The Visit of the Orchestra.

Our Magazille representative. having been granted a respite[ram the Wednesday afternoon ta~k of estimating tJ1e degree ofsubordination of an exceedingly im;ubordinate and refractorvclause, joined a stream of others. who had intermitted equallysearching ventures into the subtleties of knowledge. The streamled to the Hall. Here the ~tage harl been transformed into anorchestra pit, before which and his orchestra Mr. Pickerill \~'asrenewing his aCflllaintance with us in the role of listeners.

Mr. Piekerill explained the difference between Absolute Music,which seems to he its own excu~e. and Concert Music which iscomposed for entertainment, promisinj?; us a selection of Concertl\.fusic only. The programme was, therefore, in the descriptive orrepresentational style. the imitative effects being excellent. Mr.Piekerill introduced each piece in a few amusing remarks. in whichhe told us what to listen for and from what section of the orcbestracertain effects would come-a valuable aid to our enjoyment.

The performance was very successful. The nature of theprogramme alloweu us that delight there always is in recognising asound reproduced in another. suggestive. medium.

The Debating Society.

Office Bearers, 1932 :-A. I,angtoll. Hon. Secretar~'. E. Shaw, Committee Member

The Debating Society coml1lenced its series of meetings on the15th April. the s\lb.:ect being that ,. The pleas\lres of country lifeare ~re:lter than those of town life." Before a fair audience, the!'peakers were slightly nervous at first, hut settled clown tocritical compari!'ons of the two modes of living. Alllong thespeakers Sha\1' and ScllOCk were outstanding. Many people ;;pokefrom the floor, criticising anel pointillg out overlooked considerations.Altogether this first debate gave promise of a very agreeable anclentertaining year for the would-be Parliamentarians. especiall~' asmany of the debaters were making their debut ill deb~ting circles.

The IOl1g-looked for second debate of the year was held on the23th April the subject this time being" That the landiu;?; of ,'anRiebeek at the Cape was a I1l isfortnne to South Africa." Thedebate was hotly contested on both sides. alld brought forth somereally excellent speeches. lIldeed. the whole subject was ",ellexplored. and there was not one point but wa" carefully analysedand critici'ied. On the whole. there was a great impro\'ementon the speechc:s of the first debate. owing partly to the ambiguityof the sub;ect and partly to the keen alldi{~nee. The ~peakerswere well supported from tbe floor, wllieh rounded off a splendidevening's debate.

After the debate, Mr. Vemon Forbes, who hael taken part inthe 19:32 Cambridge Exp~dition to Gre:,nland, gave a graphicaccount of the work: a:lc\ a~lventLlre'i which fell to his lot amid thefrozen ice-packs. Amid gasps ()f i llcrE'tlul ity :rom his audience.Mr. Forb~s eloquently paillted a picture-u picture or life in thelalld of perpetual snow. It was a striking picture, full of b'thvi\·id ach'cntllre and mOllotonOl1S habit: hllnting, fishing undexploration wit.hout ceasil1g, for twelve montus in the year. Afantastic, indefi1lable vision is this lanel. where the sun shines fortwenty four hours a rlny for four months and then is !lot seellagain t:ntil the following samm~r ; \yhere the eea eless thunder ofth~ grinding ice-p,lcks make the icy air tremble day in and day ant.

The ascent of the fall10as Piete!'man Peak. the retltru to theshore. the journey home and the namillg of a point ,. Disa" \'\'ereof particular interest.

Judging by tbe attentiveness of the audience. the practice ofasking n. lecturer to read an after ..debate paper is an excellent oneand is. we are told, to be adopted at other meetings.-A.H.L.

THE \VYNBI':H,G BOYS' HIGH SCI-WOL MAGAZINE,

Rain! For three days and two nights the rain had been fall-ing. The streets weTe floodetl-· but not de£erted. Leaves andbranches of trees lay scattl'red about a strEet at the bottom of ahill at Claremont, where the rainrlrops splashed all the asphalt andthe tram lines I:O\red like rivers.

The drenching rain did !lot seem to affect the spirits of thirty-odd youths who were standing about on the pa\'ements- someodtler than others-llluffled up tightly in mackintoshes or wearinghigh boots and fishermen's hats. They all had alle commonfeature. however: they were all bearing in their \\'et hallds eitherstenographer's notebooks or scraps of }.Japer and scribbling eagerly.

