EDITORIAL be different. The education system as we know it will, in all probability, change during the cour e of next year.

Furthermore, matters are not going to become easier, and hence it will be necessary for us to wrest the initiative and work as a united body to achjeve the aims and goals that we et ourselves; our own high internal standards. Sacrifices will bave to be made and a tremendous amount of time and effort directed towards maintaining these standard .

So let us go forth into the new era with a positive frame of mind, determined to make a success of all the challenges we are set.

May 1994 herald a period of growth, upliftment and prosperity for us all.

27 April 1994 - a date that heralds an air of uncertainty for all Soutb Africans; not only as far as political issues are concerned, but al 0 regarding education issues.

All parties under the education umbrella are uncertain as to what the future holds: teachers are concerned about their futures; pupils about their education; parents about their children and tbeir schooling; and headmasters about tbeir school and the whole education spectrum.

Will we still have Model A, B, C or D schools next year?

If not, what will be the alternatives?

It would be foolish to speculate as to what the position will be under a particular government, but reasonable to acknowledge that circumstances and conditions will probably

THE EDITORIAL COMMITTEE

FROM THE HEADMASTER magnifying gla.ss and, as I said before, we, the teaching staff, feel tbat homework is an extension of the school day. It must become the responsibility of the family to see tbat homework is done.

We ·are serious about education, so serious that it must actually influence family life.

My first year at Wynberg has been full and exciting and there is so much 1 want to share, but when one looks at the range of activities that take place, there is not time to cover even a fraction of them. The Newsletters are very comprehensive and cover, on a termly basis, the scbool's activities.

I would like to highlight just a few of the activities in which Wynberg pupils take part: Mathematics, Accounting, History, English and Afrikaans Olympiads; Inter-School Classical Quiz; Argus/Rotary Inter-Schools' Quiz where we went to the finals; Arts Week incorporating a Societies Evening a One-Act Play Festival and a Staff Production; tbe Junior and Senior Inter-House One-Act Play Competition, the combined major Dramatic Competition with our sister school; tbe Choir Festival; Music Concert; Music Eisteddfods, and so on.

On the sports field we continue to dominate locally, provincially and in many sports, nationally.

In sport we offer Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, CrossCountry, Golf, Hockey, Rugby, Swimming, Squash, Water-Polo and Volleyball and we are arguably one of the best schools in the country.

I must single out Athletics, Badminton, Cross-Country, Hockey, Squash and Volleyball as the sport where we totally dominated the local competitions, as did our Cadet Band who once again walked off with the WP Competition and came sixth in tbe National Competition held in Pretoria during the holidays.

I am particular thrilled that the boys could make the tran ition from a B- to an A-class

Mr Bruce Probyn The 1992 Matrics did not quite live up to our expectations - of the 131 who wrote, 96 % pas ed and 79 gained Matric exemption, which by any standards was good.

There was, however, disappointment tbat there were only 5 A aggregates - many of the 22 B aggregates must have been very close to A's.

As many of you know, tbe spotlight bas been focussed even more tightly on the academic side of the school. A number of innovations bave been introduced to enhance the attitude of the pupils towards studies.

Methods of rewarding boys on a short term basis in class tests have been introduced, and our hope is that tbe publication of class test results will encourage every boy, irrespective of his academic ability, to improve from one test to tbe next.

We hope to stimulate competition between boys in class tests and we want to emphasise the need for continual short-term goal setting.

Homework has really come under the - 10-

band while at the top. Wynberg has had such a long history of successful Cadet Bands, that the move to an A-class band may seem strange, but there has, for a number of years, been a growing feeling that we should extend our band to include the full Brass range and put more emphasis on the musical skills, as opposed to the military skills demanded by the B-class grouping. I have no doubt that it will not be long before we hear the full school band performing and with success.

To say that this year has been busy is an understatement and from my point of view ] just would not have survived if I did not have support and co-operation from the boys and the parents.

Ian Mills and his prefect body bave done a fine job in leading the boys this year. It is not easy to weld together 750 achieving, individual young men.

We encourage pride in oneself and one's school. We encourage belief that the pupils are the best, but we never encourage arrogance.

We know we are good but are humble in victory and this in itself is pride.

My heartfelt thanks to Mr Dick Friedlander and the Governing Body for their total support, as goes my thanks to the PTA for their efforts in raising funds to provide us with those extras which make us special, and to the Ladies Association who do so much in catering and keeping the school so fresh and friendly. Mr Cooper and his team of cleaners and groundsmen have an enormous task in keeping the school building and grounds in a good state, a job he does with pride. My special thanks go to aH the teaching staff who are prepared to and do go that extra mile for the pupils. They are always prepared to put the school's interests above their own and their families. If I compare the input from our staff with those in other schools, not only in Cape Town, but also across the country, we are indeed fortunate to have educationalists of their quality.

Three men who have assisted me enormously through the year are Messrs Connellan, Blom and Richardson: they have been encouraging, tolerant, understanding, guiding, but most of all, supportive. Thank you.

There are three special ladies who have had their hands full looking after me and the school this year: Mrs Joubert, Mrs McCurdie and Mrs Williams.

I know everyone at Wynberg appreciates their thoroughness, professional manner, assistance, tolerance and understanding, patience, but most of all their caring nature.

Apart from the tremendous support I get from my wife who, as you may know, is herself a school teacher and, as well as running a home, holds a number of positions on committees in her teaching department which make incredible demands on her time, but is always at my side when I need her, there is one person who gave me a· start at Wynberg that no olher incoming head could ever have had.

He involved me right from the time of my appointment in all long-term decision making; he shared fully and openly his feelings about the school; he totally unselfishly gave me every bit of information he had about Wynberg; he gave me confidence knowing that I had his support; he shared fully his dreams and aspirations, his successes and failures; his own dreams as to where the school was going; he relaxed me completely as I knew I could easily turn, as 1 did, to him for advice. I am, of course, talking about RowaD Algie. No other head I know of has had the start, support and encouragement from hjs predecessor as I have, and] do thank him most sincerely.

I have so many impressions of Wynberg from my first year and ] would like to share one of them. Whatever we do we achieve.

Nothing is ever attempted just for the sake of involvement. Whatever we·do we want to be the best: nothing is approached with mediocrity in mind, whether it is an inter-school quiz, a squash match, a debate, a class test - excellence is the key word. I subscribe to and encourage this attitude as our school and our country cannot afford indifference and mediocrity. The implication of this is that the level of achievement is raised and to get to the top at Wynberg requires so much more.

But] want to say to those who do not get to the top. It is your presence and competitive nature which provides the climate and - 11 -

foundation excellence.

BIRTHS The following are congratulated on the birth of their sons this year: Herman and Sonya Ten Velthuis, Mark and Theresa Rushby, Dave and Belinda Russel!.

TRAVELS Wynberg teachers have been on the move this year: Mr and Mrs Connellan visited their grandson in England, the Brombergers jetted off to the USA and Europe, the Greenwood family holidayed in Egypt and Turkey, Mrs Louis travelled around Canada, and Mr Stanford is presently enjoying hjs leave in Europe.

ON LEAVE Mr Mark Rushby took a year's leave to compete his BEd. Mr James Buchanan is on leave for three terms, travelling in the UK. Mr Herman Ten Velthuis enjoyed a break from teaching during the third term. In the fourth term Mr Meyer Scheepers took a month's leave, whjle Messrs Deon Nienaber and Wayne Stanford went on leave for the entire term.

STAFF ASSOCIATION This year's Committee consisted of Mesdames Bemadette Fassler and Nicola Jordan, and Messrs Leon Kruger, Larry Moser and Wayne Stanford. In January the staff enjoyed a braai at Silvermine to welcome the new Headmaster.

Refreshments were provided in the staffroom to celebrate the end of the second term. The endof-third-term function was a pub lunch enjoyed in the gardens of the Wynberg Club.

The staffroom experienced major facility changes this year: new chairs; a beautiful new shelf-unit (thanks to the Woodwork Department); extensions of the kitchenette (thanks to Mr Adams); notice-board rearrangement to accommodate more artwork; a telephone cubicle and additional jacket books.

RELIEF STAFF The following teachers joined our staff for short periods during the year, and we thank them most sincerely for their valued contribution to our school: Mesdames V Groves (1st term Music), P Hawker (2nd term Biology), L Brown (3rd term History), M Lloyd (one month Mathematics), S Dowdall (one month Guidance); and Messrs D de Kock (two terms Biology), R Jones (3 weeks Science), A Footman (4th term Science, Geography, Phys Ed), S Eddy (3 months Admin), E Norton (3 weeks), and old friend A Morris (1 week).

DEPARTURES

We thank these colleagues for their wonderful dedication to our school as they leave with our very best wishes.

During the year we bade farewell to cricket coach Mike Bailey and exchange-student Nic Passenger.

After four years at Wynberg, Mrs Margaret Louis will be leaving us to develop her skills in entrepreneurship.

Her contribution t~ the Mathematics and Accounts Departments, the Chess and Interact Clubs, plus her friendly chatter, will be sorely missed.

Mrs Kerryn Hummel leaves us after two years. She has a post at Parktown Girls' High in Johannesburg.

Mrs Hummel's talents in the Mathematics Department and on the sports field are much appreciated, and I am sure that her 7A class in particular will be sad to see her leave.

Mrs Val Cleveland leaves us at tbe end of the year to pursue her studies. After two years as Librarian Assistant, she occupied the position of School Librarian this year.

THANK YOU - To our kitchen staff, Cynthia and Gina, for keeping the staffroom spotless and for providing endless cups of tea.

- To Sue Crone and the Tuckshop Mothers for seeing to our daily nourishment.

To our super secretaries, Mesdames Joubert, McCurdie and Williams, for their constant efficiency and friendliness and patience.

To Grant Faiers who is an absolute pleasure to have around, taking over those mundane and time-consuming jobs from tired teachers.

To Mr Probyn for his remarkable leadership and enthusiasm in this his first year as Wynberg's Headmaster.

TIIE HEAD REPORT

PREFECT'S

Our year as Prefects started off with a camp held at Littlewood during the last weekend of the December holidays.

Here we were equipped with all the necessary kills and al 0 set our goals for the year ahead.

Our main goal was to promote spirit in the chool.

We went about achieving this goal by introducing a "Wynbergian of the Week", and a certificate was awarded every Monday. We al 0 introduced a number of other activities.

The school spirit was particularly evident by the number of boys who came to support the school at a number of events throughout the year.

The introduction of a new prefect half-way through our term of office came as a surprise to many of us. Although he did not have a long term of office, Steven Wood quickly

the selling of refreshments on Open Night and the One-Act Play night to raise funds for our own World Vision orphan.

On the 11th September many of our boys and their friends participated in the "Blister for Bread" walle.

The proceeds of this venture go to the Peninsula School Feeding Association.

The last project for 1993 will be the usual Christmas hampers for our ground staff at the end of the year.

Although the ground staff know that they dare not expect a Christmas hamper it is nevertheless a very special event in their calendar, as it is at this time that they realise how much the pupils of Wynberg appreciate all the work they· do at the school.

The Club has enjoyed a very successful year and the 1993 committee comprising seniors and juniors know that the successes of the year can be largely ascribed to the enthusiastic support received from the school. Chairman hip of the club was handed over, during the third tenn, to a committed and eager Craig Coltham.

The first project for 1993 was the collection of Easter Eggs for underprivileged children.

This project was a huge success as the pupils joined in to find the class with the biggest heart.

Easter egg surprise packets were donated to each of the members of the ground staff and the remainder of almost 3000 eggs were donated to the Bruce Duncan home.

During the first term we joined with other Interact Clubs in spending an afternoon trying to clean up the banks of the Liesbeeck River.

The afternoon proved to be a worthwhile experience and contributed to an awareness of the need to preserve the environment. Many of our club members worked at the Maynardville Carnival - an annual involvement.

Two representatives, T Witten and R Stofberg, were members of a committee involved i.n the planning of the 1993 Interact Conference held in Paarion 8 May. The arrangements for the conference involved organising transport for almost 400 delegate from Cape Town, and meals and activities for the day for about 500 people in Paarl. The conference tbeme was "We serve - Ons dien" and the guest speakers were M r Andries Hough (Springbok paraplegic athlete) and Bruce Hancock (paraplegic athlete and Paarl Boys High Old Boy). Interactors were given insight into problems experienced by handicapped people but at the same time were shown how the power of a po itive attjtude in the face of adversity can overcome many difficulties.

The second term brought an appeal to donate warm clothing for those less fortunate than themselves.

A considerable pile of jerseys, tracksuits, spencers, socks, shirts and jackets arrived and, as charity should begin at home, the members of the club decided to see to it that our own ground staff could enjoy a wanner winter thjs year.

Other minor, though not less imporlallt, projects during 1993 were the One-to-one day, the SPCA fete, the collection on behalf of the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association and

Under the supervision of Mr Lamoral, the 1993 CU Committee began their reign in the third term of 1992.

They organised exciting t:vents, catering for all tastes, which included:• A day of "fellowsrupping" with other CU's, culminating in a rock concert with the group "Free"; • A breakfast in the Bill Bowden Pavilion for Christian and Bible Ed teachers - this was also a farewell to Mr Algie; • The annual Std 6 welcome with the Girls' School; • YFC and YW AM mu ic group and outreach teams; • A camp combined with WGHS and Bishops;

Weekly meetings with relevant topics to benefit Christians at WBHS; and • Weekly meetings with the Girls' School were also held.

Other activities involved the taking of devotions in Prefect Assemblies, and a collection was also organised for the victims of the St James massacre.

We were proud to hand over a cheque of R 1 500 on behalf of the School and Staff to St James Church.

Our thanks must also go to the Old Boys and members of the Jubilee Community Cburcb, wbo bave started outreacbes in tbe Hostel and Scbool which have been received with a remarkable response.

The new Committee for 1994, consisting of Mark Russell (Cbainnan), Brent Mills, Ulrik Strandvic and Sean Albrougb, wish to tbank Allan Lipp and Gunther Hoppe for their hard work and contribution to the CU in 1993.

Thanks must also go to Mr Lamoral for coordinating tbe Society.

Each Editor builds on the experience of tbe previous one, and tben adds his own mark of originality.

Stephan Aaron bas been no exception, as he has, in many peoples' opmlOns, brought about the best four Wyllbergialls yet.

With his very devoted Committee (Domjnic Bright, Michael Arbutbnot, Donovan Kenpedy and Dylan Lewis) be has entertained, informed and even "ripped off" to everyone's delight.

This year has even seen the birth of our School's own "Find It Keep )t" Competition, devised by Stephan (assisted by Mother). Our version is based on the Sunday Times' Finders Keepers Competition, tbough with only a R 50 prize. The third term sees the prize increase to R 100; so much entertainment (and thinking) in doing this WBHS Competition will keep the pupils engrossed for some time.

Special mention must be made of, and thanks given to, Donovan for all his time spent on his father's hjghly sophisticated computers; Dylan for beautiful covers and cartoons; Michael for

To all the other journalists, reporters, cartoonists, writers, cutters-and-pasters, the parents who assisted and, of course, our printers (who prefer to remain nameless): thank you very much - it has been a joy and privilege working with you!

First aiders are regularly on duty during breaks in the first aid room, and this bas facilitated treatment of several serious injuries this year.

