avy blue and white became the school's colours in 1893 and the first school badge was worn - a very simple design featuring an intertwined WHS. With the disappearance of the Wynberg Municipality, permission was granted for the school to adopt the municipal crest, changing only the motto to SUPERA MORAS. The insignia within the four quarters represent: three things- from the coat of arms of Jan van Riebeeck; anchor - Cape of Good Hope; tent the garrison stationed at the Military Camp, Wynberg; vine and fleur-de-lis - the viticulture in the Constantia valley and the French influence on this activity. The school's boarding establishment in 1893 was a home from home for boys from as far afield as Johannesburg. The LittIewood House of today provides hostel accommodation for boys from as far away as Namibia. Soccer (Association Football) was introduced at the school in 1897. In 1906 there was a revival of rugby. Soccer, although it continued to retain some popularity, began to lose its grip until, in the 1920's, it disappeared from the school. Rugby is now Wynberg's chief winter sport. Cricket at Wynberg may have had its origins in the extra-mural activity ''balslaan'', an unusual blend of cricket and rounders which was played with great gusto and much bruising. Later, in the years 1890 and 1891, cricket became a fashionable and popular game. In 1898 Mr D A Bethune, founder and first OC of the school's Cadet Corps was appointed to the school. The tradition of the Cadet Corps has been proudly carried by the school's Cadet Band which for the past 23 years has been winner of the Western Province Command Cadet Band Competition. In 1921 boys were given a greater share in the discipline and organisation of the school. They were encouraged to accept responsibilities and to practise self-discipline. In October of that year Mr Clegg appointed G H Eddy as the first head prefect. In January 1922 the first prefects were announced and presented with silver badges which marked the first appearance of the present school crest. In January 1941 Mr Arnold Lorie assumed his duties as the first headmaster of a separate school for the boys in the junior phase of the school and it did not take him long to imprint on the school his unique tyle of leadership. During his headship he established a fine tradition of music and drama at the chool. He started a chool orchestra of High and Junior School pupils (augmented by Old Boys)

EDITORIAL At 11 o'clock on the 1st of JuLy, 1841, Dr P E Faure of the Dutch Reformed Church, Wynberg, opened a public meeting with a prayer in which he gave thanks that the Wynberg Established School was to open its doors for the first time. It was a co-educational school which was to admit pupils irrespective of their colour or creed. Teaching was to take place in a single room hired from the Ordinance Department. The building, Glebe Cottage, had been erected by the Royal Engineers during the first or second British occupation. In December 1841 Headmaster, John McNaughton, reported that his school was educating 49 boys and 16 girls. However, by 1853 the last girl had left the school and by the middle of the 1880's the Department accepted the tradition and "Boys" wa appended to the official designation of Wynberg Increasing pupil numbers resulted in a move to more substantial quarters on the corner of Aliwal and Tennant Roads in January 1845. A letter written in 1855 by Mr Mc aughton aptly describes the educational role of the school in the Wynberg community: '1 have educated lads from almo t every district of the colony - ome of my boys have become land surveyors, others have commissions in the Army or in the Frontier police force. A few have embraced the medical profession and a few more are now in Europe studying for the Church." After 22 years of dedicated ervice Mr McNaughton retired. He was the first of a series of long- erving Wynberg headmasters: E T Littlewood, 1892-1919; WA CIegg, 1919-1947; WEBowden,1947-1964; R Blackbeard, 19651983. The present high school headmaster, Mr Rowan Algie, was appointed in January 1984 and he is the 11th headmaster of the High School. Later in 1891 work began on a new school building which was designed by Sir Herbert Baker. Thi building, now renovated, has been occupied by the Junior School since 1981, when the High School moved to the present impressive building off Lovers' Walk and adjoining the Labia Estate. In July 1892 Mr E T LittIewood was installed as headmaster of Wynberg School. He was the embodiment in fact of all that Mr Chips stands for in fiction. Tall, slim and lean-faced, with a thin moustache and twinkling eyes, his voice and unhurried speech were at once the delight of the virtuou and the dread of the transgressor. 9

ued to flourish - Jan 00 thuizen wa indeed an all-rounder. His greate t achievement i probably the dedication with which he guided the development of the new school compie . Great a hi pride at the official opening of the newly-renovated and extended Junior chool campu by the Hon. Gene Louw, then Admini trator of the Cape. lt wa fitting that the last three year of Jan o thuizen's di tingui hed career were rewarded with the wonderful facilitie for which he had laboured SO hard. For the fir t time in it forty-two ear hi tor as a . eparate in tituhon, the JUnior School had three field of hi own. At Jan 00 thui7en' ugge tion, these were named after Mr "Tem" Cawood, th fir t Chairman of the Junior hool Committe , Mr Eric Ta ker and Mr "Ginger" Townl y-John on, three mo t di tingui hed Wynberg names. There wa al 0 an Impo ing pavilion and an eight-liln swimming pool. Th pavilion tand as a tangible memor of Jan thuizen and hi \Vork at Wynberg. In Januar 19 6 the pre ent principe", Mr Hugh Killop , wa~ appointed a the third headma ter in 45 year The JUnior hool has had it share of colourful t achers. but sp ial mentl n mu t be made of \111 "Kath" Lacey. There must be many hundred of Old Bo's who will remember with

which reached impres ive height and performed at many chool function and at occaion. organised b local cultural and charity organi ations. He al 0 encouraged the e tablishment of a chool choir. Mr Larie founded the Mu ic and Drama ociety which, under his in pired guidance, nouri hed. During hi year a head of the chool there wa an annual production and a kindergarten show and these alway went down well with audience. It i hardly urprising that hl ucces r, Jan 00 thuiLen, uggested that the new hall of the newly-reno\'ated old High hool complex be named in honour of Arn Id Lone. Mr Jan OosthuILen took the rein a Headma ter 10 1971. H continued the work tarted by Mr Lone and, in his quiet, gentlemanly way, developed and built on the work started by his predece !:>Or.He alomade many IOnovation , among them the introduction of a Junior hool prefect b dy and vanaus ~tructu~ within the orgamsatIon of the ~hool. Like Mr Lone, he had the re pect and affection of both staff and pupib. A port man him elf (10 ever) sen e of the word), he e tended the e tra-mural programme. A~ the :.chool grew, the number of team~ entered In the 5<.hool ' leagues Increased. Ches wa Introduced and musIC and drama contlO10

affection their kindergarten years under the triet, loving and ever-watchful eye of Mis Lacey. Many will remember the dramatic production of Me dames Tasker, Boehmke and McClurg. 19 3 saw yet another landmark: De mond Wiehahn (master-in-charge of the Music Department) et to music the word of the School Song, which had been penned by former Vice-Principal, Jame Goodacre. In 1991 Mrs Althea Clew, Head of Department of the junior Primar Department, wrote the words for a Junior chool Hymn, which MrWiehahn et to music. In their 150 years of exi tence Wynberg Boy' High and Junior Schools have sent out into the world young men who have later di tingui hed themselves in many spheres of human endeavour. Prominent among th m are men like Den Reitz - oldier, author and tate man; 1 0 du Pie i - poet, academic and hancellor of the Univer ity of the We tem Cape; Profe sor Michael GeHand - a world figure in the field of African Medicine and Tropical Di ea e ; Jack LittIewood - mathematician of international renown; Air ice-Marshall C W Meredith, KBE, CB, AFC; David L tton - author; john Rourke botani t and head of the Bolu Herbarium; "Ginger" Townle -John on - authority on South African rock art; and Mendel Kaplan and tanley Lewi - entrepreneur . On the field of port Wynberg ha produced uch luminarie a cricketer Aubrey Faulkner, Garth le Rou and Alan Lamb; rugb players Doug Hopwood, Lionel Wilon, Dave tewart and Rob Louw; ho key player Ro Clarke and rachtsman john Martin. Toda, the Wynberg Boy' School hav~ a combined enrolment of more than 1300 pupil . Both are bu y chool in which the bo s are encouraged to participate in the many activitie that are offered. The teaching taH trive to fo ter the academic, cultural and ph ical potential of the pupil and al 0 to make them aware of their piritual needs and moral respo~ibilities. At the end of 1990 the parent and taH of both hool voted overwhelmingly in favour of opening th Wynberg Bo 'School to pupils ?f all race. 0 decision could have been more fitting on the eve of .the school' 15?th Anniver ary, for thi actIOn er~e? to rerrund the chool' community of the ongmal purpo e of the chool at it inc ption. lt wa the putting into practice of what parent and ~eacher .felt wa n ed d if a ju tand harmol1lou oClety wa to be created in South Africa.

FROM THE HEADMASTER Each year, in thi note, 1 have tried to highlight those events which have been special to the year. 1991 ha been an e traordinary year. However, I hould like to highlight three important events or milestones reached. Fir tly, it ha been the year in which we have celebrated 150 years as an educational institution. We have celebrated on a number of varied but uccessful occasions which, I believe, have in variou ways involved the entire Wynberg community. Secondly, Wynberg opened it door at the beginning of the year to all South African '. Th.e impact, at this point, i negligible, but the mdtcations are that our new admissions policy will certainly bring greater challenge and a new dimension to the school. Thirdly, titi year ha een the culmination of three projects which have added con iderably to the chooJ. The alteration to Silverhur t were completed and the building was 0 cupied a a ho tel in June. A computer room, to be known as the Philip $chock Computer Room, has been created and fully equipped. Finally, the Wynberg House pavilion has been completed. , All in all, a good year for Wynberg Bo High School. R.CA.

FROM THE STAFFROOM ot only wa 1991 the 150th birthday of the School, but alothe year in which MrKBlom completed 25 ear of teaching at W nberg. Thi i a fine e ample of dedication and a commitment to long-term educational ideals. Joining the taff thi year were Mes r L Hoefnagel and W tanford and Mr R Brand. Life in the taHroom ha become more lively ince their arrival. Unfortunately Mr Brand is only with us for the year. We wi h her well and will mi her friendly pre enee in the taHroom and in the Afrikaans Department. During the year Mr S de Witt left to pur ~e dream oversea. The more adventurous pupIl will mi the outing up mountain and gorge or over bridge. Mr de Witt wa with u for 1 month , and in that time had carved him elf a niche in the activities of Wynberg. We hope that he will return to teaching. In hi place arrived Ms B de la Croi . Her creativity and ad\'enturou pirit were soon appar11

On leave for the whole of 1992 will be Mr J Louw, who will be tudying for a BEd degree at UCT, and Mr M Moore, who will be teaching and travelling over ea . On leave for long period during 1991 were Mr M Lamoral and Mr P Louw. In their place we welcomed Mr D Gib nand Mrs Muller. Both teacher di played an incredible versatility and dedication to their tasks. For their contribution we thank them. With the laboratory a i tant, Mr MPet ren, on leave, the Science Department had a whole lot more on their plate. They coped well, but no doubt looked f rward to his return. Our a itant, Me sr Peter en and Ruiter, make our IIv mu h easier. Silverhur. t became a ho tel durlOg the year, and Mr de Carpentier became the Sup rmtendent. He and hi family are now, more than ever, famjliar faces around th hool tate. A pedal word of than!.... mu t go to the hool secreta ne ,Mr G Joubert, Mrs S Icurdl and Mr M Williams. Few pc pIe would put up \\11lh what they can handle 0 ea ily. ft n we nt:'glect th m, but we alway appwciate them

Her teaching career lies before her and we wi h her every succes a he continues to make a contribution to education. Mr J Kruger left to teach at D F Malan High School. We thank him for the time and effort put into the Choir and Mu ic Department. An old friend of the chool, Mr B Botha, took hi place at very short notice and wa with u for two terms. He put time and effort IOtO all he did, pending countl s hour with the Cadet Band and Choir. The Choir Fe nval which he and M Galpin put together was a highlight of the 150 Celebrations.

Martin played rugby, badminton and water polo for the chool and wa an active member of the mountain club, taking part in and helping to organi e many hike. In his matric year he served on the Cultural Committe and made a valuable contribution to the clubs and ocietie at the school. Martin will undoubtedly be best remembered for his impeccable academic record. He ,·\'a rewarded with an "A" aggregate in his final ma tric e a mina tion in 1990. We will always remember Martin a a quiet, reserved, yet determined young man, one 'who knew what he wanted out of liCe and set his goals accordingly. He was, in fact, a young man any chool would be proud of. We offer our incere condol nee to the Cleveland famil through our thought and prayer.

"Shorty", a he wa affectionatel known, gained re peel becau e of his kill in imparting knowl dge and he gained affection becau e of "his gentle, paternal attitude and because he made individual feel that they were important to him".

Mr Eric Ta ker

OBITUARY: ERIC TASKER

WBHS 1934-1967 Eric Ta ker' interests were wide. He wa greatly interested in theatre, ballet, music, films and Engli h literature and he wa a faithful upporter of the school' cultural life through his regular attendance at choolorche tra concert, choir performance and drama productions. In fact it wa at Wynberg that he met his charming and talented wife-to-be, Mi s Erica Gobbett. Erica' contribution to drama at Wynberg wa exceptional. She produced many operetta and play and he wa respon ible for the first High School production of a Shake peare play, "Juliu aesar". Eric Ta ker gave a lifetime of devoted ervice to Wynberg and our chool' life and reputation ha been the richer for hi contribution. In mourning hi pa ing we remember with affection and re pect a schoolma ter of unu ual d' tinction. We expre our deeply felt sympathies to his daughter, Adrienne, and her hu band, Alan Gregory.

