EDITORIAL

Throughout the ages youth has always had to face up to the challengesof the future bolstered by idealism and confidence but devoid of experience.With the onset of age not only do the arteries harden but attitudes tend tosolidify, and the challenge to age is to remain intellectually flexible and notbe bogged down by the customs and habits of the past. The scenario to thisconflict of ideals and ideas is popularly called the generation gap.

It is virtually impossible for youth to be tolerant towards the foibles andfailings of age, while it is supremely difficult for age to countenance theexuberant iconoclasm of the young. Imagination and intelligently appliedexperience on the part of those long in years can to a certain extent bridgethe gap between the generations, but this requires a degree of sensitivityand imagination that is seldom found in those of any age. And generationgaps also appear in youth, dividing for instance the teenagers from those inthe late twenties.

The conviction that the modern youth is feckless and decadent is a tokenthat decrepitude has set in, often prematurely, while the obsession of youththat it has all the answers is a sign of extreme immaturity. Scipio Africanusheld that the long-haired Roman young men were decadent and that the futurefor Rome was dark indeed. The subsequent glories of the Roman Empireproved him wrong. Chairman Mao's confidence in the Red Guard as custo-dians of the revolutionary spirit had swiftly to be revised when the ravagesof impetuosity soon proved that youth without experience was wrecking theday-to-day routine administration of government.

Affluence has its problems as well as advantages, and present-day youthhas an ample share of both. On the debit side, entertainment comes too easilynowadays. Most of it is canned, laid on, ready to hand, ear and eye, andcontrasts sharply with the past when much had to be self-provided.

Modern youth is more orientated to change than its predecessors. Thespeed of change accelerates with each passing year, life's tempo growsfaster, and what was a scientific myth or fantasy yesterday is now an acceptedpart of routine living, and does not raise a headline or even an eyebrow.

Political, social and economic African conditions are in the historicalmelting pot, and we in South Africa are very close to the swirling vortex ofrapid change and innovation. The South African youth of today will be theplanners and administrators of tomorrow and, unless they are aware of theimmense problems looming in the present and shimmering in the future, theyin turn, when the time comes, will not be sufficiently Imaginative and inventiveto cope with rapidly changing situations, and their children and grandchildrentoo will complain about the mess their world has been left in.

Q)hituary

MR. WILL CLEGG

With the pa ing of Will legg ended an era in lhe history of Wynberg. Althoughthi chool can trace it lineage ao;;far back a 1841 and proudly claims to be the secondolde t chool in South Africa. conceding priorily onl to .A.C.S., the foundation ofthe hool in it modern, flouri hing form wa. laid during Ihe tenure of Will and LucyClegg. The truggle and fru tration of that formati e period. the patience to cope withdepartmental inertia, Ihe imaginalion and initiati e 10 pbn ahead. the determination tokeep on trying de pile the tra ail and di,appointment Ihat often accompanied theirefforts. make a tory of elfle' 'er ice to the chool in particular and lhe communityin general.

Mr. Clegg. a native Lanca trian, came to outh Africa in 1912. A science graduateof Manche ter ni er ity. he joined the Wynberg taff in 1915 a a mathematic andcienee teacher. Four year later he wa appointed headma ter, a position which heoccupied until hi retiremenl in 1947.

When he took over the choo!. which lhen in luded both the senior and juniorection , the number of pupil wa le than 300. The chool building Ihem elves leftmuch to be desired. while Ihe condition' in the ho tel were primiti e. uch was theeuing for Ihe young headmaster and hi wife at the out et of their career: they werenot only tarting from ratch but \ ere al 0 heavil handicapped.

Fortunately Ihe legg' palent affection for each other ~ a matched by theirmutual dedication to the ta.k confronting them: their irtue and qualities were com-plementary. They contributed a dignity to the cho I which carried through to theWynberg illage. elting a lOne which i till e ident among the older Old Boy oftheir generation. They were ,dway~ enthu ia ,tically intere ted in everything pertainingto the choo!. the village and e peciall Ihe growing number of Old Boy.

Throughout hi period of retIrement Mr. legg wa eldom ab ent from anyimportant chool and Old Boys' function. and he soon wa recogni ed a an eldertale man. a father figure. by the yuunger generation of past and pre ent pupil. whobecame accu tomed to be entertained and in.lructed hy hi hort, pithy peeches andrandom comment and ob er ation' made in general conversation.

Like a good wine. he mellO\ ed with age. To the Old Boy and the Staff, tho ewho erved under him and those who later met him at school galhering . he will alwayremain a warm per onalilY, a ource of afl'ectionate anecdote, the po e or of a dryand kindly humour, and the gi er of wdl- ea oned advice. Old Boy' functions will notbe the ame without him. To manv he epitomi ed Wynbo::rg: hi contact with tbe schoolranged 0 er two generation, and hi. contribution wa corre pondingly great.

While Mr. legg coped succe' fully with the manifold problem of chool routine,Mr. legg. in her domain, the ho<;te!. el a . tandard eldom reached by "hou e-mother "anywhere. be oon e tabli hed a repuIalion for warm and compa ionate under tandingof boy', their difficultie and a piration , combined ""ith a trict but friendly control.The tandard he instilled into her ward were high ,nd her expectation rarelyunreali ed. The affection and re peel he in 'pi red in both taff and pupil proved ala ting te timony to her firm but ~ympathetic handling of an institution which came tobe con idered by her boy a their" econd home".

During their early period. M r. and Mr. legg formed a happy and fruitful a ocia-tion with Ir. . Friedlander. M.P. " a prominent member of the School Committee.who eintere t. ability and influence had far-reaching. fa ourable effect on the chool'de tiny. For nearly 40 year he contributed to the school' ucce a a committeemember, parent and generou friend. In particular hi as i tance in the purcha ing ofthe "Fair eat ground", now known a the Field, wa con iderable on the admini trative

·ide. while the legg' and their staff attended to the con equent financial commitmentsfor many year. organi ing numerou fête., bridge-drive and other fund-rai ing chemeto meet the annual interest on the bond and to e tabli h a inking fund for the ultimatepurchase and le elling off of the ground. Eventually this additional field became oneof the most preciou a eL of our expanding choo!.

A de cri pt ion of Lhe legg hou ehold \ ould not be complete without reference toFreddIe, the faithful family friend and retainer. He entered their er ice at the age of13 and ha been with them ever ince, er ing them both \ ith loving care and devotion.

Loyalty wa hi hall-mark. and he went about hi dutie with a quiet, una uming,methodical efficiency which to the di c('rning became strikinglyapparent despite hirelative unobtru ivene. '. Freddie became an in tituton in hi own right and endearedhim elf to all with whom he came in contact.

For many year Will and Luc Clegg bore the burden and heaL of Lhe periodimmediately prior to the time when, for many and vari d rea on ,the chool beganto expand rapidly, becoming one of the leading school. in the ape. Without their toiland effort the foundation for ,uch future ucce would not have been laid.

Although he did not share directly in thi ucce. Mr legg Jived to ce hi planmateriali e and to receive the appreciation and plaudits of those who recogni ed thevalue of hi work.

Will Clegg erved Wynberg well: we \ ill remember him.Eric Ta ker.

®bitURl'!JMR. BILL BOWDEN

Bill Bowden left hi imprint on two chool'. Queen's and Wynberg. and hi memory\ ill alway linger in the conversations and n:mini cences of hi pa t colleague and theOld Boy of both chool .

He wa a man of many accompli. hment -an imaginati e and succe ful teacher,an out Landing athletic and cricket coa h. a brilliant peaker and raconteur. an energeticadmini trator, an innovator who e keen intere t and encouragement often timulatedmany of his taIT to experiment with new idea. venture and technique. He had wide-r:lnging intere t outside the confine of cbool life, I! peciall in the art, drama, operaand ballet, a well a a keen in ight into many pha e, of port.

After attending the local Preparator_ chool, he came up to Queen' College,where he matriculated in 1920. winning Lhe Bailey Bur ary. He graduated at RhodeUni er it ollege and. in 19_-+. obtained a fir t-cla pa s in the Higher Diploma ofEducation.

In January 1925 he wa appointed to the taff of hi old choo!. where he upheldits proud tradition. made the name or Queen' famou~ in the world of athletic, andproved to be an excellent teacher, particularly in mathematic. He will be long remem-bered at Queen's ollege for hi ervice both in the la room and on the field of port.