With funds generously donated by Mrs Helga Hill, the group bas purchased distinctive waterproof anoraks, a gazebo, and attachments for an oxygen-generating apparatus.

We are proud of the tireless work done by our well-qualified first aiders, and make every effort to ensure that new boys obtain tbeir St John's Ambulance First Aid Certificate, and that current holders of the certificates remain up-to-date and infonned.

The following awards were presented this year:Colours: Warren Bath, Robert Williams Blues: Ralf Muller, Stuart Kaptein

THE LADIES' ASSOCIA TION The Ladies' Association once again had a full and active year. It tarted with the AGM, which was followed by a "Pudding and Port" evening which has now become a popular tradition.

Some of the highlights of the year were tbe New Parents Social Evening - a new event which was very well received by botb parents and staff; the opening of the Eric Tasker Museum; Arts' Week - always a hectic week; and Founders' Day. The Clothing Exchange, efficiently run by Elsabie Britton and Wendy Boer, continues to provide a very valuable service to parents.

The beautiful flowers which grace our foyer are always admired and appreciated by everyone. Thank you to Elia Jefferson and ber "flower ladies".

Our thanks and appreciation go to Sue Crone for the incredibly hard work that goes into making the Tuckshop the great success tbat it is. Our teachers and boys would certainly not survive a school day without this service.

I think I speak for every parent when I thank all the ladies of the school wbo bave given their time this year to help in various Sports Tuckshops and functions. Without their help

The main PT A fund-raiser this year was "The Bulbman".

A profit of approximately R 22 ()()() was realised.

This money is to be spent on a project which benefits all pupils of the school.

A special word of thanks to Mr Stan Eddy and Mr Gordon Taylor for administrating thjs project, and to Mrs Des Hes, Mrs Sue Crone and the Ladies' Association for arranging the packaging of the bulbs.

The recycling programme continues to improve, and during the year improvements to the enclosure were completed, thanks to Glynn ManJey and Tom Garven. After paying for all the improvements, a nett profit of .± R 5 ()()() was made; my thanks to Mrs Beautement (Parent Organiser) and Mr Bill Creed (Staff Liaison) for their enthusiasm, dedication and hard work, and also to the parents for their continued support.

By October this year tbe project had raised about R 6 500 - the potential is more tban twice that figure. The PTA Committee decided at the beginning of the year that tbe depot sbould be enclosed and tbat tbe project should receive high priority as a fund-raiser.

Mr Norman Veenendal, our gardener, has been given the task of chief sorter.

He has done a magnificent job at great speed. Teams of pupils who do not take sport also helped to crush cans and break bottles, etc.

An inter-class paper collection competition gave a boost to the amount of paper received.

In tbe future more parent involvement and initiative would be appreciated: parents are requested to be diligent in bringing all paper, cardboard, glass and tins to school.

Parents are also required to help find sources of recyclable material at businesses, shops and restaurants in tbe area.

The households in the vicinity of the school will be encouraged to drop tbeir useful waste at the school.

The aim of this project is not only an environmental one, but also an effort to reduce the need for higher school fees.

WBHS MAINTENANCE STAFF

MY CHELTENHAM EXPERIENCE (Paul Revington: Head Prefect 1991) How would I describe it? Let me think.

Yes, very simply in fact.

My Cheltenham experience can be described as very different, extremely impressive and absolutely worthwhile and enjoyable.

Not very often are boys aged 18 given the opportunity, once finished school, to visit a foreign country for a year, where they are guaranteed everything for which lhey could possibly wish: a great school at which to coach; a wonderful family with which to stay; to be called "Sir"; to enjoy the freedom of the big wide world; and, most importantly, to meet people from all different walks of life, to experience their lifestyle and la make fnendships which you will remember forever.

AH of the above I have been offered, accepted and after nine months have fortunately experienced.

Well, no sooner had I accepted the offer than I was sitting on the plane wondering what was in store for me in the land of the "rooi-nekke" (better known as Pommi Land!) Luckily for me, I had previously been in contact with the

family with which I was to be staying, Mr and Mrs Martin and Di Stovold, as Martin had been the cricket professional at Wynberg when I was in Standard Six. Di is from Cape Town, and therefore shares a lot in conunon with me.

This connection helped immensely.

On my arrival at Heathrow airport, I not onJy had the pleasure of being met by Martin, but also by my Deputy Headmaster at Wynberg, Mr Ray Connellan. I was off to a flying start.

Cheltenham College were still on holiday, giving me two weeks to adjust to the weather, view the sights of Cheltenham Town, have a look around the college itself, and of course settle in with the Stovolds (something that was not difficult).

On Monday Il January, the day before school returned, I was to experience my first staff meeting, something every schoolboy dreams of while at school. Let me tell you it's nothing spectacular at all, BUT if you're a bad boy, be quite sure your name is mentioned frequently!

Sport wise, hockey was the major game for the college during the first term, making it easy for me to become heavily involved.

I was given the U14B team to coach, who together with the A team were two formidable sides.

The standard of hockey produced by these - Jl -

young lads was at times unbelievable, making it a pleasure for me to coacb them.

It was during this time tbat I made a number of friendsbjps witb fellow staff members as well as a number of the senior boys. These will probably last a lifetime.

Besides coaching bockey at tbe college [ was also involved with the College Junior scbool, assisting with tbe Pbys Ed lessons in the morning and coacbing bockey to the Under 8 and Under JO age groups in tbe afternoon.

A busy term this was, as I still had to get to know all 66 boys in Newick House, as well as getting to grips witb tbe distinct difference in the school discipline to that of Wynberg.

Botb "tasks" were relatively easy; however, without corporal punisbment in scbools it was very noticeable that tbe life of the Englisb scboolmaster was far more demanding and exhausting tban tbose in South Africa.

Nevertheless, this proved to be an extremely active and rewarding first term at Cbeltenham College, setting a good tone for tbe terms to follow.

During the Easter holidays I spent four days witb the College 1st Hockey team at the Oxford Hockey Festival.

Not only was I fortunate to experience the quality of bockey on show, but also tbe wonderful atmospbere of Oxford University itself. The team stayed in Trinity College, one of the main university colleges.

I also visited the beautiful Lake Districts with the Passenger family, a definite higbligbt of my year in England.

Summer was now apparently upon us in England, yielding tbe start of the 'glorious' cricket term.

I was in cbarge of the U l4A team for the term, again being involved witb this talented age group. The team had a slow start, but recovered quickly to play some superb cricket - unlike their National side who battled to win even a toss against tbe Australians!

With superb sunshine for ju t over a montb, I was fortunate enougb to play some entertaining 'village' cricket witb tbe staff side, visit Wimbledon to watch Pete Sampras play on centre court, go to Stratford-UponAvon to watcb a Shakespearean play (The Merchant of Venice), as well as going to a London tbeatre to watcb "Miss Sajgon".

All

this and a lot more were crammed into a very busy yet very enjoyable summer term.

For me, thougb, being outside on a glorious summer's day in Cbeltenham bas to be regarded as an experience of a lifetime! The end of the summer term, yielding the end of the academic year, finished off with the Leavers' BaU (Matric Dance), before boys and staff members were treated to a two month holiday.

The bolidays, as usual, went by very quickly. Playing cricket during my first two weeks was fun; however, my two weeks in the Greek Isles was simply unbelievable ... and very warm!

On returning I spent time in London and tben had the pleasure of my Dad's company for the last two weeks of what was a great holiday.

I am presently in my second week of my final term at tbe college.

Winter is slowly creeping in, while my coaching of the girls' bockey team is in full flow. Time has passed by very quickly, with only three months of my stay remaining. Unfortunately, in this report [ have only mentioned balf the events and higblights I have experienced during my time in Cheltenham, simply because it would take too long to mention everything!

What an experience tbis has been for me.

The friend bips made, the school coaching sessions, the great social scene and the kindness and generosity of all the people and families towards me have all contributed to my thoroughly enjoyable stay in Cheltenham.

To any Wynberg boy who bas ever considered doing a 'gap year' as a student master at Cheltenham College, my advice is simple ... do it - it's an opportunity not worth missing!

In closing, I would like to thank a number of people who have contributed towards my year at Cbeltenham: Mr Algie and Mr Ricbardson of Wynberg Boys' High and Mr Wilkes and Mr Stovold of Cheltenham College for organising the exchange; Martin and Dianne Stovold for providing me with a home and superb family environment. one which I will truly miss; Mr and Mrs Passenger and all other families - 32·

in Cheltenham who went out of their way to make my stay a pleasant one; All Masters at the College and Junior School whose friendships I will cherish forever; And frnally my parents for their love and support.

Thank you Wynberg Boys' High for a truly memorable experience.

Looking back now [ can say that there was not too mucb to worry about, and tbat I would say it was the best choice I could have possibly made for my gap year before I return to England for University.

I have learnt many things over here: the different styles of living, the different cultures and, most notably, us 'poms' need definitely to have a sense of humour in order to survive!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the school life, especially coaching sport both at the High School as well as at the Junior School.

Wynberg potentially has a lot of good sportsmen, be it on the rugby, cricket or hockey field, as well as on the badminton and squash courts. It is good to see such a variety in the scbool.

I have also enjoyed being a hostel master.

It has been a great experience, and I would like lo thank everybody for making my stay so pleasant. J would especially like to thank Mr Richardson and Mr Slovold (Cheltenham) for organising the exchange.

I look forward to seeing everybody soon, and Iwish you all well in the remainder of your school careers.

Thanks once again.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS senjor standards, in particular the Standard Nine and Ten classes, need to realise the importance of not only knowing and understanding the work well, but also the need to work consistently throughout the year. The junior standards have once again been exposed to the Stock Exchange, although on a very simple level. There is a very defirute need for enrichment in the subject, and I would very much like to see a programme running in the Standard Seven class in 1994.

Congratulations to David Shelly who reached the second round in the Accounting Olympiad.

Thls is a first in the school in thjs subject as 1993 was the first time that we took part in the event. Next year, we hope to be part of the inter-schools Stock Exchange Game yet again.

This year's Matric class has made fair progress with painting and the Department as a whole is thriving creatively, as was evident at the Art's Week exhibition.

Die klem in Tweede Taalonderrig val hoofsaaklik op kommunikasie, skriftelik sowel as mondelinge, maar terselfder tyd word die formele grammatika geensins afgeskeep nie.

Die grootste probleem wat deur die Departement geidentifiseer is, is die onvermoë van leerlinge om ten alle tye te verstaan wat hulle lees met die gevolg dat ander aspekte oos begrip toetse, voorgeskrewe werke, baie swak deur die leerlinge beantwoord word. Dit kan wees omdat al hoe minder leerlinge positief lees. Hulle word wel "gedwing" om Afrikaans gedurende die kwartaal te lees, maar 'n mens wil sien dat leerlinge dit uit hul eie sal doen.

Die geskrewe woord hang ook baie nou hiermee saam en gewone basiese taalfoute tree na vore.

Ons het ook 'n poging aangewend om ons matriekpunte te probeer verbeter eD die noodsaaklikheid van goeie prestasie by hulle in te skerp.

Die tyd sal leer of ons uksesvol was.

Mnr Nienaber is gedurende die 4de kwartaal weg met verlof en sy plek word deur Mev A Kotze ingeneem.

Daar heers 'n baie goeie gees in ons departement en ek wil graag langs hierdie weg elke lid van my Departement bedank vir die tyd en harde werk wat hulle die afgelope jaar gelewer het.

The Department received several visitations this year:The Superintendent of Education for the subject was very favourably ïmpres ed with the way the subject was being treated by the teachers.

A team of young people from The New Frontiers Group of Churches in England came to the school for a series of outreach meetings.

About fifty pupils indicated their desire to either follow Jesus or find out more about Him at these meetings.

These pupils were not abandoned after the team had left, but were followed up by representatives from the Jubilee

In an effort to direct the expertise of the staff members more effectively and to improve the quality of the instruction given to our pupils, we have utilised subject pecialist in each of the two disciplines - Physical Science and Biology.

This means that· all pupils in both Standards Six and Seven are being taught Phy ical Science by teachers who are also members of the Senior Science Department, and Biology by taff member who are, or have been, members of the Senior Biology Department.

Two new components have been added to the Standard Six syllabu - the formalised teaching of the cientific method in science and horticulture.

The aims and objectives of our department are regularly evaluated at ubject meetings and there is an on-going effort to improve the quality of in truction.

This was very succes ful as it gave them an opportunity to see how theory relates to the geomorphologi..:al tructure on which Cape Town i built. The Standard Nines went to Cape Point where oceanography and geomorphology theory were tudied in the field.

Standard Six and Seven classes went to the planetarium to see a very interesting light how about the earth's place in the universe.

All pupils have handed in projects this year, ranging from interesting practical model by the Standard Sixe and Sevens to geomorphological research projects by the Standard Eight and Nine cia ses.

no Matric pupils chose to follow the Latin discipline. The Standard Nine class consists of five pupils. Steven Aaron has maintained an A-symbol throughout the year. He is followed

by Dominic Bright and David Thomas. When the latter do not follow Ovid's maxim - parva leves animo capiunt - they too are very capable of reaching the heights.

Mr K Richard on teaches the Sevens and Eights this year, and has some avid students in these groups. His sterling work is appreciated.

At tbe beginning of the year S Aaron, D Lewis and R Jones sat for the Latin Olympiad.

Although they did not succeed in coming first, they did enjoy the experience this form of exercise provided.

The matric class of 1992 surprised us with three A's, which was unexpected after answering a fairly stiff paper. Congratulations to Lloyd Purdy, Darren Milne and Royden Volans, who were the A candidates.

The Std 6's attempted a new syllabus by doing the History of USA through all its phases from colonisation to Civil War to the influx of immigrants in tbe late 19th century. They had a look at people like Paul Revere, Davy Crockett and John Brown.

The Std 1's once again researched their family history, and tbe projects were very interesting.

In clo ing, we would like to congratulate Mr Jannie de Waal on organising a very good Young Historians Conference at WBHS during September.

The very positive aspect of Latin this year was the number of Standard Six pupils who tudied the subject.

Altogether 74 boys followed the course - 39 until June and then a new group of 36. By the end of the year some of them will be bard-pressed as regards their cboice of subjects in Standard Seven.

In spite of being such a boys-only school girls are the traditional "bookworms" - our boys are the above-average readers for a Model C school. The bulk of our readers come from the Standard 6's and 7's, but this is because they are exposed to the Library through book education lessons.

We attempt in book education not only to introduce the boys to a variety of audio and visual media, but to give them the tools for doing their own research.

Not only do they learn the simple skills of listening, communicl£ting and note-taking, but they also learn the simple skills of synthesising, evaluating and appreciating.

This year we have added nearly 400 books to our book tock as well as several new videos, maps, pamphlets. posters and newspaper cuttings.

We have also started exam paper files for all our subjects.

These may be borrowed overnight by tbe boys.

We were thrilled to receive Readers' Digest products to the value of R i 000. These were won by our quiz team in the Argus School Quiz Competition.

Metalwork has this year been the Cinderella subject. Threatened at first with extinction, it now survives as a senior phase subject with a Manual Training module, covering both Wood and Metalwork, which will be offered from 1994 in Standards Six and Seven.

