting, which was sponsored by Hoctors Meat Centre, most athletes started to find their form with Robin Buck, Brian Mawisa, Carl Boettger, Grant Kennedy, Shaun Atkins, Clayton Prins, Kurt Wohlenburg and Mark Pfister all doing well. We narrowly finished 3rd by two points behind Paarl Gymnasium, with Paarl Boys' High the champions of the day.

squad and an under 15 squad competing in the second tier of the Western Province School Basketball League. Despite starting from scratch with a totally inexperienced group of boys, it has been gratifying and encouraging to see how quickly the skills of the game have been acquired and improved in such a hort time. Basketball is an exceptionally fast game, requiring great stamina, delicate skills and an understanding of team tactics. The boys still have much to learn, but they have shown a commihnent and an enthusia m which augurs well for the future. There is no ubstitution in this game for con tant drill and practice and itis vital that everyone who play the game realizes this. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the ea on was a narrow loss to We terford (with two We tern Province Colts in their side) after an earlier "drubbing" by the ame team 74-21. The re ults for the sea on were: Under 15s: 5 win, 1 draw, 1 los Under 195: 4 win, 310sses.

struggled, but in doing so hopefully learnt the valuable lessons about cricket and the way it is played if one wants to be successful. Tt is pleasing to note that our Old Boys continue to feature in the leagues. Alan Lamb's international achievements are well known and it is with pride that we noted his opportunity to captain England. Kevin Bridgens, Les Ryan and Adrian Holdstock have played regular representative cricket, and it surely cannot be too long before Paddy Upton and Brad Bing break into the Provincial B side. On any given Saturday at least 10-14 Wynberg Old Boys are playing 1st league cricket and I kl10W that many are in leagues lower down. Hopefully Wynberg of the 1990s will continue to produce cricketers who will carry on and play the game with the same dedication and commitment which they learnt at school. K.CR.

CRICKET Any cricketer who wants to achieveat his sport at Wynberg has every opportunity at his disposal. There are three turf middles, eleven nets - turf, grava h and concrete, a bowling machi11e, the expertise of a full-time cricket professional, and the opportunity of watching regular good cricket at ewlands. Add to all this the services of a number of teaching staff at the school who give up hours of thei.r time to ensure that the 14 cricket sides of Wynberg practise properly and play their matches regularly. Where all this is taken into account, there is no reason for Wynberg not being at the forefront of cricketing schools - and there is no doubt that it is. One of the problems of junior cricket at Wynberg is that the sport is struggling at a number of our feeder schools. We shall be trying to overcome this by holding regular clinics for junior school boys who are coming to Wynberg. Sterling work ha been done by the junior age group coaches to ensure that the standard of cricket at Wynberg remains high. It is important for boys to learn early the value of disciplined practising, correct technique, and to learn never to accept second best. We are grateful to the U14 coaches of Messrs de Waal, Plantema, Hockey, Ellis and Bulbring for their in trod uction of the game athigh school level. Messrs Connellan, Rushby and Breytenbach carried on the good work in the VIS's, while Messrs RusselI, Maser, Ten Velthuis, Louwand Bromberger ensured that the senior teams always gave their best. The ground staff of Mr Cooper, Mr van Rhyn and Mr Payne tended the pitches and I can confidently state that the fields have never looked better. May we never take our ground staff for granted. We thank, too, all parents who support their sons so regularly. Not only is their presence valuable, but tucks hop and transport duties ensure the smooth running of cricket at Wynberg in 1990. We said goodbye to one of our most loyal supporters, Mr de la Mare, at the end of the first term, but we hope that he will continue to support the 1st Xl in the seasons ahead. Another regular on the side of the 1st XI cricket field has been Mr Ginger Tounley Johnson, who captained the Wynberg Ist Xl in 1929. I hope that our standard of play has not dropped too much since then! As far as progress in the school goes, the 1st and 2nd XIs had a particularly good first term, with both sides recording memorable wins. The 4ili Xl found the second league too much for them, while the UIS As improved with every outing. They have some players who will serve Wynberg with distinction in the years ahead. The U14 age group

