Luman Oecker O'Reilly Kruger

Finanacial Manager: Mr G Faiers [n his editorial, the Editor of the 1993 edition wrote: "27 April 1994 - a date that heralds an air of uncertainty for all South Africans, not only as far as political issues are concerned, but also regarding education issues." 1994 has indeed been a momentous year in our country and at Wynberg. It is the year of the first ever democratic elections - a time in our country when we have tried to unify a people separated by decades of legislation; a time when we have tried lo develop a unified spirit.

Mr L Kruger,

~I~

So too has 1994 been a year where the theme of unification and spirit building at Wynberg has been rekindled, and it burns with an intensity that will not easily be extinguished. Wynberg is a school which offers countless opportunities to every pupil, and although the education system as we know it will almost definitely change during the course of 1995, plans are already under way so that Wynberg can meel the challenges and maintain its very high standards. It is, without doubt, that we believe the lessons learned at this fine school make our pupils citizens of whom the whole Wynberg family can be immensely proud. This year also brings a change to the format of the magazine. [t was decided to delay its publication so that it would renect the activities of the whole year, including the results of the 1994 Matric class. We hope yOll enjoy the new look. May 1995 sec Wynberg and South Africa go confidently in the direction of our dreams. May we all live the lives wc've imagined. Bev Conne/lan, Edilor

~IFROM

THE HEADMASTERI~ the rest of the world. Also the symbolism of Cape Town and Robben Island and the fact that the world wants to see us succeed, are all factors which count in our favour. The most important reason wc need the Olympic Games in 2004 is I am counting on hiring out our sports facilities during this period! The point I really want to focus on, is that a significant group of people (13 Action Committees) are planning for 1997 and then 2004 and I ask myself what is our planning strategy for 2004. 2004 is only ten years away. - We will all be ten years older. - Matrics will probably be settling into a career having completed their studies; they will turn to the property section before the sports pages; they will understand that an overdraft has nothing to do with the gap in the door and all specials on jewellery, especially engagement rings, will be keenly followed. - The Standard Sixes should be finishing their studies and they will have to start to think that long hair is not that necessary to make a statement and they will marvel as to how much their parents have learnt over the years. - Sub A's will be sitting here in Std 8. - Bread wiU cost about RIS a loaf. - The one thing I am certain of is that my pocket money would not have increased. Despite the magnitude of the changes and the uncertainty, one cannot sit back and react to each on an ad hoc basis. I do believe that one has to anticipate the change, have a vision as to where one wants to go and one has to take the odd chance. At Wynberg our planning is geared for 2004. In fact I have, over the months, been working on a major fund raiser called "WYNBERG 2004". It is my contention lIlat WE must be proactive and anticipate change. It is arguably in education that some of the greatest changes are going to come. Where we are going to, is only gleaned from the White Paper which in my opinion is long on principle but short on practicality. But for me this is not a problem onc has to see the spirit of the changes rather than the wriUen word. We have la see where the Government wants us to be in 2004 in Education. This is only really possible if one looks to where

It seems impossible that two yt!llrs have passed since I arrived as Headmaster at Wynberg. So much has happened at school and in our country since then and all in what seems such a short time. The pace of these changes has left us all somewhat breathless, but it has been exciting. In October we had our Old Boys' Annual Dinner and Mr Raymond Ackennan spoke about Cape Town's bid for the Olympic Games in 2004. It was fascinating to hear of the incredible planning that has gone into securing the South African bid over Johannesburg and Durban and what has to be done before 1997 when the actual bid to hold the games is made. When one hears of the incredible building and development which must occur, it is plain to see that the ROP could never be better supported by any other activity in our country. Most of the development of facilities and improvement of transport Links are in areas that have been disadvantaged. The point is that this work would need to be done even if we did not get the Olympics. I believe we will get the Olympics in 2004. The Mandela Factor, as we have recently seen as our President has met with world leaders, can never be underestimated . The spotlight is clearly on Africa and, in particular, South Africa. From being the polecats of lhe world we are now held up as an example la WBHS

Jm.

we have come from and then the spirit of where we must go becomGs clear. Only about six months ago we had 19 Educational Departments totally separated with their own Syllabi; examinations; Ministers; deputy-Ministers' secreta ries, etc. These Departments were separated on provincial grounds and then further by the different Government Houses House of Assembly House of Representatives House of Delegates Department of Education and Training On top of this there was the Department of National Education which cut across all provinc.;:s, but had their own Examination system. In 1992, schools were offered the option of becoming State Aided (Model C) if the parents voted and supported this move. I think the greatest injustice is being carried out against Model C schools by their antagonists. It is now said that schools voted to go Model C so that Ihe parenls could have a greater say in School Governance; that they would be able lo remain elite; that they could, in fact, rcstrict entry of pupils into the school. I feel one must lose sight of the fal:t that the main reason that schools voted for Mo(lt:1 C was so that they could retain a favourabk pupil/teacher ratio; the other factors were sops to placate thG parents for having to pay increased fees. That there are schools who used Model Band C to remain exclusive is not denied, but they are by far in the minority; moslof us wanted a rnulticultural, community centred school. With this background there will, from the Ist of January 1994, be one National Education Body with each of the nine Provinces having autonomy over education and working closely with the National Education Department. So, from January next year, the Western Cape Education Department will be formcd and will have in its employ 35 000 teachers and 803 000 pupils. lt is inleresting lo note Ihat in the Cape Peninsula next year, there will be more pupils Ihat in the entire old Cape Education Department. From this year the matries will not have on their exam paper CED, it will merely state Department of Education. From 1995 all matrics in the Western Cape will write the same matric examination. The recent Department of Education White Paper does give us a very good feeling of what the direction of hanges should achieve:

- there will clearly be a shortage of classrooms; - there arc new pupilltcacher ratios which are going to be implemented across the entire Western Cape next year; - there is no doubt that our teacher/pupil ratio will net:<!to be addressed, but I have no fear that any Education system want classrooms with 40 pupils in them. Not all that long ago when we weft: at sc.hool, classes with 35 and more were not unusual and our teaching was not damaging. We have been spoilt over the years with pupil/teacher ratios not present in any state educational system in the world. However, parents may decide that they would rather employ additional staff. There will be a phased-in process of compulsory and free education for the flfst ten years of school: I pre-year; Sub A and Sub B; Stds 1 - 7. From then, education is voluntary and fee-paying. The White Paper is at pains to say "Schools will be free to charge fees, the level of which will be determined by the capacity of the community to pay". However - "Children must not be excluded from schools because of an inabiljty to pay". From this it becomes abundantly clear that school fees al schools such as Wynberg are not going to disappear. On the contrary, education al Wynberg is going to cost more and more. The Model C presents a philosophical problem with which the Government has lO come to terms. They recognise thal: - we produce young men who can take up their place in society and contribute to our country; - we produce young men with a sound academic foundation who will become the future teachers, doctors, politicians; - we educate the entire child, having extra-mural facilities unrivalled in the world; - we have parents who play a role in governing the school and participate fully in the life of the sl:hool; - we save the government R700 million per year; - we do charge school fees and this could preclude certain boys from coming to Wynberg. I would like to slate, without any fear of contradiction, that no boy who applies to come to Wynberg is precluded because his parents are unable to pay the school fees. I have no doubt that we are not only ahead of the spirit of the White Paper but weU within the keeping of the law when it says - ..No person shall be unfairly discriminated against directly or indirectly on any grounds whatsoever. However,

WBHS 1994.6

affirmative action measures to counter the disadvantaged of previous unfair dislTiminatiuns are specifically protected". There is State Assistance, plus we havc our own school Scholarship Fund to assist any boy to come to Wynberg. This does not mean that ANY boy can come to Wynberg. Every boy who applies is intaviewcd and that are naturally criteria such as agc; academic ability; will the boy fit into our environment; will he benefit from what we have to offer and can he offer the sc,hool something. None of the criteria, however, are based on racial or financial considerations. The greatest problem the state face is coming to terms with schools such as ours where our parents can and do contribute (96% of parents who can pay, did pay their school fees last year). We do have magnificent facilities and are much closer to the Private School system than the State School system, and in my opinion this gap is going to inc.rease. But the Government pays our school teachers' salaries, so simplistically they have 10 recognise all the good that we do and accept that they are encouraging and sponsoring \!Iitism. Onc\! they have come to accept this philosophical step and trust that we are aware of lhe goals of the White Paper and are working hard to achieve them, th..:n they can spend their energies and money on schools that need them. The answer lies in our hands. We can be masters of our own destinies. If we address the injustices of the past, if we play an active role in sharing our skills, if we solve the educational problems, if we play our part in making our school available to all youngsters, then they. the State, will leave us alone. I spoke at the beginning about 2004 and Wynberg. What do we want Wynberg to be at the Prize Giving in 2004., - I would like to see about 100 more boys. - I would like to see our men as neat, wellmannered and confident as they are today. - The natural dynamics of a society will determine the school and teaching body. - I would like to see young men who are going to lead our country. - I would like to see young men who are rid of all the prejudices we may carry. - I would like to see a schoul with a relevant curriculum, where the pursuit for acadellli~' excellence is primary. - I would like lO see a school lhat is truly a

community school lhat belongs to and is totally supported by its parents. - There is n trend that schools shuuld offer a schooling and l\!ave the <!xtra-curricular activities tu Clubs. This is not the way we sce things. We have never offered a young man a schooling - we offer a way of life, and this should be reemphasi. cd. - I would like to sce a school which is a leader in the field of leaching; lhat wc arc at the front in techni~'al developmenls. - I would like 10 sec a school lhat continues to dcvelop the ..:ntirc indivjdual; that believes a fully rounded education is vital tll onc's personal growth. Wc are well on this road. Wynberg 2004, although only in ils beginning stages, is planning to: - impro e and extend our teaching facilities; - build a large leaching facility: - increase our Scholarship Fund significanlly; - improve and develop our extramural activities; eXlend our buildings; - increase our boarding facilities. Next year wc are going to address aggressively our Outres h Programme, were we can take some of our skills both In the classroom and on lhe sportsfield into disadvantaged areas. Wynberg has had the advantages of 153 years of loyal support from parents, pupils and Old Boys, and over these ycars a superb and loyal teaching staff, and through this has become arguably one of the leading school~ in lhe world (and we must lead); we have a responsibility to the part 153 years to lead; we have a responsibili:~' to our country to lead; we have a duty to our boys lO lead. Not only arc we masters of our own destiny, but we can affect the destiny of those around us. I alll filled wilh excilement and confidence for the future. Changes will COlli": and they will subject u;, 10 pressure;" sometllnes unreasonable. We may have unfair expectation thrown on us these we will hand I..: in our stride because we have the one strength which will see us through aU these uncertain times - and lhat is the character of the Wynberg Man.

At the beginning of the year we welcomed the following new teachers to our Slaffroom: Mesdames N Benalar (Xhosa), M Fischer (Biology) and J Helier (Library), and Messrs K Brown (Maths and Science), E Marais (Maths) and D Schenk (Afrikaans and History). We wish them many happy years in the Wynberg family. A number of staff members took well-deserved leave during the year: Messrs N de Carpentier and D Nienaber (1st term), Mr P Decker (2nd term) and Messrs A Cross and K Pretorius (4th term). Mr G Taylor was on leave for the !irst half of the year, and Ms N Jordan for the latter half. Mr J de Waal took three terms' study leave to complete his H.Ed. With permanent staff members enjoying leave, we are always particularly grateful to relief teachers. Mr L Nates joined the English and Geography departments in the !irst six months, while Ms L Quirk ran the Art Department in the laUer half of the year. Mrs H de Waal joined us in the 2nd term to teach Afrikaans, while Ms T Caims arrived in the Junior Maths Department in the 3rd term. Mr C Andrew joined the Phys Ed and Junior Biology staff in the 4th tenno Mr J Gardener stood in for Mr Richardson at the beginning of the 3rd term. Thank you for your commitment and hard work, both inside the classroom and outside. Robbie and Wendy Lloyd and Keith and Pippa Richardson are congratulated on U1eir respective weddings. Also, hearty congratulations to the Lamorals (a flISt), Poldens and Schenks (another first) for ensuring another generation of Wynberg sons!

~I~

Mesdames B FussIer and N Jordan, and Messrs L Kruger, L Moser, W Stanford and P van Schalkwyk were on this year's Staff Assoc路iation. They co-ordinaled social get-togethers and looked after the general wellbeing of our teachers. Very special thanks to our Administration and Kitchen staff for making our tasks so much easier. In August we said goodbye to Mr R Lloyd who left the Maths and Science Department for a career as medical representative. Mr G Taylor so enjoyed his six months' leave that he decided to resign from teaching and test his skills in the business world rather than the Biology lab. Mr D Bunch leaves us after two years as Band Master in the Music Department. The Afrikaans Department bids farewell to two teachers: Mr P Louw, who is leaving teaching, and Mr D Nienaber, who is moving to Tygerberg. Cheltenham Stooge, Mr Anthony Chapman (affectionately known as "Bean"), retumed to England in August. In his year at Wynberg he was active in the hostel, on the sports!ields and helped out with administration duties in the staffroom. We wish him well as he begins his University studies in his homeland. In his place we welcome William Hale, and hope that he enjoys the challenges al Wynberg. Also from lhe UK, a warm welcome to our new cricket pro, Mr Peter Knowies. We thank these colleagues for their tremendous contribution to our school. May your experiences and memories of Wynberg stand you in good stead as you face new challenges elsewhere.

(for malric.'> and prefec/s) (10 uphold Ihe IradiliollS of IIII! school) 1994 proved to be a highly successful year, and it was pleasing to see the level of the school spirit raised to an all-lime high. Wilh this, the overall performance of the school on the sports field was raised accordingly.

This year, we all di covered that fulfilling the mie of a prefect meant formulating new goals, and achieving them as a re uit of a great deal of hard work. This year's body of 15 prefect~ were all individuals, yel great friend , functioning as a dynamic and effective team which was able to maintain a high stAndard of discipline, and re-Instill a feeling of Spirit in the hool. Our year began with a camp, during which time we got to know each other beller, and sel goab and objectives for the year ahead Wc len the camp with a theme for the year: SUPPORT.

There was excellent teamwork amongst the prefect body. Then there was teamwork between the prefect body and the matrics, and as a result of this, the whole school functioned as a team. At sports fixtures, every Wynberg Boy was

involved and made a valuable contribution, not only on the field, but in the stands, cheering and supporting. Thanks must go to Messrs Connellan, Luman and Probyn for their undying support, and to aU the Wynberg Boys who played a role in the success of this year. I would also like to with the prefects and matrics of 1995 the greatest of success in the hope thal they wiIJ keep the Wynberg flag flying high. My/es Lord

Norman Henshilwood), as well as with the Rotoract and Rotary Club of Wynberg. We are presently working on an idea where the chairman and a committee member exchange places with each other. Main projects this year include marshalling the Cape Town Marathon as well as the Two Oceans Marathon, and helping with the sales of Red Noses for Red Nose Day at the Waterfront. We have also sold refreshments at school plays, and held lucky draws for events such as the U B40 concert (the winner was Trevor Kemp of Std 9C). We have also been on an excursion to St Lukes' Hospice. A Gold 25

PTA REPORT

appeal tll you parents to give next year's committee your full support for events such as thest:. Remember the mure money raised this way, the less the school has to increase school fees.

This was the Committee's first year uf operation under the new Constitution. This new Constitution provides for the election of its office bearers in the third term and as a consequence, valuable time is no longer lost in the first term. It is vital that tht: PTA is fully active and operational from Day Ont: of the first term, and this is now consequently happening.

PTA SOCIALS An innovatiun this year was tu host parents of our upposing traditiunal schools un tht: t:ve IJr our home rugby and hockey matches. The first such evening was hc::ldon tht: 20th of May 1994, wht:n wc hosted Bishops parents. This went off well and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Plates of supper were sold along with refreshmenL~, and a modest profit was made. The second such evening was on the 17th of June 1994, when we hosted SACS parents. This was not as well attended by visiting parents as the first evening. Two rugby tickets to the Lion Cup game at Newlands the next day (donated by an Old Boy) wert: raffled. Again a modest profit was realised. The third such evening preceding the Rondebosch Games had to be ealll"ellt:o owing til a dash with another sehuol function.

AUTUMN CARNIVAL It was the Committee's aim to expand our former Evening Market into a larger concept to be known as the "Autumn Carnival". Those of you who attended would have noticed a few changes from previous years, in that there were more food stalls, and for the first time a Beer Garden, and much more advertising to the public. We hoped for, and catered for, a bigger response from the general public, but unfortunately this did not materialise and the response from the parents was disappointing, but in mitigation, there were many counter-attractions on that night. Experience has now taught us that the Carnival Evening only has a life span of about three hours, after which parents take their children home. We, however, had catered for a longer evening, and given that you can only make and sell so much in three hours, we were somewhat undersold at the end of the evening. The nett financial result of the evening was a disappointing profit of R 7 396.00 after all expense::s. However, included in our expenses are design and reproduction costs of over R 3 000.00 for our advertising poster, which will not be reincurred.

TilE

FUTUKE would like to quote from our PTA Constitution. "The objects of the PTA are as follows: a) To facilitate the exehange of views and to maintain harmony between parents and teachers. h) To render such assistance to the Governing Body as may be requirt:d in all matters which may be I)f benefit tu the SCllOUIand its pupils. c) To undertake such profits as may be of advantage to the:: childn.:n, tht: school or the parents, particularly of a fund raising nature." This last mentioned object is going to become increasingly important, as Model C schools arc forced to "go it alone", and at our last Committee Meeting it was the subject of much discussion and some good ideas for future use were put forward. I would again appeal to parents to come forward and assist in and support funo raising. I think wt: all harbour a desire lo sce this school not only maintain its prt:sent high standard, hut to ~trive for even higher standards, and here it is pertinent to mention that the funds raised at the Carnival and by the Ruffle were used to equip the Media Centr' and the Reference Ruum with vid..:u cassette re::<:u rders. In closing I would like to thank the parents and my Committee for their hard work, support and friendship, and would like to thank Mr Probyn and his !o.taff who sat on their Committee for their

RAFFLE In tandem with our Evening Carnival we also ran our usual raffle. Unfortunately this year our convenor had to step down at short notice owing to unforseen circumstances, and it was not easy to fmd another convenor. Consequently the raffle got off to a late start and only cash prizes could be offered, which diluted the cash income. After allowing for these prizes, the raffle.: m:tted some R 11000.00. We have learned much from the~e aforementioned experiences and alii sure.: that future committees wiU be able to run the.:se two major fund raisers in a much more profitable.: manner. I would like to take this opportunity of thankjng all the convenors and their helpers, who worked extremely hard. I would also like to

FIRST AID Master-iD-Charge: Mr D Schenk

ChairmaD: Ralf MiiUer Under the leadership of our new master-incharge, Flrst Aid has had more than its fair share of ups and downs. As usual Wl! had a rather quiet Athletics season. The winler season filled us with life again as we selout for yet more tough Saturday mornings, with a full house of Rugby fixtures, to do what we do best: first aid. Regular meetings each cycle keep tl~e team on their toes. Topics ranged from baSIC CPR to complex head injuries. An in-depth study on the heart was also done. This year Wynberg has had Std 6 pupils who successfully became fully qualified first-aide~s. We hope that the juniors will be filled WIth knowledge and confidence by the time that they take the lead.