This uncertainty surrounding our future has touched the work ethic of some of our pupils and a mall number of them have disappointed us by not fini hing off their projects.

However, some very good models were produced: a well-designed. attractive and functional four-seat patio table set by Dean Butler (Std 10), a well-built and finished braai and brass-work by Gary Brown (Std 9), and an attractive sign-board hanger by Denver Pereira.

It is hoped, with Metalwork now back in its rightful place, that pupils will respond to this challenge.

their vocation options.

Assistance from the Mentor, our career computer programme, enabled many Std 9's and 10's to make informed career decisions, and it was established that many Matries knew what they would be doing next year. It also became evident that most Std 7's were comfortable with their subject choices for Std 8.

TIlls year, individual counselling has taken up much more of my time than in '92, and hopefully Isucceeded in contributing something constructive to those pupils who came to see me.

TIlls year was a stimulating and thoughprovoking time that was hopefully as productive for tbe boys as it was for me.

The '93 programme consisted of visits to, and speakers from, different tertiary institutions. Career evenings and exhibitions at different venues were successful.

ANTHOLOGY The white-erested waves crashed against her bows, every timber of our vessel, the Bloduwedd, absorbing the massive force. The Eusemythian Strait between the Dark Continent had claimed many an unwary ship and dragged it into the depths. However, fear was farthest from my mind as I stood with the wind in my face and slate-grey skies overhead.

Spray lifted from the mighty waves and stung my body, while behind me the crew set about their work. I relished this moment with the sea but decided against staying any longer as I had duties to perform.

We were six weeks into our voyage to the Emial Isle, burial site of Sláine Skyclad and his treasures.

I.vas a cabin boy aboard the Bloduwedd and I fulfilled my tasks with hearty enthusiasm.

On the lower deck I strained at the ropes amongst the delightful clamour of seamen at work and, rather less enthusiastically on my part, under the watchful eye of Arundel EI6rin, a Palmadithian who brandished a menacing whip ready to catch a dozing sailor unawa.res.

Passing out of the straits, we faced the full wrath of the sea. The whistling of the wind in the sails rose to a soul-penetrating crescendo and all shouts were drowned in the din. Many sailors fell to their knees chanting and

muttering ancient prayers to the gods of the sea.

As foreigners to these religions, I, together with a number of other seamen, stood back to watch the proceedings.

Their prayers were, however, in vain, for that night the god sent forth frothing, foaming waves that thundered over the deck. While the most stout-hearted among us battled in the blackness of the night to rectify the damage, 1 clung to my hammock and prayed for morning to come.

The sun shone with brilliance the following morning. This was, according to the captain's calculations, to be the final day of our voyage.

Our ultimate goal, the famed and priceless treasures of Sláine Skyclad, lay a few tantalising miles from us. Trailing under the sweltering heat of the afternoon, the words "Land ahoy!" were music to my ears. The crew rushed to the bows while I fought for a glimpse of the isle.

Suddenly a hush fell over the unruly mob.

A huge man, at least six foot seven inches tall, ambled into our midst.

His uncombed hair hung in greasy masses from numerous leather bands and ornaments that adorned his head.

His beard was thick and matted. His enormous bulk was clothed in a scuffed, liquor-stained, leather tunic and once-velvet pants covered his trunk-like legs. Captain Avageddu glanced out to sea and then focused his deep-set eyes on us.

"Get back to work, you lackers!" he bellowed suddenly.

The crowd dispersed and within moments all were at thei r work.

After toiling for what seemed an eternity, we manoeuvred the ship into a mall cove to the north of the island.

Impenetrable jungle covered the land as far as the eye could see, except for a mountain peak whose jagged rock faces clawed the azure sky. Up in the nether reaches of that peak lay Sláine's treasure.

We eagerly manned the landing boats and made for shore. The narrow, sandy beach was just large enough to accommodate the boats.

Every sailor drew his weapon and, following Avageddu's lead (the captain also held lhe treasure map securely), began lo slash through the undergrowth.

The smell of decaying foliage hung like a curtain in the air as we

liced through various varieties of creepers and bushes. After an hour of hacking we reached a stream. I was filthy, covered with plant and soil matter as well as numerous species of insect. I had just stooped to wash the grime from my face when a rustling on the opposite bank caugbt my attention. Avageddu noticed it too and whispered harshly.

"Get back!" he ordered.

The crew cautiously retreated, weapons at the ready. From bebind tbe foliage emerged fifteen foul-looking creatures wearing tattered rags and various leather bands.

They resembled humans but their faces were alarmingly grotesque with earrings protruding from noses, ears and even lips. They carried clubs and axes.

One of them suddenly screamed and charged, followed by the remainder of the group. I drew my sabre and began to swing wildly. My party replied in a similar fashion but with a notable degree of skill.

Within minutes the battle ended, leaving the carcasses of fifteen creatures strewn over the banks of and in the tream. We suffered no ca ualties, but many were wounded, including myself.

"Are you alright?" I was asked by my rescuer.

"My leg ... it' paining."

He proceeded to bandage my wound.

"You saved my life," I said, "I am eternally grateful. " "It was called for in the ituation," he replied modestly.

"What do they call you?" I asked.

"Aluin lrmin, seaman of .Bathesia. " "I have visited tho e parts," rsaid.

We continued conversing as we slashed through the jungle.

We halted at the foot of Skye mountain ju t as night covered Earth in a shroud of blackness. I was coaxed to sleep that night by the sight of our hip in the bay and the moonlight reflecting off the water.

The bot, humid weather was not mucb kinder to us as we set off the following morning.

My leg bad swollen to gargantuan proportions and I began to fear infection.

Forced to use ropes, as we began the ascent of the mountain, I progressed lowly and with much effort. Aluin proved to be an invaluable - 47-

companIon. For such a large man, Captain Avageddu displayed remarkable agility.

Map clasped firmly in one hand and rope in the other, he scaled rock face without the slightest difficulty.

Arundel El6rin followed together with the first mate, Gundan Wyill, and the rest of the crew. Ajuin and J brought up the rear.

Avageddu had just reached a cave in the mountainside when a strong north-easterly wind arose. Avageddu tottered on the lip of the cave for a few fleeting seconds before plummeting like a rock.

We hung on the ropes dumbstruck as the map which he had held so fIrmly floated gently down.

1 reached out and grabbed the parchment. I passed the parchment up the line of men until it reached Wyill, who was to take over command.

We gathered in the cave to pay our respects before moving on to tackle the fmal leg of our climb. After proceeding a few feet, I decided that I would be putting myself and Alliin in danger by climbing any further.

I retreated to the cave while the party continued.

That night I fell into a troubled sleep.

The mornmg sun shone brightly as I was aroused by a rough hand on my shoulder. Isat bolt upright and turned to fmd myself face to face with Avageddu. His face was bloody and his left leg appeared to be broken. His clothes were in ribbons.

"It is my treasure ... mine! Where are those vermin?"

"Up ... further up," I said, trembling with fear.

He produced a golden dagger. "Take me to them," he rasped.

"B-but my leg hu ... • I began. ·Take me now!· he said harshly.

I had little choic:e. We climbed, hurt and broken, hanging precariously from tbe ropes.

Avageddu appeared to know where to go and I followed helplessly rather than lead.

After many hours of hard climbing we moved into Ihe entrance of a second cave. He placed his dagger at my throat and ordered me to walk.

Around a slight bend we found them, next lo masses of gold, green jade emeralds and diamonds.

"Drop the loot!" he screamed.

The sailors spun around and stared in shock at us.

"One move and young Elthazar is dead," he said. ·Sir, we can talk this over ... " Wyill began.

"No!· Avageddu yelled.

"Get this lot packed lU)d carry it to the ship. Do as I say or Elthazar dies .• I noticed a sharp rock a few feet away. If I could just reach out witb a sudden movement that would take Avageddu by surprise I should be able to slrike him before he had time to react. But I did not have to. Wyill, knowing tbat negotiation was not the answer in this situation, drew his dagger and threw it WIth deadly speed and fateful accuracy.

The remainder of the story is selfexplanatory. I sit now, my farmland before me and remember the grand and joyous celebrations.

I know deep within that that was the adventure of all adventures, the voyage of all voyages. The memories are still strong.

TlDNGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ... (!his piece ofwriting was adjudged the winning elltry ill the Se"ior Sectioll of the School's Writers' Competition) Wham! The heavy doors of the church burst open and the startled congregation was ruthlessl y sprayed with the bullets of an AK47.

A tall man, wearing a balaclava, held the murder weapon and, for what seemed an eternity, let off sporadic fire into the defenceless crowd of worshippers.

Two other men, both wearing khaki-green uniforms, indiscriminately threw hand-grenades into the audience. They exploded on impact, sending shockwaves throughout the church.

A resounding boom accompanied the explosions and smoke filled the sanctuary. The men fled as quickly as they could; taking gleeful pleasure in the cries of dismay, pain and anger that had erupted from the terrified people within.

alive today and He will return at the end of time.

Nothing can be done to change that.

The victory is His!

As the panic subsided, feelings of fear, disbelief and shock suddenly registered. Many were too stunned to move, others were bleeding profusely and unable to move, some were lost to this dark world. Tt had seemed to continue forever, but in reality it had all taken place in less than a minute and in that time the lives of a thousand people were changed forever. The smoke slowly cleared. Wailing continued and already dark images of the events just past began repeating themselves in the minds of everyone there.

The police arrived promptly - about two mmutes after the incident - and emergency procedures were immediately carried out. All doctors in the congregation were called to the front, while those who were uninjured were asked to leave the buiIrIing in order that the injured could be swiftly attended to.

The sights were horrific and many people reacted differently to the deaths of close friends or relatives or the gruesome injuries of those nearby. Some people immediately ran from the building, others, acting mechanically and, in shock, did whatever they could to help. Others just sat and wept and some just stood and stared at the people around them.

But, however they reacted, everyone there was affected by the tragedy and things will simply never be the same for them. rt was as if it were all just an awful dream, but it was real.

It happened.

That is something we can't ignore and something which clearly illustrates the foul depth of . human sinfulness and depravity in mankind.

The secular world reeks of violence, destruction, poverty and dank evil.

"Why did God allow this utter desecration of His church, this massacre of His people?"

That is a question in the hearts and minds of many.

But although we will never fully understand the reasoning of God, we can already begin to see the good that has come from this: the congregation has drawn closer together and to God. Hopefully, as they do so, others will see the uniqueness of being a Christian and seek God more urgently than ever before.

STOP IT! "Stop it!" he yelled.

Richard found himself sitting up, drenched in sweat. His heart was racing. Stay calm. Lie down. Go back to sleep. He closed his eyes and found himself drifting off again.

It was dark, and the wind howled through the trees, carrying the buckets of rain. He was standing alone, soaked, with his fists clenched.

He looked at them in fear. They were covered in blood. He had to get away quickly.

Richard started running, looking nervously over his shoulder. He felt himself wondering why, but he didn't know.

There was just something from which he had to get away.

Overhead the lightning ripped through the sky and the thunderclap echoed. Richard stumbled and fell. A wave of panic crashed inside his head. He cursed himself and picked himself up. "Keep going, just keep running.·

- 49-

He wiped rain from his face and changed direction. "Surely there must be an end to this forest?" His imagination was playing tricks on him. He saw a glimmer of hope in the distance - a light. Suddenly, as soon as it had come, it was gone. Despair engulfed his hope and he ran faster. It was there again. He ran as he had never run before.

Finally he broke through the trees into a small clearing.

He could vaguely see the forest's edge all around.

He ran up to the small wooden cabin and almost collapsed at the door.

"Hello!" he yelled between banging his fists on the door.

There was no answer.

He reached for the handle and yanked the door open. The howling wind instantly found its way inside. Richard stumbled inside and used his full weight to close the door. The wind seemed to give up outside and was content to circle the cabin. After catching his breath, he looked around. Something was very wrong.

The room was exactly like his own room back home - wherever that might be - but looked eerie in the poor light. He squinted his eyes to see hjs bed in the corner.

He froze.

He could see a bloody dagger lying on his pillow. Worse stiIJ, the wind had left the room untouched.

Not a thing had moved. Richard stumbled backwards to the door and fumbled for the handle. He had to get out of this place.

He flung the door open and started running again, he didn't care wbere.

Low branches whipped his face. But he didn't care, he would just keep runrung. He nervously looked back to see where the cabin lay, and never saw the rift that lay just ahead of him.

Rjcbard awoke to see the sun streaming through between the curtains.

He could remember nothing of what had happened.

He drove past tbe forest, as he did every day, and wondered what kind of person would do something like that.

THE RACE Steven cycled slowly down the narrow road which was partially lit by the rising sun. He kept a moderate pace, just fast enough to keep his legs warm, but not too fast to tire them.

On the way to his destination, he met up with others of his kind, all ready for the event that was about to take place. It was the day of the race.

Steven reached the registration desk and collected his identity tags whjch he fitted to his handlebars.

He rode to the starting block and took his place near the front of the field.

At the start line with only a few minutes to go, cyclists scurried around their bikes like hungry anjmals around food, making lastrrunute checks and adjustments.

After the marshals' final briefing covering the route was given, a volley of clicks was heard as cycling shoes were clipped onto pedals.

The countdown was given through one of the nearby loudspeakers: "... five, four, three, two, one ... and you're off!"

Steven sped off with the rest of the group, darting around corners to gain a better position and changing gears to gain speed.

curses were uttered at tbose wbo swerved too close or caused any otber disturbance in the group.

After a few kilometres the mass of cyclists had broken up into smaller groups. Steven bad slotted into a group of approximately ten riders who were moving at a fast pace. The cyclists took turns in front giving others a chance to recuperate and regain their strengtb.

The group which Steven was in increased its speed, catcbing up witb stragglers from preceding group.

Soon tbe group numbered almo t fifty cyclists.

It moved rapidly along the road, increasing the pace until it reached the only major hill of the day.

Suddenly, a group of cyclists sped away from the rest of the bunch.

It was a breakaway. Steven reacted quickly, shifting into a harder gear, even though he was climbing a hill. He stood up using his body weight to aid him. He swiftly closed tbe gap and latcbed onto the break-away group.

and hit a pot hole.

He slammed into the ground bringing most of the group cascading down onto him except for Steven and another cyclist.

The two lone riders were soon approacbing the finishing line wben Steven took a quick glance back to see the buge cbase group coming up behind tbem. He took his initiative, standing up, drawing tbe last drop of energy to propel himself forward across the line. Only metres ahead of the rest of tbe group, he lifted his arms in victory.

I HA VE A DREAM Light, a goal. The small body truggled towards its elusive target, turning, straining, until, witb a ru h of cool, reassuring water, it burst free of its captivity.

The birth of a Blue Whale - to view: unjque; to experience: impossible.

This one, and the rest of his kind, used to rule the seas in their hundres of thousands, now a paltry few are subservient to a species a fraction of their size, yet with a million times more blood on their hands.

He thrashed his tail, thrusting his great body upwards, exalting as tbe water rushed past him and he broke the urface in a spray of foam tbat glistened in the rising sun. He hung there for a moment, silbouetted and motionless, before descending.

Beneath the tonnented surface his downward plunge continued, taking bjm to the cool depths wbere the rest of his herd cruised.