With the passing of Eric Ta ker on 29September 1991, Wynberg lost another of those former teachers who e name have become an in eparabie part of the chool's hi tory, tradition and achievement. To his colleagues and pupils he was a teacher who di played ability, energy, conscientiou nes and ympathy. Eric pent thirty-three year at Wynberg and in that time he distinguished himself in a number of pheres. He was a timulating teacher of history. For several years he wa in charge of the chool' prefect and in hi long a sociation with the coaching of athletics it wa he who establi hed the tradition of our annual Sport Day. He wa al 0 a fir t fifteen rugby coach of ingular di tinction. Alf Morri , writing in the 1966 chool magazine, had this to say about Eric's contnbution to hool rugby: "Tt i unlikely that any other man in the Peninsula ha played important a role in hi chool' rugby life as Mr Tasker ha In hi . Long and valuable ervice given to the Committee of the We tern province Schools' Rugby Football nlOn has re ulted in his being elected a Life Member, an honour accorded to very few"

Mr D Russel! ( ubject head) MrHJonker Mr C Ellis The Accounting Department has continued to strive for high academic standard with a view to preparing pupils fully for a tertiary ed ucation. The matric results of 1990 were good, with Craig Mitchell, Andie Gaylord and Martin Cleveland all achieving A aggregate. Unfortunately we till seem to have a number of weak hlgher grade pupils persi ting at that level with a view to achieving matric exemption. The tandard grade cour e offer a horter yllabu and far impier final e ams, and would be much better suited to the epupils. We have continued to stress the importance of pupil learning 'busines ' technique. Pupils should not only know their work well, but there hould be strict elf-di cipline with regard to pre entation of work, exam and te t-an wering techruque and general work organisation. Thi i of vital importance especiall to tho epupil intending to tudy further at university level. It ha been interesting to note that more and more pupil are taking accounting with a view to puruing a career in that line after chool. The ubject ha defirutely improved it tatus as an 'academic' ubject which require good di cipline and hard work. The new yllabu i al 0 very much geared to a univer it education and i th r fore a definite forerunner to good results in thl field at a univer ity. ubject enrichm nt ha consi ted mainly of introducing the junior tandard to the bu iness environment in th form of the toek e change. Pupil interest has been keen and involvement in project work and cIa room di u ion ha been thorough. At th other end of the cale, the matric have worked well over the pa t few month, and I am confident of good re uIt at the end of the ear. We \ ish the matric every ucces with their e am at the end of the year. Finall , a word of than . to Mr Clark Elli for all hi hard work in the department. Mr Elli lea e u at th nd of the third term and \ e welcome Mr helly in hi place and tru t that h will enjo h r tay at the hool. D.H.R.

Aan die einde van 1990 het Mnr Blom na 'n tydperk van 24 jaar besluit om die teuel as vakhoof neer te lê. Wynberg Hoïr Seunskool, en veral die Afrikaanse Departement, wil hiermee dankie sê vir wat hy oor die jare opgeoffer het vir die Departement en vir Afrikaan . Die skool is egter gelukkig dat Mnr Blom nog steed met die Afrikaan e Departement is en on hoop en vertrou dat hy in die toekoms nog teeds 'n leidende rol sal speel in die departement. . In die vinnig veranderende uid-Afrika word al hoe meer druk op die Afrikaan e taal geplaas. Afrikaan a land taal kom al hoe meer onder be preking, leerlinge begin al hoe meer negatief taan teenoor die Afrikaan e Taal en on hoor Afrikaans al hoeminder a 'n omgang taal. Ver keie rede word hiervoor aangevoer, o.a. die ge kiedenis, politiek, 0 iale druk en ommige wanopvatting oor die gebruik moontlikhede van die taal. Die praktyk en onlang e onder oeke bewy egter dal hierdie ogenaamde weer tand teen Afrikaan oorbeklemtoon word. Een van die departement se belangrikste take is en bly teed om die Tweede Taal leerlinge in so 'n mate voor te berei odat h pontaan kan kommunikeer met die buitewêreld. Ten pyte van al die negatiewe gevoelens oor Afrikaan bly dit nog teed een an die belangrikste kommunika i middel . Onlang eonder oeke het getoon dat ten min te 43,6% van die bevolking Afrikaan praal en verstaan; dat Afrikaan naa Zulu en ho a die derde groot te hui taal in uid- frika i . Bogenoemde feite in ag geneem, het die Afrikaan e Departement du nog teed 'n uiters belangrike rol te peel om die leerlinge d.m.v. mondeling en krifteJike kommunika ie te leer hoe om te lui ter, te ver taan, te praat, te lees en te kryf, en sodoende plek met gemak 27

te kan inneem in die Suid-Afrikaan e samelewing. Ten lotte wil ek graag langs hierdie weg die per oneel van die Afrikaan Departement bedank vir hullojaliteit en baie keer ondankbare werk wat dikwel onder moeilike om tandighede voltooi moes word. 'n Spesiale woord van dank aan Mev Muller wat vir Mnr Polden in die eerste kwartaal en vir Mnr Louw in die derde kwartaal ingestaan het. Haar harde werk word op pry gestel.

1991 ha been an exciting and challenging year with the 150 celebrations providing the art pupil with an opportunity to share their work. The standard of the exhibition wa a rewarding reflection of the enthusia m and commitment of the art pupils. The Std 6 group has followed a formal course during which they have learnt to manipulate visual element, media and techniques. Thi work la a broad foundation from which the pupils can develop as individuals. The Std 7 group has concentrated on paint technique and has e pecially enjoyed e ploring metamorpho i as a concept in art. The enior tandards have worked on theme which involve preliminary work on a formal ba i from which individual option are e plored, resulting in per onal expre ion. Here creativity combined with skill comes into play, demanding a high level of dedication. Definite progre i being made in the Art Department and 1 would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the art boys on their effort and urge them to keep striving for their personal best.

We began 1991 in a rather disappointed and perplexed mood as our 1990 matric class did not produce the ort of results that we have expected and received from Wynberg matric cia es in recent years. Trying to pinpoint the rea on or rea on for the e unsati factory results has been difficult. evertheless, we are hoping that the efforts we have made thi year will en ure that our 1991 matric produce sound results in their final e arrunation. 1991 has been a year of numerou taff change in our department. Mr teven deWitt left Wynberg and teaching at the end of the second term. We thank him for the work he has done during hi eighteen months at our school and we wish him well a he journey over eas. Mr deWitt' po t wa filled by M Berenice de la Croi in the third and fourth term . She has already hown her elf to be both enthu ia tic and innovative in her approach. A part of our 150 Celebrations we held an e ay competition at the end of the econd term. Each boy in the chool ubmitted an essay and prizes were presented to cla and tandard winner at a chool a embly. We once again entered boys in the Std6 InterSchool' Spelling ompetition, while Capab pre ented a et work program to our matric in the chool hall. We hall be lo ing the ervice of both Mr MIchael Cowdry and Mr George Hill at the end of 1991. Mr Cowdry ha been at Wynberg for the pa t two ear and made a valuable contribution to our chool. He ha been a con cientiou and ympathetic teacher-coun ellor and contributed much to the chool' extra-mural activitie . He leave with our thank for a job well done and our best vvi he for hj future.

Geography i unique in the en e that enrichment and the principles of lateral thinking are not only de irabie, but al 0 required in the preamble to the syllabus. The aim of geography teaching i that boy taking the subject will not only learn facts relating to the sub-disciplines of mapwork, climatology, economic geography, etc, but that they under tand trends, proce es and change taking place phy ically, and in human ociety; and what the multiple underlying cau e of these change are. With undertanding and empathy, the geographer hould be able to evaluate and determine way of olving problem. In thi regard, various excursions were undertaken. The td 6' went to the observatory, while the StdT went on an urban trail through Wynberg about which they had to submit an a signment. The Std's went on a geomorphological trip to the Sea Point area and ignal Hill, while the Std9' incorporated geomorphology and oceanography into their ape Point e cur ion. Both of these groups also completed a ignments relating to their trip. G ography ocietyeffort have alway been met with a lukewarm re ponse by parent on Open ight and with thi in mind it was decidd to adverti e a twenty-minute lecture to b hared by five of our enior boys. It was to be an informative introduction to interpreting weather and weather pattern, with moving visual image and practical chalk work. Unfortunately no parent arrived and the lecture was aborted. The boy felt that the taH hould re-evaluate Open ight. We were plea ed with two new addition to the department, viz Mr Stanford and Mr Hoefnagel. Both fit in very well with the pleasant etho of the department. Mrs Gib on replaced Mr Lamoral for the third term. We will mi the contribuhon of this experienced and thorough teacher.

The Std lOs have enjoyed their many discussions - did Cicero have a hand in Caesar's death? If Aeneas had not reached Italy, what would have happened? Having been through Greece and Rome for five long year they now are reaching port. I wish them good luck and hope their reward is in keeping with their input.

Number of boys doing Mathematics

THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT

All boys in Stds6 and 7 do Mathematics, while in Stds8, 9 and 10 they have the option of Maths or Hi tory. In total, there are approximately twenty boys not doing Maths. Maths is still een by mo t boys and their parents as a subject "that boys have to do". This can result in a boy who ha very little aptitude for Maths continuing with the ubject even though he fail it every term. Apart from the obvious effect on his aggregate and his chances of pa ing or not pa sing a standard, it al 0 erodes his self-confidence, and this must be con idered carefully when the decision to do Maths is taken.

Teachers:

It has certainly been a year of significant changes in the Music Department. This, of cour e, happened quite aptly in our 150 Anniversary year, a change can alway be a very challenging point of growth. We bade farewell to Mr Johan Kruger at the end of the first term, and wish him well in his new post at D F Malan. Mr Brian Botha very kindly consented to fill in temporarily until Miss Bernadette Fassler returned to the Mu ic Department in the fourth term. Being close friends (as previous colleagues) this hiEting combination i certainly more constructive than it suggests. I am only sorry that Brian, Bernadette and J can not work together in a three-post Wynberg department. Within all the changes there ha been ignificant development in the Music Department. Our choir numbers have increased dramatically, and we congratulate them on their outstanding performance at the 150 Anniver ary Choir Fe tival. On a broader scale, what we have appreciated tremendou ly this year ha been the incorporation of the Cadet Band, and the Art Department into the Music Department. Many thanks to M icola Jordan, John Gray, Connell Everett, and the Art Society, for de igning and painting a beautiful mural on our corridor wall. Individual achievement have been of a very high tandard this year. Special mention mu t be made of Stephen Barnard in td , who ucces full auditioned for a po ition in the country' first guitar orche tra. They are performing "Bolero" on SABC TV.

The Standard Grade mark were di appointing with only a few top mark and 2 failures. We till did not manage 10 A's, but with 5 Higher Grade A' (Martin Cleveland, Peter Judge, Craig Mitchell, Serie Shuman and Shaun van der lugt) and 1 tandard Grade A (Stephen Doidge), we are nearly in line with the pa t re uit and are till keeping our lead over other ubject which are improving fast to give more competition. We unfortunately had 1 Higher Grade and 2 tandard Grade failures which resulted from Iligher Grade' refusing to drop to tandard Grade and tandard Grade' uffering from lethargy and no self- dil.cipline.

about our environment. This "scientific method" we attempt to instil in our students by an emphasis on practical work (construction of models, application of principles to everyday phenomena, research and field work) wherever possible. Some of the work produced this year has been of an exceptional standard and is a tribute to the enterprise of the pupils and to the teachers who have encouraged and, in many cases, insi ted on work of a high quality. ot content to rest on laurel, member of the department are involved in continual evaluation of our effectivene a teachers and of our success in achieving aims.

At the moment the pupils are working very hard on their models in a very well-equipped woodwork room. It is very plea ing to see that there are pupils who actually realise that by using all their pare time they can make an above-average woodwork project. It is such a pleasure teaching pupil who can't wait to come to the woodwork room and work on their models at break times, afternoon off and even over weekends. The e are the pupils that make teaching woodwork so rewarding because they are very eager, keen and willing to give of their best. Ju t to mention, the Std's - the dartboard cabinets and the bedside cabinet are of a very high standard. The Std9's - the beechwood and oak chairs are well designed and crafted. The Std lO's - here we have a large variety of models: André van Zyl' twelve-seater afrormo ia and imbuia table with chairs; Don, Bradleyand John's Wel h dre er; Pope Opie and Lindeman' 'jonkmanskaste'; Le Rou 's oak dres ing table; Marai and Kmght' table with drawer.

BIBLE EDUCATION

returned to the school to answer any questions. WBHS acted as hosts for a Rotary Careers Evening for WBHS, WGHS, Herschel, Bergvliet and orman Henshilwood, giving students exposure to some 43 careers. The matrics were given the opportunity to attend the Cape Technikon Careers Day and the Std9's went through to Goodwood for the Careers 2000 exhibition. All Std8's and 7's have completed their IQ testing and all Std7's have completed aptitude tests to help decision-making concerning subject choice and careers. I have been seeing two to three students a day, an indication that they are becoming aware of 'the ear' available to them. 1 will be over ea next year in order to gain some experience and further my horizon. I shall miss the guys and the school.

Once again this year the Bible Education Department has benefited profoundly from the concept and the implementation of the Pa toral Period which occurs daily between period four and period five. Each class receives three periods of Bible Education in a nine day cycle at this time. During this period the entire staff body is allocated to either Guidance, Reading, Cultural or Bible Education lessons. Generally those teachers with a strong Christian commitment and a firm faith in the Scriptures are given the Bible Education lessons to look after and this is therefore ideal. This year the Department of Education has phased in the new "syllabus" for Bible Education which has been put together by teachers from various centres in the Cape who have found the old academic style yllabus difficult to apply. They have supplied a fair amount of carefully thought out worksheets and tudy-aids for the teachers to use as resource material and there i till more to come. Instead of approaching the subject in the academic pirit, teacher are now encouraged to make the Bible relevant to real life i sue and there are module uch as "Dealing with Life's Cri e " induded in the course. The school ha al 0 recently acquired a large number of the books to uppIement the reference books in the library for the teachers to u e in preparing le ons. They are encouraged however at all times to keep their di cussions and related cia SToom activities Christocentric.

THE MEDIA CENTRE The Media Centre has had ome difficulties this year although there have been highlight too. Of the latter the seminar in April, for monitors from other choals, hosted by Wynberg Library and audiovisual monitor, stands out. 10 chool were represented and after a set of activities which included reviewing new books and brainstorming olutions to ecurity problems, a braai and social was held which provided an opportunity for the pupils to relax together. In July a vi it to the Sea Point High School Book Festival stimulated the intere t of the monitors and in a mall way rev,rarded them for all the hour they put into erving the school. Four monitors did the chool proud when they participated in a book discussion at St George' Grammar School. 22 monitor do good work, although thi year we have mis ed the experience of the enior boy who left to devote more time to their studies. Mention mu t be made of four StdlO boys who erved the school admirably for most of their high chool careers. Stuart Brown, Mark van Eys en, Doran Knight and Ja on Phillip are to be thanked most sincerely for their help and upport and our best wi he go to them.

to 2pm every day she assists in the library and has done wonderful work acquisitioning new stock and helping to complete the computeri ation. 275 new books have been added this year. An effort has been made to fill gaps in the reference ection and pleasing additions have been made to the Art, atural History and Geography sections. Since we began issuing books on the computer, the computerisation of the rest of the stock has been slow, but will definitely be completed thi year. In 1992 we hope to purchase another monitor and keyboard so that boys will be able to search the catalogue independently. Difficulties have temmed mainly from the user's lack of care for what the media centre offers. Rough handling of audiovisual equipment, stealing and defacing of books and periodical are not problems peculiar to Wynberg Boys' High School. Increa ingly libraries have reali ed the need to install security device and plans for tighter ecurity in our media area are well on the way to execution. Of cour e, the majority of u er are helpful and supportive and I would like to thank them. My appreciation goes al 0 to the mother who have helped on a regular basi and to all parent who have given donation and upport to the Media Centre. L. van W.

