MR. NEVILLE BLACKBEARDTHE NEW HEADMASTER

Over seventy years have gone by since first our schooloccupied its present site and in all this time the senior schoolhas had only three headmasters. This year has been marked bythe arrival of Mr. Neville Blackbeard who came from SelborneCollege to take the helm at Wynberg and it is our pleasure tobid him a very hearty welcome.

The advent of a new headmaster is inevitably preceded bya measure of speculation and a sense of anticipation regardingtraditions to be maintained and changes to be effected.

Mr. Blackbeard arrived at the beginning of the secondterm and very soon established a good rapport with both staffand boys. Quietly spoken, friendly in manner yet possessed ofa firm sense of discipline, he has quickly evolved the patternaround which he proposes to run the school.

A tennis player of some note, he is none the less interestedin all forms of sport. He has held the rank of captain in hisschooL's cadet detachment and over a period of years has playedleading roles in numerous Gilbert and Sullivan productions.He has come to us with a reputation both as a teacher andadministrator and we look forward to many good years underhis guidance and, in her sphere, that of Mrs. Blackbeard, whosecharming presence will lend grace to the hostel.

Soon anotber batch of matriculants will be dis-gorged upon a world eagerly awaiting fresh recruitsto business, commerce, industry and the profes-sions_ The pay is attractive but the prospects, inhuman terms, may be appalling.

Today's professional or business man is thevictim of specialisation. He finds himself facedwith techniques and a body of knowledge so nar-rowly applied, and a training so demanding oftime, that he is forced to sacrifice other interestsand activities and devote himself exclusively tohis cho en work. Put baIdly and unkindly, andwith some reservations: five-figure phili tinessboulder our world and provide us with a standardof living and with amenities undreamt of a fewgenerations back. But the cost to themselves basbeen enormous and we must ask if we. too, arewjLljng to make that sacrifice. They have cutthemselves off from the world of mu ic, art andliterature and conversation with them is like talk-ing to an Eskimo who has acquired a fluent andaccent-free command of our language. Wordspass. but there i no communication - wherecommunication means a sympathy derived fromcommonly-held attitudes. ideas, prejudices, incli-nations and ideals. And when human beings ceaselo communicate with one another the stage is setfor a debacle of some ort.

Language. then, is what binds man to man, butit cannot be a language only of words. It mu t bea language of values and attitudes, and we find itchiefly in our literary past aod present. We sug-gest, therefore, that language teaching, understoodin this way, is perhaps the greatest contributionthat can be made to contemporary society.

Quite frankly. a plea i being made for matricu-lants to consider entering the teaching profession,especially on the language side. That this plea iswrongly timed in that it reaches them in their finalagony is an unfortunate necessity, but a few maybe led to consider it and wonder what sort ofperson will make a succes ful and contentedlanguage teacher.

To begin with, he will need at least some of thequalitie that allow any teacher of any subject tosurvive. Fir tand foremo t he will need thoseinseparably important qualitie of di cipline and

sound academic ability. The one without theother is barren. If he has already dissuaded hisyoung brother from carving his initials on his surf-board he need have no fear about discipline, andinterest in a subject is usually sufficient to ensurea fair degree of mastery in it.

Secondly, he should have a personality that lieswithin the wide limits of normality. He should,too, have a sense of humour to restore flagginginterest in a class and minimise awkward situ-ations. Some interest aod facility in extra-muralactivities will gain tbe goodwill and co-operationof boys. And finally he sbould have the physicaland mental strength to stand long hours of teach-ing and marking and also the irritations and frus-trations that inevitably crop up when dealing witha mixed bag of boys.

As far as language teaching itself is concerned,the test i short and simple. Does he enjoy thering of certain words aod phrases? Does he comeback at the end of the line to savour 'At theround earth's imagin'd corners'? Does he resentthe blatant and intrusive vulgarity of popularadvertising? Does he feel that the use of voguewords shows lack of discrimination? Is he anavid reader and at least an occasional playgoer?

So there you have your language teacher. Andwithin a few years he will raise hi voice as voci-ferously as the others in protest against pay, petti-fogging departmental regulations, overwork andpanel inspections. However, he stays. He doesnot follow the drift into private enterprise withit attractive offers. Why? Possibly becau e everyday of every year is fresh to him in a way it can-not be to any other teacher. Every year be u esfresh books that can accommodate changes oftaste and attitude and opinions that may developin him; moreover he is remarkably free of thatblight on the human pirit - endlessly repetitivework. But tbe real reason tbat he stays is that heis loth to give up a reward that no other employ-ment can offer: the belief that be has interestedyoung minds in the accumulated wisdom andbeauty of mankind, and bas provided a leaventhat will go on fermenting in an age that wouldnarrow us down to automata.

Thi has been a year of considerable change forthe choot. We have had a new Headma ter, anadditional vice-principal. a record turnover intafT. a new school committee and the formationof a Parent-Teachers' A ociation.

Wc :tarted the year with Mr. Thorp as acting-principal following the retirement of Mr. Bowdenat the end of 1964. When Mr. Neville Black beard.

former vice-headmaster of elborne ollege. Ea tLondon. arrived at the commencement of thesecond term. he establi hed him elf in LittlewoodHouse. We welcome Mr. and Mr. Blackbeardto the oldest chool but one in the Cape Provinceand hope that their tay will be long and happy.

Departmental revision of tafT promotion leftvacancie for a second vice-principal and two

7

chief -assistants. The former post has been filledby Mr. Lennox and the latter by Messrs. Gilmoreand Mathew. We offer our congratulations tothese deserving gentlemen.

Staff changes, sometimes sad and always dis-ruptive, have been more numerous than for manyyears. Since our last issue we have bad the retire-ment of Mr. Wheeler following a severe accident,and Mr. Gredley who for years administered theswimming batb and the sale of pies with smilingimperturbability. They leave behind them pleas-ant memories and we hope they bave long andhappy years of retirement. Both Mr. le Roux andMr. Lingenfelder, who left to enter bu iness, areremembered gratefully for tbeir enthusiasm on thesports fields. Messrs. L. Mathew, Meiring andGriesel. made only a short stay with us. Mr. Dunnpose the problem of welcoming and congratu-lating him and saying good-bye all at once. Hearrived from Zambia at the beginning of the year,married in tbe September holidays. and returns toZambia at the end of the term. Tben there is Mr.Grobler who has been with us for two years. Heis getting married at the end of the year and hasaccepted a post at Cradock. We wish him andhis fiancee every happiness.

New to the staff this year are Messr. Jordaanand Blom, both helping with Afrikaans and SocialStudies; and Mr. Noffki, an Old Boy, who hastaken over and transformed our Physical Educa-tion. Temporary additions to the staff have beenMrs. Badenhorst who looked after Mr. A. Morris'cla e while he was on furlough, Mrs. Quinn whokindly con ented to take Mr. Lennox's classeswhile he was attending a Mathematics Conferencein America. Mr. Wahl- formerly vice-principalof Sea Point B.H.S. and latterly lecturer inmathematics at U.CT. - who has been amusinghimself with some junior mathematics, and finallyMr. Ba on who has come to us for a second timewhen we were in difficulty and is taking severalocial Studies classes.Of those who will be with us again next year

we should like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Kooyon the birth of a daughter, and Messr. McMinnand Jordaan on their marriages.

Continuing with this chapter of changes, wemu t first thank the retiring chool-committee fortheir indefatigable efforts on our behalf and forall that they accomplished, before welcoming thenew committee that was elected in July. Underthe able chairmanship of Mr. Felbert the follow-ing now form the school committee: Messrs.Cawood, Friedlander, 00 thuizen, Jones, Myers

and Or. Anziska. One of their chief duties willbe to thrash out the question whether we shallremain at our present site or move to the LabiaEstate where we have already been granted addi-tional playing field.

An important innovation was made in Augustwhen a well-attended meeting of parents accepteda draft-constitution for a Parent-Teachers' Associ-ation and a steering-committee consisting of thefollowing was elected: Messrs. Katz, Barnard,Gilmour, Barnes and Mrs. Hamburger, withMessrs. Gilmore and Morris representing the staffon that committee. Over informal coffee in thequadrangle after the meeting, parents slaked theirthirst for news of their sons who, it seems, haveuntapped descriptivt: powers. In vain did mastersassume a diffident unfamiliarity with their sur-roundings. Each soon had his throng of inquirers.

Our sports and clubs and societies - the pulseof a school's health - are flourishing. During theyear we formed a Golf Club, which has beengiven recognition by the Western Province GolfExecutive and through their kind offices we bavehad the courtesy of several local courses. Badmin-ton has been introduced as a regular sport andGymnastics is now offered as an extra-curricularactivity. Our major sports. rugby and cricket, didnot quite reach vintage standard - we had threerugby Springboks in this year's tours-but weheld our own very comfortably and, far moreimportant. enhanced a reputation for hard, keen,enterprising play. Our Judo team, under the ex-pert tuition of Mr. A. Butcher, gained for thethird succes ive year the premier Western Prov-ince award, and we also won the Western Prov-ince Schools' yachting trophy.

We continue to be inundated with requests foradmission to the school and the hostel, but we arebursting at the seams with 545 scbolars and 85boarder. Numbers in the junior classes are 0

unwieldy that for the first time it was necessaryto introduce a fifth std. vn cia s.

Finally, it is with great plea ure that we are ableto report that Mr. Bowden's health ha improvedand that he i active and happy in retirement.

The pageantry of hou e-tlag and academicdre S, and the splash of colour provided by ourlady guests could not dispel an air of tension and-adne s that hung over la t year's prize-giving. forit wa~ the last occa ion on which Mr. Bo\! denwould pre 'ide and deliver his annual report.

Mr. Bruce-Gibbon opened proceedings by pay-ing tribute to the retiring headma ter for the zealand initiative he had displayed in expanding theschool. In 1947, when Mr. Bowden assumedduties. the ~chool had 240 boys and a rectangle ofunkempt playing space. Now we have 560 pupilsand not only additional fields at the old ite. buta large games area on the Labia estate.

Mr. Bowden then presented his annual report.thanking fir t of all the late Mr. Alfred Friedlan-der. who had for many year been chairman ofthe chool ommiuee. for hi invaluable contri-bution to the school: and econdly Mr. Thorp.who had on two oeca ion taken over the reinswhen he had been ill. Mr. Bowden then outlined(he two school of opinion that exi ted about theproposed removal of the school to the Labiaestate. explaining that until thi- que-tion was~etlled all plan for a new hall and library on theold site had been shelved. He then delivered hiscredo: that the numerous club and activities hehad fo tered had. a their ultimate purpose, theintroduction of boy to the a umption of r pon-~ibility. and to the idea of service to their com-munity. He concluded by thanking the UnitedBuilding ociety for establi hing a bur ary worthR 100 to enable a talented but needy boy to pro-ceed to std. X.

Mr. J. de Villiers, M.P .. for Wynberg, thenaddressed the gathering, agreeing with the insist-ence the headma ter placed on the need for devel-oping a community spirit, and ugge ted that it~hould mature into service for the good of thecountry.

Mr. Felbert, on behalf of the Old Boy' Union.thanked Mr. Bowden for the close and fruitfulrelationship that had grown up between Schooland Old Boys: and finally Mr. Thorp. the vice-principal and representing the taff. aid that Mr.Bowden had made a great impact upon the schooland that hi influence would be long-lived.

Mr. De ViIIier then pre ented the prizes.

THE END OF THE ROAD

amuel was in the prime of his life. The roadbefore him wa" straight and beautiful. a a roadhould he. At times it slumbered gently undergiant oaks. guardians. who cast their protectIveshadows 0 er it; who embraced it and formed anarch of dream through which amuel strolled.The road cro sed vast plains, but there was alwaysa solitary tree, read to shield him from the bli .tering un. There was alway a mumbling treamwith clear. cool water, which ta~ted like wine inthis picturesque and awe-in piring land. And thewine went to Samuel's head. He was in paradise.or if not there. on the road to ir.

He had ambitions and ideal and dream. whichno longer. eemed like phantoms to him. amuelhad the world firmly in his hand' and he intended

moulding It to uit him. but he had forgottenthat e ery other indi idual had the ame idea. tomould his own world. and no two idea were thesame. The many fingers. eager to shape and create.got in one another' way and not one man couldhape it entirely to his own wi hes. ot one mancould follow the road of hi dream.

amuel walked. pas ing the many ide-roadwithout as much a a glance or a thought. Hiroad. he felt ure. was the right road. But theworld around left no man Isolated. least of allamuel, the up-and·coming young man of the

future. Fate touched him gently. slowly pre. edhim to the side of the road and on to a road.which turned off harplyand led into the hill andthence. touching the horizon. into the blue of to-morrow. And amuel trolled on in a elf-a uredmanner. unaware that lhe original road la farhehind him.