His call of greeting was answered, and be angled his fluke, driving him to tbe head of his herd. They glided along for some distance, through clouds of gaily-coloured fish and forests of gnarled kelp boughs, surfacing now and again in a comforting rhythm to restore their exbausted lungs.

He cocked his bead sligbtly as a vibration ran along his body.

An answering call perhaps? He thrust forward, senses straining, and hjs concentration was sucb tbat he did not notice the figure hurtling out of the depths

Then the leader made a fatal error in judgement - SJ -

towards him until it was too late. The huge squid wrapped itself around him, its razorsharp beak opening and closing in a sort of strange, macabre pantomime, and he was dragged down towards the dark heart of the ocean.

He twisted and turned, the suckers of his enemy tearing at his thick skin, but he only continued to sink deeper and deeper.

The pressure on his lung began to be painful, and they strained for the welcome release of tangy sea air. The bottom rushed up to meet them.

His saviour came in the form of a sharp rib of black rock, sticking out like an accusing finger, in stark contrast to the otherwise barren surface.

With his last remaining strength he twisted his tail, altering their fall and sending the squid to its doom.

With a twist he shook off the now limp tentacles and thrust towards the surface, his mighty tail thrashing from side to side.

explosive charge forever dimmed the light of hope that once burned.

Forever ending his hopes, his dreams.

OLD BOYS SPORT The Summer Sports' Day was well attended this year with cricket and water polo particularly well-presented. It remains a pity that althougb Sportsday is on a Saturday, so few Old Boys turn up to run the Old Boys lOOmand Relay races against the prefects and staff.

Once again there was a large turnout for the Winter Sports' Day. Seven rugby sides, four hockey sides, cross-country, squash and volleyball teams all competed against the school.

The rugby teams were far too good for the school. It was good to see tbe l5-year and 25year reunion hockey teams take on the school.

Our thanks once again to Chris Luman who was the driving force for the well-presented Winter Sports' Day. KP

The Standard Eight section was won by Matthew Dolby of St John's College and Standard Ten by IIse Kirsten of Kloof High School.· Plenty of social activIties were also organised. On the Friday evening a Cape Malay Choir entertained our guests, and on the Saturday afternoon the group were taken on a conducted tour of historical Simonstown.

The conference ended with a formal dinner in the Bill Bowden Pavilion which was followed by a visit to the Waterfront.

On the 152nd Anniversary this year the Clegg Hall was packed to celebrate Founders' Day. Mr Badenhorst was Guest Speaker. His reminiscences concerning the old school proved very entertalOtng. The main point of his address was "Carpe Diem". Mr Badenhorst referred to the many opportunities available at the school, and encouraged tbe pupils to avail themselves whole-heartedly of the facilities.

After the address the cadet parade took place.

Despite the rain which hindered practices for this occasion, the boys marched very well. Mr Badenhorst, accompanied by Mr Probyn, inspected both band and battalion.

After the General Salute the guests enjoyed a scrumptious spread in the quadrangle.

During the September school holidays Wynberg hosted the National Young Historians. This competition is held annually and the best young Historians from the Transvaal, Natal, Eastern Cape, Border and Western Cape are invited to present a paper.

WYNBERG BOYS' IDGH SCHOOL OPENS ITS OWN MUSEUM Wynberg Boys' High School, one of the 'grand-daddies' of South African schools, officially opened its own school museum on Wednesday June 2 and named it in honour of Eric Tasker.

It is understandable that a school boasting as long and proud a history as Wynberg Boys' High should have ample articles in its archives to compile a fascinating museum.

In his opening address, headmaster Bruce Probyn began by surprising everyone present and announcing that he was proud to unveil "the Eric Tasker Musician ... " He said that the museum was the brainchild of former Wynberg headmaster, Rowan Algie, and he thanked Rosemary Algie for all her efforts in helping set up the museum.

He also gave thanks to Ginger "Tiny" JOMson for all his efforts.

Mr Probyn brought to the audience's attention the debate about spending school funds, now under serious constraints under the Model-C system, on something as extravagant as a museum, when otber facilities or amenities might be in greater demand. He argued that "a museum is an important, vital aspect of any organjsation, especially a school.

"This museum shows our school body what has been achieved and what can be achjeved.

It also goes further - recording changing patterns and achievements of the school. " Mr Probyn said that the idea of a museum was conceived with memorabilia being dredged up from the school archjves, cupboards and loaned by the Old Boys for the occasion of the school's 1991 150th anniversary celebrations.

There was a month-long display of school memorabilia which led to the suggestion of a di play.

Mr Probyn concluded his address by thanking Mendal Kaplan (Class of 1953) for his interest and unfaltering support.

Mendal Kaplan then addressed the audience, giving some background on Eric Tasker.

- 58-

He said that Tasker "brought the concept of history alive in the classroom and aroused curiosity in his pupil's minds. "Eric linked us personally witb our past ... and that is why I personally think the museum deserves to be named in honour of him." Adrienne Gregory, Eric's daughter, unveiled a plaque in the museum.

"Things of the past meant a lot to day, not (as he always put it) the 'mumbo-jumbo' of ceremonies, processions or flag-waving ... but the books and artifacts of our past, the tangible items whicb can be passed down over time," she said.

The museum provides fascinating viewing and amongst tbe items on .display is a small library of books penned by Old Boys such as Mendal Kaplan and AC Parker.

At tbe opening, the library grew with the addition of a copy of 'Springboks on Trial' written by former rugby Springbok and Old Boy, Lionel Wilson, wbo presented the book in person.

Of its sporting tradition there is a display of Clark Ellis (a former teacher and past pupil of Wynberg) wbo represented WP as a Craven Week rugby player and Nuffield cricketer whilst at Wynberg.

Naturally there are displays of the cadet corps, a couple of items donated by England Test batsman Allan Lamb, a striking collection of Wynberg Boys' High badges, and photographs detailing tbe school's development in its 152-year existence.

The most fitting description of the museum heard during the everung was that "the most essential part of such a museum is that it encapsulates the history of t~e school in a form such that it can be preserved indeftrutely and continually grow and develop along with the school. "

STANDARD NINE CAMP The Standard Nine Camp was held this year at the Noordhoek Camp Site, from the 26th to the 28th of October. The Camp was well attended, and proved a worthwhile exercise in leadership and teamwork. For the first time in many years, the group was split up into smaller groups, each of these smaller groups being given a particular area of responsibility. As a result, the boys were themselves responsible for their own catering and general camp organisation.

There can be no better opportunity for a group of young men to realise the importance of the team than during such a camp. In addition, the boys were addressed by Messrs Probyn and Richardson with regard to aims for 1994 and the setting of goals. I should like to express my sincere thanks to all those involved in the organisation of the camp, in particular to Mr G Faiers and the Standard

The Chess Club is a small club with a regular attendance of between 20 and 25 enthusiastic, active players. Doubles games are very popular and on the odd occasion there are puzzle competitions with small prizes to be won. The Standard Six, Inter-House and Open Championships are being organised at the moment.

Use has been made of the large marble chess board. near the tuck hop, on pecial occasions.

On Open Night a display was et up at the marble chess board and members were available for challenge matches. However, the attendance of interested, chess-playing Old Boys was rather poor.

Christiaan Dednam won the WP Schools' Open Chess Tournament during the September holidays and has been selected for the Western Province Schools' Chess team to play during the December holidays.

Ms Foss/er talces the WBHS Choir through its paces Last year's Choir programme ended in our quadrangle with the second Carol Service combined with the Girls' High, Girls' Junior and Boys' Junior Schools. This very special evening was attended by close on one tbousand members of the Wynberg community.

The first term was spent preparing a Jazz Cantata - the JONAHMAN JAZZ - which was premiered at the end-of-term concert with excellent keyboard accompaniment from Ms V Groves. At the Std 5 Evening, the Choir sang the "Clipsong" , to the amusement of the Junior School boys.

The third term began with an intense Sunday workshop, in reality a cram-session for the Festival. The participants at the 8th Wynberg Choir Festival were old friends Girls' High, SACS, Voortrekker and the Swiss Male Choir, with newcomers Settlers and the Strand Kamerkoor.

The Wynberg Boys combined well with Settlers for "Hello Dolly·. and with the mature Swiss voices for VivaJdi' "Gloria".

This year was not as successful as previous years have been. The Senior team, consisting of Myles Lord, Jason du Preez and David Thomas, did not live up to their true potential, and succumbed to various unnecessary defeats.

However, once they found their footing again, they beat the highest ranked team in their division.

But this win was not enough to ensure them a place in the knockout rounds.

The Junior team, however, consisting of Justin Bennets, Craig du Preez and Niel Barnard, began the season in excellent style by winning all their preliminary debates and recelvmg many 'Best Speaker' awards.

Unfortunately, they narrowly lost to a finetuned Hoërskool Van Riebeeck side in the quarter-finals.

Third Term: Arts Week The third and final term on the drama calendar saw another One-Act Play Festival on our stage.

This festival involved WBHS WGHS, WBJS, WGHS and Plumstead High School. Wynberg entered its winning House Plays from tbe two earlier festivals. This was not a competition but, even without the competitive atmosphere, the festival was of a very high standard.

Another enjoyable, yet less formal, evening was the annual Variety Concert.

This gave boys the opportunity to display their various artistic talents. The evening included music, stand-up comedy, comedy sketches, juggling, magic, impersonations and dance. It provided a wide and varied selection of acts to suit everyone's taste.

Our success this year can be attributed to the dedication and hard work of all involved in the Dramatic productions.

The backstage and technical crews, consisting of Anthony Walton, Gordon Greef, Steven Browel, Stuart Bailey and numerous others, deserve much thanks for their hard work. Special mention must also be made of the staff involved in drama: Ms Jordan, Mr Kruger, Mr Decker and, especially, Mr Luman, whose hard work was essential to the smooth running of the drama year.

The following awards were made for 1993: Honours: Myles Lord Blues: Greg Norgarb, Roger Jones, Stuart Bailey Colours: Anthony Walton, Gordon Greef, Michael Arnot, Warren Tregurtha, Brad Paton

1993 was a very successful year for drama at Wynberg, and saw the initiation and reintroduction of events and ideas to improve it.

For one, the Drama Society was re-introduced to improve and serve drama at Wynberg. The Society aimed to get more people involved in drama in all facets, including acting, backstage, lighting, directing and set construction.

The Society met during Societies' Periods and, ~hen we were not preparing for a production, Indulged in a number of very entertaining improvisation games.

We al 0 honed our acting skills, make-up skills and directional kills.

First Term The first event on the Drama calendar was the Senior One-Act Play Festival, which was a resounding success. The competition was open only to boys in Standards Eight and above.

The results were as follows: (1) LW; (2) VR; (3) DW; (4) R; (5) W. Best Actor: M Lord (LW); Best Supporting Actor: G Norgarb (LW); Best Director: C Higgins (DW).

Second Term The second term saw the staging of the combined major production of "Little Shop of Horrors" with WGHS. This production was produced and staged at the Girls' School, and enjoyed good houses on the three nights it was perforrned. Boys who acted in this production were: Myles Lord, Greg Norgarb, Shamus Mossop, Brad Paton, and Justin Barry. There was backstage help from Craig Priday. The production was a great success and was thorougbly enjoyed by all wbo saw it.

The second term also saw the introduction of the Junior One-Act Play Festival to involve boys in Standards 6 & 7 in drama at Wynberg.

Congratulations to all of tbe above. We look forward to an exciting and challenging 1994.

Thank you to the Committee and all of the members for their support.

This year has been a busy year for our model builders, reaching a peak during the Societies' Evening.

As with last year, many of us attended the annual militaria show, Warfair '93 (the biggest show of its kind in the country), in Table View in September.

For some of us it was the highlight of the year as we had been working during the Societies Period to take part in it.

Next year we hope to revamp the Society completely so as to draw more members and to make it more enjoyable.

Many members have become interested in rock climbing, and outings to artificial rock climbing walls have been well attended.

Warwick Stopford, one of our better climbers, won a recent bouldering competition for his age group held at VCT. During Focus Week at the end of last year we hiked the Limietberg Trail in the Bainskloof area. Hacks and day hikes up Table Mountain have also been held this year.

Owing to the growing interest in rock climbing, we hope to construct an artificial rock climbing wall at Wynberg in the near future.

Although it is impractical to run the Society on a more formal basis, it nevertheless provides the boys with an opportunity to engage in a different activity during the normal school day.

Thanks are due to Lyle Johnson and his Committee for ensuring that the outings were organised during the Societies' Period.

This Society was formed at the beginning of this year, and it has grown since then to a total membership of about 25 boys. It had a shaky start, but we managed to establish ourselves very well. Most of our time is taken up with discussions about new bands, such as the Doors, Guns & Roses and Iron Maiden. We also listen to music, watch videos and have music quizzes.

The highlight of the year was undoubtedly the Societies' Evening. Our display included a tribute to the Doors and a full description of bands such as Guns & Roses and Iron Maiden.

We also had a live band playing anything from Clapton to the "Twelve Bars Blues". Although there were no prizes, many of the people who saw our display voted us as the best.

1993 has been an enjoyable and exciting year for the Committee and Society members.

There were more than 50 members in the Society this year and meetings were weU attended.

We had a number of special events this year.

These included demonstrations by the Committee of chlorine bombs, chemical reactions, rockets and a range of spectacular explosions.

The Society members also got involved in various competitions and experiments.

These included rocket building, egg dropping and paper jet competitions.

The highlight of the year was 'Open Night', where the members had a chance to show their parents what was done during the year. The evening ended with the traditional chainreaction, which is a long line of chemical substances and fireworks which ignited successfully.

The aim of the society was to teach the members how to operate and film with a video camera.

We did this by letting them film various school events such as rugby matches, the school gala and cultural events like the Societies' Evening. This pro\-ed to be most successful and the members of the society definitely learned a lot.

We also had a guest speaker, Mrs Lavranos, who came to talk to us about the directing of films and advertisements.

We learned how to write scripts for interviews and also watched and analysed various films.

Once again, Littlewood has belied the fact that it has half the number of boys as in the 'day' houses, and has more than held its own in the Friedlander Shield competition.

Highligh'ts of the year have been a second place in athletics, first place in water polo, and excellent performances (once again) in the Se.nior and Junior inter-house plays.

Most of the furniture in tbe hostel has been here since 1958, and shows its age! A start was made this year in upgrading the furniture, and by the end of the year 80 new metal cupboards will have been purchased at a cost of R 48 000. The money for these has come from both the boarding fees and from hiring out the hostel to various sporting groups during school holidays.

This project will obviously be continued next year.

Otber efforts to beauti fy the hostel have included the purchasing of some new pictures for the dining room, and a start has been made on putting group hostel photographs on the walls.

A highlight of the year was the annual hostel dance beid for Standard Nines and Tens at the end of the second term.

Well done to the Standard Eights for their efforts in organising this.

Since 1991, Silverhurst has been used as a hostel for up to twenty boys from Standards Seven to Ten. At the start of the second term this year, Silverhurst became a Junior Hostel for Standards Four, Five and Six. Although there have been no Standard Fours and Fives this year, it appears as if this will change next year. Judging from our enrolments for next year, it appears as if there are quire a few people who find the idea of a Junior Hostel appealing.

