An example of taking responsibility for oneself is our new timetable this year. 'Irus timetable gives a possible two period a da for lIldepeIldelIt study for the senior classes. Pupils may use this time for extra subjects, homework, projects, work in the computer room or reading in the library. Equally, the can sce this time as a "free period" and waste the opportunity. It is interesting to note how diITcrenll boys have reacted to this ne\ found "freedom". We, at Wynberg, shall conlinue to maintain Our four pdlars--acaderruc, culture, service and spon. Our 200 I prefects have been selected to serve in these areas and to promote lllcse ideals. Wynberg men are still expected la contribute in all areas and the Supcra Moras Award continues to be the highest award tllat can be bestowed on a Wynberg man. Everyone at Wynberg i expected to earn a minimum of a basic upera Moras, with outstandmg all-rounders achieving a Silver or Gold. Our new prefect system reflects a change of emphasis in school leadership. Now the expectation is that our leaders are there to serve therr conunuruty and are judged on their ability to do so. Leadership opportunities have been

expanded considerably \\1th even school prcfects (gold badge) being appointed, twent prefects (silver badge) and innumerable pupils on tlle subcommittees. The opportunity is there for those who strive li) therr portfolios to eam promotion to the next level. lollen remark tllat we are trying to bUild a catlledral at W)llbcrg-a place not only of physical beauty, bul a place where we ma' take satisfaction and pride from a job well done In addition to both academic and support staIT, I Wish to thank all tllose \\ho have helped to design and build our 2000 portion of the Wynberg Catlledral. A particular tllank you to the parcnts, many of "ham have made considL'Table sacnfices to send tlleir sons to Wynberg Boys' lligh chool. A comprehensive and challenging education is the most precIous gi Il a parent can gl ve a chi Id TIlwlk you for entrusting your son to us. Finally, to tile }Owlg men of Wynberg-it IS your commitmenL our enlllUsiasm, your pride wld our passion which has enabled our Catllcdral to expand and to flourish. Well done to you all on a good year! K CRichardson Headmaster

MATIRIC

CLASS 2{())(())(())

VALEDICTORY SPEECH Jeremy Cl'Owder

StafT, parents, Mr Richardson, and m friends of the class 2000 Matrics. I have been given the honourable task of addressing you today on the lighter side of matric and, no, Brad Ashton, I am not talking about zippos. Before I get going here, there are a few announcements. First of all, there are applications for jobs nex1 year that have arrived: I.R. Williams from the Jo 'burg Zoo in the primate department; DavId P. Botha from the environmental afTairs department-more specificall the alien vegetation removals project. A letter has also come through from "Ulllty" for Jade I3randreth. It says you lell something in onc of their vases and they were \\ondl.:ring if you \ ould kindly come and remove it. Another lener came from the Guume s Book of Records for Preslyn Venkatiah. They say his afro was so hug\! that it would have made Barry White proud Voyager miles for Jay. We have a diver e bunch of guys this year who come from many difTerent backgrounds. This would normally be a recipe for disaster, but not this Wynberg

year. It was the mixture for good friendships and great times. Yes, sure we have our respective groups, like the curries, headed by Rushdi and Dunners. We also have the coloured bra's, headed by Charlton and I3randon-Dane, you wish' Next come the jock.s. Many guys would like to be in this group but because this guy is sooo huge, there is only space for one-Steve Newman. Then lastly there is the hardcore group. lrus group is sooo cool that when you walk past them you catch a cold The hardcores are, of course, headed by me! Try a little harder next time, Simon. This year the Wynberg matrics excelled 111 academics. Three bright guys highlight this. When Mr Taylor asks a matric biology class, -'Ho\\ do vou know when it is getting wanner?" Neil Wilson piJX.'S up, 'Uurrrh, sir, it's 'cause the temperature rises!" Then comes Dik-Kop Danie, the chicken miner. Mr Fraser asks us to name some types of mining, so Dane says, "Sir, you can mine chickens!" Then comes BradJe Ashton-the Dux of the school. Aller a long explanation on continental drill b Mr chenck on how the continents ·noat' on the surface below, Brad asks Mr Schenck, " ir, can you dive underneath the continents then?" I also heard from some reliable sources that while in Italy on rugby tour, they drove past a fe\\ cows. Brad said, "Check there, ok cs, they have cows in Italy too!" Sport has also done well this year at Wynberg The first rugby side did exceptionally well and it was all thanks to Simon Freemantie and Steve Newman. Anthony Weinberg ha played the most games for a first hockey side, which was great to sce, as he was our head boy at K.irstenhof! Then we come to the prefects. These guys held tile name of Wynberg high. They never went out on the weekends. The never drank. They never smoked and the did not fight. Issssiiit!!! Just ask Nick Havers and Nick Kynacos. Another highlight of the year had to be tile Matric Dance and, more specifically, the aller party Everyone enjoyed il. Some more than others. Michael Elliot, Ken Yang, Rolf K.iefTer and Jade Brandreth really, really enjo ed it.

Boys' lIigh School Magazine 2000 - 2S-

It's amat.ing how through the years you become fnend~ \\;th teachers As you get to know them, you also start hav1l1g J1Icknames for them, like Rodney 'I stress every lesson' Inglis or Edward '1 kick Dane out of class every les, on' Blignaut, or Mr 'I can see the headlines' Richardson There are also short ones like Insect Roberl,>on and Tl II:: LOCUST. l'hen th..:n; IS a class which 22 other guys and I laugh 111 every lesson, and that is woodwork!

Schooling has to impose some fonn of confonmty of behaviour so that learrung can take place more ctTecllvely. Ilowever, if confonnlt~ becomes the mam aun of education, then it is dangerous. Some of you may well agree \\IIth Mark Twain when he said' "1 have never let my schooling interfere with III education ,.

Wynberg Bo)s' IIigh School :\lagazine 2000 ·26 -

Senseless eonfonnity leads to shallowTless-shallo\\<TIess of thought, shallo\\<TIess of arnbition and shallo\\<TIess of vision. Confonnity leads to an obsession with self image. You must OW11the "right" things, drive the "right" car. Confonnit is driven by a desire to be liked and invariably embraces extreme laziness. I have heard it said that some young people toda seem to develop a mental arthritis forty years before the physical kind! This shallo\\<TIess will deprive you of your creativity and your critical think..ing-skills which are sorel needed in South Africa and the world today. It .... rill deprive you of the ultimate enjoyment-the enjoyment and the satisfaction of a Job well done. My hope for you matrics is that your education never stops. Al prize giving last night., I urged you to reach the top of your mountain and look at the view. Mountain people lead more productive lives lhan those on the plains-they have more vision, they can sce more options. 'mis school has instilled lhe four pillars lnto your lives. You can go nowhere in life without them. You will always need mental stimulation: every year medical science gives us more reasons why we must keep lit; a love of music and culture v.rill nourish, uplift and sustai.n you in the years ahead. May you

never forget your Wynberg education-there v.rill be plenty of opportwuties i.n the future to pay societ)' baek for your privileged education. May you be there to answer the eall. I believe in the power of one. One person can make a difference-be it in the family, i.n a cricket teanl, i.n a school, in a business or (in Mandela's case) even in a country. Back yourselves and never w1d('''festimate what you, as an i.ndividual, can achieve. There are 146 matrics. Most of you have been together for live years, some for twelve. Except for your English exams, this v.rill be the last time ever that you will be together as a group. Do not forget each other. Do not lose touch. IIelp each other. Contact each other. Remember to laugh about the good alld the bad limes at school. Let this beautiful ar1d wonderful school grow in your memories and when you think about liS in the years ahead, come back and visit us. We are proud of you matrics. On behalf of your teachers, the wider community of the Wynberg family, and the thousands of Old Boys who have gone before you, I thartk you all for your contributions and look forward to wc1com..ing ou back i.n future years as Wynberg Old Boys.

IN TlH(E SERVICE OF OT1H(]E;RS The Paarl Trirulgular saw Wynberg beginning lo challenge the dominance of Paarl Boys' mld Paul Roos. The Interhouse Athletics, prior to the Trirulgular, proved to be just the tonic needed for unifying the school. The Prefect Project, inspired by Mr Robertson's work in the service pillar, was a successful drive and all thmlks must go to the rest of the pupils for theLT support ruld much desired cooperation. As always, many Wynberg pupils have given up some of their time and have helped Wlth many corrununity projects. There were literally hWldreds of projects that required or desired help from willing youngsters. ll1Ïs resulted in many bo s having a wide variety of projects from which to choose. Perhaps the most noticed project was tile cleruling ruld feeding of tile oil-covered penguins on the we~ coast (Many pupils from Wynberg spent their weekends and holidays trying to scrub and feed these birds.) If all the cOlrunwlity and school service events had to be mentioned the list would go on forever. If you feel that something which you thought to have been imporl<U1tought to have been mentioned, don 'I feel you're being neglected because anything which any pupils or people associated with the school, did is as imporl<U11as any of the other events that were mentioned here. I would like to thank the prefect bad of 2000 for all the support they gave me mld I !nil\' appreciate all the have done for this school. . Justin van Winkel ruld the prefects of 200 I, I wish ou the best of luck for the upcomlOg year, and ma Wynberg's name flourish under your leadership and guidance.

The road ahead, at the begIlming of my selection, seemed to be very CXClt.mg,ruld what made it even more spine-chilling was the fact that I had no idea of what was to come. The year 2000 went b more smoothly than I could ever have hoped for and onee again I'd like to thank my fellow matric pupils and the Grade 11's for leading the rest of the school. I know that mmly might regard this as being yet rulOthcr cliché but the year went by extremely quickly and every event that occurred throughout the year ...ias a highlight, but as on..: may come to expect, there were certain events that shone more bnghtly Wynbt'rl

SERVICE The year 2000 has seen Service take on a new and extended look at Wynberg. Onc of the main aims this year was to establish Service as a vital and working part of the day-to-day running of the school. This has been achieved with enthusiastic support and encouragement from most of the Interact Representatives and Class Teachers. Service now incorporates the Interact Club, Recycling and aspects of First Aid, Computer Monitors and Library Monitors. Tnere have been numerous appeals which have resulted in many a pantry cupboard being raided., wallet having its spare change removed or cupboard having unused clothing and shoes removed. The Interact Club under leadership of Grant James and Mr Don Allen, have done a sterling job in these appeals as well as having organised the annual 8ig Walk which raised RIO 000. A number of our fanlilies have brought in recycling on a regular basis as well. A start was made on encouraging each class to take on both a community and school project. The following classes need to be congratulated: • 11A on their Hout 8ay beach clean-up. • 9D on donating their teddy bears to the local police station to assist them in the handli.ng of cases involving children. • lOA on the excellent service offered as ushers parking attendants etc. at school functions. ' • 9E on raising R270 for the City Mission, an organisation that cares for children in need. • 9F on raising R290 for the City Mission. • KB on raising R 190 for the SA Guide Dogs Association. • 9A on raising Rl 200 for the SA Guide Dogs Association. Along with money raised selling refreshments at a disco. a cheque for R2 000 has been sent to the Guide Dogs Association. Two exciting developments will be worked on next year. The one is the policy of each class taki.ng on both a school project and a community project. Wc will be aiming to do things next year. The emphasis is on Service and that involves the giving of time and energy, not just money. The other development is the new prefect system. It is going to be most interesting to see how Service will grow with this s stem in place as it allows more boys tilan before to develop their leadership skills and play a more active role in the school. At the time of writing this report, Grades 8 and 9 are filling in their application forms for the 8asic Supcra Moras certificate. Many are finding that the Wynberg

requirements for Service for the year 2000 have not been met. On the one hand this is disappointing because the opportwlities to serve were there but not taken, but on the other hand, it establishes a challenge for next year-in order to be a wellrounded person, all four pillars need attention.