It was evident that they were waiting for s011lething; for inthe pauses between an)" two efforts at writing each fixed his eyesintently on the brmv of the hill. A stranger number of lads neverstood on that Claremont ~Iope, As I halted anxiously at the spot,the first boy that r saw was scribbling wildly, but as I passed helooked up at me out of a pair of large eyes that reselllbled a pro-fessor's. He said simply, .. Tbis dosen't happen in Kimberley."

Intermission.

He watched in agonised suspense. Slo\\'ly the band of Indianscrept upon their prey. He could do nothing. He must sit thereand watch the man he had admired killed and scalped in the greatloneliness of the wild woods. He tried to scream but his mou.thwas parched and dry and no sOllnd came Three feet to his lefthis wife sat sobbing silently.

The Indians were ll~arer now. and still thei r victim wasunaware of their presence. Suddenly the leader stopped alldsigned to his braves. They parted and crept to left and right sothat tbey surrounded thei r ltnSllSpecting man.

The watcher was held spellbound. Above his head strangebeams of light flickered and brightened it. The form of themurderer's victim was touched by strange shadows. Thewatcher's wife made a sudden noise and in a hoarse whisper heordered her to be silent lest they should attract attention.

. , fn my Dentist's Chair. "

One day shortly after I had returned to ScllOOI from theholidays, I was stricken with tooth-ache. It troubleo me allthrough the night, and in the morning the ma troD sent me to thedentist.

When I arrived. tite oentist, who had b~en informed of mycoming. showed me into the room. I had been told that I was tohave gas. and it was administered immediately. I had a veryqueer dream, which \Vas probably caused by my .having started tocollect stamps. and consequently I was always thinking of them.I had also heard my falller talking about a wonderful collectionwhich only tbe owner had seen.

I dreamt that, as I was walking up the road, I saw a manloo~~ing for something_ 1went to .help him. and foulld he had I()sta stamp. I looked dO\\ïl at his feet. and there it lay. I picked itup and handed it to bill!. He thallked me and asked what rewardI shollld like. "To see your collection," I answered promptly. forI had recc'gnised the stamp as one of the co;lectiou I havemelltioned before. Ire told me he lived in all hotel a good wayoff, but if I accompanied him he would show it to me. I wentwillingly, and \Vc soon arrived at the hotel. He took me into hissitting-room. and the:J sair'l "If you will wait, I will bring itout-ouT-OUT." I wondered what he was shouting at. andthen sleepily opened my eyes, and found myself in the dentist'schair.

When r eXplained it all to the dentist, he was very~yl11pathetic, and gave me a handful of stamps as a compensation.;\ly chum was waiting oUlside, anel he too, showed much s.vmpathy,.. \'Otl wait until VOll have a gril1(l('r ta~en out, Ior yon are undergas JOlig enough then, I ha\-e heard o( a chap who~e dreamcontinned where he left off the first time," he said.

THE SMOKING CONCERT.

A 5moking concert was held in the School Hall on the eveningof February 25th. representatives of most of the Old Boy's Unionsof Peninsula Schools peing present.

A short speech of welcome was made hy the President annreplied to by Mr. Frank Reid of the Diocesan College Old Boy'sUnion. Messrs. C. Friedlander. A Lorie and J. Luyt were theartists and are to be tllanked for providing a very pleasillgentertainment.

Tbe attendance was poor compared "'ith what it has been onprevious occasions of this nature. and it is rather disheartening tothe committee to find that members do not turn up in greaternumbers on those not very frequent occasions when an evening'sentertainment is arranged for their benefit. On the other hand itwas very encouraging to meet a few Old Boys who had notpreviously interested themselves in the Union.

Jn the lnter-HoLlse Sports we tlid very well, regaining tbeHouse Clip, which \Ye had lost to De Waal sillce 1928. G. Wooleyran very well. winning the 100 yard und ~20 yanls open. In thefielel events he abo performed well, coming first ill both the longjump and shot putt, and he gained the \'ictor Ludorum. We,l!()\\"e\'er, did not gain any place in either the hurdles or higb jump.H. \-udelmun, B. van Niekerk and 1. Fine gained more points iutbe lInder 17. under 15 and under I I events respectively. In theuIlder 15 r'.!lay we came first. and in tlle open relay, second.

There was 110 inter·platoon competition this term, and thus\'an Rieueek were unable to rob Wellington oI pride of place.