The Ladies Association has had a very activ\! year. and thl! commiuel! plus all the memb.:rs have worked hard to make each function a success. The New Parents Evening wa~ a Cheese and Wine for newcomer~, which gave them the opportunity of me.:ting other nl!w parl!nts and t.:achcs in a relaxed atmosphere. In the second term the gala performance of "Paint Your Wagon" was preceded by snacks and drinks in the foyer, and though the venue was a bit cramped, the atmosphere was fantastic. During lhe winter months refreshments were served on Saturday mornings in the Bill Bowden Pavilion. This gave spectators the opportunity to sit down to a cup of tea and cake or just to shelter from the sometimes rather inclement weather. The opening of the new Library was celebrated with a Cheese and Wine in the Library on the 17th of August. Foundl!rs' Day was a busy time as il was combined wilh Open Day. and there was a steady stream of lea and coffee being served lo parents during the course of the morning, as well as a LUckshop for the boys. Funclions were not only confmcd lO school grounds, but became a moveable feasl when Wynberg hosled the Engen Athletics' Met:ting at Green Point Stadium, and there provided a Cocktail party for gueMs and officials. Besides the above mentioned, refreshmenls were served at approximately 27 other functions, and this was only possible wilh the help of all the willing Wynberg mothers. My thanks to all of you who hay\! helped this year in the form of cakes. donations and "woman" hours of standing and serving teas, and washing cups at the various school activities and tuckshops. My thanks to our "flower lady", Elia. for organising the beautiful arrangements which always grace the foyer; Sue for the running of the LUckshop and being my right-hand lady al each and every function; Elsabe and Belinda for the many hours spent doing the Clothing Exchange: Lyn, Juanita, Charrnaine and Di for giving up their SaLUrdays to run lhe Sports Tuckshops. Finally. a BIG thank you to all my committee for all their help and for making it such an enjoyable year.

RECYCLING REPORT It appears that the bringing of newspapers and tins to school is not good for the "image" of the average high school boy. Contributions this year were therefore mainly from parents directly anu a growing number of neighbours and nearby businesses. The amount made this year was R 6 500. A school our size could easily generate three times this amount if aU parents became involved in this environmental project. A vast revenue from recyc-

ling household anu business waste would reduce the necd for increasing school fees. It is proposed, in 1995, to link the recycling of meta-! cans to a business "game" run by standard nine pupils. The idca is that they would develop entrepreneurial skills by operating a can collection business. Not only would the "business" carn money for the standard nines involved, but everyone who brings tins to them will also be paid.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

(Bean' Chapmon (kft) and friends For those people who have been pestering me for the last year, my Christian name is Anthony otherwise, and more familiarly, known as Bean. In the next few paragraphs I have been asked to express my thoughts and experiences of the past year here in South Africa. Walking into the staff room on my first day was a killer - a whiter than white male, a pommy and the next student victim! A recipe for disaster I felt, so I made haste to find the secretary's office where Nick Passenger had assured me I would find sympathy and understanding. Richard Cooke introduced me to many others and, having survived my first day at Wynberg, I entered my first-ever diary thought - "Everything bodes weU". Having arrived a couple of weeks into the fourth term, the matrics were found to have their eyes full and their brains filling, so I left to help on the Std 9 camp. Apart from it being a worthwhile time for the year group to come together, I also recorded my first achievement - a standing somersault on the trampoline, something the boys riled me for not being able to do! There were few weekends in the school year left, but I became fully involved when my winning English "one-day" cricket skiUs were caUed upon for the staff team. Although a litlle rusty with the bat and ball, it was the other members of the staff heard to creak when educating me at "Station 70". FoUowed by Mr Coombe taking it upon himself to show me alternative ways of making money, it was not long before the beaches became packed, the WBIIS /994.

braai fully operational and another Cape summer holiday in progress. I experienced the thriUs and spills of Day/Night cricket, diving for crayfish, swimming with sharks and watching whales dance, and then it was off through the Karoo to Lesotho to a friend's wedding. Within days I was back on the south coast, having journeyed through Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth to stay with the Revingtons in Victoria Bay. After ten days of sun, surf and sleep, it was time to face the new tenno 21 new Std 6 faces had to be correctly paired with 21 new names, along with the coaching of the U 140 cricket side and the 4th team tenrns. The youngsters had ample enthusiasm which fermented into competent cricket, whereas the 4ths have yet to grasp the positive correlation between hard work and success! In February the sunshine managed to draw my mother out here and in her company "touristed" as much of Cape Town as possible, the highlight being a sunset cruise around Table Bay on a catamaran. On a perfect day we had a trip wdl worth doing. With my bank balance breathing again, another holiday was sure enough upon us. The next four days were to be some of my most enjoyable, as Sakkie Home and myself drove to Kei Mouth for Mr Rob Lloyd's wedding. A most amusing chain of events ensured non-stop fun with many friends and it proved a rather sober bump back 10 reality when we left. It was not long before I was back in the swing of things at Greenpoint Stadium with Bryan Adams! During May I traveUed to PE for a third time with the 1st XI hockey squad. With varying degrees of success, they returned with their heads held high. At this time my U l4C hockey team were blitzing to an undefeated season, a side I had great pride in taking. The 3rd XV and 4th XV were not on such a roU, but with a dedicated core showed true character when it came to the crunch versus Paarl. The Ist XV travelled to Jo 'burg and Pretoria, and as Manager I seem to be remembered for my warm-up run and my gradual grasping of Afrikaans. Both Mr Polden and Mr Kriel took HUGE delight in watching the stares I received every time I thought I said "hello路 to a pretty Afrikaans girl! But it worked once as we found 29

one young lady who actually showed us around the whole of "The Lost City"; then at Sun City I actually won some money - apparently a rare occasion! My last sporting responsibility was to the body boarding - they rode their waves to success as a humorous team which completed a momentous year! Besides the coaching, my secretarial skills advanced, my knowledge of Makro increased and my leaching ability triumphed (I hope!). I also played rugby for Villagers and hockey for WPCC where I met and made many new friends. Having experienced a new culture and received great hospitality, I can return home with many cherished friendships and a treasured memory of a fantastic year. As I come to the end, there are nlany people who deserve my thanks for giving me a good time, but those who deserve a special mention are as follows:• Mr StovoId for allowing me to come from Cheltenham; • Mr Probyn and Mr Richardson and the rest of the staff for looking after me so well; • Sakkie Home for being there moslof the lime(!); • And last, but not least, Mr and MTS Winton who have not been previously mentioned but have pUL up with me for the year as I became their "new" child. Many thanks to you all and may your kindness and generosity continue to those who follow me. Bean

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I arrived at OF Malan Airport on October 26th to be met by the smiling face of Lyall Johnson and the hot Cape Town sun. The perfect start to what has proved to be an extremely enjoyable flIst month for me here at Wynberg. Naturally, being so far from home and changing from pupil to teacher in such a short space of time was initially somewhat daunting. However, both staff and boys have been exceptionally friendly and I would like to thank everyone at the school for making me feel so welcome. Messrs Stanford and Van Schalkwyk have been particularly enthusiastic in introducing me to the Cape Town night life, whilst M r Hoefnagels was quick to involve me in staff cricket, although his running between the wickets accounted for the rather premature conclusion of my debut innings. I have already encountered many aspects of school life. My duties have ranged from supervising groups of all ages in the classroom, taking a few sessions of Phys Ed and coaching sport every afternoon, to conducting some of the school's banking and ensuring that the tuck shop is always well stocked. 1 have particularly enjoyed helping out with the 1st and 2nd VI tennis, whilst laking two U 14 cricket teams has also been great fun. However, my success rate at lhe cricket has been moderate to say the least, especially with the UI40's, who are unfortunately yet to win a match undcr my direction - a point continually brought to my attention in the staffroom! I would likc to take this opportunity to say an early thank you to both M r Richardson of Wynberg and Mr Stovold of Cheltenham for organising this exchange. It is a wonderful chance for me la experience a different style of life and to make many new friends. I wish Lyall Johnson the best of luck as he prepares for leave for Cheltenham, and I'm. ure he'll have an amazing time with us Poms, despite his apprehensions about surviving a British winter. During these Christmas holidays I am intending to do some travelling and see as much of South Africa as possihle. Then I am looking forward to returning to Wynberg in the new year, where I trust the next eight months will prove as interesting and enjoyable as the first one has been. Will Hale

1994 MATRIEK We welcomed Mr Faiers to our teaching staff at the beginning of the year. Mr Faiers has been teaching Standard Six Accounting in addition to being the School Administrator. For the flIst time in many years, the Standard Sixes were given the option of taking Accounting. However, wilh the larger group of Standard Sixes this year, this made little difference to our numbers. It is encouraging to see the large number of boys opting for lhe subject. The Standard Seven group has also grown in numbers, largely as a result of their requirement to make two subject choices. It should be stressed that Accounting in the senior standards has become very much geared towards tertiary education levels, and a definite aptitude and ability to work logieally with more complicated systems is required. Thl! boys should be very cautious when making their tina I matric exemption choice. We have contrived to extend an enrichment programme which centres around the ~tock exchange in Standard Seven and participation in the Accounting Olympiad for the senior pupils. Unfortunately, the present matric class did not live up to our expectations in the Olympiad, but we nevertheless expect good results at the end of the year. In conclusion, I should like to thank Mr Coombe and Mr Faiers for their contribution to the department.

Gen 50,4%

Die I994-matriekuitslae was bevredigend. Die gcmidddde van 50,4% was baie hoër as die verwagting aangesien die gemiddelde vir September slegs 43 % was. Die verblydendste aspek is dat al die kandidate op die Hoër Graad geslaag hel. Taal is the belangrikste kommunikasiemiddel, veral in die "nuwe" Suid-Afrika. Leerlinge moet dus bewus daarvan wees dat mense jou respekteer en aanvaar as jy iemand in sy eie taal aanspreek. Ongelukkig is daar 'n negatiewe gevoelonder leerlinge teenoor die taal en die gebruik daarvan want in 'n sekere mate te danke is aan die geskiedenis van ons land, maar ook die feit dat sekere instansies hard probeer om die taal le "versmoor" deur dit as 'n publieke omgangstaaltc misken. Hierdie faktore maak die taak van die Afrikaanse onderwyser uiters moeilik. Ten spyte van hierdie faktore het die Departement nog steeds 'n uiters belangrike rol te speel om die leerlinge deur middel van mondelingeand kriftelike kommunikasie te leer hoc om te luister, te vertaan, te praal, te lees en le kryf, en sodoende sy plek met gemak te kan inneem in die SuidAfrikaanse samelewing. Ek wijlook graag namens die Afrikaanse Departement vir mnr P Louw wal uit die onderwys

Mev H de Waal het gedurende die derde kwartaal haar by ons aangesluit in die plek van mnr Louw. Ons wil haar graag voorspoed toewens in haar nuwe betrekking. Haar entoesiasme en vriendelike glimlag sal gemis word. Die Afrikaanse Departement het ook ongelukkig die dienste van mnr D Nienaber aan die einde van 1994 verloor. Hy het 'n betrekking by 'n ander skool aanvaar. Ons wil hom ook graag voorspoed toewens and hom bedank vir sy entoesiasme, insig en vir al die werk wat hy veral met die st 6leerplan gedoen het.

ART

The 1994 malric results were satisfactory and I should like to thank Ms Quirk for her capable contribution in the second half of 1994.

It has been a great privilege for me to act as a replacement teacher in the Art Department for the past two tenns. This Department produces an exceptionally high standard of work and I commend Ms Jordan for her hard work and commitment lo the pupils. Standard 6 proved to be a kecn, lively bunch which is now weU-educated in the field of graphic printmaking; several pupils produced linocut images of a high standard. This achievement is noteworthy, as lhe process involved requires much lechnical skill. Though I look forward to following the progress of those standard 1's who have chosen Art as a matric subject, I am disappointed that so few have chosen lhe Art option. The vibrant personalities of the standard 8 class produced work of similar nature. We lhank Peter Lewin, who spent many hours patiently posing for the class. He now has 17 portraits of himself! The standard 9's were an incredibly supportive group, whose mature attitude towards the subject are reflected in their work; I thank them for showing me the ropes at times and for their assistance with exhibitions. It was not easy for the Matric class lO adopt a new teacher towards the end of their year. However, these genth.:men adapted well lO a new influence, producing a fmal exhibition of exceptional standard. Andrew Westcott deserves special mention for his year work, which was not only outstanding in quality, bULalso in quantity. I take this opportunity to thank the staff for lheir support and encouragement. Finally, I should Like to Slress lhe importance of encouraging young men to study this unique "language", as rarely does this opportunily ari e again. Ms L Quirk

HG Average 56,2% SG Average 47,9%

While we were very happy with our 1994 averages for both HG and SG, we were disappointed that thee were no subject A's. We feci this is largely due to the weakness of our candidates in the South African section and we shall be working hard to address that this year. Another factor is that candidates do not work hard enough during the year and go into the exam with a poor year mark. With such a large department it was difficult to co-ordinate all aspects of the department, especially in the junior section. As the year progressed, the new teachers to the department sloued in weU and produced outstanding work, as seen in the quality of the projects produced in Standard 6 and 7. The Std 9's produced some excellent projects on prominent old boys of WBHS, which will enhance our school museum. With the growth in the number of pupils tahng History each year, all bodes well for the subject as the resu1t.s are bound to improve as the belter academic pupils begin to take an interest in the subject. KJ Prelorius

1 Average 52,2%

When one considers that the provincial median for Matric Latin is 69%, with 26% of candidates achieving A aggregates, Our results were disappointing. We are hoping that the present matric class will reverse this trend as there is immense potential in the ranks. This year some 58 Std 6's ventured on the trail of the Romans and tackled the language that has stood the test of time. The Std 7's had 38 pupils baUling with the intricacies of cases, conjugations and adverbs. The Std 8's and 9's have eight and nine pupils respcctively, while the Matrics were five in number. With the demise of Latin as a prerequisite for Law at university today, it is understandable that the subject may lose some of its more ardent supporters. However, the value of cracking a Latin sentence has withstood and will continue to withstand the influence of the easier options. My thanks this year to Mr K Richardson for the fine work he does in his own inimitable way. T O'Reilly

This year we began a streaming process in Std 9, where pupils were placed in classes according to their mathematical ability only. This makes for a more homogenous group and is thus beneficial to pupil and teacher. This concept will be extended to include the Std 8, 9 and 10classes in 1995. We look forward to seeing the efforts of the scheme when our first streamed pupils write their Matric exams in 1995.

As far as the 1994 matric results are concerned both averages were very similar to Septembe: results (HG: 50,5% and SG: 38%). The following achieved A aggregates: Aaron, Joshua, Ally (HG); Hillier (SG). Our department was reduced to seven this year, with the idea that the specialist Maths teachers should take as many of the Maths classes as possible - even at Std 6 level. Mr Mark Rushby rejoined the Department after a successful year's study leave and Mr Ernest Marais joined us from Stellenbosch University. Mr Kevin Brown also joined our Department but, as he is a scientist who majored in Chemistry, we were forced to share him with the Science Department. We said a sad farewell to Mr Rob Lloyd who left teaching in August to begin a career as a Medical Representative, and he was replaced in a temporary capacity by Ms Tracy Cairns for the last two terms. In her place in 1995, we will welcome a young graduate from UCT. Our Matric results last year were most pleasing. Of the 35 puils who wrote HG Maths, 3 obtained A's and 31 passed. The other 4 were converted to SG passes. There were 81 SG candidates, of whom only 9 failed. There were also 9 SG A's. Our HG average was 7% above the Cape average. Our Maths Society continued this year. An inter-schools quiz between pupils from Rustenberg, Springfield and Wynberg was held. Our top pupils acquined themselves well in the annual UCT Maths Olympiad. James Lu (Std 9) and Timothy Hillier and Anton Post (Std 7) were awarded gold certificates for coming in the top 10 in their standard in the Western Cape, while several boys in each standard obtained merit certificates. Eight of our boys (five senior and three junior) qualified for the second round of the National Old Mutual Mathematics Olympiad. They were thus in the top 1500 in the country. These pupils were Mark Ferry, Werner Heydra and Anton Post (Std 7), and Francisco Joshua, Donovan Kennedy, James Lu, James Taylor and Brelt Urquhart (Senior). WBHS /994.4/

A fair result compared to the September average of 50,1 %. The 100% pass rate was achieved with a fine effort by the boys who depended heavily on the practical component. The Phoenix has nothing on Metalwork. The reintroduction of this techno-practical discipline saw the re-awakening of interest and participation of many enthusiastic pupils. The 120 Std 6 pupils nearly swamped our re ources, but offering Metalwork on a bi-semester system and teaching a drawing and practical class simultaneously, saw us through the year. 105 Std 7 pupils passed through the work-shop. Not many models were finished, but a number of vital skills

were mastered - from basic bench work to braze welding. The Std 8 class were volunteers who had to make up on some lost work. That they have done so and managed to produce very good models and experimental work is evidence of their keenness and ability. The maUish Std 9 group, by Wynberg standards, has not worked to their full potential. Our Matrics drew praise from the subject adviser, Mr Cowley, for this was truly one of the best years of productivity, finish and presentation of all models. The models ranged from a model naval cannon and cro s-bows to well designed and constructed patio furniture ~ets. JGL

His 21h years with us were fruitful one (he looked after the Science Club in addition to his teaching duties) but we have an able replacement in Mr K Brown, who quickly picked up the reins and is proving to be a valuable asset to our department.

