THE ELIZABETHAN

1979 - 1980

Another academic year has finished and another Elizabethanfile has headed for the press; by the time the boys receive this newissue and begin the first and most important task of counting howmany times their names occur, we shall be deep into the 1980-1981academic year and the many and varied activities of this year willseem far away. Only when one stands back and looks at theachievements of a year is it obvious that Elizabeth College is avery busy place indeed.

The Editor is very fortunate in his colleagues: practicallyevery master has consulted with boys and presented articles forinclusion. A large debt of gratitude is owed to Mr. Roussel: allrequests for material are received with patience and theinformation supplied with celerity. Both he and the Editor rely toa great extent on the memories of boys in the Junior School whonot only recall facts and figures promptly and accurately but alsotreat advanced senility with the kindness it deserves. Thanks arealso due to Mr. Pedlar and Mr. Allen. The sports of which theyare Masters in charge — Athletics and Swimming respectively —involve a vast number of names and figures; the accuracy withwhich these are conveyed in the magazine is a great tribute tothose two gentlemen.

Finally, the Editor wishes to make a plea to all boys in theCollege that they should report their achievements to him.Remember: 'Them what don't say anything, don't get mentioned'.

MJS, 16 September, 1980.

OBITUARYMR. C. J. McCATHIE

It was with great sadness that the College heard the news of thedeath of Mr. C. J. McCathie on May 22nd, 1980. Until a few weekspreviously he had been serving his second term of office as amember of the Board of Directors of the College for whom he wasalso a member of their Building Sub-committee. Until July 1979,as OE 3891 he had been President of the Old ElizabethanAssociation. He was deeply dedicated to Elizabeth College and thefostering of its life and work.

After he had completed his war service in December 1945 withthe rank of Captain he returned to the Island and in 1949 enteredthe States of Deliberation as a People's Deputy. He subsequentlyserved a second term in this capacity which was completed inMarch of 1958. He resumed this role in 1976 and continued inoffice until very shortly before his death. As in all things he was avery vigorous States Member and served on a number ofCommittees.

Mr. McCathie was a kindly generous-hearted man who careddeeply about every aspect of his considerable involvement in thelife of the Island Community. Above all he loved his home and hisfamily and it is to Mrs. McCathie and their children that theCollege extends its heartfelt sympathy.

MRS. NANCY FALLADuring the night of November 19th-20th, 1979, Mrs. Nancy

Falla died unexpectedly at home. She had been Principal'sSecretary since her appointment by Mr. J. K. Day in 1958 until heruntimely death a little over twenty-one years later.

Her loyalty and dedication to Elizabeth College were secondonly to the devotion which she showed to her husband, Frank, andtheir children. In our loss we extend to them our condolences ontheirs.

RAW

S. R. SULLIVANOn November 27th, 1979, on his way home from a First XI

fixture, Stephen Sullivan was involved in a minor road accident anda few hours later died as a result of an extremely rare medicalcondition.

Stephen was a gifted games player and had been awarded hisColours in First XI soccer, hockey and cricket and in 1979 wasVice-Captain of both cricket and soccer.

THE ELIZABETHAN

He was popular with masters and boys, a responsible CollegePrefect and Captain of North House in his Upper Vlth year andwith nine O level passes with Grade C, or better, behind him therewas no doubt he would have achieved good grades in his A levelexaminations this year, had he survived. The College extends itsdeepest sympathy to his family and friends.

VALETHE REVEREND P. G. LANE

Peter Lane joined the Staff of Elizabeth College in September,1971, having been appointed by Mr. J. K. Day to the posts ofCollege Chaplain and Head of the Divinity Department at a timewhen there were hopes of Anglican-Methodist unity. It was a boldand imaginative appointment: Mr. Lane was a Methodist ministerin an Anglican foundation, and if at first he may have experiencedfeelings not unlike those of Daniel in the lions' den, his friendlydisposition, his tact and his determination to make this experimentin local ecumenism succeed all helped to ensure that like his biblicalpredecessor he miraculously remained undevoured.

As the years went by Mr. Lane took on more and moreteaching of modern languages, principally German, in which hedeveloped such expertise that he became an almost indispensablemember of that department. In many other ways, too, hisinvolvement with various College activities quickly becameestablished. The Choir will remember with gratitude his part inensuring the smooth running of the trips to Brittany and in forgingthe links between 'Les petits chanteurs de Guernesey' and theirFrench hosts. As a leading performer in 'Bard in the Hand', theGilbert and Sullivan operettas, and in other College musicalactivities, he brought the influence of his outgoing personality andhis sense of fun to a wider audience.

Amidst all this he still found time to be a counsellor and friendto any boy who came to him for help and advice, in addition tocarrying out the sometimes onerous duties of a House Master andMaster in charge of the Voluntary Services Unit.

We wish him happiness and fulfilment in the challenging postof Deputy Head of St. Peter Port Secondary School.

THE EASTER HOLIDAYThe Duke of Edinburgh Award Silver Expedition to Dartmoor

began on March 29th and ended on April 6th.N. J. Graham was a member of the Guernsey team which

played against Harrow Borough twice — on April 4th and 7th,losing 0-3 and 0-1 respectively.

On April 7th thirty-nine boys from the College took part in theWorld Aid Walk, raising £445.55 of the total of £6,600.

College teams played three matches in the Guernsey HockeyClub Easter Festival, defeating Clinistix 2-1, but losing to TheThatchers and The Weeds 2-3 and 0-3 respectively. The teams weredrawn from the following players: M. T. R. Betley, M. S. G.Brouard, D. K. M. Chan, E. R. Chilcott, A. R. Knight, N. E.Laine, B. Martel, B. A. Mauger, J. J. L. Morgan, S. G. Perfitt, J.R. Ravenscroft, P. G. Roussel, B. McL. Spittal, A. G. Tapp, B. J.Taylor, J. R. Toynton, T. A. Wheadon and T. R. E. Wheadon.

An eleventh hour change of plan resulted in the fifty strongCollege ski party disporting themselves at Macugnaga on the slopesof the Italian Alps and not the Dolomites as planned. The partywas led by Mr. and Mrs. Hooker, Mr. and Mrs. Bell, Mr. Higgins,Mr. Couch and Mr. Smith. We were very fortunate to have theservices of a Physiotherapist, Mike Duquemin (who received a

THE ELIZABETHAN 15

special badge for the record number of times he fell on the slopes)and two doctors, the Mowbrays. Macugnaga is 6,000ft. in altitude,but even so after two days the fast receding snows could only bereached by a further upward journey of 4,000ft. undertaken in atwo-station cable car. At this height the snow conditions were idealbut the weather varied constantly from hot brilliant sunshine todamp cold with poor visibility. Accommodation was in what atravel agent might euphemistically call "a hotel of character",epitomised, perhaps, by the W.C. in the room shared by Messrs.Couch and Higgins. In order to actually use the apparatus, one hadfirst to slide open a trap door in the sloping roof to obtain therequired degree of head room! Rooms were somewhat crampedand the proprietors not altogether delighted by our presence,although, as no one in the party was able to converse in Italian, wewere not able to establish whether this 'reserve' was directed at theBritish en masse or school parties in particular. Food was excellentand the staff pleasant and helpful. Boys achieved good standardsof ski-ing under the tuition of the Italian Ski School instructors.Ten boys reached the silver standard and thirty-two the bronze.Medals were presented by the instructors at an informal ceremonyon the last night in the hotel bar. J. T. Bell, M. T. R. Betley, J. C.Buchanan, N. J. Ash, M. S. Heyworth and J. S. Marsh skiedexceptionally well. Both journeys were accomplished withouttrauma although rather lengthy. The return journey was verypleasantly broken by a stop of a few hours in Stresa on the shoresof Lake Maggiore for a picnic lunch and last minute shoppingexpeditions before taking the return flight from Milan airport toGatwick.

THE TRINITY TERM (April 21st to July 12th)At the beginning of the Trinity term we welcomed to the Staff

HOUSE REPORTS

COUNTRY

House Master: Rev. P. G. LaneHouse Tutors:

Mr. M. S. Young (Senior School)Mr. J. M. Hudson (Middle School)Mr. W. R. Couch (Junior School)

House Captain: B. J. Taylor

As with all Houses our fortunes tend to go in phases. Therewere outstanding individual performances in various sports, butthere was generally insufficient back-up to convert these into teamvictories. Nonetheless, there was some good team spirit about.

In the Michaelmas Term the Senior soccer team lost to Town2-7; the Middle School team first defeated New 4-1, then lost toNorth 0-2; the Form II team lost to Town 0-6; and the Form I teamfirst defeated North 10-1, then lost to New 3-9.

Country supplied the winner of the Senior Cross-country: J.F. Dorey again ran from behind at a very constant pace to finishfirst, while B. J. Taylor came fourth. The team results were not sogood, being 6th in the Under 17 and 5th in the Senior and Under 15races. However, the Junior team was 3rd, with J. G. C. Lampitt infourth place.

In the Inter House hockey championships the Senior team beatHouse 4-3, but lost to New 1-3, while the Middle School team beatSouth 2-1 and New 4-2, only to lose 2-3 to North in the Final.

THE ELIZABETHAN 23

In the team events our most outstanding achievement was thatour run of successes in the Senior Athletics Sports continued foranother year. But what a cliff-hanger it turned out to be! B. McL.Spittal won the 100m Hurdles, the Discus and the Javelin in spite ofan injury, while B. J. Taylor established new records for the 200mand 400m and also won the 100m. With everything thereforedepending on the outcome of the Relay, it was essential thatwhatever happened we should finish before the Town team: in fact,our relay team of P. J. de Garis, J. R. Rowe, B. McL. Spittal andB. J. Taylor exceeded our wildest dreams by winning the raceoutright, and thus we retained the trophy! B. J. Taylor, ourCaptain, was second in the Individual Championship: heproceeded to the Avon County Championships where he won boththe 100m and 200m and so qualified again for the British SchoolsChampionship. Success in athletics was also evident in the JuniorSchool. In Form II B. H. B. Jackson won the High Jump andTriple Jump, while E. A. Mclnnes won the 100m, 200m, 75mHurdles and Shot, thus finishing second in the IndividualChampionship; the Form II team also won the relay. In Form IJ. A. Ephgrave won the Shot.

Our very young tennis team did well to defeat the moreexperienced opposition of South 2-1, but lost to House 1-2.

Individual achievement was also the order of the day in theInter House swimming competitions. In the Senior section A. N.Macmillen won the 50m Freestyle. B. G. J. G. Dawes, who won the50m Freestyle, became the Form IV Individual Champion; theCountry team also won the Freestyle Relay in this section. In FormIII T. Jolliffe-Bran won the Diving, while N. Broekhuizen wasIndividual Champion, having set new records for the 25m Butterflyand Individual Medley and won the 50m Freestyle as well. In FormII M. C. Coffell set a new record for the 50m Backstroke and wasthird in the Individual Championship. In Form I E. P. Cockett seta new record for the 50m Breaststroke and was second in theIndividual Championship, while L. N. Broekhuizen was equalthird. These swimmers also did well in the Castle Race. N. Broek-huizen was 1st in the Under 16 section, while Country won theUnder 14 section, the winning combination being E. P. Cockett(1st), M. C. Coffell (2nd), L. N. Broekhuizen (4th) and T. A.Dawson (21st); indeed, E. P. Cockett from Form I finished first infront of all other age groups. If one gazes into the crystal ball forthe future, it would appear that swimming will be the sport atwhich we are likely to excel in the near future.

A. P. Falla was awarded the Boucher Cup for the Best N.C.O.in the C.C.F., while C. G. Degnen received the Vaughan Cup forthe highest average in .22 Shooting competitions and a gold medal

24 THE ELIZABETHAN

for his part in winning the Staniforth Challenge Trophy; he alsorepresented the College at Bisley.

R. A. Oakley won the Middle School section of the SpokenEnglish Competition, and P. B. Saunders won the Junior ChessCompetition.

The year ended with D. R. B. Clark, J. D. Lane and B. McL.Spittal being appointed Prefects and with the discovery that moreCommendations and less punishments had been awarded to boys inCountry than in recent years.

In conclusion, sincere thanks are offered to all who havecontributed to Country's activities and have helped to foster a finespirit within the House. We wish all who are leaving, as well as allpast members, every success in their future careers.

HOUSE

House Master: Mr. A. R. CrossHouse Tutors:

Mr. M. J. Smith (Form V)Mr. D. Newick (Middle School)

Mr. N. F. G. Moss (Junior School)to the end of the Michaelmas TermMr. P. A. Davies (Junior School)from the start of the Trinity Term

G. A. Hunt and A. R. Parker were appointed Captain andVice-Captain respectively this year and are to be congratulated forthe reliability and resourcefulness which they displayed in thesepositions.