FmST AID REPORT Master-in-charge: Mr S Hudson-8ennett Chairman: Ernile Gerber Vice-Chairman: Gareth Everest Secretary: Damien Roland The First Aid season of 2000 started off on a rather bumpy note as we had a new committee and a new Master in Charge, Mr Hudson-8ennett, but at the end of the day we all gave it our best and got the job at hand done successfully. Among new acquisitions we started off the season by getting a new cabinet for the First Aid room, which was kindly donated by Mr A Gerber and new ice-boxes (the old ones were museum pieces), as well as new day-glow first aid vests. I was pleased that we had so many new people joining First Aid., which made it easier for the rest of us. All of our new First Aiders completed their Level One and Two First Aid courses and the rest of us completed our Level Two and Apvanced Level Three courses with Mr Donald Nortier who came to Wynberg to teach us and we thank him for his time and patience. This season we concentrated our efforts on rugby matches and practices. Saturday mamings were a pleasure and we all thoroughly enjoyed tile good sport played b Wynberg and visitors. The rugby game against Sacs, which was televised, was a bonus for us as we were congratulated on our good work on television. We would also like to thank the everpresent and reliable guys of A.mbustat. We all hope to take part in more outside sporting activities next year as we have done in the past. We wish Daniel Ramage all the best as he leaves Wynberg and starts his 8M at the Ambulance Training College. First Aiders Gareth Everest, Damien Roland, Darren Turner, Kat Ipinge and Matthew Hull showed the true meaning of dedication and enthusiasm. First Aiders like these are a credit to the school and are perfect exanlples of truc Wynberg gentlemen. Emile Gerber

WithOut the assistance of Mea Lashbrooke and a small group of mothers, the recycling depot would have collapsed. However, I am happy to report that envirorunental awareness is alive and continuing to be part of Wynberg. Trish Hutton-Squire offered her assistance to our gardens. She is creating indigenous beds which will not only beautify our grounds but make our gardens water-friendly. ill years to come we will enjoy seeing the fruits of her labours. Hopefully, next year we will be able to entice a group of enUmsiastic mothers to assist Trish in her endeavours. llle mothers of Wynberg do not hesitate to hecome involved in all aspects of school life.

"Parisian Nights" The Matric Dance held on 15th September 2000 was a splendid and glamorous atTalr Thl! ilieme was Paris and ilie moment Ulo.:malrics entered Ule door they felt ilie excitement and atmosphere of that beautiful city. 'Illey walked dOWll the Champs Elysees and through the Impressive Arc de Triomphe, past ilie typical Parisian street scenes wiili pavement cafes and artists, down into ilie Mt.:tropolitain tunnel and linally into the hall which was decorated wiili French art and an enonnous EifTel Tower. Fn.:nch music and can-can girls added glamour to tl1e evening and Ule committee and waiters in their French berets added spice. Of course the honoured .guests, our matrics and their partners looked stUlm1l1g. The décor wa admired by everyone and the months of hard work paid oIl'.

[t was an astounding year of top quality productions, the most astounding two being the pupil-produced detective dranla, The All/rder Game, and the Ilroadway review, Thal's Elllerlaillmelll. The All/rder Game was produced by amatric pupil, JonaUlan Bruwer (on his own initiative!) and involved some of tl1e best actors from our alma mater, as well as young ladies from ilie Girls' Iligh School. lt was a slick, entertainillg, enjoyable mld wonderful production; the case of its perfonnances bclying all Ule efTort that went into it-but as Ulev say' the more professionally something is done Ulc easier it looks. 'Ihe sets w~re convincing enough to have hosted a profeSSional Agailia Christic production! Mmly thmlks must go to Jonathan and friends for ilieir cOlmnitment to tl1e cultural side of Wynberg Boys' J ligh. ThaI's ElIlertaillmenl can only be summed up in two words: amazingly slIperb!

It was ilie director Mr Brian Botha's, second production of Ulis calibre ill which h..: achiev..:d his aims of having a top quality production involving as mmly pupils as he could. This involvement was not only an amazing leanung experience for the actors and singers, but it exposed a number of young men to ballet and tempo dancing, subjected many, mally boys to Ule tension involved in stage mmlagement, and relined our already slIck technical crew in the lighting and sound aspecL~. /l.s a life skills exercise, this production is invaluable-just ask those involved about their now honed time-management skills, as ertive personalities ruld developed levels of conlidence!

MAJOR PRODUCTION "THAT'S ENTERTAINlIENT" The major production was an experiencc I will never forget, mainly because I saw it over 20 times and all the songs from it are now stuck in my head. When I went to my flfst rehearsal about two weeks before the openillg night, I did not actually know what to think about the whole thing and I honestly did not think it would become such a great success. From then onwards, I had to start setting and fix.ing lights, day in and day out, with the rest of the technical crew, and unfortunately I had to cut class, as all my teachers will know! Everything I normally do was put on hold for about five weeks and the only thing allowed on my mind was The Major Production. Every night I had to be at school with the rest of the cast, teachers, backstage crew and technical crew, rehearsing and going through our scripts, checking everything was 100% right. On the fIrst night all went well although the hall was not very full, which was quite surprising because it was compulsory for the whole school to attend. The second, third and fourth nights were very well attended and on the last night we had to put out a couple of extra rows of chairs. "nle Major Production ended with everyone going into the fountain (even Mr Kruger, after a bit of a struggle). I think everybody who was involved and who came to watch thought it was a great success and enjoyed it immensely.

Gregg Crumpton, 9F

Wynberg Boys' High School successfully produced il" second Major Production: That's Entertainment. I took part in this fantastic event inlo which many hours of hard work went. I was there every night and here is a behind-the-scenes look at the Major Production. It started fairly well on the first night where the Littlewood camp was free to roam the school as long as they were quiet. TIllS went according to plan until about the third night when a very angry Mr Kruger sentenced lIS to the most abominable punishment ever. We were forced into classrooms and faced with the daunting task of doing PREP! Now the reason for this is that Littlewood are generally a rowdy, good humoured bunch who love to shout and run around. We did so till Judge Kruger and Deputy Matthew Cook brought lIS to trial. Nonetheless, Littlewood's remarkable knack of making the best out of the worst helped all of us overcome the long, dreary hours in the classroom. Wynberg

When the time came to do our parade, Depuly Cook came in and started issuing commands left, right and centre, oblivious to the hosti.Ie stares and angry murmurings. At first it was rather bewildering with all the lights and there were a few mistakes made by some characters but it went rather smoothly. Back in the classrooms there was a bit of trouble among the ranks of the Littlewood Men. Some of the JPs were ruling with an iron grip, not mentioning aloud names like Pierre llare and Herbert Mayosi. But it turned out fine in the end and on the last day everyone went into the pond and all troubles were forgotten.

VARIETY CONCERT This year's Variety Concert achieved its aim of providing one of the major attractions for the pupils of the Wynberg Schools. The Variety Concert has lived with the mollo "For the Pupils, by the Pupils" and this year exceeded all expectations. In the past few years the Variety Concert has taken the programme of the music bands with a few skits in between. This year reversed it. The evenulg was Cilled with stagecaused wows, screams and cheers with some easy listening in between. The eveIUng opened up with a spectacular "seizing of the hall" by the boys. Men Ul black uniform feU [rom the roofs, emerged from the crowd and exploded through entrances to the background sounds of Ml 2 and fireworks galore. This went down with the audience as a big hit and will be remembered for years to come. TIle rest of the evening went down very well with dances by the "Bad Boys" and from Herschel and Springfield. The bands were once more welcomed by the crowd and this wa" the last year in which the great band Koosh would grace us with Oleir presencc. TIle skits OllS year provided many laughs and were defmitc1y the most anticipated parts of the evening. Hayden Smith's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and Graeme Walkins and his team in "Theatre Sports" were a defiIllte highlight. The boys in theatre sports must have a special mention because they had no preparation for the event whatsoever. They were brought up on stage and given topics and characters and skits by the audience and had to ad lib. They pulled it ofT with absolute professionalism and it has been said that it was the highlight of the evening. The performers were Graeme Walkins, Hayden Smith, Daryn Liddie and Donovan Pretorius (who will be leaving us next

THE GRADE tt GAHP On Wednesday afternoon 13th October 2000 a group of boys left Wynberg Boys' lLigh School and taak the hour-long trip by bus to Elgin. 1llis year's Grade II camp was held at Mizpah Youth Camp ite. When the buses arrived the guys started playing touch rugby. Some started to move into the dorms. Before supper, the groups were given an activity to do. Each group was given a topic on which they would have to base a play. 1\11the skils were very entertaining and Pierre Hare's impersonation of Mr Buchanan had everyone in stitches. Later on in the evening the groups left the campsite on an orienteering experience, and what an experience it was! With the thought of snakes, leopards and baboons crawling in the reeds with us, we set ofT. The actual aim was to find several beacons and at the last beacon set up camp, using only a torch and compass. Some groups gave up and returned to camp, others fought through the night and found the beacons. The teachers did not escape the event and Mr Buchanan found himself falling over fences and sleeping in the reeds with all the snakes. 1\11in alL the experience WIll live on in our memories for a long time. The next day we had a talk from Mr Buchanan, preparing us for matric in geneml. Then came the abseiling. The 30-minute walk to the dam wall was well worth the trek. Once there, the guys got into harnesses and started their 3S metre descent to the river below. Some, Mr Richardson for one, found this too daring and chickened out. Others baltled their fears and all enjoyed it. Then came the reason for the camp: Mr Revington's talk/workshop. lien: the guys were given situations that could arise in their matrlc year. The answers were of a very responsible standard and the boys approached the evening in a mature manner which left Mr Richardson's mouth open. I hope th~t what was said that night does not fall into the darkness but gets applied next year. rf it does,

Wynberg

then our matric year will truly be something special. Then came the most ~'Pirit-building exercise of the camp: the annual Grade II water fight. Everyone was soaked, including several teachers, and many were thrown into the pool. But aller two hours the boys lacked the stamina to continue and the brawl ended as quickly as it started. Ln a matter of minutes, they were all in bed. But the teachers had other ideas. lbe battlefield was a complete disaster area and the called everybody out of bed just to let them know thal they would be cleaning up the place in the morning al 06hOO. The nc t morning moans and groans filled the air a~ everybody cleaned their donns and picked up litter, split balloons and broken bins. After that we had breakfast and a serious chat with Mr Richardson. In thc hour of talking we learnt about the five l's. Most importanUy, Inlegrity. If we as matrics can get the rest of the school lo buy into that word, UIen the school will never need la be disciplined. Several grievances and questions were put forward to Mr Richardson, and these were answered very truthfully and e 'plained to us. By now it was almost lime to go, but first Ulere was a prize-giving ceremony where Dludla received the award for having the most camp spirit, Gary Fox received the award for most enthusiastic camper, and Mr Richardson received the 'Female of the Camp' award, reasons being not abseiling, not camping in Ule veld and only jumping ofT the roeks due to peer pressure. Overall, the camp was a great success and 1 hope it serves as a foundation to build upon. To Or Flip van Staden, Mr Taylor and all the boys who helped, especially Ule camp conul1ittee, ajob well done l11e motto 'Leadership Through Service' was decided upon. If we continue with the spirit and maturity shown on the camp I foresee a great year with many achievements.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMME From Scotland ..... David Sweetman

Arnvmg at the sUlrt of the fourth tenn, I managed to find myself sUlrting school the dayaller Scotland lo t to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup, which prompted Mr Richardson into introducing me as "Mr Sweelman [ram Scotland let's not mention the rugby", which led to non-stop teasing lmlil South Africa beat England, when they forgot about me and tumed their attention to demoralising the English stooge. I lighlights of my year at Wynberg have included such trips as the staff goIacards tour at Christmas, the staff team buildmg at the Brccde River, including cUl unforgettable day's canoeing with Miles, Mr Moolman and Mr Inglis, the squash tour to Bloemfontein and the Silverhurst weekend at the beach. OLhl.'T Wynberg memories have included m Ul4E cricket side and the UI6B hockey side almost managing to win all of their matches; trying to coach watl.'Tpolo for the firsL time: the staffroom sports Wynberg

discussions with Mr Lefson and his views on Scottish referees and, of course, the stalT show featuring the original schoolmasters' "Full Monty". There is never a boring day as a stooge, with tasks varying [ram supervIsion of classes to bounc1l1g the school discos and bar work., La biz.arre jobs such as walking round the fields with a duck trying to find its parents, and walkmg down Main Road WIth 30 pigs hearts. Other enjoyable moments of my year out have included enjoying a South African Christmas, seeing all the sights of Cape Town and playing hockey for Fish Iloek and scoring a goal in Grand Challenge. The overland Lour I did with the other stooges over the winter holiday, seeing many of Africa's wild animals and the beauty of Namibia and Victona Falls, was another highlight. I have many people to thank for making this year possible and so enjoyable. My host family, the Pearsans, for their constant help and being a home away from home: Mr Richardson for starting the gap year programme; my Bosses through the year, Mr Knowies and Mr Pretorius. All the members of staff in the hostels, the secretaries for their help and understanding, and Sue Crone and the tuckshop mums. I wish Marc Davids and the other matrics well for their gap car and state to the other boys in school that a gap year is il wonderful \wy to meel ncw people, ex-pericnce a completel difTerent country, culture and climate, and gain some independence [ram our parents and a chance just too good to turn down.

From Tasmania

Alex Burbury Also at Wynberg-from Sam Moore. and from Miles Eckford

England.

New Zealand.