Their friendliness and commitment to woodwork made il very easy and a great pleasure lo teach them this year. Projects made by the Matric pupils this year are: Rodney Adamstein - an Oak Wall Cabinet; Stuart Bailey - a Beech Wood Drinks Cabinet; Anthony Blake - an Imbuia and Maple Four Poster Bed; Franko Maritz - an Oregon Pine Welsh Dresser; Manual Marguen - a Rosewood Writing Bureau; MigueU Rodrigues - a Pine Hi-Fi Stand; Richard Price - Pine Drinks Cabinet; Brett Simon - an Oak Writing Bureau; Terry Smith - Imbuia Wall Block; Neil Steward - a Yellowwood Jonkmanskas; and Tyrone Thompson - a Pau Marfin Kist. The Std 9 pupils made chairs while the Std 8 pupils made bedside cabinets. The Std 6 and 7 pupils do woodwork for only six months. Trays are made in Std 7 and pot stands in Std 6. To all the pupils who fmished their year projects, well done and congratulations on your fme work. My advice to the senior pupils next year is to plan your work and work consi tently throughout the year. PJ Kriel

XHOSA Teacher: Ms N Benetar This year, for the first lime, Xhosa wa introduced at Wynberg. It was very encouraging that out of 177 Std 6 pupils, 131 electt:d to study Xhosa. Even more encouraging is the fact that 104 of the 131 are carrying on with Xhosa in Std 7. The focus in Std 6 has been largely communicative; the boys have learnt basic conversation skills and useful phrases. In the second term six of

our boys, Brendon Bairn; Bradley Niel; Rashay Magan; Michael Jacobs; Ryan PiLlay and Matthew Smith represented Wynberg in an inter-schools Xhosa oral evening. No pri.zes were awarded but our boys provided mueh fun and entertainment. I believe that it is absolutely crucial to speak an African language in SA today. Not only does it enrich communication, but it also opens many doors in the workplace. Parents and staff should fmd out about courses that are offered to teach Xhosa. Our sole Matric pupil obtained 77% in the 1994 Matric examinalion. Nisale kakuhle, nibe neholidc emnandi. Sakubonana ngo-1995! N Bene/ar

FROM THE TEACHER COUNSELLOR: MEYER SCHEEPERS The Guidance Department's focus this year was on orientating and adapting in a year that brought many changes, challenges, uncertainty, as well as tremendous opportunities. The speakers who were arranged emphasised that the many opportunities would only be recognised once a pupil takes full responsibility for his own well-being and future. Prejudices and feelings of superiority were addressed by the Quaker Peace Centre. Representalives from the various tertiary and other intstitutions assisted the boys in their investigations into different study and career options. The Std 9 Work Shadow Programme got off the ground this year and was a resounding success. The boys were very positive about the benefits and advantages of a programme of this nature and were all of the opinion that it must become a permanent exercise. Careers evenings, exhibitions, talks and testing opportunities further supported the boys in exploring different options. By looking at social issues such as exuality, habit-fonning practices and other themes, I auempted to persuade the pupils to realise the futility of conforming ju t for the sake of being accepted by peers and others. I have seen many parents and pupils on an individual basis this year. Hopefully these meetings were constructive, productive and enriching. MSchupers

... AND NOW (1994) THE HOURGLASS PATH I'm walking along a dust-swept road. One foot in front of the other as I slowly eat up the distance home. My mind is bubbling, the thoughts tumbling over haphazardly, a jumble of conflicting ideas. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, and the day after. My arms sway with the rhythm of my steps, criss-crossing arcs that measure off my pace. The plane of the road rises slightly upward, and there, just reaching the tip of the hill before me, is a silhouene. The shoulders are back and the chest out-thrust, the stride measured as the head slowly dips and passes from sight.

I quicken my pace, anns swinging faster, palms crossing again and again. I crest the rise, and there, surprisingly close, walks the owner of lhe sun-bordered shadow. Surely this is not the haughty figure that breasted lhe hillock before me? This one is hunched, an old jacket covers lhe withered back that jerks back and forth with his ungraceful steps. The tweed is rough-hewn and worn, and the flat-rimmed cap has seen much use. My strides outmatch his with ease as he struggles on, and I imagine for a minute that I walk another road. The years roll by in the road signs, the past moves away with each step, the first and last both uncertain. There is an emptiness in my breast as I draw close. In the wizened body I see the fleetfooted joy of childhood, the arrogant strides of youth, the comfortable stroll of discovered identity in the middle years. In the roll of the bent shoulders shine the smiles and tears, of happiness and pain. Again I see him standing atop that hill in his prime and drinking in the flavours of life, both sweet and bitter, and I wonder why I pas him. I draw abreast of him and fear to pass a we move towards the bottom of the hill. Then he turns his sparkling eyes to me and, with a knowing half-smile, tips his ancient cap with a wrinkled, three-flllgered clasp. I return the smile of those crinlcJe-paper eyes and stride past. Before me lies my own hill, full of its own sun-dappled stretches and treacherous potholes, and the man below me who struggles towards its base begrudges me not my life. A Wallon, Sld 9

Tiny and Hector went to school today. The gates to Soweto School, the very portals of education they would have to enter in order to carve a niche for themselves in the world, were locked. Feeling dejected and forlorn they returned home to waste another day playing children's games in dusty township streets. The news spread over Soweto like a blanket. A major student march was planned for Thursday, the Sixteenth of June, 1976. Tiny felt excited at the news and hurriedly conveyed the message lo her twelve-year-old brother, who had difficulty in understanding the importance of such a protest. Tiny, adopting the stance used by liberal leader, elson Mandela, and raising her fist in a blackpower salute, shouted: "Lel educalion be your

weapon in Ihe struggle for liberalion. Rise up my oppressed brolhers and sisters! 17lelime has come for us lo fighl Jor our righis !"

G AshfoUl, SlDndord 8

Hector just laughed at the ridiculous figure of his sister expounding her political views and continued playing with the Mercedes-Benz he had made out of wire and plastic. Thursday the Sixteenth dawned. At flrst it seemed like every other day in the life of the sprawling Soweto township, but before long throngs of students began to gather at their respective schools. Protest leaders, anned with megaphones, issued orders to the eager demonstrators who were beginning to move lO the centre of the township in Orlando West. Hector was separated from his si ter during the melee bUL did not worry much as they had previously arranged to meel at the local cafe alter the

march in case such a thing should happen. All he was concerned about were the goodies his grandmother had made him for lunch, which were in a tattered bag on his back. At around midday all the participating students, clutching their home-made placards and banners, congregated at the official protest "headquarters", consisting of a parade ground with a hasLily erected platform in the centre. The sun beaL down on Lhe demonstrators and as the Lemperature increased, so did the tension. Tempers began to flare as people jostled for better viewpoints of the radical leaders making speeches on the makeshift platform. The students began to toyi-toyi to the chants of their heroes sitting in the sky. The po lice presence steadily increased until there were enough officers to form a small army. They stood silently, their demeanours never changing while they scanned the crowd with piercing, redhot eyes. The police refused to disband, even after the protest leaders tried to explain that what was happening was peaceful and no violent protest was planned. A small parabellum-shaped rock was hurled at the blue-and-yellow armoured vehicle. A single shot rang out and within seconds was taken up by incessant automatic weapon elfe. The rat-a-tat of guns cut through the crowd like a scythe cuts down corn. Nobody noticed the crumpled body of Hector Peterson lying in the gULLer, with the lifeblood oozing out of him, as they ran for cover. When the bullets stopped faces began to peer out of the shadows. People slowly regained their confidence and boldly began to march towards the policeman, armed and ready with their rifles at their sides. A shrill cry was heard. It was the voice of Tiny upon the discovery of her maimed brother lying in the gutter. The brave boy lifted up his heavy head and in a barely audible whisper, said, -TI,is isfor Ihe children of Ihe land, jusl Ihe way yOIl always spoke about ItS. TIlis is for yOll, Tiny. A small tear gathered at the corner of her eye and, gathering momentum, swiftly rolled down Tiny's cheek. The haLTed and the anger began to grow in the pit of her stomach unLil it finally knotted into a malignant black ball which contorted her face with the emotional pain of losing her brother. She stood up proudly, cradling her brother's limp and lifeless body, and began the journey home. The struggle of the day had been decided and the enemy had won. htSlin Bennels, Sld 9A

THE CALL OF SOUTH AFRICA Themba lay prostrate, the drain-water gushing over his shoulder and legs. Where was he? Rain pouring over him, he tried to raise his aching body. With each painstaking movement his brain registered another injury. A final surge of effort left him in a sitting position on the cold pavement. He let his head sink into his hands as he tried to rearrange his jumbled thoughts. "Oh, God! What the hell happened there?" he thought. Slowly bul surely his thoughts formed a defmite picture in his mind. He had been mugged, attacked, and left for dead in the guller. The pain was excruciating; the humiliation complete. All he could remember about his assailant was a scar. A menacing scar above his beady left eye ... "Themba! Themba you be blerrie careful out there hey! I don't wanna see your blerrie body in a bag, huh!" Themba waved a condescending hand at his mother and ignored her warning. "Relax, Mom. I'm just going to the kerfie." It was roughly a month since Themba had been attacked. The cut on his head had healed, but the bump that remained was a constant reminder. The weather that night was similar to today's. Themba cursed aloud and vowed, once again, that if the paths of him and his scarred attacker ever crossed again, his attacker wouldn't be victorious. As he walked, taking no notice of the greetings and cat-caUs around him, he thought of one thing: sweet revenge. It wasn't the fact that he had been hurt. It wasn't the humiliation. It was that his mother's money had been taken, not his. He continued down the street, his determined gait and lowered head causing others to move out of his way, rather than him out of theirs. He

turned off the busy street, down a dilapidated aUey, the sounds of the township marketplaces still ringing in his head. He could still hear the people shouting, but above the noise he could hear an argument. He lifted his gaze to see two opposing gang members circling each other with predatory concentration. Both men wore balaclavas but their characteristic jackets identified them as gang members. Themba '5 flrst reaction was to turn and run, but, as he was about to, the two nien lunged at each other. A battle of words and fists broke out until Themba saw the flash of a blade. The shorter man went limp, and fell to the ground. Seeing what he had done, the victor turned and ran, leaving the loser to die. Themba ran over to the dying man in panic. He saw the knife protruding from the dark-red patch on the shirt. Themba could think of nothing else but how he could help the man. He picked him up and carried him out into the street. "Help!" he houted. "Help me, quickly!" A township taxi driver saw the gathering crowd and puUed over. Themba threw the door open and exclaimed, "Hospital, hamba, hamba!" The man's groans haunted Themba and he knew he would have to save this man. When they arrived at the hospital, the paramedies took over and it was out of Themba's hands. "Il was a good thing you acted so quickly. You saved his I.ife, the doctor lold Themba as they approached the recovery ward. He opened the door and they entered. Just as the doclor wa.~ about to point out his patient, Themba stopped and looked directly at the man whose Life he had instinctively saved. The patient looked at him and smiled, the car on his len eye prominent. It was from then on thal Themba realised that this was a country of confusion; that revenge is merely a tool for the inception of havoc and violence. He reali ed that forgiveness was the only road to peace. Forgiveness was his call, and il IS inevitable. It is the call of South Africa. David 17lomas, Sld 9

There he sat every day with outslretched palms, With his' eyes shut and his mouth open. Even if one were to give him alms, His legs would stiU be broken. If riches of gold and silver were liquid, Then this man would thirst. But, if the humility was all but wicked, This poor man would be not the worst. He was inexorably and iniquitously baltered When he was but innocent and very young, His small life was all but shattered. BULnow his hard road to love has begun. We hurry past them, using alJ our ability, While the impecunious just sit there, with their humility. Mallhew Wesl, Sld 9

His collar sIXmed to be getting tighter round his neck with every brt;ath he took. and his shoes were beginning to rub on the bach of his heels. He looked at his blazer. It looked a though it were a hundred sizes too big for him as the bottoms of his shorts were barely visible. It wasn't the first time at the school, it was just that he was abOUl to become a pupil there and he had no idea of what to expect. As he stepped out of his mother's car his shoes made a crackling noise, like Rice Krispies when the milk is poured on them. He took a last look at this mother, forced a smile and then turned LO face the big world of high school.

He walked through the gates very casually, as though he had done it a million times before, and then went through the first door and into the corridors. He scanned the passage to see if he could see anyone he knew. There was nobody. Just then he felt a hand grip his shoulder, it was big and felt strong enough to crush hjm then and there. Andrew whisked around and saw a very large boy with a fancy badge on his blazer. His enormous legs stood firm, like two tree trunks. He had a scar on his left k.nee and very firm calf and thigh muscles. His chest was broad and stood out by itself. His face looked kind, although the rest of his body suggested that of a rugby player. The boy asked Andrew whether he was a Sld Six and told him to follow him if he was. He led Andrew through what seemed to be a million passages and up and down countless flights of stairs. Eventually they reached an outside quad where hundreds of boys stood. Andrew looked around and his eyes immediately fell upon his friend, Robert. As he walked towards his friend, the large rugby playing boy told him to wait in the quad for assembly. Andrew turned to thank the boy, but he had already disappeared up a flight of stairs. At 8:09 on Andrew's watch th~ bell rang and boys flooded into the quad from every direction. They were all coming for the opening assembly. Andrewand Robert stood with the other Standard Sixes and had to sit at the back of the hall. During one of the hymns Andrew wondered how on earth he would ever get used to high school.

"TIlE BLOOD-DIMMED TIDE IS LOOSED, AND EVERYWHERE TIlE CEREMONY OF INNOCENCE IS DROWNED." - Yeats AU through

the grim ages of man's sanguinary ellistence, he has revelled in the elation of carnage, from the times of the bloodthirsty Romans who threw their helpless prey to the merciless swords and spears of gladiators, or the slaveringjaws and rending claws of starving half-crazed savage beasts, to the equally gory and senseless art of war. Twenty centuries of civilisation; twenty centuries of technological achievement; twenty centuries of invention, innovation and erudition have taught us nothing - nothing bUL how to kill more people, nothing but how lO kill people more efficiently, more painfully and more quickly. "Rubbish!" the scientists say. "Our knowledge and inventions have aided the human race tremendously! " One cannot deny the enunciations of our learned leaders. After all, it was they who invented the wonder of gunpowder, the innocent looking black powder that was used to amuse the masses with spectacular and captivating firework displays - it was they who followed that fatal obsession and produced the fireann, turning a medium of pleasure into an instrument of death. After all, it was they who discovered the miracle of nuclear fission, a clean, safe and efficient means of producing all the energy we could possibly need without causing harm to the planet - but it was they who perverted their Iife- aving knowledge into the most terrible weapons of devastation known to man: the atomic and hydrogen bombs. Yet these death-mongers are not wholly to blame. Our twisted leaders have been coaxing us to our deaths for centuries. In the beginning it was a matter of fighting for survival against the greedy and power-hungry leaders of other tribes. Then as civilisation advanced and people lost a little of their blood lust, our leaders concocled a brilliant scheme lO entice the innocent and ignorant to their deaths: CHIVALRY! The glamour and prestige of knighthood. Wearing your polished gleaming annour inlo battle on magnificent beasts for the 5t

Andrew Westcoll, Standard 10 glory of your king or queen was too much for the youths. Innocent young men aspiring to knighthood Docked to become knights. Innucent young men rode into batlle filled with honour and pride innocent young men were swept away before a sea of death as they were dragged from their saddlt:s, innocent young men watched as they and their comrades were systematically slaughtered as they lay helpless, trapped in a steel case of their own design. Civilisation moved on until lhe time of the two World Wars. "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!" A phrase all too familiar wilh the youths of the time, eager to finish school and join the war, finish school to claim their piece of the glory - eager to fmish school and die in a lonely trench, on a londy hill, in a foreign country, killed by an anonymous buUet, fired by a young man like yourself whom you have never met before, a young man like yourself with no more reason to be there than you, a person who, under different eircumsLlIn cs, could be your closest friend. In these modern times of hi-tech communication!. and education however, most of these people now know about the morbid realities of war. We no longer believe the lies of our leaders, no longer Dock to our meaningle s deaths seeking glory. We now know the truth. However, with every problem there is a solution, and it d e not take long for our leaders to find a solution to their crippling problem of insufficient pawns: CO SCRIPTION! Conscription is their answer to the prohlem: If you do not want tu, we will make you! The victims? They mill around Like lambs to the WBIISIm.

them for the rest of their lives. What right are they really fighting for? To be God? Society is to blame for the state of world overpopulation, not the unborn child, so why kill it for crimes it did not comrnil. If the institution of marriage were stronger and people had control of their sexual needs, maybe the world would be a better place. When two people decide to have sex outside marriage and the woman falls pregnant, they should be mature enough to accept the situation, instead of resorting to murdt'r. Murder. That is what abortion is! The moment a child is conceived it is alive - no longer just sperm and ovary - and that is the miracle of life. As the tiny heart begins to beat, the lungs to form and the brain begins to function, a1.ready that child hts a persona1.ity of its own. It examines its surroundings and is aware of its mOlher's presence. There are many arguments surrounding abortion, both from the point of view of population and religion, and many of lhese miss the point entirely ... do we have the right lo end the life of another human being? I believe we do not. But ignoring all the arguments and just looking at the actual practice of abortion, it is quite clear that this is a most barbaric acl. Metal pliers and tongs are what are used to shred the tiny body of the unborn infant, reducing it to lifeless flesh. Surrounded by darkness, deep in my mother's womb, I am safe, no-one can harm me. I feel her life; her pulsing heartbeat echoes around me and I am content to rest peacefully there, in nature's perfect cradle. Otten her soothing voice calms me. when I am afraid of the inevitability of leaving her, and I sleep. Al other limes. I brush the sides of her womb with my delicate, unformed fingers and I dance for joy, kicking out excitedly. Soon 1 will be able to sing, laugh out loud and live my life to the fuIJest. I am not yet born. 0 hear me! I plead with you to listen. Leave me as 1 am. let nature take its course. Allow me, one day, to climb the highest mountain, paddle at lhe edge of the deepest ocean and fill my lungs wilh air from the greenest forest; allow me to live. In South Africa abortion is illegal.

"180 degrees! FuU speed!" he yelled. Harding wrenched his eyes from the spot that no longer held promise. The disadvantage to the kingfisher had almost always been lack of vision. Option D had become Option B. By outmanoeuvring his attacker the captain had positioned his submarine in the opposite direction, and now had a sizeable lead. Refuge was a mere 5 kilometres away in the form of an ice-pack. Once underneath, they would be safe. But such is nature, that the fish is also to be held by a disadvantage - the lack of speed. The Destroyer was now on the right line and pursuing its prey. "She's heading for the ice-pack, sir." "Estimated time of arrival?" "Four minutes, sir." "And ourselves?" "Four minutes, sir." The hunter had sighted his prey, and was going in for the kill. Harding wanted to leave the command deck and run to the foredeck, so sure that the submarine was within his grasp. He stared at the looming towers of ice but was distracted by the incoming report. "We're above them, sir." "Far enough to drop charges?" he asked hopefuUy, knowing he needed a lead but denying it. "No, sir. We need 50 metres." "We drop and turn at 40. And then we pray." The momentary silence was eventually broken. "Bombs away." Underwater, the eerie hush again enveloped the crew. Suddenly four violent explosions rocked the vessel and initiated the red alert, but it wasn't enough to deny the cheer and yells that erupted as the submarine slipped under the ice: shaken, but unharmed. The submarine had chosen well and the kingfisher would have to hunt again, elsewhere.

UFO? I shuddered. The stillness and noiseless way in which the object landed was eerie. It just hovered down slowly, silently, as if a magical force was lowering it. I felt a shiver down my spine. The object had landed. I was frozen. It was the Christmas holidays and I had been sent down to stay with my grandmother on her smallholding in the Karoo.

A few nights after I had arrived, I had noticed a strange light hovering above the ground in the field which I could see from my bedroom window. At that time 1 thought it was a dream. The next morning I went for a walk around the fields with my grandmother's [WO old dobermans. Suddenly the dogs pricked up their ears, they secmed disturbed and started to run and bark. I ran aller them thinking they had seen a hare. I was wrong. Three black circles were burnt into the yellow Karoo grass. The dogs were starting to whimper and had quietened down considerably. I glanced down once more over my shoulder and ran back to the house. "Simon, come and have lunch," my grandmother called from the front door. I ran up onto the front porch and dusted my feet. I ran inside and told my grandmother about the light and the circles. She, of course, did not believe me. "But, gran," I said, but she insisted that I eat my lunch. I was determined to find out what the object was and I planned to sneak out. That night I put on my jeans and old shoes and climbed out the window. I ran to some bushes and waited. It was cold and I snuggled into my jacket and waited. I must have fallen asleep. I awoke suddenly, there was something licking my hand. I glanced down expecting the worst, but it was only Jack, the old black doberman. I dozed off again, only to be startled awake by Jack's barking. I stared at the spot and in the sky I saw a light. The following day I awoke abruptly, amazed to be in my own bed. I clambered out and stared through my window, expecting to see the three perfect circles. They were gone! I was disappointed and went back to bed, thinking it was a dream and fell fast asleep. I awoke at about twelve o'clock and walked to the bathroom very upset. My grandmother walked in and asked, "Where is Jack? He didn't come for his breakfast." I gasped. I ran down to the field and saw once again, no rings. I walked back and saw something which kept me wondering for the whole holiday: a single small black ring burnt into the grass, much smaller than before, but still distinct. Jack was never seen again.