The year was emphasised by excellent performances at our Annual Sports Day and Inter-House Gala.

Congratulations to Roger Jones and hjs cast for their performance in the one-act plays.

Thanks to Allan Lipp and members of the SCU for their contributions to the House Assemblies.

My thanks also to the House Committee and Alex Wright who helped with the organisation of all house activities.

Van Riebeeck has once again had a very successful year. This year, however, we are way ahead on points for the Friedlander Shield; unlike two years ago when we shared the shield, and last year when we came second.

It is obvious that the organisation this year was better than in the previous years, and the talent in the house was exploited properly.

Van Riebeeck tearns ended on lOp or near the top in virtually every inter-house competition this year.

It has proven the point that the members of Van Riebeeck are very talented and there is no reason why this performance should not be repeated in the next two years.

My thanks must go to the house prefects for theIr sterling work in organising house tearns.

I also would like to thank and congratulate the hou e members who were responsible for the different activities. They have set an example which will be hard to follow.

I would, h.;>wever, like to see next year's house prefects taking up thjs challenge and even trying to improve on this year's effort.

Well done, Van Riebeeck!

Master in Charge: Coaches:

Wynberg hosted athletes from as far as Cradock and Port Eliubeth for this meeting, which has become one of the highlights of the WP Athletics calendar.

This meeting was opened in grand style by a march past of all participants, led by Tom Petranoff.

Four WP record were bettered; one by Grant McKay in tbe Under-14 lOO meter, wbo set a new time of 11.5 seconds.

At the Willards Meeting, Wynberg was once

again assurered of its dominance by being the Willards Champion School for the fourth year in a row. Top performances were by Grant McKay U-14 lOOm (11.5) and 200m (23.9), James Roberts in U-17 Javelin (61.68m) and Carl Boettger in U-17 200m (22.7).

For the next meeting, ten athletes travelled to Port Elizabeth to take part in the TOP 10 meeting organised by Framesby.

This is the first time we have been invited to this prestigious meeting, and we finished sixtb out of forty teams.

The best performance by Wynberg was Michael Arbuthnot (U -17 800m 01:57:30), wh.ile Jeremy Jacobs (U-15 8oom02:02:80) and Denver Perreira (U-17 1500m 04: 10:(0) set new meeting records.

The final meeting of the short fourth term was the WP Higb Schools Championships.

Wynberg, tbe defending champions, could not retain their title, as Paarl Gym won the day and Wynberg was placed second.

The top athletes who all won their events were the following: Rodney Adamstein (U-17 8oom), C Boettger (U-I7 II0m Hurdles), and Darren Milne (U-19 800m and 15OOm).

The 1993 season started with the Rooibos Junior Meeting at the new Bellville Stadium.

This meeting demontrated that much work was needed by our athletes if they wanted to go to SASOL becaused they all appeared underprepared for tbe coming season.

The only athletes wbo were on form were James Roberts (U-17 Javelin) and Michael Arbutbnot (U-17 8oom). . Our next meeting was Sportsday , whicb was won by Van Riebeeck. Although tbe athletics was of a satisfactory standard, the lack of top performers among the U-14's and the field events was worrying.

The individual champions were: U-I3 Cbris Brigbt, U-14 Barry Cooper, U-I5 Grant McKay, U-16 Brendon Arkwrigbt; and our Victor Laudorum, Carl Boettger (also our atbletics Captain).

At tbe SfMBA Peni~sula Scbools Championships, Wynberg dominated and the following atbletes were crowned champions: Neil Barnard (U-I4 Javelin), Ryan Smitb (U-I5 lOOm Hurdles), Grant McKay (U-IS lOOm & 2oom), Andrew Ross-Innes (U-17 Triple Jump), James Roberts (U-17 Javelin), Craig

White (U-17 Hammer), Brain Mawisa (U-19 400m Hurdles), and Carl Boellger (U-19 llOm Hurdles and 2oom).

At tbe second triangular with Stellenberg and Parow, our lack of depth and field athletes was exposed by Stellenberg. who easily took the day with Wynberg second and Parow third.

The top athletes were the following: Gareth Billimore (U-14 8oom), Paul Enuns (U-14 Javelin), Neil Barnard (U-14 Discus), Grant McKay (U-15 lOOm & 200 m), Gartb Turvey (U-IS 4oom). Michael Arbuthnot (U-l7 4oom, 800m & 15OOm), James Roberts (U-17 Javelin & Shot Put), Craig Adam (U-19 4oom), Brian Mawisa (U-19 400m & 8oom), Robin Buck (U19 Loog Jump), and Carl Boettger (U-19 110m Hurdles and 2oom).

The top athletes seemed to have kept their best for last to be able to' peak at the right time, and tbus we qualified for the SASOL Fioals for the second time by finishing second at tbe local SASOL Heats. The top performers were: Grant McKay (U-I5 lOOm), Ryan Smith (U-15 lOOm Hurdles), Michael Arbutbnot (U17 800m & 15OOm), James Roberts (U-I7 Javelin), Robin Buck (U-I9 Long Jump), Craig Adam (U-19 4oom) and Carl Boellger (U-I9 110m Hurdles).

At the SASOL Finals, Wynberg Boys' Higb School was once again the only Englisb-speaking school to bave made it to tbe fmals.

At the WP Championships, Micbael Arbuth.oot (U-l7 8oom) and James Roberts (U17 Javelin) woo individual titles, and tbey, with Carl Boettger (U-19 110m Hurdles) and Robin Buck (U-19 Long Jump), were chosen to represent WP at the SA Championships.

It bas been a full and satisfying season, and I would like to thank all tbe faitbful parents who supported our athletics. I would also like to thank the coacbes for tbeir hard work which made it possible for the athletes to acbieve sucb great beights.

on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Attendance was not as good as it should have been and a few players who did not attend practice were asked to find other sports. Craig Nairn joined us on Tuesdays and after a fitness warm-up, worked on specific aspects of singles and doubles play and helped pupils to develop their strategy and shots, such as service, lobs, drops, clearing and net play.

The first team was weakened by DaVid

We entered five teams this year, well aware that this would stretch our Friday transport arrangements.

We coped with support from Mrs Middleton, Mr Pearson and extra staff and parent help and the occasional taxi.

Michael Adams was unbeated this season, but missed several matches because of being injured or absent from school. The rest of tbe team included Tommy Viljoen, Rory Carew and Neil Thomas, supported by Steven Kahn, Donovan Steers and Ian Norgarb.

They kept their unbeaten record to the last (delayed) match, wbere tbey were beated by a highly motivated Norman Henshilwood learn, and were ju t beated by Rondeboscb for league honours in tbe secoDd round. Our team was till well ahead ODleague points for the season.

The second, thjrd and fourth teams each lruggled against first and second tearns from otber schools while the fifth team developed throughoul the season to win their league.

One problem we all have lo work on is our doubles combinations.

The league has gone back lO the old system of four singles and four doubles matcbes and we need players who can develop a regular doubles partnership and not be disrupted each week by absentees and shuffling of teams.

A very· successful series of inter-house matches were played on Tuesday 31 August.

The Senior Team, playing for the first time in the A League, experienced mixed fortunes this year, as the players battled to adju t to the new standard of play and the larger playing surfaces.

As the season progressed, players gained confidence, and there was a noticeable improvement in their play. The season ended on a very po itive note, with Wynberg winning the annual A League (second tier) tournament with wms over Bishops, Pinelands, Rondebo ch and Muizenberg.

Alan Lipp was chosen for the Western Province Schools team which played in the South African Schools Ba ·ketball tournament in Durban April 2-6.

This year's Junior Team had its most successful season since the start of Basketball at Wynberg in 1988. They also played in the A League of the Junior section.

The team adapted well to the higher· standard of play, culminating a successful season by winnjng the A League Junior Tournament by defeating Muizenberg, Herzlia, Bishop, and Rondeboscb.

Mr Cooper and Mr Van Rhyn lead the team of groundstaff to ensure that our facilities are first rate. May we never take our wickets and grounds for granted.

The role of parents is important for budding sportsmen.

That posItIve support and encouragement is essential in the maturing process.

"My parents were very supportive.' said Wimbledon tennis star Billie Jean King. "They never asked me if I won. They just a ked me how I did. whether] had given 100 percent and whether I was happy with myself. • Thought-provoking words indeed.

Parents contribute a great deal to the successful running of cricket at the school. and our thanks go to all who have contributed towards lunches. teas and lifts.

Cricketers continue to be involved on the umpiring front. This year saw five of our boys successfully complete the WPCA Umpiring Exams - Liam Brown. Howard Kahn. Kevin LiddIe. Sean Lambert and Trevor McCarthy.

They were all presented with their certificate during a ceremony at the WPCA offices in May. We are also proud of a number of Wynberg boys who have gained provincial and national recognition during the 1992/93 season.

In addition. any Saturday will see upwards of 15 - 20 Wynberg Old Boys playing in the 1st Division.

Chris Lurnan organised four cricket matches versus the Old Boys, which took place in March. The Old Boys came out trumps in the 1st and 2nd matches. while the school won the 3rd and 4th matches.

The annual house matches took place in the week before Sports Day. Both senior and junior sections were won by Van Riebeeck.

After a three-year tenure. our professional coach Mr Mike Bailey will not be retiring. We thank him for his input over tbis time. In his place. we welcome Stephen Curry. and hope that he will continue the Wynberg cricket tradition with enthusiasm.

My final commendation goes to the players of Wynberg.

addition, batting demands an extreme mental determination to achieve.

The modem day game not only requires that batsmen apply themselves fully, but that they score their runs quickly. Our first team is loaded with talent, but too often fifties have not been converted into hundreds and this has been the difference in the side drawing games, as opposed to winning them.

Our bowling was generally satisfactory, but an inability to topple the opposition top order on several occasions has also denied us results.

Mention should be made of the vast improvement of some of our front line bowlers, and the tidy bowling by the spinners throughout the season. Our fielding continues to be of a high standard.

The season was indeed hectic, starting with two matches played over the Christmas holidays against touring tearns from England.

We notched up a good win against St Peters from York, and earned a creditable draw against Tonnbridge.

Later in the year, we al 0 managed a convincing win against Denstone

College. [n addition, there was the Alexandra Week in Pietennaritzburg during January, during which the side won two of their matches and drew the remaining two.

The match against Maritzburg College was particularly memorable, ending in a draw.

The season holds many memories for me: Kallis' score of 146 against St Peters; Wright's brilliant effort in the field to deny Maritzburg College a win (and to run tbe batsman out); McKenzie's maiden innings of 50; Rookledge's incredible display of guts during the Cape Schools' Week (scoring a seventy and eighty both not out) and Wells' excellent catching and bowling in the Alex week.

It has been a pleasure working with this side, and in closing I would like to make mention of tbe work done by the professional coach, Mr Mike Bailey. and to thank Mr Richardson for his support.

Finally, I extend my sincere appreciation to all the parents who bave supported their sons so regularly during the year.

J Kallis (Captain, top order batsman, 1st change bowler) He must rate as one of the best cricketers the school has produced.

Has a wide range of attacking shots, olid in defence - he has a great future in the game.

Has developed excellent tecbnique and is particularly strong on the front foot - showed extreme concentration with the bat. Bowled a good line tbroughout the year.

WBossenger (Opening batsman, wicket-keeper)

Denstone College 61 all out (W right 4/17, Craddock 3/18) Wynberg 62 for 1 (Bossenger 31 not out) Won by 9 wickets

Needs to be more attacking; must learn to pick tbe correct ball to bit. Solid in defence. Has developed into an extremely competent keeper.

M Barham (Opening batsman) vs UCT Colts UCT Colts 146 all out (Denne 3/11) Wynberg 147 for 8 (Rookledge 43) Won by 2 wickets

Tends to play too many half shots, particularly weak on his legs as he falls over in the shot.

Needs to develop more confidence and a belief in himself.

CAPE SCHOOLS'

A GosleU (Top order batsman)

WEEK

He has extreme talent, but lacks the ability to concentrate.

He is a strong hitter, but will have to learn to treat each ball on merit if he is to score consistently.

vs Kimberley High School Wynberg 75 all out (McKenzie 50, Hofmeyr 30) Kimberley HS 107 for 7 (Wright 4/22) Match drawn

R Davidson (Middle order batsman)

Wynberg 70 all out Selborne 7 I for 4 Lost by 6 Wickets

His technique is solid, but he needs to develop a wider range of attacking shots. His major weakness is in the front foot drive to both sides of the wicket.

Improved tremendously as a fielder.

vs Dale College

L Johnson (Middle order batsman)

Wynberg 185 for 7 declared (Rookledge 88 not out) Dale College 187 for 4 Lost by 6 wickets

He proved himself reliable with the bat on more tban one occasion. His strength is in his running between the wicket, and his ability to work the singles. An excellent fielder.

vs Selborne

vs Union High School (Limited Overs)

W Denne (Opening bowler)

Wynberg 200 for 8 (Rookledge 74 not out) Union HS 125 all out (Wright 3/17) Won by 75 runs

He is particularly accurate with the ball, but still needs to develop variety in his bowling.

- 95-

The main reason for these unimpressive results was the fact that we had a very young and inexperienced team. However, they gained valuable experience, and hopefully will come into their own next year.

A sign of this inexperience was that many batsmen reached double figures, but failed to build a big innings. . However, there were some big innings; in particular, from Wayne McKenzie, who scored two 50's and was the top scorer of the team. Bryn Parkin also weighed in with some valuable knocks. Brandon Clark was by far the most successful bowler, taking 7 for 14 against Stellenbosch Districts and 6 for 39 against DF Malan with his off-spinners.

Bowls consistent line and length.

Has the ability to score runs quickly when the need anses.

J

Wells (Seam bowler) Proved himself effective with the ball, tends to be predictable but nevertheless bas the ability to make batsmen play shots more often than not.

Needs to develop a more serious attitude la tbe game.

G CraddocJc (Opening bowler) By far the most improved player in the side.

He has the ability to swing the ball both ways.

Needs to work on his action in the delivery stride, but bowled good line and length.

pvs

A Wrigflt (Spin bowler)

3RD CRICKET XI

Has made an enormous contribution to the game with his ability to turn the ball both ways. Unplayable to many batsmen, he has a good action and has developed good variation ID pace.

This team continued their success of the first term, beating Bishops by 3 wickets, Norman Henshilwood 1st team by 30 runs, and SACS by 13 runs. The Rondebosch match was not completed because of rain, but our opponents were on the rack at 17 for 2 in 13 avers (chasing 131 in 36 avers).

Some of the best performances with tbe bat were Grisdale 45 vs Bishops, Parkin 50 vs Rondebosch, Rowe 31 vs Rondebosch, Wallace 53 vs Norman Henshilwood and 23 vs SACS, Zeederberg 28* vs NHHS, Weeks 24* vs NHHS, Parkin 3-23 vs NHHS and Kalt 4-16 vs SACS.

The first half of the season was characterised by a very mixed set of results, with some nailbiting finishes.

Unfortunately, bowever, most of these close matcbes went against us, and our overall results were not that impressive.

The team lost to Rondebosch by only 3 runs, and twice bad the opposition 9 wickets down, but could not get the final wicket and therefore drew the match.

