day and passed 011 into business or the universities, and much hasbeen achieved and at the eud of which much remains to beachieved.

Extellsio::ls to our buildings have changed the appearance ofour school. Om sport during the la~t five years bas becomeunrecognisably different and de5nitely of the very finest quality.Our Debating Society is an institution, and, though young in years.has a tradition of excellent work done. School performances-recitals aml plays-have been produced from time to time, alladequately and some exceptionally well. Our e3:perience and afresh allocation of funds assisting, a really good library is, we 'aresure, about to emerge. Above all, record examination successescame our way in the recellt Matriculation; for-for once at leást-the results obtained were a true measure of ability. Oursuccessful candi<.1ates-·and we crave the indulgence of our readersfor dwelling on our 1930 class- were at the same time good cricket-ers and footballers, keen members of our Debating Society andexcellent fellows.

In the seven years since 1924 we have said good-bye to someof our members-boys and staff-whom we have regretted losing;but we have always found new friends, and new persons to takethe place of those wb03e loss we have for a space regretted; so thatwithin a short time we have always found that we have hadanother stalwart whom we shonld find it difficult to do withont.

The Magazine has had vicissitudes of its own; and we canfeelingly attest the truth of the aphorism: "Tasks in hours ofinsight willed must be through ye.)rs of gloom fulfilled;" for aftersucce s with our very first issue, we experienced lean years andfinancial losses, difficulties of printing and uncertainty of issue, andunevenness of contributions; but with a strong Oid Boys' Unionand a rich Schooi life to record \ve are now always fairly certain ofoffering an illteresting number to our small public. Therefore,seeing that \ve ha ve no contemporary-no sister or brother journal--to perform tbe kindly office, we have much pleasure in wishingourselves many bappy returns of the day.

In Memoriam.

It is with a sense of great loss that we record the death ofMr G. E. Lincey, after a motor accident on the 1st of Januaryin MicheU's Pass. Por six: years a member of our SchoolCommittee, anel for many more years than six a visitor to ourschool functions, Mr. Lincey had come to be regarded as a part ofour scbool. In all our social and sporting activities, ill both ofwhich be either played a leading part or took a well-informedinterest, he made thiugs go with a swing, particularly wben pon'ersof entertainment were called for. Blessed with great talents as anorganiser and the gift of friendship, be was always looked for atAt Homes, Petes, and anniversary matches, and he was seldomabsent, infecting us with a boyish delight in our entertainments,anel endearing himself to us with his wit and democraticcamaraderie. .

To .!.liswidow and family we extend our deepest sympathy.

George Ernes! Lincey.1877-1931

He was all wrought upon the noblest planGod has conceived for man:

Large framed, large hearted, larger souled than weAgain sball e'\'er see.

Elizabethan, viking, paladin,To such was he akin

In body's manly strength, and in all graceUntouched of time and place.

His generous nature surged and overspilled "And of its fulness filled

Our cup with wine of wisdom and of witClear to the brim of it.


As a tall ligbthome· bearing rock outbravesTbe fell corroding waves

That clatter round its base, and sends its lightForth-gleaming through the night,

So, imperturbed he fronted with a smileAnd fought a weary while

Life's snarling menaces which ne 'er held backTheir congruent attack,

Till, lest unduly should the strife prolong.The combatants among

Death sprang, and with magnificent gesture burledHim to a larger world.

Yet he lives on, memorial'd in each heartAs one august, apart,

Of nobler breed than ordinary menWho come within our ken.

Yet be lives on, who never failed to lendThe kindly hand, or bend

The ear solicitous to tale of youthOr age that claimed his ruth.

And his pervasive influence will keep,Like cleansing winds that sweep

His native ,,"aIds, our meagre hearts blown cleanOf petty thoughts and mean.

o lover of life's wholesome ways and sweetWho folded us in your great friendly laugh

When'er was season meet!o strength and winsomeness uniquely blent,

Your memory is lasting monumentAnd this your epitaph!

" God's finger-mark shone wet upon his clayUnto his latest day."

Our New School Committee.On the -lth May our new school committee was elected, and

the magazine wishes to congratulate the successful candidates onthei r elect ion and to welcome the two new members; for of oureight 1928-30 committee si x were returned. We, therefore, extellda hearty welcome to the two striplings of the 1931<i~l committee-Capt. G. A. Reid and Mr. H. Boehmke-aml bid good-bye reluct-antly to the Rev. G. F C. Faustman. The Rev. l"austman hadbeen a member of the committee for the last twelve years. Such aperiod of service speaks for itself; and, though our magazine hasmet him unofficially, it can record his general pop\llarity in \Vyn-berg and the impression of a pleasant, vigorous personality he hasalways made. We wish him a happy stay in England, to whichcountry he and Mrs. Faustman have retired.

