The firsl half-year of 1934 has seen l11or,e changes, in lhestaff at least, than any other period during lhe life of the Maga-zine, Mr. C1cgg returned in January, looking very \VeIl andhaving enjoyed a trip round the world, to find that Mr. McGaffinhad been appointed Principal Oof lhe Union High School, Graaff-Reinet, Mr. Bruce returned after three monl'hs' sick leave loact during lhe period originally granted to Mr. McGafTin asfurlough. The permanent :1ppointment has been offered la Mr,H, G, \Vood, of the University, ancl wc shall, therefore, be

'\'elcoming him and saying good-bye to 1\[r. Bruce at the cnd ofthe term. Our w.clcomc to IV[r. H. E. Tasker is tempered byarrow at the most absolute SC\'crance there can bc, Mr. Tasker

having joined the stall' after the sudden deélth of Mr. Mathew.Mis' Kahn returned in Jal1u<lry, rcle<lsing Miss 1\Tc.\'eil, whom shehad exchanged \\"ith ror the sake of an interesting year in Eng-land. The last of our many changes occurred in J\larch, wheni\[r. \-olschcnk accepted a secondary post :Jt the Outeniqua HighSchool, George. The School Committee, in recognition of hiexcellent work at the schoo.l during the last four ycars, verygenerously released him on the last day of the terIll. Mr.\'olschenk's departure was so unexr-ected that the school hadno real opportunity of bidding hilll good-bye, or of testifying tohis popularity, hi exccllence and his Illodesty. The Magazinewould, therefore, like to assure Mr. Yolkschenk of the school'srecognition of his sen'ices and continued interest in his career.During the first week of the second term fr. F. l\Io!,tert callle tous to take charge of Standard \'1 till June, when the permanentappointment will be made.

Very appropriatcly, \I'hen \,'e renect On the personnel of thestaff a few years ago, a quotation that is insistently true of thcboys on any breaking-up day, ri 'cs to our minds;-

" l\ot in the sunshine, not in the rain,Not in the night of the stars untold,

Shall \\'e e\'er all meet ;)gain,Or be as \\·c werc in the days o[ old."

Jf wc have seemed, in remarking at length on th.e changesin tlle staff, to place the golden age of the school in Ihe past,\\ emu. t call on \\'hal' ought to be a comlllonplace to ali \I ha havelO do with schools-that, though the \I',ller in a r:\'·er is alwaysdifferent, the ri\'er remains thc sallle. \\ïth adjustmcnt to ncwpersonalities ancl methods, the lire of the school has gone on asbefore. Indeed, some of our activities have been more vigorous1han in corresponding periods of other years, and \\e have a great(Ieal to remark on.

Our cricketers h3\'e played as skilfully as any other genera-tion that 1\lr. \\"ahl h<ls instructed, ancl, during Mr. Wahl'sabsence on si k-leave, \I'ere very grateful to 1\[r. Sceales, OUI"l'ni\·.ersity student-teacher, for the interest he took in theIll.

Jn athletics our boys h<l\'e had a very successful season.An excellent meeting of our O\\'n W<IS followed by a day of raresuccess at the Inter-Schools Championship. On the defectionof S.A ..C.S., Bishops and Rondebosch, this annual competition:seemed at first to be cloomcd; but with similar schools to our own.competing, with the preponderance pre\"iously givcn to ender

Mr. J. A. MathewOn the 14th January, after taking part in a Tennis tourna-

Mr. Mathew joined the stalT in 1922, h,lI'ing had ele\'cn years'sen'ice at Maitland Public School, to "hicb he had gone as an-Olel Boy of ours. During his eleven ye,lrs "'ith us he had beenStanc!;ud \"1 master for some years before taking charge ofthe History and Geography in \"II, and, on the retirement of II-Ir.Clark, of the Matriculation Histor)" .

Durit1g all his years he was th·e Illosl e\"('n-tcmpered anel·('onsiderate of men and the pleasantest of colleagues. He was·excellent al games, a fine Soccer player, r.epresenting his Pro-vince, and a ~ine cricketer, keenly interested in the school teal1ls.but never in a partisan spirit. R;-tther \\'as he a man to whomfairness in sport was as natural as the br nth he dre\I·.

Our loss occurred six months ago; bul the memory of akindly, courteous and somewhat retiring personality will remainin the minds of those of our r-r('sent l1Iember who kne\\' him.To Mrs. Mnthe\I", their daughter nnd the [\\'0 boys "'ho ",re atschool, \\'e _hould like to offer lhis expre sion of the respect \yekit for their loved onc no\\' tnken from them.

H. E. BrielOn unday morning, 20th l\Iay, a quiet ceremony took place

in the Kirstenbosch ra\·ine of Tnble l'vlountain.. At the sugge:-tion of his parents a lllat'ble tablet, set in the rock by the 'YynbergScouts, was ulweiled on that clay in " beautiful memory of HoraceEdgar Briel."