We wish to congratulate all those members of Ollr house wlJo\\'(:,re successful in the Matric, JUllior Certificate alld TaalbondeXélminations, and we sympatbi::ie with those who were not.

Wellington House.The balf-year ending June 1932. has been a very favourable

one for \Vel1ington House, the" ex unitate vires" spirit amongstthe boys being the chief reason for tllese recent sucesses.

J. R. Wilkinson, A. M. Anderson and G. C. MacLeod haveagain been chosen to hold resrollsible house positiom. Aftermuch hard-work last year they aTe now seeing the fruits of theirlabours.

The fi rst success this year was obtained after much hardtraining where Wellington excelled at the Inter-House AthleticCompetition held at Tell'lands duriTlg the month of March. Thei\!cDonald Cup was lost by a narrow margin of two points, buttile Arthur' N'e1Ylllall Cup was retainecl,

A spirit of keeuuess helped greatly towards the final result lheperformances being on the whole good . .J. Dower being outstandingin the High Jump and the 120 yards Hurdles.

On the Parade ground the Hou'ie platoon, in the capablehands of LielLt. Mathewand Sergt. Anderson, more than held itsown. The'Platoon has held the first position in the last twoDrilling Competitions as well as in the Inter-Hous:! shooting.

Four of this year's prefects have been drawl! frOIll \Vellington.It is an honour for a house to hold half the l1umber of prefects inthe school. We congratulate these boys, hoping they will do tllei rduty to the best of their ability.

Last season's cricket results were not quile up to the usualstandard, although Wilkinson, our house captaill, skippered theSchool First aómirably, while both F. Askew anel E. Shaw, eventhough small in stature, can show m:\I1y the way to play cricket.They deserve congratulations.

Tbe 1931 Examination Results were as good as could beexpected, the House ta'{ing a fair l'ercentage of passes. In theJunior Certificate Wellington held lOO per cent. of First ClasspassE's. Schock especially is to be congratulated.

We hope a record will be broken this year 111 Junior Certifi-cate, Matriculation and Taalbond passes

We should like to remind tho:;e who have pessimisticforebodings to remember the House motto :--" Nil desperalldum."

The spectators were out to enjoy themselves, and the compe-titors were keen. The attendance was fairly goed. Of late, theschool has gone down ill Athletics, hut there is still promise ofsome good material among the juniors.

The hou~e system continues to ptO\'e satisfactory. It ser\'esa~ a very good !llcentive to the competitors, inspiring them to dotheir best for the Houses.

Cricket.

Review of the Season.

It \Vn.sdecided by the Schools' Committee that the Schoob'championship should be abolished and that school sides shottlcl bewithdrawn from the Province Leagues. A series of friendlymatches among the schools was arranged.

Five scho:11s enterecl the first division. l~e~iUlts of matcheswill be found at the end of this review, our only comment at tbemoment being that the allotting of only one day to each llIatchwa~ a mistake and not in the interests of gooel cricket .

Finishing last on the list after the previous years' success,\Vynberg as a match-winning combination fouIId little comfort intheir record for 1931-2. Of eight matches in the first division notone was wou, the only consolation being that the team was unfor-ttmate in not winning at least three of its matches. Cur play wasinconsistent, good batting being followed by poor bowling orfielding or vice lIel·sa. The dropping of fourteen catches in ourfirst match, at tellenbosch, was most discouragillg to the bowlers.and lack of determination of this sort often spoilt our chances.

The batting of the team was uneven, and on occasions faileddismally, notably a~ainst S A.C.S. and. tellenbosch.

Askew hael a poor season. He was handicapped by a lack ofconfidence at the wic~{ets. and a tendency to nibble at those offballs.

Tindale improved cOllsiderablr, 105!ng much of his formernervousness, and showing us a few more scoring shots. l-fe !.tas afine cover-drive, and should cultivate it to perfection, for t!.tere isno more pOI"Verfulscoring slut than this.

!taw hael a moderate season both in batting and bowling.He has lost confidence. He bowled with pluck at Bishops in theeconcl match.

The same may be said of Fine. He unfortunately had fell'opportunities to distinguish himself.

Sims was a disappointment. He never gave us what is reallyin him. He appears to play late, and this fault lost him his

wicket on occasiol~s. He must use his feet more, and also stepback further into his cre:.Lsewhen going back. The advantage ofthis needs no explallation. Another point he must learn is tbequick up-take of the bat before movillg into position for the stroke.