13

Gradually the urroundings changed, tbe wel-come streams and tbe little pool of sbade undera solitary tree grew less frequent. After a longjourney, Samuel hesitated (or the first time_ Forthe first time suspicion, and perhaps fear, wereborn in rum_ Yet there was no turning back, re-treating hurriedly the way he had come; therewas no finding of another road, which he hadpa ed long since. Time, once used, does not comeagain. Samuel could not return into the past.The road before him lost its friendly promise.

Beneath its tarred smoothness lay impendingdanger; into its distant ribbon of the future itmight turn into a snake. Samuel was an optimisticman. however, and firmly believed, even now,that it was the right road, and he went on. Evenwhen tbe shrub had become salt bush and beentered the desert of middle age, did he bold onto bis beliefs. He could not recollect ever havingstrayed. It was impossible that he had lost hisway_

Now nature intervened. Samuel, once strongand healtby, grew tired. At times be could merelydrag his exbausted frame along. Slowly histrength disintegrated and the blistering un andlack of water corroded his optimism and hopes_until his body remained an empty shell. Yet, eventhis road must lead somewhere, he thought. Per-hap thi was merely tbe gateway to paradise.Surely the road, immediately after it crawled upthe rise ahead, entered the oa i of eternity. Withnew vigour, he followed the dusty track, but whenhe reached the top of the rise, he found suddenlythat the road went no further.

"There is a time to get and a time to lose." Butthere is also an end. a point after which there ino more. The end of the road.Samuel ank to the ground and waited for he

knew not what. He waited, and watched, andslept. and finally died.

TARMAC TRIBUTARYft i undoubtedly one of the features of modern

ociety that the rich and luxurious will rubshoulder with poverty-stricken neighbours, andour treet is certainly no exception. This river oftarmac, distinguished from its tributaries only bythe buildings along its bank, is called RegentStreet. possibly named by a council in the hopethat it would lend some elegance to tbe area. Itconsists of two distinct sections. On the ea ternside the small, neat houses painted in bright col-our eventually give way to the dark patches and

dirty surrounds of tin huts with rusty, cast ironroofs. The neat section of the street are muchlike otber areas wbere respectable working-classpeople plod tbeir weary way tbrough life, buttheir poorer neighbours are by far the more in-teresting and colourful characters.Tho e that immediately spring to mind as typi-

cal representatives of tbis carefIee class are theNaidu family. Tbey inhabit a small cast-iron hou eet well back from the road in a spacious pieceof ground, and seem to live a highly satisfactorycommunal life with eight people in two rooms. Itis generally recognised in the district, though notopenly admitted, that the third room is a bottle-store that sells anything from French Brandy tomethylated spirits, and on many occasions I haveheard it referred to as a veritable money-spinneron account of negligible overhead costs. MrsNaidu alway officiates at her "parties" as theyare termed wben the police appear, and the meresight of her gargantuan form is sufficient to quellthe heartiest reveller. The whole family, includingMr. Naidu, a mild and innocuous little man ottimid dispo ition, is ruled with a rod of iron andMrs Naidu maintains a trong centralised govern-ment.A prominent participant in tbe evening revelry

at the "pub" is Old William, affectionately knownin the district as "daardie ou dronklap". Thisback-yard patrician inhabits a mall shack on apiece of property next to the Naidu ménage andit must be assumed that the proximity of a readysupply of spirits formulated his prulosophy: thatdaylight lasts just long enough to imbibe twobottles of brandy and half a bottle of methylatedspirits. On Friday nigbt he is accustomed to en-tertaining the lively company around tbe bar-counter with songs of a distinctly colourful natureand has so often spent the night in the localpri on that a cell is kept vacant for him, contain-ing a Bible and a pamphlet produced by theLeague of the White Ro e. hi favourite readingmatter.

Old WilJiam is at this moment intoning a songin praise oC Bacchus and as I look up my eye iscaught by the familiar blue hue of the police-vanoutside Mr . Naidu' house. Once more L mustcross the line between our complacent. dull exis-tence, and the world of carefree poverty_ Mr.aidu always welcomes my presence when she is

confronted with the minion of the law as hethinks I lend a touch of respectability tbat willbrush off on to her.

DINGE WAAROOR EK NIE GRAAGPRAAT NIE

Toe ek nog jonk was, is my beste vriend deur'n bond verskeur. Van die aantal gebeurtenisse inmy lewe waaroor ek liewer nie praat nie, is hier-die geval vir my die bitterste, Dit was my kuld, ekweet dit seker, alhoewel mense my probeer troosdat ek hulpeloos teenoor die ondier was,Hoe oud wa ek toe? Miskien net tien jaar oud,

nog afhanklik en steunend op my ouers; nog bangvir die nag, nog onbesmet deur sondes van vol-was enheid. Mens praat altyd met veragting vanlafaards. Dié ongeval het bewys dat ek 'n laf-aard was.Ek en Arnold het Oom Koos gaan besoek. On-

gelukkig het ons verdwaal en in 'n dig begroei destreek beland, waar ek 'n verlate plaa werf ont-dek het. On het besluit om die inwoners te gaanvra of hulle nie dalk weet waar Oom Koos woonnie. Arnold het voor my uitge tap na die agter-deur en be keie geklop. Die deur het toe gebly,alhoewel hy 'n paar maal geklop het. et dieaanhoudende geluid van sy vuis teen rue deur betdie stilte van die Bosveld verstoor.

Ons het moedeloos omgedraai en wou net bydie hekkie uitstap, toe ek 'n venynige trippel agtermy hoor. 'n Reusagtige hond het op ons afge-storm gekom. Ek het geskree: "Pas op, Arnold!"en toe in doodsangs deur die veld weggehol metdie gegil van pyn en vrees van my makker in myore. Ek het gehardJoop, blindeling gestruikel, mybene deur doring verskeur, tot die geskree vanArnold net 'n gesuis in die wind wa .Teen sononder het ek tuis gekom en snikkend

die ongeluk aan my vader vertel. Hy het Arnoldse pa gewaarsku en my gebied om hom na dieplaa toe te neem. Huiwerig het ek ingewjlJig. Dieplaas het spokerig onder rue maan gedroom eneindelik, na baie ge oek, het hulle Arnold se lykontdek, ten min te wat daarvan oorgebly het. Mypa het my later meegedeel dat die plaas al virvier jaar onbewoon was en dat die bond, mal vanhonger, seker al net so lank daar rondgedwaalhet.

My pa het die hond geskiet, maar ek voel nielus om verder te vertel nie. Dit was my skuld!My skuld! Ëk het daarop aangedring dat onsoom Koo gaan besoek, hoewel ek nie geweet hetwaar hy woon nie; ék het soos 'n verraaier myvriend in sy benarde toe tand in die steek gelaat,ék is 'n lafaard!

.:n Lafaard!" sui rut deur my. Men e kykmy minagtend aan. Vir hoeveel jaar nou het ek

my la verduur? Ek weet elf nie meer nie."Skielik," het rue nuusblad geskryf, "het hy

opgespring en die straat waar hy woon afgebard-loop na die plaa dam. Sy pa het hom teruggeroep.maar hy het net die gesuis van die wind, enArnold se stem, geboor. Miskien wou by boetvir sy tekortkomings. Miskien het by besluit omte leer swem in die plaa dam. wat 0 stil en on-gestoord voor hom gelê het.

MY DEBTIn four month' time T hall be putting away my

chool-books for the last time and I hall be step'ping out over the barrier into life. I am told thatafter a few months of this life T hall yearn fortho e happy, and ometimes not-so-happy, yearspent at school. Perbaps this is 0; only time willtell.

As the last few months fly pa tI look backand see what I have accomplished at school andwhat school has accomplished for me. I see myselfentering chool for the first time: a shy andtimid Ijttle boy, clinging to his mother' comfort-ing hand and not wanting at all to join the othershy and timid little boys already sealed under thestern eye of the teacher.

A few years go by, and my hyne ha di-appeared. Jn its place there has grown a core oftoughne and resilience. Gone is the little boywho djdn 't want to exchange his mother's side forthe unknown terrors of that forbidding in titution,school. In his place i a bigger, tougher character;a character who doesn't want to go to bed at nightand who doe n't want to go to chool the nextmorning; not becau e he j frightened of chool,but becau e he has much better thing to do withhimself than it in a tuffy das room, under thedi approving eye of a stuffy old teacher, andattempt to fathom the intricacies of fraction anddecimals, subordinate cIau es, and the reasonwhy the Greeks fought the Trojans.

Next J ee myself entering High School forthe first time. Gone is the toughness and resilienceof my former days. Here, in thi new and muchlarger society, I am a nonentity, a dispensablecog in the well-oiled machine of education. Butafter a few months I change again. 1 becomequieter, regain my confidence and become moreelf- ufficient than r was a year before. I learnwhat ociety expects of me. T learn how to look

after myself and how to belp other people whenthey need help, but above all all I learn a senseof self-respect and a sense of honour.Yes, as I review my school career I think I can

truly say that my schooldays have been happyones. I have many memories, some bad but mostgood; memories of a society which has given mea foundation on which to starr life in a worldin which every,man is usually for rum elf. I onlypray that the foundation holds. I beueve it will.

THE END OF THE ROADMr. Tweedy stood till. A strange surge of

power swept through his short. portly form. Hefelt inner trength he had not known for years.

At last he wa re olute. othing could alterhis deci ion. He stood on the roof of the newmulti-storied building and looked over the para-pet. lt was a long way down-two hundred andforty-seven feet to be exact. Good. With diffi·culty, caused by hi' portliness. he hoi ted himselfinto a itting position on the parapet with his feetdangling into the emptincs of space beneath him.For the very first time in his life Mr. Tweedy felthim elf the upreme man. He was elated.

If only Agne could ee him now! She wouldprobably say. "Henry. come off there at once. do

16

you hear!" But now his life of oppression underthe tyrannous rule of his domineering wife wasover.

He looked up to the first stars appearing in thedusk far above the city. He smiled and said alittle prayer. lt made him feel terribly happy. Itwas the end of another day for the bustling crowdsfar below, but for Mr. Tweedy it was the end ofthe road. He looked down to the ant-like vehiclesmoving in the traffic below. Still smiling serenely,he pushed himself off into the abyss.The falling was merely a sensation, followed by

a moment of terror and agony, then Mr. Tweedy'soul sank into the blissful black nes of sleep.

When the darkness cleared. Mr. Tweedy foundhim elf in a throng of souls moving in procession,singing the song cele tial. Although he had neverbeen a singer, Mr. Tweedy joined in. He wasmoving slowly up to a huge dais whereon was athrone. It was all very beautiful. He realised hewas going to be judged. He wa at peace.

And as he stood before the throne. reviewinghis unhappy life, he heard the words: 'Come untoMe all ye that labour and are heavily laden, andr wiIl give you rest".

THE END OF THE ROAD

Utopia on Earth, tbat was what man had al-ways dreamed of. Plato had thougbt of it, Ber-trand Ru ell had tried to forward it, and nowUniversal Computers had acbieved it. Computershad been devi ed to see to tbe need of humanity.Automatic factories mass-produced necessities andluxuries in more than sufficient quantities. Crimewas almo t non-existent, for want had disappear-ed. The United World Federation had beenachieved and all the colonised planets had theirform of Commonwealth government related toEarth.

Early in the Twenty-second century all arma-ments had been banished forever. The resultingwealth was poured into home industries and thestandard of living of earth' four billion ro esharply. Education was promoted and it was un-usual for a person to leave college before twen ty-three year of age. Household drudgery wa gone.For a meal you dialled the food centre and therequired di h arrived through the chute in tenminutes. All the world- population could peakEnglish. A a result of universal security, religionhad slowly died out. Tt had become unnecessary.

However. certain phjlosopher -the world wasfull of them-had come to the conclusion thateven though they had all they could wish for,there still must be an overmind or a God. Univer-Computers bad the e philosophers under its wingto solve the problem.It was decided to connect up all the computers

of the solar ystem and resolve the problem thisway.On the day named, Mars Enterprises, Lunar

Computers Incorporated, Outer Worlds Compu-ters and Universal Computers had their systemsall connected to the Earth centre at New York.All the dignitaries were there. An electronicsstudent from Venus was chosen to solder thefinal connections.

He stood on a platform, bathed in spotlightsand soldered the final connections with gold flux.Then he asked the ultimate question: "Is there

a God?"There was a silent pause.Then came the words in a booming voice,

THE GRAND PRIX CIRCUS

The national flag of Monaco fell. Twenty driverlet in the clutches of their creaming cars aod,wbeels spinning madly. tbey shot forward. RonBeckworth and I, Jim Sear, both got off to agood start, and by the Station Hairpin we werelying second and tbird. Ron came out of his cor-

ner a bit wide, his tail slewing round slightly. Upinto second we cbanged, toucbing fifty as webraked hard for a slower right-haoder. Behind mewas Andy Ginther, in a BRM. In froot was Ron,till eeming a little uncertain in his Lotus.We were doing about a hundred and thirty as

we braked hard for tbe Chicane, on the left ofwhich is the harbour. Ron was steering far toowide. I gripped, the wheel tightly, and to my hor-ror be went straigbt on, crashed through the strawbales, and into the sea. But I knew he would beafe, and I concentrated on my driving.Luckily for me the car lying fust retired with

engine trouble, and 1 passed tbe other to win theGrand Prix de Monaco. I pulled into the pits atthe end of tbe race. Mike Walker, the designerof the cars, was waiting for me.