4TH CRICKET Xl Coach: Mr G Clark Team: M Patelia, P Wilson, C Baister, M Kirkman, M Karpinski, G Sidman, L Brown, M Golding, W Weitz, G Crous, D Miller, P Jooste The side had a very successful season, losing only two games. The guys performed well at all times, and were always a credit to the school. A number of solid performances with both the bat and the ball saw a number of the boys promoted to higher sides. Worthy of mention were fifties by Kirkman and Jooste, with some excellent bowling by Wilson and Patelia backing up the batsmen. A definite factor in favour of the side was the number of genuine all-rounders in the side; this saved us on a few occasions when it appeared our backs were against the wall. AH in all, a very impressive season, and it was a pleasure to coach such a spirited bunch of guy.

The 3rd Cricket team continued to be possibly the most enthusiastic team in the school. Their results were proof of many keenly contested matches - losing to Bishops by only 3 runs, beating Rondebosch by 2 wickets and beating SACS and Westerford by la and 12 runs respectively. Many players found their way into the 2nd team during the course of the season - just reward for hard work and determination.

Shane Zeederberg was an excellent captain, who displayed a fine knowledge of the game, and a record of six wins in eight games is owing in large measure to his able leadership.

Wicket keeping duties were shared between Wayne Merris and Morgan Poole. The team's seam bowling attack was carried by Beukes, Ungerer, Miller and Wilson, while Sean Lambert developed into a fine left arm spinner.

Shane Zeederberg was the most consistent batsman, with everyone else weighing at with a big innings some time during the season.

Our best fielder was undoubtedly Francisco Joshua.

Some of the best performances with the bat were: Coetzee 59* vs SACS; De Beer 39 vs Bishops; Ungerer 37 vs Primrose; Zeederberg 34 vs SACS, 29 vs Green Point, 28* vs Simon's Town, 26 vs Westerford; Barnard 24 vs SACS; Weber 21 * vs Rondebosch; Merris 20 vs Westerford.

Those who excelled with the ball were Lambert 4-19 vs Rondebosch, 3-5 vs Simon's Town, 3-15 vs Primrose, 3-43 vs SACS; Ungerer 4-7 vs Primrose, 3-17 vs Muizenberg, 3-20 vs Green Point; Beukes 3-20 vs Bishops, 3-21 vs Green Point; Wilson 9-22 vs

Apart from good victories over SACS and Rondebosch, the highlight of the season was the final night game against Bishops, played at Rygersdal.

The U l5A had a very successful season, winning seven of their nine matches. Both losses were to Bishops.

The side played positive, attacking cricket throughout the term.

Our bowling was particularly strong.

Donovan Henry got his 28 wickets at a cost of 6.8 per wicket, while our attack contained three excellent spinners in Sharhidd Taliep, Siraaj Conrad and Richard Gordon.

Our batting was fragile and inconsistent.

Without Taliep and Simon Hofmeyr, who were playing for SA U15 against England for half the season, we battled to pass 140. The batting was timid and over-cautious. Besides Taliep and Hofmeyr, only Garth Turvey was able to

against Bishops, Rondebosch and SACS. The team practised hard at improving their skills, and their enthusiasm made it a pleasure to coach the side. I believe that all the players enjoyed their season as our results reflect a happy side, namely: played 9, won 7, lost 2.

I would also like to thank Messrs Lawrence, Clark and Gerber for helping with the scoring and umpiring duties during the season, and to all the parents for their support.

Coach: Mr D Bromberger Team:

The E Team came into existence because the D Team could not accommodate all the players available.

It was not entered into any of the leagues, but rather played· friendlies against Voortrekker A and Herzlia B, and would have played Queens Park if the latter bad arrived for the game.

In the first match Wynberg lost by 81 runs, with Grisdale taking 2 wicket for 12; and in the second Wynberg lost by 9 wickets witb Acavalos having a first-dass innings of 21 runs. It was unfortunate that these very keen cricketers were not provided with more matches to develop their aptitude for the game.

Under the leadership of Clement February, Howie Kahn and Adrian le Roux, the D team shaped up well enough to win five matches (Windsor, Plumstead, Rondebosch, Norman Henshilwood and Bergvliet) and lose two (Camps Bay B and Pinelands B).

The most consistent batsmen were Honeyman (45 in 3 games), and Le Roux (48 in 3 games), while Ashfield (23 not out), Howes (25), Kuypers (16), O'Laughlin (15) and Knight (14) all achieved at least one good score. In the bowling department, Knight had the best figures (6/13 in 3 games), Le Roux got among the wickets (4/20 in 3 games) and others such as Kahn, Howes and Morgan obtained three wickets apiece.

Many thanks to Clement, Howie and Adrian for their succes ful leadership by example and the success they achieved with and for their team.

As in the past, our objective in the U 14 division this year has been to teach the boys the basics of the game and to ensure that they enjoy playing tbe game.

This year we have a very young team with no fewer than five of tbe boys still un. It is thu· not surprising that many of the boys' games still show a lack of maturity.

Our bowling, spearheaded

by Gareth Billimore, has been teady, and we certainly have not struggled to bowl sides out.

The sides' big failure thjs year has been our inabiljty to put a decent total on the board.

Our openers, Simon Martin and Justin Moreland, have often gained us a good start, but which the rest of the team has been unable to build on.

Somehow either the confidence seems to be lacking, or the boys are unable to concentrate for any length of time while in the middle.

Despite not having the most successful season, the team spirit remains high, and we look forward to a great improvement in the fourth tenno

U14B Coach: Team:

This was an interesting U l4B team, which recorded both superb and disastrous results.

When they held their catches and bowled straight, they beat Bishops and SACS. Loose catching and wayward bowling resulted in heavy defeats by Rondebosch and Table View.

Nevertheless, there were some memorable highlights - Graham Coetzee's hat-trick against SACS; Ross Peacock's 50 against Bishops; Steven Frew's calculated hitting and unbeaten 50 against Peninsula; Grant Robert's coverdriving and improved wicket-keeping - and so the list goes on. Graham Jeffrey showed some adroit captaining skills and Tom Hillier frequently caused the opposition to panic because of bis running between the wickets.

Gary Thoresen's off-spinners tantalised most of the opposition, and he was our most successful bowler by far.

There is stiIJ a long way to go - but the potential to be good cricketers is bubbling away underneath.

This UI4C team produced many good performances this season. The matches against Rondebosch, Bishop and Oude Moulen stand out. After making a reasonable 143 all out, our bowlers (led by G Wo boo - 5 wickets) managed to dismiss our opposition for 130.

Bi hop was another exciting match, led again by our bowlers. After being 50 for 2, Bishops were djsmissed for 77. We made this with 2 wickets to spare, a noticeable partnership being Stevens (28) and Revington (13) of 35. Our best performance, however, was against Oude Moulen, where we dismissed our opposition for 17. Revington managed to take 5 wickets for 4 runs. Our fielding and bowling won us our matches this season, with our batting frequently letting us down. Johnson was a steady opener, along with Lakay, Stevens and Mondel, who

Mr R P Connellan

The U 14 M idweek operated most successfully during the first term. There were a total of 52 boys involved, and every week either three or four games were played against other schools.

Practices were held on Mondays, and matches on Tuesdays, Wednesdays ór 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 assisted with transport, and the tuck shop for supplying cooldrinks for home matches.

There are undoubtedly boys witb some potential at cricket playing in thi group, and it will be interesting to see how they progres in the future.

The format of the matches ensures that everyone is involved, and even tbose who are not so naturally talented enjoyed themselves.

HOCKEY "Some big things grow in small ways - may Hockey at Wynberg grow into something big both in Schools Hockey and in the lives of boys (later men) who play the game. " So went the Hockey Report in the Wynberg Magazine twenty-five years ago in 1968 after the first season of Hockey at the School.

Those who started Hockey in 1968 at Wynberg would be astonished - not only in the growth of the game - but at Wynberg's

influence in Schools Hockey. Four boys were selected for WP A, and Wayne Denne's selection for SA Schools ensures that our name remains up there in the ligbts. The cherry on the top is always the end of the season tournaments, and it is pleasing to report that botb the U14A and the 1st Xl won their respective Indoor Tournaments.

In its 25th year, Wynberg entered 18 sides in the Schools' League, keeping them filled in

- 104-

spite of the flu and winter.

This was an achievement and a credit to tbe various coacbes. Coacbing by teachers alone could not keep tbe sport as healthy as it is, and the input of Old Boys is most appreciated: Grant Clark, Craig Price, Richard Carter, James Kipling, Duncan Mills, Wayne Dickson, Neil Rassmussen and Simon Crone all played a major role in tbe success of Wynberg Hockey this year.

Hockey is played for many reasons - for acquiring a skill; for learning a sport which will bring you life-long fun; for recreation; for making friends; for learning commitment.

My thanks to Messrs Lloyd, Coombe, Ten Velthuis, Kruger, De Carpentier, Maser, Decker, Faiers, Passenger and Mrs Hummel for ensuring that the values and traditions of Wynberg Hockey are well taught.

Witb 18 sides practicing and playing, together with the pounding from the Cape Winter, it i surprising that we have any surface at all. Our thanks go to Mr Cooper and his groundstaff for ensuring that we have first-rate facilities.

A Karaoke evening was held early in the season to raise funds to enable the boys to utilise astroturf facilities.

Playing on this surface is essential for the development of skills. The evening was a great success, which was a credit to all who helped.

Four Old Boys tearns returned to play tbe school in September, and for tbe first time we saw two reunion teams - 1968 (25 year reunion) and 1978 (15 year reunion).

In the 1st Team game, the school scored their biggest victory ever over the Old Boys (4-1).

Simon Crone, a 1991 Old Boy, ran a series of umpiring courses - both practical and theoretical - with the result that we have been able to give various umpiring gradings to a number of our players. The standard has risen to such an extent tbat we have even seen a Std 6 boy, Gary Thoresen, umpire a Ist Team game! , The House matches this year were won by Van Riebeeck.

My fmal word is to the players of Wynberg, who have given their best in whatever team they have played.

The depth of Wynberg Hockey is owing to the commitment of all the

players. To the Matrics, J wisb them well on tbe Hockey fields of the future, and I hope to see them back in Old Boys' games in the years ahead.

Although the team were unbeaten in their League matches, they had to wajt until the Indoor Tournament to obtain their only trophy.

This was a small consolation for the bigh level of bockey displayed throughout the season. . During the April bolidays, tbe team took part 10 the annual Founders' Festival, which was held in Durban. It was during tbis Festival that tbe team gained mucb spirit and earned re peet from otber teams for the entertaining hockey tbat they played.

Many friends were made with other schools from otber parts of the country wbicb will hopefully last' a lifetime.

My thanks go to Messrs Coombe, Faiers and Passenger for their assistance on this tour.

Results of Tour:

On returning from tour we had tbe pleasure of playing again t St JOMS, a school from Zimbabwe, whom we beat 4-0.

During the second term we participated in two minj tournaments.

In the first, held at Constantia Club, we were eliminated by SACS in the quarter-finals on penalty flicks. In the second tournament, we managed to reach the final, where we lo t once again on penalty flicks to Fairmont. Finally, the team was able to put it all together in the last tournament of the year held at ucr indoor complex. The team managed to overcome the Fairmont "jinx" in tbe semi-finals and went·on to beat Central in the final and retain the Indoor trophy.

Unfortunately, the team was eliminated in the first round of the Pony Cup by Fairmont on penalty strokes.

These consistent results were due to the high spirit and team effort displayed throughout the season. My special thanks must go the Wayne Denne, the team's captain, for his dedication as well as his motivational skills displayed during the season.

My gratitude must also be expressed to the parents who played a major role during the season, especially with lifts and helping out with the Karaoke evening, which was a resounding success.

J Mills (Left half) A solid tackler and always providing cover.

He must work on his distribution and his attacking abilities.

Coach: Team:

S Gordon (Left wing, 2 goals) Has tbe ability to beat bis man and supply quality balls to his centre forward.

He must work on his defensive play and his sbooting abilities.

An excellent season producing some fine results, is probably the best way to describe the fortunes of the third team. The side was a very spirited one, which enjoyed its bockey. As it turned out, the team played its best hockey in the two matches that they lost. As individuals, much can be expected from these players in tbe future, and it will not surprise me to see most, if not all, of the guys staying back, in the seconds or maybe even first next year. It has been a genuine pleasure to be associated with them this year, and I wish tbose staying behind next year all the luck in tbe world.

Once again, congratulations on an excellent season.

GC The 2nd XI enjoyed a successful season with Richard Davidson promoted to the team in the second balf of the season. He scored eigbt of our sixteen goals in the third term.

The depth of Senior Hockey at the school can be seen by the fact that no fewer than four of the above players represented the 1st XI on several occasions, and competition for places in the team was keen.

Jason Bailey proved to be a superb captam and leader until he was deservedly promoted to the 1st XI. My smcere thanks are extended to him for the fine job he did, and also to Gary Brown who took over the rems in Jason's absence.

My sincere thanks are extended to all the players for their unselfish commitment throughout tbe season, and to those parents who helped provide refreshments and transport

The team remamed unbeaten tbe whole season, with only two drawn matcbes.

The team had a few slumps, but they were able to pull themselves together wben the pressure was put on them. Development of team spirit, and concentration during practices, could only belp bring out potential in most players.

Coach: Team:

This side had a very poor season.

They were usually short of players when players moved up to replace sick or injured players in higher sides. and were often filled out with V14 or VIS players who had already played, and they were faced with opponents who were far stronger. In spite of these handicaps, they remained full of spirit and good humour.

A noteworthy achievement was their performance at the A Tournament, where the team drew three matches and lost one against tiff opposition.

This has been my second season with mo t of the members of the side, and throughout the two seasons the players' kill and ability have improved tremendously.

The team has played disciplined, structured hockey with an empha i on team work. Top goal scorers for the season were Luke Revington and Warren Lawre.nce.

Thjs has been a remarlêable year for the U 14A, with the highlights being reaching the Finals of both the U 14 Field (lost 0-1 to Parktown) and Indoor Tournaments (Won 3-2 Rondebosch). Simon Martin's goalJceeping has also been a highlight and a source of pride to those who watched tbe team every week - a field goal or penalty again t Wynberg was a rare occurrence.

The side improved no end during tbe season - with Neil MacKellar at centre-back proving to be a very competent tackler and distributor.

Tim Hillier and Andrew Jefferson worked hard at their games, and Graeme Jeffery, rigbt balf, showed real understanding of his position.

The link line of Gareth Blankenberg, Grant Clark and Gary Thoreson showed much kill and power. Once they learnt to release the ball quickly to the front runners, or failing this, to use the support man and go wide, we were able to set some very attractive moves in motion.

Up front, Graeme Coetzee ran witb purpose as a centre-forward, and scored some good goals. Grant Roberts and Wayne McCrae are both talented players who, if they work hard at their skills, have a bright future.

There are some very good players in this U14 team.

With practice and commitment, they will bring great credit to Wynberg in the year ahead.

KR

The C Team continued to play the attractive and spirited hockey that they displayed in 1992.

While we were sad to lose Trevor Kemp and Gary Beale halfway through the season. they certainly de erved their promotion to the B Team.

This year the team won eight of their eleven matches. Highlights of the season included a 5-3 win over Bishops (the only team to beat us last year) and a fine display of teamwork in their 4-0 victory over SACS in the second term.