House has always had to make up in enthusiasm what theyhave lacked in numbers in sports competitions, and this year, withnumbers temporarily whittled down below fifty-five, has been noexception.

In Soccer and Hockey both Seniors and Middle School foundthemselves knocked out in opening or early stages of competition,although the Middle School in particular, with stalwarts such asJoel Carre, Francois Jean, Simon Taylor and Ian Watkins,displayed considerable verve and spirit in their encounters.

In the Cross-Country there was keen running by individuals,but not enough stamina in depth to achieve higher placing than the2nd managed by the Under 15s.

In the Athletics Sports again our lack of numbers and, it mustbe admitted, skills, resulted in low positions for all except the

THE ELIZABETHAN 25

Under 17s who managed 3rd place. Gary Hunt and Ashley Parkerare to be congratulated on achieving places in the Hutchence CupTeam, however, and so is John Buchanan, who won the Under 17Javelin, and then tied with Shaun Lacey in the eliminatingcompetition for a place in the Hutchence Cup Team, and waspassed over only on grounds of juniority.

The Swimming competitions improved House's sporting self-esteem for the year with a splendid win by the Under 17s. StevenParkinson was 2nd and John Buchanan 3rd in the IndividualChampionship, and both these swimmers represented the Collegeon tour in England. Gary Hunt was 4th in the Senior IndividualChampionship, and thus helped House into 3rd place in the InterHouse Competition.

In Shooting House excelled this year by winning the InterHouse Competition with a one point margin over New House. Theteam consisted of Gary Hunt, Steven Parkinson and MarkWoodall, and it is worth saying that House has won this award onlyonce before in 1977. Gary Hunt was Captain of the CollegeShooting VIII which won the Staniforth Cup and himself receivedthe McCrea Medal for services to shooting. Steven Parkinson wasalso a member of the successful College Shooting VIII.

The Cricket season showed that although we had individuallytalented players we did not, once again, have the strength in depthrequired to win this type of team game competition, and we bowedout to Country. Simon Bennett and Tom Wheadon playedregularly for the Second XI and for the First XI when required,Tom adding this distinction to his regular place in the Hockey FirstXI, a very good achievement for a Fifth Former.

We reached the Final of the House Tennis Competition, ledably by Hugh Macmillen and Steven Parkinson, but, despite goodindividual efforts, could not clinch all the matches we needed to inorder to beat our old rivals, South.

Finally on the Sports side we proved that, despite the time-honoured cliche of Leavers' Dinner speeches, House spirit mightstill be what it used to be, by winning both the Senior and Under 17sections of the Castle Race. Boarders have obviously not yetbecome completely degenerate!

In conclusion, a warm welcome to Mr. and Mrs. John Pedlar,who take over the running of School House in September 1980.May they and their family be very happy in their new post, and theBoarding House flourish, as it prepares for the evacuation to newpremises in Kings Road.

In January 1949 the younger boarders of School House movedto Queens Road to live in a splendid house called Beechwood. Thenumber of boarders living at the Upper College was increasingrapidly, and this move was an appropriate solution. In September1980 they return to live once again with their Upper Schoolcolleagues until the new Boarding House, being constructed inKings Road, is ready for occupation.

Many Old Elizabethans have happy memories of living atBeechwood under the care of Mr. and Mrs. F. Waddams, Mr. andMrs. V. G. Collenette, Mr. and Mrs. A. Middleton and Mr. andMrs. J. R. Pedlar. Those boys presently attending the LowerSchool are looking forward to the move with a mixture of awe andexcitement, tinged with a little apprehension. They are also going tomiss the presence and kindly influence of Mrs. M. Cave (Mavis).After serving the Lower School Boarding House for eighteen yearsshe retired in July 1980. As a token of our real affection for her shewas given a retirement present from us all on the last day of term byour youngest boarder, Matthew Wood.

House Master: Mr. K. FletcherHouse Tutors:

Mr. R. Mauger (Middle School)Mr. R. A. Hamilton (Junior School)

House Captain: N. J. Graham

This has been another busy and pleasing year for the Houseand, although we had only six boys in the Upper Sixth this year, theSenior soccer, hockey and cricket XIs all reached the finals of thevarious competitions, and we achieved major success in swimmingand shooting. There has been the usual good and cheerful Housespirit, a willingness to support and to join in College activities, andacademic effort has also been well up to standard.

The Senior soccer team, under their Captain N. J. Graham,having defeated House 7-2 and South 3-1, lost to North in a closeand exciting final: the New House team thought that they were "abit unlucky" to lose. The main goal scorers were I. J. Falla and N.J. Graham. The Middle School team defeated South 5-2, but lost1-4 to Country in the semi-final; their Captain was M. H. de Garisand the main goal scorer P. M. Tostevin. In the Form IIcompetition the New team, having defeated House 16-0, lost 2-7 to

THE ELIZABETHAN 27

South in the semi-final, while the Form I team defeated South 20-1and Country 9-3 to win their competition.

In the Senior Cross-country we finished third, which is aconsiderable improvement on previous years and a reflection of thehard work put in by G. P. King who, in a most exciting and wellfought finish, was just beaten into second place; N. J. Graham wasalso in the first ten runners, coming fifth. In the Under 17 race wewere placed fifth, but within the first ten runners were P. E.Freeman (3rd), I. J. Falla (4th) and B. A. Mauger (6th). In theUnder 15 race we were sixth and in the Junior competition we camefourth, with S. M. Roussel (7th) and M. R. Blackwell (9th) in thetop ten runners.

The Senior hockey XI, captained by N. J. Graham, beatCountry 3-1 in the semi-final, but lost 1-2 to North in an excitingfinal. The Middle School team lost 1-2 to Country, but the Juniorswon their competition.

In Athletics the Captain, G. P. King, came first in the 1500mof the Senior section. New also won the Junior School competition:in Form II J. D. Turian won the Discus, the Javelin and the LongJump, finishing Individual Champion of that year, while in Form IG. Bradshaw won the Discus and the Javelin.

The Tennis team defeated Town 2-1 but lost 0-3 to North inthe semi-final.

The Senior cricket team beat Country in the semi-final, butlost to Town in the final. Town batted first and knocked up a goodbut not unassailable score. However, our batting suffered a severecollapse after A. G. Tapp was run out following a misunderstand-ing, and even the valiant efforts of the Captain, C. J. Guilbert,were not enough to save the match.

Our swimming efforts have been most pleasing this year. Inthe Swimarathon M. S. G. Brouard captained a team which raised£35.32, the other members of the team being N. M. de Garis, M. A.Garner, T. C. E. Joyce, M. E. R. Le Page, T. C. B. Roussel and L.S. Trott. We won the Senior competition. Our Captain, M. P.Aslett, set a new record in the 100m Breaststroke and won the 200mFreestyle also; he was second in the Individual Championship,while N. M. de Garis was third. The relay team — M. P. Aslett, N.M. de Garis, C. J. Guilbert and S. P. Martel — won both theFreestyle and Medley relays. We also won the Form IV competi-tion: P. A. Fairclough won the 25m Butterfly, D. W. Le Feuvrewon the Individual Medley and N. J. Vine won the Diving, whileM. H. de Garis and P. A. Fairclough were second and thirdrespectively in the Individual Championship. In the Senior sectionof the Castle Race M. P. Aslett came second. Senior SwimmingColours were awarded to N. M. de Garis.

28 THE ELIZABETHAN

There is a tradition in the House of success in shooting and thisyear was no exception. We won the .22 competition and wererunners-up in the .303 competition, the team being N. R. Jee, S. P.Martel and the Captain, M. J. Guille, who has been selected for theGuernsey team in the European/Commonwealth ShootingChampionship in September. All three members of the team,together with M. P. Falla and L. S. Trott, represented the Collegeat Bisley. Moreover, R. J. Banfield won the Brock Cup for RecruitShooting, and gold medals were presented to M. J. Guille, N. R.Jee, S. P. Martel and L. S. Trott for their part in the winning of theStaniforth Challenge Trophy.

Towards the end of the year A. R. Guilbert, C. J. Guilbert, M.I. Guille, M. J. Guille, G. P. King and D. P. Ridge were appointedPrefects.

As always it has been our aim to play well whether we win orlose; at the same time it is exciting to notice that the large majorityof participants in our teams this year have been Lower Sixth orFifth Form members of the House, which certainly augurs well fornext year! We wish all who are leaving us or who have left everysuccess in their future careers and thank the many members of theHouse who, though perhaps not mentioned here, have neverthelesscontributed to make this another satisfactory year.

Mr. J. A. S. Cobbett (Middle School)Mr. G. Guilbert (Junior School)

House Captain: S. R. Sullivan and A. R. Knight

This has been an extremely successful year for the House,although the success was marred by the untimely death of theHouse Captain, S. R. Sullivan. Stephen had established himself asan extremely popular and very capable leader and his death was ablow to both boys and masters: we extend our sympathy to hisparents.

M. R. Thompson was appointed Senior Prefect and A. R.Knight was appointed as successor to S. R. Sullivan.

S. R. Sullivan captained the soccer side which, having beatenTown 10-0, defeated New 5-3 in a very exciting final. He was wellsupported by the whole team in which A. R. Knight, N. E. Laineand M. R. Thompson were outstanding. The Middle School soccer

THE ELIZABETHAN 29

team also won their competition, defeating Town 6-3, thenCountry 2-0, R. J. P. Williams leading the side to a very good win.The results in the Junior School were not so good — the Form IIteam losing 2-3 to Town, the Form I team losing 1-10 to Country.

The Seniors won the Cross-country with an excellent teamperformance from M. Ferbrache (6th), S. C. Toynton (7th), M. R.Thompson (9th), A. P. Bott (10th), A. R. Knight (llth) and K. P.Robert (18th). The Under 17s were third: J. S. Marsh is to becongratulated on his outstanding win and new record, while M. P.Leadbeater (5th) and R. J. P. Williams (10th) were also in the topten runners. The Under 15 team were fourth, and the Juniors werefifth, although S. R. Bougourd was placed 8th.

The Senior hockey team, captained by S. C. Toynton, wontheir Championship, beating South 2-1 and New 2-1 in a surpris-ingly close game. N. E. Laine was outstanding in defence, while A.R. Knight was always dangerous in attack. The Middle School alsowon their hockey competition, defeating Town 4-2 and Country3-2, J. R. Toynton being our goal scorer, well supported by R. J. P.Williams in defence.

The Seniors did well to finish third in the Athletics: S. C.Toynton won the 800m and was third in the Individual Champion-ship. In the Under 17 Athletics B. J. N. Dempster won the 100mHurdles and was third in the Individual Championship, while J. S.Marsh won the 1500m. Both B. J. N. Dempster and S. C. Toyntonwere selected for the Hutchence Cup squad.

The Seniors were second in the Swimming Sports, mainly dueto the efforts of A. P. Bott, the School Swimming Captain: he setnew records for the 50m Butterfly and the Individual Medley andalso won the 100m Freestyle and 100m Backstroke, thus finishingIndividual Champion. Our other age groups were lacking inswimmers, although in Form II T. J. Lowe won the Diving and wasthird in the Individual Championship. A. P. Bott won the Seniorsection of the Castle Race, C. J. Thoumine, our only otherrepresentative coming third in that age group. In the Under 14section T. J. Lowe was third.

In the Tennis the Seniors were victorious, the team consistingof K. P. Robert (Captain), K. D. Boscher, G. J. Hart, M. P. Lead-beater, D. J. Mechem and M. P. Tolcher: they defeated New 3-0,then House 3-0. M. P. Tolcher won the College Singles Champion-ship, was runner-up in the Guernsey Under 19 Singles and Doublestournaments and was selected for the Island Junior Tennis team.

At cricket the Seniors lost in the semi-final to Town in a highscoring game, having been favourites to reach the final. The fourthyear also failed to reach the final and it was left to the third year

30 THE ELIZABETHAN

team to win their final with fine performances from N. R. Mechem(Captain), P. J. Clements and C. A. Warlow.

P. J. Tanguy was a member of the team which represented theCollege at Bisley.

The House was well represented in the production of 'ThePirates of Penzance', S. C. Toynton playing the part of the PirateLieutenant, Samuel.

Academically the House has also been very successful. M. R.Thompson, who was Scholar of the Year, gained a King Charles IScholarship at Jesus College, Oxford. At the Senior Prizegivingtwenty-four boys from the House gained a total of thirty-threeprizes — an outstanding achievement.

Towards the end of the academic year A. P. Bott, S. G. Foote,N. E. Laine and S. C. Toynton were appointed Prefects.

A very successful year, gained in part by the ability,enthusiasm and participation of the senior members of the House,many of whom are leaving. I wish them every success andhappiness for the future.