"Ron drowned," he told me simply.At the burial everyone was grim-faced. There

wa talk of a sawn-through steering link.The next World Championship Grand Prix was

held at the Niirburg-ring, the picturesque Germancircuit set among thickly-wooded forests. Wepractised for a couple of days on its windingstraigbts and gently sloping curves, averagingalmo t ninety miles per hour. The day before therace there were few people around the pit-area,but one girl I did notice. She was raven-hairedand very lovely. I watched ber, and she musthave sensed it, for she turned around, smiled andcame over. Her name was Anita. We chatted, andin no time had made plans to go out that evening.It all seemed very natural. I left tbe car withSteve Berrington, the chief mecbanic.I got back to my hotel at one 0' clock, not

giving my car a thougbt.Early that morning I made my way to the cir-

cuit, and was surprised to see the car standingnext to the pit, covered with dew. "I'll tellBerrington what I think of him," I thought angri-ly, but I stopped short as I peered over the pitcounter. He was lying in one, bound and gagged.

"What happened to you?" I asked after untyinghim."Someone slo hed me from behind guv'nor, I

swear it," be aid wildly. "Then he tied me up."How did he know it wa a "he"?Wa he lying?Everything was confusion that afternoon, with

photographer currying to and fro, mechanicsfrantically making last-minute adjustments to tbeircars, and the incessant roar of the loudspeakerand the crowds.

At last the track was cleared. Down swept tbeGerman flag, and the cars roared off on the firstlap of their forty-four mile circuit. I wa in poleposition, and got off to a fairly good start, lyingecond into the first corner behind Andy Ginther.But there was definitely something wrong withmy handling. As I approached the infamou Ka-russil, a banked curve taken at over a hundredmiles per hour, a feeling of nausea swept over me,for the front end of the car would not respondto my prompting. In desperation I thru t myfoot on lhe accelerator in an effort to get the tailround. It worked, and J went through the cornersideways, rubber moke pouring from my off-'ide tyres. After that lhe steering eemed to rightitself but I took no chances, and pulled into thepits next time round.

'The front suspension," I yelled at Berringtona J jumped out of my car. That wa when Mikeprobably saved my life. Berrington lurned hisback to me, 0 that I could not see what he wasdoing. He must have tried to improve on his pre-viou efforts, because Mike suddenly dived overthe pit counter and into him, pinning him againstthe front wheel. Mechanic came scurrying andheld the struggling Berrington. While J explainedthe ituation to them, Mike fixed the teeringlinkage.

"Okay Jim." he aid when he had finished. "goout there and win."The whole stop al the pits had taken ju tover

lwo minutes, 0 1 was approximately sixty-fiveseconds behind Fanerelli in a D.M.W., with threelap to go.

We were doing about one hundredand thirty-five then, with my rev. counter needleflickering at ten thousand rev per minute. ltbecame a battle of machinery. The finish-linewas ju t ahead, when Fanerelli's car gave a lurch,and oil began pouring from his engine. J cro edthe finishing-line just two second ahead of theD.M.W., its engine blown up.The jubilation at winning the World ham pion-

ship at the end of lhat year wa marred by havingto attend the trial of Baron Karl Pushkin and hidaughter Anita.

I WAS THEREThe sweat glistened on his brow as he gazed

down apprehensively at the black and white sta-tuettes before him. There was only thirty secondsin which to make his decision, a deci ion thatcould alter the whole course of hi life! The in-cessant ticking of the clock drummed relentlesslyin his brain. He endeavoured to quell his growingfear as he reached out hi hand. But fear turnedlo hope, and hope to exultation!lt was evening in Moscow. Thougb tbe Pushkin

Theatre was packed to capacity, there was scarce-ly a sound to be beard. On either side of me twomen engaged in the duel of the century, a duelwhich neither could afford to lo e! At stake wasa coveted title, the title of Chess Champion ofthe World! My role a judge seemed to pall intoinsignificance before the epic contest. As 1 sig-nalled for the challenger's move to be registeredon the large demon tration board. my thougbtsturned to how he. still only a youth. had come tobe itting there at that moment.

lt was a meteoric rise, even for a child prodigy.At sixteen he was champion of aU America andthe youngest grandmaster ever to have gracedtbe world cbess arena. His achievements had beentruly phenomenal, first at Riga, Hastings, Porto-roz and then at many other major tournaments.One by one the leading player of tbe world baduccumbed to his attacking and combinative style.Now, at the age of twenty, he had ascended to thefinal rung of the ladder of uccess. There remainedbut one obstacle before him....

The champion was worried as he peered oncemore at the sixty-four coloured squares. Surelythis was some kind of joke? But tbere was nohint of humour in his opponent's icy expression.The smug mile had slipped away. Tn its placecame an anxious frown. How was it possible?Surely hi position had been unassailable?

As I gazed at tbe scene before me. I realizedju t how great a toll tbe champion's age had takenof him. Perhaps twenty years before he wouldea ily bave found a refutation to tbe attack. Now,however, as he battled to retrieve tbe situation Icould ense the tension in the air but could notbelieve that the most experienced player in theworld would not ucceed.

But it was not to be. One brilliant thrust hadrendered futile his carefully planned variations.The solution to his quandary had proved beyondhis powers. As I stared at the jubilant new cham-pion, 1 realised that a flickering light bad beenextinguished. In its place shone a bright new star.

'N ONAANGENAME ONOERVINOrNGDaar is beslis geen twyfel nie! Die uitstalling

in die Britse Nasionale Museum is darem baie in-teressant. Op daardie merkwaardige dag was eko in die geskiedkundige wapens verdiep dat eknie die luitingsklok gehoor lui het nie. Terwyldie beamptes rondgegaan het om seker te maakdat niemand nog in die Museum rondloop nie. wasek vir 'n oomblikkie in die kleedkamer. Toe ekweer uitkom, het ek tot my verbasing gesien datal die ligte in die Mu eum dood was. Besorgd hetek haastig na die ingang geloop - dit was te laat!Ek wa in die Museum opgesluit.

Omdat dit byna seker was dat ek die nag in dieMuseum ou moe deurbring (want ek wou niemoeilikheid met die poli ie hê nie), het ek besluitdat ek in die Egiptie e afdeling ou gaan slaap.Die rede vir my keu e was dat daar 'n gemaklikeverebed van eens van die Faraós was waarop ekheerlik kon laap.

DAWN AND DUSK IN THE VELDThe ight of the rising or etting un tinging

with pink the fleecy cloud. or of unlight flood-ing a valley till covered in morning dew. i oneof lhe loveliest and mo t evocative things I know.

During the Chri tmas holidays I went on acamping trip and had the opportunity to witnessseveral un ets and unri e. In the evenings.when we had reached our destination and laid outour leeping bag, there would be a few momentof rest while the adults ipped their beer andupper operations were uspended. Then we wouldit and drink in the beauty of our surroundings.

I remember itting one evening on a teep rise.watching the cloud and mountain turn pale pinkwhile the ky flu hed through gold to red as theun ank like a flaming orb into a saddle betweenthe hill. Fi red by the beauty of the scene. myimagination raced to the horizons and I picturedomeone far east of us watching and thrilling tothe start of a new da . And then I imagined anold man itting on a balcony far west of u.waking in hi deckchair to find the un gone andhis pipe out and. twilight upon him. huffiingtimy inside. . .. I marvelled at the miracle thathappens day after day, unchanging. backward andforward into infinity and eternity.

I remember waking early one morning. at aboutthree. and watching the twinkling tar ab orbedby the slow dawn; then the black. black moun-tains silhouetted against a pink sky. And suddenlythe sun was up. and there was colour on themountain and in the valley. and the bird.chirped. m companion tirred. and it was day-and there \ a nothing but a fa t-fading memoryof a ight no arti t could ever capture.

'N NOUE ONTKOMINGToe ons uit die hawe vertrek bet, was die see

heeltemal kalm en geen wind het gewaai nie.

Na 'n uur of wat, toe ons in die oop see besigwas om vis te vang, het 'n fris westewindjie skielikopgesteek. Gou-gou bet die see onstuimig geword.Toe die bootjie begin te dobber, het ons die ankergelig.

Ons het stadig gevorder, want die deinings hetal hoër en boër geword. Die vissersbootjie het volwater geword en 'n paar vis ers het die wateraanhoudend met blikke uitge kep. Ander het metdie roeiery swaar geswoeg. Die ee was nou baiestormagtig en ons het gevaar geloop om verswelgte word. Die skipper het sy manskappe moed in-gepraat om die stryd voort te sit.

Toe gevaar gedreig het dat ons ou vergaan,het ons een klaps die geluid van 'n motorbootjiegehoor. Toe die inwoners van die vi sersdorpiesien dat hul familje in gevaar was, bet hulle diedorp bestuur versoek om die boot dadelik uit testuur. Die bootjie is betyds gered, ons aan boordgeneem en die vissersbootjie op sleeptou. By onsaankom was daar groot blydskap in die dorpie.

Ons het 'n noue ontkoming belewe.

MY DOG

I bave, or sball I say had, a wonderful littleDachshund by the name of Rommel. A strangename, you might ay, but he seemed to like it.o djd I. He was called this because I thought he

should have a German name, but could not recallthe fir t name of the German Field-Mar hal.

I got him when he was only eight weeks old,with a very large tom ach and appetite to match,an ear- plitting yap and a tiny, ever-wagging tailthat simply wouldn't stay still. He was just a tinylittle black ball, with a pendulum of a tail at oneend, and an extremely wet tongue at the other.

To remember the prank he played, and thecrapes he got himself into, the way be cried foromethjng. and how he played with me on the

grass, the way he used to run after me, trip me upand lhen lick my face - these always make mefeel very sad indeed.

At tbe lime he had grown to a lean, wiry, one-year-old toughness, and could run faster andfarther than [.

GALLERY-GOING IN CAPE TOWNCRICKET

The art world of Cape Town has always beenrather pedestrian and lacking in verve, this stateof affairs existing partly through apathy and lackof vital interest on the part of the public andpartly through inertia amongst the artists them-selves.

Recently there have been encouraging signof some ort of galvanization and tbere are in-dications of a new vitality creeping in, precipi-tated mainly by the enlightened go-ahead policy ofthe National Gallery since Prof. Bokborst's instal-lation as director and the establishment of smallprivate-enterprise galleries. These galleries ha veafforded us tbe opportunity of seeing more dis-plays of work by artists working in Cape Townand elsewhere.

To begin with, the National Gallery is gainingin interest, as a start has been made towards theestablishment of a collection of contemporaryEuropean painting and graphic works. Somerather interesting modern additions have recentlybeen made. Apart from these, the gallery also hasa collection of South African art which is reason-ably representative. Amongst tbe most interestingworks in the gallery, are tbe small African sculp-tures which have a powerfully indigenous feelingabout them. Of late the gallery has been staginglarge collective exhibitions such as the "Art S.A.Today"' exhibition. These large shows are alwayworth a visit.

The Wolpe Gallery is perhaps the most alive ofthe private galleries and follow a progressivepolicy of encouraging young talent and new ideas.as well as importing exhibitions from overseas,thus helping to establish ome ort of link withthe outside world. The unfortunate limitation ofSouth African art today is that there are no galle·ries anywhere in the country which have sufficient-ly representative collections which would facilitatean under tanding of the development of art in thicentury. This is a very big handicap indeed andany gallery endeavouring to alleviate this problemis performing a valuable service.

Gallery Shear in Long Street is a more con-ervative institution dealing mostly in establishedCape painters. Occasionally there are some verygood exhibitions presented at gallery Shear, sucha the recent pani h exhibition from Ibiza.

The Martin Melckhuis in Strand Street is ofgreat interest both in respect of its historical im-portance as an.old Cape Dutch building and alsoof the mixed collection of paintings assembled bythe gallery's very colourful director, Or. Silber-berg.

The main attraction of the gallery, painting-wise, is that this is the only gallery at which Ken-neth BaUer's work may be seen, as the galleryhas him under contract. He is a very importantSouth African abstract painter and is one of thefew South African painters ever to have won anaward at the International Biennale held at SanPaulo, Brazil, every two years.

The Old Town House on Greenmarket Squareis another important Cape building which housesthe Michaelis Collection of old Dutch masters.There are some exceptionally fine paintings in thiscollection, amongst them two excellent Van Bey-eren still lues of fish. There is also a Frans Halswhich is insured for thousands of rands, and aRembrandt of dubious authenticity. It could pos-sibly have been executed by one of his students.as there are correction lines drawn on the canvas.supporting this conjecture.