My gratitude to the team and their very upportive parents for a mo t enjoyable season.

team spmt, enthusiasm, and determination ensured that the team also enjoyed the season and were a pleasure to coach.

Owing to various players moving up to the U 14A side, many player played in numerous po itions at the beginning of the season. They did, however, settle down into a steady side, and many promising players emerged with all the players howing a lot of potential.

I fell that in every game we were never outplayed, and could have won most of the drawn matches if we had had a forward who could have taken advantage of the many goalscoring opportunities.

The season tarted a little slowly, with the majority of players not having played hockey before. All player put a lot of extra time into their hockey by practising the basics.

TlUs served as a sound foundation for a very succes ful season.

Each player consistently worked hard and gave of his best in all practices and matches.

They li tened to advice and supported one another all the time.

Their dedication to Wynberg and to the game of hockey led to them thoroughly enjoying the season.

RUGBY RUGBY REPORT 1993

good image with their bearing on the field; the parents for their tremendous support, in respect of transporting, accommodating, running tuckshops, supporting at matches, etc; Old Boys and friends of the school who continued supporting the tearns during the season; Miss Fassler and her first aid group assisted by mothers for the fantastic service they gave the rugby club during the season; Mr Cooper and his ground staff for all the work they did in preparing fields, cleaning change rooms, etc; the coaches who carried out additional duties during the year, in particular Mr Kriel - entertainment, Mr Polden rugby balls, Mr RusseIl - referees; all the boys who assisted with sand and water, the score board and the ball room.

I am optimistic over the future of rugby at Wynberg.

I have no doubt that it will remain our top sport for many years to come.

The 1993 season was one of mixed fortunes.

The general standard of rugby in the school is of a relatively high standard.

A large numher of boys play the game, we have as many rugby tearns as any school in the Province, we have a very good coaching staff and a number of excellent games were played during the season by different tearns. However, the 1st XV, the U16A and the UISA, three of the most important tearns in the school, all had indifferent seasons, losing games they could and should have won.

Unfortunately the state of a school's rugby is judged on its top tearns and on this basis 1993 has certainly not been a vintage year for Wynberg. We firmly believe that rugby is one of the activities that take place at the school, that it is a game which is played for enjoyment and one which has much educational value, and we like to believe that we have a healthy attitude towards rugby in the school.

However, we must never be prepared to accept second best in any activity.

There is absolutely no reason why our top rugby teams are not able to play any comparable tearns anywhere in the world knowing that we will be competitive and able to hold our own.

We certainly trust that the weaknesses in our rugby will not be evident again next year.

My grateful thanks to the following:the coaches who did an immense amount of work to make the game enjoyable for the boys; the player who always presented a

OLD BOYS' GAMES A mo t enjoyable series of games were played again t the Old Boys on Wednesday 1st September.

A record number of seven teams turned out for the Old Boys, and a most enjoyable afternoon wa had by all. For the record, the Old Boys' tearns were a little strong, but what was ignificant was that the very strong Old Boys 1st team were most impressed by the play of th~ school team, who produced form they seldom showed again t other schools.

Perhaps it howed they were trying too hard during the season.

A disappointing season came to an end with a great display of running rugby against the Old Boys. After this matcb, many people have asked why couldn't the team produce tbat kind of rugby throughout the season. I'm afraid that will remain a mystery.

The failure of the team, to my mind, lies in the fact that only 16 tries have been scored during the entire season, and that the team's mental approacb to tbe game was not always acceptable. However, a team' success should not only be measured by the result on the field, but also by tbe bard work, commitment (from most of the players), the team spirit generated

vs Boland Agricultural (0-5)

SUMMARY OF MATCHES

We could hold our heads high after a brave performance from start to finish against our juggernaut-sized opponents. For the fir t time our forwards dominated set pieces, and a blunder from the referee saw a Kalli try disallowed. Lost Turvey with a fractured jaw.

vs Hartebeespoort (Tv1) (/8-0)

vs HS Oudtshoorn (/3-/6)

A good performance by the team despite the fact that we were totally outscrummed.

Carl Boettger scored two tries, with Kallis scoring the rest.

Lost in the dying minutes.

Played good constructive rugby in the second half. with Boettger leading the way with a brilliant try.

Lo t Buck with a broken leg.

vs Worcestor Gymnasium (6-/2) The first of many games we should have won.

Gave away a lot of penalties in this match.

Turvey played a blinder and was the best player on the field.

vs Rondebosch (9-13) Lo t the match with four minutes to go. Once again, the team had plenty of scoring opportunities.

Raubach played a storming game.

Kallis scored all the points with 3 penalties.

vs Paarl Boys' High (6-/9) Early pressure from Paarl kept u on the defence for the entire first half. Second half we played good rugby, and scored the only points. We looked more solid both on attack and defence. Petterson played possibly his best match of the season.

vs Bishops (6-9) Bi hops came back strongly in the second half and secured victory with 30 seconds to go. We played with a lot of guts and determination.

Walker played his heart out with the rest of the team not far behind.

vs St lohns (Tv1) (17-12) A much better performance, but a bad slump in the second half brought the visitors back into the game.

Crofton and Boer scored, with Turvey playing another blinder.

Looseforwards stood out for their work rate.

vs SA CS (7-0) A converted try by Carl in the second half steered us to our fir t victory of the season.

On a muddy patch Johnson and Kalli dictated play brilliantly and kept us going forward.

vs Strand (6-24) One of the worst di plays of season. Loose-forwards and out.

Outstanding feature brilliant cover defence, which left wing of two certain tries.

CAPE SCHOOLS' WEEK rugby seen this R Walker tood was Boettger's denied Strand's

vs Queens (9-37) In a very attractive match, Queens was too trong for u. Carl Boettger showed his skill as a goal kicker, scoring three very good penalties.

vs Drostdy (7-/8) Another match where we did not use our scoring opportunities.

Five chances came our way, and only one was used when Boettger ran from his own lOm line to score. Once again,

vs Dale (3-27) Probably one of our best matches this season.

Played with a lot of guts and determination against a highly rated Dale's side. We kept

- 117-

them at bay for most of the first half, but the second half too many gaps opened up for Dale to score. vs Selborne (5-50) We went only the field with six players not available to us due to injury. Despite this, the team played very hard, and played with guts and determination. Weeks played a blinder and scored our only try.

Possibly tbe worst match of the season. We never looked as if we wanted to play. There was no guts and commitment. The backline made it easy for SACS with sloppy handling, poor options and bad defence.

(Boettger scored the only try). vs Old Boys (40-43) In a highly entertaining match, tbe 1st XV produced tbe type of rugby of which they are capable. Running the ball from all areas of the field, they scored some brilliant tries with Boettger scoring lhree. One of the Old Boys commented tbat tbis was the hardest Old Boys game in whicb he bad played.

vs Cheltenham (UK) (15-10) It was a case of sweet revenge when we beat the visitors in an attractive match. After the injury to the 8th man of Cheltenham, we stopped playing rugby and led them into the game. Tries scored by Turvey and Boettger.

Villagers 7-A-Side Wynberg entered two leams for the 25th anniversary of Villages 7-A-Side. Botb teams were disappointing, with the A-team losing against Table View in the second round and the B-team against Zwaanswyk in the quarter-finals of the Plate competition.

vs Paarl Gymnasium (7-29) The visitors proved too be physically too strong for Wynberg. Their heavy pack of forwards set the platform for their backs lO play open constructive running rugby. Boettger scored our only points. vs Paul Roos (5-41) We were clearly outclassed by an impressive Paul Roo learn. Again, we did not use all our scoring opportunities.

The match was far closer than the score-line suggests. Boettger scored the only try.

Hamiltons 7-A-Side The A-learn played good rugby throughout the tournament to reach the semi-flOals.

Unfortunately. they lost against a determined Rondebosch side.

The B-leam was very disappointing and managed to win only one match.

vs Rondebosch (5-15) Rondebosch forwards dominated set- and looseplay, and never allowed us inlo the game. We staged a courageous recovery, and Rondebosch's try at lhe end was just reward for some enterprising play.

Results - A-Team vs Paarl Gym B: 20-10 vs Tygerberg B: 40-5 v Settlers B: 35-5 vs Milnerton A: 20-0 (Quarter-Finals) vs Rondeboscb A: IS-3D (Semi-Finals)

vs Set/bergh (UK) (16-6) A far better performance.

Backline looked dangerou and played well. Johnson and Boer scored tries.

Results - B-Team vs Primrose: 3D-ID vs Table View B: 10-45 vs Rondebosch: 5-35

vs Boland Agricultural (6-13) Winning all aspects of the game except on the score board. Missing yet again a lot of scoring opportunities. vs SACS (7-19) - 118-

B MILLS (Flank, 7) A good, fast tlanker.

Must work on his ball skills and defence. Expect a lot from him next year.

An excited group of 25 boys and 3 masters assembled at the DF Malan Airport from 5 pm on 28 November for the start of their overseas Rugby Tour.

After an exciting flight, the Jumbo ject landed a few minutes before 6 am at Heathrow the next morning.

We were met by our coach and set off towards Scotland on what was to prove to be a most wonderful experience.

The first night was spent at York, and tben it was up to Edinburgh to play agains George Watson's College.

The College is big, with some 2 000 tudents from Sub A through to the Upper 6th. The High School is served by about 155 teachers, and we were struck by the most impres ive academic atmosphere, with small classes and a high standard of work evident.

The game was played on the main school field, which is also hared by the Wat onian Club, one of tbe leading clubs in Scotland, numbering Gavin and Scott Hastings among their ranks. Both of Ihem, together with Craig Cbalrners, the Scottish flybalf, attended the game, as well as the after-match function. The game (won 44 - 3) was superbly refereed by Jim Flerning, the World Cup referee.

The next school we played was Sedbergh School in the mall Cumbrian village of Cumbria.

The school has a proud rugby tradition, and has produced three international rugby captains in the immediate past and present - John Spencer and Will Carling of England, and Mike Biggar of Scotland. Of the three England tearns winning back-ta-back "grand slams", two were captained by Old Boys: Will Carling and the very famous William Wakefield, one of tbe "Danie Cravens· of English rugby.

With the unspoilt country atmosphere of Sedbergb, the boys attending this school are very lucky; although, as witb all the private schools there, tbe fees are very rugb - a basic fee of something in the region of R 50 000 per

annum plus other extras.

The game itself was played on a very muddy, sticky pitch.

We played with a weakened team with both Captain and ViceCaptain (Charl and Michael) injured, and several injuries during Ihe game further disrupted the team.

The boys rose to the occasion magnificently and played with a great deal of determination lo win 6-3.

Againsl probably Ihe strongest opposition of the tour, the team resisted very strong pressure in the second half and raised the thought that if they approached all their games al home with the same attitude, very few games would ever be lost.

From there it was on to Bloxham to play Ihe local school.

The Bloxham coach is John Horton - the English flyhalf in the 1984 team which toured South Africa.

Played on an extremely muddy field, as was the game against Sedbergh, we managed to win by 7-5.

A trip to London incorporating a coaching session with Dick Best, the current English coach, and a visit to Twickenham to watch the Oxford-Cambridge game, was the precursor lo our stay with Cheltenham College.

On a surface which was the best encountered on tour, the boys produced a rather dismal performance which was very much lacking in application, and they were rather lucky to only lose 15-24. The team gave the impression of being overtaxed and overt rained ph ysicall y, and very much under-prepared mentall y.

Al f Morris came up from Oxford to watch the game and helped reduce the gloom of tbe learn's poor performance.

Cheltenham College was founded in tbe same year as Wynberg, 1841, and bas the mosl magnificent Chapel, Dining Hall and Library.

The College has a strong military heritage, with a whole classroom block of 13 rooms each being dedicated to an Old Boy who had won the VC. After leaving Cheltenham, we ""enl straight on to Bristol. The Bristol Grammar School is rather impressive, having been founded in 1532 during the reign of Henry Vnl. The imposing front enlrance has a stone bead on either side, one of Henry VIJl and the other of Quoon Victoria, during whose reign the school had

moved to Ihe present site in 1875. The school has the most magni ficent indoor sports complex, but ground pace is limited and all the sports fields are situated about 5 miles away.

It was bitterly cold al the grounds, and conditions were fairly bad, bul Wynberg produced a good effort to win 12-3. Michael Munro scored the Iry of the tour with a really good solo effort. The Grammar School had a good team which had experienced a successful season.

Onto the coach again and over the massive Severn Road Bridge into Wales, and passing Newport, Cardiff and Bridgend before coming to Swansea, where we were to stay in Gowerton - a suburb - for the next three nights.

The Gowerton Comprehensive School was the only State school we played, and it obviou ly served a lower socio-economic group and with lower standards of discipline.

However, the warmth of their welcome was unsurpassed, and they went out of their way lo make us feel at home.

The Gowerton School has a long rugby history and tradition. In 1935, two 16-year-old schoolboys, Haydn Tanner and Willie Davies, played for the Swansea team which defeated the All Blacks, and over the years they have produced their fair share of Welsh Schoolboy and Senior lnternational players.

Unbeaten during 1992, Gowerton lost tbeir first game againsl Wynberg (8-31) in front of one of the biggest crowds of the tour. As far as possible, the Wynberg team was constituted of the leavers.

After saying goodbye to our new friends, it was up to London on tbe M4, where we spent a few days sigbtseeing. Unfortunately, this all finished too quickly and it was back home for Christmas for most of the party.

A great tour and a magnificent experience for tbe whole party. The boys proved to be very good tourists, being friendly and wellbebaved, and generally being good ambassadors for both Wynberg and South Africa. A greal deal of positive comment was received from many bosts, and it was a pleasure to be associated with a fine group of young men.

The Rugby Tour to the UK was an - 121 -

outstanding success. The Wynberg team had to adjust quickly to low temperatures and wet muddy fields, but neverthele s played some good and attractive rugby, winning five out of six games played.

As the Coach, I enjoyed coaching the Second Team this year. This surely reflects back on all the players who represented the Second Team. They were at all times willing to learn and give their best at practices, which made it easy for me to coach them. I don't want to single out any player, but rather compliment the whole team and congratulate them on a fine season.

Paul Roos, Bi hops, Strand and SACS are the games that stand out, where the whole team played exceptionally good rugby.

To all Second Team players, thank you for a memorable season; and to all parents and supporters, thank you for your support - it is much appreciated.

I would also like to thank Mr Polden and Mr Pretorius for their support and advice.

The goals of the season were to improve skills and for all to enjoy the season.

Both goals were achieved, although the aims were made difficult by the constant changing of the teams for practices and matches.

- /22 -

Both teams fared well against our traditional rivals, although they lost narrowly against Bishop, but comfortably beat SACS and RBHS. The boys were enthusiastic and a pleasure to coach, but (if criticism could be given) they were perhaps lacking in confidence when playing the Boland schools.

Players who could strengthen the 2nd XV (and maybe the 1st XV) next year are Edward O'SuIIivan, Sean Schoeman, Michael Mclntyre, David Cuff and Gregory Craddock. Thanks to the two captains, Steven Wood (3rd XV) and Richard Wallace (4th XV) for their help, and congratulation on leading their tearns so well.

