HUNTE ADDRESSES. STUDENTS As the stocky young man a t Assembly on June 9th took his seat next to the Headmaster, a low hum of excitement filled the hall. And after he was introduced as Mr. Conrad Hunte vicecaptain of the WI cricket team. he was greeted with thunderous applause. But Mr. Hunte was with us for a more se!>ous purpose than cricl.ret, and he went straight into his subject. "The world may never be red or right - but it can and must be rebuilt" . He was here as the Carib·' bean Representative of the controversial " Moral Rearmament" programme, and was recruiting local students to represent Guy:ma at a n American conference on ''Moral Rearmament." He ~:tressed the important example that tl)e WI and especially Guyana, could show the world. ''This

can be achieved'', he said "if Queen's College can produce, along with her men of letters her sportsmen of migh~ nchievemcnt, men wiiling to discover and improve the mode rn v•orld. It w ill need the courage, faith, and pioneering spirit which led Columbus to discover the new world."

Cbntinuing, he explained that h is first visit to Guyana was fourteen years ago, but though h e had travelled! all over the world, Guianese hospitality had impressed him 'most. He compared Guianese people to the rich diamonds and gold of the country, which need to be mined, purified, and produced for the benefit of Guyana. "You need me n who will dare every difficulty to dig away the dirt in

order to reach the precious gems of the spirit and character of your people, and export them to the far -corners of the globe."

He brought peab of laughter when he said "he had heard" that Barbados could be comfort-ably put in the Demerara river, and in a more serious tone h e stressed the importance and extent of BG's rich r esources. " But'' he ,:remarked. its greatest r esources are them~~ races, cultures and communities working. playing, living and sacrificing together to build a new Guiana a nd a new world.''

After assembly, Mr. Hunte lectured to members of the Upper School, and held a discussion in the afternoon with boys further interested in a ttending the American conference.

consented to award him the title of Queen's CouJ1sel. H e is the Second Guyanese Attorney General to be appointed since Int.eJ?lal Selr-GovF>'l'IU'Ile'nt was granted tQ British Guiana.

SCHOOL DAYS CAN BE FUfl

The Queen's College Musical Society broke a two-year silence to present on Thursday 27th, May at 8.00 P.m., and on Saturday 29th, M,ay at 6.00 p_m ..

"Schooldays can be Fun" 'or "Modern Education in Four Acts." .\,, .,oon rs the term commenced the cast of over one hundred boys w re hard at practice even giving up Sunday mornings in their endellvour. In this respect Miss Dolphin, Mr. Thompson and i\-Tr. Isaacs must be complimented.

The night of May 27th finally arrived and all the practise was tel be put to the t· st. The auditorium was filled to a capacity, thanks to the ingenious idea of the Box Office staff, who saw to it that each of Q.C.'s 600 boys sold at 1 ast twct tickets. Mr. Isaacs, the Narrator. had taken up his positio'1 and had welcomed the audiEjnCe to this the first pcrformancE> of the play, when the Junior Choir marched on to the rostrum in front of the stage to render two songs. The songs were the School Song and the theme from " Schooldays," with words by Frank Pilgrim and adapt d to music by Moller.

The first act was supposed to depict a typical Q.C. Assembly in the old days wh n "Boys were Boys" and "Discipline was Discipline.'' To the older m(;:mber 5 of the audienc:i'it must have brought back nostalgic memories, for the costumes were suitably designe·d .

"When Discipline was .... what?" for the audie;nce was greeted by a sc ne of -:sisLrd~r when ~he curtain was drawn. Flaymg arms gave vlay only to bigger flaying arms. and missiles flew all over and only subsided when the Headmaster, played by Bern~;rd Young. entered and made his presence felt by a most unmeloc.liou~ "Animals.'' The Headmaster, truly of the "Old School," decided that ''Discipline was to be Discipline," and was actually administering a dose when "Bobo" the moosenge'r brought a message saying "The Visitor is here, sir."