The Association of Arts Gallery on the topfloor of the Argus Building is perhaps the best-known gallery in Town, and there is always some-thing of interest on exhibition. The exhibitionshere range from the ultra conservative to tbeultra modern. The annual Cape Salon is held inthe Association of Arts Gallery and usuallyparks off an explosive controversy over the selec-tion and rejection of artists' work. This is one ofthe more lively occurrences in the art life of CapeTown.

There are rumours abroad that the artists work-ing in Cape Town are going to establish a galleryrun entirely by themselves. where they will bepermanently represented, so that an instantaneousimpression may be formed of the nature anddirection of Cape Town art. This could becomea very vital project, and one hopes that these ru-mour have some foundation. The indications arethat such a move is definitely afoot and we .lookforward to the ultimate establi hment of this gal-lery.

Certain areas in Wynberg, uch as "Little hel-sea:' are among t the mo tintere ting parts ofCape Town. their warm and unique atmo pherederiving mainly from the small complexes of o.ldcottage cattered about. ome of these exceed100 year" in age. Many of them have been reno·

Jan Ain worth, the convenor and Ma ter-of-Ceremonies, deserves congratulations for a verygallant effort.

Pos ibly the mo t noticeable aspect of theevening was the spirit 'hown by the boys. Thiswas perhap due to thc fact that the boy wereable to dance, following the les on taken at thegirl' school. The inclu ion of td. 9 helpers aartists, and on the night as waiter, was an excel-lent plan which could be made a tradition.

MISS KATHERINE LACEYWYNBERG BOYS' HIGH AND JUNIOR

SCHOOLS, 1929-1965An Epoch

., ow I want to be quite sure that Miss Laceywill start my son in school"-has been a peren-nial statement coming from parents __ . to be fol-lowed recently by a shocked, "What. Mi s Laceyreli ring! .,

Yes, it wa inevitably destined for the 1965school magazine to carry the news of the retire-ment from teaching at the school in December ofMiss Katherine Lacey, who had commenced herduties here in January, 1929, and continued herefor the very lengthy period of thirty-seven years.Until 1928, the chool, still one unit, had taken

pupils from the Standard One level only, andboys had to spend their Kindergarten year eitherat the Girls' School or elsewhere.

But during 1928 the beginning of the presentJunior School took hape, when a double- toreyedblock of five rooms wa erected to accommodatethe younger classes.

For the fir t time. in Jan ua ry 1929, there wasto be a Sub A and a Sub B cia s, and the teachernominated by the ommittee to be the founderof these Kindergarten cIa se at Wynberg Boys'High School was M is K. Lacey.Ju t what a fortunate choice that wa , the many

intervening years have proved.Throughout tho e years Mis Lacey became an

indispensable part of the school. Her teaching it-elf went from strength to strength and receivedthe highe t tribute from all circuit in pectors.

And, a mentioned earlier. it became the earnestwish of countle s parents that Miss Lacey hou Idbe their sons' first teacher.

Her firm yet ympathetic way with beginnerswon her the greate t re peet and afTection ofthose she taught.She constantly sifted the best from methods old

and new, and applied this to gain the most fav-ourable response. If we are to single out onesubject among many. it was READI 'G. whereher results were phenomenal.

rn 1951 Mis Lacey was promoted to the postof pecial Grade As i tant, in which capacity hecarried out a number of extra duties. which in-cluded the supervision of the chool Feedingcheme. and arrangement .. for general catering at

school functions.

Then. who will ever forget tho e annual intro-ductory items at Junior chool October entertain-ments, when with uch enthusiasm and pontan-eity. Miss Lacey's Sub A pupils gave u sparklingsong scene in costume. These always set themood for the entire evening.

In all she did, Mi s Lacey gave of her best,paring no effort in the pursuance of her dutie .and as isting school activities. She jmt "had tobe at chool daily," and she wa. for she wasabsent hardly a day in all the thirty-seven years.

Among the staff, she was deservedly popular.always kind and thoughtful. and in her later yearsa read ource of help and advice to youngercolleagues.

And in the e days, when staff come and go iltan alarming rate. thereby hampering the develop-ment of an institution, it has been to the greatbenefit of our school to have had omeone of thecalibre of Mis Lacey who, except for a shortspell at Upington. devoted virtually her wholeteaching career to one school.

32

She started our Wynberg boys' Kindergarten,has made our Sub A a byword among CapePeninsula classes, and has thereby gained a dis-tinguished position in the teaching profession.The school is greatly indebted to Miss Lacey.

We thank her profoundly. and regard it a privi-

lege to bave bad her services ... and we wish bermany years of retirement in health and happiness.

We shall more than welcome her at any schoolfunctions she is able to attend.

In conclusion, we say tbat Miss Lacey's yearsat Wynberg have been an epoch in themselves.

Junior

STAFF

Although given special notice on another pagewe must record here our untold regret that weare to bid farewell to Miss Lacey who concludesher thirty-seven years at Wynberg this year, as wellas her memorable teaching career. We are so usedto her pre ence among us that we hall quite beexpecting to see her next term, and it will takea while to grow accustomed to her absence.

To the staff in January this year we welcomedMiss BarweIl to Sub B, Miss Cowley to Std. 2Band Miss Puroe to Std. 2A. Miss puroes, how-ever, married and left us at tbe end of May afterwhich Mrs. M. Luman took over her class, andwill remain with us until December. To Std. IAcame Miss J. Warren, who, however, returned tobe married in East London in June, and wassucceeded by Miss Lon tein in July.

Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hutchison (Mi s D. Fried-man) have been spending 1965 in Europe, teachingand travelling. and writing us the mo t pleasingand mouth-watering letters of their experiences.Mr. Hutchison will doubtless have accumulated avast collection of lides, which he will allow usto enjoy upon bi return to Wynberg in 1966.Mr. Neville Schafer, continuing his piano studiesin Amsterdam, has written to us regularly too,and we are to congratulate him upon winning abursary.Thus Elsie lennings, after ten years of arduous

work with our young singers took a well-earnedterm of leave and, with her two younger daugh-ters. enjoyed some weeks of caravan travel throughgreat Britain and the continent. and heard as

much music as time allowed. Mrs lennings re-turned in July to rehearse her choir for the "Hallof Mu ic" and the junior operettas.

During the last term of the year Mr. K.Pretorius is having furlough and we trust he willenjoy a well earned break from classes.

Mr. N. Wolff, an old Boy who has beenteaching Std. 3B for four years, leaves us toproceed to Rhodesia. Our best wishes attend him.Mr. A. Larie hopes to fly to Europe to spendnve weeks of tbe Ilong vacation there with apossible meeting with Neville Schafer in Amster-dam.

GENERAL

Our nrst function of the year as usual, wasthe informal evening for "New Parents" of whomwe welcomed about a hundred one eve-ning during February.

A STORM AT SEAlt was a warm December morning and the sun

was shining as we sailed along. Towards the eve-ning. dark, heavy clouds covered the blue sky.Within ten minutes the rain came down overme and I ran into my cabin to fetch my raincoat.When I came back on deck, the wind was ragingand [ slid across the wet surface. At the other sideone of the crew caught me.

I then decided to go up to the bridge wherethe captain was giving orders to the crew. Justtben a huge breaker hit the vessel and to sed itlike a cork.The captain tumbled over. Wben he tood up

A few minute elapsed and finally T proceededwith our plan.

I had instructed a patrol car to follow thethug and report their position. Downstairs Jfound one manager brutally battered. We fol·lowed the radio report and it brought us to theslum area of London. As we came down a streetwe saw the patrol car outside a hou e.Together with three policemen I advanced to

the door. J broke it down and we burst in. Thethugs were taken by surprise and 1 arrested themon a charge of robbery with violence.

A STORM AT SEAThe ·'S.s. Maria" left London dock on a clear

afternoon. The ship was going to India. In tbenight, just after twelve, there was a violent crashagainst the ide of the hip. The captain whowas sleeping in the cabin heard the noi e andwent up the stairs only to be swept down by atorrent of water. The poor captain was in di .pair as he did not know what was happening. Atthe next attempt he managed to get onto thedeck. There were fla hes of lightning and theangry sea was beating again 't the side of theship.

The captain was talking to the econd matewho wa driving the ,hip. They both agreedthat unless there wa a lull in the torm theywould not be able to control the hip.The sailor who had been taken out of their

bed were geuing worried. The engine were cutoff and were not working. and worst of all thedecks were covered up to your knees so thatyou could not walk very well.

ft was about ix o'clock and the pas engerwere beginning to awaken when suddenly therain . topped and the wind died down and theship. old and battered, continued on its way.

A TORM AT SEA

A mall, sturdy cargo hip chugged lowly outof the dock and was oon nearly out of ight. rwas the captain of this hip and we were leavingLondon dock on our way to America.The first two days were fine and the ea wa

calm and clear but on the third day of our journeythe ky grew dark and the ea surged in a veryodd way. 1 had warned the crew to look out fora bad torm, when uddenly, the ky lit up withfork lightning and thunder rolled in the di tance.

At once the crew began lo put on their ou'-wester. The ship began to pitch and to a if il

were a cork and we were all drenched by thelashing rain. It seemed as if the ea wanted to killus, because huge breakers crashed with al! theirforce on the deck and both ma ts splintered likematch-sticks.

All at once the sea swelled and the wind howledaround us and before our eyes a huge giganticwave was forming. It was like a mountain madeof water and slowly but urely it came rollingtowards us with all its mighty force. As it engulfedus J heard a crash and the deck at the stern of theship splinter. Jim, who wa a new sailor waswashed overboard. I rushed as fast as I could tohelp him but a flying piece of wood struck me onthe forehead and all went black.

After what eemed an eternity I awoke andfound myself in my bunk. I looked out of theporthole and saw the un shining brightly. AfterJ had dressed I walked out onto the deck and wagreeted by the 2nd Junior Officer who told m.ethat Jim had been rescued and the men were re-pairing Ihe deck. I marched off happily to see ifany further damage had occurred and hoped thatJ would never again experience the horror of astorm at sea.

On our arrival at Milnerton I bad to walk tbecourse and found that the water jump was elevenfoot wide. Tbe course consisted of thirteen jump,mo t of them an average of three feet nine incheshigh. I had two horses in the fir t event and wabusy warming them up when I heard my nameannounced over the loudspeakers. wbich told meto stand by for I was the next to jump. I enteredthe arena and I am glad to say my pony jumpeda beautiful clean round in 62t seconds. Later onI rode my other horse but unfortunately receivedfour faults.

events, namely the athletics meeting, and theswimming gala. Our sincere thanks go to Mr.Morris for all the hard work he ha put in forthe house during the year.

Athletics. A good combined effort by the teamensured us a victory which was most handsomeby any standard. In tbe Open events two of ourathletes did exceptionally welI-G. Barnard, whowas the Victor Ludorum, and R. Raymond, whowas the runner-up for this award. G. Bland waoutstanding in the Under 16 age-group.

Swimming. Rhodes won the gala, beating itsclosest rival, Van Riebeeck, by 36 points. Here itwas B. Nielson and M. Emms who paved the wayfor victory by being the winner and runner-up,respectively, of the Senior Swimming Cup. In theUnder 16 section two of our swimmers did veryweU-No Oettle. and R. Perrott-Humphrey.

Cricket. Neither of our two team wa verysuccessful in tbe inter·house matches, with theresult that Rhodes did not gain a place on thefinal log.

Tennis. Our tenni team did not reach theheights tbat we all thought it would. Althoughthere was one first·team tennis player in it, theteam was defeated in the fir t round of the con-test by Van Riebeeck.

Judo. Rhodes entered a strong team in theLnter-House Judo Competition which we won.

Mr. Morris wishes to tbank the committee-members. especially the hou e-captain, M. Emm .for the strenuous effort made during the year. Healso congratulates the committee and tho e whocompeted on winning the Athletics. the swimmingand the Judo.

DE WAAL HOUSE

House Masters: Messrs. J. Mathew. A. offki.House Captain: D. Powell.Vice-Captain: C. Stephen.Secretary: Q. Rookledge.Committee: D. Hughes, D. Bank .

De Waal House has had an up-and-down year.distingui hing itself in ome aspects of chool life,

while failing miserably in others.We took fourth place at tbe annual ath.letics

meeting mainly because there was a scarcity ofrunners. Our congratulations go to Rhodes Housefor taking first place.

Swimming. At the annual swimming gala wemanaged third place, and we thank all tho e whotook part for displaying such good spirit. D.Powell is to be especially congratulated on gain-ing his swimming colour.

Cricket. In the inter-house cricket we met withgreater success and won handsomely. Our eniorteam, especially, proved far too strong for theother Houses, but this is not urprising as we hadseven 1st XI players: Powell (who captained theside), Stephens, Rookledge, MundelI, GiLmour.Merrifield and De Swardt. We must, however, notforget our junior team who gave us excellent sup·port. We congratulate C. Stephens on beingawarded his Blue for hi election as a memberof the W.P. Nuffield team.