Tllne has flown b as fast as the Malaysian 747 that camed me to these shores on 8th January 2000. Il was a long way to come for a farm bo from Jericho, Tasrnama, J\ustralia, to stay for a year. Life at home is much the same as It is here, which IS good in a way, hut it IS even better that South J\frica has so many difTerent cultures. Eating gigantic steaks with J\frikaners, drinking some of that fine Castle Lager, traditional Zulu tribal dancing in Durban, and the sounds of "Wynberg! W)'l1bergl" as a taxi screams along the Main Road at 160 k's are images etch cd into my mind. llJghlights of the year include a fishing trip to Witsand, the curry houses of Durban, and a threeweek long overland trip through outhcrn J\frica which has become a tradition with stooges. This was an unforgettable experience. Seeing the Aussie cncketers win at Ne\ lands was an awesome experience, too. Despite having hanged kangaroos dangled in my face, and even my camera near I stolen out of my hand, it really didn'l matter, because it provided me moments of patriotism-something you can't feel to the same

level when you're at home. Winrung the tri-natJons probably wasn't as big a thrill to me as it would be to most people because before I arrived I wouldn't have known the difTerence between a ruck and a twenty-two dropout. In fact, I still don't know I J\lso coaching both rugby and cricket was a rewarding eX'J)erience. To apply knowledge onto kids who want to learn and improve their game makes it wortllwhile and extremely satisfying, and I have had the pleasure of coaching some very enthusIastic youngsters. This has been the best year of my life by a long way and I regularly think of how luck I am to have gained an opportwlit like this. I would hke to thank all of the Wynberg stalT for theIr guidance and stafTroom antJes, especIally Peter Knowies for his help and for trusting me with his car. Big, bIg thanks to Sam Moore, Sweetie, Shappers, J\li and last, but de!initel not least, Mullet for all the outof-hours fun. J\ huge thank you also to two familIes' the Fearons, who went out of their way to lIlvolve me 111 their frumly life, and Mary Anne and Paul Abbot, for adopting me when the Fearons were in J\merica. Wynberg is a school to be proud of. I am proud to be part of it, and it \\;11 always be a part of me Thrulks, everybody!

The Wynberg student is given a flat to share with exchange students from I\.menca and Australia, as well as being given the responsibility of working in all aspects of school life. Even with these opportunities I feel I would have attained no sense of achievement or well-being had I not made friends and felt sociaUy happy. TIle chance Wynberg gave me '"as posting me to a place where people wan led to help and want to be friendly-and what a difTerence this made Life outSide the school was exc!tU1g in every sense.

It is great lo learn tl131if you want lo gel out in the \\orld and do

something il is possible, bul you have to make il happen. Walching Manchester United play in all their glory at Old Trafford, pinching myself as I watched Andre Agassi grace tbe centre court at Wimbledon, and the humbling feeling of ,\-alking tllTough tile majeslic highlands of Scotland, are wlforgeltable memories. Someone told me before I began my year abroad tilat by delaying my tertiary studies I would stand hundreds of thousands of rands behind in fulure years of lo t salarles and income.

A Year in Cheltenham, England

Kieran Burke My year in Cheltenham began cold, wel and [riendly. The weatiler aside, I don't think I could have received a warmer welcome. Duties began almost on arrival and I was on my feet in no time. I had a great time being on duty in Newick House. The tasks were pretty much old-hat, thanks to my time in Littiewood. TIle friendly and homely atmosphere of tile house made it easy getting acquainted \.,,;th tile boys. r spent my year witil anotiler Soutil African gap student and togetiler we took on the Cheltenham night-life. 1 like to think we beat it, but having to face up to bank receipts settled that onc. While we lost a lot of our hard-earned pennies to the courge that is tile English ale, we had a marvellous time. In the ,"';nter term, which they call tile spring term (a little joke oftileirs), r coached tile Under ISC hockey side. The 'Mighty Ducks' won more games

tilan tiley lost and tactics such as dropping tile shoulder when tackling, 'the flying V' and m' impartial UlTIpiring had nothing to do witil tileir results. In tile summer term I coached a rowing squad who did very well in their final regatta. During the summer break I managed a trip to Malawi. I was then fortunate enough to go on an aU expenses paid school trip to Romania. We built an adventure playground at a school for orphaned and handicapped children. In my final teml (auhlmn lerm) I coached the rugby Under 14A and B sides and tile Under 9A's al tile junior school. Il was fantastic being on tile other side of tile whistle, and I found il rewarding seeing the drills practised dwing tile week come into play during matches on Saturdays. Apart from being kepI bus coaching SwilllTlling, waterpolo, rugby, hockey, athletics and rowing, I made many friends among tile college staff. I grew lo become proud of Cheltenham and found it hard to say goodbye at the year's end.

A most welcome development was the Learner Council initiative of a rame which raised near I RI 000 for school funds. Ellen drummed home the point at prize gIving that no-one ever gets anything for nothing and we all have to contribute.

seker besig om ten goede te verander. Nuwighede wat ons hierdie jaar aangepak het, is byvoorbeeld die gebruik van e-pos in die skryfwerkperiodes, musiek (Koos Kombuis is 'n gunsteling), en ons eie weergawe van Kniediep, waartydens die leerders hul eie 'hofsittings' gehou het. Daar is veral in die Graad Il klas 'n hele paar potensiele regsgeleerdes (te oordeel aan hulle gladde monde!). Projekte wat aangepak is, met behulp van die Internet, was o.m. besoedeling, troeteldiere, en die geskiedenis van ons skool-met die klem op tradisies---en die Graad 11klas het in groepe hul eie koerant 'gepubliseer'. Ons twee uitstappies was uiters geslaagd. Aan die begin van die jaar het ons saam met die Herschelmeisies 'n opvoering deur die Matiestudente in Stellenbosch bygewoon, en gedurende Aprilmaand het ons die Afrikaanse Taalmonument en Taalmuseum in die Paarl besoek. Van die leerders het die Taalbondeksamen geskryf. Ons sien daarna uit om Afrikaans Eerste Taal nog meer dinamies en op\\~ndend te maak.

BIBLE EDUCATION Subject Head: MrW Creed Once again this year the spiritual needs of the Grade 8's and 9's were attended to by enthusiastic tc!uns of young men and women (rom local churches. These youth workers, some from the UK, have given themselves to a gap year of church service, a significant part of which is within schools. One or two classe were deprived of such visitations as, for example, on Mondays when the youth teaJns were not available. TIle lessons this year were based on the world famous Alpha course, which was launched from a London church a few years ago and has changed lives throughout the world ever since. It attempts to provide Biblical answers to modem questions about aU issues of life and it demonstrates that the Bible is still the most relevant book in the world todayeven for our outh. This fact was demonstrated most palpably among the Grade 8 group this ear. It 1 with tremendous sadness, therefore, that we have to report timt not only was the rest of the school denied spiritual input of this calibre, but that next year there \~ll be no weekly lessons of this nature at all for anyone. Bible Education or Scripture or RI \~ll go the way of the Lord's Prayer in assemblies. We may discover just about as Wynberc

rapidly as the American schools have that "the stone that the builders rejected has indecd become the most important stone-the capstone". But then, who is Wynberg Boys' High to try to stem the tide of secular humanism in our land? From 2001 Bible Education will have to be done by the witness of such groups as the Christian Union and whatever programme they come up with. The school is required to offer a course called LifeskilIs to the Grade 8's as of ne,,1 year and there may well be one or two lessons \~thin the programme which could address the things of God.

BIOLOGY Subject Head: MrG Taylor

Staff: Messrs J Buchanan, W Creed and A Cross At the time of writing this report, the 2000 matric results are not yet oul. As a department, wc were certainl encouraged by last year's record number of A's--13 in all, and although this year's group has not been as academically strong as last year's, we nevertheless expect to sec the trend continue. The Biolog Department remains committed to the goal of expanding, and improving on, the practical work components in all grades. Man of these activities are designed to develop specific skills which we feel are important in the long term development of our pupils. Activitie this year have included model-building, Powerpoint (computer-based) presentations, current affairs portfolios, Internet research, home water audits, and collection and clas ification projects. We continue lo encourage extracumcular involvement in competitions and exhibitions. Thi year, our team of four Grade lO's were placed sixth out of 85 Cape Town schools in the Fairest Cape! Dentyne Environmental Quiz competition-the flfSt time that a new school entry had made it to the finals! Twenty bo s participated in the Curriculum 2005 Biolog Olympiad and acquitted themselves well, producing a result that was more than 10% above the national average. Next ear we expect a number of our bo s to participate in local and national Biology expos. The implementation of Outcomes Based learning in Grade 8 next year promises to be both a challenge and a source of great reward. A challenge because of the huge paradigm shill in thinking that is required to change (rom a teacher-

centred, to a learner-centred, experiential approach. The volume and frequency of practical investigallans will increase tremendously, which will impact considerably on our preparation and assessment time; a reward, because at last one should sec a much more rounded skills-based development of lhe pupil, as opposed to the rather narrow, knowledge-based development of the past. Practical activities, including a greater emphasis on group work, should provide the boys with a great deal of motivation in all subject areas. I.n other grades wc will continue to provide opportunities for bo s to involve themselves in practical work, both during class and as enrichment activities during breaks and aller school. In this connection. an individual study area for up to 20 bo s has been built adjacent to one of the Iaborataries.

BUSINESS ECONOYICS Subjccl Head: Mr M Galant Slaff: Messrs E Viljoen and PRevington With the introduction of the new limetable in 2000 il was the lime for Business Economics to be offered to all classes from Grade 8 to Grade 12. The subject is the fastest growing subject at the school with 80% of the Grade 8's doing the subject. Ne t car will sce all the Grade 8's doing Business Economics for lhe !irst time. It is obvious that most pupils opted to do the subject for the van et of skills that the can gain from it. As it was the first year of the subject as a full subject we arc very pleased with Ule results obtained in Grades 8 la II. I am confident that the matnc resulu will be as good as they were in the pa t. TIle main aim of the department is la cultivate and develop an entrepreneurial consciousness b the pupils. This aim was fulfilled \ ilh the introduction of a Market Day for the !irst time. lbis activit was highly successful and prizes were awarded la pupils who produced the best advert and best stall. [am ure tilat this ne\ activity will become all annual event and hope tilat we can improve on it next car. The second highlight of the ear was tile educational trip taken b tile Grade !I's to tile V&A Waterfront. They were shown how tile private sector, public sector and informal sector work togetiler to enrich our economy.

I am looking forward to next year, especially witil tile introduction of OBE to Grade 8 and the entrepreneurial approach to the subject. Many thanks for the support given by stalT and parents to the teachers of tilis subject.

ENGLISH Subject Head: Mr L Kruger (Senior English) MIs E Steel (Junior English) Staff: Mesdames ' Williamson, J Goodwin, Messrs T O'Reilly (Ist Term), [Walton, R Tipper and C Broster Our aim in the English Department this year has been to provide learners witil a finn foundation of competency in the \"'Titing, reading and SlX!élkJngof tile laJlguage. We have stressed the need for grammar skills and have continued la impress upon tile boys the advantages of establishing a regular habit of reading, which wc would like them to carry with them for the rest oftileir lives. The cnd of tile Ist Tenn regrettably saw the retirement of Mr Tom O'Reilly from leaching. lie had taught al Wynberg for man years and his IUlUSual and entertaining style of teaching wa much appreciated by learners and colleagues alike. MIs Sue Rogcrs took his place in tile 2nd Term and then wc welcomed two valuable newcomers to the department in tile 3rd Tenn-Mr Ray Tipper, \ ha taak over Mr O'Reilly's jUllior classes, and Mr Clyde Broster, who taught the Grade I I class. Botil these teachers have fortunatcl agrecd to stay on at Wynberg in 200 I, with Mr Broster still in a parttime capacity. Mr Ian Walton will be leaving at tile cnd of tilis year, and wc ~ ish him well and tilank him for his contribution at Wynberg. lbe matrics of 1999 did themselves proud in English witil eight distinctions, as well as a creditable numtx.,. of B's being achieved. We hope to achieve just as many A's trus ear as many learners worked hard throughout tile year and attained a high standard, especially when coming to grips \Vitil their two major etworks--O/hello and n,e Grea/ Go/shy. A group of Grade lI's enjoyed tileir mind-expanding and enriching experiences at tile English Schools Festival at Artscapc, and tilis event al\\'ays proves to be well worth anending. lbe Grade li's once again went tilrough tiletr work shadow experience and this provided tilem witil tile opportunity to learn skills such as applying for a job, observing and working at tile job and then

I !udson-Bennelt has made an excellent start to hIS teachmg career and has proven la be an asset to lhe department. Messrs Prelorius, Revmgton and Walton each picked up a Geography class and their input was much appreciated. The Geograph Department has worked well as a team this year, each member helping Ule otiler., sharing resources has meant that tile boys have received the best po sible teacher input. .

solutions, and concluded with a prize giving ceremony. The boys enjoyed it. The introduction of OBE at Grade 8 level awaits us in the year 200 I. Our department has attended seminars and workshops in preparation for this. Mathematics by its nature lends itself to the OBE way. After all, we are in the business of making pupils think and solve problems. Ad Maths is alive and well at Wynberg and beillg taught by Mr Rushby. Thirteen of our boys wrote the 2000 final Ad Maths examinations.