Pa rker was the find of the seasoll. His bowling in the secondhalf of the ~eason gave a new impetus to the attack, weakened bythe departure of Ritcllie. He bowls off breaks with enough spin tobeat the bat. His needs at present are: A complete command oflength. anel the ability to flight the bal] with cbange of pace.When he is thlls eqnipped he \vill prove a fine bowler. One thinghe lI1ust guard against: that i~ his de ire to bowl an occasional leg-break. This i not wise as is shown by th(-' fact that world famousspinners only break oue way. It is illlpossible to break both v\"aysand keep it up.

Ritchie is a good bowler. and his loss '.~·as felt. though Parkerprovetl an able substitute. We cOlóld have well dOlle with hissen·ices. He. like Parker, bm;'ls tbe off turn with effect. He hasa low action anel keeps a gope] length. He should elo v\'ell at tbegame if he persevere and t'lldea\'oIHs to improve.

Dower is a goorl hat, but diel not seem to strike his form.I.ater in the seasol1 he developed his fast bowling and was an assetin tbis direction. Eis length \\'as gooel. and on some pitches herose di~concertillgly.

Kahn did not. shine either as bowler or bat. Hc has promiseallel lIlust stick to the game and impro\'E:,ment will come.

Holll1e~ a newcomer. fiiled the position of wicketkeeper withcredit. lIis stul1lping though. was. at times. at fault. He left usat the vacation. The above remarks Illay well apply to 'l'indale.\Yho filled the breach.

Of Wiikin on it may be said that he \\'ellt no further anel wasn cOl1lparative faillll'e

The Old Boy=,' match at. Plumstead was enjoyed very much.All that we remelllber of a frienelly at Tokai is the rain whichsOJ.ked \1"; completely, and handed out coleIs to a few.

Witll no home ground to play 011 during the season, the teamwns at a disadvantage. Added to this was tbe fact that most ofthe side were newcomers to Jl rst team cricket. These facts in theirown way all contributed to the failllre of the team to win matches.1he cricket was thoroughly enjoyed. anel that is what mattersmost. No game in the wOlld can give morE' enjoyment alld plea.sure to those who play. and \\'atch it. than cricket.

Old Boys' Union.

Anl/ual General Meeting.

The Annual General Meeting was held in the School Hall onThursday, 9th ]ulfe at 8.15. There was an attendance of twentysix.

The Preside!1t opened the meeting with a sLort speech, in\\'hich, tLough he plearied guilt.y to a charge which might bebrought against him of preaching to the converted, he askedmembers to attempt to arouse more enthu iasl11 among Old Boys.On this, their second birthday, the Committee had to report afalling off iu membership from 190 to 175, a rate of decline whichwould in time extinguish the Union. The Committee had donetheir best to maintain the excellent enrolment during the firstyear of the existence of the Union; but if each member were toinduce one Boy to join, the Union could look forward with greaterconfidence to the future.

Before ending his address and foreshadowing his own retire-ment. the 'president took advantage of the occasion to congratulatetwo Old Boys on recent achievement Of theirs-L. Atlas, the jointVictor LlIdor7l1l1 of the Uni\'ersity, and B. Parrell, the CapeProvince Rhodes Scholar for 1932.

The opening address closed with warm presidential thanks forthei r support to the committee and particularly to the secretaryand treasurer.

The election of office-bearers was then proceeded with. Whellproposed, Mr. de Kock declined to accept office as President,thinking that the bonour should circulate and the Union have theopportunity of having a Presidellt with Eresh ideas and enthusiasm.If his example is followed, Mr. de Kock, may be fOtll1d to ha\"ecreated a precedent of a two-year temlof office-a -GeorgeWashington touch.

Key, although exceeJingly sorry lo have todisassociate himself frOi'll active participation in tbe afIairs of lheUnion, staled that he ",oulJ always maintain a keen interest inthe Union, and in view of the valuable >~rvices he rendered whileserving on the Committee, we have every belief in this ~tatemeJlt.It was decided by the Committee not lo fill the vacancy pendingthe General Meeting. The questioll of the Anllual Tennis Matchvs. the StalT \Vas left in the hands o£ the Treasurer, wbo undertookto raise a team and make the necessary arrangemellts. It wasdecided to hold a Smoking Concert 011February 25th. and a sub-committee was appointed to make all arrangements. It was alsoc1ecic1edto invite representatives o£ other Old Boys' 1]nions in thePeninsula, and to senel circulars to all members notifying them ofthe coming event.