House Master: Mr. R. H. SurcombeHouse Tutors:

Mr. C. N. Claxton (Middle School)Mr. B. W. Allen (Junior School)

House Captain: D. N. Stephenson

At the beginning of the year D. N. Stephenson was appointedHouse Captain and J. M. Madeley Vice-Captain; J. M. Madeleywas also Deputy Senior Prefect. This year we hoped for a littlemore success on the sports field than the previous rather bleakyears had provided, but, unfortunately, this optimism proved to beill-founded. Once again we showed that we have several fineindividual performers, but not enough in-depth strength to backthem up in the team events.

On the football field our Juniors fared rather better than therest of us. The Second Years won their competition by beating New7-2 and Town 4-1, while the First Years had what one might call'mixed fortunes', beating Town 8-0 but then lapsing inconcentration slightly in the next match, which they lost 1-20 toNew! Congratulations are due to the anonymous hero who actuallymanaged to get the ball in the back of New's net. Both the Middleand Senior School teams also lost to New, the former 2-5 and the

THE ELIZABETHAN 31

latter 1-3, although this match was in fact a very close affair againsta side on paper far superior to ours.

In the Cross-Country we came 4th in the Senior race, 4th in theUnder 17 (J-P. Bisson finishing second), 3rd in the Under 15 (P. E.de Jersey finishing seventh) and 2nd in the Junior (S. P. Lynch, R.W. Gregson and N. R. Downie finishing second, third and sixthrespectively).

The Hockey competition saw the Seniors beating Town 2-1 infine style, but losing the next match to North 1-3, while the MiddleSchool went down 1-2 to Country in their first match. D. K. M.Chan and I. M. Round played for the First XI during the seasonand were both awarded Colours.

Some excellent individual performances came in the AthleticsSports. In the Under 17 section D. J. Clark won the High Jump. Inthe Under 15 S. M. Attwell won the 100m, 200m, 80m Hurdles,Javelin, Long Jump and Triple Jump and came second in theIndividual Championship. In the Junior events R. Mella won the1500m and R. M. Wegerer won the 100m, 200m and High Jump,coming third in the Individual Championship.

We were drawn against a very strong Town side in the SeniorCricket competition, but, despite their superiority on paper, wecame very close to beating them and probably would have donewith a little more consistency in the batting. Only D. K. M. Chan(26) and D. N. Stephenson (16) managed to reach double figures,but, batting second, our last wicket fell only ten runs short ofvictory. Chan, in fact, was the star of the show, having bowledbrilliantly to take eight wickets for 34.

We did not reach the Final of the Tennis, losing 1-2 toCountry, but congratulations to D. K. M. Chan who was Captainof the School Tennis VI and a member of the Island Under 19Tennis team, and to D. N. Stephenson who was also in the TennisVI and reached the Final of the Singles Competition. Both wereawarded Colours for their performance in the match against Vic-toria College.

A. D. Laws won the 200m Freestyle in the Under 17 section,while J. R. Carey, G. A. Gavey and H. A. Wegerer shot for theCollege at Bisley. G. A. Gavey also received a gold medal for hispart in the Staniforth Challenge Trophy.

In the C.C.F. P. C. Laine won the Brice Cup for the SmartestRecruit and H. A. Wegerer won the Le Tissier Memorial Cup forthe Best Cadet.

On June 16th T. P. Fulwell and G. A. Gavey were appointedPrefects.

The Prefects this year managed to find a little more to say forthemselves than last year's rather reticent bunch, although it was

32 THE ELIZABETHAN

noticeable that D. K. M. Chan became remarkably less vociferouswhen his promotion to Prefect halfway through the year allowedhim the privilege of being able to stand up at the front instead oflounging at the back.

It only remains to wish everyone in the House all the best forthe future.

House Captain: M. G. Nelson

Captain of Town House, Mike Nelson, ably assisted by hisdeputy, John Falla, and fellow College Prefects Brian Martel,Shaun Lacey and Stephen Hancock, led members of the Housethrough an eventful and often successful year. Toby Wheadon wasappointed Prefect at the start of the year with Mark Pithersachieving this distinction some time later.

On the academic front few of the House Upper Sixth Formersplanned to further their studies on the mainland at this stage. Ingeneral, members of Form V looked well set to achieve worthwhilesuccess in the G.C.E. O Level examinations. In addition, numerousCommendation Slips were gained by members of Forms I to V formaximum effort in Assessments or for producing particularly out-standing pieces of work.

After a relatively quiet period during the Michaelmas Term,Town House sportsmen exploded into action in the Lent andTrinity Terms. Inter House Championships were won by TownHouse teams in Under 17, Under 15 and Junior Cross-Country,Under 17 and Under 15 Athletics, Senior and Form IV Cricket andForm III and Junior Swimming. House teams also put up out-standing performances, though not victories, in Middle SchoolHockey, Senior Cross-Country and Senior and Junior Athletics.Once again there were many excellent individual performances byHouse members both in Inter House competitions and for Collegeteams in all age groups and in every sport. Brian Martel became theSenior Athletics Champion and won all three events in which hecompeted in the Hutchence Cup match; Peter Atkinson proved tobe the most improved athlete in the College and, with two years ofhis school career still to go, he should be breaking a few Senior

THE ELIZABETHAN 33

records soon; John Ravenscroft 'starred' for the First XI Soccer,Hockey and Cricket teams and won the Under 17 AthleticsIndividual Championship; John Wright collected the IndividualSwimming Trophy in the 16 Years group; Jeremy Mattinsonbowled and batted superbly as he led our Form IV Cricket team tovictory; Michael Riddiford continued to dominate Island fencingcompetitions in his age groups; Michael Betley, the supremeall-rounder, won Individual Championships in Cross-Country,Athletics and Swimming and demonstrated excellent skills inJunior Colts Hockey; Christopher Cox showed that he will be aSoccer and Cricket star of the future; and Eric Lang showed theopposition a clean pair of heels in both Inter House and InterSchool Junior Cross-Country events, while his younger brother,Brent, left all opponents floundering in Junior Swimming.

Town House members also played their part in non-sportingactivities. For the College production of 'The Pirates of Penzance'Toby Wheadon and Tom Webber sang and acted in the Chorus,Osmond Plummer played in the Orchestra, and Ian Gee assistedwith the stage lighting; John Levick stage managed the localG.A.D.O.C. Easter production; Stephen Langford gained theQueen's Badge, the top award in the Boys' Brigade; and StephenHancock, Stewart Hamilton and Richard Le Brun representedGuernsey in the Inter Insular and National Youth Club Quiz Com-petitions.

It only remains to thank all members of the House, whethermentioned personally in this report or not, who brought credit toTown House by their contribution to College and Guernseyactivities and to wish all those Town House students who leftCollege at the end of the school year every success and happiness inthe future.

SENIOR SPEECH DAY

The Senior Speech Day was held in the College Hall on May23rd. After the staff and members of the Board of Directors hadprocessed into the Hall, accompanied by the singing of theCarmen, the Dean welcomed everyone present, especially Mr. I. D.S. Beer, M.A., J.P., who had kindly consented to present theprizes.

THE ELIZABETHAN 43

THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

In his annual report the Principal first welcomed all the guests.He referred to the appointments of Mrs. L. N. Vernieux, Mr. R. A.Hamilton, Mr. N. F. G. Moss and Mr. D. Newick and thenreviewed the work of the College during the academic year. Hespoke of the College's purpose against the background of thecontemporary world:

"For some years, while the super-powers have been in acondition of tenuous detente, the under-privileged millions of theThird World have struggled for a place at the conference table.There they find themselves competing with representatives of thesophisticated styles and economics of the wealthy nations.

"The frustrations and tensions ensuing from these economicand racial differences have shown themselves in widespread out-breaks of vandalism, civil disobedience and political extremism,sometimes causing governments to be held to ransom by acts ofterrorism.

"Simultaneously, there has been turbulence within thestructure of Western society. Its hierarchical systems have beenstood on their heads. Leaders have been discredited (as in theWatergate matter) and it has become fashionable to knock theEstablishment.

"Public figures have been implicated in shady deals, as in thePoulson affair; cases of alleged police brutality have been head-lined (Blair Peach) and Operation Countryman was investigatingallegations of police corruption.

"World-wide inflation has produced confrontations betweenemployees needing more money from employers struggling not toredirect capital for modernisation to pay the wages bill. The resulthas been industrial action, massive hurt to workers, order booksand the national economy.

"Trust, that priceless element, has been eroded in the heartsand minds of ordinary people.

"For a long time now concepts portrayed by slogans like'British is best' and 'An Englishman's word is his bond' haveceased to be true, much to one's shame.

"However, the wheel is turning and the community is lookingto the Establishment for honest leadership. How good it was tohear it said by Mrs. Thatcher of the work of the SAS in relievingthe hostages at the Iranian Embassy in London: 'It made all of us,on both sides of the House, proud to be British'.

"The anonymous courage and selfless dedication of those menshould be a lesson to us all.

"My topic this year is, therefore, leadership. Of this qualityField Marshal Lord Slim, addressing cadets at the Royal Military

44 THE ELIZABETHAN

Academy, Sandhurst, had this to say: 'Leadership is thatcombination of example, persuasion and compulsion that makesmen do what you want them to do'.

"In May, 1979, I was a guest of the Commando TrainingCentre Royal Marines at Lympstone, five miles south of Exeter, towitness the young officers' courses which operate there. I wasdeeply impressed by the level-headed style displayed by the youngofficers under training. Their conduct, at all times punctiliouslycorrect and exemplary, was bereft of all flashiness.

"If, in Northern Ireland, I was to find myself in the care ofone of these gentlemen I would be entirely confident of his abilityto look after my safety.

"It occurred to me to wonder by what means nowadays youngofficers receive their training in leadership. This topic was naturallya particular concern of their training officer, Major DuncanChristie-Miller.

"As a result of our meeting Major Christie-Miller offered tobring a team consisting of himself, two officers and a seniorwarrant officer to run a leadership course at Elizabeth Collegeduring the weekend of October 6 and 7. Twenty-seven members ofthe College Upper Sixth participated with interest and obtainedbenefit from this experience.

"As at most schools, we also provide an opportunity forsenior boys at their flowering, as they complete their final year, totake responsibility as prefects, drawn from among their colleagues.

"This year prefects have been more widely deployed to specificresponsibilities in a wide variety of activities, following therecommendations of the 1979 Upper Sixth.

"While this has been successful I see it as only a start. There isa need for these senior boys to take more initiative in novelsituations when it may be that no master is present.

"Knowing of Major Christie-Miller's plans to mount thisleadership training for us in October of 1979 I was amused andencouraged to find that one of the items on the agenda of our HMCat Cambridge the previous month was entitled Education forResponsibility.

"This was presented by the headmaster of Malvern College,Mr. M. J. W. Rogers, who introduced Dr. John Adair as his primespeaker.

"Dr. Adair spoke about what he called action-centredleadership and indicated its application in all sorts of fields civilianand military. I was glad to find Elizabeth College appeared in thevan with Malvern, as far as public schools are concerned, in theirpursuit of specific leadership training.

THE ELIZABETHAN 45

"It is my conviction that boys who have the benefit ofeducation at schools like Elizabeth College carry a burden ofresponsibility to their neighbours in life because of the high level oftheir intelligence and the training which has been available to themat school.

"Elizabeth College pupils are drawn from all parts of societyand it is my hope that this quasi-cosmopolitan attribute, coupledwith the advantage mentioned above, will mean that there willcontinue to flow from this school, boys who are conversant withthe Christian ethic and who practise the disciplines of self-denialand self-improvement, both for the benefit of others, and who willtherefore set out to make the world a better place to live in. Theseyoung men are the leaders of tomorrow.

"It is important that boys should be proud of their school andfor all the best reasons: because the standards are high, because itsmembers strive honourably and because they achieve success bothat school and subsequently".

Before concluding his speech the Principal outlined some ofthe plans for the College following the building of the newboarding house.

C. J. GUILBERT: He established himself as a reliable and forcefulopening bat, being very strong off the front foot on the off side.Late in the season he bowled slow medium, and his 4 for 12 in thehome match against Victoria was a major factor in our victory. AsCaptain, he organised the side well but needs to look at situationsin a calmer, more detached manner. A safe catcher both close tothe wicket and in the deep. He was awarded the Royal Irish Cupand the bat presented by Lt.-Col. H. W. Poat, both for First XIbatting.

D. J. MECHEM: The Vice-Captain. He has developed into anexcellent all rounder with a very good knowledge of the game. A

THE ELIZABETHAN 59

reliable bat who takes few chances early in his innings but iscapable of playing a wide range of shots. A steady medium pacedbowler who moved the ball both in the air and off the pitch. InJersey his patient 24 runs and his fine bowling 5 for 15 in 16 overswere match winning performances. He was awarded the Davy Cupand a bat presented by Millfield School for his highest aggregate inthe Jersey matches.