Tennis. Our tennis team is also to be heartilycongratulated. Here, as in cricket, we won theinter-house competition.

Rugby. We were beaten into second place intbe inter-house rugby by Wellington. Both theenjor and junior team displayed a fine spirit andplayed attacking rugby at all times. The seniorteam contained regular 1st XV players in Hughes(who captained tbe side), Stephens, Erasmus andRookledge. Our special congratulations go to M.Erasmus for his selection as a member of theW.P. Craven Week team.

There was no scarcity of runners in the cro .country this year, but we could only manage thirdplace.

De Waal has five prefects this year, namelyStepbens, Powell, Rookledge. Bank and Nieu-woudt.

All in all we have had a very enjoyable year,and we hould like to express our gratitude toMessrs. Mathew and Noffki for the assistance andkeenne wh.ich they displayed throughout theyear.

Fourth Function, 20 and 21st August11 th Annual Hour of Music

This occasion formed a milestone in theSchool's h.istory when the SchoolOrchestra cele-brated its thirtieth birthday and in conjunctionwith the Choir gave a programme of both variedand interesting items.

We should first like to record that the occasionwas graced on the Saturday evening by the dis-tinguished presence of the SuperintendentGeneral of Education, Dr. l. Smit, and Mrs. Smit.who so kindly accepted our invitation, therebymaking the event the more memorable.

An added distinguished feature of the occasion,too, was the presence of three W.B.H.S. Head-masters, spanning nearly half a century. Theywere Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Clegg who had giventhe Orchestra their blessing and its foundation in1935, Mr. and Mrs. W. Bowden who had beenregular attendants at all our functions, and Mr.and Mrs. N. Blackbeard, whom we were so gladto have with us for the first time. Our circuitinspector, Mr. M. Wiggett, and our Inspector ofMusic, Mr. l. Enslin were our guests too, asalso Miss V. Lawton, principal of W.G.H.S., Miss[. Lawson, principal of Ellerton and Mr and Mr .P. van der Spuy, of Bergvliet High School.The programme opened with the Handel Occa-

ional Oratorio March, a fitting introduction.David Grodd, the 1965 Orchestra leader, tbenplayed an Arioso by Fiocco with Orchestral ac-companiment, controlling a good legato linethroughout. Malcolm Bates, with Mrs. Elsielennings, at the piano played the Siciliano andAllemande from the Defesch Sonata tor Cello-and Piano -this was a weU prepared, lively,rendering. Four Violinists, Stephen Hunt, DavidGrodd, Nevelle Pasvolsky and Arnon Hurwitzthen grouped them elves for the solo parts intbe Vivaldi Concerto in B minor for 4 Violinsand Orchestra -a most pleasing ensemble. Nextcame Michael Herbert. making his first ap-pearance as soloist with the Orchestra in Mozart'Rondo in D (K382). His playing showed excellentcontrol and deliberate approach. An ambitiousitem next - the Gavotte and Grigue from Bach'

No. 6 Partita in E for unaccompanied Violin,and played by Neville Pasvolsky

Neville showed excellent grasp of the musicand gave an assured, thoughtful performance.

The Orchestra then played three light Frenchpieces: the Evergreen Barcarolle from Offenbach''Tales of Hoffmann," the Gavotte (rom "Mifnon"by Thomas, and the delightful 'The Mill" byGillet. These were played with good style.The Choir, with Miss Elsie lenning as con-

ductor and accompanist, sang four songs-an ex-tract from "Rumpelstilkin," by J. Clements. Thank -giving Hymn by Human, two Scotti b Folk Songsby l. Butt, and "I will make for brooches" by M.Helyer. These were done in the artistic mannerwe have become used to from an excellent Choirand it wa good to have Mr . lennings back afterher term's furlough overseas. The final itembrought Chorus and Orchestra together in"Swell the full Chorus to Solomon's praise" fromHandel's Oratorio "Solomon" with Mr . lenningsal the piano and Mr. Lorie leading theOrchestra.

At the conclusion, Mr. Lorie announced tho eperformers whose names would be engraved onthe Epworth Music Society Cup as the foremo tSchool Musicians of 1965, and they were StephenHunt, David Grodd, Neville Pasvolsky, MalcolmBates, Arnon Hurwitz and Michael Herbert. Thewhole programme was repeated in the CliffordStorey Hall in Rosebank for the Epworth MusicSociety on Saturday, 28th August.

As we said at first - A mile tone.

ext came an operetta "The Marquis ofCarabu .. by ina Perry. produced by Mrs. R.Just. with ongs and choruses directed and accom-panied by Mr . E. Jennings. From the large castthe honours went to Leonard Atla a' Pus inBoots, Stewart Granger a Jack. Michael Walteras the King. David Crathorne as the Queen,Michael Goldstein as Dorothea. and Brian Lanza the ogre. Thi wa a bright performance.:nere followed a complete contrast in the play

"Plppi Long tocking" adapted from the book byA. Lindgrew, and produced by Mis R. Just. Thefive scenes portrayed five adventures in the veryindividual career of Pippi, who was ably actedby Richard Schaff. The supporting cast wagood and included Peter Shelton as Tommy.David Jupp as Andy, Derek polander andicholas mith as Mr. Heilson, the horse Kigel

Wright and David Richard as the Policemen.David Lan and Hugh Bo man a the two tough,and Geoffrey Ronaldson as the chool teacher.This play too was a great ucce s due largely tothe enthu iasm of the young performer.Sets in both play' were provided by Mr. K.

Pretoriu. a i ted by Mr. . Wolff. and theywere excellent. As usual. the tage managementby Mr. Pretoriu and hi group of helpers, notablyMichael Kahn and Beaument iel on. was thela t word in efficiency.To Mrs. Bal5illie go special thanks for her

very attractive propertie . And we repeat whatwe had tated at the programme - A big "thankyou" to parenL~ for costumes and support.

DRAMA CLASSESThese were ~arted at the beginning of the

second term by Mrs. R. Ju t. tbe junior schoolspeech teacher, to whom we are highly grateful.Although their number is mall, the enthusia m ofthe boys involved has made the course most en-joyable and profitable.

We were first instructed in the art of mime,although an unenlightened observer might wellhave put a very different construction on our un-gainly prancing about to cacophonous timuli orapparent taging of trench attacks.

ext followed what has been the most popularof our weekly les on°. public speaking. We were~t fl.r t well pleased with our prowes but. dis-Illusione? by the arbitration of a tape recorder,we sublimated our chagrin byembarking on aone-acl play, "The Valiant". In this Joel Gold teinrefused lo become a girl.

our heartiest congratulation to Peter van derMerwe and his pringbok Cricketer who havecovered themselves with uch glory in Britain.As member of the W.P.C.U. we are proud to bea ociated with the captain and the manager ofthe side which ha rejuvenated cricket-thinkingboth in outh Africa and in Britain.

With the echo of raindrop calling a halt to thethird te t at the Oval. I sit down to pre~ent my

We shall again have the privilege ofstagmg lhe uffield Week in Cape Town, 0 (forthe local followers of cricket) the future hold anexciting programme.

On two occa ion during the ea on victory waswithin our grasp and the initiative wa wrestedfrom u . We must be more determined!The la t two matches of the season. however,

David Powell took over lbe captaincy fromHilton Spark and led his side in lhe experimentalProlea league with varying degrees of uccess. Tbematch which stand out mo t vividly in my mem-ory was the one played again t S.A.C.H.S. at their

ground. Both team cored at tbe rate of 3.4 runper over, totalling four-hundred and seventy runsin tbe seven hour of play. .A.C.H.S. et tbe tune,but our reply was just as enterprising. We neededonly fifteen run to win when the last ball wabowled. We were et tbe task of making two-hundred and forty-five runs in 220 minutes. Thiswas cricket at its best and we look forward tomore of it.

Chris Stephens, Ronaid Smith and David Pow-ell represented us in the final trial at ewlandsat the end of cbools' Week, with Brian Watsonas tbe twelfth man for both ides. Chris Stepbenswas selected and David Powell was eJttremelyunfortunate to be omitted. He has a econd op-

portunity this year and we bope be wiU be morefortunate. Tbe backbone of our side could easilybe tb at of the W.P. Nuffield team this year. Thesehonours can be achieved only by dedication, prac-tice, concentration, and shrewd cricket thinkingand planning when confronted witb the ituationsfound during a matcb.

We were extremely fortunate to have messrs.Tom Reddick. and Martin Young a our proCe -sional coacbes during tbe season. I was respon-sible for the Ist xl with Mr. Reddick. MartinYoung and Mr. A. J.

Our coaches are to be congratulated on tbeirexcellent work during the eason. The boys haveexpressed their gratitude in their team reports.I should like to echo my appreciation of theirco-operation and their willingness to accept morethan their fair share of dutie .A special word of thanks is directed to Mr. and

Mrs. A. J. Morris and Mr . Arnott, our matron,and their staff for their kind consideration andhospitality during the season. Not only teas butlunches were served to the I t XI and our visitorswhen matches were played at home.Our supporter association include Messr.

Solly Fine, R. Gilmour, L. de Swart, Ron Gibbs.J. Rookledge, G. Stephens and J. Merrifield, whoregularly attend matche . This attention and in-terest is keenly appreciated by the team and themanagement.

In Senior Cricket the "Old Boys" Derek Louwand Neville Budge played against the M.C.C. forthe We tern Province with great distinction.

Micky Giles' century in lbe exhibition match atNewlands will long be remembered when coupledwith that of DenÏ$ Compton. Mike Bowditch wason tour with the W.P. xl and Jack Burt UDr.)was a twelftb man.

In the Colts team Howard Spiro has done wellbehind the stumps and Dave MacMeaking cap-tured most of the Boland wickets in the match atthe close of tbe season. Bobby Giles bad a goodseason with the Technical College Club and BruceAnderson is challenging Spiro for the vacant W.Province wicketkeeping post.

It will be a happy day for me when we oncemore have some of our "Old Boys" playing forthe Varsity teams. Wben this happens I feel surewe will be on the road to baving our cricketerswearing the green and gold again. This has notbeen repeated since Aubrey FaLkner's days.Congratulations to U.CT. and Martin Young

on their success last season in winning tbe firstdivision competition. We would also extend oursalaams to Richard Morris and Gavin Pfuhl ofR.B.H.S. on their achievements in tbe S.A. Nuf-field Xl which soundly defeated tbe GriqualandWest team at the beginning of the year.

2nd XIAlthough not as uccessful as they could have

been, the team had a very enjoyable eason.Batsmen seemed a bit timid about hitting the ball,and if this timidity could have been eliminatedthe results would have been very much different.Captained by R. Katz and indefatigably coached

by Mr. Morris and Mr. Martin Young, the teamnotched only one win when they defeated the OldBoy XI in an exciting match. the winning runscoming off the Ja t ball of the match. Notableperfonnance were against Ob ervatory Boys'High 1st XI when M. Era mu took 6/9 in 10over. Observatory being dismi ed for 26; K.Bridgen 's 24 out of a total of 47 in the amematch; and R. Katz's 4/17 in 8 over again tRondebo ch in an innings of 100/5.K. Bridgen. who was consistent a an opening

batsmen, and N. Gow were the most uccessfulbatsmen, while M. Erasmus-who perhap terro-ri ed many of his victims into going out-R. Katzand E. Jenning were the most effective bowlers.

On behalf of the team I should like to thankMr. lorris, Mr. Young, P. Selby our devotedumpire and tho e who gave up their time tocore, for aH their much appreciated a j tancethroughout the season. Matron must receive spe-cial thank for providing tea and cakes for ourhome matches.

3rd XIThe 3rd XI enjoyed a very successful eason

winning all but One of its matcbes in the econdhalf. The team was unfortunate in the fir t halfof the eason, but it was the wonderful fightingspirit that came to light towards the end whichcarried us tbrough the econd balf. There wereno really oustanding players, although M. Emmscored many vital runs and Abel ohn bowledwell.

On behalf of our team 1 hould like to thankMr. S. Gilmore, our master-in-charge, for hiscoaching and wholebearted support. Our sincerethanks go also to the umpires and scorers whogave up their time for the sake of our team.

5th XI

A usual it was easier to get a team togetherin the fir t quarter of the year than the last, andthree matches were played in the 1965 half ofthe ea on a again t one in 1964. Of thesematches two were won, one drawn and one lost.

The best feature of the team's cricket was itsfielding, while bowling was also fairly consi tentwith players like Humphries and Pater On to relyon.

Batting, however, left something to be desiredand in this department of the game Jones andvan Dam alone managed to e tabli h them elvesto ome extent.