The Pastoral Programme has evolved into a finely intermeshed programme, firmly slotted between periods 4 and 5, and 25minutes long. The four pillars of the programme are: Bible Education, Citizenship, Guidance and Reading. A new development implemented at Wynberg thi year was the introduction of a Creativity period to run concurrently with the Cadet Period. The Founder's Day platoons were chosen early in the year and the rest of the pupils then turned out for cadets in standards - first term all Std 9 pupil, second term all Std pupils, third term all Std 7 pupils and fourth term all Std 6 pupils. Pupils from Std 10 and cia ses not participating in the Cadet programme were then reque ted by teachers to attend various cia ses and activities for enrichment and creative activities. This programme resulted in the full participation of every staff member in all the a peet of the Pastoral Programme and their co-operation is incerelyappreciated.

echoed across the landscape and brought fear into every animal, man and beast. Golden bolts of lightning, which were thrust to and fro like Swords from hell, cut through the sky in an instant and were gone in the next.

The man inside, after a brief moment of unconsciousness, scrambled out of the carriage. He was very brui ed, but unhurt and forgot his gold. He decided to make for the ruin of an old castle he had seen about a mile back. He was alone, afraid and haunted by the feeling of pe0ple watching him from the hadows. It was still very dark. The rain had stopped and the thunder lessened, but the man was wet through and cursed the ky and earth. In the darkne s were the sounds of another storm past. Strange, eerie noises of ome strange animal and the dripping of water off the trees began to torment his mind. His head started to swim and he had a strange vi ion of a man or woman standing before him. Terror crept into hi throat and he tried to cream, but no sound came. In tead he ran, for no reason, fear perhap , just ran through the tree and bushes. Sensing no direction. The trees and branches came ali e, grasping at him, scratching his face and hand . Suddenly he was knocked down, falling into the mud, with a small trickle of blood running from hi forehead. Jn truth, a he ran wildly, he had hit a branch and fallen down unconsciou . Hours passed and the storm began to clear. Daylight wa made whole again and night darkne was banished from the land for a time. Birds began to ing and animals came out of hiding, forgetting their nightly fear. lt wa to thi which the man awoke with a new revelation. His mind was at peace for once. His eyes shifted to look at the scene. The light wa complete, but for the shadow he noticed there. He focu ed hi eyes and saw the form of a woman clad in silver, her hair and cloak moving in the morning breeze. She was beautiful. Her face was in shadow, but if he had seen her expression he would have known to have felt fear and not the strange attraction he feIt. Her eyes were wild, like those of a murderer

It was a dangerous time to be out, especially with a load of gold. The driver twitched nervously in his seat and listened, listened to the sounds of the horses' heavy breath and the

Something, probably in fear, dashed across the path of the already maddened hor es, which in turn reared up. Their powerful muscles flexing, eye rotating in fright, ear flat against their skulls, nostrils flaring, the horses broke from their harne sing and made a wild dash, legs out tretched, and galloped down the road. The plight of the driver was wor e. In the event of the horsesrearing up, the carriage had skidded and toppled in the mud. The driver was cru hed underneath, only hi head visible under the bulky form of the upturned carriage. Hi face reflected only the horror of a man who died a bitter death. His eyes were wide open and a mi ture of blood and mud stained his cold, pale face.

D. Lewis, Std 7 1. Liddie, Std 10

SCIENCE VERSUS ART Life has become a science - it is no longer an art. In the hurly-burly world of today individual flair ha taken a back seat to the "tried and trusted", because man cannot afford to lo e. In other words, art has been sacrificed to ucce and man i poorer for it. A John Ruskin said: "Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality." One ha to look no further than the world of sport to see evidence of this "brutality". In order to achieve In a port, the basic techniques of that sport must be practi ed and practised - and the sportsman becomes a clone. The "win at all costs" philosophy mean that portsmen can no longer afford to be unorthodo . How often has a commentator aid of an irre ponsible or unorthodox player, "his manager will be having a few words with him"? Literature ha also taken a knock during the twentieth century. Author now follow a pecific formula, de igned to produce best- eller - a book must contain 40% character-building, 20~ ene-setting, 3Oo/c violence and 10~ e for it to be a "good book". By today' standard, though, a good book i a book that makes money. Authors no longer write for the pure joy of creating tories from words, or to convey uhtie messages to their reader. Today' literature i aimed at the best-seller shelf. Music has al 0 uffered at the hand of science. Modern electronic pop-music revolve around ynthe izer and witchboards.

GARY'S ORDEAL Gary pulled himself up onto the rock. He heaved a sigh of relief a he sat on a rock to rest. The climb had been exhausting but the reward equalled the breath-taking view from the highe t point of the Con tantiaberg mountain. He took a ip of water. The noon-time heat wa unbearable. Gary soon recovered his energy and continued on hi hike. Gary wa thirteen years old and wa alone on the hike on the Con tantiaberg mountain which were never afe. Gary knew that. He al 0 knew that falling into one of the many ravines on the mountain were one of the many dangers. And if one happened to take a dive the chances of urvival were almo t nil. The trail he had taken soon led him to the edge of a thirty-metre ravine. "Damn!" he thought. He would have to double back. But before he turned round to return to the beginning of the trail he had an urge to take a pek. That wa a fatal mi take. A udden gu t of wind caused him to over-balance and plung forward. At first hi ight was blurred when he awoke from the concu ion. Then hi vi ion cleared. It 44

was dark already. He managed to lift his arm to look at the time. It was six o'clock. He had been lying dead to the world for hours. His rib were most probably broken. The wound on the back of his head was a congealing mass of blood. He was parched with thirst. He was lucky to be alive but in the agony he was in he'd sooner be dead. By now a search party had been formed to look for Gary. His parents and relatives were in a state of panic. obody really had much hope for hls survival. Each party member was armed with a radio, a dog on a leash and a flashlight. But by the time they would have found him, he probably wouldn't be aUve. Gary was fighting to keep from falling asleep but it was almost impossible. He prayed that he would live. He had lost a lot of blood, but he was determined to keep alive. After all, per everance generates ucce s. For hours they searched. But they could not find him. Eventually they called it off for the night. They would search in the morning. The next morning two members came acros the trail Gary had used. The dogs led them to the edge of the ravine where they found his day-pack. They peered down into the ravine and saw Gary lying among rocks. They called the helicopter to come and hoist rum.

He was taken to the trauma centre of the ho pital and put into intensive care. X-rays indicated broken ribs. The wound on his head had no prolonged effect. Gary's ordeal was finally over.

MY FIRST UNDERWATER ADVENTURE I dived from the edge of the cliff hitting the water cleanly, and continued swimming downwards. I wa diving in the hope of discovering a shipwreck. I was given a book for Christmas on hipwrecks off the British Isles, and as I was vi iting my grandparents in England, r decided to try and discover one of these srupwrecks off the coast of Cornwall. 1 was very fortunate to receive a new diver's wetsuit for Christmas, but I needed to hire all the diver's equipment except for my survival knife. My grandmother wa very concerned about me diving on my own, 0 I arranged for a friend to time me from where he was waiting for me at the top of the cliff. The water wa cry tal clear as I descended and I began to admire all the wonderful ea life and creature. I aw a congregation of eels and a I went deeper down, I saw chool of bigger fi h and could also see beautiful sea anemone clinging on to the rock . To my astonishment, there were many colourful starfish of different shape and ize. I became so fascinated with what [wa seeing, ( alma t forgot the time.

I slowly tried to get his tentacle off my arm 0 I could reach down and get my urvival knife. I eventually relea ed my knife and stabbed the octopu in the eye and it di charged black ink.

I quivered with excitement a r recognised the outline of the hip. I glanced at my watch and reali ed that I only had 5 minutes of 0 ygen left. I quickly managed to grab two or three coin which were lying in a broken chest. I then began my wift a cent to the surface. My friend was pleased to ee me becau e he knew that I had nearly run out of 0 ygen. I swam to the rocks beneath the cliffs where my friend met me. I wa exhau ted but till managed to tell him not only about finding the wreck, but aloof my terrifying encounter with a giant octopus.

Everyone in the neighbourhood re pected her as he had had a tough life, but she had made omething out of it. Her hu band had died ten year ago and her children had all left and gone off on their own. The café wa all he had left. One day a man came into her café. He wa a new man in the neighbourhood and wa dre sed in a uit and tie, and wore a funny black hat.

A littl further down the street wa a caf , the only café in the whole neighbourhood. Everyone in the neighbourhood aid that it was the be t café they knew. Outside the café there were alway children playing the treet. But inside the café it wa much more tranquil and les energetic. The tables were set out at random and each wa covered with a little red table-cloth. The curtain on the window were alored and thi gave the whole place a warm atmo phere. There wa alway a deliciou meII of food which drifted in from the kitchen and eemed to fill the room roundabout lunch time. Thi made the café all the more inviting. The counter was on the righthand ide of the door and behind thi was everything from weets to wa hing powder. Behind the counter was Mr Mauro itina. She 46

The café was all he had left, but two hundred thousand dollars was a lot of money and she was getting old. She couldn't make up her mind. A few days later the man returned. "Have you con idered my offer?" he a ked. "Yes," she replied, "I will sell." The papers were igned and Mr Maurositina packed her belongings. The people in the neighbourhood were very upset that Mrs Maurositina was leaving and that she had sold her café. "It will never be the ame," they aid. They were right. A few months later the man returned, this time with other people, and a huge sign was put up outside the café and outside ome neighbouring hou es. lt read: "Shopping Complex.

Vicious dogs were ready to attack any intruder who help up the game. The battle of the two "giants" of South African cricket had ended. After the players had left the playing area, the spectators flocked onto the field.

Layer of varnish have failed to cover the ink pill made by many who have come before me. I am not the first; the desk was given to me in the same way that I must some day pass the desk on to someone else. A particular in cription on the desk catches my eye. It reads, "Candy4R". The de k i not just astorehou e for the pains and fears of childhood, but is also a record of hopes and joys. I reali e now that it wa wrong to forget the desk.

AN OLD DESK TELLS ITS STORY The day began much like any other: a quick offloading of the little he had brought with him, an absent-minded checking of his list of dutie for the day and then he would be off to start his tediou day. Getjippie briefly rechecked the duty list, trying to memori e his duties so as to prevent the tire ome task of having to return after competing each duty. A new duty had been added to his list and he decided that this would be the one to start his weary day. A he sauntered out the 'Cleaner' Staffroom' a small kid greeted him with a cheerful smile.

At last Getjippie returned to the familiar urroundings of his own time and he was standing in exactly the same position where he had left off, peering at the graffiti on this peculiar desk. Had he dreamt all thi ? Was he going insane? As he leant over the desk he wa rea ured that he had not dreamt it all up because there on the desk were all the etchings/ graffiti, recording all the places he had been.

THE CHARLATANS RIDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL WAVE ever had it been heard of. Suddenly it wa front page news. People became aware and started to question. Wa the ozone layer becoming thinner? Would this be dangerous for human life? What was the cause of this problem? What could be done to stop it? These were a few of the many que tion a ked. It was decided that the ozone layer was becoming thinner, that this would be dangerous to human life if it continued and that chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) are the cau e of thi depletion of the ozone layer. Much research was done, but little el e was di covered except to confirm that each CFC molecule in the atmosphere could decompose hundreds of ozone molecules. The public began to worry. Large companies' directors began to drool at this opportunity to make money. Adverti ing campaigns were launched. These large companies advertised the fact that they were selling "ozone-friendly" products. Here was the first major loophole as they did not advertise that they were al 0 selling other products which could harm the environment. The companies following this route of advertising were generally retailer and toiletry manufacturer who were not actively harming the environment.

The problem of acid rain gets it only media coverage in CSIR reports. Thi is proof that money makes the world go round. The retailers adverti ing the "ozone-friendly" products on their helve are obviously hypocrite as they al 0 tock pray-paints and other products which cau e air pollution. The onu i on us to take a tand again t thi or el e we may de troy our planet without realising it. P. Gill berg, Id 9

MY OOMBLIK VAN TRIOMF Daar was 'n arsie geweervuur hier vlak voor my en ek het grond toe geval. Die Oos-Duitse oldate het weer opge taan en na my toe gehardloop ... Ver bo hulle koppe wa 'n helikopter b 19 om heen en weer te vlieg, op oek na my. Ek het opge taan en in die ander rigting gehardloop. My hart wa in my keel. Die helikopter het Uit die lug ge ak. Dit het owat twee meter van die grond af gebly, sy lemme het die var neeu om my opgelig en weggeblaas. Op my hakke wa die Duit er nog besig om op my af te torm. Ek het my elf opgetel en na die helikopter toe gehardloop. EAren het 'n hond geblaf ... grenshonde! My voete kon nie vinniger in die agte neeu trap nie. Ek kon die ge igte van die bemanning in die helikopter duidelik ien. Die vlieïni r mei y igaret in y mond. Sy hande wat besig was om oor die kontrole heen en weer te vlieg.