J. R. RAVENSCROFT: He has bowled effectively with goodvariation of pace moving the ball in the air and off the pitch. 7 for52 in the game against Hampton School was his best performance.An exciting bat he has never really fulfilled his potential althoughhis innings against the M.C.C. and Victoria at home were pleasingto watch. He was awarded the Howick Cup for the Best AllRounder.

A. G. TAPP: Slow left arm orthodox spinner who has shownaccuracy, control and maturity in his bowling this year. He hasbeen very successful although the slow low bounce of the wickethas not favoured his style of bowling. A good close catcher and acapable bat who should score runs in future years. He was awardedDr. Robinson's belt for bowling.

S. C. TOYNTON: He established himself as an opening bat. Hewatches the ball closely and has a sound defence and, though notan attractive bat, has scored runs regularly. He needs to be morepatient when playing slower bowler. Quick over the ground in theoutfield, he has worked hard and improved his throwing andcatching.

P. G. ROUSSEL: A forceful middle order bat, very strong on thefront foot, a lovely striker of the ball. He has regularly madetwenties but the tendency to play across once he is settled in hasbeen his downfall. He has the potential to develop into a very goodbat. He also bowled medium pace inswing.

S. R. LANGFORD: A hard hitter of the ball who has had aweakness on his legstump which he has worked hard to overcomebut with little success. Not a natural fielder, he has improved hisclose catching during the season.

B. A. MAUGER: A very correct bat, sound in defence but lackingthe confidence to hit the ball hard at present. A patient 16 not outin Jersey, batting low in the order, secured our victory. Still withtwo years to go in the First XI he must develop into one of thestronger bats and I expect him to score more runs in 1981. Anexcellent close catcher. He has had little opportunity to bowl thisyear but has the potential to be an all rounder.

60 THE ELIZABETHAN

N. W. HELTON: The Wicket Keeper. Not a natural behind thestumps, he has worked hard at improving his style and has beenvery reliable. A very safe batsman when defending, his 12 not outagainst Victoria was an example of good temperament. He canscore quickly although he tends to hit across when doing so.

N. E. LAINE: Left hand bat, very strong through the off side,capable with more confidence of becoming a good bat. Anoutstanding fielder whose pace and throwing have saved manyruns. A reliable catcher, he has held some outstanding catches. Acapable bowler who, if he can get his arm higher and pitch the ballup at the start of the spell, will be very useful next season.

B. McL. SPITTAL: A right arm fast bowler, he has been muchmore accurate this season and has taken some useful wickets. Heshould be a key First XI player next year. A strong if not alwaysaccurate thrower.

C. D. WALDRON: A good fielder, quick, with safe hands and apowerful throw, he had few opportunities to bat before injuryinterrupted his season.

A. R. KNIGHT, B. J. TAYLOR and T. R. E. WHEADON playedoccasionally for the First XI.

Our thanks to David Ridge for his scoring, to Mrs. Wheadonand Mrs. Roussel and the ladies for preparing lunches and teas. Iwould also like to thank our regular supporters for their attendanceand those who assisted with the umpiring.

Although the Second XI struggled somewhat against the clubsides, they played exceptionally well in both matches againstVictoria. In the first match against the latter, played at CollegeField, the visiting team hung on to a draw despite some finebowling by Ian Falla and Neil Laine. Toby Wheadon played a fineattacking innings of 34 and he was very ably supported by SimonBennett, who played very straight. The return match againstVictoria in Jersey proved to be an excellent game of cricket. Battingfirst on a dry, fast wicket, the Second XI scored 194 runs againstthe useful attack of two of Victoria's bowlers. Simon Bennett andTom Wheadon put on a fine partnership of 48 after the cheapdismissals of the opening pair, Mark Pithers and DavidStephenson. Toby Wheadon, batting at five, hit the ball to all partsof the ground. His score of 40 included 9 fours. David Chan, 21runs, and Ian Falla, 23 runs, rounded off a fine innings. Victoriabatted steadily and one of their team played a sound 43 runs; itlooked as if the match was going to be a draw. However, someexcellent bowling by Ian Falla, who took 5 for 35, managed toclinch victory with only four overs remaining.

Apart from the Victoria matches, the side, on occasions, didnot really play to their full potential. Kevin Boscher captained theside imaginatively, but some poor fielding performances cost theside many runs.

It was by the narrowest of margins — merely two points —that the Third XI failed to gain promotion to Division Two of theEvening League. The team played very well indeed throughout theseason, only losing four out of sixteen fixtures. Mr. Davies andNeil Belton formed the opening partnership and usually gave theside a good start. Their hard hitting and excellent running betweenthe wickets was a pleasure to watch. Chris Guilbert made a slowstart to the season, but gradually started to make some usefulscores in the last few games. David Chan's lively quick bowlingcaused the opposition some problems and many batsmen werebeaten by his pace. Chris Guilbert bowled accurately and it was noteasy to score off him. Apart from a few lapses, the team fieldedwell and Mark Pithers, in the covers, prevented many singles frombeing taken. Everyone in the eighteen strong squad played somepart in making it a successful and enjoyable season.

B. McL. Spittal from the College Fourths played three gamesand looks a very good prospect for next season.

FOURTH XI

In terms of results this was again a disappointing season withonly one win in twelve matches, even though this win was againstthe eventual champions, St. Pierre. However, in none of thematches was the team disgraced and in most cases the margin ofvictory was only a few runs or one or two overs. Sadly many ofthese games could have been won by similar margins if our fieldinghad been better — catches were dropped, ground fielding wassloppy and throwing poor. We were again very pleased that

THE ELIZABETHAN 63

Brigadier White played for us; he took a large number of wicketsand made most of the runs. There were some good knocks fromJulian Davidson and Jeremy Mattinson bowled extremely wellthroughout the season. Altogether twenty boys played during theseason, many of whom would not have otherwise been able to playrepresentative cricket for the College — and that is what CollegeFourths is about.

Though perhaps not a side packed with outstanding individ-uals, this was a good solid side. The emphasis was placed firmly onteam work and team spirit. The Senior Colts had an excellent startto the season, crushing some rather mediocre opposition.

Probably the strength of the side lay in its bowlers, particularlyJ. C. Mattinson, who was awarded the Bat presented by Mr. G. LeG. Peek for Colts Batting, and R. G. Gipp, who was awarded theTravers Cup for the Most Promising Colt. It was ironic that againstVictoria College, after a tremendous batting display, the bowlersperformed so indifferently. Mattinson's innings of 77 againstVictoria was undoubtedly the high point of the season; in it hedisplayed awesome powers of concentration, a great deal ofmaturity, and not a little technique.

M. P. Read, the Captain, always looked the best batsman inthe side, but failed to produce major scores. C. M. Aylward, T. M.Le Cras and S. J. C. Webley all showed the potential to becomemore than useful performers.

As a team the Colts were pleasant and well behaved; it was apleasure to be involved with them.

Once again the absence of net wickets, few fixtures and somepoor wickets for practice matches made this a rather disappointingseason. The weather also led to the loss of several games in themiddle of the season.

In spite of this a Junior Colts XI of some promise began toemerge under the knowledgeable captaincy of Neil Mechem. Therewas some aggressive, confident and stylish batting from IanWatkins and from the Captain himself with very good supportfrom Tim Helton and Charles Warlow. Paul Ingrouille, PaulLawrence, Jean-Luc Le Tocq, Ian Lewis and Neil Martin alsoshowed promise with the bat.

Neil Mechem, with his medium-paced leg-breaks and StuartMauger were by far the most dangerous bowlers and shared mostof the wickets.

The game against Victoria was the highlight of the season (notleast because of the superb catering by the mothers to whom we arevery grateful) and only time robbed us of victory.

The House Championship was won by North who beatCountry in the final. Once again Monday Leagues provided someless serious cricket for the enthusiasts.

Laine, B. A. Mauger, J. R. Ravenscroft, I. M. Round, B. McL.Spittal, A. G. Tapp, S. C. Toynton, T. R. E. Wheadon.

N. J. GRAHAM: The Captain has had a considerable influence onthe field, and his experience has allowed him to show authority. Hehas a well developed judgement of the angle of a shot and he timeshis advance from his goal line very well. Not infrequently hisclearing kick has been constructive and, when necessary, he hasshown a ruthless athleticism.

D. K. M. CHAN: At his best David has been a sound influence toSenior hockey at College, at his worst he is his own worst enemyand an embarrassment to his team mates. He has undoubted skilland ability, but can lose his self control and with it all enthusiasmfor the game.

A. R. KNIGHT: Andrew earned his chance of First XI hockey latein the season and he scored one or two important goals to retain hisposition in the forward line. He poaches goals rather than createsthem, with sharp well timed runs in the circle.

N. E. LAINE: A very commanding member of our defence. Neilmoves deceptively fast, with a well developed sense of anticipationand even though he does not always appear to move with speed, hedoes cover a lot of ground in a game. He does not possess a fullrange of skills, although he holds our aerial ball record for 1980,but he times his tackle very well and draws the ball away from anattacking player with deceptive ease. He prefers to play the ball tohis left.

B. A. MAUGER: He made left half his position with many skilfuland dogged displays. Whilst technically correct and with a widerange of skills, Brian needs to develop more flair and pace, and toread the game better. This latter will come with experience.

72 THE ELIZABETHAN

J. R. RAVENSCROFT: One expects so much from John that byhis own standards this has been a somewhat disappointing seasonin that he has not scored as many goals as we had anticipated. He isfast, but has tended to carry the ball in mid-field. The right time toshow his close skills is on the outskirts of the circle when attackingthe retreating defence. Good players make their own luck and thiscommodity has been somewhat lacking in 1980.

I. M. ROUND: He has the makings of a very good right winger andhas had some very fine games this season although the overallpicture leaves the hope that he will find a more consistently highstandard next season. He must be more prepared to attack thedefence and to measure the speed and angle of his centre. I wouldalso like to see him become more aware of the need to make himselfavailable to a pass out from our defence.

B. McL. SPITTAL: Totally committed to the game of hockey, hewas the first present Elizabethan to earn a national coachingaward. A strong player, still not too quick on the turn but verydifficult to pass and very determined when he moves forward. Oneof several members of this side who have to learn to make moremeaningful passes, and to help those about him to build up con-structive passes.

A. G. TAPP: Just a couple of First XI games this season, but a fineprospect and a little unlucky not to have been offered a place on theOxford tour. He is a natural left sided player with the ability to puthis opponent off balance with a body swerve.

S. C. TOYNTON: The driving force in our side and someonewhose influence in the hockey world has been considerablethroughout the winter. He has a natural appetite for hard work andhe is disappointed by anything in his or the team's performancewhich he considers below its potential. Stephen has well developedskills but he is not yet a really good passer of the ball. When helearns this timing and develops vision in the game, he will be a verycomplete player.

T. R. E. WHEADON: Tom has demonstrated his undoubtedtalents at left wing and right mid-field this season. He is as talentedas anyone in this side but he lacks pace at present and he needs todevelop a greater competitiveness. He is a keen student of the gamebut must be prepared to work hard at the basics of the game whenthese are presented at training sessions.

Although the results are not outstanding, this has been a satis-factory season for the Second XI. With the majority of the fixturesagainst adults, it was difficult to gain successful results, theiradditional strength and size being telling factors. With theexception of the Guernsey Hockey Club Second XI, the gamesagainst the Club were evenly contested and very enjoyable.

Clark in goal developed during the season and had an out-standing game against Victora College, being a major factor in ourvictory. Brouard was very reliable in defence and did a good job ascaptain. In mid-field we relied heavily on Martel whose speed andcontrol were important assets. Tapp developed strongly during theseason and his versatility and stick work made him a very usefulmember of the team. Scoring goals was a major difficulty and thiswas made worse later in the season when Knight, who had been themain goal scorer, moved to the First XI. Many scoring chanceswere created, Mellor being very effective on the left wing, but wewere not scoring goals regularly.

Against Victoria we dominated the first half and should havehad the match won by half-time, but were only one goal up, scoredby the elder Wheadon following up some good work by his youngerbrother. After half-time they came back strongly into the game and

74 THE ELIZABETHAN

only some very good work by Clark in goal prevented theirequalising.

The two games against the Grammar School were very closeand enjoyable matches, even though we were unable to score in thesecond game.

This eleven played all of their matches under lights at theOsmond Priaulx on Friday evenings. The enthusiasm was high butwe lacked goal scoring ability and frustration began to show as theseason wore on. We gained better possession than our opponents inmost of the games but failed to obtain proper reward for ourindustry in mid-field because goal scoring chances were scorned.Very dominant in mid-field were Stephen Moody and MarkPithers, and Hugh Macmillen had some fine games. MarkFerbrache had a couple of very impressive games, Daryl Mechemshowed fine control in his play, and Neil Bloomfield used thesematches as a stepping stone to the Second XI in 1980 and perhapsto the First XI in 1981.