MA.THEMA.TICS Subject Head: Mr Y Hartley

Staff: Messrs E Lefson, M Rushby, L Moser, A Wells, B Sopam, G Robertson, G Taylor, S Hudson-Bennetl The Grade 12 results of 1999 were very pleasing and Mr E Lefson must be congratulated on the achievement of 13 A's by members of his higher grade class. The matric average percentage for both rugher and standard grade was rugher than the Wynberg region and provincial average percentage. We welcomed two new members on board this year. Mr Graham Robertson came to us [rom Rondebosch Boys' High and Mr Shaun HudsonBelUlett from Cape Town University. Both were responsible for teaching two Mathematics classes. Teaching Maths in a positive, constructive way was one of the aims of the department this year. We felt that students who battle with Mathematics ollen lack motivation and have a negative attitude towards the subject. The lack of work ethic by the Grade 8's was a point of concern. We therefore developed a tutorial ystem. Each boy was given a tutorial on a Wednesda. This had lo be completed at home, signed by a parent and returned on the Thursday. -Ine system has proven to be very effective in that it has been followed b our Grade lI's 3lld 12's for the last three years. The tulorial fonned part of their continuous assessmenL Our students wrote on average 33% more standardised tests this year. Projects have come to fonn an integral part of assessmenL Our Grade 10's and lI's completed a project on the Platonic olids 3lld the construction of a Trivial Pursuit game, respectively. A year mark of 25% towards the final mark has remained unchanged. Our top pupils acquitted themselves well in the 3lUlual UCT Maths Competition. The following were awarded Gold certificates: Martin Fischer (Grade 9), Christopher Cameron-Oow, Gregory de Stadlcr and Tai Cronje (all in Grade 10), Michael Mee (Grade 12). Of the 123 schools wruch entered the competition, our school came seventh. This year also saw the introduction of Maths Evenings. We felt that our bo s have the ability to place the school in the top three positions. The Maths Evenings were a way of preparing for this goal.

The only problem with this band is its lack of musical instruments. Many of the scorcs arc written for three or four instruments per section, and in most cases we have only one or two in each. Also, there is the lack of a bass guitar. This is an essential part of a jazz band as it provides a swing and groove to the music. All in all, I think that the jazz band has had a very successful year and I hope in the future that it \\~II grow and prosper in tenns of skill and size. I encouragc all musically talented pupils to try theIr hand at playing a saxophone or drums or guitar. It IS loads of fun.

Laboratory Assistant: Mrs S Petersen With the departure of Ms Diarule Luttig for the IT buslIless world at the end of 1999, we have been most fortunate to have obtained the services of Mr Graham Robertson from Rondebosch Boys' High. As a Science and Maths teacher with a wideranging portfolio, he ha~ immediately involved himselfdl!eply in the life of the school Mrs Samantha Petersen has largely compll!ted her traming as a computer-literate Laboratory Assistant. It is a great compliment to her efliciency and dedication that she has been able to deliver practicals and demonstrations of such a high stanck1.rd 111 a very short space of time. As in most school deparlJn(''TIL~, the Science programme is like a roller coaster Joume where the only time to catch one's breath is at the end of the year. With long syllabi in each year it is always touch-and-go to finish the work for the year. It is clear that pupils will be called on more and more to do wider individual studies at home in order to complete open-ended lessons where the teacher has provided gUIdelines to a tOpIC. Our pupil participated successfull III a number of competitions on<:red. In the extremely testing 13 500 strong National Science Olympiad, which includes Biology, Maths and General Kno\\ ledge sections, 50 of the 53 boys gained more than 50%, Robert Fischer coming top of our

entrants with 72%. In the national Mintek QUI!., our Xhosa team consisting of lierbert MaYOSI, Sakckile Gqcba and Onke Tshiki reached the finals of the Western Cape competition for Xhosaspeaking teams. In the fairly new national Junior General Sci(.,1Ce Olympiad (Grades 8 and 9), Martin Fischer (RR%), Geoffrey Mulder (75%) and Neville Krige (75%) did very well to gain a gold and two silver awards respectively, helping WBllS to sixth place overalL Grant J3.lnes excelled \~th his research project on 'Solar lleating for 1\11' at the Western Cape Science EXPO, achieving a silver medal. Pride of place goes to the Grade 10 pupils in Mr Robertson's class on their achievements in the SA Institute of Mech3.lucal Engineers Technolog. Olympiad. Of the 27 teams entered from the Western Cape, ten of these were from WBHS. Five of these tC3Jns were on lhe national list of 28 and of these five, three reached the national finals III Johannesburg. The team of Janles Slrickland, Michael van der Westhuizen and Jonath3.l1 WatkinsBaker were tile Western Cape Regional \~nners based on the regional judging but lop honours go to Tai Cronje, Richard McKerchar and Greg de Stadier, for gaining their very closely contested second place in the national finals. 1\ number of excursions were arranged at various stages throughout the year. Grade 8's visited the Telkom Exploratoriu~ and other places of interest at the Waterfront. lne Grade 9's visited Eskom's educational facilit in Bellville to learn about power distribution and enjoy the hands-on demonstrations provided.

ANTHOLOGY THE S'IALIN SYNDROME MeYille Krige Grade8 Freedom-the concept that has occupied Ute collecti ve consciousness of mankind since our emergence from the primordial soup. Interestingly enough, our most cherished and sought after ideal never seems to stay \ViUt one civilization for very long; hwnan history is contaminated with instances where democracy has been abused and authoritarianism ruthlessly established and prolonged to the bitter end. Russia serves as a perfect example of a chain of mthless oppression ... Before the Russian revolution, Tsar Nikolai n was on the throne. He was deeply wlpopular among Ule serfs, or workt:rs of Russia, as he 'grew rich off Uteir sweat and blood', and commanded Russia in her feeble perfonnance during World War I. It was Nikolai's very cmelty to the worker Utat breathed life into bolshevism, the policy Ulat would undemline his power over Russia. Anger stirred rullong Ule peasants, ruld eventuaUy, led by Vladimir Lenin, Nikolai was overthrown in a bloody massacre of Ute diamond-studded Tsar dynasty. The peasants had exchanged Uteir religion for misery and Uteir freedom for generations of iron-listed rulers yet to come. Russia's future was to be built of blood and steel. And what of Ute new regime? Indeed, Russians found bread under Lenin, but freedom? No, Russia offered herself to Marxism, and tyranny accepted. Lenin, a comparatively moderate leader, died only to make way for Jo eph Stalin, who secured his power over Russia UtJOugh shrewd lying, temporary allirulces and backstabbing. Russia would be plagued with this mass murderer for nearly half a century, an animal who modesUy massacred more human beings thrul Adolf Hitler. Stalin began the lleavy industrialisation Policy to reshape a tattered Russian industry by setting ridiculously high goals for workers to achieve. Failure to do so would result in murder or deportation of his beloved comrades to Siberia for more intensive labour. TIle 'Red Tsar' was not only an obvious enemy of Utc worker, the very comrade he was trying to save, but also to liberty and hwnruuty. Wynberg

History has many oUter exrunples of twisted oppressors who pursued ruld maintained their distorted grips on power. Adolf HiUer, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Benito Mussolini, Lothar von TroUta and our very own Hendrik Verwoerd are aU excellent exrunples of embodiments of tyranny and oppression who have brought pain, suffering and misery to their nations. Most often we embrace a new leader as a freedom lighter, conceiving visions of a social or democratic utopia ",+tere liberty and justice reign. Pre-Stalinist Russians thought Ute same.

"There's another ten hairs down the drain," J mutter under my breath. I'm stressed out. Or Smith wamed about Utis but I can handle it. Why did T decide to live in Jo'burg on purpose, just to spite them? Not them-him. I always had a stonlly relationship with my father. I never accepted one of his peace offerings. I was always too proud and no\, here I run, sitting m an uncomfortable hospital chair with two raw, reddened eyes burning into my cotton wool-filled head. I've never felt pain like Ulls before. The kind of pain that can knock you off your feet and make you snivcllike a small child.

Desperately Mike calls the dogs ofT. The mob become violent and Mike feels terror wash over him. Feverishly, he tries to get to Di, Kevin and Amanda. wading through a sea of émgry youths. IIis temper has snapped and he nays out at anything in his path. The urgency to get to his loved ones has overcome him. Within seconds he i surrounded by a mob of enraged veterans, wielding rocks, pangas, iron bars and sjamboks. Before he can do anything, he is hackled, blindfolded, beaten and stufTed into the back of a bakkie. He hears the familiar voices of neighbouring fanners in Ule distance and then right beside him. "Oh God, the bastards have gal them too!" llle smell in Ule bakkie is putrid as it is driven at high speed to where? Mike's whole body is burning, the blood from his weeping lashes is stuck to his salt-encrusted shirt. AbrupUy the bakkie stops, and the Um:c of them are bmtally kicked out onto the ground. All three are on their knees weeping like small babies, terrified and in agony, The constant chanting and frenetic bantering and the thwacky sound of the stingmg sJamboks hitting human nesh, embrace hiS thoughts. 'TIle pain inflicted from Ule beatings is incidental. Mike's last conscious vision was that of his buddy, Johnny, in front of him, shackJed, barefoot and yelling in agony.

THE LAST LESSON OF THE AFTERNOON lI&tthew Willis Grade 10 With my leather nymg cap pulled tightly over my head I looked through m goggles al the sky around me, the blazing SWl creating hazes across the honzon, the birds soaring belo\ my aircraft. Far below I saw the trees and bushes, little miniatures of the nature I had loved sinee a boy. M hands became sweaty WIth excitement as I gripped the joystIck of my biplane. I had spent many laborious clays restoring the old aircrall, which I had found for an e'\1remely cheap price out in the country Gazing around I suddenly saw a missile fly out of nowhere! A mother ship popped into vie\. I was so startled I could hardly move. Sunl!ght gleamed ofT her cockpit glass, and a long extended ann swung out. WlIAP! The ruler hit my desk with deadly accurac ,and r felt lhe \\;nd as it missed my ann by mere millimetres. I looked into the face of my 10th Grade mathematics teacher.

She looked at me patronisingly, WIth a look of triumph on her face. "A.nd if you don't show us that you understand the whole concept and method behind il, I will sho\\ you the way to your Grade Head's ofTice."

OUTCASTS M&rtiD Raobell.beimer Grade 10 When one thinks of the tenn 'outcasts' one usually thinks of people who live far away in an isolated place, in a small cabin in a d<"l1seforest in the middle of nowhere ... But when I think of the tenn 'outcasts' someone a lot closer to home comes to mind. At the moment there is a farm labourer's hut lïlled with people, mainly parasites, who live on Ule farm just across from my house. None of them rcall has any claim to live there but the fanner hasn't the heart to turn them out. Originally it was only 'Oupa Jim' and his wife who lived there. Funny, we never knew what his sumame was and always only called him 'Oupa Jim'. He had worked on Dreyersdal Fann for Ule Louw family smce 1948. Every time we came out of our front door he would be there, minding his own business, just walking laboriously to an wlk.nown destination and ready to greet us. He had been a neighbour since my parents moved into our house seventeen years ago. He was probably onc of my favourite neighbours but because of the differences in our circwnstances he was never invited into our home or into any of tile otiler of our neighbours' homes either. We tilought that it might be a bit awkward if we did. Oupa Jim became my [riend before 1 could even remember. lie alwa s called me his 'kJein basie'. I never understood why he would do tJlis, as he was an old man of about seventy-lïve, but my mom explained this to me. She said it wa,> meant as a tenn of endearment, like our calling him 'Oupa Jim' although he wa,> not related to us, except Ule tenn baas came from a past period when black people referred to whites as baas. Of course, this has aU changed, but people of his age stiIl used mis tenn. Oupa Jim gave us some of the cabbages and spinach he grew and wc gave him my dad's old suits, shoes and furniture, and drove him to tile station so that he could go to tile day hospital to get a new asthma pump. Oupa Jim died last Christmas and now only the relatives remain. I tilink Ulat maybe in a difTerent place in time I would be friendly witil his granddaughter, who is my age. But instead I refer to her as tile 'prostitute' because J think that is how she eams a living. She seems to resent my friends and me because we have so much more tilan her, and so we treat her and the rest of the bun eh as outcasts.

IS MONEY THE ROOT OF AU

EVIL?