Die koeïl het deur die lug verby my oor gc ui en die kajuitgla van die helikopter getref. Die vlie"lnier het

OOS, WES, TUIS BES Ek i 'n hardwerkende per oon wa in Kaap tad woon. Kaap tad i 'n mooi plek, met Tafelberg en die Atlantiese Oseaan wat dit 0 pragtig laat lyk. Ek dink terug aan laa jaar, toe ek na die Wildeku gegaan het om weg te kom van my werk, maar aUes het nie reg verloop nie. Dit wa om en by Ker fees laa jaar toe ek op pad wa na die Wildeku . Ek het oveel goeie dinge van hierdie plek gehoor dat ek vir my elf moes gaan kyk. Op pad oontoe het ek 'n pap wiel gekry, maar dit gebeur met almal. 'n Men moet een of ander tyd iets verwag. Dit wa eker nie my dag toe ek SOkm van die naa te petrolpomp gaan til taan het nie. 'n Ouerige, vriendelike man het gelukkig gestop en vir my petrol illt sy petrolkan gegee. Ek het uiteindelik daar aangekom en is vriendelik verwelkom. Ek hou baie van die een die Wildiekus is op die trand. Ek het gevra vir 52

GRENSE - BEPERKINGE OF UITDAGINGS

'n kamer wat op die e afkyk, maar omdat die hotel vol wa , het hulle my 'n kamer gegee aan die agterkant van die hotel. Daardie aand het ek byeen van hulle re taurante gaan eet, maar ek was teleurgesteld omdat die vlei amper rou wa en ek moes 'n halfuur wag voor ek bedien i . Ek moet darem ê dat ek daardie aand goed ge laap het. Ek het die volgende oggend gaan golf peel en het 5 balle verloor en het die rondte met 'n oor yfer geïindig. Die perdry wa baie opwindend, want dit wa die eer te keer wat ek 'n perd gery het. Dit is eker hoekom die perd my afgegooi het. Ek het my been gebreek. Die storie het ook nie hier geïindig nie. Ek moe nog terug ry, maar ek het 'n gebreekte been gehad. Ek het gelukkig 'n vriend in Durban wat my kom optel het. Ek het na Kaap tad gevlieg. Ek wa bly om terug te wees. Toe my been gesond wa , het ek na Durban toe gevlieg om my motor b my vriend te gaan haal en terug te bestuur. Ek wil nooit weer 0 'n vakan ie hê nie. Ek sê altyd, "00 , Wes, Tui Be."

Daar is geen twyfel nie dat die doelwit van grense is om die mensdom te beperk. Maar die vraag ontstaan: "Speel grense 'n rol as 'n uitdaging in ons samelewing?" Vandag is grense broodnodig - nie net die landelike grense tussen state nie, maar ook die grense wat op ons samelewing afgedwing is in die vorm van die wet. Sonder hierdie beperkinge ou chaos ontstaan. Die wet is soos 'n babahok, wat die hujse beskerm teen die aanvalle van die onredelike baba. Maar as ons weer kyk na hierdie analogie van die babahok, sien ons dat die hok wel a 'n uitdaging dien vir die baba. Die baba sal klim, kop, laan, kreeu - enigiet om oor die beperkinge van die hok te seevier. Dit is 'n natuurlike, men like reaksie om te probeer wegbreek van die ketting wat hom va bind. In ander woorde gestel, die mensdom het 'n onbeheerbare vryheidsdrang. Gren e dien a uitdaging vir die eenvoudige rede dat hulle die vryheid van die men dom beperk. 'n Gewllde idioom beweer dat re'tls gemaak is om verbreek te word. Ons ien dus dat beperking en uitdaging hand an hand gaan - die oomblik dat 'n mens se vryheid beperk is, word hy uitgedaag. Dit wil voorkom a of hierdie menslike teen trydigheid met beperkinge verkeerd i . Party men e glo dat, as die mensdom gren e sal aanvaar, die wêreld in rus en vrede ou verkeer. Maar ons moet onthou dat daar twee maniere is om gren e uit te daag -die verkeerde en die korrekte. Die verkeerde manier om 'n gren te beproef, is om dit direk te verontagsaam. As die wet rokery verbied, moet jy nie reg voor 'n poli ieoffi ier rook nie. Die korrekte gedrag i om die wet te ondersoek en te bevraagtekekn: "Waarom mag ek nie rook nie? Wat is die redes daarvoor?" Die briljante weten kaplike van dié eeu het almal die vorige grense van die wetenskap uitgedaag. Die po itiewe manier waarop hierdie men e die beperkinge op hul studies bevraagteken het, het gelei tot groot ukses. Gren e beperk die mensdom. Maar a die men y vryheid wil bewaar, moet hy hierdie gren e uitdaag - op die korrekte manier.

"Voorspoed my seun, en onthou, die wedloop word in die laaste honderd meter gewen." Die adrenalien het gepomp en die koot het geklap. Die ander atlete wa goed, baie goed, en die pa vinnig. Ek het 'n harde wedloop voorsien. Toe ek gedraai het vir die laa te honderd meter het die woorde van my pa deur my kop gegaan. Die weet het van my afgedrup en ek het in die derde plek gelê. Al die harde werk van die vorige maande, my fik heid en my peed sou nou tel. Die geraa van die skare en die woorde van my pa het my deur die laaste gedeelte gehelp. Ek het alle inge it en eer te oor die wen treep gekom. Die gevoelens van daardie paar oomblikke kan nie in woorde ge ê word nie. Ek het my doel bereik en dit wa myoomblik van triomf.

EVENTS

MATRIC DANCE

THE MATRIC DANCE

123 boys attended, making it one of the noisiest camps ever .. The camp began with ice-breakers. The boys were able to relax and have some fun before having the first of many delicious camp meals. The aims of the camp were to set goals for the matric class of 1992, to set aside time for everyone to get to know one another better and to develop a spirit amongst the Standard ines. These ajm were successfully attained. The combined presentation by Mr Cowdry and Mr Buchanan on "Who Are You?" was interesting and set the tone for the rest of the camp. Other lecture were given by Mr Ru hby (" Aims and Goals") and Mr Russel! ("Time Management"). On the final day Mr Richardson discussed the aims and goal of the Std 9 das for 1992 and the theme "Fellowship" was decided on as the goal for 1992. A highlight of the camp was undoubtedly the camp concert held around a huge fire on the Saturday night. Various tars emerged from thjs hilarious evening, among them the POC Rapper (Claude Wittwen, Russel Gordon and Terence Witten), and Kenneth Sutherland inging a rendition of "The e Are a Few of My Favourite Thing" from the film "The Sound of Mu ic". Thanks must go to the teacher who travelled all the way to attend the camp, to tho e who prepared lecture and to MrMoore for helping to organize the camp, which was extremely successful.

Month of meticulous and diligent work on "travel plans" came to fruition on Saturday 21September when the Wynberg Boy' High School matric class of '91 together with their partners and other special guests were whisked away to the idyUic Greek island of Mykonos for a special lS0th anniversary dinner and dance evening. And what a wonderful evening it was! Seated in the courtyard of "Hotel Mykonos", surrounded by quaint village shops, vine-laden trellises, and looking out onto a tranquil harbour, couple chatted excitedly about this opportunity of a lifetime. Greek waiters, resplendent in authentic Greek costume, moved between the taverna and the table, ervmg the guests with the kill and ease born of hours of training. ot content only with erving table. the waiters took time out to perform a traditional Greek dance and plate-breaking ceremony, urged on by enthu ia tic clapping. And then ... the meal. Hot pita bread with tzakziki sauce was followed by moussaka and estchado erved with buttered noodles and fre h green alad, feta chee e and black olives. For de ert, pagoto, a Greek ice-cream cake, with rich chocolate auce, wa more temptation than anyone could bear! The mu ic, provided by "Route66" wa enjoyed by all and the dance floor remained packed until the end. A guest appearance by Dave Bromberger, an Elvi Pre ley impersonator, livened up the proceedings and gave new meaning to the term "rock and roll". Many thanks are due to the managing director of the "travel agency", Ja on Lee, and hi dedicated taff who put on a uperb show. There i rumour going around that Ja on and his taff will be similarly treated in 1992.

where the weaknesses lay and taught the staff some unpalatable things about themselves. This seminar elicited extremely positive feedback and staff development sessions during the year were designed to deal with issues brought to the surface during it, such as preconceptions, too little trust and support and a lack of common goals. Staff morale has definitely improved this year and in this re pect al 0 Wynberg's 150th year has been a year to remember.

before Founder' Day, were also held on Open ight. In pite of there being no academic work on di play and some rather unpleasant weather, the support from parent, Old Boys, future pupils and friends of the school was tremendous. The standard of displays and activities was extremely high with the emphasis falling mainly on live activities rather than on static displays. As has become traditional, the evening ended with a performance by some of our musicians, ome dancers from the Wynberg Girl' Junior School and the performance of the winning house play (Rhodes) in the Clegg Hall. The fact that the hall was practically full gave a very good indication of the ucce s of the night. In conclu ion I would like to thank the Cultural Committee, Society Chairmen, and the Ladies' Association for all the work they did to ensure the succe s and enjoyment of the evening. 1

OPEN NIGHT Thi year Open ight coincided with the 150th Anniversary Art Week. Because of this the format differed slightly from that used in the pa t in that only the lub and ocieties from the chool put on displays and no academic work was on display. Another variation was that the Che s, Bridge and Debating contest against the Old Boy, which are u ually held the evening

WILLARDS' 150 NIGHT CRICKET

GOLF DAY [n order to fit in with our 150 Celebration the Annual Golf Day was held earlier than usual thi year on 8th February. The venue was once again Westlake and the fund raised by the day were in aid of the Cricket Club at the school. Thi year saw our biggest field yet with no less than 142 players taking part. Once again our various spon ors were mo t generous and an amount in excess of RsOOOwas raised which mostly went towards sending our 1st Xl on a tour and for purchasing much needed equipment for our cricket players. One thing that has struck me is that over the years the standard of golf played on the day ha improved and this year we had the WP Golf Captain, O'Brien Barber, and his partner, J:i Goo en winning the competition. In the end It was however not the golf but the occa ion which was important. Many old friendships were renewed and a most enjoyable day was had. Our thanks to our generous spon or , the We tlake Club, Mrs Symmonds and Mrs Cowan and all the other helper for making the day a succes. We look forward to our Golf Day next year.

Following a torrential downpour on Sunday, the weather gods smiled on Monday 17 February for the occasion of the Wynberg 150 Cricket Evening. It was a superb night's cricket, with nearly 5000 people enjoying the event at ewlands. The afternoon and evening took the form of a double-wicket competition, the various schools being repre ented by two prominent Old Boys. The 1st Xl's of the participating schools did the fielding. Most of the box-holder allowed their chalet to be u ed during the evening - thus adding to the atmo phere. Willards kindly sponsored the event, with Markhams and Stuart Surridge putting up the prize. Damon du Randt of Radio Good Hope was the announcer for the evening. For the record, the following teams took part: Wynberg: Garth le Roux/Roy Clark. Bishop: Adrian Kuiper /David orman. Rondebo eh: Ken jackson/Gary Kirsten. SACS: Peter Kir ten/Mike Minnaar. Plumstead: Stephen Jeffries/Wayne Truter. Grey: Graeme Pollock/Dave Callaghan.

THE 150 CADET BAND FESTIVAL The Festival of 5 June 1991 will be remembered by the Cadet Band members a one of the highlight of our school's 150th anniversary. It wa an afternoon of fine music, enthusia tically performed in the sports hall of the Wynberg Military Camp. The Festival was introduced by the SACC Band, who gave up their free afternoon to perform. Then the Cadet Bands of SACS, Voortrekker, ettler, J J du Preez, Rondebosch Boy' High, as well as the Bishops Pipe Band gave excellent performance. La tly our own band rounded off the afternoon with a superb di play of mu ic and formation drilling. After this all the participants were treated to refreshments, while the officers and band-ma ters attended a cocktail party in the hi torie Officer' Club. Thi wa certainly a memorable afternoon, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended.

Chris and Fiona Lee, parents of Jason, 1992 Head Boy, at the Ball clever election of tunes and tempos was a highlight of the evening. A Vienne e Ball menu with popular dishe of Austria wa served. The dinner wa organised to blend in with the dancing and socialising. Liquid refreshment were efficiently erved by the Old Boys' Union. By design, the peech formalities were limited to an address by MrAlgie which in essence wa a sincere welcome and invitation to all to enjoy the Anniversary Ball and to participate to the full in the remaining programme for the 150 Year Celebrations.

The Week succeeded in its objective of letting the boys make friend as each school ho ted two group of chools throughout the week. The next Week is i.n 1993 at Selborne College.

AND CROSS-COUNTRY WEEK The Week started with the winter rains welcoming the teams from the Ea tern Cape. The opening function, pon ored by Lightbody's, was in the form of cocktails. In tune with the theme of the Week: 'Making Friends', the boys and coaches mixed ocially at thi function. Each participant in this Week received a tie, t-shirt, information pamphlet and a programme. On Saturday 22 June the first rugby and cro scountry clashes between We tern Cape and Eastern Cape took place at Wynberg Boys' High in continual rain.

150 HISTORY DISPLAY The Wynberg Boys' School hi tory display from 1st to 31st Augu t wa a combined effort of the school's and the Cape Education Mu eum. Mr J Louw (High School) and Mr T Stewart (Junior School) did the collection, selection and display of hi torical material ranging from photographs, book, banner, badges to sports equipment ancient and modern, and other memorabilia from the school archive and gift and loan from pa t pupil. The Dutch Reformed Church of Wynberg, strongly linked with the re-opening of the chool in June 1841 in the per on of DsFaure, kindly lent material relating to him. The pre ent owner of Mr ixon' School kindly lent artefact dug up on the ite. The di play was enhanced with the dre sing up of dummie to repre ent various modes of chool and sport dre ,whil tatatic di play was set up by the Museum taH repre enting an olden day headma ter' study, a cia room, a ho tel dining and bedroom. Furniture and other antique chool equipment circa 1920-40 were exhibited, while in the bedroom a pecial effort was made to commemorate the daring exploit of Ulric Leibrandt, the truant choolboy pilot of forty year ago. The exhibition was opened by Mr J Go , Regional Chief Superintendent of Education, on lAugu t, at a ocial gathering for 95 gue t . Media coverage of the exhibition no doubt elicited ome re pon e as by the end of the month 2030 vi itor had been to view the e hibition.