It is always hard to gauge the relative standard of the SeniorColts hockey team as the majority of the matches are floodlitencounters against older — much older in some cases — extremelyexperienced players. In a Form IV not renowned for its athleticism,it was most encouraging to see the XI work so hard to compensateby developing individual and team skills to a level where they wereadmired for the quality of their hockey and impeccable sportsman-ship. As is always the case at this level, on the Victoria match inJersey hung the reputation of the entire season and these skills paidoff handsomely as we recorded a 3-2 victory in an exciting,memorable match.

In goal Mark Garner lacked nothing in enthusiasm andcourage and produced some excellent displays but unexpectedlybecame glued to his line and dumbstruck for twenty minutes inJersey and 'allowed' them to score twice. Tim Le Cras arrived lateon the scene in the XI but played faultlessly at full-back and oustedthe constant Nick Vine from that spot. Joel Carre at left-backimproved throughout the term and responded well to coaching. Atthe heart of the defence Mike Read added steadiness and reliabilityto his formidable hitting while alongside him Richard Gipp workedvery hard to turn himself into a useful centre defender; once thispair began to use their physical prowess to unsettle attackers, theygave away more penalty corners but fewer goals. The mid-fieldprovided the 'class', with three players of utterly different abilities,combining at times to produce some most attractive hockey:Jeremy Mattinson possessed the exciting close dribbling skills,Richard Williams the frantic work-rate and physical ebullience andJulian Bisson the delicate touch and reverse side play; all threelooked future First XI players. Jamie Toynton, the top scorer, waseasily the pick of the forwards, showing pace and stick-work: hispair of first-half goals sank Victoria. He was awarded the HockeyStick presented to the Most Promising Colt by Group-Captain E. J.Laine in memory of Nicholas Laine. To their credit wingers Mike

This was a very good side and the draw with Victoria Collegewas something of a disappointment; the match should have beensewn up in the first half but a series of missed chances and lastminute clearances prevented this and in the second half the teamdid not dominate the play nearly to the same extent. Betley played avery important part throughout the season, running powerfully andshowing great determination; he, Ingrouille and Le Tocq made upa very constructive and hard-working mid-field trio.

The defence — Attwell, Habin and Martin — was very soundand, though rarely called upon, Morgan kept goal with determina-tion and great assurance.

The forwards were not very effective against good defences asthey lacked either determination or skills, but they greatlyimproved during the season and they made merry against defenceswhich gave them time and room.

The Junior XI marred a happy season of hard work andtraining by committing the unpardonable sin of losing both gamesof their Jersey tour!

John Turian improved in goal as he became more mobile anddominated the circle. Michael Heyworth played some great gamesat the back and struck the ball hard and stylishly from defence.Jonathan Crocker was his usual steady self while Alexis Manselland Simon Stoddart may develop into a fine pair of full-backs.John Bell and Nicholas Ravenscroft have the 'feel' and 'touch' tobe good players but they lack pace, and slowness of delivery ofpasses caused breakdowns in mid-field, particularly in Jersey. NeilStratford began the season extremely well as a bustling, hard-shooting centre-forward and scored some spectacular goals; as theopposition grew stronger in later matches, he was somewhat dis-appointing. Simon Bougourd, John Langlois and Jeremy Paul hadspeed and enthusiasm in attack but at the end of the season theirsmall tally of goals reflected their lack of aggressive finishing.

The First Year underwent their usual mass coaching mainly onthe all-weather surface at Osmond Priaulx. This, together withsmall games, produced the usual crop of boys interested in andskilful at hockey. Tim Winstone was the outstanding player with aflair for scoring goals and a rare mastery of many of the basicskills. Others who caught the eye repeatedly were Mark Beecher,Adam Brouard, Nicholas Chan, Jason Hallett, Paul Ridley,Stewart Roussel and Julian Turian. The coach found greatdifficulty in selecting between the goalkeepers Stephen Sharmanand Nicholas Wessels, and the lack of pressure on our defence bythe opposition did not make this task any easier.

SAILING

At the Annual General Meeting in November the followingappointments were made: Captain — J. M. Falla; Vice-Captain —T. M. C. Peak; Treasurer — J. M. Inderwick; Junior Captain —A. P. Northey; Ladies College Representative — Jo Babbe.

It was agreed that the annual subscription should remain at £7,although the cost of boat repair was now very high and the YachtClub was raising the hire charge for the rescue boat to £5 a session.

General opinion seemed to be against holding a dance as afund raising venture, but as the Yacht Club sail training schemerelies heavily on using College sailing dinghies, it was decided tocharge a hiring fee for use of boats.

Maintenance was done during the winter mainly by Sixth andFifth Formers on Tuesdays and the Ladies College on Thursdayafternoons. The boats — five Enterprises and a Wayfarer — werefinished early and were down at the harbour by May 6th.

The weekly programme for sailing during the summer was:Mondays — Forms III and IV sailing; Tuesdays — Forms V and

80 THE ELIZABETHAN

VI sailing and racing; Wednesdays — sailing after school,primarily for Juniors; Thursdays — sailing for Ladies College andany others who were available; Friday evenings — Yacht Clubtraining course for beginners.

Thirty-five members sailed regularly and many hours of usefulsailing experience have been enjoyed.

The Brehou Trophy Individual Championship was won by J.M. Falla who was awarded Colours.

Once again we were the only school in the Island sailingregularly so no matches were possible. We were not invited toAlderney this year, but Victoria College came over to compete forthe Brennan Transom which they retained by soundly beating ourteam.

The senior members of the Sailing Club have been very patientin teaching novices the rudiments of sailing. It was possible for thefirst time for some boys of the Middle School to sail on Mondayafternoons as their Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme or Form IIIactivity.

THE SUMMER HOLIDAY

The College VIII left Guernsey for Bisley on July 14th in veryunseasonable weather. The boat trip was rather unpleasant at first,but eventually the leaden skies broke into fine patches and the seacalmed down.

On arrival at Weymouth the Special Branch took exception toour rifles, even though the authorities had been warned of ourcoming well in advance. Having sorted out that problem, wediscovered that our coach was not where it was supposed to be, butafter some mild consternation it did eventually appear from a wellhidden car park. The remainder of the journey went very smoothlyas the driver knew the route thoroughly, unlike some of hisprevious colleagues.

The Tuesday morning dawned dull and overcast with a strongthreat of rain, but the team were not discouraged, and began theirprogramme with a will. Everyone worked hard, and the detailschanged over for the 200 yard shoots with quiet efficiency. Verysoon we began to achieve some excellent scores which included 34sfrom M. P. Falla, S. P. Martel and our two newcomers, P. J.Tanguy and H. A. Wegerer.

We were well pleased with our morning's work and set out inthe afternoon to the 500 yard range with high hopes as theimprovement over the standard achieved in the O.E. match wasvery marked. We were delighted when M. P. Falla, M. J. Guille, G.A. Hunt, N. R. Jee and S. P. Martel produced another crop of 34sand L. S. Trott managed a possible. We had not seen shooting likethis before, and we came off the range in a state of quietexcitement.

On the Wednesday morning the weather improved, and thesun shone quite warmly. We again began at 200 yards with highhopes. The scores this time were not quite so impressive, but therewere few that were not respectable. After lunch we moved back to500 yards and continued to score well in most cases. M. J. Guilleand L. S. Trott again produced 34s which raised our hopes for thechallenge of the next day.

Ashburton Day dawned fine and clear, but the weather rapidlyclouded over. We moved on to the range in good time and weresoon ready to go. G. A. Gavey began the Ninth Man competitionwith a succession of bulls, but eventually he lost his elbow positionand a weak finish gave him a score of 40.

The Cadet Pair then followed, and perhaps because of thestrain of the competition they both shot well below their usualstandard. By now our morale was badly dented, but the team fireddoggedly, and as only two scores were below our target of 30 points

THE ELIZABETHAN 83

per man, or more, we finished the range with a promising score of248 which put us ahead of Jersey and among the leaders.

After lunch we resumed the struggle, but somehow luck ranagainst us. We still had a number of very good scores with 33s fromN. R. Jee and L. S. Trott, while C. G. Degnen, our anchor man,scored 34. These good scores, however, could not carry those whichdid not reach our 30 plus target, and we finished with a score of 244— four points below our 200 yard total. Our combined score of 492was eight points below our target. Jersey, meanwhile, had foundtheir form, and with a run of excellent scores from their four lastmen they retained the Haine's Shield with a score of 502 — a scorewe had easily beaten the day before.

The match was won by Bradfield College with a score of 512.In spite of our disappointment in the Ashburton we felt that

we had not disgraced ourselves, and our efforts did not go un-rewarded, for we shortly discovered that we had won the DevonTrophy. This is an Aggregate Competition won on scores obtainedin the Wellington and Iveagh Competitions. Apart from thehandsome silver tray, we received six silver medals to mark ourachievement. We had further success, for both P. J. Tanguy and L.S. Trott equalled the score of the winner of the Iveagh Trophy, butthe winner was decided on a count back of shots, and they there-fore achieved only a small cash prize instead of the cup. M. P.Falla, M. J. Guille and S. P. Martel equalled the score for secondplace and C. G. Degnen and H. A. Wegerer the score for the thirdplace.

In the Wellington Competition M. P. Falla, S. P. Martel andP. J. Tanguy each scored 34s and L. S. Trott and H. A. Wegerer33s — enough to give them small cash prizes.

We also hope to get Schools' Hundred badges for C. G.Degnen, N. R. Jee and L. S. Trott.

THE ELIZABETHAN 85

Team:N. J. Graham (Captain), I. J. Falla, N. E. Laine, B. A.

N. J. GRAHAM: A quiet, almost reticent captain who led andinspired those around him by his non-stop efforts on the field andgained the respect of both friend and foe. Has worked so hard athis game in his three seasons in the First XI that he has become oneof the Island's top defenders. Has added finesse in long and shortpassing to his rugged tackling, impressive headwork and long, fastsorties forward. Has developed cannon-ball shots, but stroked thematch-winning, last-minute penalty against Victoria with agonisingsoftness yet ice-cool aplomb! He was awarded the Marshall Trophyfor Soccer.I. J. FALLA: Our youngest and most inconsistent striker whocould be quite brilliant at times at turning defenders and shootinghard and stylishly with either foot. Just when it looked as if hewould arrive as a quality First XI player, however, he would turn ina lethargic display, offering no challenge to ball or defender andfailing to hold possession long enough to allow support. Thesepatchy performances justly irritated team-mates and the master-in-charge.N. E. LAINE: A giant among schoolboy footballers who droppedback for most of the season to his favourite mid-field positionwhence he could spray cultured left-foot passes to all parts of thefield, just occasionally overdoing the difficult, optimistic passrather than playing the simple, safer ball. Began the season ratherslowly but gradually, as the pitch softened, his strengths began toshow, never more so than in the final ten minutes of the tense homeencounter with Victoria when, pushing forward, he scored theequaliser and made the last-gasp winner.B. A. MAUGER: Developed into a centre defender of the classicmould: rugged in the tackle, tough and fearless and improving inthe air. Was the pick of the younger players by virtue of this im-provement during the season and joined an elusive band of playerswho have been awarded First XI Soccer colours while in Form V.Always a powerful striker of the ball with both feet, he hasdeveloped into a more constructive distributor of the ball; he justoccasionally 'froze' under pressure instead of attacking the ball.D. J. MECHEM: A patient substitute, possessing the sweetest pairof feet in the College and a footballing sense. Only lacking inmobility and aggression in the tackle.

86 THE ELIZABETHAN

G. A. MELLOR: Made rather slow improvement during the seasonconsidering the obvious skill and stamina he possesses. Won theball well but his ball usage and work off the ball must improve. Hisbest games were in mid-field but he played often on the wing self-lessly for the good of the side. Has gained vital experience in thisfirst season of senior soccer.

M. A. NEVITT: Always on the verge of the side, strong in the airand determined in the tackle. Requires to work at passing and pace,especially on the turn, to become a First XI player of note nextseason.

J. R. RAVENSCROFT: Came into the side with a 'bang' and astring of good performances including a wonderfully enthusiasticand competent display against Victoria in Jersey. However, hisplay fell away rather disappointingly during this arduous seasonand loss of form caused him to give the ball away to opponentswith alarming regularity. With his obvious attributes of speed,courage and heading ability he should develop into a formidabledefender.

I. M. ROUND: Possessing the attributes of the striker — speed,shooting ability, headwork and no little skill — he suddenlyblossomed as a central attacker after a long spell at outside right. Ahard-worker and surprisingly hard to dispossess, he should be aforce to reckon with in the side of 1980 with the confidence gainedthis season.