Our new committeE' are :-Mr. J. Mc Donald (Chairman). Mr.A. K. Wolfe (Secretary), Mr. H. Boehlllke, Capt. G. A. Reid,1\1r. A. Friedlander. Professor A. C. S. Scrimgeonr and Mr. W.nuncan Taylor.

THE PREFECTS.

We congratulate these boys on having been chosen as Prefect::;for 1931, aud commiserate with most of them on the cares thattheir translation fr011l the state of inky-littledom will bring. Theyare-and the magazine thinks that the~- have sho\\"n thel11~elvesworthy of the honour -du Toit, Barry, Anderson. Home. Mac LeodO'Rotlrke, Wilkinson and \\'ooley.

The Fete.

On the 14th March after much anxious thought, many HOL1~emeetings-for this year the Houses ran the stalls in competitionwith one another--and a change of date owing to tbe discoverythat the M.C.C. had most inconsiderately bagged our original date,our annl1al Pete was staged and resulted in a win for tbe School byover 100 runs against the always defeated, but always insistent.Interest Charges.

The School batted first on a good wicket, Wellington contri-buting a useful 44, and Rhodes, which had seemed to the others

to regard the fixture as an opportlmit.y for displaying its newpavilion, closely approaclling the champion's score. Ustfulcontributions were made by de Waal alld \'an l~iebeek, alld to tbesurprise of everybody School House, which had been keeping itsend up gracefully-chiefly dmilJg the tea interval-was found tobe top scorer and at six o'clock still not out and approaching thecentury mark. Play continued for a few days, until the total haelreaclled 254, and the yearly challenge of tile Interest people hadbeen resisted.

A fevv days later at a more sociable game-Tennis- schoolcelebrated its victory, and, with captains forgetti11g the cares ofoffice. the speetre of being bowled out L.S.D. next year by ourancient enemy-onr an11ua11vrecurring fear-was laughed at forthe bogy be is ju..~t (Tfler a fete.

To tbank our helpers would be a difficult ta~k, so many werethey. One acceEsion to Honse strength has resulted: there aremany parents and all the allocated members of the staff who willbe Rhndians or \Vellingta, de \oVaa:i or "an l~ieheekjies for ever,and next year, with the experience gained by Home Masters, tbefinal score alight to reach pre-House proportions---of whichit fell a little short--- and one of the other Houses-we knowwhich one-will displace this year's champions.

To an Old Rapier.

Yours was an old romance that cannot die.Brocade and sil~s your age, and costly lace;

A siiver sheath, a gallant's side your place,And not this shelf where yOll neglected lie.

As in a dream 1 hear a ~udden cry;A cobbled :yard I see, a reddened blade,

And then I wonder as the visions fadeWhat passions guard thy De~tilly-and sigh.

And yet in all, how fortunate am I,Who thus can idly dream of things gone by,

Of loves long dead. And then again I feelThe glitter of the cold remorseless steel,

And hear again the cry, the sudden scream.And ~ee the rapier in the moonlight gleam.

My Dream.

I. I dreamed a funny dream last night,While fast asleep in bed,When all the gnomes in gnomeland dancedAnd wore their coats of red.

2. That night they gave a gnomes' ballFor all the gnomes in gnome-land,There were in~itations for one and allAnd the crickets played the band.

3. The cups were of daisies' petalsThe wine of buttercup dewAnd the elves were to sing a songI wish I were there. don't you?

How I spend my Week-ends.

1. On Friday about half-past fiveMy mother called for me,And took me for the usual driveTo St. J ame~ by the sea.

2. 1 went straight to the bathing-boxAnd. wanting to get cool,Stripped off my clothes, my shoes and socks,And dived into the pool.

3. I dived in at the deepest endAnd swam right to the shore;I'd like to have more days to spendTo dive and swim some more.

The Last Man.The bombardment grew more and more accurate as time

passed. Mis~ile after missile hurtled down on bim--him and oneother; yet bravely they withstood ..holding out for. time unmeasUT-able, the last two just a little longer, and their comrades departedwould not have gone in vain, some bravely, some foolishly, throw-ing thcmselves away for so little gained--he would prove thatthey had not gone in vain.