PAINT YOUR WAGON

WBI1S /994 • .56

~IL.-.-..-_IM_P_O_R_T_AN_T_E_V_E_N_T_S____,JI~ PAINT YOUR WAGON If the reaction of the audience to our school's recent production of "Paint Your Wagon" was any indication, then there seems to be no doubt that many people enjoy the sort of entertainment which lifts the spirit, sets the foot tapping and lea ves one in a positive frame of mind. Such was the undoubted effect of Leon Kruger's and Brian Botha's cheerful production. "Paint Your Wagon" is not a musical that is frequently staged these days. However, from the moment that the small but very competent orchestra struck up the ovcrture, it was a pleasant surprise to discover that the show contains a number of musical evergreens. This particular production was not dominated by any single character. Instead it was a weU coordinated team effort with the leading members of the cast handLing their roles in a self-assured and appealling manner. Richard Wallace, as Ben Rumson, sang with confidence, and his rendition of - the well-known "Wandering Star" was pleasingly performed. Tessa Jubber, as his daughter Jennifer, has an attractive stage presence and a good voice. Her solo number, "How Can I Wait Till Tomorrow Comes?", was charmingly sung. Both Tessa Jubber and David Thomas handled their roles as the romantic leads with malUre sensitivity. David's portrayal of Julio was both convincing and sincere, and he sang the wellknown "I Talk to the Trees" with confidence. The Mormon Family, consisting of Roger Jones (Jacob), Jenny Mullin (Sarah) and Natasha Strydom (Elizabeth), provided a delightfuUy humorous scene in the first act. All of the above performers were weU supported by some lively dancing by the Fandangos and by a strong, enthusiastic chorus. The stage set, depicting the Californian Gold Rush days of 1853, provided an effective backdrop. The mining town streel scene, in particular, was very striking and r-.. icola Jordan and her set design and construction crew are to be commended. Thc show played to large houses on all three nights and the enjoyment which both cast and audiences derived from this production was more

than evident. CongralUlations to Leon Kruger, Brian Botha and all concerned on providing us with a thoroughly enjoyable evening of entertainment.

PED

ARTS' FESTIVAL ONE-ACT

PLAY FESTIV AL

Five short plays were staged: our own two winning house plays (both written and directed by Roger Jones), plus one each from the Boys' Junior, the Girls' High and Plumstead. The actors, directors, backstage crews, sound and lighting teams pulled out all stops to provide sLick entertainment, with healthy competition between the various groups. All five plays were written or workshopped by the pupils themselves, which proves that creativity in our young folk is alive and well.

VARIETY SHOW This was the most popular stage show produced at Wynberg this year, with unbelievable pupil support. All sorts of hidden talent came to the fore, and we were entertained by singing, dancing, comedians, rock bands, magicians, jugglers and instrumental solos. The show was thoroughly enjoyed by both audience and perfonners: so much so, that we intend to extend this event to a twoevening programme next year.

CHOIR FESTIVAL Our 9th Choir Festival had six participants providing a wide range of choral music. This included small ensembles tike Bergvliet's "Be Sharps" , the SACS Madrigal Group and our very own Matric Ensemble, as well as the larger Girls' High, Cape! Malay and Swiss Choirs. For the massed-item finale we chose an appropriate song for this Election Year: 250 voices harmonised well in the jazzy "Hymn to Freedom" by Oscar Petl:rson.

153 years on and another packed Clegg Hall witnessed Mr Roger Field deliver the Address. Enthralled by the fluency of the speech the audience were treated to a historical run-down of the school, in which Mr Field highlighted various nostalgic events from 1841 to the present day. Mr Field attributed this fine history to something which he calls Spirit - the Wynberg Family trait. The cadet parade took place after the Address and was inspected by Col van Deventer and the Headmaster. Aller this the band, under the baton of Mr B Botha and Mr D Bunch, trcated us to a set of military melodies. The tea that followed and the scrumptious eats accorded time for the 'good ole days' to be thought of again. T 0 'Rei/ly

MA TRIC DANCE "A CafĂŠ in Venice" Committee: J du Preez (Chairman);

F Holland, G Greeff, M Williamson, D Miller, U Strandvik, C Potterton, B Gerber, A Halgryn, G O'Brien

Teacher-in-Charge: Mrs de Waal The theme for this year's matric farewell was "A CafĂŠ in Venice" and this year's dance proved to be a great success. With beautiful murals and table decoration, the candle-lit atmosphere was very romantic and was complemenled by wonderful cuisine. Waiters clad in black and white with red scarves about their necks served the meal consisting of a crayfish starter, fillet steak and cassatta. Everyone then took to the floor accompanied by the beat of "Snatch" and danced away for the rest of the night. Mementoes of the night included souvenier mugs for the gentlemen, perfume and orchids for the ladies, and photographs and programmes for everyone. Funds for the dance were raised through ticket sales, cake sales, refreshment stalls at various functions, and the AeroballlOn, an aerobics marathon where various prizes were awarded lO boys and girls as they 'bounced' away, instructed by various qualified instructors. Unfortunately, this event was not as weU supported as we would have liked it to be.

We should like to thank everyone who had anything to do with the success of the dance, especially the Std 9's and their parents who gave up so much of their time.

STD 9 CAMP This year the camp was held at the very scenic Rocklands campsite in Simonstown. It was most encouraging to see the large number of boys attending the camp, and this certainly argues well for the matric class of 1995. The purpose behind the camp is to enable the boys to get together, outside of the school environment, and to work on a theme for their matric year. The theme chosen by this year's Std 9 group was Unity. There is a definite need for the Std 9 class to establish their aims and objectives for their matric year. The camp also provides an opportunity for the boys to mix with their peers in an out of school situation, and to get lO know each other better. There is a large emphasis on group work, both in the discussions and in the running of the camp itself. This year the boys were addressed by Mr Rushby on time-planning, Mr Richardson on motivation, and Michael Home and David Thomas on their matric experience, and by Mr Moser and Mr Probyn on goals for 1995. There is much to be said for the opportunity to be heard, and many good ideas were put forward during the talks and discussions. In conclusion, a eamp of this size takes much careful planning and organisation. The 1994 camp committee, under the leadership of their chairman Craig Coltham, excelled in their duties and I thank them for their hard work and commitment. In addition, I would also like to extend my appreciation to Mr Grant Faiers and Mr Tony Cooper for their assistance. D Russell

CULTURAL DINNER The Cultural Calendar saw a fitting end with a very pleasant Cultural Awards Dinner. Those present were entertained to good food, splendid singing by the Matric Ensemble and the Choir, and a delightful after-dinner speech from our guest of honour, Mr John Gardener.

ARGUS QUIZ In 1993 Wynberg Boys' High entered a team of four pupils to participate in the firs ever Argus/Rotary Interschools General Knowledge Quiz, or as it is more ommonly known, the Argus Quiz. They did well, fmishing second to Aloe High, and in the process won some excellent DTP software for the school. In 1994 the tradition continued and a team consisting of Igor Novitsky (Captain and one of last year's competitors), Roger Jones, Stephen Aaron, Alistair Brauns and Alan Matthews (reserve) set out to do battle against some 110 other schools. For those who don'l follow il closely, the quiz involves intensive reading of lhe seven editions (including the bumper 'weekender') of the Argus prior to each round. The oumulative scores from the first two rounds are the basis for promotion into the top 10 list and subsequent round. Round 1 saw Wynberg off to a good start (51 point) with a resounding victory over Nonnan Henshilwood and Heathfield. At this point Igor Novitsky withdrew, Roger took other as captain and Alan Matthews stepped into the breach for Rounds 2 and 3. Round 2 took plaee on home

turf, but was a much tougher battle, WBHS In:lnaging only 48 this time with Immaculata Secondary in hot pursuit. Aller a week's break the pressure was on again, with Wynberg just making it into the top 10 at position 17. Unlike last year in which Round 3 was on a knock-out basis, the organisers announced that the cumulative scores from Rounds I - 3 would qualify schools to enter Round 4. This was unfortunate because it clearly favoured schools in the upper positions and demoralised schools, such as Wynberg, in the lower positions who had now to chase almost unattainable cores. Down but not beaten, the Wynberg Team entered Round 3 with their usual determination and enthusiasm. It was, however, not enough to beat the obviously well-prepared Rocklands High team who scort:<! an enormous 68 points to Wynberg's 53. A big congratulations to the boys who gave up so much time (and slecp!) and, considering their numerous extra-curricular involvements in other area~ of the school, did remarkably well to carry the name of Wynberg so far into the competition.

academic activities of the school has been achieveO. The focus on research and individual project work has certainly increased the boys' enthusiasm for using thc more accessible facility. The wonderful effort that went into fund-raising in the past, from the selling of bulbs to the autumn fair, and the support of the Old Boys and past and present parents, has definitely been worthwhile. This will substantially contribute to the higher level of achievement of the boys in the years to come. Our plans for the future include increasing our media equipment by obtaining a televideo and video camera for the pupils to use for project work. Networking our own computer program will enable the boys to locate books for themselves. A CD-ROM with an encyclopaedia as well as a literature program will provide enrichment for the pupils at aU levels. Thanks to all those who have encouraged, aided and supported the Media Centre.

NEW MEDIA CENTRE I LmRARY OPENING

Jacquie Helier, Librarian

On Wednesday evening, 17 August 1994, it finally happened: the opening of the long-awaited but beautifully renovated Ijbrary. Mr Dick FriedIander, our chairman, officiated and addressed the guests, who included Old Boys, parents, Governing Body members, the Educatjon Library Service Staff as well as many local school librarians. The wonderful spread, kindly catered for by the Ladies Association, was much appreciated, while those interested purchased books from Cuton and the House of Books to donate to our library. The incorporation of the passage, which is now being used to do last-minute homework, is proving to be very popular. The former foyer, which is the new reference and quiet reading area for the serious, is constantly in use. The percentage of classes now using the media centre for group and project research work has more than doubled since the renovations. The new photocopier and computer program have made the running of the library much easier, as will the barcoding system when it is installed in the future. The aim of making the library the heart of the

Teacher-in-Char~e: Mr PJ Kriel The Adventure Society began as a modest idea fonnulated by a group of fun-seeking extremists. At the beginning of the year, the society boasted a mere five members; however, within the first tenn the numbers increased to more than ten times the original amount and is now the biggest society in the school, consisting of approximately 115 members. Under my leadership and the leadership of an extremely dedicated and eccentric committee various speakers and outings wert! organised. Th~ society played survival games on a regular basis, went scuba diving, water skiing and mountain climbing. The year culminated in a nervewracking and demanding lrip down Suicide Gorge. The foundations have been laid for a society of great scope, and I look forward to seeing Sean and his committee in the limelight next year. I would also like to say a special thanks to Mr Kriel for all his time and effort. To my committee, thank you for all your support and commitment and all the best for the future.

Tt'acher-in-Charge: Mr Ten Velthuis This year the Bodyboarding Society's main aim was to encourage as many boys as possible to get actively involved in the Western Province Bodyboarding Asso iation, and at the start of the year many boys filled out forms for this. One of our members took part in the WP Trials and did quite well. Throughout the year the society was well attended, with many boys involved, and every society period was well used by the committee and boys alike. The society was also involved in an interschools' bodyboarding competition. A highlight of the year was when Mr James White came to peak to the society. His talk entailed talks on Hawaii and many competitions in which he had participated. Lastly, I would like lo thank Mr Ten Velthuis for being in charge and geuing so involved in the society and the interschools league.

The CheÂˇs Society this year has been very succe~sful. This was proved by the need for the society to expand into n second classroom to accommodate the increased membership which grew to over 50 regular players. Early in the year we hdd several end-game contests where the society member!. had to find checkmate in two or three moves. The first few correct answers each eamed a small priz..:. A doubles tournament was played v..:ry successfully during the second and third t..:rms. At the Founders Day moming (whcn variou~ ~ocieties were on display) many pupils used the upportunity to play the team and society members. We hope to organise more conlest and championships III the year ahead and to develop an up-to-date ladder for lenm selection Earlier this year the Wynberg Ches!> Tenm played in the SACS chess festival with many other Cape Penin!>ula !>chools.

C Dednam played well in last year's interprovincial tournament in Durban and has retained his position in the WP team through a series of successful trials and other tournaments. He will be playing in Pretoria during the December holidays. It is regrettable that many of our key players are not available on a Friday for matches, owing to tennis, badminton and other commitments, as this is the most convenient time for other schools to play. However, with good organisation and communication this problem could be overcome and a marked improvement in the team's results noted. At the Cultural Awards Dinner, colours were awarded to Richard Auckland, Roger Jones and Patrick Bauwens. Blues were awarded to Christian Dednam who was unbeated in the 13 games he played on board 1.

CHOIR Teachers-in-Charge: Ms B Fassler & Mr B Botha There were 30 choirboys this year, sixteen of whom were in Matric. The flJ'St performance was

at the March Music Conccrt. In August wc had a combined Sunday Workshop with the Girls' School: a most enjoyable day filled with many happy hours of singing and socialising. The 9th Annual Choir Festival had six groups participating: WGHS, SACS, the Be Sharps Quartet from Bcrgvliet, the Swiss Yodellers and the Cape Malays. In the finale, aU 250 voices joined forces for Oscar Peterson's "Hymn to Freedom". The Choir also sang at various formal social functions such as the Cultural Dinner, the Va.lcdictory Service, Founder's Day and the Carol Service. Six Matrics took part in the Vocal Solo Section of the Cape Town Eisteddfod and the results were as follows: Merit Award (70-80%) to SMossop; Honours Awards (80-90%) to S Batwa, M dos Santos, D Lewis and P Mclntyre (2); Diploma Award (over 90%) to D Thomas. Through a combination of talent, regular practice and an enormous amount of enthusiasm, our Vocal Ensemble (seven Senior Boys) proved beyond doubt that singing is both fun and highly rewarding. The absolute highlight of the year was the "Paint Your Wagon experience:'. For the five months from January to May, the choirboys were transformed into American goldminers memorising lyrics, pitching melodies and perfecting accents.

On Open Day u m:twork was created and pupils were able to pit themselves against each other in a virtual reality simulation. The most exciting development this year has been the link made in the Internet, which is a global web of interconnecting computers sharing services and communicating directly. This puts the pupils in potential communication with millions of other users. It allows them acce s to information in the form of news on up to three and a half thousand topics, including all academic subjects. There arc pupil chat groups which allow for the parti"ipation in world-wide joint projecb on any subject. There is E-Mail which, like ordinary mail, is private per~un-to-person mail sent from onc computer anywhere in the world (for pupils inLere ted in striking up a relationship witil a penpal in Canada, ~ay). This mail is instantaneous and cosLs the school a fraction of a local telephone call. There are many other features of Internet which eventually can be explored by the pupil.

This year, the Drama Society's emphasis was on developing young talent, which involved the seniors imparting their thespionic knowledge and experience to lhe newcomers, as seen in our Founders' Day display, the society constructing a stage in the quad and then performing two hours' worth of continuous improvisation, character ketches, stand-up comedy and general comedy sketches. Those who weren'l involved on the stage were busy behind the scenes developing advertisements,

The History Society, after a year's break due to lack of interest, attempted once again to get off the ground and start running actively. The committee succeeded to a certain extent in that our numbers were relatively strong. We had about 25 members, of which about half were juniors. However, our committee struggled to organise useful and interesting activities. Most of our activities consisted of discussions, videos and quizzes. Hopefully we will maintain our numbers in 1995 and I wish the new eommitte, under Warren Weitz, the best of luck. P Van Schalkwyk

The Maths Society does not run on a formal basis weekly like the other societies. It rather operates on an ad hoc basis in order to allow mathematicians the opportunity to become involved in other spheres as well. An evening meeting was held in the early part of the year where pupils from Rondebosch, Springfield, Rustenberg and Wynberg Girls competed with and against our boys. The evening took the form of a multiple choiee "relay". Our top mathematicians have been invited to UCT on several Saturday afternoons to attend challenging workshops where they acquitted themselves well. A further interschool meeting scheduled for the third term had to be cancelled owing to last-minute withdrawals by other schools.

The boys in this society have done a splendid job in the fast-growing museum. They have arranged the new exhibits during the year to keep a changing presentation going. The cricket season is represented by the trophies and sundry items brought back by the Barbadox Xl at the close of theiT triumphant Gary Sobers Tournament. On the return of the SA XI from their England tour, Aubrey Martin and tour manager Fritz Bing donated kit to the museum, which has been tastefully exhibited. The boys in the society merit congratulations on their efforts to keep the mu. cum clean, class cases polished and surplus stock filed neatly. Their task grows in importance as the museum draw new items from old boys - young and old. The latest from Brian Mawisa: WP Athletics and School Honours.

Main projects this year include marshalling the Cape Town Marathon as well as the Two Oceans Marathon, and helping with the sales of Red Noses for Red Nose Day at the Waterfront. We have also sold refreshments at school plays, and held lucky draws for events such as the UB40 concert (the winner was Trevor Kemp of Std 9C).

PISCATORIAL SOCIETY Chairman: G Crous

Teacher-iD-Charge: Mr D M Schenk The aim of the Piscatorial Society is to encourage all its members to take part in as many fishing trips as possible during the year. In this respect 1994 has been a very successful year! Not only did the society meet formally once every nine days, but countless informal meetings took place daily in the corridors and in the quads where information was exchanged and catches bragged about. B22 became the fishing information centre of the school, and often boys would stock their heads around my door to share a snippet of news with me (or brag!). The highlight of lhe year was undoubledly lhe excursion to the Breede River 10 calch Kob. The fish did not play the game (although a few were landed) but the boys had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Congratulations go to Gavin Crouse and Gary Macfarlane on their achievements this year.

ES Marais The Skateboarding Society is one of the smaller societies in school. We have no more than 14 dedicated skaters who pull oul all the SLOpSand really enjoy skating. Our activities for this year mostly consisted of talking about new moves, new clothes and scanning magazines for hot tips. We occasionally watched very interesting videos of competitions held overseas. Every week there was something different to look forward to. Skateboarding is not for the faint-hcarted, and we advise you not to try it at home without the proper supervision!

The Surfing Society was very successful this year, as we reached the ftnals of the Regional interschools' championships. Wynberg came second to Muizenberg, with two Wynberg boys in the Under 18 Finals and one in the Under 16 division. Myles Lamberth won the Best Judges award.

Jason du Preez (Editor), Frank Holland, Alex Wandiess, Gordon Greeff, et al. T eacber-m-Charge: L Kruger As for the Interact Society, the Wynbergian Society is a society which is dedicated "to the service of others", and it is for this selfless dedication to writing, planning, lyping, pasting, censoring, heckling, dead lining, etc, that the members must be congratulated. They have brought out four absolutely "stunning" copies that provided much humour, criticism and debate. I think that without this school magazine, the start of the holidays would lose some of its fIZZ - we even know that second-hand copies are sold at inflated prices to Wynbergian collectors. Jason and his staff need to be commended on the very high standard of their work; Frank Holland has been a much more than able right-hand man, while Alex Wand less (despite all the fights again t his censored article) has provided many covers and jokes and articles of definite exquisite penman hip. To the other cub-journalists: we hope to see you producing an even beuer Wynbergian for the 1994/1995 scason under the leadership of Richard Gordon, eil Barnard and Sleven Buchmann. Thank you for the joke and articles which one day will be sold as Wynbcrgiana.