The first half of the season proved most satis-factory, although only one of the four matchesended in a victory for the school. Tt wa noticeablethat many players were maturing- a sign thataugurs well for the future senior teams. Ablyled by Charle Maimin, the team at all timesplayed attacking cricket, and tbere prevailedamongst its members, a marked "esprit de corp .'.Outstanding batsmen were Long and Gow, whileLong, Gow and chumann proved the be t withthe ball.

did not win many of our games. This young andinexperienced team consisted of ome quite tal-ented player who could develop into quite goodcricketer.

On the whole our bowlers were fairly successfulbut our batsmen need more practice and coach-ing. One of the more uccessful bowlers was VanNiekerk, who took even wickets for 21 runagainst Technical H.S. Theoder wa also uccess-ful against S.A.C.S., taking five wickets for thirty-one run ..

Our most ucces ful batsmen were Honeymanand Van Niekerk, Van Niekerk scoring 29 runagainst Tech. H.S. and Honeyman making 21against Rondebosch B.H.S.

This year has been a mo t successful one inmany ways although the re ults of the leaguematches were not very impres ive. Tn the past wcwere fortunate in having talented and experiencedplayers, but now that they have left us. we havehad to spend much time in building up newteams.At the end of last year Mr. muts left the

School, and we are indebted to him for all hedid for school tennis. However. with the arrivalof Mr. Boltman on the cene, things once againbegan to look promising, for he did much toorganise regular practices and in particular toencourage the juruor players. Since the beginningof the second term, the new headmaster, Mr.Blackbeard, an experienced tennis player him elf.has shown keen interest in the tenrus. He hasalready made it possible for the courts to bemaintained tbe wbole year round, and full ad-vantage was taken of tbis privilege. It is hopedthat tbe two gravel courts will be converted intoall-weather courts.

One of tbe "bigWights" of the tennis seasonwas tbe match against the masters: this time,however, we were soon beaten by a strongerstaff team than u ua!. For the championships thisyear Mr. Boltman introduced, in addition to theopen singles, a doubles event; as well as a be-ginner's and an under 15 section; the final oftbe open singles was again won by Zelig Leyser.who beat David Asher 6-2, 6-3. Tbe inter-hou etennis once more proved mo t enjoyable andwas won by De Waal House with Van Riebeecka runner up.

Last year D. A her and L.Wilmot were chosento go to the Houba's tenni camp in the Christ-mas holiday. D. Asher and Van Gy en did excep-tionally well in lhe W.P. Championships tbisyear, when Asher won the double event withVan Gy en as runner up.Tn the league we were not very successful, but

we have many promi ing junior who should, inthe next year or two, belp to rai e tbe standardof tennis to what it was a few years ago. After

THE TOUR OF 'fOURSB LIO EL WIL ON

You will be feted in grand tyle. they will puton Float Procession which would rival even theU.CT. Rag. You will receive gifts and souvenirsand be entertained lavi hly. In fact they will doalmost anything for you, but when the day ofthe game again t their ide dawns. they are onlyintere ted in one thing. and that is to defeat theSpri ngboks.

Well. after 3 month in their heautiful country.we 1965 'Boks can vouch that all these glowingreports were proved not only true, but that in theend the e warm-hearted ew Zealanders wereeven barracking for u !

Ye , without a doubt this is The Tour of Tours,not only for the 32 lucky pringboks so fortunateto be elected, but it also seems so for the ewZealander who. one gathers,. cannot wait for thenine years interval in between tours.The aying goe that a New Zealand boy when

old enough to form ambition~. will put as hisfi rst threl! the following:

(a) To be an All Black.(b) To play again t the pringboks.(c) To beat the Springboks!However. before I attempt to relate ome of the

intere ting high-lights of our wonderful experiencein Kiwiland. let me briefly cover the three weeksspent in Australia.

T do not think it is fair to compare this tourwith that of New Zealand, as in Au tralia lt iquite obviou . apart from in Sydney (New SouthWales) that Rugby Union i a poor third toAu tralian Rule and Rugby League which bothhave big following, drawing gates of 70.000 totheir respective Cup-Finals.

In Perth we over-ran West Au tralia 60-0 and102-0. in Melbourne it wa 51-6 again t Victoriaand in Brisbane de pite ome indifferent play wecame away victors by 50-5 against Queensland.It was a ditTerent "kettle of fl h" again t Newouth Wales. fielding 14 of the current Wallaby

team and a you all know we went down to themin both the Te. t . Admittedly we were not quitegeared for uch trong oppo ilion after the earlierwalk over, but all credit to an experienced andwell-balanced Australian Team-although T be-lieve the Pres had a lot to say about the Refe-rees!

A two hour flight from sunny Australia andwe landed at Gisborne-North J land-to be wel-comed in true ew Zealand tyle by pouring rainand thou and of fan Ijning the route to ourHotel, where the Police had to control anotherhuge crowd.

This ort of welcome we experienced all overorth and South Island and in Jnvercargill downouth they even bad us riding on Vintage Car,

Traction Engine and old Fire Engines from theAirport to the Hotel-I might add thi wa formany of u a boyhood dream come true.

73

Of the Rugby you mu t all have read too muchalready and having alo read the results of thenew paper Competition, calling for ideas on im-proving the game in outh Africa, it will not benece ary to explain in detail the rea on tor ourfew defeats.However, after the debacle again-t Wellington

we took tock of our game and went from trengthto trength, beating amongst other uch formid-able OpposJtion as Taranaki. holders of the prizedRanfurly Shield tor the past 2 year. Canterbury.North Auckland. Waikoto and Hawk Bay.A hard-earned 6-5 victory against Canterbury

with only 13 men on the field for the last 5minutes, wa only a forerunner of a vital 3rdTest. We were the underdogs when we ran ontothe boggy "paddock" and we were still underdogat half-time with tbe core at 16-5. But courage,determination and a magnificent kick from Tinyau de in the dying minutes ot the game saw u

clinch the match 19-16. The full-throated cheeringof the taunch Kiwi crowd and the jubilation inour dressing room afterward will long remain inour memory.

Of the other Tests: we felt that we did notcapitalize on the chance available in the Ist Testat Wellington, where we lo t 3-6 in a howlinggale on a wet field. Kobu Louw aptly referred toWellington in hi after-match peech a -"ABaby-Always Wet and Windy."The 2nd Test at Carisbrook, Dunedin. is a game

we 1965 pringbok will want to forget. eldomhas any team played 0 poorly in a Test Matchand T do not want to detract from the intelligent

Opportunities for port have grown manifoldat Wynberg and no fewer than 12 different portsare offered. All pupil are therefore expected toparticipate in sport throughout the year. Weshould not, however, lose ight of the fact thatAcademic work still come fir t; but that ithouJd be upplemented by sport i important torthe following rea ons:

A healthy body is neces ary for a healthy mind.Organized school sport is valuable because it

keeps pupils occupied and diverts excc-'>Senergyinto desirable channels.Sports educates the pupil to look after his

health, hi greatest asset. Thi - IS important whilehe i at school but much more "'0 when he leave

play of the All Black Team under tho e atrociousconditions.

In the 4th and Final Test at Eden Park ourthree-quarter were not given a good ball. Un-fortunately tbe few opportunitie we did get wesquandered for passes were either dropped orwent astray which let the oppo ition in for tries.One wonders what would have been the outcomeif Jannie Barnard' pas to Get Brynard in thetir t few minutes of the econd half had beencleanly taken and capitalized on with the score atthat lage only 3-0. But that' the way matcheare won or lo t. 0 let it be a les on to us.

All the games were virtually Test Matches withmost tearns having prepared for anything up to8 month just for the one encounter-so you canimagine the tension built up. However they wereall mo t enjoyable and incident-free. and it wasa plea ure playing again t uch enthu ia tic andknowledgable Rugby people.The overwhelming bo pitality of these warm-

hearted ew Zealanders did much to dispel the'train and fatigue that alway accompanies Rugbytouri tso Proof of thi was the fact that we re-turned home on a Tuesday fresh and keen toplay for our re pective lubs the following atur-day.

We will alway remember the evening ofcolourful entertainment at the variou Maori Con-certs and last but not least the scene at EdenPark, Auckland after the Final Te t, as thou andsof New Zealanders raised their voices to bid usfarewell with the traditional Maori ong, "Nowis the Hour."

1965choo!. It alo ed uca tes him in qualitie of cha-racter so important in everyday life: co-opera-tion, self-di cipline, determination and leadership.

The following porting activitie are oltered:Win/er: Rugby, ro s- ounlry.Summer: wimming, ricket, Athletics, Row-

ing.Whole year: Golf, Mountain-climbing, Bad-

minton, Table Tennis, Judo, Gymnastic, Tennis.When participating in aoy of these, we bould

remember, above all, the motto of the ModernOlympic Games: "The important thing is notso much winning but in taking part: the essen-tial thing i not conquering but fighting well.'·

As one of the keenest nurseries of South AfricanRugby. we at Wynberg have always followed thefortunes of our National teams with great in-terest. This year two old boys of the School.namely Lionel Wilson and Douglas Hopwoodwere members of the touring Springbok ide inAu tralasia and we extend to them our heartiestcongratulations on being selected. We could havehad a third Old Boy in the side, for Dave Stewartinformed the National Selector before the trial!;that. for busines reasons. he would not be avail-able for the long tour.

Doug, unfortunately, was hampered by injuriesand only came into hi own near the end ofthe tour, but did sterling work in leading theSpringbok pack. Lionel had a grand tour and hisrocklike defence earned him the praise of theAll Black Captain, Wilson Whineray, who paidtribute to him as a great defensive player withtremendous courage.lt ha been a sad year in the annals of Spring-

bok rugby. starting with the ill-conceived and dis-astrous short tour of the British Tsles, and inAustralia and New Zealand our players struggledfor most of the time. Jn the Briti h Isles we kepta promise. but paid a heavy price where we wonfriend , but lo t prestige as a rugby force. In NewZealand our rugby was so bad at one stage, thatone of the New Zealanders, out of ympathy,offered hi ervices a a coach to the Springboks!We in outh Africa were addened and felt humi-liated by these reports. Although the performan-ces of our Springbok have reached a lowebb,they did fight back, especially in the third test.which we won convincingly but threw away ourchance in the last test.The question now ari es. Has our rugby reaUy

declined to such an alarming extent? On thipoint, there are many differing opinions. Someay that the easy way of life in our country hasoftened up our players. Tbis rea oning i morean alarmi t reaction to our rugby di asters thana real effort to find the cause for our iUs. Thereal truth is that, in an attempt to experimentwith the new laws. our forwards got used toplaying too loo e. Our game has drifted. We have

lost tbe art or rather the technique of playingforward with at least five tight forwards.Although our forwards were bigger than lheew Zealanders, we did not use our bodies and

ran about too much. Rucking was something ourforwards had to learn from scratch. Also in theline-outs there wasn't tbe inten ive support. con-sequently we received too many bad balls. This.combined with the " econd phase" attack, namelyhallow lining up by one' opponents. stifled ourplay to a large extent.

Our club, provincial and international coachesmust get the old ba ic forward pattern of tightplay and hard rucking back again-the type ofrugby played by Boy and Fanie Louw, JohanClaas en, Ferdie Bergh, George van Reenen,Chris Koch and all our other great forwards.Test matches are hard. grim. reIentie games andwe will go on lo ing them if we do not learn andremember the les ons of the past. There is nothingwrong with our players. They have not gone soft,nor need they go and chop down trees in orderto beat their opponents.

"Craven Week" has come to stay and the W.P.School's ide was this year elected after Schoolwere invited to put forward their nominations.Exten ive trial matches were played and tbe "best"team wa selected. We congratulate Mr. J. F.00 thuizen, who once again very ably coachedthe W.P. ide and accompanied them to EastLondon. We al 0 congratulate our players wbowere elected for tbe W.P.

lost lo rugby, there is till a large number whodo not play any winter sport. We are perturbedabout this!The School side, very ably led by David Hughes,

was one of the stronge t in the competition andlo t only five matches. They played very attrac·tive rugby and we congratulate Messrs. 00 thui-zen and Ta ker and thank tbem for the time,energy and devotion pent on these teams.The econd team played some extremely good

game and those which tbey lo t, were only bya mall margin. They were very ably led byGerald Abelsohn and had a tine team spirit.They had a fine et of forwards, but the backs,

although running hard, were inclined la fumbletheir passes at the vital moments. Their best gameswere the 8-3 win against Hottentots Holland andtheir narrow 9-3 defeat again t Rondebosch, whenthe team was depleted due to injuries in thefir t team. The game again t t. Joseph was veryexciting, the winning try being cored econdsfrom time. They alo had pleasant friendliesagainst Pinelands and Bergvliet. Knight and Pro-byn gave Abel ohn valuable support throughoutthe season.The Under 19 C and D had a fairly successful

ea on this year and even the D team bad a fewmatche arranged for it tru year.