The high school now has an imposing appearance and I am humbly grateful that I have been spared to see this and to be an 'old boy' of thi prestigious school. The march pa t of the cadet and the band was a bonus. When I was at school I wa a bugler - and later a soloi t - and it is still clear how I struggled with the horribly dented instrument which had been i ued to me. My home village of Ottery had plenty of open space in 1931 and I never heard of anyone complaining of my practising, and the cacophony, until I ma tered the in trument. ow there are no bugles and the instruments which have replaced them emit clear and melodious ound. I was a member of the chool's shooting team which won the World Cup (the Scobel Cup) for three year in a row. While at school one of my target wa con idered good enough to be displayed in the then 'Hall of Fame'. Sadly I learned that there is now no trace of record of activitie during the early thirtie , and that the e are being built up from material handed in from time to time bold tudents. But the highlight of m week at Wynberg Boys' High School wa undoubtedly the activitie in which I participated. Contract Bridge i

REUNION WEEKEND Founder's

Day

Year of planning went into making this a weekend to remember. Hundred of Old Boys came to celebrate their school's 150th anniver ary, ome from as far away a overseas. The celebrations began with the traditional Founder's Day ceremony on Friday 30August. After a dark, wet morning the sun came out at midday and with huge bowl of flowers everywhere and martly dressed gue t and pupil, a fe tive atnm phere reigned. The Clegg Hall was filled to ab olute capacity; the ceremony wa tirring with the lament on the pipe a special feature and the addre s b Rear Admiral R Eberlein, him elf an Old Boy of the school, a fitting blend of humour and inspiration. After the ceremony he proceeded to inspect the cadet detachment; a fine di play by the cadet band concluded the formal arrangements. Tea and delicious cakes were erved to the gue tand taff and the pupil ru hed to claim their buns and cooldrinks. From an Old Boy I went on a trip down memory lane during the 150th centenar celebrations of myoId chool. What an uplifting e perience! Although the cla room where we a tu65

I could have sworn that m teacher had become reincarnated in time for the celebrations. We almost discussed Mitch's fanatical abhorrence of cented hair oiJ and Brilliantine in undertones in deference to Bernard' pre ence, but Bernard joined in and reminded us that he and his brother were never allowed to plaster their hair down even at home, and that they had, therefore, even joined, and enjoyed, the times when we so very cruelly per isted in baiting their father in thi way. Mr Clcgg, as Headmaster, meted out punishment, 'T11 gie ye a ha' a doozen" without any qualm. He taught Algebra to us whenever any of hi taH were away for whatever rea on. I think that before he caned us for misdemeanours, he examined hi da record fir t, and those who did not do well in hi subject were caned even harder to relieve some of his frustration! At thi function more than 30 coupi were pre ent. 1am sending down ome of my school report from which todays' readers can gauge how meticulou ly the variou cia s ma ter attended to thi section of their work.

Ds Faure who was la~gely inst~mental in the establishment of this school In 1841, was the minister of thi church and 0 it was especially appropriate that the thanksgiving ervice should be held there. Bishop Frank Retief, an Old Boy, preached the sermon w~i1.e Ds el, teaching staff and present pupils partiCipated in the ervice. Bishop Frank Retief's text et the school firmly on the path to the future: "Je u aid:" am the way, the truth and th~ life'" - a fitting end to a memorable Founders weekend. L. ral1 W.

150 ANNIVERSARY CHOIR FESTIVAL On Thur day 29 August WBHS hosted their 150 Anniver ary Choir Fe tival in the Clegg Hall. Over the la t few years this festival has been a calendar highlight, expo ing the Wynberg community to a wealth of choral tradition in Cape Town. Thi year's festival wa certainly no exception. In fact, it attained new heights which won't be easy to match in the future! A ho ts, the Boy' High Choir excelled themselves, and certainly did their chool proud. Under the chairman hip of Trevor Good, and the musical direction of Mr Brian Botha and M Lynne Galpin, they sang with an energy and skill which wa refreshing to the audience, and obviously thoroughly enjoyable to them elves. Well done, gentlemen. Our invited guest choirs were the Boys' Junior School (joining us in our anniversary celebrations), Wynberg Girl' High chool, under the direction of Mr Corrie orri, Voortrekker High School, under the direction of Mr Salomie Rocher, the Swi Male Voice Choir, under the direction of Ms Bernadette Fassler, the Cape

Gareth Beaumont, and Ian Mills, the very be t of fortunes as we stand on the shoulders of those who walked before u .

Welsh Male Voice Choir, and - a wonderful treat to anyone privileged enough to hear them - the Accidentals. A very sincere thank you to all these choirs for the valuable contribution they made to our fe tival. All choir directors, chairmen and choir members can be very proud of the standing ovation we received after singing "Fill the World with Love" a a ma s choir finale. At the end of the evening we were treated to the Cadet Band performing for u in the quad while refre hments were served. Ms Galpin and the hoir would like to thank Mr Botha for all the hard work that went in to the choir these pa t i months in preparation for the fe tival. Spirits were high, and the boy were motivated to give of their be t. Thanks to everyone for all the extra hours - Sunday workhop and Tuesday evening practices - that were put in to give the necessary fini hing touches needed if we want our choir to hold its own. I am quite ure 1992 holds much promi e for the choir as we continue to work hard, and we wi h our new chairman, Jason Lee, and his committee, Gareth Hardre -Williams (vice-chairman),

OLD BOYS' DINNER The 150 Old Boy' Dinner, held in the Cape Town Civic Centre on 31August 1991, wa a memorable one.

THE DEBATING

THE CYCLING SOCIETY

SOCIETY

Thi year the Debating Society wa extremely active. The ociety paid two visit to the Wynberg magistrate' court, where the members were able to witness one of the many applications with debating in the real world. A number of informal debates and forum di cu ions have been organised for the members who do not belong to the first team, viz. a forum discus ion evening with ea Point High School, two debates with W nberg Boy' Junior School, a parent/pupil forum discussion evening and a generation debate (between Old Boy, Std 5' and matric ). This year' interhou e debating competition was won by the Wellington team of Michael Arnot, Michael Fletcher and Ian Liddie, who defeated Rhodes in the final. The Debating Society entered a team for the 1991 ACEE forum di us ion conte t with 24 participating chools. The Wynberg team of lan Liddie, Craig Smee, Grant Kelroe- ooke, Richard Carter and Stephen van Rhyn won the preliminary round and were then placed second to SACS in the final. The team was pre ented with a RSO prize which wa pre ented to the school library. However, it wa in the Rotary Inter chool Debating Competition that Wynberg excelled. The competition began on the 21 t February and ended with th final on 26 Augu t. The competition wa divided into two ection - a enior ction (for td -10) and a junior ection (for Stds 6- ). Each ection con Isted of 36 chool from the Western Province.

1991 wa the third year of e i tence for the Cycling Society. The committee con i ted of the following pupils: Frederick Land (chairman), Werner van Ket (treasurer), Sean Ca keil ( ecretary), Lee Coltham and Ju tin iljoen, who wa ub equently replaced by Ryan Wantling. The member and committee worked well together, which enhanced the society's enthusia m. This year the ociety ha 30 members, which i an increa e from la tyear. The aim for the year were: - to en ure that every member wa involved in the society. - to encourage every member to take part in 0 Cl ty races and the yearly Wynberg Old Boy' Race. - to improve the tandard of cycling. - to have an inter-schools race. Many members dedicated them elve to hard and con i tent training which resulted in most of the member obtaining personal best times in the Argu M- et Cycle Tour. Sean Caskeil, with a time of 2 hours 42 minute came 4th overall In the tandem ection. Werner van Ke , Lee Coitham and Ryan Wantling all achieved ub-three hour times. In fact, everyone benefited from the perfect weather conditions which made It an enjOyable race. Open ight wa , in my opinion, the b t yet for the Cycling Society. ur gu t peaker, Leon Botha, howed all tho mtere ted how to di mantle and ervice a racing bicycle.

The Wynberg junior team of Justin Bennetts, Jason du Preez and Myles Lord reached the final of the competition, but were unlucky to lo e to St Cyprians. They were thus placed second in the competition. The Wynberg senior team of Craig Smee, lan Liddie and Stephen van Rhyn defeated Milnerton High School in the finals and were thu placed fir t in the senior ection. This is the first time ever that the cup has been won by Wynberg Boys' High School. Below is the complete et of re uit for both the junior and senior teams in the Rotary competition:

DRAMA "It wa a night to remember!" was one of the comment heard after the performance of the WBHS Interhou e Play Competition. Many people alofelt that thi year's competition aw ome of "the be t performance and production een for a long time." The adjudicator was Mi Penelope Glover, who run the Girl' High Drama Department. She had much praise for the boy ,their ts and their choic of play. She wa able to provide our future 'Oscar winner' with ome advice on future productions and some member of the audience with incentive to enquire about acting in ne t year' production. A pecial mention must be made of raig Smee who wa~ the co-playwright and director of the Rhode Hou e play, 'Betwe n the Building' It wa a Tlvetting play to watch and won the 'Best Play' award.

Shamus Mossop, Brad Paton and Myles Lord were part of the impressive Greek chorus. We wi h to record our congratulations to Ms Penelope Glover who directed this production. We are sorry to hear that MsGlover will be leaving the Girls' School at the end of this year. She was responsible for directing productions at both the Girls' and our own school in recent years and we thank her for the guidance and encouragement she has given to our boys over the years. We wish her happiness and success in the future.

Our theme for Open ight was based on the general weather conditions in South Africa. This also included posters and models being made of the various weather forms such as cyclones, frontal depression, ete. At the end of the evening we had a brief talk on the various projects explaining how they work and the reasons behind this. A new committee under the chairman hip of Charl Badenhorst wa elected, and the new committee looks set for a bright future next year. I am sure they wijl have a very active year. M.H.

O.w.

The main aim of the Geography Society committee was to decrea e its member hip to about 20 regular members. With achieving thi goal we were able to get the member more involved during the society periods which, in turn, led to a very ucce ful year. During the year we were fortunate to get hold of a good number of guest speakers among whom wa Warren Fi h, a Wynberg Old Boy, who spoke on archeology, as well as three representative from the Felix Unite, who explained their various river rafting epedition which they organise down some of South Africa's wilde t rivers. Many of the society periods were centred around discussion e ion, which got the member more involved. We showed very few film and video thi year owing to the negative influence they create. Despite the films' being educational and enriching, they tend to decrease members' participation in society periods.

The History Society and committee had a very successful year. Our aim wa to provide the member with an enjoyable but intellectual diver ion from the hectic academic school life. In this our committee was very ucce ful and membership was increa ed. During the year we vi ited the American Centre in Cape Town for a documentary on the American Civil War, and on the Gulf Cri i by an Israeli journali t. We al 0 watched a Vietnam 79

drama, "The Casualties of War", and held numerous quizzes and debate. The highlight of the year was Open ight. In our 150th year the committee and other members saw their extremely hard work payoff when the History Tunnel was erected on Open ight. I should like to thank the committee for a wonderful year. Good luck to next year's chairman, S. Zeederberg. K.B.

Our aim is to put acro s a broader understanding of the martial arts. We have watched two videos, AWOL and Bloodsport; these howed the different martial arts which one can practise.

oughly enjoyable and were ideal ways to end busy terms and usher in holidays. Mo t Sunday walks have been plagued by bad weather of late and only the most avid walkers have been active. Popularity is nevertheless expected to increase now that summer is on the way and especially since more and more female enthu ia ts from Wynberg Girls' High are accompanying the walks! Interest in rock climbing is increasing dramatically, so much so that last term Mr de Witt, who has since left us, ran a number of elementary CaUl' es. Other boys attended a mountain leadership/rock climbing course in the Cedarberg in June and are now climbing on a regular ba is. ovices are also getting to grips with the puruit and are keen to climb whenever the opportunity avail.

THE ORIEN.TEERING SOCIETY The ociety has continued to flourish under the leadership of Le lie Wylie and his hard-working committee. We are still trong in numbers, attracted mainly from the junior standards. The society it elf revolves around the pupils' being given map with coded markings placed at strategic points on the location. The members, divided into small groups, are then required to e.stablish the codes on the boards in a given hme. The winning group is the group that correctly establishes the codes and then returns to the starting point in the quickest time. Orienteering has become a fully-recogni ed sport in the Penin uIa, combining the kills of map-reading and athletic in the form of cro scountry running. Unfortunately, owing to the lack of facilitie and time available, the contraints under which the society operates are very restricted. everthele , the member are given the opportunity to work in a group to complete a given task and the rest is up to the member. Finally, a word of thank must go to Le lie Wylie and hi committee for the efficient way in which they have organi ed the society during ociety periods. [ incerely hope that we hall be able to continue to f10uri h under the leader hip of Simon Springett and his new committee.

THE PISCATORIAL SOCIETY 1991 wa an eventful and successful year for the society. Under the chairmanship of Bruce Mostert a wide range of activitie was organised. The highlight of the year was an interesting talk by Western Province fisherman, Wayne Harris, in which he passed on his valuable knowledge of fishing. On Open ight moked snoek and tunny were enjoyed by all. Many favourable comments were received about the informative display and the delicious fish. Both fresh and salt-water angling competition were held and in the future the ociety hopes to organise inter-school competition. Our members enjoyed a productive year.

we won the Mirror, the Sonnet and the Dabchick classes. We came third in the Laser and Optimist classes. Our second highlight wa Open ight, where we put on a display of windsurfers, hobie cats and various trophies. It was a great success. Our society periods were well supported. Greg Davis spoke to us on his experiences in the Whitbred Around the World Race. John Martin, Peter Slate and Gary Farrow were also a few of our guest speakers. We enjoyed various sailing video and participated in quizzes and navigational exercises. A big thank you must go to Simon Crone for running the society so efficiently during the year. The new chairman for 1991 is Jason Bailey. J.B.

1991 ha been an exciting year for the Science Society. The committee decided to break from tradition and have two chairmen which ha worked e tremely well. The members have been very active. They delivered interesting talks on topic of their own interest. These talks ranged from how magnetic audio tape worked through to different type of golf clubs. The society's activities drew to a climax on Open ight. There were demonstrations of acid-ba e titration by "willing" matric cience pupils. Bath, Ttchart and Dunbar demonstrated the Van der Graf generator. M Davies explained how the internal combu tion engine works. C Kemp demonstrated a steam engine and a radio-control sy tern. L WaIters demonstrated an innovative radiation measuring device he designed and built. Walli explained how the TV works with the aid of a cathode-ray tube. The committee literally ended the society's display with a bang - the traditional pyrotechnic chain reaction. For the fir t time in three year it burnt from one end to the other without a hitch.