CADET PLATOON

Founders Day was a great succe s due to the commitment of the members of the platoon The group was smaUer than in previous years but we found very ompetent NCOs, and underlhe leadership of Phillip Mclntyrc the detachment's performance was superb. The spirit amongst the guys was great and everybody enjoyed the experience. I must thank Phillip Mclntyre sin erely for all his hard work and dedication. Without him the Founders Day Parade would not have been the succe s that il was. He would he sorely missed next year a a whole new group mu t be trained for next year's Founders Day Parade.

Master-in-Cbarge: D Nienaber It was decided that the cadets would operate on a voluntary basis thi year. The detachmem consisted of 53 members of which the majority were matrics. The group practised regularly during the fir t term but with the disruption. during the second term we could not practise at all. At the tart of the third term it wa decided that we should have a Founders Day platoon and practices were held on a regular basis.

THE BAND 1994

After the 1993 ceasefire, a very keen and enthusiastic shooting squad began their practices this year. The senior members, in particular, gave good account of themselves, beating all our traditional opponents. Brent Marshall turned out to be our number I marksman, with some excellent scores. Unfortunately five of the six regular senior squad members are Matrics, who will be greatly missed next year.

Members: Sebastian Hernnann, James Mathers, Andrew Gaunt, Robert Stedall, Nicholas Newdigate, David Mee, Daniel Moore, John Jones, Shane Clarke, Michael Weir, Matthew Britton, Giles Southey , Gareth Fraser, Sherwin Lynch, Warren Wiseman This was the main body of the band for 1994. It looks quite impressive. I must admit my tenure at the school has been one of the most frustrating jobs I have ever done. The definition of impossibility is gelling children to practise and getting all the members together for a rehearsal. We had three band camps this year LO try to build up some "esprit de corps". Most orthe boys mucked in and had fun, but there were always some that didn't bother. The transition from Cadet Band to Cl)ncert Band has not been easy, and it will take at kast another 2-3 years before one can say it has been a success. During the course of this transition the band has not been able to do much. Learning a musical instrument does not take long, but one must practise at least one hour or longer every day. We did augment our band with some drummers for the Founder's Day Parade and had some very favourable reports from the spectators. I will not be here next year, but I'm sure the band will go from strength to strength and be good ambassadorial material for Wynberg Boys' High in the future. I have learnt a great deal during the last 21 months and would like to thank Mr Probyn for all his help, the other music teacher for theirs, and, most importantly, the boys in the band for aU the fun we've had. I wish you all well for the future. D Bllnch

LITTLEWOOD

WBHS /994.

Of the 93 boys in the two hostels, 47 were in either Std 9 or JO. This meant that we were always going to struggle in the junior interhouse events. As expected, then, Liulewood did well in most of the senior competitions, but in the cnd were placed 4th in the interhouse competition. Notable victories were in Hockey, Basketball and Waterpolo. As has become expected, the LittIewood entries in lIle one-act play festivals were of a very high standard. While the interhouse competition may have served Ijttle purpose for the day-boy houses, it was essential for the hostel. With the interhouse competition being all but phased out next year, for Liulewood the unifying effect which the inlerhouse evenL~ created could also fall away. It will be a challenge for the 1995 prefects to look for other ways to help maintain lhe excellenl hostel spirit that has been built up over the years. Staff have come and gone lhis year. Mrs King left al the end of the first term due to ill-health. Mrs King had been matron since 1990, and was very well liked by bolh staff and boys for her kind and generous nature. Mrs Lucas replaced her for the rest of the year. Mr Lloyd left Liulewood after just over two years, and was married during lhe April holidays. The Cheltenham exchange students lhis year were Anthony Chapman (alia Bean) and Richard Cooke. Unfortunately, Richard had to leave midway through the year due to a rugby injury. At the end of lhi year, Mr De Carpentier leaves Silverhurst after 31h years al the helm. We wish him and his family all of the best in their new home. Hopefully, they will be able to adjust to the peace and quiet! Mr Luman, an ex-

Littlewoodian himself, takes over the rems of Silverhurst in 1995. This year the fmancial operation of the hostel was taken ovcr by the school Bursar, Mrs Williams. Our thanks to her in this regard, and also to the school secretaries, M rs Joubert and M rs McCurdie, for their continued interest in the welfare of the hostel boys. Our thanks, also, to Mrs Crone for bringing the boys' lunch to school each day. Extensivc renovations were done to Lllllewood atlhe end of 1993. An amount of R 115000 was spent on rewiring the hostel, cleaning, repairing and waterproofing the roof, replacing waterdamaged ceilings and renovating two of lhe bathrooms. The Cape Education Department

granted R ,80 000 towards thes.: COSlS, wilh lhe balance being paid by the school. The staff of bOlh hostels once again deserve very sincere thank~ for all the time that lhey gav.: to the running of the hostels. Mr Faiers can now probably lay claim lO being the longest serving Littiewood master, next year being his tenth year. The prefects did their duties wilh a will, and are also to be thanked for their time and efforts expended on the smooth running of the hostels. The Matrons and kitchen staff do a largely, unfortunately, thankless job. They certainly deserve thanks lhis year for the extra time, effort and creativity that has gone into the preparation of the meals and lhe well-being of the boys.

1994 - a year of grey hours and surprises. The red flag was onee again at full mast when we took honours at the annual swimming gala. Other laurels won were the Basketball, Rugby, Squash and Golf. We showed our full talent in these and pocketed many silver medals in other events. My congratulations must go to all Rhodians who took part and gave of their talents to help in making 1994 such a sueeess. These gentlemen brought Rhodes from fifth place after the athletics day, 10 sharing first place with Van Riebeeck, with only one event to determine the Friedlander Shield. Unfortunately Van Riebeeck was the stronger team on the day that counted - con~ralulation Dave Thomas and his team.

Wellington House improved tremendouslyduring 1994, which was a result of increased spirit and enthu iasm during the year. On the sport~field our sportsmen were not always successful, but showed a keen sense of willingness to take part, and competed in a competitive manner with great spirit. Getling this kind of wiJlingnes is in itself a victory and certainly made organisation easier. We were more dominant on the cultural side of the Friedlander Shield competition. Special mention must go to Roger Jones and his group of ~enior and junior actors who worked very hard to win both the senior and junior houseplays. On the whole 1994 was a successful year for Wellington House, even though we finished Ihird in Ihe Friedlander Shield: we achieved by having better spirit in Ihe house A very speCial mention mUSI go to Mr Hoefnagel for all his hard work and molivation during the year. Thanks to the committee for Iheir support and help with Ihe running and general orgnnis tion of the house. Good luck lO the House Capuin and his committee for 1995. Jonalhan Bnl/on

This house has for the second year in a row been the mOSl successful house in the school. We had won the Friedlander Shield again. At the start of the year it was obvious that we had the potential to be successful again. We had a fine crop of prefects and house members with all-round talents. It was only a maUer of ensuring that the organising of events went smoothly. This year's prefects did a very good job, and at the end of the first tenn Van Riebeeck was far ahead on points. One of the highlights of the year must be the success of the junior house play which was placed second, as has become the nonn in recent years. My thanks must go to the prefects, who did a splendid job organising house events. They have been very efficient and the boys respected and supported them. David Thomas was perhaps the best house captain I have had the pleasure lO work Wilh. His goal from the start was lo be captain of the winning house, and no amount of lime or trouble was too much for him to ensure this. He was very popular with the boys and they were always willing lO co-<>perate with him. My thanks also go to the staff members involved in Van Riebeeck activities. I wish the new house master every success next year.

INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION WYNBERG AT THE EUROPEAN OPTIMIST SAILING CHAMPIONSHIPS At the end of the July school holidays, seven other team members and I left Cape Town Airport for Istanbul, Turkey. Our team consisteJ of live boys, three girls and a coach and team leader to take part in the 1994 European OptinJist Dinghy Sailing Championships. We arrivcd in the morning and were quite overwhelmed by the five-star hotel in which we were staying. We spent our arrival day acclimatising to the very hot and humid conditions.

and I was determined to win. I led the race but the pressure was too great and I finished 14th. The highest placed skipper was 7th. I linished 15th with fellow South Africans 44th, 45th and 88th. The girls fared well with 33rd, 34th and 45th places. This is the third year South Africa has ~ent a team to the European championships, and IS by far the best overall performance. I would like to thank the school for aiding in the ~urcha~e of my team uniform. It was a very mterestmg and enjoyable experience. Roberr Gardner

HUNGARY WATER POLO EXPERIENCE

The next three days were spent in Istanbul shopping around the Grand Bazaar and covered markets, and seeing the great Palaces of Istanbul. It was a new experience having to bargain for anything we wanted to buy. The shop owner would start off at about three times what the goods were worth and roughly half what you eventually paid for it. We were amazed to see that wc could buy Nike and Reebok clothing for under 4 dollars (fourteen rand). Radios and electronic goods sold for next to nothing, but very rarely worked. Although most of the goods we bough! were fake, it was great fun haggling. In Istanbul we also visited the famous sites such as the Blue Mosque - Topokopi Palace, where there is meant to be one of the most expensive jewel collections in the world. and the Dolmabache Palace, a huge Palace which spans over 300 metres. The next day we got our boats, brand new and literally out of the box. We practised in strong wind and big seas for three days before the regatta was scheduled to start. The water temperature in the Sea of Marram was 23Â°, the same as the air temperature. There were 150 boys and 90 girls from thirty-three countries. Seven races were sailed in generally strong conditions and we were all exhausted afier sailing and relaxed in the hotel's many pools. Out of seven races my positions were 27,2,2, 14,43, 18 and 14. The last race was my last in Optimists

The lirst thing that I noticed when observing both water polo and swimming training was the extreme eagerness that the kids showed. I think that lhis is due lo the fact that Hungary, as well as most other Eastern European countries, does nOL

offer sport at school level. The result is lhal only those who want lO achieve in a particular sport play the sport that they wish lo excel at. If for example a school student shows enough talent al say the age of 15, then he would be included in Ihe club's 1st League waler polo side, which could possibly result in him playing with or against international players. This would obviously give him more experience and improve his overall game. The problem in South Africa is that water polo is offered at both school and club level. This can obviously be too much commitment and the school student would be expected to play for his school side instead of a club. This would result in him not gaining the advice or constructive criticism of players with ten or more years of experience, something that both my brother and I have been able to obtain while playing at club level. As far as the training was concerned, it was horrifying! I was expected to swim, run, lift weights in the morning and then have a ball practice in the afternoon! Water polo is a professional sport overseas, and club players are paid to play. Therefore, they don't work, but practise aU day long. One of the exercises was to swim 750m with one arm! Another was to do 250 m butter!ly, picking up the pace all the time! Owing to the language barrier that I experi-enced, I have a few humorous anecdotes. I remember going to the toilet, then being chased around the parking lot by a weird man shouting what I presumed was a Hungarian profanity at me! I had not been able to read what was on the toilet door. I later found out, after running around a mini-bus for about5 minutes, that the man wanted me to pay for the use of the toilet! Another incident that I can remember was when Richard WaU (the Rondebosch boy who was also chosen) and I were told that we were to play in the Eger U20 club side against the French international U20 side, by Denis Posci.k, the club coach. We must have showed some sort of shock and our eyes might have opened wider with fear, because he said "No, Mark ... Richard ... don't be fraid to jump to the water!" All I can say to the current players at Wynberg is, work your legs! Stick at it. Rell'ember, it's only a game! Goesenoem! M Templelan

SA LIFE-SA VING TRIP TO AUSTRALIA

Mie/wtl ArbuLhnot in his SouLh African Lifesaving Kil

At the end of 1993 I was part of a group of ten U21 lifesavers from all over the country fortunate enough to travel to Australia for a month's tour. The three girls and seven guys were made up of people ranging from 16 years old to 20 years old. We had made the team following our performances at the SA Champs. At that time we did not realise how lucky we were to have been chosen. Towards the end of November we jetted off for what was going to be a remarkable tour 10 Australia. Our first destination was Perth, which is on the West Coast, and unbelievably similar in climate and attitude of the people to Cape Town. Our fITSt competition was extremely nervewracking and there was definitely more than butterflies !lying around in my stomach. However.

WHIlS /994. BJ

it was a very successful competition, where 1 won bolh my sprints and nags. thaI gave me a grt.:at deal of confidence, as I had not known the level of competitiveness of lhe Australians. We enjoyed a wonderful a Iter-competition re<:eplion at the city of Perth beach clubhouse. Our next destination was on the well-known East Coast where Surfer's Paradise is found. This is where we stayed for another two weeks. We stayed in a wonderful hotel right on the beach front. The days when we did not have competitions were spent training and resting and bathing. We also had a wonderful lime learning about the A uss ie girls' accents. We were introduced to a whole new way of lifesaving. To the Australians it is much more popular and we found everything was done on a much larger sea le than in South Africa. The clubhouses arc enormous; the equipment is first class; their methods were very new and their media coverage much greater. Onc of the things that really excited we naive lifesavers were their clubhou cs; they had restaurants. huge bars, pool tables, very large change rooms, gyms and best of

all were tpeir slot machines. Let me lell you, a great deal of money was lost on those machines. After having competed in four competitions in Brisbane, it wa.~ time yet again to adjust our watches and move south 10 Sydney. Here we were really able to sec the big shopping centres, spend our money at the duty free shops, and we even got to see the Sydney Opera House. In Sydney we had two big competitions. one of which was a test against a semi-Australian side. Here 1 won the long run and came 3rd in nags. Our next competition was at North CranuUa (most beaches have Aboriginal names). Here we came up against the great '\ustralian lifesavers and we realised how much damage isolation had done. On our numerous expeditions we also went diving at the Great Barrier Reef and on the roUer coasters at Dreamworld. At the end of the trip 1 only had wonderful things to say about the country, the people and their lifesaving. I consider myself extremely lucky to have experienced something so magical as going on tour to Australia. I had the time of my life! M ArblllIIllO/

The 1994 season started with the junior meeting hosted by Paarl Boys' High School. This was the first outing by the Standard Sixes and immediately Clement Barron and Mano Jacobs displayed that they are going to be great assets to WBHS. Brendon Arkwright (U17 400m); Michael Arbuthnot (U 19 800m) and James Roberts (U 19 Javelin) also excelled at this meeting. At the next meeting. lhe BelJviLle Junior, some athletes performed well but much work was needed in our build-up to SASOL, as we only finished 4th in lhe Boys' Division and also in the Top Ten competition. Sportsday was once again dominated by Van

Reibecck. For the lirst time Wynberg broke away from the colonial age-groupings and introduced the standard groupings of U14. U15. UI7 and U19. The individual champions were Clement Barron (U 14); Barry Cooper (U 15); Brendon Arkwright (U 17) and Marc Harding (U 19). At lhe Simba Peninsula Schools Championship. Wynberg once again dominated and the following athletes won on the day: Clement Barron (U 14 lOOm and 200m); Marius Roodman (U 17 l60mH); Jeremy Jacobs (U17 1500m Steeplechase); Craig White CU17 Hammer); Michael Arbulhnot (U 19 8oom); Sizwe Batwa (U19 3000m) and James Roberts (U 19 Javelin). At the SASOL linal all the athletes pulled out all the stop for us to once again linish second behind Paul Roos. At this meeting our middle distance athletes of Sizwe Batwa, Michael Gibson, Denver Perreira, Rodney Adamstein, Michael Arbulhnot and Jeremy Jacobs really dominated lhe day. At the WP Champion hips the following athletes won medals: Clement Barron (U 14 200m - Gold); Mario Jacobs (U 14 80m Hurdles - Bronze); JP de Villiers (U 14 Shotput - Bronze); Barry Cooper

(UIS lOOm - Silver); Michael Arbuthnot (U19 800m - Silver); and James Roberts (U 19 Javelin Gold). Michael and James were both chosen for the WP team but had to withdraw owing to injuries. The fourth term started with the Engen Prestige Meeting held at Green Point. Here Clement Barron set a new WP record in the U 14 200m. Other athletes who won medals were Mario Jacobs (U14 80m Hurdles - 3rd); Clement Barron (U14 lOOm - Ist); Brendon Arkwright (U 17 400m 2nd); James Roberts (U IS Javelin - Ist); and Michael Arbuthnot (U 19 SOOm - Ist). The WiUards Peninsula Prestige was once again

dominated by Wynberg athletes and Wynberg won its division comfortahly. At the WP Inler-High School's Championships our athletes were once again pipped inlo sC('ond place by Paul Roos. Our strong field of good middle distance athletes in malric will be missed in 1995, bUL the field athletes arc improving, so all looks well for the future. It has been a full and satisfying season, and I would like to thank all the faithful parents who supported our athletes. I would also like to thank the coaches for their hard work which made il possible for the athletes to achieve such great heighL~. K Pretorius

We had a very good season of junior development with a number of players who, having learned to play at Kirstenhof, are now able to develop their game in Wynberg teams. Our training schedule once again encouraged the players to warm up before practices and malches and to do stretching and fitness exerci es. We tried to concentrate on doubles combination and had some good combinations with Anthony Lock WBHS /994 â€˘ 89

and Stephen Aaron being the top doubles combination for most of the season. Gareth Gie and Paul Wu maintained an unbeaten combination in the fourth team and were only beaten when promoted to the third team for the last match of the season. Our flfst team suffered from lack of experience, as only one regular team player from 1993 was still available, and he was sometimes not available because of volleyball commitments. Rondaid Ridge developed into an effective number 1, winning half his singles matches and two-thirds of his doubles matches with a variety of partners. He was the WP under 14 triple champion, winning the singles. doubles and mixed doubles in the June championships. He also did well in the under 16 tournaments and was sdected as captain and number 1 for the WP U 14 team to play in Kroonstad in the September holidays. He was rated number 4 in South Africa after reaching the semi-finals of the boys' doubles and mixed doubles and quarter-tinals of the singles. He was awarded the cup for sportsmanship, and the WP leam was selected as the top team which played in Benoni, and he also played at the under 19 Interprovincials in Stellenbosch where he reached the fourth round of the singles. lan Norgarb started the season at number 1 or 2 and, because of his doubles combinations, ended up at number 3. He won three-quarters of hi

singles matches and half his doubles matches. Rory Carew was our only regular from 1993, but he misstld many practices and some matches because of volleyball commitments. He won half his singles matches playing at number 2 and most of his doubles matches with Ronaid Ridge. Tony Lock won three-quarters of this singles games mainly at number 3 or 4, and half his doubles matches with lan or Stephen. Stephen Aaron played about a third of the tirst team matches. The second team included Stephen Aaron, Zac Beaumont, Jason van der Valk, Sam Pearson and Brendon Geary, and improved as the season progressed. Sam Pearson (in Std 5 at WBJS) was selected for the WP U 14B team with Emerson Brundyn. Emerson, Brandon Geary and Marcus Badach all played well in the WP U 14 championships in June. Unfortunately 3 of the top 8 players are in matric, and we will be saying farewell to lan Norgarb, Anthony Loek and Stephen Aaron, but four of the top 8 are in Std 7 or below and our future in the schools' league looks promising. The third team included Darren Faivelowitz, Dominic Adamo, Daniel Pearson and Emerson Brundyn. Mauhew Smith played during the econd term before shooting commitments prevented him from playing Friday matches, and Kevin van Tonder (from the Std 6 team) played his way into

WBHS 1994. ~

the 3rd team for the third tcrm. The fourth and fifth learns included Garelh Gie, Paul Wu, Andrew Gold, Carios Marquez, Myles Lord, Jason Middielan, Damian Cross, Kelvin Lai, Malcolm Aldridge, Kevin du Toit, Horace Leung and Marcus Badach. The Std 6 team was a new idea for the second term to allow new players to play together in the league. Brandon Geary was too strong for the E League. bULhe combined with Nicholas Billimore, while Kevin van Tonder combined with Joseph Ketterer or Kcvin du Toit. The house matches were played on Tuesday 14 June, and each house fielded two singles players and a doubles pair. Each player played their opposition from the four other houses and some very good matches and a few surprises occurred. The teams were well balanced with Littiewood fLrst WiUl 8 points. followed by Van Riebeeck (7 points), Rhodes (6 points), De Waal (5 points) and Wellington (4 points).