1ST XI CRICKET The first term of 1900 was a successful one for the Wynberg 1st XI. Apart from a hiccup in the last game against UCT Colts it is pleasing to report that the first team played with purpose, set high standards and achieved good results. They outplayed most sides they played against in all facets of the game. The leadership of Craig Turvey was astute - he proved to be a thoughtful and demanding captain. He was backed up well by vice captains Aubrey Martyn and Dominic Malan. John Bayly and Dommic Malan opened the batting and on most occasions set the tone with gritty defence, backed up by good running between the wickets. Andrew Wylie and Craig Turvey were the leading run-getters and when they were determined iliere was no schoolboy attack capable of dislodging them. A worrying feature was the middle-order, who struggled to realise that you can only score runs when you are in the middle and you have to stay there first and foremost if you wish to build a target. Aubrey Martyn's left-arm seam was responsible for demolishing much of our opposition's batting. David Askew also captured many wickets, while Andrew Wylie plied his offspinners successfully. We were sorry to lose Alex Wright to Parktown just when he was beginning to come into his own with his left- arm spinners. Mr John During, a past WP "B" captain, was guest speaker at the 1989 Cricket Dinner. He presented the following trophies: Bing Cup for Spotsmanship: Andrew Wylie Upton Cup for Best All-rounder: Bruce Sharp Stovold Cup for Fielding: Bruce Sharp Powell Cup for Batting: Andrew Wylie Bridgens Cup for Most Promising Player: David Askew

that he did not play with confidence against spin. He was, though, a gritty player of pace, a fine runner between wickets, and a competent fielder. Andrew Wylie An all-round player whose value to the side was inestimable. An intelligent spin-bowler, a safe slip fielder and an attractive bat - he had it all. A tendency to lose concentra tion cut short a number of his innings. If he retains his hunger and a proper mental preparation, he will do well in senior cricket.

Craig Turvey He has had a memorable year in all departments - batting, wicket-keeping and captaincy. While he has worked at eliminating errors, he has retained a commendable degree of flair. He has an ideal temperament for cricket - with concentration and commitment being high on his list of priorities. Neil Campbell A hard hitter of the ball who was capable of destroying any attack. Unfortunately, he allowed pressure to get to him on occasions and he has not, to date, made a big score in a pressure game. However, his love for the game is very evident.

Denis Bowditch A talented cricketer in aU departments of the game who must develop the mental toughness which is now necessary to advance further. He has yet to play a big innings because he has not been at the crease long enough. His bowling lacks composure. As a fielder, he is without peer.

PLAYER CRITIQUE

Aubrey Martyn A natural cricketer who is able to dominate in his bowling and fielding. He has the strongest arm I have seen in a schoolboy. He bowls his left-arm seamers with intelligence, accuracy and, occasionally, ferocity. Impatience at the crease has led many of his innings to an early conclusion. His willingness to listen and his infectious enthusiasm will ensure that he will be a player to watch in the years ahead.

Leslie Wylie Another talented cricketer who, hopefully, will blossom in the season ahead. Momentary lapses in concentration have proved his downfall. His batting technique is good, although he needs to get his arm up when bowling. David Askew A fear of failure is inhibiting his progress in the game. Lf he were to commit himself wholeheartedly to his sport, there is no saying where he would end up. He is a valuable member of the side who has taken crucial wickets.

John Bayly A vastly improved player whose enthusiasm and commitment was an inspiration to the side. He was particularly strong on the front foot and played both spin and speed with confidence. Dominic Malan A lack of confidence in his own ability has meant

team, and did a great job, inlproving with each game. We had a good seam attack in Patton, Leipold, Harris, Marai and Whitehead, with B Mulholland providing the variation with his off-spinners. Boys who represented the team were (number of games in brackets): Sutherland (7), Merris (7), B Mulholland (7), Whitehead (7), Marais (7), Parrot (6), McCormick (6), SdlUltz (6), Harris (6), Leipold (6), Patton (4), G Mulholland (3), Wilson (2), Palos (1), Brown (1), Lindeman (1). Results P W L

Adrian Carter Whether it is batting, bowling or fielding, he never gives less than his best. His sharpness in the field has resulted in crucial run-outs while his bowling has been naggingly accurate. He can be proud of his cricket career at Wynberg. Alex Wright How unfortunate we were to lose him just was developing into a promising left-arm ner. Ever ready to listen and learn, he would given Wynberg sterling service. Parktown's is our loss.

2ND XI CRICKET

L.G.M.

The team enjoyed an extremely successful season, winning six of the even games played. Under the excellent leadership of Paul Revington, the team developed into a competent all-round unit. otable performances included Robert Bate' seventy seven runs against Bishops, and Brenton Heron's hattrick against St Joseph's 1 t XI. A feature of the team's performances was the consistently good line and length bowling from the openers, in particular, mention mustbe made ofCharl Willoughby, who has developed into a fine opening bowler. As a result, teams were unable to put their toporder batsmen to good use, and the rest of the damage wa~ inevitably left to the spin-anack, with Brenton Heron bowling exc ptionally well. Although the baning \'\'a incon i tent, there were still some excellent individual performance. The fielding was thorough and a high standard was maintained during the term. TIle side ha been a pleasure to coach, largely due to the excellent teélm 'pirit that prevailed. Finally, a word of thank to Paul Revington, who captained the ide with exceptional ability, and to the parent who upported the team. Results: P WOL 7