Charl Redelinghuys Grade tt Almost everything one does in tile modem world is for mone. Money is our inspiration to work harder and to strive for success. One does not like to think of it that way but money is, in fact, our God. Over tile years it has cwmingly replaced religion. These days Capitalism=Religion. It is tile emotion of our being. It is love, fear and greed all in one. From tile moment we learn to talk we have leamed about money and this is when our lust for money starts. One can never teIJ how far the insatiable lust for money can drive a man. Since Biblical times man has been wamed about the evil power locked in money. Paul wTote: "The love of money is tile root of aU evil." Money has even been used to attempt to bribe the Holy SpiritActs 8:20. Jesus stated, "You cannot serve God and money", "It is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God", "Man is most extravagant in wickedness when he sees himself possessed of wea Itil". The hun18n spirit is epitomised by a culture of consumerism which measures success in cars and houses. Real success asks if people are worthy, not how much the are worth. Society is divided between tile 'haves' and tile 'have nats'. The 'have nots' will always try to gain wealtil and be categorised as a 'have'. This most often involves crime such as robbery. The 'haves' wiU, in turn, try to exploit the 'have nots' even further to hoard more wealth for tilemsclves. Most, if not all, crime is attributed to tile lust for money with perhaps an exception to crimes with alleged religious or political motives. According to religion, man is born witil a soul. One's soul provides a feeling or an instinct of the difTercnce between right and wrong. TIlis is tile reason why we don't just murder a person we can't stand. Money can blind this 'instinct'. The only emotion tile person can feel is tile lust and greed for money and ho\ much more comfortable his life would be ",-jth more money. I lansie Cronje is another example of the vile, comlpting power of money. Hjs love for money proved to be his downfall. We can only ask ourselves what we, as human beings, would do in a similar situation and probably nine times out of ten we would do the same. Trying to gain weallh and money has been bred into our genes. It has, in fact, become a part of our nature and is probably man's greatest weakness. So in conclusion, money, or tile love of money, is tile root of all evil. Money has in fact enslaved us all. We worship money as tile ultimate value of life

Wynberl! Boys' lIJeh chool Magazine 2000 - 66-

and believe that profil equals human development. We all share the false belief that money will result in ultimate happiness. Even in deatll, money is dignit . We go through our lives with the overall objective to make money. We go through school to become educated so that one clay we will obtain employment which will reward us with money. We hoard money so that we will be secure in old age and responsible at death. This is the tragic story of a modem day human life. If money conlinues lo dominate our lives, the hUmaJl race is heading for a very sad ending indeed.

I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Paul YaD Nimwegen Grade tt Ln the beginning God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures." So God created the greal creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing WIth which the watcr teems, according to their kinds. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the W'dter in the seas." The oceans are God's gill to man and I believe that il IS our responsibility to preserve and protect them. Our shores olTer a wide range of renewable natural resources that can and should be shared and enjoyed by fishennen, collectors and nature lovers for generations to come. Unfortunately, man has abused and neglected these privileges bestowed upon him by God. People have lost their respect for the oceans, but still expect it to provide th<!m with fish, recreatIOnal activities and natuml beauty. The biggest problem facing the oceans is pollution. It destroys marine life and therefore breaks down various ecosystems. Many types of pollution cause devastation to the sea. The most brutal, agonising and common deaths to scabirds, seals, fish and sharks are caused by plastic. fishing nels and nylon. 111ese creatures either become entangled in lhe nylon or net, or swallow the plastic. It sometimes take days for the creatures to die. Some do, however, survive, but allen lose legs or wings in the process. Oil pollution also causes large numbers of deatlls to seabirds, cspeciall penguins. Once covered in oil, the bird loses its waterproofing ability. It cannot enK'T the cold sea and therefore dies from starvation. Dumping of radioactive waste in the sea is on the increase and if UUs had to persist, it wouldn't take long for total destruction of marine li fe to ensue. Poaching and over-fishing is an increasing problem. Fishing regulations and quotas were

Wynberg

recently forwarded, but there is a lack of envirorunental officers who are needed to monitor fish catches. An even more serious problem is the exploitation of endangered fish species, such as the Patagonian tooth fish. 'rnese fish stand no chance against the commercial fishermen who use long lines baited with thousands of razor sharp hooks. Not ' only are the Patagonian tooth fish being eradicated, but scabirds swoop down to take the bait from the hooks and sulTer a terrible fate Gill net fishing is rutllless and rapes the ocean of all species indiscriminately. Man's greed for power and wealth has led oilrigs to the icy, yet fragile waters of Antarctica. The consequences of their drilling will be catastrophic, and will only bc visible in the future. If it is not stopped now there \\~1l be nothing but vast, empty and polluted expanses of water lelt Environmental groups such as Greenpeace play a vital role in guarding our marine Edens, but the caJmot do it on their own. Everyone can do thelI own bit in making a dilTerence in the preservation of our oceans. I have groWll up with the sea and have built an everlasting relationship with it. I feel its ever-changing moods and calmot even begin to imagine what life would be like without it. Witll m deep knowledge, respect, love ruld understanding of the sea, I can make a dilTerence. No, I will make a difference!

Aging could correctly be called a women'5 issue. On averagc they livc six ycars longer than men, they takc eare of older men and they outnumber men four lo one in nursing homes. It is no wonder this gender gap means tilC health, economic and social problems of the aged most aITeet women. At age 55 there i an equal nwnber of men and women. Ten ycars later, at 65, there are 23% more women than men. Inlcresting, bul wait! B the age of 85 there are five women for every two men. Yet women are till called the weaker sex. Men handle stress better than women-just ask an man. Actually, the belief that men handle stress better than women is such a conunon and popularl accepled belief many women even accept it as true But it is not true. In actual fact women handje stress belter than men do, Do you doubt that? Then look at any actuarial table on mortality rates between men and women. You will see thal in every country of tile world women live longer than men. A primary reason for men's higher mortality rates is that men succumb more frequently to stressrelated diseases.

mE PHO'l'OGRAPH ALBmt: Yich&e) Mee Grade 12 The photograph album lies closed for months on cnd, its bright red and green patterns merel another item on the shelf, slowly losing its colour to the gathering dust Every once in a whik, however, maybe 111 a de pt..,-atcl -needed spring clean, the photograph album is rediscovered and provides a nostalgic return to the emotions of the past. On the first page, a photograph of a 12-year old bovand his older friend reminds the young man how that friendship used to be-the smiles on the boys' faces arc timeless, preserved by the plastic covering. Each item of clothing inspires a host of memones The bright red harts pulled high up the waist of the smaller boy were given to him on his twelM birlhda. Those shorts were his pride and joy, and \Vere only laken ofT when he bathed, or on the rare OccasIOn when the colour had been lost by \Veeks of gnme and irrecognisable stains and his mother inSiSted that they be washed Ilow he loved hiS mother! /\ few pages further, the eyes of the man sce a photo from even longer ago--a photograph of his mother and father standing under the shade of a beautiful \\illow at midday. I lis lim mother wcars a genII..:, satisfied smile as she gazes with atTecllon at hcr fiance, who stands with an attitude of modest majesty and WiUl his ann around her waist, and she receives a warm security from him. What a pit that so many things seemed to wedge between them. Their happiness dwindled over the ears and all the pam that had grown in their hearts was like a neglected splinter, that although no longer visible from the surface, festered slo~ ly until the palll it caused no longer seemed out of place. All tillS pain \Vas disguised by bright masks with superficial smiles until the could no longer traverse the chasm between them which had been eroded away by their tears. On the same page, now twinkling with the splash of three tcars, a smile Invades the frown, and tile reminiscence of his school ears brings a laugh into the clear sparkle of his eyes. lie remembers how Thomas used to bring the class to hsterics with his practical gags on tile teacher, and he sees how all tile laces have changed \\~th time, yet underneath the faces, the people have not changed. lllomas's mischievousness remains, as does Jane's amazing inner beauty and unwavering compassion. The young man loves her for this still and a mixture of regret tilat she is no longer alive and a feeling of gratitude for their love causes him to touch delicately

her hair and her face as if she is sitting there in front of him \\ith her cheerful, understanding srrule Wltil a nuance of heartbreak lil his soul, tile man turns to tile final page of the photograph album and focuses in reminiscent entrancement on tile picture of hi old house Ilis whole famJly IS standing Ul front of the house framed by the gable ruld pillars. The brilliant colours of the spring blossoms would almost have distmcted the attention away from tile family if he had not been enthralled bv the unJt\ of the llfOUP of rclal.Jves It brought a s~nall spark of JOYinto the memories of his family which were often embroidered by threads of desprur. The frundy had never really been unified, but assisted b the photograph, the man could fabncate the memory Illto lifc--it was how he would have preferred It to have been., so he constructs a superficial nostalgia, disregarding all tile pain. I le closes the album ruld sets it back on the shelf I le retums to the unpredictable world of the present., tile memories trickling for a time through tile barn:n valleys of his mind. These memories shape hiS reactions and his attitudes, and all tile happiness which has been woven into his memories over IImc provides Ule young man with an emotional escape, a shimmer of confidence lo accompany him through tile future, wherc new memories may be conceived.

THE FLllIE WITHIN

Gareth Uellon Gradet2 Education is holding on to the oval ball for that 111stant too long to the be\\lldcrment of your unmarked back line Ulld the eternal merriment of the 130kg prop forward who now lies prostrate, over your derelict body Ris111gonce again to your frail Ii!et in detcnlllnation (some might say stupidity) education is remembering next time to pass the ball before you arc decapitated-cducatton IS lcanung from your mIstakes. The 130kg prop forward may natten you once or he may natten you ten times, but when you puss the ball with 'quick hands' and put your thoroughbred wmg away m the corner, be it on the econd or the eleventh occasion, you have been educated. Education is a process or, in the words of the Irish poet., WIlliam Butler Yeats: "Educallan is not the lillmg of a patl, but the lighting of a tire." There IS a name \\-ithin tile human heart and WIthin It arc borne the roots of two 1l1exphcably animal characteristics. The first IS detenninationthe process of struggllllg on to tind a solution. The second is education-the finding of the solulton Detcrmlllallon Ulld education arc evidenced in every aspect of Mother Nature's kingdom, none being more ob ious than the classic predator versus prey encounter. A lonc cheetah's hunt IS unsuccessful when the target IS one of man in a herd, but the contest is \\on ,h("'11 the wilv cat succeeds in separating its target from the saf~tv or its fellows.

Over the past year we have raised the standard of thc maga7ine and thus created more of an interest within both the Boys' and Girls' chools. We even managed to sell magUL.ines at the two junior schools. As editors we have encouraged spon orship from busmesscs, which has helped tremendously in IInpro II1gthe magazine.

Not only have we adopted it in daily lifc, but it has encouraged us to persevere, and provide stifT compelJtion to opposing houses in our frequent events. With the many challenges facing those at ho. tcl, life does not alwavs seem favourable. But with Mr Knel and hIs dedi'cated group of masters and Dale, \\ith his competent team of prefects, these challenges seem mlllute. Wc thank them Sincerely for this. The past year ha seen tile farewell .md introduction of many masters. Wc said goodbye to the likes of Mr Paul Revington, David weet~'lan, Mark roft, Miles Eckford and Alex Burbury, and hello to Adam Shapton, Ali lair Wright (our ncw stooge ) and Mr Chris Hookes. [am sure vou will do Just as line a job as the previous ma ters. In the Intcrhouse events LtttJewood fared rather \\ell against tough competition who had strength in numbers. We \\ere placed 4th In AthlelJcs, I~1in Ilockey and ISI 111 Cross-Country and Golf-nOL to mention our outstandmg efTorts in other events.

CRICKET With thc crickcling world being rocked b the Ilansie Cronje scandal, il is gratifying lo see thaI cricket al Wynberg continues to be pla ed in the truc spiril of the game and remains unsullied. Furlhcnnore, we have enjoyed a mosl successful year, with a winning percentage across all thc tearns of 70% and this with man of our C, D, E and F teams playing againsl 1\ tcam from other schools and clubs. We have more cricketers al WBI [' than any other school in Cape Town and, possibly, South Africa, with 18 Saturday teams and 5 midweek leams. We are proud of man fine individual perfonmUlces achievcd dunng the ear, rccogl1l110n of which has been given b Ule awarding of Ilonours, Blues, Colours, Trophics or Certificates of Merit. 'Ille real strength of Wynberg Cricket_ however, lies nolonly in our depth but also in the commitment shown and the enjoyment gained by every boy who plays Uus wonderful game. A very successful 'Astra League' was started in the 4th Tenn for the UI4 and U 15 midweek cricketers. lllere were some grcat grunes WiUl a couple of nail-biting finishes and I Crul sec this fonn of crickeI growing in the fulure. I louse matches and even lllterschool games are a possibility! In the continual baltle to keep one's facilities in good condilion and up la 21 st cenlury struldards, all Ule field" have been scarified, levelled and seeded, and should be in tiplop condition nex1 year. Anyonc who has been down at the Oval will have seen thaI a sighlscreen is being built. 'Illis should be read for the new ear and will greatly enhance the Oval, making il one of the mosl beautiful grounds in Cape Tow1l. 'There is also the possibility of our scoreboard al the Oval belllg converted to an electronIc onc. Without the help of the followlIlg, crickeI would nol happen at Wynberg, so my gratcfullhallks to: • 1\11 the leachers, "stooges" and old boys involved in coaching; • 1\11 captains of the vanaus teatns for lheir comrnilment lo the game;

• Oul ide coaches who have come in lo run 'specialist' coaching courses, generously giving up their own lime-Ian Bames, Denys Hob on, Greg Sing and Paul Phillip on; • Umpires for their impartialil , • Parents for lunches, leas, support_ lrrulsport and ju t being there when needed; • Chris Hale and his ground staff for their lireless efforts. Let all Wynberg cricketers continue to strive for excellence, continue lo love and enjo this greal game, and continue to keep Wynberg crickeI where il belongs-at the lop.