He looked at his companion, who was weakening under thesteady storm. He longed to risk all in one last stroke, to leap outand take his chance . _ ... _ but no, time was all, and he musthold off the attack a little longer. His comrades' honourdepended on it. He was growing weak .... _ he felt it .he knew it.

His opponents were closing in on him, inch by inch. Coldsweat broke out on his brow; it seemed ages since the last man'went. His 0f,leremaining partner was going, hit on the leg. He heardthe cry of triumph from his foes ..... but no, he was still withhim!

He ventured a glance at his watch, but then another hurricane;mechanically he counted, 1,2,3 .. _ 6, and then the clock struck,the umpires gathered the bails and the game was drawn.

Debating Society Notes.

The first. meeting of the present session was beId on the 17thApril, at which Wonfor. Granger, Setzkorn, Mitchell, O'Rourke andAskew contested the question wbet ber taxatio,n in Soutb Africawas levied on sound lines.

On the 8th May a ruotion centring 'on the organisation ofmodern society was warmly debated. The speakels on thisoccasion were Querido. du Toit, Lumb, Mac Leod.. Kahn andScrimgeour.

Both motions were lost by very large majorities and clearlyreflected the revolutionary and advanced opinions of Wynberg:

It was pleasing to notice the ready self adju~tment to anunusual e:<>perienceof those who were making maiden speeches.whilst the debating of the more experienced members was of agood standard, and was richly interspersed ,vitb true things.shrewd things, and, occasionally, profound things.

Practice is apparently improving tbe style of many of thespeakers who. a year ago, would have begun a debate in themiddle and ended nowhere. being unable to make up their mindswhether to be a charade or a practical joke. I mentiun tbis as alittle warning to the younger speakers to beware of behaving likethe conjuror who deliberately puts you off the scent by performingthree tricks at once m:d in the end gets tbe rabbit and the silkhandkerchief mixed up with the pack of cards and the flags ofall nations.

Listening to the speakers I was also impressed by the implicitand declared aversions of moder,n life which ruany of them possess.A pretty catholic index would. 1 think, incl11de bulldogs. babies,rice pudJings. and saxophone solos. A healthy vigour accompaniedthis variety of their detestations and gave evidence of somenimble thought, at the same time making it clear that some of thespeakers were 3'inlre. probably unwittingly. that critici~l11.if insuffi-ciently detached from the subject. has no very firm standpoint.

The committee's invitations to speak have met with a readyresponse. This it takes as evidence that members are notprepared to assume the unobserved nonentity of a vacuum cleaneror an ash-tray, and, in consequence, the ~ociety looks forward to aacti\'e future.

The Bridge Drive.

On Fr\day the [8th May. Mrs. Clegg organised yet anotherBridge Drive. This time we were blessed with fine weather, alldhad a gathering of about a hundred and forty bridge fiends.school friends and rummy persons.

Al! bridge drives are the same bridge drive, especially atvVynberg; for, what with pleasant company at every table, anexcellent supper interval and the royalty that glaces every cardparty. the eveni lig was a delightflil one -so delightful that themember of tlte magazille staff that we sent to rellresent us quiteforgot to win the bridge prize, the school heilig to the fore onlyduring the distribution of the RUl1Imy booby prize, '" hen MissMann recorded a popular victory, anel in the all too 'short dancewith which a very pleasant evening closed.

Dashed.

Snatching up the ball, he clasped it to his breast. Down thefield he sped, leaving his team staring. He, the clark horse of theteam, the mall chosen at the last moment-he wonld show them.

The crowd of spectators mer~ed into blobs of black and white;blindly he rushecl Oll, striving his utmost to reach the tall posts.

The full-back was ahead, a smudge of black and white. \Vitha wild swe,ve Jones avoided him and left him standing, open-mouthed, amazed and startled. Jones was sure they were catch-ing him up; the sound of thei r footsteps was becomillg lOllder.But there was the line. With one leap he fell across it anci waitedfor the sound of cIteers. At last he rose to his feet· and grippedthe post.

" Hu rry up there," called the ref. "Kuock-on on the half-way line."

The Concert.

On April the ~5th we were entertained to another concert,Miss Kahn. having been engaged for a month or more in produc-ing a play for the Cape Town Repertory Society, seized theopportunity of contributing to School funds and of giving theSchool a now all too rare entertainment. invited her cast toperform the play in the gym. a few nights before the Cape Townperformance. The play-a one-act play-" Crabbed Age am]Youth,"-was exceedingly well acted (both at School andlater in Cape Town) and was the chief course in our e\"ening's fare.It was not a school play; nor were any of the persons of the playconnected with the School. Therefore, wc are particularlygrateful to them for entertaining us as charmingly as they didand for the assistance their evening's effort was to the School, andcongratulate Miss Kahn on a very successful venture.