In 1940 he obtained milit.lry lea e and soon wa erving in orth Africa with the4th .A. Armoured ar Regiment. which had the di tinction of being seconded to the7th Armoured Brigade ("Dc ert Rats"), the mo t colourful and famou of the Briti hbrigade in the North African campaign. At the crucial battle of El Alamein it waA Squadron of the 4th .A. rmoured ar, led by Major W. E. Bowden, econd-in-command of the regiment, that was the fir t to break through the enemy line andub equently to play an important part in the tactic that evcnuall turned the tideagain t Rommel. He wa mentioned in de patche three lime '. 'I a awarded the Militaryro and. but for the fa t that :tll record were lo t whcn Tobruk feil. would al. 0 have

recei cd the D .. 0., for which he had been recommended.

5

When the outh frican troop~ were \ ithdrawn from North Africa. Major Bowden.much again t his inclination. wa. appointed Director of Armoured Training at Kaffir -kraal and at Potchef troom. Early in 1945 he managed to per ua de the authoritie thathe wa uited to a more active part in the pro~e ution of the war and was immediately'ent to Europe with a mi ion to trace mis ing outh African prisoner -of-war. Aftera year in England. Belgium. Fmnce and Germany he returned to South Africa. wherehe resumed hi interrupted teaching career.

Mr. Bowden wa appointed Headma ter of Wynberg Boy' High chool in 1948, apo ition which he held until hi retirement in 1964. Hi impact on both the boy andthe taff wa~ immediately e ident. He had an exceptonal talent for encouraging tho e\ ith whom he came in cont ..ct, under tanding their difficultie . giving cri pand well-informed ad\ ice. creating confidence in t.he diffident and stimulating the self-a ured.Abo e all he had an innate kindlines . consideration and humanity in dealing witheveryone. e pecially those who occupied humble positions

During hi tenure at thi 'chool he conceived and guided many far-reaching. cheme . 'U h a the con tru tion of the wimming bath. the erection of the MemorialPa ilion, Liniewood Hou e and eten 'ion to chool building. the inking of two borehole. the financial planning behind the pre'ervation and upkeep of the chool fieldand the laying of three turf wicket. Il wa al. 0 during the Bowden era that there wa.a harp ri e in the enrolment and an exp~ n. ion of subject in the curriculum. Wynbergrose to the ~tatus of a really po~ erful choot.

On the provincial administrative level Mr. Bowden enjoyed a high reputation, beinga member of the W.P. School.' ricket nion Executive ommiltee, and wa for manyyear their repre entative on the W.P. ricket nion. It was mainly owing to hi effortthat Wynberg Boy' High chool wa permitted lO enter the w.r. Men' econd League.thu gaining equal tatu with Diocc an College and Rondebo ch in the cricket world.

Mr. Bowden oon reali cd that the chool building were too mall to cope withfuture expan ·ion. and arrangeu fur influential Provincial Councillor. particularlyNorman Hen.hilwood and Catherinc Taylor. to vi'it the chool. in peet the building.and ce the overcrowded classroom. With their upport. and after a long. hard fight.he not only got the new buildings (including Littiewood Hou e) but also obtained theadditional upper field.

In 19 0 he encouraged the planning of the fir t tour ever embarked upon b aWynberg choolleam. the 1 t . which travelled to the E:: tern Province and Border.Once fre h ground had been broken a ucce ion of tour in the ariou port followed.preading the choor name and enhancing its reputation.

He was much intere ted in the cultural ide of school life, and during hi timemany excellent play' were produced by the enior chool Dramatic ociety. A elo eliai on wa maintained with Mr. Lorie·. chool Orche tra, which was a blend of Seniorand Junior chool pupil and Old Boy.

He often championed the cau e of the le fortunate, and a i tcd in the attemptedrehabilitation of tho e who had offended oeiety. He ~ ould help any eau e that he feltwas de erving. He had an unwa ering loyalty to tho e who worked for him and totho e he cared for. Broad in hi outlook. he wa devoid of smallne and meanne , andhad an implicit faith in the hone.ty and integrity of hi fellow-men.

He wa a port man in every en e of that term and attached more value to the~pirit rather lhan the letter of the law of any game. He communicated thi ideal toboth hi coaches and player. and hi reputation wa high in the many extra-muralport committee on which he cr ed.

Perhap the mo t fitting and revealing evidence of Bill Bowden' worth and popu-larity wa the fact that on two ccasions the Old Boy' nion brought him down fromRhode ia to speak at the Old Boy' Dinner. Tho e who attended tho e function willremember the impact he made on his audience. and can te tify that as Jong a thereare taff and Old Boys who were at Wynberg during hi time. so long will hi memoryremain fre"h and undimmed.

THE WYNBERG FREE SCHOOL

We all know that the Wynberg Boy.' chool (now the High and Junior School)wa founded in 1841 and i the econd aide t school in the Republic. But not manypeople know that there wa a ~chool in Wynberg. known as the Wynberg Free Schooi.,ome twenty year earlier.

M r. Roger oodwin. a former \ B.H .. pupil and now head of the Hi toryDepartment at elborne College. Ea t London. unearthed an intere ting relic of thatearlier chool-it account book and regi ter among the record of SI. John' Churchin Bathur I. Mr. Blackbeard i ited the church. in peeted the volume and asked thatmo t enthu ia tic of Old Boy. Mr. Townley Johnson, to photograph several page. Anextract from M r. Goodwin' letter read a follows:

"While conducting a party of boy. on an historical excur ion in the Bathur tdistrict I came upon an old volume among. t the record of I. John' Church inBathur t. It i entitled The ccount Book for Wynberg Free choor. lt i datedeptember 22nd. 1823. and tate that the chool wa opened on 5th November. 1822

under the direction of Chaplain William Wright. The name of the choalma ter waicbola Gilbie (or Gillie?). who apparently moved to Bathur t to e tabli h achaal

there and continued to u e the same volume for hi account book and regi ter.

"I canned the li. t of names of the Wynberg period to ee if any old Wynbergname were pre ent ... but one name th:ll did cern to ring a bell wa that of Titterton.There were. of course. everal common names that could have cropped up anywhere.

"lt occurred to me that member of old Wynberg familie might like to know ofthe exi tence of thi document even to the extent that they may come to vi it SI. John'when pa ing through thi area:'

In a ub equent letter. Mr. Goodwin gave the name and addre of the cu lodianof the e record: r. G. Bri coc. "Thai a a". Bathur I.

STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN UNIONChairman: K. 'utton.Secretary: A. Coltham.Treasurer: C. Montgomery.

Our aims for 1975 were in lhe first place to eek to lead our fellow- tudent intoa wholehearted acceptance of the Christian faith in God the Father, on and HolySpirit. and then to aid and encouragt: them in the living oul of their faith a truedi ciples of the Lord Je us Christ: and secondly to eek to deepen the piritual experi-ence of profe ing Chri lians in the. chool through earne t study of the Word of God.

The meeting held during the year were all arranged with the e aim in view andthe re UIISwere very. ati. factory indeed. A drop in the average attendance was a bitdisappointing, but was more than compensated for by the warm atmosphere and sincerespirit of the meetings. We now gather at both hort and long break on Tue days andThur days, and would like to take thi opportunity of once more a uring you of awarm welcome in our mid t

We enjoy addre e from a variety of peaker. on topic' touching all a pect ofthe Chri tian faith as it applies to the young person today. ome rea Ily out tandingfilm were shown during 1975, and tbe e screening enjoyed large attendance. We feelure that the me age which they brougbt found a lodging place in many young heart.

Ju t thi term we tarted "cell groups" which we hope will encourage more per onalBible tudy. mali gTOUp di u and share their view on a pecific eetion of tbeWord. The group are following a cour e of tudy outlined in the Scripture Union'excellent book: "Following Chri t".

The S.U. combined with the girl' school and held a camp at Froggy Pond whichwa a great ucce . Another camp i lo be arranged for later thi term and we tru tthat it will alo prove a time of bIe ing and piritual refre hment.

Our thanks go to Mr. Matthew for the u e of hi cia room and to Mr. 81ackbeardfor his intere t and co-operation in all our effort.

DEBATING SOCIETYPresidel1l: Mr. D. G. Watkins.Chairman: Derrick Fine.Secretary: Theodore Yach.COll1mittee: Brian JotTe, John Feiteion.

An excellent tart was made to 1975 and member hip cards were handed out atthe early meetings. the total membership being approximately 70. However, thi numberha dwindled somewhat in the third term mainly due to an incon istent attendance bythe day boys. There has been very loyal support from tbe boarder throughout the yearand they certainly set a fine example in tbis re peet.

Learning bow to address an audience i extremely important, and the DebatingSociety endeavours to provide boys with fhi opportunity. Taking this into account,it is amazing that thi ociety i apathetically rejected by so many in the schoolcommunity!

In order to involve all members in our activitie we have held a large number ofinternal meeting. Formal debate, forum discus ion and off-the-cuff peaking e ionhave been held. The e have included a tandard Six Debate and further New Speaker'Debates.