THE SAILING SOCIETY The Sailing Society ha had another uccessful and enjoyable year. There were two main highlights. The first was winning the Liquifruit inter-schools Regatta for the sixth time, where

THE VIDICAM SOCIETY Vidicam Society concentrated on watching films and reviewing them. Fruitful discussions were held and options formulated. A thought-provoking film of visual literacy parked off discusion. We vi ited Trilion Studios and were shown how sound is mixed, editing done and graphics u ed. We were shown their film studio and were impres ed by the lights needed for filming and the heat generated by them. Some informal work was done with the video camera, giving member the opportunity of hands-on experience. On Open ight we teamed up with Vidpro Society to pre ent a popular display and an interview facility. Thought wa given to amalgamating with Vidpro permanently but Vidicam member decided that they preferred the mall group which provides better opportunities for di cu sion. The ociety wa led by Trevor Good, assisted by Alvin Verdon who is the new Chairman for 1992.

first day that it wa started and as a result, Vidpro became a very large society. The main aim of Vidpro was to let the members become involved in film and film-making by creating their own movie. Therefore the members themselves became the actors, the filmer and the organisers of a movie. For the fir t few week the members were very keen and came to all the filming e sion , but later they started to slacken off and therefore filming weekend were continuou ly being cancelled. A a re uit of this the movie wa not completed last year. This year, with the arrival of the new td6's, Vidpro tried once more to re tart the movie but again did not uccecd. The society did, however, go on an interesting expedition to Protea Cinema and saw how movie were hown. There have also been ome interesting discusion and demonstrations during ociety period . All Vidpro members have the privilege of watching movies during break which i enjoyed by all the member . Becau e Stuart Brown is leaving at the end of this year a new chairman and committee have been cho en.

the school grounds. This is stiIJ our current project. The creation of the nature trail has involved many hours' work. We have cleared the acacia trees and plan to plant new vegetation to attract birds. After this stage, a path will be made which will be open to all. Without the enthusiasm of the members, none of this would have been possible. The committee ha also done an excellent job.

During the year we hoped to raise a sense of awareness of nature. I thjnk the society achieved this aim. In the first term we embarked on a project to record and study the birds found in and around the school grounds. This project was, however, interrupted when we had the opportunity to enter the "Enviro-Cape" competition. This project involved the making of a nature trail within

IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS THE HEAD PREFECT'S REPORT Being a prefect at Wynberg was extremely demanding in this our 150th year, and I should therefore like to start my report by commending and thanking my fellow prefects for a truly outstanding job. Our term as prefects officially started at the Prefects' Camp held at Silverhurst during the last week of the December holidays. We were addressed by Messrs Connellan, Rushby and Gilbert on topic ranging from time management to self-motivation. Discussions were also held with a number of pa t prefects as well as with the various standard heads. The camp was extremely succe sful and et the foundations for what was to be a very rewarding year. Our main aim this year wa to enlist pupil upport for the school. We also concentrated on maintaining Wynberg's healthy public image a with Wynberg celebrating its 150th Anniversary, the school was constantly in the public eye. We

set aside a number of key events per term whkh the entire chool was expected to support. This policy proved extremely uccessful as the boys developed not only tremendou chool spirit, but began to appreciate the talents of their fellow students. Examples of this were very evident at the night cricket and rugby at ewlands, the Choir Festival and on Founders' Day. Having the upport of the matrics makes a prefect's task so much easier and this year wa no exception. I hould like to thank the matrics for their continual upport and leader hip throughout the year. I should also like to expre my gratitude to Mr Algie, Mr Connellan and Mr Ru hby for their continual involvement and enthusiasm which they so generously offered to the prefect . Finally, I wi h to thank the prefect for the out tanding leadership which they have offered to the school this year. In particular, I thank Gavin and Philip for their upport. For me it has been a pleasure and a privilege to ha ve been part of the 1991 ma tric cia . [ incerely hope that every Wynberg boy is proud to wear his school blazer and that whatever he doe in that blazer, it will alway be his be t.

lthuba t-shirts (managed largely by Philip McIntyre) was another successful project for 1991. The 1991 Interact conference, hosted by Herschel High School, was attended by club members who do not mis an opportunity to meet with Interacters from other school. The club has enjoyed a very successful year and the 1991 committee comprising senior and juniors know that the succe ses of the year can be largely a cribed to the enthusiastic support received from the chool. Chairmanship of the club was handed over to a committed and eager RusseIl Gordon by Kurt Wohlenburg. M.L.

LINK/ SCU The new committee together with the new girl' school committee tarted off its term of office with a camp at the end of the third term la t year. It wa here that we decided to implement the new name for the Student' Christian Union, i.e. Link, as we felt God leading us in a new direction. Our aims were to trengthen the existing member of Link spiritually and to become more outward-looking by spreading the Gospel in the school. Highlights of the pa t year include: a "Link Week" which we had in the fir t term, when the Go pel was pre ented to the whole school in a number of different ways. The Link Camp which was held at Rocklands camp-site at the beginning of the econd term in conjunction with the girl' chool (this wa really enjoyed by all, even though we did get cold and wet in our tents). Other activitie which we did were a vi it to YWAM offices followed by volley ball on Muizenberg beach, a couple of meetings together with the girls' chool and an evening at the Spur teak ranch. Besides these events, there were the weekly meeting in MrMoore' laborat ry. On Wedne day at big break we oft n had praise and worship, haring and talks. We also met on Monday and Friday morning before chool to pray. All in all, thanks mu t go to our Lord Jesu for giving u the opportunity of knowing Him and the privil ge of living for Him. My prayer for Link i that it may go from trength to tTength a the boys of our school devote them elve to hri t.

THE INTERACT CLUB The first project for 1991 wa the collection of Ea ter egg for underprivileged children. This project was a huge ucce a the pupil of Wynberg Boy' High School joined in a competition to find the cla with the bigge theart. The eventual winner of the comp tition were the cla s of Std 7E but, of course, the actual winner were the underprivileged children who could look forward to almo t 5800 Ea ter egg . The main project for the econd term wa in re pon e to an appeal by the Claremont ight Shelter for old clothes. Once again our pupils re ponded well and a veritable mountain of clothing was brought to school. We feel ure that the lovely jer eys, hirt and trou er donated by the parents went a long way toward keeping homeles people warm during the winter months. Other smaller projects included working at the carnival, collecting old new paper to upport our own World Vi ion orphan, various raffle , and the ale of oup and ice-cream on open night.

THE WYNBERGIAN

WBHS BLOOD CLINIC

The local 'rag' has had a really good year. Under the auspices of ]ason Lee and his subeditors, Paul Bowles and Royden Volan, the magazine has increased its sales from 250 to 350 copies. The magazine has focu ed, as many other thing have, on the l50-year celebrations, and we hope that we have captured some of the atmosphere of the festivities. The editors have also triven to improve the quality of writing, articles, cartoons, competitions and humour to that tandard of dignity and excellence of the chool. [ think our aim have been achieved most of the comments overheard on our 'sales day' were very positive. Even the teacher have noted the 'freshne 'of the magazine. All the printing costs have been covered by a private company (which request that its name i not mentioned). If we did not have thi ponor hip, we would have to ell our rag at about R2,50 each, and not the 50c at which the pupil can purcha e it now. Thank must be given to the twenty journalists, e peciaIl Charl Badenhor t (who helped Ja on with the layout) and Andrew Kerr (the ca rtooni t).

The blood donor' clinic, held once a term at Wynberg under the auspices of the WP Blood Clinic, is till going strong. Mo t enjoyable and comradely bleeds are held in the metalwork drawing room. On average 35 units were donated at every clinic, with many potential donors being favourably influenced to do their bit when they, too, are old enough to share the tea and cookies in the convivial, public- pirited atmosphere. ).G.L.

The Ladies' A ociation has had a very hectic year providing refreshments for the normal annual function and also for the various 150 Celebration events. In the 2nd term the highlight was the Pudding and Port evening for past and present mothers. This wa a mo t successful and enjoyable evening. The ladies also assi ted with the 150 Ball which was a very pecialoccasion .. During the 3rd term we had a busy time with Open ight and the Choir Festival which wa a wonderful evening and, needle to ay, there were tea cup galore to be washed! The Founders' Day ceremony was very pecial this year and many a good remark wa made about the refreshments. These functions were virtually one after the other, so we were all kept on the go. We are till busy with the various functions this 4th term and I am sure that they will all prove to be succes ful. The clothing exchange, efficiently run by Uz Mills and her team has, as alway , provided a very valuable ervice to parents. The Tuckshop ha been run by Mr Sue Crone, who ha done a terling job. We all, including the boy , do appreciate her hard work and efforts to plea e everyone. Thank you, Sue.

Special congratulation mu t go to the debating team and the cro -country runners for their out tanding performance. The Rhode House a 't did very well to come fir t in the interhouse pia comp~tition. Mo t important, everyone contributed to the warm almo phere and great team pirit e perienced throughout the year. Thank once again. Good luck to everyone for 1992, and good luck to Rhodes '91 matric::, for the future.

It can accommodate 20 boy and three rel>ident ~taff members, including the senior housema ter and his family, and will probably run at full capacity next year.

Cricket in the chool' 150th year remain trong. An U150 team wa re-entered into the leagues after an ab ence of two ears, and we had to find e tra game for tho e U19 player!> who could not get into Saturday teams. Credit for thi is twofold. First of all, cricket hold a huge debt of gratitude to the choolma ter coach - not only for the hour pent at the net and on the practice field; but alofor the advising, encouraging and cajoling which are all neces ar when a young ter \ ould far rather be enjoying the other fruits of a Cape ummer.

G.T.

CRICKET One of the advantage of the re earch which went into the hi tory of Wynberg thi year has been an awar ne f a long cricket tradition at the chool. The earlie~t reference to a Wynberg Cricket I wa in 1 92, when the game progressed from playground "bal laan" to an organi ed a tivity. This is the first recorded year of a Wynberg team pla ing in an inter- chool competition. The coach in the team photograph of 1892 was a certain Mr Rodger . Thi make 1991 the 99th ear in which cricket ha been played at Wynberg. 101

The econd reason why cricket continues to flouri h is the decision made by the We tern Province Schools' Union to ensure that all games - bar A team - must have a winner. This, coupled with the ruling with en ure that more player bat and bowl, has led to far more enjo ment and participatjon in the game. Every week aw e citing game and clo e fini hes right down the leagues. Another factor which will lead to the growth of cricket i our imminent return to the te·t match arena. I look forward to watching Wynberg Old Boys challenging for top honour in provincial and te t team of the future. A new generation of Wynberg boy i poi ed to take over from Alan Lamb and Garth le Roux. In addition to the 2nd XI, th UH age group ha done Wynberg proud this year. From the A team down to the midweek team, they have played enthu iastically and with competence. The team will be the backbone of Wynberg cricket in the year ahead. Our umpiring team continues to keep the flag flying. Gareth Mulholland i our top umpire, but Michael Clark, Dean McCormick and Dean McLachlan have ucce fully written and pa'i ed an umpiring exam et by the WP Umpires' nion. ow they mu t tand in aturday matche to gain experience to that they, in turn, can come through to provincial honour.

1ST XI CRICKET The 1 t XI have had a mixed year, with varied r ults. The cene for the year wa et by a very ucce sful tour to the Alexandra We k in Pietermaritzburg in Januar . All four games were drawn, but every draw ~ a different, including a particularlye citing game again t We tville, which ended with level cores. After an opening game again t Langa, the team played in an all- da 30-over competib n against Bi hop, ACS and Rondebo ch. Wc lo't to Bishop in the morning and beat Rondebo ch in the afternoon. Later in the ea on win were r gi tered again t Bi hop and Rondebo ch, but lack of batting application again t A and Pineland aw u fail to et them adequate target .

Our bowling wa adequate and lacked real venom. Just like our batsmen, our bowlers need to develop a mental re ilience to bounc back when the game i not going their wa . However, I am plea ed to report that our fielding was up

Paul captained the side with courage and insight. He was never afraid to accept a challenge. He earned the respect of hi player through a genuine de ire for them all to do well. He had a mediocre season with the bat.

vs Kear ney Wynberg 1 3/10 (WyJie 65, Munro 43) Kearsney 129/9 (Bowditch 4/43) Draw

Truter (vice-captain, wicket-keeper9 ct and 2 st) A gutsy player who want to succeed and is prepared to work hard to achieve it. He is far too ten e about his play, which has led to his natching at the ball as a keeper and playing half hots as a batsman. Go out there and play!

Askew ( enior pro, medium pace bowler - 11 wickers @ 23) His strength is hi yorker and hi nagging accuracy - both of the e were lo t thi year in hi desire to emulate MaJcolm Mar hall. Another trength i that he can move the ball both way. A flaw i hi (eeming?) ability to fight back when the chips were down.

v Bishop (55 over game) Wynberg ]23/10 (Mulholland 34, Bowditch 24) Bi hop 104/10 (Whitehead 4/14) Won by 19 runs 105

Bowditch (middle-order bat - 166 run @ 14; off!>pinbowler - 20 wickets @ 22) Lack of elf-confidence still hamper hi progress. On his day, his all-round kills and ability are a good a any ch lboy in the country - witne the We tville game. He i capable of playing hots all around the wicket, but hi back-lift makes him vulnerable to the yorker. He can bowl earn, off and leg ~pin. He love fielding. The future is his.

Byron is to ucceed consi tently, he will have to learn to dominate spin. Kallis (opening bat - 224 runs @ 17; earn bowler -12 wickets@ 17) A talented player who, when he gets stronger, will bring great joy to follower of Wynberg cricket. Tn batting, he is a little loose outside off tump, and hi back foot hots need to be traighter. His bowling action is immaculate. Touch wood, but r have yet to ee him drop a lip catch!

Wylie (upper order bat - 307 runs @ 2 ; 14 wickets@20) He ha the highe t core of the year 0 far - 65 vs Kear~ney. A player of immen e talent but little discipline in that he lo e concentration very ea ily. A good player of spin. Competent in all facet of the game.

The following have also pla ed for the 1 t Xl thi year: RBate, PWilson, Hud on, W Dickson. So far thi year, 1st XI caps have been awarded to DBowditch (all-rounder) and LWylie (batting).

Willoughby (left-arm opening bowler - 23 wicket @ 14) Problem with hi knee affected hi delivery tride, leading to an incon i tent line. A our main strike bowler, he has hown the ability to move the ball both way and is our leading wicket-taker. ow he mu t work at getting his fielding up to Wynberg 1 t Xl tandard.