The 6th XI cricket ide d id not ha ve too succe sFuI a season in the first term of this vear. Under the rotating captaincy of Van Ginkei: Campanis and McLaughlin and ,·\'ith a fair turnover of player for midweek games the side won only two out of the six fixtures. Effective batsmen were Van Ginkei and Campanis with best scores respectively of 64 and 26, while both McLaughlin and Fermor also achieved respectable scores. In the line of bowling Campanis notched up 10 wickets to the 6 of McLaughlin, and Hartley in the one match he played picked up 6 wickets for 45 minute. Fielding was not of a con istently high 'tandard. The three most exciting matches were tho e against: Rondebo~ch, ,,,'here our core was only 7 and the opponents reached within 11 runs of that total; Zwaanswyk, when Wynberg were all out £or61 but McLaughlinand Campanis brought us back into the game by whittling out the opposition for 32; and Bi hops, when we reached 116 of the 152 runs needed for victory. A final word of thanks to ourer twhilecaptain, Stephen Ooidge, who mi sed the season owing to injury. We trust that he will return to the game for the last term and make his pre ence felt once again.

UNDER 15A CRICKET

The 5th team played 6 matches, lost 4, drew 1 and had one tie. We started the sea on with haky batting, scoring only 44 runs again t Milnerton who oundly beat us by eight wickets. Our bowler had little ucces during the econd match when Rondebosch declared at 176 for two and our batsmen were skittled out for 2 runs. Hope springs eternal and so a return to batting form saw us forcing a draw upon CB . Our next match again t OF Malan was the mo t exciting of the season. We managed to contain their batsmen to a total of92 with a fine spell of bowling by Ollis, who captured 5 wicket for 31 runs. A shaky tart to our batting (1 /5) then a fine recovery to 92 when the nerve of the last batsmen failed and the game ended in a tense ne. Bi hops defeated us in the penultimate match, but some pride was restored when we scored 112 in our final match against Avondale, who narrowly beat us ju t before close of play. To the boy~, who so unflaggingly turned out for practices and matches and optimistically approached every match, a incere thank you. J.G.L.

In ma ny respects the first term of 1990 ha been a mo t ati fying one for the UISA cricket team. With three of the previous U14A team no longer playing or having left the school, as well as injurie to two promising players and a number of very inexperienced players coming into the team, it appeared to be the weakest UIS Wynberg team for a number of years. The re ults in the fir t few games bore this out, with the team being completely outclassed by both Bishop and Rondebo eh. However, by sheer application and hard work and because of a very good team pirit, some of the new players have shown dramatic improvement. With the more established ones beginning to show the form they are capableo£, the team has developed into rather a good one, capable of holding their own. Michael Fletcher and Jacques Kallis have led the team exceptionally well and both have found fine form. Jacques in particular has been outstanding again t SACS. Craig Condie has made great tride as a wicket-keeper and Mark Turvey, tarting very late in the ea on because of injury, played two good knock. Gregory Pentz is de-

veloping into an accurate left-arm spinner, and Garth West bowled well now that his back has improved. Darryl Grisdale i developing into one of the best fielders in the team, while Lee Erasmus has done well both in batting and in the limited overs he has bowled. Bryn Parkin has batted and fielded consistently welL David Wilson, Simon Springett and Andrew Pestana have all been very fine team men, giving their best at all times and contributing to the good spirit. I would like to thank all the parents who have supported the team in so many ways, by watching, transporting, providing kit, helping prepare meals etc. In particular Iwould like to thank Mrs Fletcher, Mrs Condie and MTSPestana for teas and meals, Mr and Mrs Pestana for scoring, Mr Springett for helping with the umpiring and Messrs Springett and Kallis for never missing a ball bowled in any match. The team consisted of M Fletcher (c), J Kallis (vc), APestana, G West, M Turvey, L Erasmus, B Parkin, G Grisdale, C Condie, 5 Springett, D Wtlson, G Pentz. P WOL 7

It is alway difficult to take a number of boys from different school and blend them into a team at short notice during the fir t term. This is made more difficult if most of them are in Std 6 and new to the school. Thus our first term results were di élppointing. The teélm was very weak in two areas; we lacked a strike bowler of real pace and were unable to bowl sides out, despite often having sides in trouble at some stage or other during an innings. evertheless, our bowler always bowled tightly and kept a good line and length. Two bowlers who de erve special mention are Bruce Deneys and Ju tin Rookledge, who bowled tidily all sea on and took the majority of the wickets. However, too often we got a reasonable start only to see three or four wickets falling very cheaply. Although our top batsmen Justin Rookledge, Richard Wallace and LyaU Johnson got going at times, they never went on to make a really big score. The result was that we never gave our bowlers a decent target to bowl at. Our fielding was steady, but never really spectacular. My thanks to Richard Wallace for leading the team w well and the parents for their very loyal upport. W P D L