A vital aspect in any debate is the contribution one receive from the floor. Inencouraging boy to join the Debating Society we have alway said: "When speakingit doesn't matter if you tutter or repeat something-we are all human and capableof making error ". It ba been extremely rewarding to note that more and more pupilsare tanding up and speaking.

Our external activitie have been quite varied in nature. A panel con i ting ofBrian Joffee, John Feite! on. Theo Yach, Michael Lewi and Derrick Fine took partin the Inter chool Forum Di cu ion Competition, held at the Wynberg Girls' School.We were beaten into third place in the ix- chool contest.

Three very uccessful debate were held against Springfield Convent, Ellerslie Girls'High and Cape Town High. Just-a-minute e ions were held after these meetings andwere enjoyed by all. There wa ,for ome reason, a harp ri e in attendance for theabove-mentioned meetIng, particularly the first two. The following repre ented theschool in tbe edebates: Theodore Yach, Brian Joffee, John Feiteion. Greg Bing.Andrew Hubbard, Neil Hinricbson, Owen Roger and Derrick Fine.

A Masters-School Debate wa beid in the third term. Tbe topic under di ::us ionwas: "The youth of today i superior to the youth of ye terday". The taff team.con i ting of Me r. Tasker, Bro ter and Harri , narrowly defeated the school team.compri ing John Feiteion, Theo Yach and Derrick Fine, who propo ed the motion.

AI 0 scheduled for the remainder of 1975 are the Annual Old Boys' Debate, aBe t peaker' Debate and at lea t two further meeting with other cbool.

The committee would like to thank Mr. Watkins for hi most enthu iastic supportand advice. incere tbank to Mr. Connellan for the loan of his lecture theatre andto Mr. Blackbeard for hi intere t and co-operation. We are alo grateful to Mr. Parkinand the otber ma ter wbo attended our meeting on occasions. Thank also to Mr.Broeker and "his team" for organising chair and table when nece ary. and to theboarding hou e for providing coffee.

Finally we would like to thank all tho e who supported the Debating Societyduring 1975 and we tru t that you found it to be a rewarding experience.

'Tho e wbo tried to create theory out of facts never understood that it was onlytheory that could con titute them as fact in the fir t place" (Gareth Stedman Jones,1972).

A Hi torical Society wa founded for the first time this year. Mo t of tbe hi torypupils ha e shown interest in this cultural activity and therefore it has proved to be anenormou success.

Films were hired in order to increase interest in history. Most of the titles wererelevant to lhc! various syllabi and thu enhanced both the subject and the di ciplineof hi tory. The film hown included "From Kai er to Fuehrer", "Mus olini", "FromTsar to Stalin". "Over There' (a film on the Fir t World War), "Ben Gurion" and adocumentary on the pani h Civil War. The erie which proved the mo t succe fulreviewed the J 960 American Pre idential Campaign.

ln the first quarter the schoor hi tory cia es visited Parliament on succes iveWedne day afternoons and an insight into the intricacie of Parliament was gained.

A veteran of the 1915 South African campaign came to talk to the Matric andspoke intere tingly about hi experience and condition under which the campaignwa fought.

Eight pupil and Me r. Baxter and Greenwood trekked to the Cedarberg for aweekend in April. Bushmen painting, Voortrekker waggons and old huts were studied.The party then hiked down to tbe Winkelhart Ri er in tbe canyon below. Jt was enjoyedby all and it i hoped that more excur ion of this nature will take place. Excur ionand di cu sions of this nature certainly prove more beneficial than t.he ometimeunreali tic clas room situation.

I am ure that the Hi torical ociety will continue to function as an importantorgan of the cultural activitie of W.B.H .. next year.

CHESS CLUBAt the beginning of the year Mr. van Vuuren took over a master in charge from

Mr. Frauenknecht. Over 30 boy took p:lrt in thi year' chool champion hip. whichwa won for the third year running by A. Blencowc. However, member hip and interestdropped off a the year proceeded and \ e were able to field only two teams in theSchool' Ches League. The fir t team wa extremelv erratic. After winning our fir ttwo matche again t Jan van Riebeeck B (8-2) and' Rondebo ch C (9-1). we ratherdi appointingly drew against S.A.C.S. B (5-5). This wa followed by our fir t defeatof the ea on by Rondebo ch A (4-6). but we inflicted the only defeat on the eventualwinner of tbe ection, We terford A (6--4). Tbi wa the fir t time a Wynberg teamhad managed to defeat We terford A. We narrowly beat Pineland A (6-4). and tben,playing very poorly, went down to .A... (4-6). Thi probably de troyed all chanceswe had of qualifying for the Cbampion 'hip ection. [n the la t match of the qualifyingsection we defeated Groote chuur comfortabl by 8 points to 2. We ended up fourthin our ection and 0 failed to qualify for the champion hip by 2 points.

In lhe econd term we defeated the powerful Ri hops A team (6-4), but then wentdown to ape Town High B team (3-7).

The econd team wa very weak!.hi year and came la t in their qualifying ection.The fir I team, in board order, i A. Blencowe, J. Feiteion, Leon Gold tein,

SCHOOL LIBRARYDuring this year we tried to achieve the main aim of the library, which i the

integration of the knowledge a ailable in the library with that of other ubjects taughtin the choo!. It i heartening to ee that the library i put to full u e (io some subjects)for reference and re earch. I feel, however, that tbi could be extended to most if notall ubject.

In tandards 6, 7 and 8 a tart" as made tbi year with book: education. Althoughthi wa not very popular with the boy, it is a mean of teaching them to help them-.el es to find the information they need.

The new book purcha ed were weil received. Il is good to ee that a large numberof the book taken out were non-fiction. An innovation tbi year wa the library'ub cription to two daily new paper -the e are avidly read.

Two new di play board have helped to make the library more intere ting. omeof the di play were done by the boy them elve .

Finally, a word of thank to tbe library prefect. Although there j' not muchpre tige attached to thi ervice, they were neverthel prepared to help. I hope thatin the future more enior boy will maJ...ethem el e available for thi .

SAILINGWynberg ha once again been well rcpre ented in the variou ailing events of

1975 and has carried off mo t of the prizes.In the Western Province Dabchick hampion hip, ailed in very trong winds at

Zandvlei. our Greg Davi in hi beautiful boat-which wa actually built a a wood-work project here at the .chool ailed away from a fleet of 30 boat and won hand-omely with Michael Vulliamy coming in si.xth.

He did a repeat performance at wart lei during the Eastern Province champion-hip and wa followed over the line by his brother. Michael, who gained a verycreditable econd place.

Next came the National at Hartebeespoorl Dam, and our ailor went north tomeet the be t competition which the R.. A. could produce. Once more they gave a verygood account of them elve to gain econd place (M. ulliamy) and eighth place(G. Da i ). The e place were gained in a fleet of over 63 boat!

In the larger Extra la we have also had a good ea on. The Fro tbite Regattaat Zandvlei wa won b G. Da i with Clifford Olivier coming in ixth in a fleet ofome 24 boats.The National Champion hp for thi class were sailed in Fal e Bay inconditions varying from ery trong wind to light air. In a fleet of over 50 boatsLeslie John ton came home ninth! Well done!

Michael Vulliamy ha ju t returned from Scotland, where he and J. Bongers (anex-R.B.H.S. pupil) took part in the 1.Y.R.U. World Youth Champion hip at Larg .The ix races were sailed in 420' and our boy did very well to fini h eventh overallin the fleet of 23 boat repre enting a. many countrie .

THE INTER-SCHOOL REGATTAThe Annual Inter-School event i a gala day and one of the mQ t popular occa ion

in the ,ailing calendar. Thi year no fewer than 95 boats, entered by 32 teams from72 school . took part.

The favourites were the trophy defender. Rondebo ch. with ti e teams in the race.S.A.C.S. and We terford, with three team each, al 0 repre ented a force to be reckonedwith. including, a they did. one or two of the top skippers sailing to-day.

None of the e factor affected our morale and a trong pirit of optimi m prevailedon the preceding Friday afternoon when we sailed off a series of trial to decide positionin the 1st and 2nd team. We all agreed that, on paper, we had the winning team-theonly problem wa that no paper large enough could be found and the race would beailed on the wide, windy and wet expan e of Zeekoevlei !

On race day we were able to muster five team. With many novices taking partthe starter had a fru trating time trying to get the 90-odd boat over the line together.but Geoff Myburgh handled it with his usual efficiency, and after two recall managedto get the fleet away in one of the be t start we've een in thi event. There was. infact, not a single prote t after the race which involved an incident at the tart.