S. R. SULLIVAN: A story should suffice. At Forest School on theOctober tour (we would still have been searching for it if S.R.S.had not been such an adept mini-bus navigator!) we were beginningto struggle. It was the middle of the second half of our fourth gamein four days. Our 3-0 lead was suddenly threatened as 'Tappy'endeavoured to make a game of it by uncharacteristically allowingtwo harmless crosses to pass through his hands into our net. Sullyhad for once met his match in mid-field. His Forest opponent wasas fearless and wholehearted as he himself, though equally short instature. Their bone-shaking clashes on the ground and in the airwere becoming a feature of the match. His own coach andsupporters on the touch-line began to rib, almost jeer, Sully as oneparticular impact sent him down gasping for fully ten seconds. Hisretort was immediate and stunning. Winning a tackle on half-way,shrugging his shoulders in that typical manner of his, he dummiedpast the entire Forest defence on a mazy dribble of some fifty yardsand, although finishing was not usually his strong point, he crashedan unstoppable shot past the startled Forest keeper to put the resultbeyond doubt. His smile and cheeky wave to his now delighted

THE ELIZABETHAN 87

'supporters' acclaiming this individual goal-of-the-season said itall.

He could hardly walk for the next three days: as usual he hadtaken it, 'dished' it out and given everything for the College.

A. G. TAPP: A fine first season in the First XI for this Form V boywho had at times to bear the full force of adult attackers. Excellenthandling and a long, well-timed drop-kick were his strong pointsand his rare mistakes were in positioned play, when to go and whento stay, and from dead ball goal-kicks. Increased confidence andcourage should make him into a first-rate last-line-of-defence in thenext few seasons.

B. J. TAYLOR: Certainly improved as a player during his twoyears in the First XI and began the season looking more bustlingand involved. Breathtaking pace took him into some greatpositions all season, but his poor shooting never matched theapproach work. A much improved crosser of the ball whose expertcorner-kicks led to many goals.

M. R. THOMPSON: The destroyer of the side, whose ubiquitoussliding tackles were the scourge of opponents' shins and the CollegeField groundsman! Not a natural soccer player but a naturaldefender whose absence from the Tour, through pressure ofacademic work, left a gaping void in our central defence.'Thommo' could always be relied upon for 100% commitment andfor showing up only two minutes before kick-off time!

A season which included the double victory over Victoria,three creditable defeats by only the odd goal at the hands of strongPriaulx League opposition and only one narrow defeat, and that inthe last seconds, during the strenuous tour programme must beconsidered successful.

However, strangely, the First XI of 1979 never measured up inquality of play or competitiveness to most of its immediate pre-decessors. Half the regular squad consisted of Form V boys and,with most of the opposition still made up of experienced adultplayers, the season became a long, hard apprenticeship for most ofthe willing but inconsistent younger players. Some of the soccer —at Victoria, Witley and Forest in particular — was attractive andirresistible, whilst, at worst, woeful finishing and dreadful passingturned several possible victories into disappointing defeats.

The established players — Graham, Laine and Sullivan —were a class apart from the rest of the side and it said much for theircharacter that they rarely, if ever, failed to live up to their respon-sibilities and were at most times tolerant of the mistakes of theirless experienced team-mates.

THE ELIZABETHAN

On and off the field, especially on the tour, the First XI of1979 were respected for their conduct and attitude by opponents,hosts and spectators alike, enhancing the reputation of theirCollege and its soccer.Colours:

Colours were awarded to N. J. Graham, B. A. Mauger and S.R. Sullivan.

M. M. WATERMAN: Matt Waterman was a quiet andunassuming team captain who nevertheless exerted great influenceon his players. A knowledgeable, ball-playing right-back, Mattalways tried to 'find his man' even when deep in his own defensivearea.

N. J. BLOOMFIELD: When on form Neil was brilliant but whenhe was not in the mood he made little or no impact. Despite aseason of erratic performances, 'Bloomers' put the team on thevictory trail several times by making or scoring goals at vital

THE ELIZABETHAN 89

moments. His setting up of a memorable goal in the 12-1 victoryover the Grammar School was one such occasion.

K. D. BOSCHER: The blond giant at the heart of the defence whenhe converted from left back to centre back, 'Kev' improved con-stantly throughout the season. He displayed good ball control for adefender and proved to be very strong in the air — a real Second XIstalwart.

D. K. M. CHAN: A talented player who relished any opportunityto introduce controversy into the game. His lengthy, cross-fieldpasses often confused his own forwards as much as the opposi-tion's defenders. Nevertheless, some of them did prove devastatingand helped to create goal-scoring opportunities. David also had astrange fetish for wearing his decidedly torn Second XI shirt.

C. CREED: A nasty injury kept Colin on the sidelines for threeweeks in mid-season but, when he returned to play in mid-field, theoverall performance of the team improved noticeably. He scoredmany goals and set up innumerable chances for others. Colin'stendency to hang on to the ball just a shade too long frustratedseveral of his team-mates but his ability to do this provedinvaluable on many occasions. The contrasting styles of play ofColin and David Chan gave the team an interesting and variedblend in mid-field.

C. J. GUILBERT: Eventually made the right mid-field position hisown and developed a good understanding with Matt Waterman andNeil Bloomfield. Chris, who had some weird notion that he lookedtough with his sleeves rolled up, was sometimes reluctant to defendbut made up for this by playing a leading role in many goalattacking moves down the right flank.

A. R. KNIGHT: The regular left-winger, Andrew enjoyed a goodseason apart from a slight loss of form for a few games just afterhalf-term. He found his touch again towards the end of the seasonand was about the only outfield player to come out of the Victoriamatch with any credit. Andrew will probably tell his grandchildrenin years to come about the game in which he hit the cross-bar withan overhead kick from outside the penalty area. If ever a scoringeffort deserved a goal, this was it!

S. R. LANGFORD: Eventually established himself at left backafter several games in the centre of the defence where he found itrather tempting to give away the occasional penalty. Stephen wassometimes caught out for pace but he played his heart out at alltimes.

90 THE ELIZABETHAN

H. N. MACMILLEN: 'Huge' Macmillen, a tall and safe goal-keeper whose all-round ability improved greatly as the season pro-gressed. Hugh became renowned for his brave, almost suicidaldives at the feet of the opposition.

B. MARTEL: The 'rock' of the defence — strong in the tackle andpowerful in the air, Brian gave 100% plus at all times. He was neverafraid to venture forward in mazy runs to support the attack,leaving Boscher and Co. panicking at the back. Brian's tremendouspace enabled him to mop up countless awkward situations indefence when colleagues were left floundering.

D. J. MECHEM: A key member of the Second XI mid-field whowas sadly missed on the fairly frequent occasions on which he wasrequired for First XI duty. This stockily built, mid-field general'scontrol and passing were a joy to watch. Daryl toiled incessantly tokeep the team going forward and was not afraid to push up insearch of snap shooting opportunities himself.

K. P. ROBERT: A central attacker who chased and harried theopposing defenders constantly, Kevin's skilful ball control morethan made up for his lack of height. He scored nine very usefulgoals, including an outstanding hat-trick against the GrammarSchool.

N. W. BELTON, S. C. K. CROOK and S. G. PERFITT alsoplayed for the Second XI occasionally.

The team did not enjoy the best of seasons, the resultsrevealing a distinct lack of consistency. Nevertheless, it must beremembered that the majority of the games was against adultopposition, physically stronger and much more experienced. To theteam's credit, however, the players never stopped trying to playconstructive football. Unfortunately, the poorest team displayoccurred in the most important match of all — the annual battleagainst Victoria College, this year in Jersey. Our old rivals playedexceptionally well and never allowed our team to settle into any sortof rhythm and only a brilliant display by goalkeeper HughMacmillen kept the score down to a 'respectable' 1-6 defeat.

This has not been a successful year for the Senior Colts. Theside has lacked the strength and skill to compete with theopposition and consequently was always under pressure. A series ofinjuries throughout the season meant that there was never a settledside and simply emphasised the lack of physical strength. Theopponents' dominance of possession meant that the defence was

92 THE ELIZABETHAN

under constant pressure and it was inevitable that goals wouldcome usually from a mistake.

Toynton, who was the main goal scorer, ran hard but lackedthe ability to hold the ball and had very little support. In mid-fieldWilliams worked hard and won possession with determinedtackling and heading. In defence Gipp and Read tackleddeterminedly while Webley in goal often produced some out-standing saves and displayed considerable courage on occasions.

Against a very strong and extremely skilful Victoria side weprobably played as well as we had done all season but were unableto prevent them scoring eight goals.

To the team's credit, though outplayed, they never gave upand were always prepared to run and compete right up to the end. Iwould like to thank all those parents who gave us their regularsupport.

The 'B' team had an enjoyable season, playing open andenergetic football, and I am sure that a number of them, as they getstronger, will be very useful senior players.

The Junior Colts lost seven of their eleven matches, but wereunfortunate to lose four of these only by a single goal in gameswhich could have gone either way. Too often vital goals were givenaway when the back line was outpaced by opposing forwards; thesituation improved greatly when Stephen Attwell was moved backto become central defender, a dominating and fearsome player.Unfortunately, this left the mid-field weak; Neil Mechem, theCaptain, rarely played as well as we know he can. Up front toomuch was left to Stuart Mauger but when he did break away therewere few defences in the island that could catch him and he scoredsome fine goals. In general the team suffered from two major, notunconnected faults — the failure to move into position to supportcolleagues and the inability to pass accurately to anyone in the samecolour shirt.

The 'B' XI enjoyed several fixtures with rather more successthan the 'A' team.Colours:

This talented and enthusiastic team fully deserved their secondsuccessive Island Schools' F.A. League title, losing just one matchin the home season and one on Tour.

To the high level of individual skill was added the discipline ofteam skills to provide the pattern and quality of play, for a goodside like this one needed to be entertaining and attractive in itsapproach as well as effective.

Crocker was a responsible, respected Captain and a pillar ofdefence who was sorely missed when an attack of measles ruled himout of the Tour. Ravenscroft improved in goal from week to week,handled and kicked safely and on several occasions his bravereaction saves won matches for his side. Williams' headwork wasalways prominent in defence and the professional inducement of 25pence per headed goal brought him into attacking positions and onto the score sheet at every opportunity! At full-back Danks tackledeverything that moved and often kept his best displays for days onwhich others were off-colour, and Turian's speed allowed him toattack more and yet get back in time to defend when required. Thetalented Cox and Paul were the constructive play-makers in mid-field, creating and scoring the majority of goals and, on occasions,seeing passing opportunities a fraction too late and being robbed ofpossession. Up front Bougourd developed rather slowly, buttowards the end of the season gained the confidence to 'try things'to outwit opponents and scored some important goals. Lynch'sspeed and unselfish, whole-hearted running took him into some

THE ELIZABETHAN 95

marvellous positions whence he usually made a spectacular missand, on odd joyous occasions, scored memorable goals!

The team must thank their convoy of loyal parents who bravedthe almost inevitable wind and rain of the Memorial Field andother even more exposed areas of Guernsey to support their off-spring or to shout abuse at the home referee!

The Junior XI 'B' team showed the depth of Form II soccertalent by having an equally impressive record for the season. D. A.Evans was a hard-working, unselfish Captain on and off the field,while J. T. Bell, M. C. Coffell, F. N. Stratford, A. D. Street and A.M. Tanguy played most respectably for the 'A' team on occasionsand would have gained a regular place in any of the other schoolsides in the League.

The Elevens XI side won the Island First Year League,although it needed two play-offs to push St. Peter Port into secondplace. Our early results were indifferent but after a sharp reminderby one side, who beat us 6-7, and the addition of a fourth man inour defence, the side established themselves as the most talented onthe island. Much of our success is attributable to the fine personalskills and the decisive finishing power of Tim Winstone; he scored41 goals in inter-school matches this season. At the other end of thefield Glenn Bradshaw has proved a reliable goalkeeper behind astrong back four, usually composed of Paul Ridley (or NicholasWessels), Stewart Roussel, Stephen Sharman and Julian Turian. Inmid-field Jason Hallett has been very powerful whilst MarkBeecher always gives 100% effort; neither of these players is a goodpasser and there is a need to develop this vital aspect of their game.Valuable goals have been scored by Peter Timmer, Romano Mellahad a particularly impressive start to the season which earned him aplace on the half-term Junior XI tour, Philip Attwell has done hisbest to keep the machine moving and Christopher Marsh has putenormous enthusiasm into the game when given the opportunity.

HAUTLIEU SCHOOL, JERSEYOn July 4th Hautlieu School came over again from Jersey to

play in a friendly match. Each team consisted of six pairs and so itwas impossible to play each tie on a 'best of three sets' basis in thetime available. Consequently each tie consisted of thirteen gamesand the match was decided on the grand total of games won andlost. Since last year's match was rather one-sided, our moreexperienced players were mostly paired with our less experiencedplayers to make it a more even contest. The final score — ElizabethCollege 154 games, Hautlieu School 145 games — indicates howtightly fought the match became as a result.