Xl CRICKET

Coach: Mr E Lefson The year was one of ups and downs but is one the learn can look back on with inullense satisfaction. The nalure of the schools Ist League is that there are no easy games-not like five to ten years ago when there was a definite hierarchy. This was the one negative aspect of the team where they could not bring the same intensity to certain garnes as the could to the traditional games. The latter half of the season provided most of the highlights. First there was the Cape choals Week in GraaIT Reinet where we won three and drew one--our best away tournarnent ever. econdly, there were nine wins in the 4th Term where the tearn produced some of the best cricket for a long time. But for me the biggest highlights were the final two games against Rondebosch (probabi the top team i.n Cape Town) and United (which has seven provincial players). Ln both cases we were chasing 240+ at aboul five an over and made iL These kinds of totals are rarely chased successfully and lo manage it in consecutive weeks is simply unheard of. There is no doubt that the team had a lot of talent and onc of tile pleasing aspects is that they did it justice ill the end. There were two other aspects thai were pleasing about the tearn. Firstly, the got better a the year progresse~ secondly they played each garne lo win. The second point is important for school teams-some think it's good to be undefeated. This thought is overrated; if you want lo Wln you must be prepared to lose. Ln clo ing, I would like to thank the following for helping make the year so enjoyable: Mrs Durm and the parents for their lunches and support; Mr KnowIes for his advice and coaching assistance; Angus bmes and Ramec-l Ismail for scoring, Chris and Ian Ilaley for the wonderful pitches; and the tcarn of 2000 for helping lo take the name of Wynberg crickel forward.

Player Pl'Oflles ( to caps +) Nic Dunn (Captain, 25 Caps, Blues) Nic developed into a line ne~ ball bo~ Ier and played a few crucial knocks under pressure. As a captam he developed as the ear went on. Could develop into a fine club cricketer. A very good season.

Duncan Frcw (Vice-Captain, 23 Caps, Honours) A great season, especially with the baL Captained the learn for lhe 1st Term. Very good slip catcher and astute crickel brain. Warren Edwards (25 Caps, Blues) Warren had a solid year, but has not reached his full potential 'With the bat. He musl learn to assert himself more at the crease and trust in his ability. Could become a top all-rounder. A very good fielder-he will captain the side next ear. Marc de Beer (25 Caps, Colours) Marc started to take big steps fonvard in the latter half of the season. Has the polential lo be lop class, both with bat and ball. Must learn to occupy the crease for longer. A very good liclder. Wonga Matshabane (25 Caps, Colours) Wonga bowled some good pc1ls but as our top spinner must be more consistent. His length variation is far too great. Could be a big force if he learns lo concentrate and work harder. Ian Haley (24 Caps, Honours) Ian had a great ear. He is one of the top keeperI batsmen in the country. I lis attitude to practice shows a maturity far be ond his years. A bright future ifhe carries on with the game. Orin Roesstorff (20 Caps, Colours) Orin has contributed with bat and ball and has a bright future ahead of him as long as he learm to play as part of a team. Gareth Elliott (19 Caps, Colours) Bowled weU at times but needs to be more consistent. Always gave 100010. A real tearn man. Will play cricket for the next twenty years. David Kelly (19 Caps, Colours) David is the most improved cricketer. Although limited, he worked hard and did a rme job scoring the most 50's. A good tearn pia er. Juljan van Heerden (12 Caps) I las improved a great deal since Cape chools Week. Must learn to pla straight. Has a genuine love for the game and is prepared lo work hard.

The Jrd Team has had a ucces ful season this year, even though the 1st Teml started 00- poorl ,with us losing the first two malches and drawing the third. The team showed their detennination to succeed b 'putting in a lot of extra work at practice, and remaining at school until aner l7h30 on man practice days. The second half of the season proved to be much more succe sful, with the loss of only one match. TIle players showed wonderful team spirit and dctennination, as was especially evident against Paarl Boys when we were in trouble at 80/8, cha ing 190, and eventually \\~nning the match by one \\~cket. The 3rd Team has aJ 0 proved to be a wonderful foundation for a fe\ players who went on to represent the 1st Team b the end of the year. Jonathan Walkins-Baker and Matthe\ Mc onkey represented the 1st Team b the end of the year and Matthew Olsen was a member of the 1st Team's touring squad during the December holida s. The team was well captained b Greg Korek. The tandard and example he set, in the field and \.\ith bal and ball, certainl rubbed ofT on his team males. A special thank ou must also go to Greg's mom, Mrs Barbara Korck, for the wa in \\1uch she cncouraged more parents to altend matches.

What a year, what a team! It has been a great year for the team as wc have only been defeated onee, b Paul Roos in the 1st Tenn. The 4th Term has been a memorable one as we were undefeated and overcame every challenge that stood in our Wdy. The success of the team was due to the boys' hard work aJld never-say-die attitude. Thanks must go to Mr Galant for his valuable coaching tips and guidance, and to the parents who alTered their services to us. Good luck, guys, for next year.

This year the U l5A team enjo cd a remarkable season. In domestic fixtures we were undefeated apart from two games. Each member had their own special input in the victories with players fruing well with bath bat and ball. The teaJn had the opportunit to take part ill the Dale College Cricket Festival in King William's Town. This enabled the boys to test their skills against some of tile best schools in the country. We maJUlged a good openi.ng victory against Jeppc High chool, but unfortunatel we went down in our next two fixtures against Kearsne.

and Border Development. The highlight of the season was the knockout final held at Newlands in the form of a day-night fix1ure. The boys raised their level of play and defeated Bishops to bring the tiUe back to Wynberg. Congratulations must go to Marc Richards for his selection to the Western Province tearn. Other players to be corn mended are D Stanton and C Ilaley for their consistent bat1ing perfomlances, and K Mooradd and M AlIie for fine bowling performances. I wish aU the players the best of luck for their future careers.

Sheldon Labuschagne must be complimented on his captaincy. He is not only a talented cricketer, bul he sel an exarnple as a leader and proved a knowledgeable captain. A big thank you to the parents who supported on Saturdays and helped witil the transport.

Captain: Sheldon Labuschagne Team: William Salomons, ShalU1 Stewart, Ashley Wells, Chris Ramba, Shawl Fabe, Daniel Wessels, Travis Effiing, Daniel Giles, Nicholas Britz, Chris Heiberg, Hylton Venter, Matthew Steme The team had a fairly successful season, playing 14 matches and winning 9 of them. 1n the six matches against local rivals SACS, Rondebosch and Bishops, the team won 4 of UIe games, losing a ganle to Rondebosch and to Bishops. This was a big improvement on their record as an U 14 side. Although the team did fairly well they oflen had lo rdy loo heavily on their bowling attack to keep them in the game, and it was in this department where the team was particularly strong. Hylton Venter and Nicholas Britz fonned a great opening attack and were weU backed up by Chris Heiberg and lhe spin of Sheldon Labuschagne. Unfortwlately UIe tearn relied too heavily on the opening pair of William Solomons and Sheldon Labuschagne to score runs. lf these two did not get the team alT to a solid start, then we would oflen struggle to make a significant total. Williarn Solomans must be congratulated on his two unbeaten 50's. He showed a great deal of detennination at the crease. There was never a dull moment with UUs team, particularly with characters such as Chris Ram ba, Ashley Wells and H Iton Verlter. The bowling actions of Trnvis Eming, Shaun Stewart, William Salomons and Mauhew Sterne will also be remembered for a long time. The group was a spirited bunch and the always seemed la enjoy their cricket. Wynbere

Looking back on the results it looks like a mediocre season but what the results do not show is the improvement by every boy through the season to a point where we overwhelmed SACS by bowling them out for 78 afler posting 158n alT 20 avers. The one aspect of crickel that let us down during the beginning and middle of tile season was poor fielding, but through hard work the tearn improved. Against WPCC there were 9 dropped catches, and in our final garne against SACS there was not one fielding error. I would like to th.ank the boys for their conunitment and hope that the enjoyed their season of U 15 cricket. All the best!

challenging affair. This season only 6 of the 15 boys who rcpn.:sentcd the /\ side originated from our junior choo!. These boys nalonly raced the task of producing consistenuy good individual cricket but also of getting to know onc ,Ulother's personal strengths and weaknesses in order lO establish some team togetherness. Taking these challenges into accounl, I would have lo say that this season was a success for our U 14/\ team A win-loss ratio is not always the Ixst way to analy c an U 14 sea on The benchmark for a successful U 14 sea on al W nberg is dctennimng whether or not these boys have developed as individuals and as a team to the e tent thaI they arc several step closer to bClng potentJal Ist X I cricketers. [n my opinion, the lj 14/\ of 2000 has reached thIS benchmark. In the bo\\ ling department the team Ilnprov..:d immensely Our spllUlers, particularly Ehrenreich and Brett-Broadley, werc the main wicket-takers In the 4th Tenn our opcn1l1g pair of Chase and BrO\\11 wcrc ouIstanding Our seam bowlers must still learn lhe importancc of bo\ ling tighll and applying pressure rather than al\ .... a s trying to bo\\ I \~icket-takiI1g deli veril.'S. In thc batting department the team fared reasonably well. TIle batting stati tics will show thai the team relied hcavil~ on three batters: Telo, Levi and Ndim'll1ds. /\ pleaslllg aspect about these three batters is that they complemcntcd each oUler e).cepuonally well. The other top order hatsmen did not producc conslstenuy good perfonnances but they did core runs on occasions \ hen the learn was in need (i.c. Halkett 48 , ctuers, Koning 48 v. United) Thc team onl oncc scored helO\ 170 \ hen balung first, ,ll1d regularly scored 20<}+. I.n the fieldl!1g department the team that filllshcd in the 4th Tenn was unrecognisablc from that of thc Ist Tenn This improvement was a dlrect result or the fielding sessions the enjo cd with Ule 1st Tcanl on Fnday af1ernoons. Mr Lefson and the Ist Team boys must take full credit for the lj 14's development in tlus area of the game. Various hIghlights of thc season includcd. • TI1Cawcsome nUl chase agall1st Ul1lted CC We \."cre 14/4 chasing 197 and won tJ1e game by 5 wickets • Scoring 320 vs Pa<trl Boys (Tela 193 *). • Losing b I wickct to Rondcbosch in the 4th Tenn.

Mr P Re,,;ngton

Player Critique Ivan Prozesky (Goalkeeper, 36) Ivan enjoyed a fairytale season. In his frrst season at LJl91\ level he conceded only 2S goals in 36 games, represented WP LJ18A and was a nontravelling reserve for the SA LJ18A team. Technicall , he is sound, with a good logging technique and very impressive reflexes. He can still improve his ability to close down a striker one-onone. Terrenee Goddard (Right half, 36) Terrence was a model of consistenc throughout the season. His intelligent approach to the game saw him develop into a top class right half. He used his pace to great advantage on the right flank and used his deceptive skill to set up many counterattacks. His combination pla with Craig Hawkins was outstanding and a defmite highlight of the season. Brandon Smith (Centre back, 36) Brandon had a very pleasing frrst year of LJ19 hockey. He worked exceptionally hard on his basic skills of hitting and slap-hitting and as a result, his distribution improved immensely as the season progressed. To become a complete centre back Brandon must stop his tendency of flying into tackles-with rus speed he can coneenlrate more on dela ing attackers. Duncan Frew (Centre back, 36) The most pleasing aspect of Duncan's season was tllat he played according to his strengths so consistentl. In particular, rus zonal defence and defensive reading of the game was at times magniflcenL Big Dunc was a tower of strength in our team and he will be missed by Wynberg hocke next season.

As coach, I have been exceptionally fortunate to 'adopt' such a wonderful group of boys in m first season at Wynberg. I must therefore thank Mr Rushby for developUlg them over the years and then allowing me to enjo their eventual success. A special thank you must also go to the school for providing such wonderful facilities and opportunities for our bo s to nurture their talent.