Our I t team. con isting of Michael Vulliamy, Greg Davis and Mark Gibbon.got off to a good tart and immediately began pulling clear of the melee of tackingboats making their way up to the windward mark. Vulliamy wa first round the markwith Davi clo e behind. but as they turned to run downwind it was Davis who tookover the lead. Gibbons came round in about ninth po ition at this stage. There wastill a long way to go, but the e dozen or 0 boat would retain their position aheadof the main body of the fleet for lhe re. t of lhe race. Davi and Vulliamy were in thelead throughout, and although racing as a team did not pull any punches in theirindividual tu. le for line honour. Unfortunately. Davi touched another competitor alhey were rounding lhe econd la t mark and wa obliged lo make a 720' turn abouthimself before conlinuing. This dropped him back ome four place and he wa onlyable to fini h fifth. But for thi we would have definitely got fir tand econd place.Nonethele ,Mark Gibbon wa well up in upport, having overtaken a few boat, andour 1st team won the coveted team prize, with individual placing a follows:

I t. M. Vulliamy: 5th, G. Davi : 7th, M. Gibbon.Our 2nd team fini hed in fourth po ition with the other three team weU spread

out among the remaining positions.

WESTERN PROVINCE EXTRA CHAMPIONSHIPS (S·ENIOR)The champion hips were sailed in very trong wind over the long weekend at the

beginning of September on Zeekoevlei.Forty-one boat entered, including the .A. ational hampion and the runner-up

in the S.A. Champion hip.All credit therefore lo Greg Davi . who wa the overall winner and i thus our

W.P. Champion in thi cia . Two other Wynberg boys were well placed-Le lieJohnstone taking fifth position, Gavin Bruce ixth, and Geoff John tone eventh.

The e are excellent performance if one con ider that they were ailing in theenior Champion hips again t the stronge t oppo ition the Province can provide!

CADET BANDOnce again the Cadet Band ha had a very bu y year. We lost a number of members

at the end of 1974 and had to find replacements for even bugler. three trumpetersand four drummer and the drum-mHjor-more than half the band, in fHct. In additionto training all the e new recruit we had a full programme of public appearance tocomplete.

During the fir t term the band played for the tellen bosch Univer ity Rag. Wealso had lhe honour of playing for the Cape Field Artillery at the parade marking theopening of the Cape Town Fe tival. Thi meant leading a parade which included allthe regiment with the Freedom of the City.

The band al.o played for variou film premieres-which helped to well the bandfund.

In view of the large number of new member we had doubt about our chancesfor the W.P. Command adet Competition. Howe er. from the tart of the third termwe began a period of inlen ive practice before school. during break and after choolunder the expert guidance of Maj Goode. We held a camp at the Wynberg CommandoH.Q. during the week-end before the competition and the result of all thi effort wereclearly demon trilled at Goodwood. Our band wa by far the best of tho e competing-a profe ional 'ound compared with amateur.

Re uit obtained ~ ere:First. overall;M.. du Toit Trophy for the best music played:Andre Crou was the be tide-drummer:Ali tair Walker the be t ba' -drummer;Deon Joubert econd in the 010 trumpet competition;tephen Fay econd in the 010 bugling:Paul Tate and Chri topher Ander on econd in the competition for tenor-

drummer ;Derek Fay third in the competition for drum-major.

Many people contributed to our ucce . Fir tly, the boys who gave up so manybreak and 0 much of their free time after choot. Then the parent who pent a greatdeal of time preparing uniform. helping with tran port, lending their upport andegging on tardy choolmaster . We very much appreciate the effort of Maj. Goode.who was re ponsible for the high tandard reached with the mu ic and eemed morenervou than anyone el e on the d3y of the competition. Thank al 0 to Sgt.-Maj.Coon of Young field for his intere t and effort in improving the tandard of our drill.We 3re aJ 0 very grateful to Cmdt. Heunis of Wynberg Comm3ndo for allowing theu e of bis facilities for our camp and also to the Pri ons Department for their paradeground.

FROM STANDARD 6 TO 10 IN FIVE EASY STAGES

T remember well the day they cameto Standard ix. to reap the fameof learning in a chool so proud,they felt that they must shout aloudHow really hard they would endeavourto make their work and port a plea. ure.

And into tandard Seven they wenttill infused with enthu ia tic bentto show the wonder they could dowith Maths and cience and Commerce too,but lowly as the year went bythe flame of ardour were to die.

"All thi homework wa rather 'illy.could make a chap a screaming Willie.Rather relax and the teacher bluff.before the exam i time enoughto quickly wot a thing or twoju ot a long a we crape through."

At this point they made their blunder.their thinking proce s rent a under.and on the day they were to writecould not distinguish Idt from right.Their little addlepated brainwere choked and clogged like dirty drain

ome went on 10 Standard Eightbut others remained. so ad to relate.in tandard even. A horrible thought:"Wc could have got through with a little more \ ot."Tho e who were lucky to make their passebegan playing around like proverbial a e.

tandard Eight they went through on the run."Much le work now, much more funis our idea how chool hould be-gay and happy and ea y and free.Our teachers' plea to work and to toil-it's enough to make a fellow boil."

Now that they are one year olderand daily growing ery much bolder-"We've now reached tandard Nine for ureand a grown-up pupils are very mature.Revise, rcvi e i a lot of piffle,our ma ters talk uch meaningle drivel.

31

So all year long they talked like men.how hard they'd work in Standard Ten,little knowing what fate had in torethat many would be in nine one year more.Ti very true that ome craped throughby the Grace of God and the Headma ter too.

Jn a very h0rt space the time will arriveto achieve the goal for which they must trive.A pas in Matric should be their aim,but they're acting till. like the blind and the lame.Revi ing and working a linie can bein their first term in Ten they're all quite at ea.

Even the Prefects, 0 mart and efficient.are acting as they were mentally deficient.Those of our enior who don't eem to worrycome the end of the year they are going to feel sorrythey blocked up their ears to that real freaked-out lotthe ma ter. the teacher. the poor misled clot.

ow at long la. t they've all een the lightand are triving to pa with main and with might.Gone are the thought that work 0 meticulouwa carrying thing from ublime to ridiculou .and each is at work with a consuming pas ionas if it were something that was going out of fashion.

The year have come and gone. alas.and I mu t admit I taught thi cia .The amount they have learned in the en uing yeari omething each blighter now jolly well fears.Neverthele ,I've enjoyed them. you ee,that happy-go-lucky mob in 10 .

MENSE WAT EK NOOIT SAL VERGEET NIE

Men e wat ek nooit sal vergeet nie is dié wat ek in my koollewe ontmoet het.'ommige het ek twaalf jaar geken en ander net ses maande.

Mnr. Arnold Lorrie is 'n man wat ek nog baie goed onthou en vir wie ek nog bangi as ek hom buite die skool ontmoet. Ek onthou hoe hy elke pouse y gekookte eierin 'n geel eierkelkie ge it en eet het. Sy eerste en y laaste woorde aan my wa "Buk!"

Nog 'n onderwyer wat ek baie goed kan onthou. is mnr. H ... R ... Onder diéman wa on klas e di ipline die wak te ooit. Dié van ons wat in die agter te bankegesit het, het om onder die banke op die vloer ge it en ons toebroodjie geëet. Anderhet net ge laap.

oudat ek vir nog 'n jaar in die kool is, het ek baie tyd om oor my ou klasmaatste dink. Een aan wie ek baie dink. i "Clarenee" Kirkwood. Hy wa een van dienaaksste eun wat ek ooit geken het. Alhoewel hy 'n bietjie van 'n lafaard was, bethy 'y eie wil gehad. A hy iet wou ê, het hy dit gesê. Hy het daarvan gehou om 'nhoed te dra en hy het een gedra, alhoewel baie eun hom geterg het.

Daar i baie ander onderwyer wat ek nog goed kan onthou. Sommige het nievan my gehou nie, en ek ook nie van hulle nie. maar ek kan hulle nie vergeet nie.

ly kla maats kan ek die be te onthou Men e 00 harie Percy wat elke pou ein die kleedkamer gaan rook het. mense 00 "Errol" Hele wat nooit y hare gekamhd nie en altyd na knoffel geruik het. Hierdie men e al ek nooit vergeet nie.

Men e i baie eienaardig, hulle bou baie daarvan om te glo wat hulle lees. Ashulle iet vantevore iewer gelees het. glo hulle dit. Baie men e lee die daaglik ekoerante om uit te vind wat die jong te nuu oor ekere men e i of om uit te ind watin die wêreld van die politiek aangaan.