77

As again t la~t year tbere was a great improve-ment in tbe performance of tbe C team and ahigh point was reached in their defeat of theea Point B team.The Under 16 sides suffered becau e there were

few reserves. Tbe A team was potentially a verygood side at the beginning of the sea on, bULtheir play was affected by the fact that the Bteam was not a trong side. Both teams, however.never gave up trying and their morale remainedhigh.The Under 15 ide played attractive rugby.

The best games of the A team were against Ron-debosch, which was won 3-0 and against SACS,lo t 3-0. The A team has much talent, but thebacks must improve their tackling. The B teamimproved steadily during the season, and beatPaul Roos in an exciting game by 11-10.The Under 14 A ide, ably led by A. Katz, was

one of our best team and only lo ttbree matches,scoring 169 points and only 30 against. Theircoach, Mr. Grobler is to be congratulated onthi achievement. The Bide, led by Peters. al 0

did well and had a good team spirit.The Under 13' did not have much uccess,

mainly becau e last year's Under 12 A team didnot come up a a unit. Tru left ome gap inthe backline. The forwards were strong, but thebacks lacked speed and did not handle well. Theteam were weakened by illness and withdrawals.

A large number of boys entered for the Under12 ection and the re erves had a regular weeklypractice. The Under 12 A team had a fairlyuccessful season, winning the majority of theirgames. They played brilliant rugby at times.Marius Oosthuizen and Eric ca per thrilled manypectator with their electrifying break from thethree-quarter line. The B side had a reasonablenumber of successes. The C and D tearns wereunfortunate in that they often had to competeagainst the A and B teams from slightly smallerchools.The Junior first team and an Under 12 team

played Grey College of Bloemfontein, winning onegame and lo ing the other.

The School were hosts to three touring side dur-ing the ea on, namely Durban Boy' High, MiltonHigh and St. Aidan' of Graham town. We thankthe ho tel taff for putting up our vi itor and ex-tending our ho pitality to them. Both our Durbanvisitor and our boy will long remember the braai-vleis at Wemmer hoek. Tt is the first time in livingmemory that chops and boerewor have got thebetter of choolboys!

As Mr. Tasker"s successor as O.C. of Rugby atWynberg, 1 wi h to pay a pecial tribute to himfor the many year of hard work and devotion hehas put into rugby at Wynberg, Realising themagnitude of the ta k, it was with trepidation thatr stepped into his shoes, and now that the seasonis over, J can but give a sigh of relief. It i indeeda mammoth job, looking after all the teams andcoaches, listening to everybody's troubles andproblems, answering and making hundreds ofphone call, entertaining and looking after touringsides, rounding up lost property, arranging bustrips to Paarl and Stellen bo ch and countless otherles glamorous, but e ential chores connected withour rugby. We thank him for hjs great services torugby at Wynberg and are grateful that he is stillable to as ist witb the coa.ching of the first team.

Our Cake, Coffee and Cool Drink Stand hasbecome a regular feature on Saturday mornings,and we wish to thank all the ladies of our PT.A.who have given up so much time for this veryessential ervice to the School. Thank you, ladies!

The Junior School wi hes to thank all the"uncles". namely Abelsohn, Bairstow, Standley,Emms, Blotnick, Grodd, Shantall, Pfeil, Fine andJones, who have coached our up-and-comingpringboks on Friday afternoons.For the first time this year we held our Inter-

House Competitions on a Saturday morning andeverybody present, including the players, thoughtit to be a big success. We hope to see more parentspre ent next year.The Rugby Equipment department once again

did their job efficiently and we thank Sheddon.Dodd, Heydenrych and their assi tants for theirexcellent work.

The chool wi hes to place on record its appre-ciation of the services rendered by leading W.P.referees in handling our senior games at Wynberg.Without the assi tance of these men we could nothave carried on. We thank especially Messrs. Bur-meister, Major Kolesky, Salkow, Peter Morris.Burman, Kelynack, Hawtrey, Engelke and Mareé.The chool vs. Old Boy game wa a grand

exhibition of rugby. We never knew that our"young" old-boy could run so fast, and tbereferee Joe Salkow afterward testified that he hadnever in all hi life run 0 much in uch a horttime! Next year we would like to ee a few ofthe older generation on the field.We were at all times very plea ed to ee Mr.

and Mr . Blackbeard watching the fortunes of ourteams and we thank them not only for the interestthey have hown in our rugby, but alo for the

Badminton, a most popular port among manyWynberg boys, was started in the third termmore as an experiment than anything else. Need-les to say it has been a great uccess. and theclub intends devoting the rest of this year topractices and informal gatherings, with the likelypro peet of several. Springboks coming to helpwith occa ional coaching.

Owing to the Lack of pace in our hall, we haveoDly one court-thus member hip is restricted toStandards Eight. Nine and Ten.

1965Last year it became apparent that the old cross-

country course would oon have to be changedowing to the development of housing e tate andmotor freeway. We were sorry to ee it go be-cause it was a tough, challenging cour e whichhad taxed the endurance of determined runnerover many year.

The new cour e adopted thi year ha . however,'everal advantage. lt starts in the chool ground.taking the runners round the field before theygo into Tennant Road. by which time they arethinned out so as not to pre ent too serious atraffic hazard The cour e then includes the newfields on Hawthornden Estate and leads back tothe school. going down De Villier treet, acroAlexander Road and down Fair eat Avenue tothe orth East corner of the C. field. After a cir-cuit of the field the whole Cour e i repeated,giving a total of approximately 3t miles. Thicourse eliminate too much road running andby bringing the runners through the chool againfor a econd round make the race more interest-ing from a spectator point of view.A further advantage stem from the fact that

the course i shorter and fa ter. Thu our cour ei brought more into line with that of the inter-ehooIs cro -country, and thi makes it easierfor our runners when they part.icipate in thatevent. Since the cour e i shorter and impIer. wecan al 0 expect many more pupil to take partand thi expectation wa in fact realized thiyear. La t year the average number of totalpoints obtained by the houses was 3,705. Thisyear it wa 8,755.

The junior 'wimmers made very good progressthis year, but the same cannot be said of all theeniors. some of whom forgot that it is essentialto train hard and regularly.A Colour award was made to B. Niel on for

winning the Senior Swimming Cup. He did notqualify for a Blue, as none of his time was withina colour time.

At the Gala no fewer than eight new recordwere established. This is a healthy sign.

Having been in charge of wimming ince ourMemorial Bath was built six years ago. I wouldlike to thank all tbe master, and in particularMr. W. E. GredJey. who have done so much toencourage swimming at Wynberg.

wimming is a healthy, clean port, a hardta kma ter in competitions, but a rewarding andworthwhile relaxation, offering the maximumamount of exercise needed for tbe developmentof the human body.

1 hope that my ucce or will find as much en-joyment as r have, in watching the progress madeby our swimmers.

ff Wynberg boy ometime feel despondent attheir low progr they can remember tbat mem-ber of the Au tralian Olympic Team, Ilse andJan Konrad and eviUe Hogan, who won worldtitles. trained in our bath a few years ago, andthat they alo had to tart at the beginning andwork their way to the very top. Good luck anducce ful swimming in the year to come.

The Judo lub ha once again bad a veryucces ful year and still remain one of the moreprominent clubs in tbe scbool. None of tbelub' achievements, however, could have been

attained without the encouragement, guidanceand excellent tuition of our coach. Mr. AlecButcher. We are all very grateful to him for hitraining and help.The year began well when we beat the Defence

Force A team at Youngsfield. (During the fir t

term the Judo Club was divided into two hou es.Kano and Daigo with G. Barnard and R. Timmisas respective house captains). In the fir t of manycontests witb S.A.C.S. our B team lo t narrowly:but we had our revenge later when both the Aand B team won deci ively. The Club put on avery ucces ful di play at Milnerton Boy' Highand as a re uIt a club ha been tarled there andcontinues to flouri h.

Early thi year C. Wolf was very deservedlyawarded hi Junior Black Belt but unfortunatelyinjured his leg and could not participate io anycompetition for the next two term. Westrnore-land put up a good figbt again t .A.C.S. andafter the competition Mr. Butcher awarded himhis Blue Belt (2nd Kyu).The W.P. mateur Judo A ociation bas tarted

The Mountain lub has now been in existencefor three years and through the enthusia m of itsmembers and organisers it can truthfully claimto be one of the more active clubs in the school,and well established in the School's activitie .

Finding thoroughly competent and responsibleleaders has proved difficult, but through the un-remitting efforts of Mr. Peter Cronwright we haveonce again been well supported by leader, mostlymembers of the South African Mountain Club, ofwhich Mr. Cronwright himself is a prominentmember. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Cron-wright for the organisation he has done. Al thetime of writing the committee has decided tohow its gratitude by conferring on him the po i-tion of Honorary President. Mr. Morri, ourchairman and master in charge. ha been a con-stant source of encouragement and has given tbecommittee all his upport for which we are verygrateful.

The club has gained materially during lheyear with a grant from the school, used to buya nylon rope, a tent, and other equipment which isloaned to members. A Mountain lub badge, inthe process of manufacture, will be awarded todeserving members and will form official recog-nition of climbing ability and service lo lheclub.

During the summer holiday Mr. ronwrighlled a large party of Wynberg boy to the edar-berg, and I am sure that the eight day in uchbeautiful urroundings made a lasting impressionon the members.

The year was opened with a plea ant climbevery fortnight ranging from ea y cramble todifficult rock. Worthy of note are the climbs onPostern and ilver tream Buttres led by Mr.Scoble and Mr. Weller, and alo more difficultroutes taken by senior member. We are indebtedlo Mr. C. Katz for allowing u to attend everalrock-meets under the outh African MountainClub. These formed a very good training groundfor correct climbing technique as well as givinggreat enjoyment.

Apart from the regular climbs we undertake,other activities are arranged. We have had threeevening meeting in the Junior chool a emblyroom, the first being a creening of Mr. ron-wright' fine !ides of the edarberg. The gueslspea ker for our third meeting wa Mr. F. Bacon

who poke on the Matterhorn. and illustrated bi'lalk with slides, a memorable evening with a finespeaker. The history of tbe first ascent of thismountain was very interesting. In addition tothese large gatherings we have had a number offilms screened during lunch-hour at school. andduring a break Mr. Mills, a doyen of the SouthAfrican Mountain Club, spoke on the ignificanceof mountain climbing and pointed out manybasic rules of good climbing and courtesy.I should like to take this opportunity of thank-

ing the Committee (Ainsworth, Glaun, De Smidt.Fi cher-Jeffer, Barnes, and esselberg) who havecon i tently upported me and taken a largeamount of wark off my shoulder. Our only dis·appointment during the year i that more juniormember have not joined the Club, and I hopethat thi lack of young members will be remediednext year. These will be the life-blood of the cluband without a strong junior member hip the clubmu t ultimately die. J urge future office bearersto make their main aim-the recruitment of aery strong junior ection.

Master-in-charge: Mr. Kooy.At the beginning of the year a completely new

club joined the ranks of tbe other numeroussocieties. This club was to be known as the GolfClub. Forty boy wishing to become memberswere i ued with membership cards.

As tbe club i still "wet behind the ear " andif we take into account the many diffi~ultiehaving to be overcome, the Golf Club has beenhighly uccessful during the pa t year. ix uc-ce sful competitions have been held at variousclub which have been mo t kind in granting usthe courtesy of their cour e . These competitionswere enjoyed by all concerned and the winnerare as follow: Hamburger, Goldblatt (who wontwo), W. Mular. Van Blomme tein and Cowood.

In March Mr. Jack Plummer and M r. BrianHenning gave an appreciative audience, consi lingof eventy boy, an interesting talk on variousaspect of golf. There was an air of excitementin the hool hall as Mr. Henning gave an accountof how he and hi three brother all becamefamous professional.

The Inter- chool competition was also heldin March at the Rondebosch Golf lub. Eighty-five boy from many Cape chools look part,Wynberg having one of the bigge t entrie withfifteen competitors. Although our tearns did not

Other functions include three interesting film--hows which unfortunately were very poorlyattended.

hould like to thank Mr. Kooy for giving up hisvaluable time in order to help u with the arran-ging of competitions and other function.1 am ure that next year when it is firmly

established the Golf Club will rise from strengthto trength.

The results of the Old Boys' Match duringAugu t are a follow.I. Powell and Gilmour beat Good and Goosen.2. Goldblatt and Lipsbitz lost to Bunting and

Goodwin. The latter game proved to be extremelyexciting with two points eparating the winnersfrom the lo ers.

3. Patter on and Miller beat Groenewald andTrott in another tense game_

4. Mr. Kooy and Mr. Parkins, both playingfor the school, beat Mr. Hopkin and Mr. Miller,an old boy of the school, by a very clo e margin.

The club has been unfortunate this year in thataltendance have been very poor. It is hoped thatthis will be rectified in the near future. Duringthe coming year it i pos ible that Ibe club mayobtain new quarter where the atmosphere will bemore conducive to playing chess.