The following boys represented the side regularly: S Thoresen, A Clark, S Rowe, W Matthews, Weeks, G Kelroe-Cooke, C van der Westhuizen, B van der Westhuizen, S Coetzee, M Alberts, A Dreyer, ABeming, R Hochfelden. M.R

5 1 4 The season was w1fortunately shortened because many of the matches were cancelled. The pupils, however, remained highly motivated and enjoyed the type of cricket which we played. Many of the boy were promoted, which is an indication of the success of the mid-week cricket programme. A special thanks must go to Stefan Bullbring who gave up his time and contributed to the smooth running of the mid-week cricket.

We started the sea on with a new coach, Mr Plantema. Soon after the season got off the mark, our captain was promoted to the A side, and new one was appointed. Our season (lst term) was not very successful, however the side had a great team spirit, owing to the enthusiastic approach by Mr Planterna. Most of all I think the team enjoyed their cricket and, after all, that is what it is all about.

O.E.

At this level of cricket, the emphasis should be on enjoyment rather than on "winning at all costs" and in this regard, the boys had a most enjoyable season. They lost their first game against Oude Molen, but then went on to record good victories against Bi hops, Fairbairn, SACS, Fish Hoek, as well as a mo t exciting draw against a talented Rondebosch side. Their enthusiasm and motivation, as well as the support of their parent, made for a most successful and enjoyable season. The best batsman was Coetzee, with an average of 32 runs, and the best bowler was McCrae, with an average of 5 runs per wicket taken. A.H.

CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING Wynberg once again won the trophy for the Best School in the Peninsula League. However, the athletes did not have things their own way all season. In the under 17 age group SACS proved to be formidable opponents and, try as they might, our under 17 athletes could not beat them. This extremely dose competition wa one of the highlights of the league races during the ea on. The succe s of our under 19 team in the Peninsula League warrants mention, as this year UCT and the SAOF participated in the league for the first time. Another highlight was the unbeaten record of the under 15A team. Unfortunately they did not live up to expectations, finishing 3rd at WP Schools' Championships, and were not placed in the team event at WP Championships. Our senior (combined w1der 17 and 19) team were placed 2nd at WP Schools' Champion hip . A summary of the six league race and the Charles Savage Relay i :

They proceeded to win the next i matches in a row against Rondebosch B, SA ,Table View, Bishops, Edgemead and Bergvliet before, in the la t match, uccumbi.ng to amps Bay with aide less than our be t. Wynberg's stars over the nine holes were ej] Campbell (average 41,7), David Matthews (43), MarcSecchia (44), RyaJl Burgess (44,S) and Wayne Patton (45), while Gordon Scott achieved an average of 47,2. We were all sorry that Dean Scorey was unable to give much of his time to golf this year, missing out on the colours that were awarded to the other six players. However, well done to David Matthew_ on winning the School Championship and to Wellington and De Waal on coming first and second in the Inter-Hou e om petition. The Secund Team wa rather outclas ed in the econd League by other shools' first teams, having a run of five defeats at the hands of Tygerberg

GYMNASTICS The concentration in gymna tic thi ear ha been on Mini- Trampoline, which is now recognized as a port in it own right. Meetings were held during the societie 'period and on one afternoon a week. This year was devoted to developing basic skill as a prerequi ite before attempting larger moves. The club' popularity increa ed enormousl and unfortunately we could not accommodate the numbers of boys wanting to do gym. A solid core of junior ha establi hed a ba e for next year on which we hope to expand. Charles Bent, Chairman, was the mo t improved gymna t. S. de W.