The results of our pairs were as follows:Games

THE CHOIR

At the start of every academic year it is inevitable that muchtime is spent working towards the Carol Services and 1979 provedto be no exception to the rule.

THE CAROL SERVICESThe Services were held in the Town Church on December 9th

and 16th. On both occasions the Clangers' Handbell Group playedbefore the Service began.

The Order of Service was as follows:Processional — 'Once in Royal David's City'The BiddingChoir — 'Adam Lay y-bounden' (Ord.)

Lesson I: Genesis III, 8-15 (Reader — A Junior)'A Great and Mighty Wonder' (Praetorius)

Lesson II : Genesis XXII, 15-18 (Reader — A Member of theMiddle School)

Choir — 'Tomorrow shall be my Dancing Day' (arr.Willcocks)

Lesson III: Isaiah XI, 1-9 (Reader — A Senior)'It came upon the Midnight clear'Choir — 'Jesus Christ the Apple Tree' (Elizabeth Poston)

During the Christmas Holiday the Choir, resplendent in itsnew robes, performed on several evenings before December 25th atClubs and Hotels singing festive carols and enjoying the spirit ofthe season. On December 24th His Excellency, The Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey and Lady Martin entertained the Choir atGovernment House where carols were performed by the Choir andseveral congregation items were sung. After wishing His Excellencyand Lady Martin a very Happy Christmas, our choristers departedand met again later to sing to other groups in Town.

The Lent Term was spent preparing for the End of TermService and the Visit to France.

THE END OF TERM SERVICE, LENTThe Service was held in the Town Church on March 29th.The Order of Service was as follows:'God of Mercy, God of Grace'The BiddingA PrayerThe Lord's Prayer

THE ELIZABETHAN 115

THE VISIT TO FRANCEIt is now widely known that one of the main activities of the

Choir is the annual trip to France. The services of the Rev. P. G.Lane on this occasion were invaluable, but, sadly, this was the lasttime that Peter accompanied the Choir as College Chaplain. I haveno doubt that readers of this magazine will time and time againhear of the work Peter did for the College, of his enthusiasm andsupport for so many activities. I know that the boys in the Choirwill miss him and wish him all the best in his new appointment atSt. Peter Port School.

Our programme in France was similar to the one planned in1979. Accommodation was provided at the Institution de MOKAand the Choir sang at two important services. It was certainly anintrepid group of youngsters that left Guernsey to travel by CondorHydrofoil to St. Malo. Pere Leutellier (our 'French Connection' —quote: The Elizabethan 1979) again organised much of the work wedid in France, and many relationships with French families weresecured when our boys were invited to spend 'a day in the life of aFrenchman' after Mass on Sunday.

At the Services and recitals the following pieces were sung:Non Nobis, Domine: W. Byrd.The Law of the Lord: Mathias.From the Rising of the Sun: Gore Ouseley.Morning Prayer: Tchaikowsky.My Soul, there is a Country: Parry.Resonemus Laudibus: C. N. Claxton.Lead me Lord: S. Wesley.Tomorrow shall be my Dancing Day: Arr. Willcocks.Jesus Christ the Apple Tree: Elizabeth Poston.Ding Dong! Merrily on High: Charles Wood.Rise Up, Shepherd: C. N. Claxton.This Joyful Eastertide: B. Longthorne.Lord, For Thy Tender Mercies Sake: Tye (attr.)Service in F: C. N. Claxton."Notre Pere": Rimsky-Korsakov.

THE CONFIRMATION SERVICEBecause Mr. Surcombe was away from the Island on May 3rd

when the College Confirmation Service was held, J. P. Le Tocq(Form V) was presented with the opportunity to play the organ forthe Service, and the Choir was conducted by T. M. C. Peak (FormUVI). It was a delight to be present at a Service, the musical side ofwhich was excellently controlled by two senior boys of the College.

116 THE ELIZABETHAN

THE END OF TERM SERVICE, TRINITYThe Service was held in the Town Church on July 12th.The Order of Service was as follows:'Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation'The General Confession

Lesson I: Isaiah LV, 1-9 (Reader — M. R. Thompson)Anthem — 'God is gone up with a merry noise' (A. Hutchings)

Lesson II: Romans VIII, 31-39 (Reader — The Principal)The Collects and Prayers'When I survey the wondrous Cross'The Bidding PrayerThe Address given by The Reverend Canon L. E. Tanner,

M.A. (The Sub-Dean of Guildford Cathedral)'Thy hand, O God, has guided'The Blessing

Although one recognises that with the end of each academicyear several senior choristers leave the College, July 1979 was themonth when we said goodbye to one particular student who hasworked very hard for the College Choir. Timothy Peak has shown akeen interest in Choral Music since he came to the College UpperSchool in 1973. During the last two years he was able to extend hismusical career by directing the 'Splinter Group' (a small group ofexperienced singers) and he managed to secure a good standard ofsinging in a very short time. He was ably assisted by John Falla,also of the Upper Sixth, and I would like to wish both of themevery success in their future careers. My best wishes are alsoextended to all other choristers who have worked very hard — and Ihope will continue to do so. Let us look forward to another goodchoral year.

THE BRASS BAND

Despite losing several experienced players at the end of the1978-1979 School year, the band has continued to flourish. Anucleus of eleven players practised regularly on Monday afternoonsand accompanied the hymn singing in the Hall on Mondaymornings and in Spurgeon on Tuesday mornings throughout mostof the year.

On Wednesdays after school there were rehearsals for a groupof eight less experienced players. The best of these linked up withthe Senior group for the Foundress's Day Concert to produce asolid and tuneful brass band sound which was greatly enjoyed bythe audience.

A learners' group has continued to operate under the guidanceof Mr. Rawlins-Duquemin. Hopefully more Juniors will beinterested in taking up a brass instrument next year, thus providinga steady flow of players for the main band in the years ahead.

THE SUMMER ORCHESTRAL COURSE

The sixth Elizabeth College Summer Orchestral Course washeld at Elizabeth College between August 25th and 30th. TheCourse has become increasingly popular with young musicians andenabled them to improve their sight-reading, instrumental tech-nique, appreciation of ensemble work and knowledge of theorchestral repertoire. The hundred students who attended theCourse this year were divided into three groups — The SymphonyOrchestra, The Wind Band and The String Orchestra.

120 THE ELIZABETHAN

The Coull String Quartet has been engaged on the OrchestralCourse for the last five years. The Darius Wind Quintet are not newto the Island, but this was the first year that they tutored on theOrchestral Course.

I am indebted to all the tutors for their diligence and co-operation to make the 1980 Course a success.

During the week the Coull and the Darius presented a Concertto the Students and this was excellently received. Thunderousapplause and cries of "more, more, more" still ring in my ears!

On the afternoon of August 28th all musicians downed theirinstruments and went on an excursion to Herm. This social activityproved to be a very valuable break in the week's work.

On the evening of August 30th the Students presented aConcert at the Ladies' College.

A great deal of hard work was done during the week and it wasvery exciting to see so much progress made by so many in such ashort time. Although an award was not given, recognition ofprogress was afforded to Paul Johnson (Tuba) — well done, Paul.

Unfortunately, we were not able to secure the services of Mrs.Marian Le Tissier who has filled the Secretarial position for threeyears. However, Mrs. Gill Freeman agreed to accept the post and Iam very grateful for all the hard work and patience both ourSecretaries have put into the Orchestral Course.

Finally, I hope that all those who were connected with the 1980Course will look forward to next year, and in the meantime relishmany happy memories of this, the sixth Elizabeth College SummerOrchestral Course.

C.C.F. NOTES

With the arrival of 2 LTs D. Newick and R. A. Hamilton ourOfficer strength is now up to Establishment level for the first timesince the contingent 'went voluntary'. This means that plans tore-open the REME section in September 1980 can now be fulfilled,thus giving recruits the choice of four sections to join uponcompletion of their basic training.

Another major development has been the acquisition of a 3/4ton hard-topped Land Rover; though only purchased in January1980 it has already proved to be so invaluable that one wondershow we ever managed without it! It has been used twice weekly totransport weapons to the Fort Le Marchant range and has added anew dimension to our weekly training programme; we can nowtransport stores and small numbers of personnel to training areaswithout the aggravation of inflexible private hire arrangements.

ADVENTURE TRAININGAdventurous training took place on Dartmoor from 31st

March to 8th April, the party comprising the OC, Lt. M. J. Smith,2Lt. D. Newick, the SSI and 12 Cadets. This was the first time thatsuch a large group had undertaken Adventurous Training.Favourable weather and the Land Rover obviating the man-handling of stores on the outward and inward journeys were largelyresponsible for the success of this Camp, the highlight of which wasthe day spent rock climbing and abseiling on Haytor Rocks withinstructors from Depot Para.

ANNUAL CAMPSR.A.F. Annual Camp was held at R.A.F. Cosford from

March 26th to April 2nd. FO G. Guilbert and 7 Cadets attendedthis Camp.

The South West District Central Camp at Okehampton,Devon, was the venue for this year's Annual Camp from July 17thto 25th. 46 Cadets travelled from Guernsey and a further 4 joinedthe main party after Bisley. Despite foul weather at the beginningof the Camp, all activities went ahead as scheduled, including a24hr exercise, a March and Shoot Competition (in which we placed2nd), visits to R.A.F. Mountbatten and the assault course at R.M.

124 THE ELIZABETHAN

Citadel, Plymouth, an Orienteering Competition, which ourContingent won, Rock Climbing, Firing Modern Weapons, CloseQuarter Battle tactics, etc. The highlight of the Camp was the lastworking day when, thanks to improved weather, a Wessexhelicopter from R.A.F. Culdrose was made available. All membersof the Contingent practised embarkation and disembarkation drillsand were given an enjoyable flight around Dartmoor.

OTHER NEWSCadets Bridel J. R. L. and Best D. W. R. attended the Joint

Services Camp in Gibraltar.Volunteers from the Signals Section assisted with

communications at two local point to point race meetings atL'Ancresse.

M. P. Tolcher was awarded a Flying Scholarship for a courseat Hum during July 1980.

Three cadets — M. A. Gaudion, J. A. Nelson and M. A.Woodall — were allocated places on a Gliding course at LittleRissington during the Summer Holiday.

EXPEDITION SECTIONThis part of the Award Scheme requires participants to spend

a number of nights camping in order to cover a route and study aninteresting aspect of the countryside. Guernsey, Dartmoor and theLake District have been this year's venues for the Bronze, Silverand Gold levels respectively.

THE ELIZABETHAN 125

Silver Expedition to Dartmoor, Easter 1980.Here is a short account of the trip by one of its members:'The party, which consisted of Mr. Couch (Leader), S. I.

Hamilton and D. N. Stephenson (Instructors), J. de Garis, K. B.Lawrence, M. J. Murphy, M. R. Salisbury, C. D. Waldron and A.J. Ward, left a windy Guernsey on March 29th and finally arrivedat the base camp near Cadover Bridge in the early hours of the nextday. The next three days were training days during which weacquainted ourselves with the Moor, its features and its weather,the latter being wet, misty and cold for those days. The fourth daywas 'free day' when the party embarrassed Plymouth ratepayerswith their styles of footwear. The next three days consisted of theexpedition proper which, thankfully, was carried out under blueskies and a warm sun — a marked contrast to the training days. It isdifficult to describe an expedition like this in so little detail, but theexperience was happy and very valuable. Not only did it teach usindependence but, more important, tolerance and ability to workunder stress in a democratic group.'Gold Expedition to the Lake District, Summer 1980.

Here is a short account of the trip by one of its members:'Ten intrepid explorers, led by Mr. Morris and Mr. Higgins,

embarked on this expedition. After an uneventful journey, we weregreeted by the Lake District sun shining over our cottage and viewsonly to be surpassed by those at Hard Knott Pass. The weather forthe practice expeditions was generally good, although, when wevisited the Silurian Way Forest Trail, it had become the primevalswamp which that name implies. The bad weather navigationexercise was cancelled because of bad weather, but eventually wedeparted, leaving Mr. Morris praying for good weather and Mr.Higgins in his mini-bus overtaking on the felt side but never quitegoing through a tarn. The weather was good except for the day weclimbed Helvellyn when we could not even see the cairn. Our lastday started at 4.00 a.m. and at lunch the other group, sitting astone's throw away, finally recognised us after twenty minutes.Replete and singing 'The sun has got his hat on', we set off home tothe cottage.'

RESIDENTIAL SECTIONThis section of the scheme encouraged Gold Award partici-

pants to take part in a worthwhile activity in a residential situation.A generous grant from the Youth Service has enabled boys toattend the Universite de Haute Bretagne, St. Malo, for a FrenchLanguage course, Marlborough College Summer School, the Inter-national Science Fortnight in London, a number of cruises with the

126 THE ELIZABETHAN

Ocean Youth Club in the ketch 'Samuel Whitbread' and a Toc-Hproject in Jersey.