As a one-act play is too thin a diet for a full evening's treat," Crabbed Age and Youth" was preceded by a recital-vaudeville.-even revue pot-poUT7'i. The members of the cast sang, recitedand burlesqued to us individually in the first half, and ---to beaccustomed to the footlights, to be encouraged by association inthe same programme with gooel amateurs, or to exhibit the workdone in their classes-a number of Junior scbool boys performedin various styles, Quericlo of 10 and Mr. Larie contributingexcellent music.

The Moon,

Rises the moon and beauty glowsWhere she her silver torchlight throws;Silver ships with silver sails upon a silver sea,A silver garment, a silver beauty, rare, enchanting me;A city of silver minarets and towers;A tree with silver leaves and silver boughs;A snow capped peak against a starry sky:Below, a silver stream that ripples by.

Now she in her misty veilThe sky from the East doth scale.A fairyland the landscape seems,Like fairies rustles the com in her beams.Silently, slowly and softly she sailsLike a cloud passing O\'er quiet vales.

Slowly fades her radiance, and passes the night.In the East appears a reddish light,And ere the birth of daySlowly, silelltly, softly she fades away.

House Notes.

Van Riebeek House.Tbe House having. like tbe others, suffered :l considerable

loss at the end of 1930, Mr. Mc Gaffin was tbe onlyene of lastyear's officials left. J. Laas was therefore elected captain, B.Raddyffe vice-captain and G. Orpen hon. secretary, and acommittee was fomled inc1uJing, as well as the above, G. Wocley,K. Lumb, R. Meteierkamp, and H. Yudelman.

We bad hopes of rising from third to second place in theIllter-House Sports. but these were not fulfilled and unless· tbeHouse bucks up it is quite possible tbat our lIext move may bein a downward direction. G. Wooley ran very well and was firstin the 100 yards and 220 yards under 17 ; and Raddyffe performedWEeI1 in the High Jump, in which he did even better in tbe Inter-School Sports.

In the Fête Van Riebeek ranked third and her stalls made£32 towards the intere"t on the field, largely owing to the efiortsof those of tbe staff who became members of the I-rouse for tbeFête. These were Miss Gall, :Mr: Thorp and Mr. Edwards, Mr.McGaffin being already House Maste r.

We wish to congratulate those who have been successful inthe Matric., J.C .. and Taalbond examinations, and extend oursympathy to those who were not. We hope that present memberswill exert their energies so that the House may be able to record amaiority of the passes in this year's exams as it did in 1929.

Rhodes House.At a meeting early in the year the committee for the coming

year was elected. Marcus was elected House captaiu, J. Home.vice-captain and J. O'Rourke, hall. secretary.

Rhodes House did fairly well at the school sports. managing tobeat Van Riebeek by two points and thus place themselves second.We lllust congratulate Barryand DLt Toit on their excellentefforts during the school sports and also Marcus and J udd forobtaining the majority of our points between them.

15


On the Parade grolUld Rhodes are presenting themselves at theforefront with Marcus as sergeant and Home and Ringham ascorporals.

Rhodes as usual came top in shooting but unf0rtunately thedrilling pulls them down a bit. Bnt we are now trusting to oursergeants and corporals to rectify this.

We must congratulate last year's successful candidates in theMatric and Junior Certificate exmaninations. Phillips, Cohen, andFreedman obtained first-class passes in J.C. exam. These were theonly first class passes, and TrainOl' obtained a first class in Matric.Congratulations!

At the Fête, Rhodes stall did fairly well making £40 andsecming second place to Wellington who made £49. Our effortwas due mainly to the unfailing energy of Miss Kahn, Messrs.Bobbins. Lorie and Arguile who co-operated splendidly ill makingRhodes' stall a success. We also must thank Mr. Plane whodecorated Rhodes' stall in a most attractive manner. School Housemust be congratulated on their excellent effort III making over£80 but Rhodes bope to do better next year.

J.O'R.

De Waal House.

At the beginning of this year De Waal House held severalmeetings, and Captain, Vice-Captain and Honorary Secretary wereelected.

These posts were filled by P. du Toit, T. Barry, and D. S.Williams respectively. T. Barry has since left for England.

We have a fair share of the prefects in De Waal, as well as agood percentage of the various examination passes, the holders ofwhich we congratulate, and hope that, if they have not alreadysucceeded in their new life, they will.