The Wynberg Old Boys game look place al John Tyers Hall on Wednesday 31 Augusl with old boys of several generations. The Old Boys managed to win the encounter convincingly. Unfortunately someofthe fLfst team players were nol available because of other commitments. Our badminton practices and many matches took plac~ at the Defence Hall in Wynberg Military Camp. The help of Craig Nairn in coaching the players has been bOlh challenging la lhe lap players and essential to all the others. Mrs Fischer has added much insight into the strength and weaknesses of the players and contributed la the learn selection on a regular basis. Dr Pearson has helped make our away matches possible as he has regularly provided transport. At the 1994 Awards Dinner al the end of the third lenn. RonaId Ridge, lan Norgarb, Anthony Lock and Rory Carew were presented with Colours.

Basketball is a growing sport in South Africa and is a popular choice at Wynberg. Dominic Bright proved to be a tower of strength for his side, not only as captain, but also as a solid defender. His willingness to assist the juniors with various skills was appreciated by all. The few matches that were played served as a good learning curve for all. A GC

" Kepler Wessels These ideals of the former South African captain have hopefully been drummed into generations of Wynberg cricketers, and were certainly carried to Barbados by the I st Xl. A report of the Barbados Tour appears elsewhere in the magazine, but it must be emphasised that the players set standards of commitment and excellence which all Wynberg cricketers can strive to emulate. Apart from the Barbados Tour, highlights of the year have been the perfonnance of the U 14 agegroup, which bodes well for the future; innumerable centuries, from Garth Turvey's hundred against SACS in the Ist Xl to that of Jan Klopstra's in lhe U14C; a keen and enthusiastic 3rd XI who marched through an unbeaten season; the emergence of a keen umpiring body at the school; a successful and spirited day of cricket vs the Old Boys in March; winning two finals (2nd

All these fcatures help make Wynberg cricket strong. Without schoolmaster coaches, Wynberg cricket would not be the force it is. All players at Wynberg owe a debt of gratitude to Messrs RusselI, Hoefnagels, Moser, Rushby, Marais, Louw, Norton, Lloyd, Brown, De Waal, Bromberger, Van Schalkwyk, Hale, Chapman and Connellan. In addition, Mrs Fischer has helped with the U 19 midwcek and two Old Boys, Wayne Dickson and Murray Johnson, have done stirling work with the U14's. Some senior boys have volunteered their services to Mr Connellan with his U 14 cricket group. Paul Gordon, Donovan Miller, Gavin Crous, Warren Weitz, Scan Lambert and Alan Matthews have all given up time to help.

groundsta ff under ou r head-groundsman Mr J ohn~y van Rhyn. As master-in-chargeofquads, Mr Knel has taken a personal interest in ensuring that our facilities are always in top shape. It is a credit to his organisation that our fields and our m:ts play host to so many U 19 and U 15 provincial trials. The acquisition of a rope in 1993 to encircle our fields has enhanced the ambicnce of our fields. We can be proud of our facilities at Wynbag. A parent, Mr van der Westhuizen, conducted an umpiring course which was attended by 20 boys. Results of this course are still awaited, but we look forward to Wynberg boys umpiring many of our school games. Two WGHS pupils qualified as well and they have also stood in some of our games. Sleven Currie was our cricket professional for 1993/4, and we thank him for his contribution. A very experienced coach, Mr Peler Knowies, has been appointed for the current season and he has already made an impact on Wynberg with his wise counsel and his willingness to spend hours of extra time in the nets with the players. Cricket at Wynberg remains healthy - may we enjoy this fact but, mindful of the injunctions of Kepler Wessels, nevcr take it for granted.

CRICKET 1ST XI Coach: Mr D RusseIl The Ist cricket team has enjoyed an extremely successful year, winning most of their matches and losing only three. The highlight of the year was undoubtedly the tour to Barbados, which proved to be a great success both on and off the field. The strength of the side lay in the good balance of both batsmen and bowlers. A feature of our batting was the very positive approach shown. With our top five set on playing attacking strokes. a soLid foundation was often the key to the side posting formidable scores. Batting is really a state of mind; naturally technique is important. but the ability to believe in oneself and the concentrate for long periods of time is the secret to big scores. Eventually there was a noticeable growth in the confidence of our top order, and this enabled the middle order to build on an established start to the innings. The bowling was consistent throughout the year, with a good variety developing to trouble most of the opposition. If thcre was one weakness in our

seam attack, it was the inability to bowl one side of the wicket - a captain's nightmare for his field placings. However, the sheer commitment shown was often a pleasure to watch. Without seeking to single out individuals, mention must be made of Brandon Clark's haul of 59 wickets during the year; the highest number of wickets taken by a Wynberg boy at ths level. It is not often that a learn can boast a left-arm seam bowler, an offspinner, leg spinner and a solid opening pair. Highlight of the year was the team's success in winning the Sir Garfield Sobers' tournament in Barbados. On home ground, the match against Rondebosch in which we lost by 1 wicket and the match against SACS in which we won convincingly were probably our best showings. The draws against Bishops and Primrose in the first term were the biggest disappointments. Looking set for victories in both games, our middle order crumbled under the pressure and we had to settle for the draws. Who will forget Garlh Turvey's hundred against SACS; Clark's 8 wickets against Montrose and WeU's 1 against the Northern Suburbs XI. In closing, I would like to thank Justin Rookledge for the outstanding role played as captain, both on and off the field. This has been a memorable year, and I would also like to extend my appreciation to the two cricket pros, Mr Steve Curry (Ist term) and Mr Peter Knowies (4th term), and to the ever present parents for their continued support â€˘ throughout the ycar. D RusseIl

1ST XI - PLAYERS' CRITIQUE

Rookledgt' He played a major role in the success of the team with his ability to build an innings through sheer concentration and good technique. Captained the side weU, possibly underestimating his own ability as a bowler.

W Bossenger He has developed into a competent wicketkeeper, and was a strength to the middle order. Likes to play positively, and handles pressure well. R Wallace Developed into a strong front foot batsman during the year. Aggressive in his stroke play, he prefers the hard wickets where the ball comes on to the bat. He has the correct approach, but needs to realise the importance of treating each ball on merit.

G Turvey He showed extreme guts and determination beyond his experience and years. Has a good, positive approach to his baUing - picks his shots well, but needs to develop his technique with regard to his back foot strokes.

S Hofmeyr Finally realised his true talent towards the end of the term. Extremely strong on his legs, but with a superb range of off- ide attacking shots. Needs to have more confidence in his ability. Undoubtedly the most talented player in the team. Proved useful as a bowler, which his left arm change in pace.

Never fully realised his potential. A big, strong hitter of the ball, but still needs to ralise the impor-tance of playing himself in before attacking. His biggest downfall remains his inability to concen-trate at the crease, and pick the correct balls. G Stoffberg Came into the side during the latter stages of the 4th term. Very attacking batsman, and relies heavily on a good eye-to-hand co-ordination. A good eye for the loose ball, but will need to work on his technique at this level. Scored many runs in the 2nd team. B Clark Undoubtedly the pick of the bowlers, a useful off-spinner with an ability to flight the ball well, often enticing batsmen into playing shots. Bowls a consistent length, and played a major role in limiting the opposition total.

K Marshall An example to everybody for sheer commitment. An excellent team man - bowled well during the year, but tends to pitch the ball short and slightly wide of the wicket. Very enthusiastic in his approach. G Craddock He has developed a superb action, but needs to work on some aggression if he is going to trouble the batsmen.

He has a wide variety of shots, and is strong square of the wicket on both side. He must learn to wait for the ball.

WBIIS /994 â€˘ 96

After months of planning and preparation, the departure date arrived. 16 boys and 2 staff members left South Africa for the West Indies to take part in the annual Sir Garlield Sobers InterSchools Cricket Tournament. What an experience it was to turn out to be! Only the second team from South Africa to take part in the event in Barbados, our biggest obstacle would be to overcome the conditions - both with regard to the playing surface and the weather! However, we settled down extremely well and did not take long to establish ourselves as a force. Barbados is an exceptionally friendly country. From the moment we touched down at the international airport, we were welcomed with open arms by the local organisers. The locals are very knowledgeable with regard to cricket matters cricket is the national sport of Barbados and is played all year round. What was particularly noticeable was the lack of facilities at both schools and clubs. Cricket nets are not the order of the day - practices are all in the form of middles. We found the playing surfaces extremely hard and weB-suited to playing shots. The pitches contain no liuer or grass. Participating teams were divided into two sections; the winners and runners-up of each section to be involved in semi-linals, and the winners of each semi-final to make up the fmal. The sections were made up with largely local West Indian teams and several schools from England. Matches were in the form of 40 overs. We did weB to win our section. thereby ensuring a semi-linal both against a local side, Coleridge and Parry. We managed to win the match comfortably and went on to play in the linal at the Kensington Oval - headquarters of Barbados cricket, and the only test venue on the island. Our opponents in the fmal were to be the Lodge School from Barbados, a side we had already accounted for in the earlier matches. What a day for Wynberg cricket! To play at the Kensington Oval is an experience most school boy cricketers could only dream of. What a dream come true to actually go on and win the tournament. Wynberg Boy's High School have become the lirst school outside of the West Indies lO win the tournament. Aside from the cricket, highlights of the sightseeing part of the trip included a cruise on a yacht up the coast; a guided lour of the island; an underwater experience of the reef in a submarine; and the experience of being part of the local Crop Over Festival, Kadooment Day. To add lo these experiences was the opportunity

to meet Sir Garlield Sobers. and amongst other great names, Sir Clyde Walcotl, chairman of the ICC. The trip ended off with a weekend slop over at Disney World, Orlando. AB in all, this was a lifetime experience and the opportunity was greatly appreciated by all. In conclusion, a word of thanks to Mr Probyn; to Mr Richardson in his capacity as masler-incharge of cricket; lo all the sponsors involved and to all the hard-working parents involved in the various fund-raising committees.

Our ultimate goal of playing good attacking cricket and enjoying the game was achieved, except maybe when we let it slip against United in our last game of the year. What a disappointment and anticlimax that was to the season, as we only managed to bowl out our opponents in the 80th over and then hang on for the draw. Generally though, our bowlers bowled a good tine and length, highlighted by A Bruni 7/14 vs Bosmandsam, D Henry 5/24 vs United and S Lambert 5/32 vs Cathk.in. Our batsmen also hit fonn, with G Stoffberg leading lhe way with an unforgettable innings of 154 not out vs Primrose and 73 vs SACS. These knocks deservedly earned hjm a caU-up lo the Ist XI. Other batting highlights included W McKcnrie 90 vs Primrose, M Barham 85 and 51 nolout vs Rondebosch (he obviously liked their attack) and L Johnson 51 not out vs SACS. Bath Mark Barham and Lyall Johnson led the Seconds with distinction and Warren van der Westhuizen proved an ideal backup as vice-captain throughout the season. Finally, I would like to thank all the players for their positive and enthusiastic approach to practices and games; the parents for their loyal support; lhc mothers for supplying lunches and teas; LiUlewood for their tasty lunches; and Phillip Thompson and Nicholas Newdigate who scored so diligently for the Seconds this year.

Shane Zeederberg led a very spirited side into some line wins, particularly against Rondebosch (1 wicket) and Bishops (73 runs). The side played well as a team with many playcrs contributing signilicantly with bat and baU - most noteworthy were Sham~'s 188 not our and Francisco Joshua's 100 not out in the same match againsl Strandfontein 1st XI, and Sean Lambert's 6 for 26 against Bishops. Other good individual achievements came from Poole (62 and 71), Ungerer (4-10, 3-17, 2-21), Bruni (32, 3-22, 3-40), Zeederberg (3-21, 63), Lambert (5-26, 2-15), Kirkman (3-23, 22路), Kalt (3-11), Beukcs (2-23).

The side's unbeated record speaks for itself (lO wins and I draw in II matches) and the fact that eight players represented the second team for some of the season indicates the depth of cricketing talent at Wynberg. The succ.;ss of Lhe Leam can be attribuLed 10 a number of factors, some of which deserve to be singled out: I: Francisco's good captaincy, good lielding and consistent batting in the top order; 2: rme wicket-keeping and many good solid starts from him (28*, 24, 20, 44, 72, 42) and Mark Coetzee (31, 21, 20); 3: excellent seam bowling

The batting was a little brittle, with the best scores coming from Shane Martin (47*, 73*). Penetrative bowling ensured that hte team was always in the game. Paul Jooste and Mudrique Patelia were the most consistent bowlers, taking 22 and 14 wickets respectively. Wayne Merris returned the best bowling figures of 6/25 against Westerford 3rds. Rookledge and Weeks bowled economically whenever called upon to do so. Several players who represented the 4th team have the ability to play at a much higher level if they put their minds to it.

all, a very impressive season, and it was a pleasure to coach such a spirited bunch of cricketers. ES Marais

MIDWEEK XI 6m

The two midweek sides were enthusiastically supported by a large number of boys. Ten away matches were scheduled for the last term, of which one was rained out and four were cancelled by the hosts. We played five matches and were soundly beaten in four. We ended the season with a tigh match lost against Rondebosch. 1. vs Bishops 123/10 - Wynberg 48/10 U Strandvik and R Scott bowled well to take 3 wickets each in their 3 avers. 2. vs Grasslands 62/5 - Wynberg 61/5 Wynberg batted first with K Henderson top scorer with 14.

Our batting was fragile and inconsistent. Only Ryan Cayley, who arrived from Bloemfontein in September, can claim to have excelled with the bat in the 4th forms, scoring over 200 runs in his six visits to the crease. Nizaan Allje made a cavalier 100 against Westerford, but lacked the di cipline lO do justice to his considerable talent. Our bowling was our strength. Albert Nkomo blasted his way through most of lhe sides we played against, picking up 41 wickets at fewer than 10 runs per wicket. His considerable pace was too much for most U IS batsmen. He was ably supported by Graham Coetzee and Nicholas Gordon, who both bowled a tight line and kept the balters under pressure. There were good wins against Westerford and SACS, and even draws against Bishops and Rondebosch. All in aU il was an encouraging season in which several players developed their game. The spirit in the side became a significant factor by the middle of the season and, as a result, the team played with more and more character as the season progressed. At the conclusion of the WP UIS trials, Nizaan AWe, Simon Martin and Albert Nkomo were chosen to represent WP at the PG Bison Week in Bloemfontein.

[n the beginning of the season the team struggled against some extremely strong opposition and lost convincingly to Bishops and Rivertonians. In the second half of the season, however, some team members put in incredible performances, allowing the team lo beat a very slrong Rivertonian side and narrowly lose to Bishops by a single wicket. Some noteworthy individual perfonnances were: A Johnson 55* against Rjvertonian: T Hillier 57 against Bellville Technical High School; B De Beer 5115 against SACS; B Mandel 6/34 againM Plumstead and C Porter 5/9 against SACS. The team always seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their cricket and built up a strong team

The aims we set ourselves this year were to improve our basic criekcting skills, involve all players in matches, and to enjoy our elves. One of the big problems we faced was that many in the team had only played mid-week cricket before and had lO get used to playing longer matches. However, the team improved steadily, with our batting showing the most progre s, and by the end of the . eason we were able to bat our full 36 overs, which we struggled to do earlier in the year. Generally our bowling and fielding wa consistent, without being spectacular, and we only failed to dismiss our opponents on two occasions. Throughout the year our spirit remained healthy and our two captains, Savas Bizinos and Nicholas Loubscher, made sure that all players were given a chance to either bat or bowl. In conclusion I would like to thank all parents who supported and transported the team all year. The team can look back on 1994 with a sense of achievement. J de Wool

narrow margin of runs or with only a few overs left. As part-explanation it should be borne in mind that with over 20 players available for selection, a policy was followed of giving all players some games, with the result that in no match did we fit!ld our strongest side. Our victories were against Bishops, Herzlia and Bergvliel. Batting was good if patchy, with Jacobs and Cowley topping the list; Manielle, Deane and Turner next in run total; followed by Brazendale, Samsodien, Ord, Small and Twine. Bowling was not a strong point of the side, with a wide by no means unpopular with eertain bowlers. (Three overs per bowler per 21-over innings allowed). But Jacobs and Cowley again shone with 1I111 and 10/34, followed closely by Small (9/21), Dcane (5118) and Anthony (3/6). In conclusion, we record our thanks to Jacobs Cowley and Small for their captaincy of the side: and congratulate Brazendale on his six difficult catches taken in an exciting Grassy Park match on the Cabbage Patch.

The team had an outstanding season, playing fifteen matches and losing only one. They were a pleasure to coach, nolonly because of their abundance of talent, but also because they were willing to work hard and play attacking cricket. The learn scored in excess of200 runs nearly every time when batting first, and very few teams scored more than 100 runs against our bowling attack. The fielding was always of a very high standard. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the three victories over the powerful Rondebosch team, who were our strongest opposition. The winning of the quadrangular competition was another highlight, and it again showed our ability to get big

scores. Our only loss was against SACS, bul we were able to gain revenge and beal them in the quadrangular and again later in the season. Both John Driver and Jonathan Murphy scored centuries against Settlers and Primrose respectively. Murphy scored by far the most runs, ending the season with an average of 48,6. Chris Meer, Warren Gadd and Granl Clark also scored a number of 50s, while Ryan Pillay, Breu Luman, Chris Meer and Warren Gadd were the main wicket takers. Warren Gadd achieved an incredible 8 wicket haul against Settlers. I look forward to watching them in the future at Wynberg, as some of the players have outstanding futures ahead of them.

From setting umbrella tieids which remained the same regardless of bowler or batter, he soon relaised that matches wee won or lost defending on tield positions. With this newfound knowledge, and coupled with increased confidence in batting, both he and the team improved in all aspects of the game. The spin bowling of Gerhard Posthumus was always good, while Mogamad Salie, Michael Frick and Justin Cullen (in his last game) returned good tigures with their seamers. At the beginning of the year, the batting was not really consistent enough to be memorable, but in the 4th term Colin Ohloffs 77 against SACS and Michael Jennings' 62* against Avendale showed everyone that high scores were possible. Grant Roberts and Chris Rookledge always threatened to score runs which hopcfuUy we shall in abundance in the future. The side improved by leaps and bounds against Bishops, in which the side reversed a previous defeat. The players of this team will give good service to Wynberg cricket in the years ahead.