HOCKEY Wynberg entered 18 team!> in the \'ariou league this year. A mo t schools have far fewer teams, most of our lower teams end up playing "higher" teams. For example, it wa nothing unusual for the U14G team to play against a B team. Most teams won more matches than they lo t. The 2nd, Jrd, 4th, 6th, U15A. U15B, U14A and U14C teams each lo t only one match. 11le U15 divi ion, in particular, did extremely well. In the various competition, the better re ults were a::. follows: I 't team reached the final of the Puma Cup and the :,emi-finals of the 7-a- ide; U I-A team won the U15 Field Tournament and reached the emi-final of the Indoor; U14A team reached the finals of the U14 Field Toumament and the semi- finals of the Indoor Tournament. Adrian Carter and Paul Revington were selected for the WP Sdl00ls' team, David Askew for Penin uIa Schools, and Gavin Kruse, Joel Merris and Paul Wibon for the Laurels team. Adrian Carter went on to be ::.elected for the SA Schools team for the third con ecuti\'e year. A Lipp, J Heath and B van der We thuizen played in a False Bav U1 "i invitation team. At the hockey award dinner, the following awards were made to member of the firc;t team: :vlo t Improved Player:) Mallory; ick Pattenden \IIcmorial Trophy for Enthusiasm and Effort: J Merri ; Constantia Hockey Club Trophy for Achievement: A Carter; Bromberger/Clark Shield for Contribution to Hockey: A Carter. Simon Crone did well to umpire at the edbank inter-provincial chool tournament and was awarded his A rv grading. Only three gradings were announced at the tournament and Simon was the only choolboy to be graded. Craig Patton was awarded a WP chool "A" grade, while lan Liddie and Jason Mallory both improved substantially as umpires. Owing to the amount of rain, e:,pecially during the third term, the eason was a frustrating one. \IIy thanks go to the coaches for doing a good job in the e circurn tances. The coache were a follows: M Ru hby (1 t), D Mill (2nd), H ten Velthuis (Jrd), L Kruger (4th and 5th), de Carpentier (6th and 7th), K Richardson (U15A), S Bullbring (U15B), J Buchanan (U15C), T Benson (U15D), L Moser (U14A), J Bradley (U14B), 1 L Galpin (U 14C), G Clark (U14D), P Decker (U14E) élnd A Hocke (UHF and G).

1ST HOCKEY XI The first team was relatively inexperienced, a only three player had regularly repre ented the first team. However, the newcomer re ponded well to the responsibility, and the team generally played good, attractive hockey. The fir t team took part in the Founder' Fe tival during the March holidays, and this experience proved to be a good basis for the rest of the season. A !though the team was ca pable of playing very good hockey, they appeared to be largely incapable of coring goal. Had the team cored two goals per game, they would only have lost one game. On the positive side, the team reached the final of the Puma up and the semi-finals of the 7-aside tournament. Paul Revington did a very good job of captaining the side, while Adrian Carter was a tower of strength as vice-captain and" enior pro". As most of the team are available again ne I year, this means that Wynberg hould be a trength next sea on. A Carter (goalkeeper) Third year A Schools; good technique; good angles; c cellent reflexes; but struggles to reach the shot in the corners.

The third hockey team had a sound season. The team started off slowly and it took a few weeks to sort out positions. They practised hard, were well led by Liam Beattie and soon developed into a very good side. Unfortunately the wet weather during the third term restricted the team to two matches during the third term.

4TH and 5TH HOCKEY XI

Adnan Carter, SA Schools' keeper, in action

The fourth and fifth hockey teams had a successful season. The fourth team captain, Stephen Catto, went up to the third team and was replaced by the equally able leader, Kevin Bacon. Kevin continued to lead the fourths to the many victories (and to our defeat by Rondebosch - the one and only loss of the season!) of the 1990 season. The highlight of the season was when SACS was beaten 2-1 after our team was behind. The fifth team was captained (mostly) by Craig Jewell and won most of their matches. The fifth team players, especiaUy Adrian Secchia, Myles Kennedy, Paul Calvert and Richard Budge, showed tremendous improvement. The "most improved" prize, I think, must however go to Shane Gavin. L.K.

2ND HOCKEY XI This year, through commitment and hard work, the chaps certainly gave an excellent account of themselves. Strong, midfield possession and committed running in front provided several goals. However, we did not score from short corners as often as we should have, consequently our goal tally was not as high as it could have been. My thanks to John for doing a great job in leading the team, to the team for their effort and hard work, and to the parents for their support. O.M.

Paul Revington ~tTetches for the ball

Fletcher were very e citing. The work rate and vision of these links set up manyof our victories. To this must be added the thrust and nair of our three strikers - Darryl Grisdale, Brandon van der We thuizen and Warren Matthews. 36 goals by the three of tJlem is a fine record. Ian Mills came into the side on frequent occasions and acquitted him elf well. The sea on finished on a high note b winning the U15 Field Tournament - the first time that Wynberg has won this trophy .

6TH HOCKEY XI The 6th tcam has had a very good 1990 season. They di played e 'cellent team spirit, encouraging one another on the field at all times. A valuable contribution wa made by Trevor Flint in goals. Gareth Beaumont and Barry Knoll were always dangerous in the oppo ition circle, while Bradley Dixon cored several times with wicked angled shots from the left-wing. Gareth Austin played well in defence. .deC.