Men e weel nie of dil waar is of nie en moel du maar alles glo. Soms i die artikelnel 0 hier en daar verkeerd, maar baie keer word daar baie on in geskryf. Partykeerlees on een slorie in 'n Engel e koerant en 'n ander slorie in 'n Afrikaanse koerant,maar eintlik wa dit die elfde torie. Die krywer van die artikels het baie invloed opdie mense en on word baie mi lei.

Die koerante kan du 'n goeie of 'n 'Iegle invloed op die mense hê. Daar is 'ngroot verskil tu en die Engel e en Afrikaan e koerante en over a wat ek kan oordeel,is die Afrikaan e koerante baie meer akkuraat a die Engelse koerante. Nou kry diever, killc!nde mense twee verskillende tories. Die Engel e men e kry 'n groot opgeblaa de"torie Olel die krywer e eie gevoelen en die Engel e glo dit en tem aam met diekoerdnt alhoewel dil om 'n klomp gemor i. Aan die ander kant kry die Afrikaan emense die waarheid en hulle weet baie keer wat eintlik aangaan.

Die probleem is nie net hier in ons land nie, maar ook oor ce waar die Kommuniste'n groot te klomp twak oor uid-Afrika kryf. HuUe vertel almal van die groot probleemwat on het. wat nie heeltemal waar i nie, instede van na hulle eie land te kyk en daartc sicn wat 'n groot gemor hulle in i . Engeland kinder die hele tyd van ons, maarhulle hel self ulke groot probleme. Die grootste probleem i die koerante wat volstorie is en die men e die verkeerde informa ie gee en 'n heeltemal verkeerde voor-,telling aan die men e gee.

Koerante het 'n groot invloed op men e. maar dit word ongelukkig misbruik.T. BrUmmer, lOA.

DOWN OUR STREET

At one time or other you mu t have walked pa tour treet on your way to alle.from work, giving it ju t a glance or perhap .. not even eeing it. It i di tingui hed bythe thick J'ed pole, wilh chain running through them, which tand guarding the entranceof our cul-de- ac and of which, I might add, 1 am very proud. The road itself i like ablack footprint with two houses on either side and one at the front. The five hou e areall the .ame, although ome are in war. e condition than other. They all have rustyiron roof which cover four cracking, whitewa hed wall. They al a have mall" toep"on which each family gather al du k ju t before uppertime. "Oupa" Fatima' grand-father, always sits on their" toep" from early in the morning to late in the evening.ometimes I go over with Fatima and we li ten to his torie. The stories go lowly.ow and then he pau e to light his old black pipe and then, with the blue haze hanging

in the air, he again half CIa e hi milky eyes and continue. Fatima's father i a tbinman who i u ually out of the hou.e: her mother i big and round and very kind. Sbealohas four brothers and lWO i ters whom we hardlyever lice.

The other people in the treet are my teriou characters who exist but are nolimport:.!nt and ju t drift around, not affecting me at all. So it's ju t Fatima and I wboplay in our street the whole day long and ometime , when we can get a cent or two,go down to Abdulla' Ca h Store where we pend hal[ an hour or so deciding whallo buy. We don't notice the lime becau e of Ihe crowd and the thumping of the juke-box and the clacking noi e' of the pinball machine in Ihe one corner, with it multi-coloured winking lighl.

Laler, aftel we have strolled back [rom Ihe hop afler enjoying our Iwo cent'worth of jelly babie , and we reach Fatima's hou e. her molher come running out to",cold her for not coming in for upper. This i exactly whal happened today. So, nowI am alone, ju t me, but I don't mind.

On the pavemenl where] am itting I can ju t ee the sun peeking over the ru tyroof. The cemenl i till warm again t my leg and in the gutter my toes are playinghide and eck in the and. In a hazy dream I don', even hear the older boy' screamof laughter a they play. occer in the streel. All I can feel i the warm un and thesand between my toe,

BOREDOM CAN BE COSTLYThe ea murmured oftly. occa ionally a small wave would build up and roU in

till it hit the rocky base of the ligbthouse where it would separate then carry on till ithit the hore where it di olved into ripple.

The man lifted his head and groped for hi watch. He squinted at the time andgrunted, for he wa late again. He stretched and reached for hi trou er and stood up,and after putting them on walked out onto the rocky outcrop. The cold mist swirledround him, making him hiver. He tood watching the cold grey sea, but a flash caughthi eye and reminded him of hi duty. Turning, he made for the door and startedclimbing the circular tairway leading up to the top of tbe lightbou e. He breathedheavil., his body wa unu ed to exercise. Cursing the stairs, he reached the top andpaused to take breath, then opening the control box he urveyed the array of witches.

Fir t he turned off the main switch and then the tran former. At once the beam faded.leaving only a faint glow which lowly di appeared. He ighed ·and looked out overlhe CApan e of water. To his right. far in the distance, was the little fishing village fromwhi~h he came. Seeing the fi hing fleet put to ea, he longed to be with them, but some-one h:ld to tay and switch the light on every night. When old MacPher on. the previouslighthl'lI ekeeper, had died a my terious death la t year, no one had wanted to takeover the duty. So in the end they had to draw lots for local fishermen to do one monthstint at the lighthou e. He had unfortunately been chosen for this month. For the firstfew days it had been enjoyable getting up late in the morning and generally lazingaround. but now it was no joy. He wa bored and longed for someone to talk to. He. ighed again and thought for a few moment and then, hi mind made up, he strodedeterminedly down the tairs. On reaching bis room he picked up a few things he wouldneed. and after he had locked the big door, started out on the twenty-mile trek roundthe bay to the village. He walked lightheartedly, cheerful at the thought of eeing hisfriends again and smiled at the thought of that cold beer he wa going to have. Theterrain was rocky and made heavy going and he began panting. He flopped down undera tree and lay there exhau ted. He cursed his foolishne s in wearing his heavy gum-boots but he wa not going to go back now. He pre ed on and passed a few hepherdalong the road and wished them good day.

He reached the village about middayand at once headed for the local tavernwhere he fini hed off a few beer. Feeling refreshed, he headed for the harbour wherehe aw Tom, a friend of hi who had cru hed his foot and so could not be out withthe fleet. He at down next to him on the pile of fi hing net. Tom looked up from thepiece of net he was repairing aod gave a grunt of recognition.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, surpri ed at eeing him.'·Oh. I wa bored there; there wa nothing to do all day 0 1 popped in to ee my

friends.""You had better be back there by this evening, hadn't you?""Yes. 1 uppose so," he replied, but at that moment he could not care what he

did. He tayed there all afternoon helping Tom, who wa getting more and morewomed. He kept reminding him that he ought to be starting back, but then the fi hingneet came in and tarted off-loading their haul of fi h. After this they all trooped offto the tavern and so it was not until even 0 'clock that one of the captain of the fleetshoved him out of the door and told him in no uncertain words to get going, whichhe did very un teadily. Singing to him elf, he made his way along the path which wasonly half illuminated by the rising moon. Then tbe ea mist came swirling in till hecould see almost nothing.

He obered up immediately wben he heard the sound of a foghorn clo e by.Probably tbat large trawler he had seen earlier on, he thought. Then a paralysing thoughttruck him, the light wa not on and 0 the kipper of the trawler would a ume hehad pa ed the lighthou e long ago and would probably wing round into the shore.He tarted running, tumbling over un een rock, gasping for air. He truggled on buthis unfit body could not take it; be topped and ripped off his gum-boots and, castingthem aside, ran on. His feet were soon cut to ribbon but he kept on running. "Onlya little way now," he thought a the sound of the foghorn came to his ears. Then hisheart, unable to take the train, gave a jerk and stopped. He huddered and collap edand lay tilJ. The foghorn sounded again as the eagulls wheeled over as if to warn thetrawler of its danger.

"A bad night, tonight." aid the captain to hi mate as he swung the wheel over.

MY EERSTE AFSPRAAK MET 'N MEISIE

Dit wa in hierdie jaar toe ek eintlik vir die heel eer te keer 'n meisie gevra het omsaam met my uit te gaan, Ek wa al voorheen met mei ies uit, maar dit wa altyd 'ngl!val van " ien jou daar", dan ien jy miskien die meisie binne in 'n bioskoop waardie itplekke nie be preek is nie, y het natuurlik haar eie baartjie al klaar gekoop, maarhierdie keer was dit anders.