2ND XI CRICKET Thi wa a remarkable sea on for the ide, with superb performances all round. We started off by losing badly to SACS and Rondeba ch in a limited-overs day, but managed excellent re uIt against both ide later in the term, beating SACS deci ively at the end of the term. There wa a notable improvement all round in the performance of the team as the ea on progre ed. The strength of the ide la in their ability to apply them elve fully at crucial stage during the day, thereby turning unfavourable po ition into favourable re ults. Our batting wa orid, with Andrew Hare providing us with a sound start on many occa ion. He ha good technique, but n eds to work on hi running between the wicket. The upport was there from Mark Turvey and Robert Bate. Th highlight of the batting sea on wa undoubtedly Robert Bate's century against Wind or, which resulted in hi promotion to the 1st team. The bowling wa generally accurate, although the opening pair tended to try to bowl too quickJy without concentrating on a good line and length. The highlight of the ea on wa Wayne Dick on' incredible last over against Rondebo ch, which included a hat-trick when Rondeba ch were ix wickets down. Both David Wil on and ichola Hudson were effective with the ball, but unfortunately there was a lack of consistency from both player. ichola Hudson, in particular,

Fletcher (upper-order bat - 111 runs @ 12) A determined bat man who never give hi wicket away easily. Play ahead of his pad at time, which ha led to his undoing. Strong on his leg, where he ha cored most of his runs. When he gets physicall tronger, he will be scoring many runs. Munro (middle-order bat - 179 run @26) Commendably, Michael believe that the ball i there to be hit and he has demoli hed many a bowling attack. He must learn not to go for hi hots too early. He alohas to iron out a technical fault of leaning back when he drive. Won the award la t year for the mo t promising player - now he mu t produce the goods. Whitehead (inswing bowler -12 wickets@ 11) He trie as hard a anyone and wa rewarded for hi tenacity against Bi hop (took 4 wickets). Andrew mu t now work at hi away- wingers as well. In hi batting, a predominant right ha cost him his wicket all too often. He has a safe pair of hand in the outfield. MulholJand (opening bat - 234 run at 20) A predominantly front-foot player who like the ball to come on to the bat. A good driver, he has played ome very attractive inning thi year. If 106

3RD XI CRICKET Fourth Term 1990 The team had a disappointing season, winning only 1 of their 6 fixtures. Although po sessing a fair amount of talent, few of the player came off, and many bat men gave their wickets away unnecessarily. Some of the better batsmen were A Shuman, A Whitehead, C Schultz, G Mulholland and R Brown. A Harri and S Marais were two fine all-rounders who both knew how to score runs in a hurry. The bowling attack wa pearheaded by C Leipold and A Harris, with support coming from S Marais, B Dixon, S McCormick and G Mulholland. JMerri alway gave of hi be t, both as an opening batsman and as a wicketkeeper where he distinguished him elf by di mi ing 7 bat men (6 caught, 1 stumped) in a single inning against We terford 2nd XI.

4TH XI CRICKET

The 3rd Xl this year wa considerably weaker than the previou year's side, with some of the player having been promoted to the 1 tand 2nd Teams. The side wa thus compo ed chiefly of young (Std 8) player, who no doubt will develop as player.

The 4th team had a good season. The side is captained by WManning, who doe a fine job as captain. All player tried hard and did their be t al all time, which led to a great team spirit. Players who show promi e as bowlers and who have helped us out of one or two tricky situation are A Clark, L Era mus, S McMa ter and K Sutherland. Our best batsmen were S Marai, B Parkin and S Zeederberg.

Lindemann wa by far the best batsman and deserved hi promotion to the 2nd Team later in the term. Brown, Parrott, Marais and Week consistently scored runs, while Weber, KeJroeCooke, Marais, Di on and Weeks took most of the wicket.

All involved in the ide were well motivated and a pleasure to coach. Thank you.

UI9 MIDWEEK CRICKET The fir t term saw the introduction of an exciting new form of cricket de i ed to encourage the novice and ca ual midweek player to come out nnd derive the ma imum enjoyment out of the game. A limited 21-over format i u ed, where even or more bowler bowl a maximum of three over each. A bat man may only bat until he ha scored 25 runs, when a compul ory retirement i enforced. He may return to the crea e if all other 10 wicket have fallen in order to bat further within the span of 21 overs. By the middle of the term 23 boy made up the quad as the popularity of the new format took hold and new pread about the mo t enjoyable new cricket. Seven midweek matches

Our best batsmen were Alberts, with an average of 14,6; Stead (13,5) and Van Druten (11,3). McLaughlin was a steady opening bat in all the matches. The bowlers who never really had a chance to really ettIe down and find a good length nevertheless acquitted them elve admirably. The bowler who fared best were Wylie, who took 6 wickets in 12 over with an average of 6, ,and Le Roux, taking wickets in 10 over with an average of 2,8. Sixteen bowlers were used in the matches and all the boy had a go at wielding the willow with varying degree of ucce . The large squad presented no problems.

This group form a broad base of potential talent, and provides upportive depth for the enior ide .

The U15A cricket team i relatively ine perienced, but through hard work, ha improved quite con iderabl . The team was well led by Justin Rooklcdge and Lyall John on. My sincere thank to all the parent who have helped us in so many way and to Mark Well, who helped with umpiring. The bowling has been ound and the ground fielding very good. The batting ha not been of a con i tentl high tandard, and the biggest di appointment ha been the number of vital catches dropped.

The Under15D cricket team had the misfortune of lo ing all its five midweek matche , and it did eern they were olltclas ed by the A or B side they were pitted again t. However, they continued to practi e and play the game with a good deal of enthusia m. In the bowling department Mllnro was the only uceess tory, with a tally of nine wickets for forty runs in the five matche . Other such as Robert on, Goode, Leary, Stringer and Un er failed to attack the tump with any real dedication or eonsi teney. The batting was omewhat better, with Munro again doing well to ore 27 runs, Leary with 2 to hi credit, Goode with 17, Meyer 14 and Wannerton 13. But run llch a the e were not enough to win matche . Leary and Goode hared the captaincy and did their best to weld the players into a cohesive team - their effort were appreciated, if not altogeth r rewarded.

UNDER ISB CRICKET The inability of our bat men to build an inning and the number of no-bail and wide bo\! led bv our bowler were the two main factor which ~ade the cason uch a lean one. The team ha to learn to apply thernse(\'e and tart to "think" the game through. Terence Ryan improved a a captain as the a n progre ed.

We won this match bone WIcket, with three ball to pare in the la tover. Here Caril de Beer' knock of 47 not out wa a plea ure to watch. He clinched vIctory (or Wynberg with three consecutive four.

UNDER 14A CRICKET It i many years !:>inceWynberg has been fortunate enough to field uch a talented U14 cricket team. What make it all the more enjoyable to coach the e boy is their enthu ia m and willingne to learn. They also have an exceptional sen e of team loyalty; it i a pleasure to ee boy of this age putting the team intere t before their own. Our objective in the U14 division is not to win game!:>but to teach the boy the correct basics and to help them to enjoy playing. In order to do thi we believe that everyone in the team mu t b involved. Here Warren van der We thuizen, our captain, ha played an invaluable role. He i willing to give all bowler a chance to bowl, witch the batting order and change fielding po ition to keep all our player happy.

UNDER ISC CRICKET The UnderlSc team performed very well during the first term, winning ix out of even matches. The only match lo t wa again torman 110

Our batting is extremely powerful, 08 only being needed once to bat this eason. 0 doubt the highlight of the season was Mark Barham's magnificent 100 against Rondebosch (he batted the whole innings), but useful contribution were also made by Gavin Stofberg, Adrian Goslett, Simon HofmeYT and Craig White. As with the batting, we are fortunate to have a penetrative and varied bowling attack. Any team that can boast with four right-arm earner , a left-arm seamer, an off-spinner and a leg pinner, is bound to be able to bowl ides out. The fielding wa an area of concern to start with, but as the season improved, this aspect also improved tremendously. Our wicket-keeper, Jake Bester, was probably the most improved fielder. The parents have, as always, been most loyal supporter and provider of tea, cakes and other refreshments.

UNDER 14C CRICKET The U14C Cricket XI had good win throughout the season. They played and practised with enthusiasm and dedication which, together with marvellous team pirit, saw them through many a close game. The side consisted of A McCrae, R Jefferson, M D'Oliviera, G Crone, G Kelly, W Williamson, P Gordon, W Weitsz, M Holland, P Kirsten, R Scott, BPaton, G Coetzer. C.E.

CROSS-COUNTRY Again Wynberg teams dominated the leagues, winning the U15 and U17 league and being placed second to Bishops in the U19 league. However, trong competition from SACS (U17) and Westerford (V15) kept the athletes under pre ure. Wynberg wa awarded the trophy for the best school in the Peninsula - an award we have received since 19 5. At home, good results were recorded in the inter-house relay and in the ma sinter-house race. The 4 3km relay was won by Rhodes (Senior) and an Riebeeck (Junior) in time of 39:14 and 43:5 re pectively. Fa test times of the day went to D Milne (8:56 record) and M Arbuthnot (9:43 record). As usual, the day of the mas race was overca t, with rain threatening. DMilne won the senior 6km event in 19:29 (record) with M

UNDER 14B CRICKET The Under 14B cricket team had a most enjoyable and succe sful first half of the ea on.

The Fir t Team played nine games, of which it won three (against Milnerton, Herz}ja and Rondebosch Seconds) and lo t ix (against Bergvliet, Bishops, Edgemead, SACS, Rondebo ch and Fish Hoek). In mitigation it hould be noted that the SACS game was only lost by 1 stroke, while the strong Rondebosch 1st Team was the winner by a mere 7 troke. Wynberg's top core on this occasion and for the season was a par 36 by David Barnard. The First Team wa captained by David Matthews, who had the best season average of 41 over nine holes. Colour were awarded to David as well as to David Barnard, Dirk Grobbelaar, Marc Seccrua, Gordon Scott and Wayne Patton. Ian orgarb missed colours, having come to Wynberg only in the third term, but he is a promising player. The Second Team had an excellent season and won the Second League South. Of even league games played, they lost the first to Settlers! by one point, drew the second with Bishops and then proceeded to win the remaining five games (again t Edgemead, PinelandsI, Herzlia, TygerbergI and Table ViewI). Two friend lies again t Rondebosch and Fish Hoek were also won by dear margins.

The econd team lo t only one game (to orman Hen hilwood in the fir t term); the UIS and UI4C teams were unbeaten, and the U14A and U14D each lo t two game . Generally, the type of hockey that Wynberg teams played reflected the high quality of coaching most are receiving. Wynberg wa well represented on the provincial front. Liam Beattie and Paul Revington were selected for WP Schools' A', David A kew, Sean Sinnott, Paul Wilson and Wayne Denne for WP'B', and Michael Fletcher, jason Mallory and Wayne Dickson for WP'C'.

Paul Revington wa an out tanding captain who motivated the ide extremely well and led by example. He played a very big part in the team' ucce . Winning the Puma Cup wa obviously a highlight of the season. Although they did not play particularly well in the quarter-final (Bishop 2-1) and semi-finals (Bergvliet 1-0), they outplayed Paarl Boy (4-0) in the final. Having won the Puma Cup the previous week, the team played with confidence in the annual 7-a-side, eventually beating Bi hops ]·0 in the final, scoring 15 goal in even games without conceding a goal. In the Indoor Hockey tournament, the team did well, and were unlucky to lose 2-1 to Bi hop in the emi-finals.

The fir t team practised on the Astroturf once a week, on average, which obviously paid dividends on the Puma Knockout Cup as well a in confidence and !>kills. Wynberg won ten of the eleven matche they played on A tro, lo ing only to Parktown in the pre-season tournament. The team truggled on a poor urface, a can be een from the re uit in the Alexander Road tournament in Port Elizabeth, where matches took place on rugby-field type field, and in the matche against Fairmont and SACS. Compared to Wynberg fir t tearns of the pa t few ea on , this team knew where the goals were, a evidenced by the fact that they averaged in exce of three goals per game. However, mi ed opportunitie still co t u!>victorie in a few game, notably against Rondebosch, Bishop and Selborne. The t am had a good nucleus of fine player who regularly repre ented the fir t team la t year. Competition for place was fierce, and the team had a lot of depth. Two players were elected for the WP' A' team, four for the 'B' team and three for the' 'team.

Trevor Good winding up to hit the clearace (Photo: A. Louwren , Photographer) 116

Wayne Dickson (32; 32) Left-half. Wayne always played with commitment and urgency. A left-half he cover-defended e tremely well and generally tackled well, although he allows players to beat him on his left too frequently. He used his reach well, and his distribution was generally good. Picked to WP'C. Paul Wilson (24; 41) Centre-back. Although he often ended up on his knees when tackling at the beginning of the season, his tackling improved steadily. He supported attacks well and recovered weJl in difficult positions. In the pressure games, hi distribution became erratic. He hardly missed a ball the whole sea on. Picked for WP'B'. Michael Fletcher (30; 30) Right-half. At the beginning of the season, Michael's basics were good and he tackled reasonably well. His tackling became stronger and he has been more confident in an attacking role. As a result of a niggling injury, he wa low on the turn. He tended to put himself under pre sure by not keeping the ball on his tick. Picked for WP'C.

Michael Fletcher twirls the stick during the Founders' Tournament (Photo: A. Louwrens Photographer) ,

Jason Mallory (27; 49) Ja on mi ed the PE tour through illne s, but pla~~d every other game, and in a variety of po lhons. He move quickly with the ball and has a good shot at goal. His best games were at left-wing and centre-forward. When playing link he tends to be guilty of 'ball-watching' and tends to commit in the tackle. He must also learn to keep the ball on his tick rather than pu h it ahead when under pressure. Picked for WP'C.

Most memorable goals: Wayne Denne's goal against Paarl Boys in the Puma Cup final and Sean Sinnott's diving goal against PinelaJlds. Worst game: St Andrews, on a rugby field.

PLAYER PROFILE (number of matches this season; total number of matches for first team)

Paul Revington (31; 83) Centre-link. Paul had an outstanding season for Wynberg. Hi work rate far urpa ed that of any ot~er player in the team, and his urgency and dnve hfted the play of those around him. On A tro, especially, his skill were of a very high standard. Hi peed off the mark, change of pace and direction and balance are all attribute which go toward making a good hockey player. Hi tackling improved a the eason progres ed. Repre ented WP' A' for the econd year.

Liam Beattie (23; 23) Goalkeeper. Liam was a certainty for the WP Schools' team, and was picked as the reserve goalkeeper for the SA Schools camp. Hi performance in the 7-a- ide tournament was outtanding. He didn't always maintain a high level of motivation, and wa al 0 vulnerable on the right foot. Trevor Good (29; 37) Sweeper. Trevor worked very hard at hi game and improved throughout the sea on. Hi distribution, in particular, improved immensely, and he tackled well on Astro. At times he did thing without thinking, which can be crucial in the la t line of defence.