The visitor, the Honorable Jeremy Richtipper, played by Gordon Glasheen, was suitably atl'.l'ed. Complete with top hat, cane, manacle and white dinner jacket (Dad was in the audience), he was a pretty picture. To entertain the Guest, the Music Mast.er (Aubrey Joseph) called upon the boys to sing while Alleyne, decked in long white socks and "war boot~," played the piano. The choir sang "Lovely Night," and were attompanied in fact by Miss Dolphin on the p•ano and the Seniors playing recorders. The n ext musical item presented to the visitor was a c!u et hy Orington Major (Howard Phillips) and Martin (Howard Cox). They sung "On Wtn!!, of Songs" by Mendelssohn.

Here again, the boys proved they wert> boys, for when Martin and Orpington had bowed and were ready to take their seats. they realised that they were tied together.

The guest was pleased and asked' for more. and the Headmaster introduced "a regular paragon"-Querry Junior, played by Charles Maxwell. Querry took some time to take the floor, for he wa 5 tied to his seat

by OJ"le of the most boyish of boys sitting behind him. He sang "Mattinata" by LeoncavalJc, and was greatly appreciated Finally the Headmaster asked the whole school, consisting of

both Junior and Senior choirs, to sing to their honoured guest the "Hallelujah Chorus by Hancfel, and as the last words died away the first act ended.

This act was rich in humour and the singing was of the highest standard, but a little more care should h ave been taken of the acting. Gordon Glasheen as Richtipper was impressive and played the role perfectly. The others were either scared, spoke too loudly, or tended to overact.

The narrator had begun his long discourse as an introduction to the Second Act, "Forum in lhe Cla,sroom." He said that in accordancr with the new method of education, the Roman Forum depicted had been prepared by the boys of Upper, Middle, Lown, Subterranean Form C. He consented further to stay and tra nslate for those in the audience wl:)o had forgotten their Latin. Cur tain s, and on stage a typical Roman Forum or Market Place, for the boys were here. there and everywhere speaking in Latin. We are grateful to the Theatre Guild who lent us the costumes for this scene, and also Mr. Ben Chinapen Qnd Stanley Rid'ley for the scenery.

"Discipuli Picturam Spectate," ''Laude Gtatmur Scholae," ''Damus Petimusque ''Vicissim" was all that was being heard until from the crowd of commoners two Rornan citizens emerged dressed in togas. The citizens were played by Andrew Bowling and Astil Paul. They seemed to know each other, and' began talking when a Roman Lady (DPnn;s Dew.11r) came onstage swinging her hips much to the excitement of the Romans: "Oh puer, Quid puella." The citize"ns began playing with the lady u n t i l her irate husband (Charles Cambridge) in typical West Indian style, brandishing a blunt cudgel, ran up to disperse the wolves and beat the sheep.

The commoners then began calling for "Caesar. Caesar," but before him marched his army of slobs who would protect his route.

Led by the athletic Centurion (Oberon Wade), the soldiers seemed a bunch ot misfits. The centurion, glib in speech, put them through their paces and had the audience on their feet with delight with his orders.

T h e soldiers "Partit"onated"

lo keep back the crowd' and Julius Caesar entered.

The crowd sang the anthem of "Juhus Caesar is a Bum" which moved Caesar to tears. Caesar then >hegan engaging in informal exchanges of wit and banter only to be suddenly stabbed in the back by the conspirators. Caesar squirmed back and across the stage, emitting a death-like snarl in "Eh Tu .....Brute. " and' then fell dead. The drama seemed ended by Brutus (Nigel Storey) who, baring his chest to reveal 007- said "No you dope, I'm Bond. James Bond.'' The crowd was now in uproar, but

must go to Mr. Phillip Thompson. who worked very hard with the boys on it. The most outstanding actor in this scene was Oberon Wade, the Centurion. He lived his role and displayed the ease of an accomplished actor.

Gordon Glasheen as Caesar was also outstanding, his personality seeping into the role, which con, r·buted largely to the s uccess of the sc~ne. Paul and Bowling were good supporting actors.

Storey and Rambarat as Brutus and Cassius seem d afraid and rushed through their lines, Storey being the main default.er.

Mr. Isaacs the narrator, doing a most efficient job, now moved into his third and final discourse, by giving an introduction to the Third Act or Spanish Scene. He told us that the Spanish Class would re-enact life of the people on "Isla de Juanita."

one ah we bundown sugar estates."

"Arson spell suh," said the Jamaican, "a haitch, a hay, two bars, a hie, a hoe. and a hen.'