Tim Price (Left half, 35) Tim thoroughly deserved his award of being the most improved player of the season. Although very quiet, he practised very well and readily listened to advice. His reading of the game, both defensivel and olTensivel , improved immensely as did his composure on the ball.

Our best two players were Ryan Zick and Michael Mee, and both were justly rewarded with a few matches in the first tearn. Ryan was a natural leader and captained the side with enthusiasm. lie continued to urge them to give of their best even when things were not going their way, ruld must take some of the credit for the good tearn spirit that was developed during the season. Bretl Lrulcaster shared the goalkeeping dutie with Daniel Ramage and WilS unlucky not to play for the [rrst team at some stage during the season. Other players who need to be singled out are Jonathan Ouvill, who was consistently reliable at left half, and Charles McGregor who showed considerable Oair at link. Goal corers for the season: J Ackhurst (7), M Mee (4), M Haupt (2), K Kirsten (2), N Gate' (I), L Green (I ), A Holliday (I).

Most of the attackers and mid fielders contributed with goals, but our most prolific scorer was undoubtedly Matthew McCarthy, with Il goals.

But despite numerous losses our 4ths tackled all with fighting spirit. The team ended the season with a positive attitude afler going down to Bishops, having pla ed a fast game with definitive, admirable teamwork and much improved skills. (think they will have to nomll1ate Gideon Fortuin and Jacques Naude as the improved players, but also keep in mind the development of Lyle Petcrsen! Thanks to Paul who captained the team ,,;th a sertiveness and loyalty. Paul deserved to end hi season playing for the 3rds as he has the ability to ou. t a player or two from that team, in my opinion! Mr 13ulcher and Jim Cairns must also be thanked for their umpiring, as it gave the coach the space to \\atch the team play.

Captain: Zeno Rossouw Results: Played 25 Won 17 Lost 6 Drew 2 Goals for: 77 Goals against: 27 This year's U l6A team consisted of a number of young, talented players. The season started off with the annual Rose City Hockey Festival in Bloemfontein. 1llis is a very good leaming experience for the players and gave them the opportunit to 'gel' as a team before the start of the domestic season. A learning experience is exact! what it was, coming home with two wins wlder our belt again t Parktown and Queens, though going down to Michaelhouse, Selboume and Kimberley. The first half of the season was highly successful with the team not losing a grulle under the capable captaincy of Zeno Rossou\ who led by example and had the respect of every player. 1lle second half of the season supplied us "ith the opportunity to play for the U 16 kJlOckout title. Unfortunately we went down in the fmal to a highly spirited Pinelrulds terun but the boys must be c01111l1endedfor the standard of play up to and including the final. Congratulations must go to Dcvin Stanton, Zeno Rossouw, Michael Ellis and Shaun Rouse for their selection to the WP U 16 sides. Also to be congratulated are Adrian Jennings and Kevin JefTrey for their 25 and 18 goals respectivcl . To all the boys, 1 wish you all the very best for the years of hockey which lie ahead of you. There is plenty of talent within the team and I run sure that with hard work you will rcap the rewards of greater achievements. Finally, a big Ulrulk you to Mr Coombe who gave of his own time to manage the leam for the Bloemfontein tour and throughout the season. The boys have learnt a grcat deal from his eX'J)l.'lience and I thank him for his contribution. Also, thanks to all those parents who supported the team and helped in the tuck shop.

18t XV and 2nd XV RUGBY Coaches: Mr P van Schalkwyk and Mr P J Kriel The Ist and 2nd Teams \Vere coached as a squad and treated in the same wa The practices were highly structured and disciplined, with a high intensity and with the emphasis on improving basic skills. Wc were very fortwlate this year to have had Mr Chris van Loggerenberg assisting the squad with their preseason training. The squad surely benefited a lot from his knowledge of specialised charmel drills. The 2000 season was once again most rewarding in that a tremendous spirit prevailed runongst this group of players-they approached all challenges with keenness ruld determination, setting themselves high expectations. It is a pleasure to coach players who give of their best at all timcs--and both teams v ere a credit to their school. The captains did a very fine job in leading their men and well done to Marc Davids ruld Bradley /\shton Ist XV and 2nd XV captains, respeclively. A most smcCTC thank you to the I t and 2nd Team parents for their loyal support. The rugb_ parents committee led by Spiros Kyriaco and very ably assisted by Arthur Wheat, did a !.inejob steering the fundraising committee through various successful projects. Their enthusiastic upport is very much appreciated.

tstXVRUGBY The season started ofT in Port Elizabeth with the MTN Grey Festival. Our first match against DHS was stopped just before half time for 25 minutes because of thunder and lightning. Wynberg dominated UIe entire match but could not score an points. DI IS capitalised on Wynberg's mIstakes ruld eventually won this match 10-0. In the second match Wynberg lost to a spirited Brruldwag side 316. In the last match Wynberg showed a lot of character by beati.ng lloërskool Monument 22-12, eil Wilson scoring two excellent tries. With the start of the domestic season, Wynberg played an excellent game of rugby under floodlights against Strand lligh. I land-to-hruld passing between UIe fOf\vards and the backs and setling up channels was a pleasure to watch. Wynberg beat Strand 25-3 III a howlLng south-easter. II. great grune wa<; the victor against Paul Roos (11-10), a match where 15 men played outstanding disciplined rugby. lne highlight of this match was surely the defence of the Wynberg side, especially Warren Edwards who defended the flyhalf channel extremely well and Gary Cox's try-saving tackle. III the televised match against SACS, Wynberg defended their try line for at least 20 minules in the second half, beating SACS 19-0. The victory of 1512 against Bishops was a very even malch Ulat could have gone either way. but the day was saved by a drop goal from Warren Edwards. III the lasl match before the JlUle holidays Wynberg beat MUlr College 43-7.

The problem, as suflcrcd b man of Wynberg's lower ides, was once again the high Injury count, the result bemg a continuous change in playing personnel and a lack of continuit . lne season started ofT positively as they began \ ith two good wins over Strand and Drostdyand a narrow 9-15 loss to Paarl Gym. lnis was followed by what must have been olie of the best performance of the season. Away lo Paul Roos the team did everything right and pla ed out of their kins for 50 minutes, being full value for their 21-13 lead. Unfortunately the ran out of steam in the last ten minutes and losl the game through a last minute try 21-27. However, they did not let lhis liule setback get them down and produced another exceptional performance to trounce Boland Agricultural 27-13. It was at lhis stage of the season that injuries struek the side and afier a three point loss to Bishops the had lost all confidence. Even though they secured a hard-fought victory over Rondebosch in the dying seconds, the side was in a 'lump that the struggled to get out of for the rest of the season. Afier this we suffered a number of heavy losses to Paarl Bo s', Oakdale and the superb Gre 3rd side as well as close losses to ACS and Bishops. The ldc then made a conscious effort to turn the season around and end it on a high, First came a solid displa against a Southern Suburbs XV that resulted in a 26-0 victory, Then they defeated Rondebosch 17-8 in another gutsy displa of rugb and fmally secured a hard-fought and memorable draw against the highly raled SACS 3rd XV.

The 5th XV characterised what Wynberg rugby is all about. Dctennined to win every encounter, they played in true companionship and their morale and spirit brought them across the line for many classic tries against qualit opposition. With a Wallabystyle ganle plan, Wesley van Biljon's hat tricks of tries, a front row consisting of Kajie, Smith and Tavemer, and a lethal backline, we proved too strong for Grey High School (50-0) and our three rival schools whom we disposed of easily in the 3rd Term. The side was extremely well led by Stuart Lawson and Donovan Pretorius ably supported him. Thanks must go to Steven Glaum for rus guidance and motivation. These boys were an absolute pleasure to coach as their good humoured, focused approach to rugb always carried through into ,aturday's matches. Well done!

The year 2000 will not be remembered for a success on the scoreboard for the 6ths but ",rill certainly be remembered as a spirited season full of hard tackles, emphasising pride in Wynberg and, more importantly, enjoyment in pia ing the game. The side joined the 5th Team every Tuesday and Thursday and consisted mostly of Grade II bo s who showed the kind of leadersrup on and ofT the field that will hold the 5ths and hopefully other teams rugher up in good stead for the years ahead. I Lighlights included a 10-5 win over Drostdy, two thumping wins over rivals Bishops and Rondebosch, and a nail-biting 15-13 victory over Gre . our brothers from Port Elizabeth. And who will ever forget that scorching try by Sameem EfTendi in tile SACS match!

Their record does not reOect their ability owing to the fact that the tcaJ11S went through a period of injuries, espcciall 31nong the backs. Yet never was there a match where we didn't pIa to the bitter end. The practices were intense and full of excellent tactical drills. The season started with a training camp with Mr Chris van Loggerenberg, the Springbok technical advisor, who put us in good stead for the comll1g season. Our hard work and determined efTarts bore fruit as both teruns started the season with good \ ins away against Strand High. The rest of the season was a struggle against stronger teams, bul towards the end of the season the B's had a good \\rin over Bishops and the A team against Rondebosch. The season ended with close, hard-fought matches against SACS, which were both lost in the ding minutes. Many thanks to our coach, Mr Pretorius, who slood by us through a difficult season and ne er gave up on us. Additional thanks must go lo Mr Edwards, Mr Brown and Mr Cook for tIleir hard work and expertise. Also lo the parents who provided transport 31ld faithful support.

One can benefit Ll1ormously by just going on court alone. There is a need to recognise the importance of representing a team, for so many sce squa<;h ,L<;an indivIdualistIc sport-not SOl The year was again a busy time. Starting in February the 1st Team particIpated m the annual St Andn:w's Festival in Blocmfontelll. Wc played ~alllst St Andrew's School (0-5), St Alban's (5-0), St J\.ndrew·s Invitation (4-1), King Edward School (3-2), Glenwood (0-5) and Queen's College (3-2). Once again, we succeeded in winning the local Top Schools Tournament, beating our old foe Parel Vallei in the final, 3-2. Thjs result was made memorable with Ian llaley's fine win, being match point do\\'T1and needing to win, he turned a hopeless situatIOn into a remarkable win! We then took part in the annual National Top Schools Tournament, where we finished fifth out of the eight teams. We pla ed agalllst Glcnwood (2-3), Kempton Park (4-1 ), Pretona Boys' IIjgh School (1-4), Queen's College (4-1) and St Stithian's (4-1 ). During the year we also hosted two touring sides-Grey lligh school (3-2) and Falcon College, limbabwe (6"{). Representing the I st Team at number I, as captain of squash, was Dean Schweizer. lJcan has made an cnonnous contribution to squash at the sehool, both on and ofr the court. A thoroughly well-organised young man, he has worked hard at hIS game over the ears developing a strong detennmatlon and will to win. His game was polished and he produced some fine results. At number 2 was Jonathan Thomson. Jonathan had some memorable matches (notably Top Schools!). Competing at this level he was probably guilty of too many cftlcial errors and he struggled with his fitness. NevertJleless, a fine competitor with great talenL At number 3, lan Ilaley was undoubtedly the backbone of the team. Naturally fit, and with a superb range of squash shots, lan has sho\\'T1 enonnous grit and pride. A hard worker with immense determination. Ian was unbeaten throughout the year. At nwnber 4, MIchael Lawford produced some excellenl squash, but generally his fitness was not up lO the standard required. Otlen gOll1g well up, he would become erratic as tiredness set in. Craig Hale was a solid number 5, winning most of his matches. He needs to develop a temperatment lo handle the situation when the chips are down; he is talented and has worked hard at his fitness. At number 6. haun le Roux has developed enonnously well during the year. As the Top Junior i.n the school, he would have gained valuable experience al this level-whal a pity he will be leaving us al the

end of the year. ShaWl represented South Africa al lll4 level as the number I player-a fine achievement! Atler an absence of six years, house matches were once again introduced al the school. The competition was played at both senior and jWlior level. Each side comprised three players and one game of IS was played per match. All points were then accumulated to establish the final winner. This year, Wellington House were overall winners. Squash at the sehool would not nourish without the assistance of so many. Mr Doug Foulkes has been coaching the Ist Team for eight years. As the professional coach in the Western Province, many of our bo s have benefited from his innovative coaching style and knowledge of the game. Mr Buchanan has beLl1 a willing and dedicated coach wi til the U IS squash players, and has been a tower of strength in the running of squash at this level. MTs Sleel, Mr Botha, Mr Coombe, Mrs Nortje and Mr Emslie and other stair members so \¥1llingl assisted with transport on Friday aflemoons. Finally, thanks to Mr Haley, as estate manager, and Mr Kllowles as the sports admjnistrator.