Dit was 'n semi-formele funksie in 'n saal in Nuweland, Daar ou ete voorbereiwees, on, tafel was bespreek en daar was 'n orkes odat die men e kon dan, Wel, vir'n geleentheid soo hierdie wil 'n men natuurlik jou beste klere aantrek om netjiete lyk, Ek het 'n nuwe hemp gekoop om by my broek te pa , maar ek moe 'n baadjievan een vriend leen en 'n da van die ander om alle bypa end te maak,

Die aand het eindelik aangebreek en 'n vriend wat ook na die dan gegaan hel.het eers vir my kom haal en toe het on die mei ie gaan baal. By die aal was daar 'nheerlike ete van koue vlei en laai, Ek het 'n paar baie aangename dan e gehad metdie mei ie nel na die ete, maar ongelukkig het die kroeg ook net na die ete oopgemaak,Na 'n kort rukkie het daar 'n woesle geveg onder die men e uitgebreek en toe dit nadie dan vloer geprei hel. het ons gaan sit. Meer en meer man het betrokke geraak bydie geveg, want almal wou hulle maats gaan help en toe ek sien dat twee mans myvriend bydam, wou ek vir hom gaan help, maar die ligte het kielik doodgegaan eniemand het my 'n y like hou oor die kop geslaan met 'n bottel.

Ek het die volgende oggend in my vriend e kamer wakker geskrik, Hy bet my nay hui toe gebring, want hy bet dadelik padgegee toe die poli ie opdaag, Toe ek homvra an die meisie, het hy my ertel dat hy koon vergeel het van haar en haar netdaar gelos het. Ek het toe vir haar gebel om te probeer om ver koning te ra, maarsy wou niks weet nie en na drie maande praat y nog teeds nie met my nie, Dit iglad nie 'n eer te af praak wat ek of enigiemand sal wil onthou nie,

NIGERIANigeria i being neglected more and more. Conditions are terrible. disease is

common and death is commonplace. The treet in Lagos. the capital, are lined withopen drain with slab of concrete over them a footpaths. The e drains are alwaysdirty. never cleaned.

M illions of beggars come to Lagos each day to try to find a few piece of breador money. Mother chop the leg off their babies 0 that they can beg for money. Theyhope the white population will take pity on them for having only one leg.

Traffic is another great problem. Nigerian driver are almo t, if not, the worstin the world. There is only one et of traffic light in the whole of Nigeria, and theyseldom work.

THE HIGHWAYMAN

Colonel Michael Browning. retired from Her Maje ty' Indian Army. had comeback to England to ettle down and tart hi writing. The Colonel was a big man. Hewas over six feet tall, had very broad houlders and wa known for hi courage in theface of danger.

Michael Browning and his wife decided to settle down in the small village of Braemorein the very north of Scotland. The family bougbt a comfortable little house on theoutskirts of the village. The two mall children loved it there and tbc Browning' bull-terrier earned quite a reputation in the village.

Soon the Colonel began writing. He decided to write on the my terie and legend ofthe village. The tory that had intere ted him most was about a highwayman who hadterrorised the village for a long time until eventuallyall the villager came together togo out and look for the highwayman. who was finally caught and hanged out ide thetown. A tatue of the highwayman wa erected in the village square and the "locals"wore that once a year. on the 8th eptember. the highwayman came alive and vent hirevenge on anyone or anything ncarby. The Colonel didn't believe thi tory and wadetermined to prove bim elf right.

A few day before the 8th, Mr. Browning took the children down to Edinburgh toce their grandmother, intending to return a week later. On that evening everybody inthe little village locked their door and didn't go out ide, but Michael Browning setout from his hou e in the direction of the town quare. leaving the bull-terrier behindto guard the hou e. The narrow treet were de erted and the moon ca t eerie shadowson the road. Michael Browning whi tied a he walked along the road. The town quarewas moonlit and when the Colonel arrived there he broke into a cold weat and hiheart began to beat fa ter a he gazed in horror at the empty quare. The granite tatueof the highwayman riding his hor e had gone!

He stared a econd longer and then turned round and ran for hi life. A he turneda corner he bumped into a large man.

"Hey! What' this? Why are you in uch a hurry?" The oio nel breathed a sighof relief. It wa tbe con table on hi. beat. The Colonel got hi breath back and toldthe con table everything.

"All right," the con table murmured, • we,)1 go and have another look.""0 ... do you think we houid?""Certainly."The two men et off and when they arrived at the quare they aw the tatue

ilhouetted again t the moon in exactly the same place aalway, a If it had nevermoved.

HE CAME FROM OUTER SPACE

My name is Kinaarn Dawlings from the planet Ztold. J wi h to tell you of astrange occurrence wbich happened to me :l few Triang ago. It all h:lppened down inthe Quail.

The Quail i a beautiful little town about 7 par from my home. It i about 3 ver tslong and has about 30 million inhabitant. It i small compared with our capital city.Gwil, which i 13 par long and ha about 15 billion citizens. The Quail i unique asnormally there are two or three town with one name wherea the Quail is tbe onlytown with that name. It i surrounded by Rizl trees and there i a mall liquid heliumlake just out of town. The centre of attraction in the town i a large observatory whereI work.

The ob ervatory is not only for visual discovery but we also have powerful radios,an infra-red detector and mind-reading equipment. Our observatory is quite famouthrough the 18 planets of Drogque. We have discovered many distant galaxie, andince we have developed mind-reading beams we have discovered many planet in tho egalaxies. Some of their names are Flup, Gaf, Earth, Mlimam and J ie. Tbe planetswe discovered are inhabited by impie creatures, the mo t advanced being on J ie.

The incident I wi h to tell you about happened lhe ame day a we di coveredEarth, which makes it even more trange.

I was walking next lo the helium lake, as I of ten do, when I heard a strange soundjust out ide the R izl wood. 1 ran to inve tigate. A few pleggs later T cleared the woodand the sight that confronted me was incredible.

A strange craft was descending. It was long and tapered and looked like a rocketof 500 or 600 yiequ :lgo. When it finally ettled and the du t had cleared, trange pro-jections folded out of the ides. A side of the craft folded out and a trange whitecreature with weird dials and knobs on it clambered awkwardly do~ n the projection.Jl had a hiny surface placed in the front of a roundi h object on top of its frame.

Wben it reached the bottom il tood on the ground and pulled out a box-likestructure with a bit of wire sticking out of it. The creature pointed the wire at me andpre 'sed a button on the box. I thought that my time wa up. My body would be foundwhere r now stood. L heard a faint buzzing sound, but nothing happened. The creatureturned around and climbed into his craft again. I was left wondering.

I wa still in a daze when another creature appeared in the opening. He lookedlike an ordinary Ztoldian. He climbed, rather le awkwardly, down the projection.

He said, "Greetings, I don't suppo e you understand English, but my name is NeilArmstrong."'

HA strange name. to be ure."' L replied, "and I'm Kimlarn Dawling . Welcometo planet Ztold."'

"Hey," he yelled, "am I hearin' right, or did you peak Engli h?""Of cour e T poke English, did you think J poke J i?""Well," he said, 'Tm from Earth .. .".'Thi' i fanta tic," I yelled. "Ju t two or three zonk ago we di covered EarthThat wa our fir t meeting. and a triang later his crafl lifted. noisily and du lily.This is all I have to teil. lt is the complete story of the Man from Earth, the Man

from Outer Space.

U.19A

The 1975 LJ.19A team wa not a particularlytalented team but the player alway tried verhard. De pite losing eight game out of the21 played, no ide gained an ea y victory overWynberg. All team ~ ere made to play hardright to the end.

A well-known coach ha been quoted a~aying "the only failure at rugby i to toptrying". and in this re pect our 1st XV wasa team that really battled again t often heavierand more talented opponents, and left us feel-ing proud of them, even in defeat.

The forwards gave consistent I good displayand improved a the ea on progre sed. De pitebeing light and without much height, theircrumming wa~ ery eldom bettered. the line-out play wa sound and tbeir driving in thetight-Iuose was uften of a high standard. Sup-port m open play wa . however. not a gooda it hould have been.

The back' improved toward the end of thesea on de. pite lack ing real pace and ability topenetrat.e.

The team wa very well led by Mark Prey 'erand Paul Slackbeard. supported by tephenM ill . The pirit wa extremely good. The boyswere keen. con idered it an honour to rep re entWynberg. and they gave their wholeheartedupport to the coach and the rugby committee.

pecial mention mu t be made of the spiritof co-operation exi ting between the A's andS·s. Thi wa entirely due to the lead given byMr. Fourie and the leader. of the B team.My incere thanks go to Mr. Fourie, completelyunselfi h and dedicated, who made my job somuch easier and more plea ant with hi up-port. co-operation and much- alued advice.

A mo t enjoyable tour of Rhode ia waundertaken during the June holiday. Generouhospitality wa experienced and the boy mademany friend and impre sed their ho t withtheir behaviour.

Wynberg entered teams in both the Hamil-ton and Villager seven-a- ide chools' RugbyCompetition and were beaten in the final inboth competitions.

A mo t enjoyable game wa played at theend of the ea on between a combined Bi hops-Rondebo ch team and a team cho en fromWynberg. Plum tead and Fi h Hoek.