\ Vc do not wish to labour the sadness of h is death a yearago. Rath.er do we share in the serenity that \I'e read into hisparents' lo\,ing act, understanding the pride that they c;m no\\',reconciled to their loss, feel in thus honouring his memory, anelrejoicing with them that throughout the years he \\ ill not beforgotten.

School Improvements

To th Editor,The Magazine,

Dear Sir,I have long thought that Our school needs gah'anising into

action, and am writing this letter to suggest a few reforms.Most decidedly, the school needs a s\,'imming-bath. At

lunch-time, instead of playing bas·eball, \\ e oughl to ha\'e a swim.If a lesson is dry, all \'oU need do is to ha\"e a bathe until thelesson is o\·er. -

The abolition of prefects would be the next step in the histo:-)"of our school. 'Vithout prefects onc could live without beinginterfered "'ilh, every moment of onc's existence,

Prep. is il nightmare. After \l'e ha\'e decided that \l'e havefinished, we should be allowed to go. Jf l'ncle K- wants moreprep., nobody will stop him from spending the night in the prep.room.

StilT collars are the most unholy obstacles that e,'er came o'u.tof the C;"rden of Eden. Their abolition is desired by seniorand junior boarders. At meals \"e ought to have a /IIellll a yarellong, \,'ith cvery kind of dish conceivable. Each boy should beattended to by a wait·er in il stilT shirt, black suit and high boot<;.\Ve ought to ha\-e Our menls in armchairs anel at separate table".

\'oluntary risino- is essential. Our bCéluty- l.cep is the mostimportant necessity of life, "'ithout it nobody can achic\'e 100/0in the exams.'

We should ha,-e holidays "'hen we please. Registel-s are anintolerable infli tion On schoolboys. 'vVhen our home\\'ork isun atisfactory, \"e should not need to show it to the teachers.

Last and not least, it is about time wc baele fare\\'ell to thecane. Its clay is O\'er, and ,,-e ought to let all canes rest inpeace after many centuries of hard \\-ork.

Geysers In New Zealand

-rher-e arc only three countries in the \\'orlel \"hi h hilvegeysers. Thr most important ilre Japan anel I\e\\- Zealand, bulthere is il la rge one inAmerica.

A gcyser is il boiling spring from which muel or \Vater isejected, Ceysers arc caused by volcanic eruptions under theearth, brought about by the working of different minerals whichdo not agree with onc another. They boil the \\'ater or mud

and shoot it into the air. The size of th·c geyser depends on thedegree or volcanic disturbancc undcr the earth.

To pay your first visit to some of thesc geysers without aguidc is "cry dangerous. The guides havc them timed and knowjust how long it will be beforc they shoot.

From;] high place you can look down into the crater ofsome mud geysers. These mud geysers generally blow the mudinto dilTerent shapes, such as lilies, roses and frogs. A certainwhite geyser shoots mud into the air which will come down intoth·e crater in the shape of a lily-petal. Then the stamen will beblown into the centre of the lily. The water geysers also takeshapes ;lS Lhey blow olT, such as the" Prince of \\'ales Feathers."Ther.e is a gey er called" The .lumping Rock." In the crater ofthis one is a large rock about the size of Standard 7A class-room.If you \\'ere visiting this geyser, you would see this great rockjump up and down three times before it shoots a large volumeof water high into the sky.

Around the geysers the stones and rock have all changedinto beautiful colours, such as reel and )'ellow. This i causedby the constant nction of different minerals on these rocks. Theypresent a beautiful and \\'onderful sight to the eye of the "isto!",and it would be nc)\·isabJ.e, if you e"er ha\'e an opportunity ofsecing these O'eysers, LO take it.

Hout Bay

Tucked away on the \\'estern seaboard of the Peninsula, alongthe great Marine Dri"e, you will discover Hout Bay, and youwill wonder at its setting in the loveliness of rugged mountainsand blue sea. At nr. t sight it can be seen that Hout Bil)' is alittle fishing hamlet and harbour. So it is, but it is also onc ofthe most surprising and delightful re orts on this coast. Thereis a crescent beach of dazzling white sand <lncl, round the corner,a quiet cove, ,,-here rou may give way to the desire' to don YOLII-

bathing things and slip into the cool sea. From the oak-shacledstoep of the hotel it is but a step to the tennis courts or the greenturf of the golf course. If thnt is not your wish, follow thevalley up the winding ra-ad through the chequer-board of littlefarms ilnd thatched homesteads to Constantia Nek with its hill-siele vine)'ards.

Fishing, bathing, golf, peace nnd rest may be enjoyed to thefull in this sweet atmosphere and glorious limate.