UNDER 1SB HOCKEY

Thi ide wa not succes ful thi ca on. The nearest they came to winning was to hold the Pincland 5ths to a 1 a 11 draw. On the po itive ide, the team enjoyed playing the game, never losing heart, even when po ing again t much tronger opponent·. .de .

The U151:3team had a very ucces ful sea on. We scored freely once in ide the circle. A sati fying a peet of the season was the team's hunger to core, even when quite in control of a game, a can beseen in our 12-D \'ictory against Westerford. We beat the major Cape Town chool, including an excellent 6-0 victory over Rondebo ch. Our defence wa always tight, with captain Shaun oetzee marshalling hi players well from the sweeper po ition. The most gratifying a peet was the team' willingnes to run hard and never give up.

UNDER 1SA HOCKEY The UI5A have had a cason to remember. Result apart (which peak for them elves), this side ha learnt that hockey ha many facet. Alan Lipp in goals had a good sea n with only 8 goal again t. Gavin de Klerk, although ca ual at times, was a competent weeper and the half line of John 8ayly, Ja on Heath and Sruce owling covered and tackled weU.

record (3 matches against, 4 for and 1 draw). Three matches were cancelled due to oggy fields. The team, under captaincy of Robert Mey for the most part, had a few regular core members - Bosman, Cotton, TIpping, Marais (goalkeeper) and Carew. Like the Cs, the Ds suffered from performance anxiety in the circle, a problem which appeared to be remedying itself only later in the season. The main goal scorers, however, were Paterson, Pentz (before he fell il!), Mey and Dew. J. B.

UNDER l4A HOCKEY This was certainly the most talented group of U14s we have had at Wynberg, no doubt owing to the great strides made al mini-hockey level by all our feeder schools. The popularity of the port has increased to the extent where seven U 14 team were fielded thi year. Building on ~ome fairly good individual skills the boys oon learned to play a a team, and encountered little erious opposition until midway through the season. In the end the team had an extremely ucce ful ea on, losing only 1 match, reaching the semi-finals of the Indoor Tournament, and playing in the finals of the Field Tournament. Wayne Merris was a fine 'keeper, developing a the season progres ed. He eldom let the side down and brought off some magnificent saves, conceding only 6 goals the whole season. Robert Fowler, our central back, was very difficult to beat in the dribble, and consistently broke down play before it reached our cir le. He and Robert Fenne y, the centre half, distributed the ball well and both have good solid hit. Fennessy was particularly devastating with his hort corner hits, scoring 16 goals in thi manner. Dallas Tacon and Bruce Wilsnagh began the eason playing in the link and half line, but competition wa' fierce, wilh Mark Coetzee and Keith Traill de ervedly fighting their way into the ideo Richard Spence at left-half wa probably the hardest worker on the field. He tirelessly stuck to his wing and manfully brought off many a challenging tackle against opponents almost twice his size. Michael Beattie on the left, and Jason Gordon on the right were our two wings - Michael working particularly weU with his link, and Ja on always running hard for the 50-50 ball. Both were instrumental in many of our movement, which resulted in goals, and both scored a number themelves. Shane Copeland, a very skilful player at left link, was often onto the ball very quickly in the circle and often scored from situations which

UNDER lSC HOCKEY The U15C side enjoyed a succes ful season, losing only 2 matches (against a determined Bellville Tech side and Camps Bay). The season was marked by "away" game, invariably in the northern suburbs, and usually first thing in the morning. evertheless, a fairly consi~tent group of parents (Hoppe, Meuwese, Priday) provided an early morning lift club and the support much appreciated at "away" games. The ide played with aggression, probably the major factor contributing to their success, even though man attempts at goal ended in frustration due to a lack of finishing ability. Major goal scorers included Livesey, Browell, Dew, lark and Winston (captain). Van Druten provided olid defence and Priday wa the mo t improved player. nfortunately for the Cs, Browell and Livesey were promoted (deservedly) to the Bside. evertheless, the team continued to win the few remaining games not washed out by rain with able new recruits from the D side. J. B.