As regards the Fête, the competitive spirit did not seem sogood as the mutual one, and when the profits were compared itwas found, to the surprise of everyone, that De Waal had notmade the most; in fact we made a good sum.

Oar honse master Mr. Wabl, and Miss Clarke, Mr. Marais andMr. Volschenk, his able helpers, must all be thanked here for theirmuch appreciated help at the time of the Fête.

16


In the School Sports we again took first plae-e, P. du Toitwinning the Victor Ludorum. T. Barry the cup for the 440 yards.and THE House the McDonald Cup. Wellington deser\"escongratulatiol~s on the performance of their Junior Relay Team.

On Thursdays De Waal takes up its usual place, which wehope (and know) it will keep.

There were no inter-house cricket matches this year, otherwise---but enough; everyone knows what place De Waal wouldhave held in cricket (as in everything else).

D.S.W.

Wellington House.At the beginning of the year we found ourselves minus

Captain, Vice-Captain and House Secretary. So at our firstmeeting we elected J. R. Wilkinson, House Captain, A. M. Ander-son, Vice-Captain and Mac Leod, House Secretary.

The above two co·operating with the House Master formedthe hou~e Committee.

At the inter-House Athletics Meeting held at Newlands,Wellington, unfortunately, only occupied the fourth position. Butwe are determined to occupy a more elevated position next y~ar ;even if we have to hire a steam-crane to do it for us. We lTIU5tccngratulate the Under XIII Relav Team and C.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

The season just closed was quite a successful one for thesenior side, and if they did do badly in the Schools' Championshipgames, they proved themselves a very bard side to beat in the2nd Division and gave W.P., the winners, a splendid run. Jndeedthe result of the cl13.mpionship was in doubt right up to the lastmatch.

As in the precedi;lg year the side made a bad start, losing onthe first inuings to Somerset. In the first game of the Schools'Championship against S.A.C.S. we were up against it all the timeuntil the rain stopped play and the game was abandoned. A poorshow was put up .vhen Bishops were met and bad fielóing andcatching helped Bishops on to a big total. With reference to theR.B.H.S. match the less said the better. Poor play was seen onboth sides. A refreshing feature was the 'defeat of TechnicalCollege at Plumstead after being behind on the first innings, andthis was followed by the defeat of Green Point at Wynberg by 10wickets. The school did very well, splendid fielding and bowlingbeing responsible for a victory that definitely put the side in therunning for the Championship.

After the vacation the side had a most pleasa~t and excitinggame with W.P., who just failed to beat the scbool after havinghad all the luck of the game. Then came the remarkable matchwith R. B.H.S., and a further thrilling finish to the season's gal1l'eswas provided when Lansdowne were met and defeated.

With regard to the batting it cannot be said that it was thestrong point of the side. We tbink that bolder methods wouldhave paid some of the members better; half-hearted strokes arcnot what is wanted either. Pickup and Mc Cormick were theoutstanding batsmen. It may be said, though, that Pickup shouldhave always been sent in second wicket. He is in the main adefensi \'e pla~'er but nevertheless proved himself the greatrungetter of the side. Some prolific innings from his bat werewitnessed during the course of the season. Perhaps be wasfortunate in being put in comparatively late through<lUt, butcredit is nevertheless due to him. A most reliable man, one

always felt confident that lIe would put together a respectabletotal however badly thiIlgs ,,,ere going; on occasions he didenough to make us sure that he, as well as Wilkinson, ought to gofar in the world of cricket.

'With reference to \Vilkinson, lle is one- of those batsrnen wboollght to go far ijl bigger cricket; he is of that type which weoccasionally llleet, that sort who would rather go out than play abad stroke. Who will forget his knock against Rondebosch andwhat more enjoyahle, that 30 lIot out agaiust S.A.C.S., glimpses ofhis true form that we too seldom saw? As a bowler he was IlOtused enollgh. but \vill have plenty of opportunities 111 the nearfuture. Next season __ -.

Mr. Wall! played some good innings, bllt was very unlucky.Mr. lVIatllew did not strike form this seaSOn. He must bavestruck a bad patch.

Mc Cormick, PickufJ and Human did almost all that wasrequired of them in the bowling line. Of McCormick it canllot besaid tuat any decline of skill was noticed, but he was veryunlucky with regard to slip catches; slip fielding was one of theweak points in the side.