According, to the witty El Dorado, he sounded like some Farmyard with a hay, a hoe and a hen.

The Barbadian was intent on giving the boys a lesson on culture. Being a Barbadian and seeking decorum in all he aspires to do, he sang "Pampalam" in a most dignified manner: "Brother William has got himself locked up and' he has not done anything, Pim.pa-lin;i.'' He was ridiculed by the gang, who sang it for him. They then gave a display of their singing by thinking of the girls in town "Lotan Gal.''

The Mighty Carrion Crow at. tempted to sing in O minor his song " Sly Mongoose." Seeing that he could not sing in this key, he asked for Z sharp, but before he got far he was accused of ''teefing we song." The gang sang it and the sophisticated Bnrbad1an went through his paces much to the delight of the crowd.

El Doraclo Jonec; then called the "Timber Man" in song, assisted by the boys and especially Aubrey Joseph. It now being the Jamaican's turn, he sang of the "Rain, Rain. what a hebby, hehby Rain-o.'' and th -- scintillating rhythm moved the boys to dancing and the rain to fall, bringing out all the old' umbrellas, pots and pans and other means of ,trangers entering the camp -.shelter.

About the best To "break it up in fine example is "Stella", though we change", what we are trying to must not forget Nat Hepburn's decide is whether calypsoes deal treatise on obeah ,as womanfs with love or only with lust in the weapon in tra pping. man or Lord relatidnsh.iJ> between man and Melody on the woman who is woman. To decide this it is going "always hungry". These comic to be necessary to rar,ge over a calypsoes usually reflect a cynirather wide period of time. In the first pace the songs that do show 'amorous sentiment" occur at wide :mtetvals and I may stretch the reader's memory a bit. Besides the calpsonians seen, to prefer the comic or satirical - "Dan is the Man," ''Dove and Pigeon", or, more recently, the Mighty Sparrow's hilarious spoof on people who use big words.

But to turn to the ones that deal with the relationship under cfiscussion. I! the calypsoes that deal in lust spring most easily to the mind it is b ecause, being generally very I uninhibited, they surprise us enough to leave a last J. L. ROBINSON ing impression. This is why we cal attitude that goes a long way all remember "Benwood Dick", w1¥ch was mildly surprising, towards supporting the state''M.ay-May," which was aston- ments we are considering.

Note However that the same calyp- music. But we must not neglect sonian sang all three. Before we the fact that the latter began to damn "West Indian Music" let have its effect on West Indian us see if anyone else turns out music a long time ago. One rethis type of song. The answec members Fightet's "My Dear", is "not usually". We do get the which was neither comic (or occasional "Big, big Bamboo" not intentionally so) nor brutal. song it is true. At the same time, It showed definite signs of being shocking as these songs might be to the middle-class mind, are we justified in claiming that they show np signs of love?

It is just about a year since and Without breaking our brains the Student AssoMation Council came into effect. trying to define love we can u se as a standard the fact that Throughout this yt-ar there has beeh much discus.•,ion of, ;i.nd love has an unselfish as well as skepticism about this 'students' a selfish a!Wect. Granted that Sparrow only sings of Harry's society.

influenced by "pop music," and had much of the ••amorous sentiment" ot the latter. More important, because more West Indian, was "Matia", which was the first to ex,presg authentic, original feeling which had nothing owing to American "pop music" and I think it did so rather well There is also ''Rose".

A look at the lyrics of the latter would seem to confirm the idea that these songs are full of sadism: "Rose you looking fo' blows". However the lyrics must be taken together with the music when the statement quoted can be seen not as a threat but merely an expression of anxiety.

Elsewhere the lyrics actually achieve tenderness: "Rose, darling come back home. Please tell me you're my own. 0 Lawd!'

The apparent lack of connection between the three parts of this cqn.veys diilstraction - which would be out of place in a world of mere lust; where one woman is as good as another.

To sum up, the calypsoes do sometimes treat the man-woman relationsb..ip m a cynic,u, comic way,. They are sometimes brutal, but here we sometimes find love in an unusual form. Finally, they do actually sing of love, and do so eloquently, but such songs do not occur frequently. On the other hand, if "pop mu.c.ic" is the standard.,, let us note that the latter IS turning to sadistic rantings such as "You got to cry, you got to cry, you got to crah-yee',.