Wellington I [ouse won the Interhousc squash, way ahead of the other houses. Mr Russell has aptly pointed out that squash demands self-discipline. ln 2000 the timetable necessitated such an approach to the organisation of Junior squash, and thus a chance for the boys to show their true colours. Practices began at 13hOO for those who could make it and ran through to 16h45, Tuesdays and Thursdays. For most, squash is a second choice sport and it was gratifying to see how man continued with it right through the busy winter season. Our A side did well, convincingly beating all but their arch rivals, St George's. Though we finish(.,(] second in this league it is worth noting that our top two U 15 players, K Mooradd and C Hale ,played in the Open Division this year. ean Marriner had a disappointing second half of season by his own admission but ended on probably his highest note, and to my mind the best and most gutsy game I'd ever seen him pla, in the Final vs St George's. Kyle Nash was the regular number two, playing with a hard-hitting game that his opponents usuall fowld difIicult to match. Mark Coram improved his game tremendously over the season, probably because of the amount of time he practised and his clearly goaloriented focus. His calm, level headed approach and never-say-die attitude were valuable assets. Roberto Talotti completed the 'quartet' as a determined and give-all player. The side in a six-player match beat Grey Pt:: conVincingly 16-7.

WATERPOLO tat TEAM

Unfortunately with inadequate training facilities given the Cape Town winter it was impossible for Wynberg to prepare adequate.ly for a tournament of this nature. The toumrunent was one of ups and downs-brilliant performrulccs against the stronger schools were usually ofTset by poor displays against Rondebosch and Grey (PE). This was an wlbelievable year for Wynberg-a learning experience for all involved with both teams. Whilst not intending to dampen the achievements of 2000, it is good to know that only four players will be leaving next year and (on paper at least) a lot is expected next year. The hard working atmosphere and enthusiasm shown by everyone within this team made coaching a pleasure, and there are many highlights that ....ill always remind people of the 2000 team-none so much as Wesie 's Oath, or the Vides' Haka, or Mr chenck's Meatloaftape.

Coach:

Mr R Castle Manager: Mr 0 chenck

Players: N llavers (Captain), W Scott, S Forrest, J Kriedemann, J van Winkel, R Hogarty, A Avis, S Martin, M Jones, B Pearson, C Kirk, J Halliday /\.nother season in the SWl has come and gone and what a roller-coaster it has been. The high expectations I had were realistic, and it was somewhat disappointing finishing the season playing such wlStructured polo. If onl the team could have carried over the great structure, enthusiasm and motivation [rom the 1st Tcnn into the 4th Tenn. On paper this team was arguabl one of the best in the COWltry. T lowever, it was in the pool that the necessary concentration and discipline were lacking. There were some unbelievable passages of play this season that justify this feeling. A lack of initiative up front became apparent in the later stages of the year that bore ominously on a lack of fitness or dedication, and it beeame frustrating coaching a team that did not carry through what was accomplished at practice into the matches. The team started ofT against SACS and showed that ....ith a bit of work the could compete against anybody in the country. And then it was ofT to East London to compete in the Vides Waterpolo tournament held by Selborne College. The team played attractive and outstanding polo to qualif for the semi-finals. Unfortunately we came up against a strong St Stithian's team and lost 1-4. The great performances of the tournament helped tremendously in the motivation ruld build up for the Mazintcr Cup. Unfortunately we were knocked out in the scmi-fUlals by Bishops-a team we had comprehensivcl beaten three days prior. During the 3rd Term many of the team played Winter League ruld SW'dm in preparation for the SAC tournament in the September holida s.

Wynberr:

Player Critique Scott Forrest Scott served tltis team to the best of his abilities. He needs to forget about the ones that get through and concentrate on the next shot As a goalkeeper he needs to work on getting more involved in marshalling the defence. Big things are expected next year. Best game: vs Grey (PE) 6-6 and St John's 2-1 Ryan Hogarty (WP UI6A, SA U16A) Ryan played an important part in tile terun. One of the most skilful players in the province. Needs to work on making more of an impact in the gameswhetller it is in tile hole or on the fetch. His driving was never full realised to tile best of his abilities. Best game: vs St John's 2-1

Nicholas Haven (Captain)

....,tIl

A strong and reliable captain a very good shot Need.ed to concentrate on getting open for an outside shot. Nick needs to lcam to organise tile ofTence more. On a good day he is one of tlle best players in the prOViJlce ruld ....,ll be greatly missed next ear. Best game: vs Grey (Bloemfontein) 5-4

Jarcd Kticdemann Jared's drives weren't utilised proper!y this year as he struggled to adjust to a relallvely inexperienced team. Jured is a very versatile player who needs to take more inillative on offence. Jared will form lhe backbone of a strong squad ne :l year. Best game: vs Ore (PE) 6-6 Justin van Winkel Justin is one of the strongest players around and very useful up front. Wlulst he does not enjoy playing in the hole, he formed a powerful partnership \\'lth We 'le cott. Justin is dangerous with the ball in hand, and needs lo work on getling open more in order to stick lt in the nel Best game: vs I\CS 7-10 Jared Halliday The hardest working per on in the I t Team. His quickness was not utilised proper! and he needs la anllclpah: more in order to take advantage of the counterattack. No longer the small guy, Jared must get more involved up front-whether it be on the lell or on the right.

Besl game: vs Wester ford 5-7 Wesley Scott 1\ fit Wesie would definitely be the scariest pia 'er In the country. Possessing sublime skills at the best of times, his filt1ess ho\.vever would onen cosl the team a goal at the worslof limes.

ThIs year proved to be another successful year for the 2nd Team. This was a very young and ll1eXlx.nenced tearn which pla ed controlled and structured polo throughout, but always managed to mamtam a light-hearted atmosphere. The team \\ent from strength to strength aller a shaky first four games. They were wlbeaten for the last eight game of the season. This remarkable group of youngsters were incredibly disciplined in the pool élJld worked hard at practice lO produce a fast tempo st\'le of play. /\. lot is e rpected of the players who will be returning next year, and tlle ycar aller Their results would not have been anything like they are if the did not work together as a uniL I believe tJlat their fnendships outside of the pool have been their greatest strengtJl in becomll1g a tcam. Special menlton must be made of cott Martin who won the Most Improved Scruor Player for the year. cott started on the Ix.--nchin the 2nds and finished in the 1st Team and WP LJ 19B team On a personal note, it i unfortunate that the lJ 19/\. and 13 squad is so young, since many \\ ill remain m the 2nds next year. Whilst It is fortunate for Wynberg, Il must not be renected agall1st these boys next year, since almost all could pia Ist Team polo at any other school. I sincerely hope that those retllmmg next year do not become despondent and continue to CllJOYtheir polo. Thanks élJldgood luck.

At the start of the second half of the season we had dIfficult in adapting to the coldness of the pool. but aller much complailllng we were back lil the swing of things. Unfortunately, aller ani) one practice we had to play SACS. We lost to them JO This only inspired us lo play harder and thus It \\as proved when we walked over West(.,-[ord 6-1 and again \ve beat them 5-3. Our wUmi.ng spree was on and for me rest of me season we were undefeated To prove tllis we played Camps Bay Ist Team and walked over them (swam over them') 6-2. At Ille cnd of me season and wIm me matrics' la t game wc played Bi hops Unfortunately we did not pia up to our standards and drew 2-2.

success rate needs to improve, especially in doubles. The A Team was led by Brent McLeod and included mainly matries with Brandon Johnson, Jonathan lnggs, Grant Base and Andrew Cleveland. The came third in the Super League during the 2nd Term and were strengthened with the inclusion of Rarnzee Edwards for the 3rd Term. They improved to challenge for top spot in the Super League and were unbeaten until one unfortunate loss when the top two players were unavailable for their toughest opposition.

Manager

and Transporter: MTs J Goodwin

Coaches: Sarn Moore (2nd Term) Ronaid Ridge (3rd Term) The future of Badminton at Wynberg was secured with the inOux of several talenled and enthusiastic Grade 8 and 9's and one Grade 10 towards the end of the season. We had a season of mixed success in the top learns, badl affected by illness, injury and unavailability of key players, while the lower teams improved from match to match. We entered LX teams and had enough reserves lo cover absent players.

PlaJt'lr Critique Brent McLeod: Captain of A Team, awarded Blues, third year in Super League, ani beaten allee in singles or doubles by another school tearn. Bnmdon Johnson: awarded Colours, third year in uper League, won 50% of singles games at number 2 and over 80% of doubles games against other schools, seldom played to his full potential this ear.

Team 1 included only Grade li's with Mathieu Coquillan, Mark Geary, Gareth Sweetman, Rarnzee Edwards and Darryn MeBain. They were unbeaten and won the Super League convincingly during the 2nd Term. The team was plagued b injury and illness during the 3rd Term and dropped to third or fourth place, but beat the other top school convincingly when at full strength.

Jonathan Inggs: awarded Colours, enthusiastic and hard working player keen to improve his game, unbeaten against other schools at number 2 or 3only beaten once at number I, doubles success \V'dS limited b a wide range of partners lo about400/o.

Player Critique

Grant Base: awarded Colours, enthusiastic parttimer playing squash and badminton, worked hard at practice to improve his garne but his success rate did not show it.

Mathicu CoquilIon: WP U l8A, Captain Team I, awarded Blues for second year, third year in Super League, ani beaten once in singles and once in doubles during league season.

Andrew Cleveland: awarded Colours, started off as a wilting reserve who played more and more as injuries and illness prevented others [ram playing, maintained a 50% success rate in singles and doubles against other schools.

Mark Geary: WP U 18B, awarded Blues, third year in league, unbeaten at number 2, lost one singles malch at number 2 and two doubles matches. Very v.;lIing to help coach juniors. Garcth Sweetman: very capable but erratic, won 60% of uper League singles and 70% of doubles, beat a WP player while playing for the 3rd Team, missed too many matches through absence and illm:ss. Ramzee Edwards: awarded Colours, unbeaten at number 3 or 4--only beaten once at number 2, won 50% of doubles, must work hard to improve his doubles game. Darryn McBain: awarded Colours, enthusiastic and keen to Improve his own game and to help juniors,

Wynbere

The 3rd Team was made up of our rapidly improving Grade 9's who worked hard to cope with all the other schools' Ist Teams. Julian Vincent, Martin Fischer, Angus Innes and Keith Nimmo developed as a unit through the season and managed 4th place (2nd Term) and 5th place (3rd Term) in the Second League, which had been strengthened for the 3rd Term by teams promoted from lower leagues. Julian and Martin challenged successfull for places in the Super League but remained in the 3rd Team as the oflen had more challenging game at the lOp of this league than at the bollom of the uper League.

The ~th Team flucluated through the season wIth Richard Coram. Craig McLeod, Ra van Breda and Rodney I [an sen being the most regular players. They achieved 4th place in the 2nd Tenn, playing in the Third League, and improved la 3rd place in the rd Tern\, playing other schools' A teruns in all cases but one. The 5tb Team included Grant Campbell, Michael Collins, teven Meihuizen and Daniel Giles-the latter two joining us later in the season and chmbmg rapIdly up the ladder. In the 3rd Tenn they Improved from bottom of the Fourth League to top of the Fifih League with an unbeaten record. The 6th Team included Clement Carr, I\.nzio Abeis, Marc Rix. Raymond Co , Cole Hallida , Rashld Dharscy, Nicholas Bowler and reserves James ewhng, Graeme Wepener and Shaun MOlr. 'nlcy were top of the Sixth League (b default) in the 2nd TI.:nn and were only beaten once in the 3rd Tenn The house matches were played at the end of the 2nd Tenn and resulted in a three-wa tie for Ilrst place bet\\een De Waal, Wellington and Van Riebeeck, with very few game points separating these teams. LittJewood, \\oith the help of two gap year players, Sam Moore and David Sweetman, beat Rhodes for fourth place. The Old Boys produced.a strong team of three ex ,A Schools players in Chris Merrington, Robbie Williams and Ronaid Ridge, who played some very challenging badminton with school pla ers on Founders Day, The school followed this up with two entertaining afternoon's play with several stalT members. Messrs Richardson, Revington, Blignaut,

Lcfson, Hudson-Bennett, Burbury, Walton, Wells and Greem ood and Mrs Goodwin had fun learning and sharing the skiIJs of badminton. Practices ran very smoothly this car, especiall with the Tuesda afternoon earl practice for the 14 Grade 8 and 9's which was capabl organised b' 'am Moore during the 2nd Tenn. Ronaid Ridge \ as able to join us on Mondays during Tc.:rm 3 and ailer some exhausting \ arm-ups, shared his skill with man pla ers. After the V 19 WP Championships, Mathieu Coquillan was selected for WP V 18A and Mark Geary \ as selected for WP VI8B. Julian Vincent played in the V 17 WP Championship and aller being knocked out by a top seed, played in and won the singles plate event.

The 2nd and 3rd Teams had mixed results but here the results arc secondary We hope to get young players for the future and perhaps players like English, Rix, umes and Nash could still make strides.