The Srlloker was duly Jleld 011 the 25th February, andreference to it ~ill be found in the JUlle issue o£ the magazine,which all members will be receiving sbortly.

I now pass on to sporting events, of which the I1sual numberwere held, and as the School Magazine of December last and thatof June, which is 110\Vin print, have ample reference to them. theneed for lengthy description' does not arise. Apologies are madefor the falling through of tbe Tenllis MaLch, which \\'2S 11l1a\'oicl-ably po tponed, and will probably Le held later.

Treasurer's Report.

June 9th, 1932.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen.

It is witlI nO little pleasure that I am in a position to informyon thi· evening that another year in the life of the {lnion hascome to a satisfactory conclusion not only from a social point ofview but also from the financial outlook.

Just over a year ago at the last general meeting I stated thatwe carried forward a balance of £9,12/8. I now propose toaccount for that £9/12/8, and tbe additional £68/4/0 which haspassed through my hands since that date.

Out of this £63/-4/0. £32/13/0 represents subscriptions,including two Life Subscriptions. We received £13/0/0 by tbe saleof tickets f(Jr the Annual 1linner, and tbe remaining £22/ I I/Orepresents cash received at the Dance.

Our expenses for the year may be categorized in very muchthe same way as those of last year. Printing and Postageexpenses amount to £8/9/3. This ~um i composed of tbe amountsspent on all circulars and po tcarcls sent out to members duriugthe year; the postage on these, and also on b\'o copies of tbeSchool :\1agazine sent to members; also the stationery require-ments of the Union. Not included in the amount, however, istbe cost of printing for Dinner and Dance, as these two amountsare included in the cost of the respective entertainments which Ishall refer to in oue COlUse.

28

THE WYNBERG BOVS' HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE.

The sum of £17/4/0 has been spent 011 the School Magazine,all members having been supplied with a copy in June andDecember last.

Our Bank Charges for the year amount to 3/10. As 2/9 ofthis amount represents tht cost of a cheque book I do not imaginethat any of you gentlemen will claim that that excellent institu-tion-Messrs. Barday's Bank, D. C. & O. !tas o\'ercharged us forthe privilege of taking charge of our funds.

In October last 'we repeated our initial attempt at interestingourselves in the social side of School life by again donating aBook prize to the Best Speaker of the year, and I make so hold asto say that I do not think that 101- could have been better spent-except perhaps in training the School speakers before they nex.tattempt to indulge in verbal badinage witb those more sophistica-ted gentry-the Old Boys.

On November II tho 1931, a Wieath was laid at the SchoolMemorial Gateway on IJehalf of the Old Boys' Union-a practicewhich I hope will become an institution The sum of 30/- mn tbe attributed to this. together with another wreath sent on behalfof the Union in Novemher last on the occasion of the oemise ofMr. W. Jones, a past member of the School Staff.

The rent of our Post Office Box cost £1/5/0 and the hire of acricket field for the Annual Match. Past vs. Present cost £1/1/0.Incidentally t.his was another occasion when it was proved that theSchool Boys have a lot to learn from the Old B's.

The Annua! Dinner, which was fairly well attended, involvedan almost negligible loss-2/6, our expenses in this cOllnectionbeing £ 13/2/6 and our receipts £ 13/0/0.

It \vas a matter of gratification to the Committee that theAnnual Danct:, which last year cau~ed a loss of about £7/0/0, thistime resulted in a profit of £2/9/6. our receipts being £22/11/0 andexpenses £20/1/6.

A Smoking Concert held in the School Hall a few months agoat an expense of £ 1/ 10/4 is commented on in detail in the forth-coming isme of the School Magar.ine.

Finally Petty Expens~s for the year total 7/6. leaving us witha balance of £12/lli4. Of this amount £12/9/8 is in the Bank,andthe remainder is petty cash.

Mr. Cbairman and Gentiemen, 1 think I ha\"e mentionedeverything of importance. In conclusion I have, however, onething to remind you of. To mention it is perhaps banal, yf't notto mention it might be disastrous. Subscriptions ale now due,and may either be handed to me this evening, or posted to P.O.Bo., 5(" Wynberg. at yonr earliest convenience.