The year 1975 again proved to be an enjoy-able and rewarding ea on for coach and boy.

Summary of 1st XV Games

vs. KEAR EY lwon 19 ): Wynbergtarted on a high note by gaining a comfort-

able and de er ed victory over thi learn froma tal.

V'. JA VA RLEBEECK lwon 52-7):Jan van I{iebeeck, a chool with a proud rugbytradition, were 0 erwhelmed by a hard-runnmgWynberg team who e victory wa made ea ierby the indifferent tackling of the oppo ition.

v . RONDEBO CH (lost 8-10): A magni-ficent di play by the Rondebo ch forwardpaved the way for their narrow ictory. Wyn-berg could easily ha e beaten their formidableopponents. 'coring two trie to one, but un-fortunately cveral relatively ea y kicks weremi ed.

v . ST. GEORGE' , ali bury (won 2 12):De 'pile coring five trie to none, tbi wa nota completely atisf::!ctory victory. Our forwardwere made to look very ordinary, and in factthey learnt a great deal regarding erummingtechnique from t. eorge'.

v. . . . . (drew 13-13): Wynberg wereleading 13-6 until the la I quarter, butS.A. .S. played ery well at the end and prob-ably de erved the draw in a ery evenly con-tested game.

v·.1. G. MEIRING (won 13-0): Thi wasa relativel poor performance by Wynberg.who allowed themselves to be rattled by omehard and robu t pla .

v. T. JO EPH' (won 29-6): A gooden'ort by Wynberg in a very pleasant game. aw them run out comfortable winners.

S. PAUL ROOS (lo t 3-16): The coregive a completely mi leading picture of thematch again I the powerful Paul Roo team.Our side played very weIL indeed but everalsmall lap e in concentration accounted for thelarge core in an e enly conte ted game.

v . P ARL BOY' HIGH (lo t 0-10): Witha weakened team Wynberg again put on anextremely creditable di play. T\l 0 defen i ebp e- immediately after half-time re u1ted intwu quick trie by Paarl, but thereafter Wyn-berg came trongly into the picture and wereunlucky not to core at lea tonce.

v . PAARL GYM (lo t 9-12): Once againthi wa a meritoriou performance in a gamewhich could ha e gone either way.

47

v. PETER HOU E (won 2 3): In this,the first game of the Rhodesian tour, Wynbergclicked from the beginning and turned .in anoutstanding all-round performance.

vs. PRI E EDWARD liost 7-11): Wyn-berg played extremely well for most of thegame and were a little unlucky to lose a mo I

attractive match.

vs. ST. GEORGE'S (won 7-6): Wynbergfound St. George's a tough nut to crack alhome and won by a narrow margin after miss-ing cveral golden chance of coring owinglo bad handling.

v. MILTO (won 15-13): A pleasantgame in which Wynberg fell away after severalplayers had received minor injurie .

v. GRO VE OR HIGH, Durban (won39-0): Playing in wet and windy condition,Wynberg played good rugby to win comfort-ably.

vs. S.A .. S. (lo t 10-17): Failing to taketheir chances properly when playing with atrong wind, and only being 10-6 up at half-time instead of leading by a comfortable mar-gin, Wynberg paid the penalty in the econdhalf and de ervedly lost to S.A.C.S.

vs. TYGERBERG (lo t 10-12): After start-ing in tremendou form and looking a thoughthey would overwhelm the oppo ition, Wyn-berg played disappointing rugby and ended bylo ing the game. This wa decidedly the worstperformance of the ea on.

vs. BI HOPS (won 16-9): A ound per-formance. particularly by the forward, sawWynberg win rather more comfortably thanthe core uggest.

vs. RO DEBOSCH (lo t 15-25): Anothergood performance by Wynberg, who were ontop [or long period of the game. The resultwa in doubt up till the la t five minutes. Aflattering core for Rondebo ch.

vs. BELLVILLE (won J [-9): Completelack of form by the Wynberg goal-kickers sawWynberg win a game in which they were atlea t 15 point better than their opponent.

vs. PLUMSTEAD (won 15-9): This wasprobably their best performance of the season.Wynberg de ervedly beat their powerful localrival. Thi wa a magnificent team di playin which Wynberg attacked for long spell . .Itwa an attractive game.

vs. OLD BOYS: The Old Boys' XV provedtoo strong for our. 1st XV, winning comfort-ably by 22-9 and making the chool teamlook very ordinary indeed. The Old Boys wererepre ented by: L. Wilson (c.), M. Ba tin.T. Hewitt, A. Ros D. Hopwood, K. Kolesky.H. Ca par. D. Humphries, K. Wright, M.English, A. Blackbeard, J. Sim, J. van Niekerk,R. Louw and K. Horton.Throwing the ball around and winning much

WYNBERG vs. OLD BOYS(1st XV)

The Old Boy-, playing attractive, runningrugby, defeated the 'chool by 18-9.

Atter only ten minutes the Old Boy coredan unconverted try: O. Farrant replied witha penalty for the chool: 3. Attacking-trongly, the Old Boy went further aheadafter a fine inter-pa ing movement. The trywas converted. Half-time: 10-3.

Farrant narrowed the gap soon after half-time with a penalty: I . The Old Boybegan to find each other and they bamboozledthe chool with weeping pa ing movement.They succeeded in coring their tbird try afterome good running from their own twen ty-five: I 6. The Old Boys continued to attackand after a good run by D. Hopwood coredagain: 18-6. In the final minute of the gameFarranl goaled his third penalty. making thefinal score 18-9.

(2nd XV)Thi match wa played in the truc pirit of

all Old Boy' game. Neither side he itated torun the ball and the chool ran out winnerby 30-24.The half-time core was I 10. The schoor

point came from a goal and a try wbileBrown and Hempel replied with trie for theOld Boys.The Old Boy began the econd half in fine

spirit and through ome imaginative runningwere soon rewarded with tries by Watson andWes el: 18- JO. Play wung from one sideof the field to the other and the chool hit backto take a 20-18 lead. Both ide replied withexcellent trie. The chool held on to theirnarrow lead to win a most exciting and enjoy-able game.

UNDER 19BThe 2nd X did not have a very succe sful

sea on thi year. They played 15 matches, won6, lo t 7 and drew 2. They cored 184 pointand had 164 scored again t them.

The weak pot of the •. econd .. wa in tbeirback-line where they lacked penetration. Tbeforward alway upplied them with plenty ofgood ball Hnd at tImes there was very littleto choo e between the I t XV and the 2nd XVforwards during practice game.

The 2nd XV also supplied very good com-petition for the 1st XV and twelve of theregular econd team players had a game ortwo for the first team, not alway only areplacement for injured player.

On the whole tbe 2nd XV had a very goodpirit and enjoyed their game very muchunder the efficient leader hip of very keenplayer like hane Barker, Johnny Pam andDereck Fay.

UNDER 19C and 0Full re uit for the U.19C were kept this

year by veteran team-member Meinhardt Greefand it is on these that this report j ba ed.

Of the 132 points scored by the C team,104 were trom trie and 60 of these pointswere cored by wing. It was alway our aimto run the ball and bring every player into thegame, and this enabled Ross Murray to scoreeight trie' in e en games and Keith Ryan to. core ix in ix game. The whole team canbe proud of the e efforts as a wing i utterlydependent on the kiU and elfte ne s of ruforward and in ide backs who win and delivergood baH.

Although we won 9 out of 13 matches, weallowed our opponents to core 131 pointsagainst u . Thi teU of a reluctance to tackJe,with inevitable re uit . It i intere ting to notethat one of our malle t player phy ically,D. J. Louwren , tood out for hi determinedand courageou defence. The desire to attackmu t be matched by the determination todefend or one is only playing half a game.

We ha e no record for the D team, butin noting that they played their best rugby inthe second half of tbc ea on, one recogni etheir willingne to learn and de ire to improve,and their real succe was in achieving the eaim. Playing for the D team i often fru trat-ing as they are at the tail-end of every illneand injury and are always losing their bestplayer and receive econdary attention fromthe coach. Tbe 0 team thi year were cheerfuland enthu ia tic and regular at prnctjce . Theyprovided plendid re erves for the C team.Paul Mathew particularly impre cd with hileader hip and per onal play. He played onthe wing and benefited from the elfle dedica-tion of hi team-mates.

The forward a a whole played well andas a combination were hard to beat. The back-line. full of talent, found their be t form onlyin the econd half of the ea on.

The under 168 team ~truggled against mo~tide they played thi~ ~ea on. On some occa-sion the ide eemed to find form and playwith real fire.