SERVICES SECTIONThis section provides training and an opportunity for partici-

pation in a number of organisations which help the community.Courses this year have been run by the Police, St. JohnAmbulance, the G.S.P.C.A., Maison Maritime Old People'sHome, The Princess Elizabeth Hospital and the Mont VarioufSchool. We are very grateful for the expert instruction providedgenerously by individuals in the above organisations.

INTERESTS SECTIONThis section continues to offer a wide choice of activities to the

participants. Agriculture, trampolining, ornithology, magazineproduction, bridge, battle collection, snooker, radio constructionand typing are but a few of the subjects being pursued for periodsbetween six months and a year by the members of the Scheme. Asalways we rely heavily on the kind support of numerous individualsacting as supervisors.

In future this section is to be re-named the Skills Section.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SECTIONThanks must go to all those involved in the testing of this part

of the Scheme, particularly to Mr. Roussel and Mr. Winstone in theGym, Mr. Allen in the Swimming Pool area and S. D. O. Lacey onthe Athletics Track. Without their assistance and that of manyothers the Scheme could not operate.

GUERNSEY YOUTH SERVICE ACTIVITIESAs a member of the Guernsey Youth Service the Elizabeth

College Duke of Edinburgh group has entered a number of theIsland competitions. Badminton, billiards, and darts teams fellbefore the Finals, but success was achieved by the SeniorCross-Country team on a May evening in St. Andrews and by theSenior Athletics team, and also by the Senior Quiz team, which notonly overwhelmed Guernsey opposition but were crowned Inter-Islands champions in Jersey over the Trinity half-term weekend.

It is hoped that even greater involvement with the GuernseyYouth Service will be possible next year.

THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE UNITOn Monday afternoons two dozen Sixth Formers, having

finished their time in the C.C.F. or D. of E., or having joined theCollege too late to join either of these schemes, have been servingthe community in various ways.

We have again attempted to make the form of service fit thewishes and natural inclinations of the members. This has meantthat a larger than usual group has visited the Cotils Hospital, eventaking the residents for walks in wheel chairs to see the inside ofthe Beau Sejour Leisure Centre for the first time.

Others have continued to clean the meals on wheels van for theW.R.V.S.

We have helped with football coaching at a Junior School,taught chess and swimming at an Infants' School, helped variouscharities by using our duplicator, and helped load over 500 sacks ofused clothing on to a Commodore Shipping container for Oxfamon several occasions. In addition, we have helped in a small waywith some preparations for the World Aid Walk, with loading alorry for the National Trust, and with preparations for the Bailiff'sChristmas parcels scheme for the elderly and needy.

Generally speaking, most boys have felt it to be a worthwhileway of spending Monday afternoons.

PGL

FORM III ACTIVITIESActivities have continued to be organised this year on Monday

afternoons for all Third Formers, so that in their pre-C.C.F. yearthey can be introduced to at least three varied activities which theymay not have time or facilities for otherwise in their School careers.

The list this year included Bridge & Chess, Electronics,Etching, Photography, Sculpture and Woodwork.

Particular mention should be made of the two Dramaproductions put on in the Spencer Gerhold studio by Mr. Lavin'sgroup at the end of the first two terms, which were much enjoyedby the rest of the Third Form.

The Summer Term saw two innovations. Mr. Higgins seizedthe opportunity of interesting Third Formers in Sailing and had asmall and enthusiastic group to instruct. Mr. Allen went outdoorslikewise, and offered a course in Personal Survival, which was verywell supported.

Thanks are due to all the instructors, Messrs. Allen, Cobbett,Higgins, Lavin, Moss, Fetch, Raleigh and Young, and also to theLions Club for continuing to allow us to hire their Table Tennishall in Maurepas Road.

CONTRACT BRIDGE AND CHESS CLUBS

Both clubs have continued to meet after school on Wednes-days and Fridays when beginners and experts have beenaccommodated. The slow process of Senior, Middle and JuniorChess competitions was begun. The Junior Competition alone hasbeen completed and the winner was P. B. Saunders. In March theChess team defeated the Ladies College by 7'/2 to 2'/2. Victorieswere achieved by N. J. J. Barritt, J. R. L. Bridel, N. J. H. Guillou,C. D. Le Conte, P. B. Saunders, J. D. Turian and R. W. S.Webber.

In the belief that we were too strong for a Bridge match withthe Ladies College we joined with them for a Pairs Competition,each school providing three pairs: P. J. Meader and C. R. Pithersare to be congratulated on winning. One of our pairs was quiteover-awed by the ladies, as is shown by the aggregate score of only73 to 71 in our favour. Feminine wiles will have to be reckoned withif we are to beat them in a match next term.

MSY

PRINTING

A great many jobs have been done by the College PrintingGroup throughout the year — not only for internal purposes, e.g.team sheets for the Games Department, tickets for 'The Pirates ofPenzance', programme covers and tickets for The Foundress's DayConcert, and tickets for the Vlth Guernsey Scouts, but also foroutside organisations, e.g. the Girl Scouts Association.

The group, which is under the direction of Mr. Fetch,consisted of the Prefect in Charge, S. J. Hancock, and a number ofboys including J. A. B. Gollop, S. V. Johnson, H. R. Le Pelley, R.A. Oakley and various Form III boys as part of their Mondayafternoon activities.

THE SARAVIA SOCIETY

A. R. Knight became Secretary at the start of the newacademic year, and elections having been held to bring numbers upto strength, the Chairman threw down the gauntlet to themembership to provide something stimulating from their ownresources for the first meeting.

Regrettably this had to be cancelled owing to the speaker'slack of preparation, and from that point matters did not improve.The Chairman insisted that the purpose of the Society was to

THE ELIZABETHAN 129

stimulate intellectual activity amongst its own membership by theexchange of ideas within that circle, and not to import outsidespeakers, that role already being filled by the Sixth Form Lectures.It seemed that the Upper Sixth did not have the confidence in theirown ability to produce worthwhile papers, however, and finallyafter various false starts, time ran out without a meeting havingbeen held.

It is to be hoped that this is only a temporary setback in thefortunes of the Society, and that the new academic year willproduce plenty of intellectual sparkle.

SCOUT NOTES

This year has seen the completion of the College Field Head-quarters extension, and the official opening ceremony wasperformed by Arthur Martin from Gilwell Park early in 1980, theGroup's fortieth Anniversary year.

A successful Summer Camp was held in 1979 at FernycroftsCamp Site in the New Forest. Visits were made to the Isle of Wight,Beaulieu Motor Museum, Southampton and Bournemouth.

The Group has taken part in many island events, including theCub Walk, Scout Raft Race and Cub Camp. The Troop again wonthe Island Scout 5-a-side Soccer and two members of the VentureUnit attended a Leadership Course.

Fund raising has played a big part in this year's programmeafter the heavy expenditure on the Headquarters extension. Asponsored swim, summer fete, barbeque and numerous coffeemornings and jumble sales have been held and we are grateful forthe work of the Group Executive Committee in organising theseevents.

The summer camp this year was held at Adelboden inSwitzerland.

An Anniversary Dinner is to be held later in the year and wehope a number of past members of the Group will be present.

CR

THE LOWER SCHOOL

SALVEAt the start of the Michaelmas Term we welcomed to the Staff

Mr. J. E. Fisher, B.Ed. An Old Elizabethan, he has taught atHaslemere Preparatory School, Surrey, and we hope that we shallbenefit from his considerable expertise both in swimming andhockey.

130 THE ELIZABETHAN

THE YEARSeveral first time events have taken place this year. We were

pleased to welcome in February the Board of Directors who paid usa morning visit to view the facilities and meet the boys and staff. Iwas grateful to them for enabling us to show the Lower School atwork and to discuss matters of mutual concern. We hope that theywere pleased with what they saw, and we look forward to their nextvisitation.

For the first time the Lower School Soccer Second XI playedMont Variouf School this year. The benefit to both teams could notbe calculated in terms of goals scored but in the social interchangewhich took place both on and off the field.

For the first time we have held two violin workshops whereparents were able to monitor the progress of their boys who arelearning the rudiments of this instrument. The first workshop was adelightful evening. The boys, well turned out and well disciplined,gave a delightful hour's concert and I should like to thank Mr.Attwell, Mr. Loveys and those parents who encourage the boys inthis field of activity. A Second workshop was held in the Trinityterm, and I am grateful to the Demos Quartet for giving of theirtime and illustrating what can ultimately be achieved with applica-tion and hard work.

At Christmas Division 1 prepared all the elaborate decorationsfor a ward at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital, the central themebeing some delightful Dickensian figures. At Easter the LowerSchool boys collected money for Easter Eggs for a group of seniorcitizens.

We have seen the establishment of the Bookworm Club in theschool run by Mr. Jerome and aiming to encourage boys to read. Icannot stress enough the value of reading books and would remindyou all of what can happen when boys are allowed too much T.V.,too many comics and cheap magazines.

After the distinctions of last year our sporting successes thisyear have been few. In the Junior Island Football League wefinished sixth and were beaten by a strong La Mare de Carteretteam in the Island Knock-Out competition, having retained thistrophy for two years. Against Victoria College at Football we wonone match in Jersey, but lost the home return match.

In cricket we lost both our matches against Victoria, but beatSt. George's Prep School at home. We also played La Mare deCarteret Primary School and won convincingly. I am sorry thatmore local schools do not play cricket at the primary level as inJersey, for this would give us greater competition and confidence.

Often this year we have failed to reveal that extra sparkle andattack at the right moment which so often is the key to victory. I

THE ELIZABETHAN 131

hope that next year we have a more successful year, for there is nodoubt that our potential is far better than this season's resultssuggest.

S. P. Besant was selected to play tor the Island Soccer teamand gave a good account of himself in the inter-insular matchwhere Guernsey held Jersey to a 2-2 draw. Steven furtherdistinguished himself by winning the Island Under 12 SquashChampionship by beating K. Pederson also in Division 1 threegames to two.

Earlier in the year N. M. Lloyd of Division 4 shared the IslandUnder 10 Chess Championship, and we congratulate both theseboys on their singular achievements.

I was particularly pleased by our success in the LiterarySection of the Guernsey Eisteddfod, where we achieved a goodnumber of certificates and where J. R. Cross of Division 2 with hispoem 'The Storm' won the Anita Renier Trophy, and H. F.Martorella of Division 4 with his poem received a Certificate ofHonour. We also mounted a very creditable art display in the ArtSection despite the rather limited display space available and thenail and pasta art were particularly commented upon.

At Easter Mr. Jerome and Mr. Bisson took a party of boys ski-ing to Aprica in Italy. Although the snow line was high, this did notprevent the party from having a most rewarding week's ski-ing,and, although the party were very nearly successful in missing theboat home, all the members arrived in Guernsey safe and sound. Iam grateful to Mr. Bisson and Mr. Jerome for the time and effortthey put into the organisation of this expedition.

Mr. Jerome has again successfully seen thirty boys throughtheir cycling proficiency course and I am most grateful to him forsupervising this important activity.

Games, String and Recorder Groups, Ski-ing, Art Club,Choir, Cycling, Swimming, Chess, Gymnastics, Golf, Cubs,School Plays should enable every boy in time to find somethingworthwhile to do.

This year the parents have again organised several socialfunctions which have raised money for the school. The Christmasparty and Dinner Dance were both successful and are to berepeated next year. In addition, we hope to hold an Autumn Fayrein October as well as several other new events.

The Cricket Nets have finally been completed and very wellbuilt, incorporating a soak-away drainage system. It is unfortunatethat re-seeding of the area along with other difficulties has notmade it possible to use the nets this season and our original timescale has in the event been hopelessly out. However, it is my inten-tion that parents who have contributed to this project should have

132 THE ELIZABETHAN

access to these nets in order that they too may benefit from theircontributions. I should like to thank all those parents who havebeen involved with fund raising, Mr. Crowsley and the Bursar fortheir practical assistance and Mr. Marquis for his work asTreasurer of the parents' fund.

The year ended with 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.Judging from the many kind comments I received, the play was asuccess, although I am grateful that only a privileged few saw theDress Rehearsal. I have no illusions about the demerits of staging aplay in a busy summer term, but I also have confidence that there isvery great merit in such a project. It enables us to see the school asit should be — busy, thriving, cohesive and purposeful, wherechildren, staff and parents are involved, where potential isstretched and where it is evident that enjoyment and loyalty exist.The colour and industry of the chocolate factory should be thecolour and industry of everyday school life. School is but cannotonly be written work, tables and spellings and I certainly have nowish to undermine the importance of work, but the team workgenerated by the play, the discipline of learning lines and moves,the courage often needed to stand up and declaim is for me anintegral part of what education is all about. I thank all thosemarvellous mothers and others who rallied to the cause, and Ithank and congratulate the cast for creating a high spot in theschool year.