This ensured a very good victory rate and we lost only one match. A memorable match was against SACS where we scored over 280 runs in 36 overs. The fourth quarter started badly. We lost 2 matches only through lack of concentration and the will to win. This, however, quickly improved and we went on to win all the rest of our games. It was the enthusiasm and team spirit thal made the side a pleasure to coach. Let us not also forget our failhful parent supporters' club, which cheered the learn on in success or failure. The spirit in the side would not have been the same without you. In all the learn did very well, with all players showing a lot of promise. I hope to sec you in higher teams next season. W Dickson

Wins over Fairbairn and Bishops by 2 and 3 runs respectively caused adrenalin-tiUed last overs, with Brundyn taking 4/18 and Sterling 3/18, and Milner hitting a solid 26 against Fairbairn. At Bishop, Shatz's controversial bowling technique saw him take 2/15 while Klop tra hit a huge 56 before departing to the "B" team!

U14 MIDWEEK CRICKET 1st Term 1994 The U 14 Midweek operated most successfully during the Ist term. There were a total of 52 boys involved, and every week either 3 or 4 games were played against other schools. Practices were held on Mondays. and matches on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. My thanks to senior players who were of great assistance in coaching and supervising middle practices. Various members of staff and students assisted at the matches. and thanks are due to parents who a sisted with transport and the tuck shop for supplying cool drinks for home matches. The format of the matches ensures that everyone is involved and even those who are not so naturally talented enjoyed themselves.

The Second Team golfers were quite successful in that they won two games, won two other games by default, and lost three games by narrow margins. They did well to beat Herzlia 71-56 and Milnerton 69-64. The games against Pinelands and JG Meiring were cancelled by our opponents

owing to their inability to field teams. We were bealed 72-70 by Tygerberg, 74-71 by Camps Bay and 58-51 by Bishops. All-round this was a creditable performance by a bunch of boys that had not had very much practice in the game till very recently. D Bromberger

This season, an U 16 league was introduced for the first time, replacing the U 15 league. From Wynberg's point of view, this worked quite well, with most of the teams in this age group improving on the previous season's showing. Several members of the U l6A team are still U 15, but it will probably be in their own interesL~ to play in the U 18 age group next season. As a result of the change of league structures, no new players filtered through to the U 18 league. Only six U 18 teams were thus fielded, with a large proportion of marrics in these teams. The first team had mixed fortunes, with several good victories in the first half of the season, losing their momentum in mid-season, and then clawing their way back in the latter stages. The fourth and fifth teams were both unbeaten, with the fifth team having a particularly uccessful season. The UI6 teams improved on this age group's performance over the last couple of years. The U 16A team lost one game, and most of the other teams won or drew the majority of their matches, although the U 16G and U 16H teams were often outclassed, playing against Band C teams most of the time. The U 14 age group was particularly strong. The U 14A and B teams each lost one game, while the U 14C and D teams were unbeaten. The D team regularly notched up double figures, even though they were pushed up a league in mid-season. The E, F and G teams generally held their own. During the April holidays, the U 16A team took part very successfully in the Queen's College festival, while the nIst learn made good strides at the Founders Festival in Bloemfontein. In May, the first team took part in the Southern Ascension Festival in Port Elizabeth. This year the first team played most of their matches at the same venues as the majority of the other teams, as opposed to playing on the Hartleyvale Astroturf. While many of the grass WBHSIm.

surfaces were obviously not favourably comparable to the astroturf, the opportunity for other teams in the school to see the first learn in action made this a beneficial exercise. The fields never recovered from the lack of watering during our summer (as a result of the water restrictions), and it was very difficult to practise the skills necessary in the modem game, although the first, second and U l6A teams practised on the astro regularly. Thanks to Messrs Kriel, Cooper, Van Rhyn and lhe grounds staff for their efforts on our behalf during the season. A lot of the credit for the success of Wynberg teams in this and previous seasons should go lO the coaches, several of whom have had to (uncomplainingly) coach two teams. Mrs Lynn Clark co-ordinated the running of the hockey tuckshop. It is said that an army marches on ils stomach; Wynberg hockey players did well on the doughnuts each week. All of us involved with hockey on Saturday mornings are sincerely grateful to all the mams who looked after us so well every Saturday.

Rodney Jenkins neued twice in his second match for the side against a useful Bergvliet team in driving rain and gusting wind. The team is to be commended on their 3-1 victory in such miserable conditions. This was an above average team that played with much determination and courage. Both our losses were disappointing, but then again so were many of our draws, as we had multitudinous (if there is such a word describing VERY MANY) opportunities upon which we did not capitalise. While the mid field play was superb, our defence was found wanting at times and put us under unnecessary pressure. To the parents who transported and supported go

The past six months have been filled with victories and we did not lose a match against any other school side. In spirit we rivalled even the Ist learn. In the 4th learn there is a great. ense of friendship and comradeship which comes, I feel. due to our position of being a highly competitive. yet relaxed and unpressured team.

Players: The third hockey team had a magnificent season this year. Guided by our coach, Mr Ten Vellhuis, the 3rd team lost only one game the entire senson. Our success was also the result of the tremendous spirit in the tenm. The forwards for the team were M D'Oliviera, A Hillier and B Thoreson, who were all rewarded with important goals through their antics. B Wilsnagh, D Kennedy and W van der Westhuizen secured the mid-field for the tenm. and proved their worth many times. The defence consisted of A Kemp, I Nixon, B Urquat, B Glen (vice-captain) and D Bright (captain), which re ulted in T Matee, our goalie, having a few actionles games, but his great goal-saving skills were most beneficial to the team. The 3rd team would like to thank Mr ten Yelthuis for his dedication and support throughout the season, as well as all the parents who supported us. D Bright (Captain)

HOCKEY U16B

The U 16A had a full and involved season in which they improved steadily and achieved commendable results. Kevin Liddie was an enthusiastic captain who was always exhorting his troops to greater heights. They always endeavoured to play thoughtful hockey and they will do weU for Wynberg in the years ahead. The strength of the side was the defence where very few goals were conceded. Simon Martin stood out as a player with very exiting potential. Including the Indoor Tournameni, he only allowed 9 balls 10 cross his line during the entire season. The most improved players in the ide were Gary Thoreson and Breit Mandel, whose defence work and creativity in atuck were impreSSive. The link line of Steven Wolf, Grant Clark and Chns Pouertan showed flair and an ability to read the flow of the game. Initially the forwards

The team reached the semi-finals of both the field tournament and the Indoor Hockey Tournament, losing both on penalty nicks. The team's success was built on a sound defence - there were several games in which goalkeeper Michael Jacobs never touched the bail - a creative midfield and fast forwards. Jonathan Murphy was very solid at centre back, while Rizaan Lackay was a skilful, attacking right half. In midfield, Albert Nkomo always made his presence felt, and combined well with Simon Revington, a very creative right link. At right wing, Reagan Thomas used his speed to good effect, and Robert Paterson was always dangerous at centre forward. Sharief Hoosain scored some good goals from left wing. The bulk of the goals were scored by Albert and Robert, with twelve goals each. M Ruslrby

It's a pleasure to see so much talent in an U 14B side. The team spirit was kept up throughout the season, and good team hockey was witnessed on the park. All of the players improved during the season, with C Bright, C Meer and R Pillay occasionally playing for the A side. Up front was the striking power of D Clark, R Pillay, C Meer and S Brown, even though at times it didn't look like any power at all. The mid field of SCIarke, S Rhodes and C Bright was good in creating openings and goal-scoring moves, although nol when only one hand was used. The defence of G Blankenberg, SNaar, G Frazer, J Cullen and K Lawrence was solid at most times, but play had to be let through for the keeper E Benjamin or A Isaacs to have same fccl of the bail.

The U 14D team enjoyed a great season - a record of played 12 won 12 (63 goals for and I against) speaks for itself. During the second tenn this team outclassed all opposition, including 10-0 and 10-1 victories over Bishops and Rondebosch respectively. This resulted in promotion to thc C league in the third term, when the team had to battle for each win. Most notable victories were over Bergvliet C (with the winning goal in the fmal minute by Robert Kent) and Fish Hoek B. Goalkeeper John Jones was excellent (especially against Bergvliet). The backs, Brendan Quinlivan and Julian Auret, tackled hard and spread the ball intelligently from the back. Karl Langman's reliability, Brent Carsten en's passing ability and Danit!1 Faria's slick skills were the recipe for an effective mid field. The initial forward line of Craig van der We~thuizen, Robert Kent, Chris Garvey, Alex ovitzky and Rory Ord was uperb.

The 1994 season has been one of mixed fortunes. Our Ist XV had a very promising first half of the tour of the Transvaal, but a very disappointing second half. Nevertheless, they ended off the season on an exceptional note when they defeated Bishops in an exhilirating display of 7-a-side rugby at Villagers, and won the tournament. A number of teams played magnificent 15-man rugby and also produced excellent results. Special mention ought LO be made of the UI6B, UI4A and U l4C teams. This season the coaches got together and devised a rugby philosophy by which we then followed definitive guidelines with regard to techniques and skills, and we are convinced that we will reap the benefits of this in the years to follow. Once again no other school could match Wynberg solely on the number of boys playing rugby, and we had 21 teams entered in the respective leagues. It was brought to my attention on several occasions how fortunate we are to have the quality of coaches that we do have at Wynberg, and I am indebted to them for their support, commitment and pooled knowledge. For the first time our 1st XV will have two coaches in 1995, and we trust that Messrs Polden and Van Schalkwyk will have a most successful and fulfiUing 1995 season. Another first for Wynberg is our Rugby Committee. This Committee was fonned with a view to coordinating and channelJing the enthusiasm of parents into various directions. Under the able chainnanship of Mr K Alborough, we trust that the Committee, consisting of Messrs Rose-Innes, Fyfe, Karpinslli, Snyman, Du Preez and Barnard, wiU have a most rewarding tenn of office. We at Wynberg are totally committed to producing results that will make every player, coach, parent and Old Boy proud to be associated with rugby al Wynberg, and furthennore playing the type of rugby that will also bring enjoyment to all involved, as enjoyment is an essential part of any

RUGBY 1ST XV "You 're liever a Loser UIltiJ you slop tryulg" - Mike Dilke The above expression probably summarises the st:ason and the attitude of ,the 1 st XV the best except, maybe. the match against SteUenberg. A tea'!! who played with a lots of guts and determination; who played with flair and purpose and who was proud to represent the school. The sad part of the season is that lhe results are not a good reflection of the success of the season. The season can probably be divided into two distinct halves. The first half of the season the Ist XV only lost four malches, while in lhe second half we could only win one of our matches. Despite all these setbacks the team spirit remained extemely high and I would like to thank Marc Turvey and Lyall Johnston for this. I also want to congratulate them on their excellent leadership during the season and thank them for their input in the selection of the leam. The main objective of lhe team this sea on was to play open, advenlurous, running rugby, and tlle 35 tries they scored are a tribute to their success. During Lhe June holiday the Isl XV loured lhe Transvaal and did extremely well, especially in the match against St Johns, who are regarded as one of the top three Johannesburg teams. The highlights of the tour must be the "nightlife" at Hartweespoort, Stephen 8amard's gambling skills, Mr Bean's marathon warm-up at Pretoria, M Karpinski's dive to score his second try against Hartweespoort, and Trompie's elusive running against St Johns. The following players played in all the matches: M Roodman, E O'Sullivan, D Rynn, J du Preez. Marius scored the mo t points (I13), with Marc scoring the most tries (6). Tha.nk you to Mr Kriel and Mr Chapman (. Bean ') for the outstanding job they did on lour, and also lo Mr Kriel for hi support and advice during the season. Also, my thanks lO the parents for their support and for their fundraising effort".

SUMMARY

OF MATCHES

vs Potchefstroom {6-01 In a clo ely contested match at our rugby day, we hung in desparall~ly to defeat Potch. The points came from a penalty in each half by Roodman. The wet condition made a mockery of any attempt at free-handling and finesse.

vs Swel1elldam High SchooI143-6/

Seven tries underlined the extent to which we dominated thi match The forward~ provided a solid platform for the backs' consistent attacks. Secure handling and the timely intrusion of D Murrayallowed the wings to have good runs, and A Croflon (1) and M Arbuthnot benefited from thi.

We startc:d in ~cnsational fa. hion with Turvey r.lcing through the Bishops defence to score. Unfortunately bad dcf.:ncc in the second half, mi,>!..:edopportunities and the forwards who could not keep their !irst half pressure on Bishops could he seen as th.: main r.:asons for our defeat.

I'S

Paarl Boys' High {17-20}

Another one that got away. We were in control for most of the game, with our forwards playing with a lot of guts, but unfortunately enforced errors cost us the match. Crofton scored the only try after excellent second phase play. The rest of the points came from four penalties via the boot of Roodman. I'S

SI Johns /22-16}

The flnal score belies the standard of Wynberg's performance, as they had the game well in control before the notorious altitude took its toll. Crofton played probably his best game for the 1st team. Murray, Du Preez and Johnson were the try scorers, with Roodman kicking the rest of the points. Mills, Barnard and Du Preez played well while Schoeman did himself proud at fullback. I'S

Hartebeespoort {43-6}

Not a very spectacular match. We scored six tries in this match, with Karpinski scoring two tries in his debut. This match also saw Alisdair's longawaited conversion. The other tries were scored by Schoeman, Roodman and White. Roodman kicked four conversions and a penalty. I'S

Pretoria Boys' High [6-6J

We were lucky to draw this match. The match was played in freezing conditions, with the players looking tired and flatfooted. Price and Du Preez stood out with their workrate. Poor discipline from Roodman towards the end probably cost us the match. I'S Bishops [5-40} Once again the score doesn't lell the true story. We dominated the first 25 minutes, with Bishops hardly threatening the halfway line. Poor defence and goalkicking, playing with only 14 men and losing Johnson were the major reasons for the result. However, the 1st team did not give up and played with a lOLof guts until the fLOalwhi tie.

I'S

SteIJenberg [6-35J

Stellenberg outplayed us completely and were superior in all departments. This must be regarded as one of the poorest performances of a Wynberg team. Roodman kicked two penalties.

SltCS {IO-O}

A good win in awful conditions. The forwards laid the foundation for this win. Ruffel and Johnson played well, with Lyall scoring the only try after a quick ruck was won. Marius kicked the conversion and added a penalty. I'S

playing a blinder. Eddie scored our only try with the rest of the points coming from Roodman through a conversion and a penalty.

Paarl Gymnasium {10-42}

In spite of the absence of even 1st team players, credit is due to the team for their guts and fighting spirit. Forwards played well, with Karpinski

Rondebosch [8-16}

A very evenly contested match which could have gone either way. Poor goalkicking cost us the match at the end. Harding scored a good try in the opening minutes but good defence from Rondbeosch kept us away from their tryline. Springett added a penalty in the second half. Rondebosch only secured victory with about 5 minutes remaining. VS

Drostdy [11-14}

A match in which we won every department of play except the result. Once again poor goalkicking was our downfall. O'Sulljvan, Harding, Turvey and Johnson played well. Turvey scored the try with Springett successful with two penalties. I'S

SACS [17-0}

Probably the match of the season, with backs and forwards combining well. Forwards laid the foundation for a superb backline performance with Roodman dictating the game. The loose-forwards, especially Mills, played their hearts out. Strong running from Turvey, Harding's elusive running and Johnson's performance were a joy to watch. Tries were scored by Turvey (2) and Du Preez, with Springett converting one.

CRITIQUES OF PLA VERS M Turvey (centre, 17) A strong runner, deadly tackler, unselflsh and an extremely good captain - these characteristics made Marc probably one of the best players Wynberg has produced. A great future await him. Scored 6 tries. Represented WP Schools.

lot of character and they played the kind of rugby that is expected of real Wynberg men. During the first half of the season the team was captained by Stephen Barnard, then Rodney Adamstein took over the captaincy. Both these two players played an important role in the 2nd team. Their enthusiasm and their willingness to lead by example must be mentioned. Players who improved significantly this year were Liam Brown, Frank Holland, Sean Beukes and Garelh O'Brien. Consistent performances which had a huge effect on the Learn came from James Roberts, Christopher Baister, Willem Lotter and Greg Sidman. On behalf of the team and myself, I would like to thank Mr Polden for all his valuable bacldine coaching and advice, and Mr Schenck for his assistance as third team coach. To the players, thank you for a fine season. PJ Kriel

There comes a time in every sportsperson 's life when victory eludes you no matter what you do or how hard you try. The important thing is that you musL keep on trying - lhis characterised the 3rd XV at Wynberg this season. Out of all the games they played they only managed to win one, but not once did they ever give up. The team was not overly blessed with talent, bul by the end of the season it was evident that t.he general skill level had improved and the boys had a greater under-standing of the game. Fitness was a factor that needed constant attention, but was never high on the priority list of the players. The most frustrating element of coaching at this level i thal the team does not stay the same from one week to the next and it is difficult lo develop a pattern. The one positive element that emerged from this ea on wa the spirit that the boys created and the comradery that existed. Who could ever forget the Bishop mudbath'l

WaIt Disney said that you can achieve your dreams if you have the courage to pursue il. This team decided that they wanted to score 50 tries this season and in pursuit of this dream they played open running rugby. Dale Barker scored 15 of the team's tries, while Kyle Snyman scored most points with his accurate boot. In losing only one game this season (Paarl Gym 5-10) they played magnificent rugby by beating Paul Roos (19-17), Paarl Boys (31-11), Bishops (22-0 and 12-0), Rondebosch (13-8 and 22-0) and the best game of the season, Drostdy (71-0). The team was ably led by Craig Coltham until his injury, and then Michael McEwen did a great job. The forwards were kept together by Luke Baker. The front-row of Marc Farr, Kurt de Beer and Luke Baker proved much too strong for any opposItIon. In the scrums they were wellsupported by the powerful scrumming of Simon Burke, and in the line-outs nobody had the better of the high-ranking Donovan Henry. Although the loose-forwards were small, they outplayed the opposition by sheer gutsiness as displayed by Leon van Biljon and AndrĂŠ van Kets. The backs were all skilful and had some enterprising moves which led to many tries. Jacques Bock had excellent hands and a sure boot, while the centres, Peter Kirsten arid Michael McEwen, set up the hard-running wings Brandon Londt, Chris Braham and especially Dale Barker, for numerous tries. Although all players contributed to the succes of the team through hard work and being receptive to the advice of the coach, the following should play 1st XV in years to come: Kyle, Dale, Marc, Luke, Donovan and Michae!. I would like to thank the players for a most enjoyable season and the parents for their upport.

WBHS 1994.