U16A RUGBY TEAM Coach: Team:

The Ul6A Team has never realised their potential.

Fitness, and therefore a lack of concentration, were tbeir downfall.

Given a game plan tbey were great, until they decided on, or tbe lack of filnes necessitated, a change.

One otber setback was the fact that there were too many individuals.

The team was always placed second.

There is no doubt that some of these boys will be playing in the top open sides next year.

I encourage all to put in a little extra effort.

Special mention mu t be made of Dylan Keating, who only tarted playing rugby thjs year. He worked hard and was always eager to learn.

He learnt one of the golden rules of rugby: no individual is greater than the game of Rugby.

Thanks to all the players and the coaches for their help. Special thanks to the parents for their support.

This team con isted of many Matrics and Hostel boys, who were often involved in other sports, but who were alokeen to have a game of rugby from time to time.

One often wonders what happens to the lowest team in an age group, when sickness and Injuries in higher teams take their toll. It was almo t impo ible to have a team practice on a Thursday and hope to retain the same side for the Saturday match.

Nevert,heles, we always managed to rise to the occasion and produce a pirited match. Unfortunately, we were often matched against tronger third teams.

We bad a very enjoyable season. This is a very talented group of boys, and their skills and ability were far superior to most of tbe sides they played against.

This is shown by their record of 75 tries scored. The fact that only 27 points were scored against them is further proof of tbe po itive way in which they approached the game.

This side reacted positively to the coaching and at the end of the season they managed to take full advantage of the positive influence of the new rules and they used it to their advantage.

The result was tbat it was a pleasure to coacb and work with these boys.

Their scrumming was impressive, especially on their own try line. Their rucking and mauling was a pleasure la watch an~ their handling of the baH was lick.

Wesley Donald was the top try scorer with 14 tries, followed by Peter Kirsten with JO tries. If the place-kicking was more reliable on occasion the total points tally could have look a lot different.

Memorable games were played against Bellville Tach, wbere they played some of the best rugby of the season and the wbole team contributed to the win of 56-0.

They beat Tableview, playing in soaking rain, 42-0, and

After a very successful first half of the season, in which we won six of the seven games, the second half of the season was eagerly awaited.

It turned out to be quite an anti-climax, as we only managed to win one game in five outings.

During the season of mixed fortunes the highlight was a fine 10-5 win against Bishops, in which we showed courage and determination when defending for long periods.

Our game plan of fifteen man rugby never changed and each player developed hjs skills as the season progressed .

I certainly enjoyed coaching this side, and I am sure the boys did as well. I would like to thank all the players for being so responsive at practice, and all the parents for their regular

increased they struggled with numbers and they lo t a few of their games in the last part of the season.

These players enjoyed their practices and played with spirit. There were a few occasions where the odd player did not co-operate and that spoiled the game for all involved. It is a pity that the players who take the game seriously have to suffer because of the inconsiderate attitude of some of the players and their parents.

In the end we had to use players from the under 14 division lo fill up the side.

One of the mo t memorable occasions for this side was when they beat Bishops 67-0 at Bishops. In this game they played to their full potential.

If we could have kept that side together it could have been a great season.

My hope is that we will be able to get these guys together again next season and fonn one of the best U 16D sides this school has seen.

The potential is there and I hope that all these players will continue to play the game.

The time and effort the team put into their

rugby reflects in their results. After an early setback against Hands and Hearts, the team played well; most notably against Paarl Boys' High School (21-0), Boland (34-3), Rondebosch (20-0) and Bishops (22-0).

J Stevens, at scrumhalf, captained the side with great enthusiasm, and led by example.

The front row of A Faria, B Luman or W Gadd, and JP de Villiers was formidable, with De Villiers being the top try scorer in the team.

G 0 borne and G Havers always won a high percentage of line-out balls, and with the back row (made up of A Murphy, A Johnson, J Driver, G Hewett and D Tredoux) the team never looked likely to lose the ball on the ground.

The backs also played well.

The combination of G van de Bergh, B Devlin and J Cussen seemed to work at flyhalf and centre re pectively, being strong in both attack and defence. The wings A van As, S Watson and J Bland did not lack pace, and with S Cawood at fullback, safe under the highball, the team constantly played positive running rugby.

I would like to thank Mr P van Schalkwyk and Mr D Russel for their help this season, as well as Jeremy (for captaining the side) and all the parents (for their upport and for their supplying of lifts).

It is extremely important that they realise that commitment to and enjoyment of the game are the two most important aspects on the field no matter what the level of play may be. Nevertheles, always willing to learn, they were a plea ure to coach.

Keep playing the game, and good Iuck in the· future.

Highlights of the season include the win against Paarl Boys High after being 15-0 down at half-time, and the end of season win again t our traditional rivals, SACS. Finally, a word of thanks to the captain, Gareth Hewelt, who held the side together well on on the field, and to all the parent who supported 0 regularly during the season.

U14D & E RUGBY Coach: Team:

The Under 14 D and E tearns both bad their share of good and bad fortunes.

What was most impressive to watch at this level was the standard of ball kills.

Both the D and E teams, however, unfortunately seem to come across higher teams where sheer physical size far outweighed the skill level.

What was particularly pleasing to see was the noticeable good work that was done during practice time.

The basic techniques of passing, maintaining possession and tackling are crucial at this level, and the boys certainly developed their playing ability.

Finally, I per onally would like to thank Mes rs, Stephen van Rhyn, Bryn Thomas and Alvin Verdon for their hard work and dedication in the coaching of these ide.

The boy certainly have much to be grateful for, and they certainly have raised the tandard of their own play.

1993 was an exceptional year for Wynberg Squash. Our senior tearns swept the boards in the local knock-out tournaments, winning the Super, A, B and C Leagu~ - an indication of the incredible depth of our Squash.

Because of our strengths this year, we decided to split our top eight players inlo two tearns of equal strength, called Wynberg lA and Wynberg IB. These two teams both played in the Superleague and finished first and second respectively in both the first and second rounds. For the knock-out competition at the end of the season, we fielded our best learn and beat Bishops 4-0 in the fUlal, losing just 34 points in the whole match! Our full-strength

side also won the local Top Schools Tournament when they beat Rondebosch 4-1 in the final.

This earned them the right to participate in the National Top Schools Tournament, attended by· the top school from each Province, in Pietermaritzburg.

Here we finisbed a disappointing fourtb in tbe councry when we were clearly at least as good as ~ other school at the tournament.

Our players lacked the ability to perform under pressure for two reasons. I believe, firstly, they received so little competition in Cape Town, that when they encountered stiff opposition they were not accustomed to it. And secondly, they did not approach the tournament with tbe right mental attitude.

It was a lesson well learnt, and I firmly believe that next year will be Wynberg's year to an even greater extent.

We lose only our captain, Lee Erasmus, in tbe top seven players!

Our number one, Miguel Rodrigues, had a superb season, losing only two matches - both against Alan Nestal (ranked number 7 in the country). Miguel has a strongly disciplined mind and incredible retrieving ability, wbile Lee Erasmus improved incredibly this season, especially as he improved his ability to concentrate.

Brent Stander was perhaps the one who

improved the most in the season as a very quick, very athletic and unbelievably fit player wbo was always the one leading in the fitness sessions. Once Brent realises bow good be is, be will be an awe-inspiring opponent.

Jake Bester, a young U 15 player, was at a considerable disadvantage in that be could never practice witb the team because of rugby commitments with the UI5A team, but he worked at his game on his own and ended tbe season with the best record in the team, losing only one match out of 17!

Antonio Bruni may well be the most talented of all the players in tbe top six. He is incredibly quick and agile, and has every shot in tbe book. Potentially, he has a big future, and is currently ranked at number 8 in the national U 16 rankings.

Grant Acutt is a real fighter wbo plays every point as if his life dePends on il.

Gareth Wobbe is still in Standard 6 and not yet 14, but played in our la Team at number 3 and 4 with considerable success.

He is currently ranked number 6 in tbe country at U 14 level, and possesses great racquet skills, with bis backhand drop as bis forte. As a leftbander be also has considerable advantage.

Pbysically be is still a young boy and be will - 132-

need to work at strengthening his legs and arms if he wants to maintain his position in the country.

Bryn Parkin and Richard Wallace shared the number 8 slot during the season, with Parkin coming through strongly at the end.

I should like to thank those students who came to help me coach this year.

Andrew Vinteent and Duncan de Groot were regular visitors to our practices, and Grant Isaacs, Jonathan Quayle and David Becker also helped

Next year we intend fielding three equal strength sides in the Superleague in an attempt lO expose our players to the highest level of Squa h. 1994 will be an extremely exciting year for Wynberg Squash.

At the beginning of the season Wynberg entered two split-strength tearns in the U15A League and totally dominated the League. As a result, we decided to enter our U15A side in the U19B League in the second half of the season, and entered our U15B and C tearns in the U 15A League as two split-strength tearns.

The second half saw our top twelve players receiving good competition, which improved their games tremendously.

A feature of the U 15 division was our depth and our keen competition for places in the tearns. If we consider that our two top U 15 players played virtually the whole season in the U 19 Superleague tearns, then there must be few schools in the country who can match Wynberg at U 15 level. With such a talented group of youngsters coming up, Wynberg Squash should go from strength to strength.

Wynberg continued to dominate tennis in the Western Province. The first team, under the captaincy of P Blyth, kept its unbeaten record on the local competition for the second consecutive year. We hosted two touring sides this year - St Stithians and Kearsney College, who were too strong for our boys, and gave us a lesson in tennis, especially how to win pressure points.

The tennis results were:1st Team Premier League 1st 2nd Team First League 3rd 3rd Team Second League 5th 4th Team Fourth League 3rd 5th Team Fifth League 2nd 6th Team Fifth League 7th 7th Team Sevemh League 6th 8th Team Eighth League 5th 6A Team 5th 68 Team 5th

the Western Province A-Team, and Peter captained the side.

In the Wynberg Championships J Rookledge defended his title successfully when he defeated M Faure (6-3; 6-3). C Potterton beat D Smith for third and fourth place respectively (7-5; 6-3).

We are indebted to Mr G Coombe for his dedication to the first team and to all the other tennis coaches for their guidance and time spent coaching the Junior teams.

provincial tearns, winning five out of seven mathes, thus elevating themselves to One of the leading schoolboy volleyball teams in SA. [n tbe fmaJ knock-out tournament of the seas they comfortably beat Spire Rd Secondary by 3-0, thereby affirming their status as the top team in the Cape.

The second team, who were entered into tbe first league, battled against stiff opposition, but acquitted themselves well during the season.

They were eventually seeded eighth out of a possible sixteen teams for the knockout tournament, where they lost to the WBHS VISA's.

The experience gained by the younger members in the team will stand them in good stead for the 1994 season.

Once again 1993 saw the WBHS V ISA team dominate the schools' volleyball.

They only lost one league fixture the whole season - thi bears testimony to an excellent team. Rigorous training, sound teamwork, a healthy team spirit and outstanding coaching from Casey Augoustides laid the foundation for their uccess. The team also undertook a first ever tour to the Transvaal, which was highly successful.

They played against semi-

The UI6A's, who started as a completely new team, moulded quickly into a devastating unit winning virtually all their matches during the season.

The side was ably led by M Faivelowitz and a strict code of discipline, team spirit and commitment was emphasised from the outset.

This enabled the team to progress to the emi-finals!Uld eventually the finals of the end-of-season play-offs.

Unfortunately, the lo t 1-2 to the German School, but ended the eason as the second best team in the U 16 league.

The U 18 teams hould benefit enormously next year from the talent available from this junior group of players.

The U 16B team, led buy captain T Smith, had the disadvantage of playing in the A league and as a result battled for much of the season.

However, they managed to register some sound victories, mainly again t Plumstead. It mu t be noted that the loss of concentration by the team during critical moment often cost them the matches.

by a touring Hungarian club Eger, Mark Templeton was singled out as being one of the two top players in the Province - an outstanding achievement! As a result of this he was invited to train in Hungary for two weeks during July this year. Besides doing well in its league fixtures, the team also beat a WBHS Old Boys' team during tbe first term.

During the September holidays, tbe team participated in the annual SACS waterpolo tournament. The side played extremely well, losing only one match (by 1 goal) out of the 7 matches that were played. These results have placed WBHS in the top five waterpolo tearns in SA. Once again, Mark Templeton was singled out and was selected for a festival team made up of the top players at the tournament.

During the fourth term the team will contend for tbe McZinter Cup, to decide the top team in the Province. They also hope to provide a number of players for the WP tearns this year.

first team brimming witb talent, there were high hopes for an excellent season ahead. To date the 1993 first team has had one of the best seasons in recent years. The team started off losing narrowly to SACS (4-5), but later on in the season made up for this by defeating SACS 4-0 and 3-0. Bishops was also defeated in three consecutive matches. The only heavy loss came against a strong Rondebosch team containing many Western Province players (0-5). At a special coaching clinic, arranged

solid commitment, sound team spirit and an enthusiasm for the game. Duncan Scott led the team by example and a sense of discipline was instilled from the start - this made all the difference, as a lack of discipline has let down Wynberg tearns in the past. Many thanks must go to Chris Pearse, who was ever present, giving invaluable coaching tips to the team.

The third team battled to cement together as a team earlier on in the season, and as a result, lost their initial matches. However, under the steady captaincy of I Mills, the side improved steadily and eventually beat a strong Bishops team in their last match of the season.

G Ruffel was promoted to the 2nd Team, while players such as W Corin, G O'Brien and R Barrelt have played well enough to be considered for the second team later on this year.

They gave a good account of the themselves against local rivals Bishops, SACS and Rondebosch, and won some outstanding matches.

J Britton and S Marais were promoted from the 5th Team, and strengthened the 4th Team tremendously.

Many of the players in this team are still young, and tru bodes well for the future.

The second team have had an outstanding season, losing only one league fixture, against Rondebosch.

The team developed into a solid unit earlier on, and W Tregurtha led the side by example. The team accounted for a touring team, Fourways (7-2), and Westerford A's (3I), besides having exciting matches against SACS B (4-3) and Bishops B (5-2). Most of the players are in Std 9, and sh0tVd thus provide much input to the 1st Team for 1994.

OLD BOYS' NEWS WYNBERG mGH SCHOOL OLD BOYS' UNION

School and the Union.

There is much enjoyment to be had by playing a part. In this regard it is good to see so many of our young Old Boys involv'ed in School coaching and various other activities. A pleasing outlook for the future of your Union.

The Annual Old Boys' Dinner was held at the School this year. Despite the harsh August winter, the evening was an undoubted success.

We are determined to maintain the venue for the next year and hope, by doing so, to keep costs down in order to facilitate our student members.

To all Old Boys my best wishes for their future, and a very special welcome to you who are joining our ranks this year.

Each and every year I am amazed at the achievements of our Old Boys in all spheres of life. The quarterly newsletter is our most important mode of communication, keeping us informed of what our members are achieving in all parts of the World.

Here I wish to make a special appeal to all members, and parents of Old Boys, to keep the Committee informed of the progress made by Old Wynbergians.

Underlying these achievements attained by Old Boys leads one to seek a deeper significance. The bonds that exist amongst our members have been born out of loyalty to and a pride in the School. On reflection each of us should take stock of our contribution to the common cause, a closer identification with the