S,-flJil ENT ~ilSSOCIATION

insatiable appetite to be comic, h e may have got past mere lust in "May-May". Does not the unselfish element, the concem for the partner, show in the li.ne "but she like it; I know that"?

Some may say that this is only the self-assertion flf male vanity - a kind of egoism. I think we have here a more primitive kind of love. In the sophisticated world a woman wants a . mink coat and her adoring husband buys it - this expresses love. In the primitivt' world a worfian wants things which Sparrow leaves to the imagination and her adoring lover supplies them - this also expresses love.

Every human being by instinct has some degree of selfishness behind each of his motives. Now we can agree that this can't be helped and it is better to show interest in ourselves first. But in B. G. today, after personal interest has been satisfied, we find the class barrier preventing those in cc ~anding positions from grappling with problems of lheir unfortunate coun'ryme·n . We, the youths, should aim at curbing our over-selfish attitudes and, a lthough class divisions must exist, those who would be hclding the reins of the eounfry would make more Pote·nt attempts in dealing with our problems.

.THE SCHOLAR and the COMMUNITY.

by R. E. CHEEKS (U61\'l6)

tions mirrors the intellectual maturity of the scholars who comprise it. It does not follow that a11 members of Government are scholars; there are occasionally a few unmitigated incompetents who are wafted in with the general stream of scholars to walk the hallowed halls of government, much to the d isadvantage of the rest.

Teaching, a profession of paramount importance in modern society, is carried out by the scholars. Man triumphed because each succeeding generation begins where the previous one left off; that is, knowledge is passed from parent to offspring. Similarly, in communities there must be some who will pass knowledge down to those coming up, and i,f benefit is fo b 2 derived from this knowl. edge, it must be transmitted in an efficient and dedicated manner. Some scholars consequently specialize in teaching various branches of knowledge, and in so doing make a significant concribt1tion to the ' community.

A community may be Ukened -.into the body of a living organism -in which the brain is represented by the body of scholars in active service. Theirs are the only -ell')otions which carry any \Veight; for example if a certain issue was tp b ~ de- cided on, what · th~ unskilled w orkers felt would not matter much. Instead, it is the feel ings of union leaders members of elected committees etc., all of whom inyariab' y are scholars, which are usually expressed as being characteristic of the whole commun~ty. So, once again, the emotions and attitudes of the scholars seemingly express t he feelings of the. whole community. .

AVENUES· AVAILABLE 10 VALETES DJPL0!\1ATS CAREERS 1.

Since the recent sefaction of one of our masters, Mr. R. M. Isaacs, for diplomatic training in Trinidad, m11ny of us are intprest~d in what really is the Diplomatic Service. We are going to discuss here the profes• sional diplomat as a career civil servant, and not as a politician.

The increasing number of developing and developed countries, together with the nsrng importance of nationalism and internationalism, has resulted in the importance of, and the demand for diplomats. The practising diplomat is normally expected to work in one or more of the following fields:-

(1)

POLITICAL

To represent British Guiana in the country t 0 which he has been assigned and to participate in, negotiations to further its political objectives.

(2)

ECONOMIC

To promote his trad e ~and tourism..

(3)

country's

CONS ULAR

To deal with immigration matters - passports and visasand to look after the welfare of students and migrants of his country in the country of his nssignment.

(4)

INFO RMATION

To ke:p his government infor,ned of general conditions in the country of his assignment so as to enable the Government to determine its external policy in relation to that country.

But a diplomat is not simply a 'roaming cavalier'; on the other hand, he has disciplined h imself to refute the ordinary rights of citizens in m?ral, social and political behaviour.

He cannot hold sid-s in national politics, but he must be sensi' tive to their currents, and be ready to advise the politician on consequences of policy regardless of political advantage, Idealistic and yet skeptical. he possesses a strong sense of proportion and displays a :faithful adherence to his instructions.

Diplomacy should be considered as a permanent career pre1erably a vocation, for once a diplomat has been appointed, he may resign when offendecf, but his country would have been deprived of h;s valuable training and experience.

Diplomacy has no place for a crusader, nor, on the other hand, for a reactionary. Observing from an historical point of view, recognising the present facts of life. and the pressures for change, he must practise the art of the possible. And his ability to get on well with others should be extended even to those whom he utterly despises.