We were a very suceessful testbed and proving ground for players, as of the thirty players who represented the team, only three returned to the D side. We had a very good season, playing attractive running rugby and scoring 48 tries: 9 against Bishops (53-5) and 9 against Paarl Boys' High (55-0). After a terrible start against Settlers U 16A (lost 55-0), where our scrum still won the tighthead count 5-1, we worked hard at basic skills. building on our own strength, and bounced back to beat Bishops (53-5) the next Saturday. Tremendous team-spirit was built up over the season and each team change was taken in its stride as each new player was made to feel an essential part of the skilful and highly motivated team. I thank a group of players who gave me of their best when asked and who were only beaten by teams betler on the day. J G Louw

Other highlights of the season were defcoting the unbeaten sides of Paarl Boys' High (12-10) and Drostdy (57-5); and SACS (37-0). Probably on.: of lhe most exciting games of the season was the return match against Rondebosch which we lost in the final minutes (7-13), after leading for most of the match.

Discipline in this group was a problem and as a group, the boys did not enjoy working hard to achieve a certain goal. I fell sorry for the boys who were serious about their rugby and wanted to practise hard. Towards the end of the season most of the boys Sl1lrted co-operating and practices went off a lot smoother and attendance was 100%. The season had its bright moments and the 28-0 victory against a bigger JG Meiring B-side with only fourteen men was definitely the brightest. The victory against Rondebosch at home deserves to be mentioned as the side lost 75-0 to them in the away game. John O'SuILivan and Matthew Brown scored the most points. Shane Koortzcn developed into a fine fullback. Shaun Young's play improved in leaps and bounds. D Nienaber

T King, T Delport, R Janik, S David, A Kei all, N Burgess, D Nel, D ErxJeben This side had a difficult season. They played against side that were either too strorg or where the age of many of the players could be questioned. This game did not help with the motivation or the approach to the game. Absenteeism and negativity were tJle biggest obstacles the coach had to overcome, and having proper practices was virtually impos ible until very late in the season. Some of the e players did not

want to play for a higher side, which made motivating them a problem. In quite a few cases playcrs did not turn up for their matches. We had to fill up the side with players from the under fourteen division on many occasions. It was therefore a season WitJl very few highlights to thc coach and the players. Hopefully they will be able to play against sides matching their strength next season.

P Good, M Jacobs, Z Snyman, J Stevens, JP de Villiers, W Gadd, G McFarlane, J Driver, J Mein~ies, G Havers, D Alborough, C Strydom, D Fyfe, B Bylin, C Rookledge The team developed into an awesome unit as the season progressed. The rrnal record speaks for itself. with the team playing 15 matches and winning 13 of them. The team scored 462 points (including Âą 70 tries) and had only 81 points scored against them. This suecess wa.s built around a big, aggressive pack of forwards who drove well and sel up good second phase ball. The ball was then wcll used by a fast and skilful backlinc. The team played attractive rugby throughout, with the backs and forwards combining well. This was particularly evident in a malch in which we beat Rondebosch 63-3 and in two big victories again t Bishop. However, we also had some narrow victories over Paarl Gym (17-14), Paarl Boys (14-5) and SACS (13-12), in which the team showed a lot of gul. Unfortunately we lost our relurn game against SACS in an exhilirating match (10-12). The team developed a great spirit and all 15 players were committed to the team and its success. They worked hard at practice and were willing to learn, and it paid off in the end with some outstanding re ults. They were a pleasure to coach and I look forward lo watching them in future years.

B Andrews, A Robertson, 0 van der Vyfer, J Fuchs After a shaley start lo the season, the team settled down well, winning their last eighl games in a row. The side played exciting rugby, scoring many tries through both wings. A strong feature of their rugby was their ability to retain possession, thereby setting up good second and third phase ball for the backs to run with. This was most evident in the highlight of the season, the game against SACS, which was won by more than 50 points. What was particularly pleasing to note wa the gradual improvement of certain playe~ during the season. This is a very talented side Wilh a bright future for many players. There was a good spirit throughout the season, which undoubtedly contnbuted to their many successes. In conclusion: my thanks to the captain who led

the side so capably; to Mr Van Schalkwyk for his help; lO Mr Stanford for standing in so willingly during the cricket tour to Barbados; and finally to all the parents for their continued support. Mr D RIlsseIl

discipline and team Spirit, and for the boys to enjoy the game and the season. Generally these aims were wdl realized. The C's in particular were very successful, often playing outstanding rugby and averaging 29 points to 5 in their 11 games. They also scored 58 tries to 8 and shared the junior trophy for the team with lhe best points for/against record with lhe U 14A team. The D team took longer la seule down and lost the flTSt four games they played, bul from then on went from strength to strength, and were most capable by the end of the season, changing a 20-0 loss to Bishops U13A to a 17-7 win, and a 32-0 loss to Rondebosch to a 34-12 victory.

(Bishops, SACS, Rondebosch UI4E). This can be attributed to the fact that the team had an excellent spirit all through the year. The true lighting spirit of Wynberg clearly came through in a few games that we played out of our league. Overall it was a pleasant year in which we had lots of fun. We want to thank all the parents who supported us so wholeheartedly.

Thc U 14F is most certainly the only team who never practised and played with the same teams. Despite this minor disadvantage the team perfanned well by winning halfoftheir matches. The team didn't produce any forthcoming Springboks this year, but it is worthwhile mentioning the names of Fryer and Thompson, who gave of their best throughout the season.

7-A-SIDE RUGBY ViJInger's 7-a-Side Wynberg entered three sides this year, with the C-team consisting mainly of U 16 players. The Band C-teams were both beaten in the flrst round of the competition. The C-team lost their first match in the plate competition, while the B-team lost narrowly against Zwaanswyk A in the quarterfmais of the plate. The Wynberg A-team produced a magnilicent display of sevens rugby throughout the tournament, especially in the finals against the favourites, Bishops. En route to the linal, Wynberg showed that they were poised for greater things. In the lirst match they beat Table View B convincingly to meet Rondebosch B in the second round. In a controversial match the team showed guts and detennination to edge out their opponents 19-15 in a nailbiting linish. The quarter-linal was a relatively easy match against Plumstead (38-5), taking us into the semi-finals against highly rated Rondebosch A. In an excellent match Wynberg walked off the field as winners (17-10) to fmd themselves in the final against Bishops. A two-try blitz by R Adamstein wrapped up the enthralling final to give Wynberg a well-deserved 26-17 victory. It will be unfair to single out players but R Adamstein and G Turvey need to be mentioned for their role in our victories, especially against Rondebosch A and Bishops A in the fmal. Well done, team - the school and Old Boys are proud of you.

HamiiJons 7-a-Side Once again Wynberg entered lhree leams, all the teams consisting mainly of Std 9 and U 16 players. The B- and C-teams were unable to record a victory, with our B-team playing exceptionally poor rugby. The A-leam won their section to meel SACS in the quarter-finals. In a very hard game Wynberg were the winner (15-10), to meet Rondcl>osch A, once again, in the emi-finals. With the score 10-10 at the linal whistl,

1994 has been a phenomenal year for Wynberg squash. Our 1st team has swept all before them, winning every major trophy available for squash in the country. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly winning the nation's top schools tournament at Pietermaritzburg. This tournament is attended by the top school from each of the 8 provinces, and Wynberg went through the tournament unbeaten. In the rmal we came up against a strong St Stithian's side consisting of 4 out of 5 Transvaal U 19 players, but we still managed to win 4-1 in a final that was a lot tighter than the scoreline suggests. On the local front, our 1st team won the schools' knock-out, lhe schools' league and went through to the annual Bishops tournament, featuring 12 schools from throughout the country, unbeaten. The whole Wynberg team represented Weslern Province at either U 19 or U 16 level (\nd worked really hard at their game this season. The professional coach from England, Doug Foulkes, also made a huge difference with his sound knowledge of the game and good rapport with the players. Miguel Rodrigues had an outstanding season al no 1, culminating in his selection for SA Schools U 19 at the annual interprovincial. He lost to only 3 schoolboys in the season - all of them SA Schools players. His incredible fitness and speed WBIIS 1994.

E Dippenaar

enabled him to pick up virtually everything and made it all but impossible for opponents to win points against him. If he can tighten up his length and develop a more decisive volley, he would be an awesome player. Brent Stander at no 2 also had a remarkable season. He played in the winning Western Province U 19A side and developed considerably this season in terms of his racquet skills. He moves well on court and volleys instinctively, so that he has a big future in the game. He was the only schoolboy in the country to beat SA Schools no 1 Alain Nestel (ex-Wynberg) this year. Earl Dippenaar at no 3 had a superb season. As an U 15 he won the national U 16 champion title in Port Elizabeth and was ranked no 2 in the country at U 16 level. H is commitment to the game and awesome touch make him a difficult opponent. He will go right to the top if he continues to work at his game. He was unbeaten at no 3 for Wynberg and set up the Top Schools win with a demolition job in the first match, when his St Stithian's opponent could manage only 9 points. Jake Bester really came through strongly this year. He developed the ability to volley and this, together with his awesome peed, made him one of the top players in the country at U 16 level. (no 6). He also displayed tremendous character on numerous occasions, fighting back from seemingly hopeless situations to win pressure matches. In the Ijl

final of the top schools tournament, Jake rallied from 1-2 and 0-5 down to draw level at 2-1. 0-5 down again the fifth he once again drew on a seemingly endless supply of guts to win 10-9 in the fifth. A great competitor. Antonio Bruni would have accompanied the side to Pietermarit7..burg but he was in the Caribbean with the I st XI cricket side. He has arguably the most talent in this side, but not enough discipline. The result is that he cannot concentratc for long enough without going for a fancy winner or something when actually his incredible agility, racquet skill and fitness would carry him through every time if he were more disciplined. Grant Acutt always gave 100% at all times. He was superbly fit and able la run forever. He is inclined to lose his cool under pressure, but lhis is improving all the time and he won a huge baule against himself when he clinched a memorahle win in the Top Schools final a fier 14 matchpoints at 9-9 in the fifth! This did a lal for his confidence and ability to handle pressure without cracking. Tyrone Jefiha is slill U 15 and has immense talent. At pre ent he plays in stages. He will be good for a week to two weeks and then for no particular reason, his game will suddenly drop and he appears lethargic and unmotivated. At best he is a really top player ranked no Il in the country at U 16 level. But he has to learn more discipline

in hi~ game so that he can perform to his ability every time he goes on court. There are a host of other top players in the school. We have Gareth and Craig Wobbe, Jason anu Simon de Will, Grant Kingwill, to name but a few. Our senior and junior teams all had outstanding seasons. Of the II leagues we entered we played in the trials of nine, winning only three of Ulem - but then these were the Ist team, 2nd leam and U 15A! The spirit in the club was great with players coming back after their league matches to walch lhe Ist leam, and Wynberg was also awarded the Eckstem Trophy for the best overall squash school in the Western Province.

The U 15 squash at Wynberg was extremely strong this year, witht he U 15A team achieving the double by winning both the league and the knockout competition. It is always pleasing to see such talented players coming up through the ranks and

WBHS J994.

we look forward to lhem performing equally well in open squash next year. Unfortunately the other Ui5 teams were not as successful as the UI5A team, often due to the fact that they were matched against A teams from other schools and totally outclassed. Ncvertheless, the boys always tried hard and all the other learns ended around the middle of their respective leagues. Our main objective with the U 15 group was to teach them the basics of squash. This objective was by-and-Iarge achieved, with most of the players improving as the season progressed. Mark Langleyand Patrick O'Donnell were two boys whose squash improved drastically this season. Mark scored a win over a Western Province U i4 player at the end of August in the knock-out tournament, and Pal rick went through the knockout tournament unbeaten. Congratulations to Craig Wobbe, who remained unbeated al number one in the U 15A learn throughout the season. Kevin Brown

Tennis continues lo nouri h at Wynberg with aU players enjoying their Friday afternoon or Saturday morning league tennis. The first team, under the captaincy of Justin Rookledge, lost to Stellenberg as expected this year, but lost the league by WBIfS /994 â€˘ IJJ

drawing in matches and sets with the newly promoted Tableview team in an appalling display of tennis on a particularly windy day in the northern suburbs. It is with regret that we must bid fareweU to Justin Rookledge this year. He has heen a first team stalwart for the past three years, having lost one singles match in his high school career. Not only was he a reliable and efficient tennis captain, but he set a great example to all in his attitude both on and off the court. He will be sorely missed. We wish him weU in his future endeavours. Wynberg could boast no provincial representation this year as Justin Rookledge made himself unavailable owing to a clash with a cricket tour to Barbados. This did not prevent him winning the School Championship Singles title for the second consecutive year when he beat Mario Faure 7-6, 6-1. Between the two of them, Justin and Mario did an excellent job in running the championships, and are well-deserving of my grateful thanks. Mario Faure also helped coach the standard six teams in the fust term and I thank him for his time and skills. On the insistence of the boys, a successful and spirit-building tour was undertaken at the end of the first term to Johannesburg to participate in the Wayne Ferreira Challenge, an invitation-only tournament hosted by Parktown Boys' High School. Spurred on by the occasion and the venue, the boys played some superb tennis to win the plate event after being knocked out of the main tournament by the eventual winners. Watching the SA Davis Cup

team in action against the Romanians was an added bonus. The parents involved are lO be lhanked for their fund-raising efforts. To Mr V Polden, Ms B ConneUan, Ms T Cairns, Mrs M Fischer, Mr B Greenwood and Mr J Blom, I extend my deep gratitude for the lime and effort spent in coaching tennis at Wynberg. It is due entirely to their hard work that we can offer so many boys the opportunity to play the sport they enjoy. Finally to the boys themselves for playing to the best of the ability at all times and with great enthusiasm, poLiteness and modesty, I thank you. These qualities on your part make coaching a pleasure. AWARDS Colours:

Congratulations to Franko Maritz and Robert Laio, who were selected for the Western Province UIl7 side. According to their coach they gave an excellent account of themselves and were very consistent and reliable in their performances for their province. The A-team maintained a high level of play. However, three lapses of concentration caused them to go down against Mondale and twice against Bergvliet. By only managing to win six out of nine matches played, they made the road to the fmal very difficult for themselves by having lO play the stronger teams in the quarter- and semifinals. They managed, however, to beal St Columbus and lhe German School respectively. In the final cliffhanger against Bergvliet, Wynberg's detennination, spirit and sheer guts proved to be too much for Bergvliet's efforts. They were beaten in true Wynberg tradition in the final rally set.

Numerous cLinics, tours combined with off-season-training and the emergence of the Wynberg Old Boys' Water Polo Club, has finally resulted in a vintage year for our first team. 1994 must rate as one of the most successful years in Wynberg' Water Polo history. At the start of the year certain goals were set: such a

striving to be the best team and attempting to get a good number of players into the various WP teams. Not only did the teams reach these goals. but they went on to achieve far more! The year started off on a high with a memorable 14-2 win over traditional rivals SACS, with captain and SA Schools forward, Mark Templeton, notching up 8 goals! In February the side participated in the annual Selborne tournament held in East London, where many of the country's top schools gathered to compete for the Vides Cup. The team achieved the best record for a WBHS side, reaching the semi-finals, but unfortunately losing to a strong St Stithian '5 team 1-5. However, in the final analysis, they came 4th oul of the 14 schools taking part - a sound achievement. By now the team had moulded into a tight unit and were ready to tackle any further challenges from the teams in the Peninsula. On returning they beat Rondebosch 5-0, Bishop 3-0 and then thrashed HerzLia 9-1 and Westerford 10-5 to end off the fITst term on a high!

WBHS /994. /J9

The side started off the 4th term on a disastrous note during the annual SACS tournament. Aller a sound build-up to the tournament during the offseason, Mark Templeton was forced to withdraw a few days before the flrst match due lO an ankle mJury. His loss, combined with often poorly disciplined play, saw the team only managing 10 win one of 9 matches, even through 5 of them were only lost by I goal. After this low point much character was needed to prepare for the Mazinter Cup play-offs. The team won the quarter-fmals against Fish Hock and the st:mi-finals against Westerford comfortably but then came up against their main rivals, Bishops, in a highly charged final, held at Wynberg. Il 'was a nailbiting affair with both teams level at 6-6 into the final chukka. In the last minute Paul Templeton let loose with a long range scorcher to clinch the match 7-6! lt was the first time Wynberg had won the Marinter Cup since 1986. During the last few weeks of the season the team played highly disciplined and attractive attacking water polo and as a re uit registered resounding victorie over Rondebosch 10-2, SACS 7-1, Pinelands 11-1 and Fish Hoek 14-4.

They only lost one of their twelve matches and played attractive, attacking water polo throughout the season. The leam was very well led by Donovan Ryan and Myles Lord, who instilled the discipline and leam spirit that moulded the team inlo such a successful unit. Marc Lamoral

The U 19 E & F has had anoUler hard year at polo, playing sides who are inevitably much higher than them. The results do not however reflect what is most important - namely the enthusiasm and team spirit that prevailed amongst the players. We can certainly look back at an enjoyable, if not illustrious, year! J Buc/wnan

The 3rd and 4th waler polo sides both enjoyed a season of mixed fortunes with some fine wins and some disappointing losses. Although players like Thomas (3rds) and Molyneux (4ths) played some solid polo, neither side really had any real stars. The boys aH played together and displayed some fine spirit and sportsmanship even when the chips were down. Memorable games for the 3rd were Westerford and Bishops, and for the 4ths were Sea Poinl 2nds and SACS. D M Schenck

Teams:

This past season can be divided into four phases. The fU'st phase was the first term when we had an average side that was pre-pared to work. We unfortunately had to play Rondebosch when N Barnard and C du Preez were playing for WP U 16 and W Scott was injured. This resulted in our only defeat in the league for the entire year. The second phase was the tour to East London; a great learning experience, which the boys seized with both hands. Twenty-two of the top teams in South Africa participated and we ended an creditable tenth. C du Preez was nominated as one of lhe five best players at the tournament.

Summary of Results Played JJ WOII 6 Goals For 33

I would like to thank Mr Rob Templeton for all his help as assistant coach. To the parents a special thanks for all the fund-raising and to the boys - the lour was "Huge" (said only as you guys can).

The fourth phase of this supcrb cason was the remaining league fLXtures. Here the team showed its class wilh some great displays, the match against Bishops probably being the bcsl. We remained unbeaten in the fourth term. From an average, hard-working learn, this team developed into an exccllenl learn with a lost of talent and skills, always being prepared to learn and improve, and therefore making a uccess of their season. Well done to Barnard on being selected for the WP V 16 team and to C du Preez on his inelusion in the WP U 19 B team. W Stallford

There wa an enthu-siastic spirit within the group and one has the impression that these players will contribute much to our school's polo in the years ahead.

Both sides showed a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for water polo and all practices were very well attended. Unfortunately they were often matched against very much stronger sides and did not do very well in those matches. They nevertheless played with enthusiasm and determination and their game has improved markedly. H len Vellhuis, N de Carpenrier

~I,,--__ O_L_D_B_O_Y_S_' _S_P_O_R_T _ __,I~ Once again a most enjoyable day's rugby was played against Old Boys' teams, with a record number of teams turning out. On the whole, the Old Boys' teams were too strong, but in many cases the school's sides gave the older men a good run for the money. The 1st XV performed admirably against a very strong Old Boys XV with a number of excellent tries being scored.

The following players represented the Old Boys XV: Andrew Wylie, Clayton Prins, Wayne Friedmond, Michael Munroe, Mark Plister, Bruce Sharp, Craig Turvey, Chris Luman, Bruce Keytel, Peter Van Schalkwyk, Craig Weeks, Rory Cole, Ardi Badenhorst and Ryan Scott. CJ Lwnan