Wayne Denne (29; 29) Link. Wayne is a very versatile player who i at home in the links or in the defence. He reads 117

Paul Revington looks to Van der Westhuizen for support

the game well and his anticipation i thu good. He is also a trong tackler. Hi di tribution i generally good, but he is sometime guilty of trying to hit the ball 'through' defender . He mu t also avoid the duel in midfield when this i unnecessary. Picked for WP'B'. Robert Bate (24; 41) Left-'A.;ng. Robert cored some fine goal for the fir t team, mainly through imply being 'goalhungry', and because he read the cros from the nght welL He was unable to command a regular place in the fir t team, a he failed to de elop a change of pace and tends to run in a very upright po ition with the ball too close to hi feet, a erious flaw, e pecially on A tTO. Robert would have been a regular in mo t other school fir t teams. David Askew (32; 7 ) Link. David made hi debut for the fir t team in 19 8, but never really fulfilled the potential he showed then. David hated playing on gras, especially a bad gra field. On Astro, if given a little room, he had the ability to split defences, running deceptively quickly with the ball. He had the ability and confidence to keep po eion if no pa. wa available. Hi tackling, though, wa oft and, although he scored ix goals, he never had a good hot from the edge of the circle.

Midfjeld tussle during practice

throughout the sea on, as did hi topping. Although he did core some very good goal , namely again t Pineland and Queen, he mis ed the goal far too often when shooting from the edge of the circle. Sean alway gave 100~ for the team and fully deserved hi selection for WP'B'.

Sean Sinnott (27; 44) Right-wing. Sean wa a powerful right-wing in the sense that he wa difficult to top once moving. Hi stick work continued to improve 11

Results (Wynberg scores fir t)

Brandon van der Westhuizen (27; 27) Striker. Brandon was always goal-hungry and was often at hand to pounce on the loo e ball in the goal area. His control wa good and hi stickwork improved through the eason. He wa fitter in the first half of the sea on than the second, which obviously affected his work rate. While scoring several good goals, he mis ed a few "sitter", and must be more re olute in the tackle.

2ND HOCKEY XI Summary The second hockey ide had a uccessful ea on by anybody's standard, losing only one match. The side grew in both confidence and skill as the year progres ed and were without a doubt the strongest econd side in the ape Peninsula. An indication of the depth of Wynberg's hockey is that many of the second ide players could play first team hockey at other schools. Simon Crone wa captain and was ably supported by Cerald Bailey. The side played ome memorable hockey with victories against Paul Roo (15-0) and Plumstead (11-0) coming to mind. The ide al 0 achieved succes at the seven-a- ide tournament, lo ing to the fir tide in the quarter finals.

5TH XI HOCKEY

UNDER 15A HOCKEY

Under the capable leader hip of Michael Small, the 5th team had many victories, but suffered some defeats as well. Unfortunately, owing to many injuries in the higher teams, the team was reshuffled quite often, which co t them two or three matche . Adrian Secchia is definitely the mo t improved player of the ea on, and with the help of the other able back, Miles Kennedy, defended our goals against the onslaught.

The U1SA hockey team had a dream season this year, going the whole ea on without losing a match, and winning the U15 Tournament at the end of the season. Their record of one draw and thirteen wins is a fair reflection of the way they dominated this age group in the We tern Cape. All the players have very good individual skill and have learned the benefit of upporting one another on the field. However, one or two players stand head and shoulders above the others, notably the captain, Peter Blyth, who was also chosen to captain the False Bay U15 side; the goalkeeper, Wayne Merri, who conceded only goals the whole ea on); the sweeper, Robert Fowler, who hardly every mis ed a tackle; and the centre forward, Tyrone Thornson, who found the net no fewer than 26 times in 14 games. Jame rone, the vice-captain, and Robert Fowler were al 0 elected to play for the False Bay side. Other regular in the ide were Jason Gordon, a tigeri h right wing who never gave up, Keith Trail!, who e individual skills have improved remarkably since la t year, Mark Coetzee and Dalia Tacon - both very safe and dependable halve; Gary Brown, a half who probably improved his game more than any other player during the ea on, and Shane Copeland, a left wing who left many defenders flat-footed with his stickwork. Robert Fennessy (centre-halO, Michael Beattie (Link) and James Well (forward) also repre nted the side. The team wa unfortunate to lose 0-1 in the emi-finals of the U15 Indoor Tournament, as they had the better of Bergvliet but failed to core from two penalty rucks. Goal corer for the 14 game during the eason were Thorn on (26), Blyth (8), Gordon (8), Crone (4), Copeland (3), Fennes y(2), Traill (2), Beattie (1), Fowler (1), Wells (1).

The boys built up a trong channel unit in their play, and it wa the team-work within these channel that made the forwards (Keith, Brent, Bryan, Rodney), the links (Mei, Carl, Stephen) and the defence (Paul, Alan, Sven, Damon, Mark) so effective, and definitely a team to be reckoned with.

UNDER 1SB HOCKEY The U15B's had an extremely ucce ful ea on this year. They were one of the strongest side in the B league in the Province, and could easily have taken on many of the teams in the A league. The reason for their performance can be attributed to their enthusiasm and e cellent team pirit. The team wa led by Andrew Hillier, who alway played a solid game at centre-half. Stuart Bailey, who played at sweeper, displayed outstanding tackling ability. At right-half Brett Glen often initiated many attacks with e cellent tickwark. He wa upported b a hard working and creative right-link, Mark dos Santa. Thi combination wa completed by Rodne Jenkin who, a right-wing, often outpaced the oppon nt to et up many goals. Mo t of the goal were cored by James Wells with hi penetrating run at goal. Charles Hey, with his hooting ability, supported James in this goal- coring role. On the left, Robert Fennessy always dis-

unabating enthusiasm throughout the season, despite runs to Kirstenbosch and the like which did not meet with a great deal of popularity! evertheless the runs did build team spirit and fitness, and showed the rugger boys that there's more to hockey knockers than meets the eye! Success was variable, mainly because the sides rarely remained constant from week to week. A number of boys moved up early in the season, others near the end, and the rest shuffled in between. In all, the E side had a better season than the F's, winning most of their matches and losing the rest in closely contested games. The only seriou defeat took place at the hands on Muizenberg, who fielded a pack in a different league altogether. Play was stopped early in the interests of good health! Players of note in the ide were Logan, Wilenberg and Kemp in the forward line and Stofberg and Edwards in defence. Sadly, the E's lost mo t games because of an inability to finish off otherwise good movements into the opponent' circles. The F's were definitely a social side and after a few matches it became clear that playing for enjoyment rather than winning would have to be their lot! (Most defeats were of alarming proportions - double figures - so it was no surpri e that victorie, no matter how small, were cau e for great jubilation. Kingpins of the F's were ewdigate, Currer and Carew. Owing to bad weather a large number of games were cancelled toward the end of the season and things tended to fizzle out rather than end climactically. Therefore to tho e who played, I hope you enjoyed it and wi h you good fortune in the next season. Finally, a big word of thanks to a)) parent who helped with lifts and supported matches, and especially to MrWillenburg, who e voice wa often at the fields to take over when mine could take no more!

The mo t uccessful group were the U1S's, followed by the UW . The attitude of the school to rugby is that it i a game to be enjoyed and the accent in coaching is on the development of kills.

The 1991 ea on ha been one of mixed fortune. The U19 division has been a relatively weak one, with the number of player fewer

The level of skill of all the players was exceptionally high, which must be attributed to good coaching in the lower divi ions. The forwards played with a great deal of determination, their major strength being crurnmaging. We lacked a second good line-out forward, the major burden being borne by Alistair Hill. The team did, however, adapt well to this weakness. Perhaps the major weakness was our inability to keep the ball alive. The backs cored ome memorable tries, but tended to be suspect under pre ure. When they had some space in which to move they were devastating. A player who must be mentioned is Robin Buck, who scored some classic wing tries during the season. Marc Turvey and Julian Malan led the team well, and the parents were most loyal supporters and transporters. A word of thanks must also go to Mr Stanford and the B team for their loyal upport during the season.

3ROXVRUGBY Thi was not a particularly uccessful season from a statistical point of view. everthele , the team seemed to enjoy the eason and, on occasions, played with a lot of determination, which led to attractive rugby. Certainly the match again t SACS during the 1st term is a fine example, during which seven tries were cored. I have nothing but praise for the spirit and attitude shown by this team during practices and matche. Their enthusiasm made coaching such a pleasure, although this team was often di rupted due to players being promoted. Special mention must be made of the following player: Byron Mulholland (Captain), who always led the side by fine example; "the always present front row" of Stephen Penny, Fanbelt Campbell and Dawson; Gloyne the towering lock; Keytel; Hud on; Mawman, Schultz and Thoma hoff all made valuable contribution . A special word of thanks must go to Mr Cro for always being ready, willing and able with hi 4th team ("corridor side"). The parent mu t also be thanked for their much appreciated support throughout the ea on.

The team functioned as a unit, therefore it is difficult to single out anybody. It was plea ing to ee the boys "filing" in for the Ateam, and doing so with confidence. The match again t Paul Roos was a highlight. We won the game 11-8, and in so doing were the only victorious Wynberg side. The best rugby wa , however, played again t SACS (33-0) and Rondebosch (28-0). I would like to thank the parents for their support during the season - it was appreciated.

UNDER lSA AND B RUGBY

UNDER lSC RUGBY

This has been a season of mixed fortune for bath teams. The A team was well led by Chris Raubach and Lyle Johnson. The ide played pirited rugby, but unfortunately lost several matches by e tremely close margins. Kicking was a major weakness, as there a no reliability. Unfortunately there was certainly a lack of commitment at times. Concentration on the field wa also a major cause for concern. We scored 31 time during the eason (from 15 matches). Towards the end of the season the backline looked extremely dangerous, with both Oeneys and Arbuthnot receiving plenty of good ball. Lyle John on is an extremely talented player - a strong runner and olid on defence. He certainly led by example and always played with extreme determination and commitment. The forwards worked well together, and I was pleased with their general good control, especially in the loo e phases. Special mention mu t be made of the three loose forwards, Chris Raubach, Bruce Salt and Brent Mills, who all covered an extr mely high work rate, were alway early to the breakdown point and ready to set up the second phase. The B team improved tremendously during the eason. From a lack-lustre beginning in the early part of the season, they settled down well, playing a good pattern of open rugby. The highlight of the season for the B team must have been the away game again t Rondebo ch. From being 7-16 down at half-time and playing into a tiff north-westerly, they pulled out all the stop to win the game 20-16. Graeme Dunbar ha aU the attribute of an A team player; he i gut y in the tackle and di plays an ability to read the situation well. He distributes the ball well to his backline. The most improved player in the B team ranks was Layne Manley, who al 0 ha great potential, but need to develop more con-

This team had an enjoyable, uccessful sea on, displaying plenty of spirit and commitment in beating teams such a Ronebosch, Bi hops, SACS and Paarl Boys' High. The only real disappointment wa the poor performance against Paarl Gym where we deservedly lo t by 10-21. .The team had no fewer than three captain because of promotion to higher teams. The e were Brent Stander, hristopher Kalt and Gavin Meyer, all of whom performed admirably. The team consisted of M Theunissen, A Ra slnne, B Stander, M Templeton, J Ling, J Rookledge, C Kalt, M Kirkman, J Ba ter, M Laithwaite, A Wannerton, P McIntyre, G Nagel, A Wakeham, J Munro, P Templeton, 0 Meeue, C alan and G Meyer. Many of these players have the potential to go far in the game. The most improved player was undoubtedly Paul Templeton, who made great stride a a lock during the eason. One of the major contributing factor to the uecess of the team was undoubtedly the enthuia tic and e cellent coaching of one of our tudents, Mr Dean Godden. O.G.

Towards the end of the season the team's defence and handling skills were most impressive. The team had several captains during the season, including Mark Kirkman - extremely unlucky not to play consistently for a higher team, Chris olan and Stephen Ruffell. Regular players in the team were: R Dorsett, C Parker, 0 Shelley, S Kahn, M Faure, M Karpinski, G Leary, J Field, S Thompson, M Kirkman, M Chellew, V Fletcher, I orgarb, S Anziska, A Wakeham, T Baxter, W Faure, 0 Sillifant, D Langmann, C olan and S Ruffell.

UNDER 14B RUGBY Towards the end of the season these boys played very good rugby and it was quite evident that they thoroughly enjoyed their last three games. Luke Baker, Antonio Bruni and David Thomas, until his injury, proved to be able captains. Wayne McKenzie, Gareth O'Brien and Gavin Stofberg are talented players who will go far. Marc Douglas developed into a useful tight forward. Julian Thomas, Lyle Bowditch, Franco Maritz always gave of their best. Who will ever forget Luke Baker's charge down the sideline like a first class wing and Jake Bester's runaway try which was never scored against Paarl Boys'? It is memories like this that will make us remember this team.

UNDER 14 RUGBY In this 150th year the U14 division showed great promi e for the future. Boasting 5 teams, equalled only by Bishops, it seems as if the injury scare is not as damaging to the sport as previously believed. We had a reasonably successful eason, but more important is that the boys had the chance to improve their skills and knowledge of the game. Thanks must go to the coaches, Me r Pieter Roodman, Luke Hoefnagel and Michael Home for their dedication and commitment.

UNDER 14C RUGBY

UNDER 14A RUGBY

The Under 14C rugby team had a succe sful ea oh, e pecially in the second half, and remained unbeaten. After an indifferent first half (we lost mainly to other schools' B teams) in which we made careless and unnecessary mi take, the side realised that running the ball was the answer. We eventually scored 47 tries in total, with Mark Faivelewitz, captain and wing, scoring 20 of them. This feat would not have been possible had it not been for his team mates. It i alway good to see fifteen-man rugby, and I am sure that each and every boy thoroughly enjoyed playing for the C' . My thanks must go to the boys for making it such a pleasurable and memorable season and to all the parent for their loyal upport.

This team had an unfortunate season. There is a wealth of talent in the ide, but they were unable to put it together. They were unlucky to meet up with a Paarl Boys' ide and a Paul Roos side which are the best these schools have had in the last five year. The team showed character and never gave up. After winning the first two games of the season, then losing three in a row and drawing the next game it became apparent that we lacked the ability to capitalise on the weaknes of other teams. In the third term the boys played positive rugby and ended the term by winning 2 of the 6 game and narrowly losing 3 including the game against Bishop where we led 7-0 with 7 minutes to go. Ja on du Preez and Marius Roodman proved to be very strong leaders who led by example. Craig White, Liam Brown and Chris Baister forms a formidable front row, while Ja on Parson i perhap the mo t improved player in the side. Paul Jooste developed into a more than useful scrumhalf and Morné Truter fitted well