To increase the membership, which at themoment tands at about 25, the club hopes, dur-ing the cour e of the coming year, to undertakean extensive coaching programme aimed particu-larly at the lower classe . With thi end in view.new sets and boards have been bought to replacethe ones previously used.

Owing to perseverance by the committee, thispast year has been a very enriching and successfulone. A hand core of christian fellows has beendeveloped in the school which will be able to takeover and run the meeting in the future. Our num-bers have been mall but very con tant, a goodthing in many ways.

Great blessing has been received from the dif-ferent meeting during the week, in particular onMondays at lunch breaks. From these meetingswe have learnt more and more of the moral tan-dards et u by hrist himself. A a group, wehave endeavoured through a contact with God bymeans of prayer meetings during short break onWednesdays, and a Bible tudy at long break onThursdays, to live up to these tandard, helpingeach other constantly.

The boarding hou e section of our meeting,under the very efficient leadership of 1. Nieuwoudt,ha also received great blessing. Members meettogether every week to discus various ubjects.This ha been very fruitful and of benefit to eachone.

During the first term we arranged a programmeof speaker from the Bible Institute at Kalk Bay.I hould like to expre! s our gratitude for tbe mes-ages they gave which were very helpful and in·formative. During the econd term we followedlhe theme of: "Chri tians from all walk of life,"and our eyes were truly opened. During the thirdterm we followed a eries of questions which wereanswered fully by different speakers. I should liketo thank them for their expo ition and J do hopethey gained a much by their preparation as wedid through their answers.

On two occasion during the past year we havehad the plea ure of combining with other school

Students hristian Unions, fir tly at Westerfordand then at Sea Point. These meetings have beenof great value to us and we should like to expressour appreciation to the organizers. During thesecond term we had a combined meeting with theGirls' School in our hall and were paid back amplyby a return meeting in the Girls' School Hall dur·ing the third term.

The committee has been exemplary and I wouldlike to thank them all for their selfless support.Our tbanks go to Mr. Driessen, the master·in·charge, Mr. Mathew and Mr. Kooy, for theirupport and interest which was such an asset. All

tbe praise, for a blessed year of advancement andlearning, goes to God, our Keeper and ourStrength at aU times. It is He who has been ourinspiration and our Guide to enable u to fulfilwhat we have.

Weshould also like to thank Mr. Mathew for the useof the Laboratory.

Po ibly the most interesting and intriguing filmwas "Altitude 40,000", which showed a day in theLife of the jet fighter of Israel. A elo e secondwas "City Called Eilat", which gave one a corn·plete urvey of tbi modern and continuaUy ex·panding city.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER

1965 has been a year of great interest, progressand development not only in the affairs of lheSchool, but in the closely associated affair ofyour Old Boys' Union. It has been a year tingedwith sadnes , but one. at the same time. full ofpromise for the future.

Early this year our much loved and respectedHeadmaster, Mr. Bowden, after failures in hihealth, finally handed over the reins of the Schoolto our new Headmaster. Mr. N. Blackbeard.

hortly after Mr. Blackbeard's assumption ofoffice, our Union had a memorable Old Boy'Dinner at which we were privileged to have pre-sent three senior school Headmasters and onejunior chool Headmaster, which must be a recordfor any of our Old Boys' Dinners. T, as Pre ident.felt a great deal of pride at not only the continuedinterest of these men in the affairs of our Union.but al 0 at the continued high calibre of theleader of our chool.

]n this modern world of change. Wynberg.as all readers will know, is not to be left untouch-ed, and the po . ibility of far reaching changes inthe venue of of tbe chool is now very reaL Weof the Old Boys' Union are following closely andwith great interest the direction and progress ofthe Education Department's moves in thi respect.

1965 has een good rugby at chool, goodcricket. athletics. judo. tenni, and progres in

many other field. It ha alobeen a year in whichthe Old Boys' Union has progre ed to its, 0 far,highe t state of financial independence, a po itionwhich has been brought about not overnight, butas the re uIt of many years of hard work andthought, and the foresight of the early commit-tees of the Union.

We are at present in the proce s of bringingto fruition our long promi ed presentation to theSchool of all-weather tennis courts, and lhe endof this year hould see a further two added tothe one already pre ented by the Union. Thesecourts, with the keen intere t of the Headmasterin tennis, the energy of hi coaches, and the ob-viou ability of the players will, I feel sure, leadto an up urge in Wynberg's tatu as a majortenni playing choot.

This year ha een the tart of, and ha verydefinitely been characterised by, a very close co-operation, perhaps even closer than ever before,between our Union and our School. and this co-operation i omething that enable u to do forthe School the many mall things tbat we a aUnion constitutionally have pledged our elves,and earnestly wish to do.

Owing to the efforts of the Headma ter and mem-bers of the taf1'. the Union's annual member hipof chool-Ieaving tudents is ever on the increaseand we look forward to the day when thi work.tarted by Mr. Bowden, will be brought to the

105

tage where J00% of the School-leaving classwill join the Union automatically and will taywith us permanently as members of their OldBoy' Union.To conclude, L wish to extend my congratula-

tions to those members of the School who. in thepast year, have achIeved prominence in the schol-a tic. cultural and sporting fields. and to tbo emembers of the Union who, building on the foun-dation established at School, have gone out intothe world and made their mark in tbese fieldsand earned for themselves and the Scbool theprai e and position they rightly de erve. I wouldwi h all Old Boys. present Scholars of the School,members of the staff and their families a veryhappy Chri tmas and look forward for them allto a prosperou 1966.At tbe same time J would extend to my com-

mittee my thanks for their energetic and produc-tive work during thj past year.

of us last season. After the Berlin episode heprobably holds the German sprint titles!Earlier in this Section we have referred to Bruce-Brand's award of the C.B.E., and a few notes~egarding his sporting prowt!Ss will be of topicalInterest.

Bruce captained the School cricket team short-ly after we joined Rondebosch, S.A.C.S.. andBishop in a competition named Schools Cham-pionship. This was competed for in the mid-twenties and early thirties. fn the hort period ofit~ establishment Wynberg ju t missed fini hingwinner on three occa ion, one of them Bruce'syear. Contemporaries of his were Dr. StanleyEddy, Gilbert Dyamond, the late Cecil Friedlan-der, Jack Burt, Cyril Sharp and Cyril Youll amongothers. All of the latter later distinguished them-elves in senior cricket, where Jack Burt and CyrilYoull played for Western ProvinceTo his cricketing achievements Bruce added

rugby, and he played for Villagers. In this spherehe was a contemporary of Nick van Oudtshoorn,Mick Myburgh and Eric Bouchet, as weil asthat fine centre-three-quarter. Victor Victor andscrum-half Denis Watson. 'School touring teams to Rhodesia became ac-quainted with him, and on Villager tours manyOld Boy likewise met him when he was ha t tothem as Chairman of the Salisbury Sports Club.To him we tender our most sincere congratula-

tions on yet another notable achievement.The la t occasion that we were repre ented in

Provincial hockey was, as far as we can recall.in the early thirties when Lionel Williams playedfor Western Province and. we think, Tramvaal.Now, after all the e years, we find two Old Boysselected. not for Province, but for W.P. CountryDistricts in the Hockey Tournament. They are R.Bosomworth. who also played for the School Firstxr at cricket, and Peter Pullen, who al 0 playeda prominent part in chool cricket, and later forGreen Point enior side. Stanley Bevan wa alsoa prominent repre entative for Province in thetwenties, and gained di tinction as a test hockeyumpire.

At the time of writing, we are pleased to seeanother two of our younger Old Boys makingtheir footprints in the sporting sands. One isAlistair Thorn, of Bowaters, who has been playingrugby for Tran vaal. He is about to leave for aspell in England with his firm, and while be isthere he hopes to link up with Richmond RugbyClub. The other i Mike Bowditch who has been

promoted to Villager' enior side after a success-ful season la t year in the Under 19 ~ide. Mikehas also played cricket for Western Province.

Bahamas BoundJimmy Cole, after serving briefly at the Port

Elizabeth Branch of Barclay's Bank, was offereda transfer to the Bahamas-and grabbed it beforethe Bank could change its mind. Jn a recentletter he writes: "1 had a very pleasant trip tothe Bahamas, and I spent one day in Nassau be-fore being transferred to Freeport on GrandBahama Island about 120 mile off as au and120 mile east of Florida.Life on this Island i full of interest. Although

it is pretty barren it received a big boost a fewyears ago (concessions from the Government)and is now developing extremely fast. Roads.houses, hotel, hop. etc. are being built all thetime, and there's a great influx of Americantourists attracted by the casino. We work hardat lhe bank because of this. and our staff hastrebled during the last year.r am working in the Foreign Exchange depart-

This was a cutting from the Sunday Tri-bune of 30th May. containing Leyden's Sport-folio on Donald MacDonald, and a cartoon ofhim. Donald's fine record appeared in a recentmagazine, but to recap briefly, be beid tbe W.P.hurdling title for the 120, 220 and 440, and thenational titles for the 120 and 220. He equalledthe S.A. record for the 120 hurdles in 14.1seconds.

FIFTY YEARS ONThe chool Memorial Gates are a tribute to

Old Boys who fell in the First World War. It was50 year ago that the South African contingent'ailed for Europe-50 years ago next year thatthe Battle of Delville Wood was fought.To the younger generation uch names as Yer-

dun. St. Quentin. t. Julien, Hili 60, Hili 62 (Sanc-

tuary Wood), Windy Corner. Hell-fire Corner.Arras, Passchendaele. Mons, The omme andDelville Wood are ome among other which willbe vaguely known. if they are known at all.To the mall number of Old Boys who were

there and who are till with u , the battles whichdragged on in the Ypres aLient in the Provinceof Flander , and which moved into France.awaken memories of horror as they recall aconflict which at times took the staggering tollof 50,000 lives a day on the Western Front alone.Jack Perrow was at Delville Wood. He was one

of the few to survive the holocaust, only to bewounded on 20th eptember. 1917 in the Battleof Ypre , and later invalidated out.

Another was Jack arsten who. after comingthrough Delville Wood, joined the Indjan Army.We are not aware whether there are others.

but there may be two or three more. Half acentury later the Union proudly salutes those OldBoys who participated in the protracted andviolent campaign.

Frank Whitmore MellishDied 21 t Augu t, 1965.Every now and again we noticed the burly

figure of Frank Melli h ju t in ide the MemorialGates at School on a Saturday morning. He wouldwatch the play from thi vantage point below thelarge pines and then troll acro to see what washappening on the further field. Here we wouldchat about chool rugby, and he would enquireabout the prospects of the Under 13's. Very oonit impr ed me that hi interest in thi particularide temmed from the fact that he played hisearliest rugby. in a di tingui hed career. in thejunior ide at Wynberg, for from here he wenton to Rondebo ch and .A. ..

His record i legendary, with appearance forEngland and outh Africa in the ame year at

113

the age of 21. He played for Hamiltons originally-for a cason-and then captained Villagersand We tern Province succes fully in the 1920's.After a distinguished career as a player he con-tinued in an executive po ition, and was a S.A.selector for 30 years and Chairman for everal.In 1951-52 he managed Basil Kenyon's highlyuccessful Springbok side in England which in-cluded so many Ex-Servicemen from World Warrr in which Frank Mellish had served as a Lieut.Colonel in North Africa and Haly. During WorldWar [ he served at Ypres and at the Battleof the Somme. and wa awarded the MilitaryCross.

One could continue the eulogy. The memoryone retains of this famous oldier-sportsman. how-ever. i his enquiry and incere interest in theyoung schoolboys revelling in their rugby at hisAlma Mater.

R_ "Bull" PritchardLike Frank Melli h, "Bul!"' Pritchard wa' ca t in

the ame mould. Of immense trength, this genialgiant of a man was neverthele s a kindly. gentleperson who endeared him elf to both the youngergeneration and the older. He was a rugby playerof note. an athlete and fi herman. Hi love ofthe sea was natural. as he was a powerful swim-mer; and perhap thi a pect of his life made hima legendary figure along the False Bay coa t.for Mr. Pritchard had aved many live fromdrowning. He in hi modest way could not recallthe exact figure. but we believe it totalled twenty.As in war time. when the mo t courageous actsare not ob erved, o. with ea-rescues and atten-dant drama. the reward is seldom recognisedby authority unies the acts are prominentlypublici ed. For this reason 'Bull" Pritchard neverreceived the awards his gallant efforts merited.Perhap he would have preferred it that way!He erved with di tinction in the 1914-18 War.

and in hi later years he was a prominent FishHoek resident and Founder-member of theenior lub where, no doubt, he delighted his

contemporaries with hi anecdotcs.To thousands of vi itor hi lovely garden be-

came a venue to which they flocked when he threwit open to the public. The proceeds derived fromthjs delightful gesture were donated to localcharitie .

We of Wynberg a sociate ourselves with hjmany companions down False Bay way in the lossof a fine, noble and generous man.