UNDER lSD HOCKEY The D side were unfortunate in that in an effort to give as many players as possible a chance to play, the ide altered frequently. Th.i di ruption was the mo t likely reason for their average match

aro!>e from his attacking play. But it wa centreforward, Tyrone Thomson, who netted most often (17 goals) - thank mainly to his ability to pick up a ball on either side of his body, and a wonderful dummy which flatfooted many opponents. The side wa' ably captained by James Crone who held things together <ltcentre link. Discipline was generally good, and J<lmes must take credit in large measure for this. At theend of the season two toumaments were held, an Indoor and a Field toumament. In the preliminary round of the Indoor toum<lment the ide went through unbeaten, winning their pool. In the final round they were again unbeaten, going through to the semi-final. In a tense match against Rondebo ch, which see-sawed back and forth, the ide eventually lost 2-3. [n the field tournament the team outplayed all opposition, going through unbeaten to the final. Playing Fairmont in the final, they found themselves again t a team who defended heavily, and the match went into extra time. When no result was obtained after extra time the champions were chosen by a eries of penalty flicks. Although Wayne Merri kept out the first two flicks, our own penalty takers could not match Fairmont' and we conceded the cup. Bo s who represented the side were (games played in brackets): Merris (14), Spence (14), Fennessy (14), Crone (14), Beattie (14), Fowler (13), Thom on (13), Gordon (13), Coetzee (11), Copeland (11), Trail!

UNDER 14B HOCKEY The Bs had a highly creditable record this eason. But for a few withdrawals, combined with endof- eason relaxation, they could have been unbeaten. The ide is commended on the high standard of team hockey they played, which enabled them to adapt well to varying condition and to po t some impres ive wins. With 21 players repre enting the ide this year it is difficult to single out individual performances, but Dalia Tacon, Bruce Wil nagh and Andrew Hillier de erve pecial mention. In the field tournament we failed to reach the quarter-finals because we couldn't core any goals. However, we managed two draws, both against A teams. The top goalscorers this ear were: Craig Beautement (23), Dallas Tacon (9) and Ja on Wells ( ). Crateful thanks to parents who provided transport and supported the team, e pecially Me srs Bailey, Hillier and Tacon. J.B.

UNDER 14C HOCKEY There wa a particularly strong U14 hockey diviion thi year, with team from U14A to UI4G, which cultivated a keen ense of competition among the boy. The U14C team member had to work hard to retain their position in the side, even more so with an enthu ia tic U14D team. Our prime motivation wa to develop a trong sense of teamwork, and under the captaincy of Charles Hey and Paul Staal, the team emerged as true winners. After four successive wins in the econd term, we lo t 1-0 to SACS. This game did, however, rughlight a persi tent problem in the team: the inability to core aggre sively. Interaction between team-mates had developed so well from defence to links to forwards, but we had no convincing cutting edge in the circle. The third

teml saw a motivated team, with constantly improving skills, reaping good results and determined to settle the score with SACS. The final SACS-WBHS game saw some potentially good, skilled hockey, especially at U14C level, and the final score (draw 2-2) did ju tice to both teams. A good ending to a succes ful ea on. Well done, chaps. Many thank to the parents who gave our team such great upport.

In general, most of the players improved and became very competent players by the end of the season. This was borne out by the fact that a number of boys were promoted to the D and E teams. A.H.

1990 has not been a good year for schoolboy rugby in outh Africa. After several years of constant attack from the media and certain prominent people, a negative attitude towards rugby ha developed amongst many parents and boys, and there has been a drop-off in the popularity of the game. In the Western Province alone there are 63 teams fewer than last year. The ituation is far worse in the junior schools, with many English primary schools not offering the game at all. At Wynberg we have fielded 17 teams this year, but were often hard-pressed to fill the U19E and U14E. The younger boys in particular have been badly affected in that many of them almo t expect to be eriou ly hurt and have preconceived ideas about which po ition are more dangerous than others. Rugby is a contact game and therefore it is impo ible to totally eliminate injurie . However, the chances of a boy who is physically fit, well coached and who plays the game in the right spirit being eriou ly hurt are very mall indeed in relation to the number of boys who play the game. At Wynberg we continuaUy pu h the view that the spirit in which the game i played i far more important than the results. The discipline of the boys on the field and sportsman hip are continually tres ed. Empha i is laid on enjoyment and the learning of basic skills. The chool i e tremely fortunate in having a competent, dedicated team of coaches and my sincere thanks to all of them for what they are doing for rugby at the chool. Each team has its own coach and there i a elo e spirit of co-operation between u,em. Apart from the coaches, grateful thanks are al 0 due to - the groundsmen under Mr ooper, who faithfully provided us w1th fields week after week, and Mr Rushby, staff member in charge of fields at the school. - lo the tuck hop mothers and the fir t team father for prOViding boerewors rolls and other goodie at matches. - to the parents of the players for transporting teams and their continued upport in rugby matter, a well a all friends of Wynberg rugby.

UNDER 14D HOCKEY TheUnder14Dhockeyteamhadavery ucces ful season by anyone's standards. TIle team lo t only two games. Most of the games were played against teams of a higher league. The players combined well and formed a formidable unit that never gave up. It was this quality that earned them many fine wins.