Of the 14 matche played they won only 4.but they lo~t 4 by the narrowe t of margin.(Point for 112, and 144 against.)

The forward, fared only moderately well be-cau!>e they only very occa ionally played withreal fire. Other player .. that hou Id be men-tioned are an Eden (eight matche for tbc Ateam). Cheel (a hardworking loek) and CilliersMaille. promoted from the C team to the 8t.e<lm in the second half of the ea on. howedmore improvement th"n the other U.16 players.He often caught the eye with his enthu ia. mand hard work.

The team wa weil led by Edward'\, whowa,> always in the thick of thing.

UNDER 16CIn short. thi wa not a ucces ful ea on.

With poor handling and tackling we were oftenlet down at a crucial moment, but there weretimes when a touch of cia s wa evident. Thedriving play of our forward against PaarlGym. paid dividend a we came 0 elo e towinning. (Final score 8-6.) Another succewa our de erved victory over S.A.e .. (4-3)in very heavy conditions. Pineland brought ateam of only 14 player and our victory (34-0)wa omewhat flattering, but our tackJing,and general play were above tandard.

It is certain that all enjoyed the ea on, par-ticularly tho e who improved their individualplay. Ander on. Eastwood. Evan and Setter-field can be ingled out and hould be et forhigher honours.

III, again't 152.The A team. after winning eight games,

ended the fir t half of the ea on by beatingPaarl Gym. 17-10 in a match in which everyplayer contributed fully and plendidly to thefinal victory. Three of the e matche. were wonin the 1:\ t 10 minute when. with unflaggingpirit and hard play. the team gained the upperhand.

We lo t three matche during the secondhalf of the sea on. Our 15A team did every,thing together in the fine t spirit of the game.Our forward. with their hard. trong play inthe tight and fa t follow-up in the loo e, laidthe foundation for our backline to capitaliseon. Trevor Grey captained the team from theflank po ition and led by hi' fine example.

The back were good and hone bccau e theball wa given to them cleanly by the for-wards. They were fa t and incisive when onthe attack and deadlyon defence.

The B team had a patchy lart to the ea onbut their cohe ion and pattern of play improvedgreatly. They were a team never lacking i-spirit and they enjoyed fully all the matchesthey played.

UNDER 15C and DThe only unhappy part to this ea on wa

that it had to end. In building one of the be trecord of recent year for an .15, very

allractive. open and fa t rugby wa played,largely because the player wanted to do welltogether. Much credit for thi is due toAndrew Brown, a leader of great promise, andDa id Jacoby. Their tactical appreciation ofthe game wa - of ast importance to tbe team.Matches were lo t badly to Bergvliet B (18-0)and Bi hops (I J, lo e were narrowerto Paul Roo (18-9), Jan van Riebeeck B(8-7).

The D quad fared roughly for a whileagain t stronger team. There were Jo es toPaul Rol.) (2 ). Durbanville B (12-0).Bellville C (23 ) and S.A.C.S. (26-0). Ho\ -ever, there were big wins over Rondebosch(24 ), Paarl Boys' High (24-4) and Bi. hops(38-8), and a ten e cliff-hanger again t Fi hHoek B which wa narrowly lo t (8-6). Thefinal tally was 104 point for. 179 again t.

UNDER 14A and Blf the under 14A team were le

than they were la·t year in termlost and won, the ,ca on wa morein that the team developed a style of playthat by September proved more ucce sful andattractive than that of la t ea on. Rugbythroughout wa of a high tandard, particu-larly among t the country team. who, u inga \ eight ad antage con tructively and playingattractive rugby. proved formidable opponents.The A team did weil to beat Paarl Boys' Highat Paarl in a hard. driving game.

t the beginning of the econd half of theea on the team lo t three matches in a row,but through dedicated practice came back towin mo t of the re t of the game, and by theend of the ea on were playing rugby of ahigh tandard that promise a ucce ful future.

The B team alo had a mo t rewardingseason. With the addition of a few new keyplayer and an excellent pirit and dedicationthey greatly improved their play, and had afar more. ucce ful and enjoyable ea on thanthey did last year.

Clicks Knock-out Cricket Competition

This pon ored, limited-over competitIonbrought Wynberg to a thriUing final againstRondebo ch at the Vineyard Ground. Ea ywins in the early round again t t. Jo eph'College and Cape Town High chool pavedthe way for an exciting ictory over Plum-tead. Although eventuaUy beaten by Ronde-bo ch in the final. the team worked hard tobe there.

The merit of pon ored cricket of thinature ha e been questioned, but the keenintere t which ha been generated i certainlya mitigating factor. The money which thechool won ha been put toward cricket equip-ment for Coloured school, many of whomhave little or no money for porting activitie .

Thank mu t go to Mr. Payne for hi excel-lent and cheerful help in the preparation ofthe ground, Mr. Mathew for hi guiding hand,Mr. Howell for umpiring, and alo to Mr.Howell and other mother who prepared teasfor u . Mr. Fritz Bing gave valuable time andadvice which are incerely appreciated. It haalo been good to have loyal upport fromparent, old boy and pupil. A word of thankto the team, who provided many a heart-attackbut who invariably gave of their be t.

The 19ï5 hockey ea on ha now reachedcompletion and it is a time when one it backand think whether the aim of coachinghockey have been reali ed. A in all sports. theprimary objective is enjoyment. If thi. aim iucce ful then the econd aim i~ ea y-tCl

but we overlook the fact that hours of prac-tice are neecessary to reach this tandard.

Fortunately \ e learnt thi le on early inthe eason. Evidence of thi i the fact thatmany boy are playing men' hockey on atur-day afternoons in addition to chool hockey.tacy. Ho\ ell and chluter have pla}'ed Grand

Four ide were entered in the chool'League thi year with an .15B being addedin the third term. Mr. Baxter helped with thecoaching. and with hi own unique brand ofhumour. energy and enthu ia m encour:1gedthe 3rd team to ri e from the depth of lo ingevery match in the econd term to beingundefeated in the third. To umpire all the ideoon a Saturday morning i an impo ibility. butmany ha e tepped forward and offered theirervices. Mr. Mathew has willingly trekkedto ariou point of the Pen in. uia: Mr. Patten-den. an .15 parent. ha frequently given uphi' aturday morning: Mr. Pullen' advice,

coaching and umpmng have been invaluableall through the ea on. Yet it i not only the ewho de erve our thanks, but tho e whose deedsgo un ung in the background. Mr. Pa ne haa difficult job-he not only has the very oner-ous ta k of making the field pre eniable forhockey. but he ha had to li ten to endletream of ugge tions on how the field can beimproved. Not only ha he coped mo t com-mendably. but he has remained ane in theproce . It would be a ad day if all this weretaken for granted. Last, but mo t emphaticallynot least. i that indomitable. indispen able.lo al. and hard-working band of parent whohave helped to make the 1975 cason unforget-table. 1 am loth to ingle out any parent inparticular becau e 0 many have come forwardand offered their ervice,-from fund-raisingand tran port to accommodation and a po t-ea on dinner. Our thank have already beenrevealed b the pirit and enthu. iasm hownby all the boys who played Wynberg hockeythi year.

The field till remain a problem. Duringlhe fir t term blinds of volunteer. including Lt

CHL TER (Forward) (W.P. chool; Blue):A very gifted player who ha yet 10 how hitrue potential. Deadly in the circle, but mu tovercome a tendency to hang on to the ball.Too ca ual at time and mu t learn to look forwork.

PER RY (Forward) (Blue): thruSlful, hard-running right wing who never top trying. Agood eye for a gap and wa the ideo leadinggoal corer. If he learns to control the ballclo e lo hi body he will be a greal ucce In

HOWELL (Forward) (W.P. chool: Hon-our): A talented player with a very brightfuture. Lay on a good ball to hi wing andcombine well. Po itional play weak at time,but!hi will improve with experience. Cameclose to election for .A. School.

WHENYOURMONEY

NEEDSHELP.Today, more than ever,

investing money is a seriousbusiness. Because today yourinvestment has inflation to fight.

So before putting yourmoney into just any savingsaccount, fi rst ask you rself:

(i) Are you getting the highest.avai lable interest rate?

(ii) Are there any hiddenfinancial charges to bring therate of interest down?

(iii) Is the interest credited toyour account monthly - or onlyonce a year? If you are creditedmonthly (as at Nedbank)it means that you earn com-

pound interest on your savingsso your money multiplies thatmuch faster.

(iv) Are you protected againstany sudden drop in interest rates.And will you benefit if the ratesgo up?

(v) Can you draw moneywhen you need to?

You'll find, no matter whatyour particular savings need is,Nedbank has the best answer toit. Which in turn is why onceyou're a Nedbanker, you'llalways be a Nedbanker.