The personal qualifications 0 f n d iplomat include a sound education and personal charm.

Though intellrctual eminence is rq,1uired, this js not a job for 'eggheads'. and technicians also· seldom qualify successfully in fh is field. His class .background is relatively unimportant, for adaptibility is his most important asset. He must be able to adapt himself ,1nd his temperament to the customs and manners of diplomatic society-.

Sociability, energy, and dedication arc also important. He must display an unattachment with social and racial prejudices, an

dards. The people responsible for this College having these traditions and standards were the old boys who made a posit ive contribution to the school, whether it b e in the academic field, the field of games, or as regards to school magazine or newspaper. We owe it to these old boys t0 guard the proud tradl.tions and to see that the high standards 'be kept. But, on the other hand, if we only fulfil this duty, the progress of the school will be at a standstuf, and ' what would happen is that the standard of the school over a period of years would be at one point. neither rising nor d1 opping. At this point, our duty to the future members of the school comes in. We have to try to raise the standards of the <;chool s0 that they would have something of considerable· qual•ty to aim at. If the former old boys of this school did nothing other than living up to standards hcse st:indards would not have r~en hi gh as they are today.

But each set of boys l eft their mark in ~ome way or another on the school's progress. They kept up the standards of the boys b · fore them and in turn, added something positive, not negative to them, so as the years rolled on thr school standards raised, so that each new batch of boys had a bigger challt nge to face than the boys b efore.

This is our challenge. We have t0 live up to high standards set by the old boys, and then raise them to fulfil our duty to the future members of the school Are we men enough to do this ?.

F irst I would deal with the basic principles of the ideology- After this I would proceed 'o the manner in which llie ideology is propagated, the reason for its being propagated in this manner, and finally its s uccess so far.

M.RA. is supposed t.o be an ideology which aims at makin g mankind pursue the path of goodne~s by a· moral revolution within each individual. The prerequisites lo this revcjution are the adherence to the virtue·s of honesty, love, selflessness and purity, These four pillars of M.R.A. are all relative terms and as such the claim that the M-R.A. does not conflict with other ideologies is built on shifting sands.

A man who believes that the laws of the state must work in accordance with the laws of nature may kill, (eliminating the unfit) for the love of man (the fit), for the fundamental law of nature, according to Darwin, is

We shall now consider what is the duty of the missionaries and how M-R.A. comes into the p'cture. The missionary work dates way back in history. First when the savages in the Wesf Indies ate the European s who came to trade in these parts, the missionaries came to the rescue by preaching to the savages- This is dealt with in the Ballantyne novel "Corail Island." When moral savages w ere produced, trade took place more comfortably and both sides gained, but of course we know who got tJ1e R. '. larger share. Now in the twentieth century for eign investors student know that if the people of a In Guy country are not v iolent-minded tributic "Bor then their prospects of exploita,tion would have a free scope, sought The missionaries were thus sent the pal to ensure that morality was ac- tic, wh cepted by the prnplc.

It does not follow that all members of Governm ent are scholars; there are occasionally a few unmitigated mcompetents wh o a re wafted in with the gener al stream of scholar s tC\ walk t he hallowed h alls of government, much to t he disadvantage of the rest.

Teaching, a profession of paramount impor tance in modern society, is carried out by the sch ol ar s. Man triumphed because each succeeding generation begins w here the previous one left off; that is, knowledge is passed from parent to offspring. Similarly, in communilies there m ust be some who will pass knowledge down to those coming up, and if benefit is to be derived fr om this k nowl. edge, it must be tr ansmitted in a n efficient and dedicated manner. Some scholars consequently specialize in teaching var ious bran ches of knowledge, and in so doing make a significant concribution to t he community.

A commun ity may be I ik ened ..into the body of a living organism ·in which t he brain is represented by the body of scholars in active ser vice. Theirs are the only -emotions which carry any weight ; for example if a cer tain issue was to b ~ decided on, what the unskilled workers felt would not matter m uch. Instead, it is the feelings of union lead ers members of elected committees etc., all of whom invar iab' y a re schol ars, which are usua lly ex pressed as being ch aract u istic of the whole community .