Coaching the third rugby side this seaso.n wiU always stand out in my memory as a highlight of my ~gby experience at Wynberg. The player, m)' fellow coaches and the parents, all contributed to a vcry enjoyable and memorable seaon. The season did not start off that well: because wc lost 5 matches during the first half of the season. We then managed to sort out a better combination and the team tarted to play the rugby every coach dreams of. Moving Stephen van RJwn to fullback against SACS howed us that he 'hould have pia ed there from the beginning of the eason. The team will all remember how he came into the back line, ran straight through his opposition centres and pa sed the ball to hi viing who went on to score. During the second half of the season the side wa unbeaten, scoring 206 point with only 9 pointcored again t them.

After our squash teams were so successful in the first round of league matches many were promoted and experienced stronger opposition. We split our top strength into two teams in the A league and produced the following results: Stds 8 and 9: A league team second in A league. Matric: A league team fourth in A league.

VOLLEYBALL Wynberg entered the WP Volleyball league for the fir t time this year. Our players improved considerablyover the season and can be proud of their achievements as most of the boys started the seaon with only a rudimentary knowledge of this highJy technical game. Consequently, much time during practice was spent on ba ic technique and po itioning. Our first team was entered in the

Unfortunately, many of their game were cancelled, but they developed into a comp titivecohe iveunHand played well in their matche against more senior boy. By the end of the ea on they were probably the trongest U16 side, and came fourth in the Second League, Open Section. Eight of our boy were invited to provincial trials and five were chosen a part of the Western Province quad, from which the WP teams will be chosen in ovember: nior quad: ean van der Vlugt.

WATERPOLO UNDER 19A

The first water polo team for 1990 tarted out a a young and inexperienced ideo But through dedication and hard work they gained valuable knowledge and experience during the eason. Thanks to the coaching of Mr Lamoral and Mr Melliar the team ha triven to play attractive water polo while functioning as a single unit. Playing in both the SACS and Wynberg tournaments, the team played well and achieved atisfactory re ults. During the first term the team narrowly lo t to SACS and Bishop while faring well in the re t of the matche . During the September vacation the team participated in the SACS-Jimmy Z tournament, playing again t highly rated Durban and Ea tern Cape chool. The side battled to hold their own again t generally fitter and more e perienced ides.

Final results were: P W

game that ended at 6-6. Captains Kurt ilsen and ShaUll Montgomery provided good leadership for the C and D teams respectively. S. de W.

After this the ide embarked on a short tour to Durban with the main aim of gaining experience for the younger players in the team. After losing the first two games against trong King Edward and Durban High sides, Wynberg showed their detemlination b oundly beating Westville, narrowly losing to Maritzbcrg College by one goal and drawing with Pinetown in the last game. The team were well ho ted bv the Durban chool and in between games the Wynberg touring party was able to ab orb ome of the intere ting ights of Durban before returning home on 6 October. The final hurdle of the season, the Ma7inta Cup, li ahead and, with the Wynberg team gaining more and more experience, they have the potential to do well. In conclusi n, the players and coaches wish to extend their sincere thanks to the fund-raising mother - and especially Mr Thoma -hoff - for the tremendous amount of time and effort they put in during the cour e of the year in order to rai e tour funds. Your effort are sincerely appreciated. The team for 1990 was: j Ra -Munro (c), C Thomashoff (vc), Perkins, C Pfister, McGregor, R Codfrey, S Abbott, R Opie, W Beaumont, S Beaumont, R Roo and Alllamashoff. j.R-M.

Mr Jan Melliar: 1st Water Polo team coach

UNDER 19B The se and team had an extremely good ea on in spite of being a very oung and inexperienced side with only 4 matrics in it. The team lost only onc game, against ACS (2-1) in the opening match of the sea on, and then they went on to either beat or draw against the other id the played. The side played in two tournaments where they gained valuable experience against variau first team. The team has great potential and will no doubt have a great impact on Wynberg water polo next year.

UNDER 19E and F The E and Fide had an excellent ea on in the ummer of 19 9 and 1990. The E ide was unbeaten in the fourth term of 19 9 and lost two matche in the first term of 1990.

UNDER 19C and D Both teams made an indifferent start to the year, owing to a lack of kill . Once the emphasis in practices had b n hilted largely to kill development, both team improved visibl with each game. A mea ure of the team's improvement was the return game against Bi hop where, after being badly beaten early in the year, Wynberg showed greater competence and held their own ec nd time around. The mo t entertaining performance of the a on wa again t St Jo eph , where the sides were evenly matched in a tight