Human as yet possesses nu initiative. His leg break is all hehas or attempts; and in four avers a babmau of class kno\vs wbatis coming, as Lamont demonstrated to the detriment of the school.The fieldillg was. all the whole, quite good, but a pronounced\\'eakness was at slip. The catching we are sorry to say was notwhat it might have been. some very simple catches being droppedin tbe course or the season. The wicket keeping of the side wasfai r.

Louw captained the side well, though he was too prone toexperiment with tbe batting order and to keep bis bowlers on toa101lg. He has, however, the gift of leadership on the cricket field.

It now remains for \\.5 to congratulate Mc Cormick and Pick upon gaining a place in the schoob' side against the M.C.C. Theydeserved the honour, for they have done splelldid service for thescJlOol and we are sorry that tbey are leaving liS. Gelfand, Smith,Louw. Watson and :Harvey have also left, and we wish them thebest of luck ;11 their new cricket spheres. We shall watch theirprogress with great interest.

We must thank Mr. Wahl [or the splendid" friendlies "playedduring the long vacation. Tbey were enj.oyed very much

especia·lly the visit to Paarl. Thanks are also due to Messrs.Bobbins, Askew, and Burt for their services iu some of the~egames.

2ND DiVISION GAMES.

W.B.H.S. vs. MOWBRAY.

Played on the school grounds 11th and iSth October, 1930.

There was no play on the first day owing to rain. Thefollowing week the SchooLon winning the toss decided to bat, butfared disastrously, losing four wickets for 23 and were all out for82, Mr. Wahl alone being able to ·play the bowling with anyconfidence. Sole bowled well for Mowbray. Mowbray began ~elland passed the School's totaL with three wickets down. Tbeywere all out eventuaLly for 142, gaining a lead of 60 runs.

W.B.HS. vs. TECHNICAL COLLEGE.

Played at PLumstead 25th October and 1st November 1930.

Technical College won the toss and batted first. The firstwicket fell at 18 but thereafter Kirsten and Ardis offered astubborn resistance and the score was taken to 61 ere the nextwicket. fell. Pickup breaking the partnership by bowling Ardis.Thereafter wickets fell at regular intervals until the side ,'-vasallout for the moderate total of 107. Pickup bowled effectively.The School however fared even worse and was dismissed for 65,only Mr. Mathew being able to look at MispIon until BereJowit7.arrived and played a breezy innings. Misplan kept a good lengththat being the only notable feature of his bowling, but he seemedto demoralise the School batsmen. Upon Technical Collegebatting a second time Human quickly found a spot and began to

21


go through the side, but tbe call of time stopped bim witb thescore reading 26-5 Tbe ScIlOOihad sOlllewhat atoned for thedebacle in their innings.

The next week's play saw the College batsmen fighting forruns, the innings evelltually closing for 89. Human bowledsplendidly. his leg turus having tbc batsmen all at sea. Hisanalysis read,

7_2-10-6

W.B H S. entered upon tbe task of scoring 132 witb Harveyand Gelfand. A disappointing start was made, three wickets beingdown for 27. Mc Cormick and PickllP retrieved tbe bad startsomewhat by adding 27 before Mc COIlTlick gave a catch to thebowler. He played good cricket for his 19 WilS. Wilkinson did notcause the scorers much trouble and five wickets were down for' 60runs. The possibility of a win for the School seemed very remotewhen Watson joined Pickup who had been playing very stolidly.

Watson's batting surprised everyone; he played very weltand in partnership with Pick lip added the runs necessary for awin. Pickup played very painstakingly, hitting only oneboundary.

W B.H.S. won by 5 wickets.

W.B.H.S. vs. GREEN POlNT

Played at Wynberg the 15th and 22nd December, 1930.

Green Point on winning the toss batted first, but fared nonetoo well and were all out in less than hyo hours. A feature of theinnings was the fielding and catching of the School-side; indeed afiner display was not seen again during the ~eason. Eight catcheswere offered by the Green Point men and all were accepted.

The W TI.H.S. batting was "ery consi~tent, the total reacbing17~. iv1cCormick playerl Yery well, ,'..earing down tbe bowling

22


splendidly, a fact that enabled Pickup to score -10, and Louw tohit hard for 25 not out.

Green Point began their secoud innings and lost one wicketfor 15 runs before stumps were drawn.

The following week saw Green Point again in difficulties, theinnings closing without much incident for 117. McCormick,Pickup and Human shared the wickets.

The School was left with 36 runs to get to win, and withHan'ey and Gelfand in a bright partnership doing the needful,Wynberg won by 10 wickets.

W.B.H.S. \'s. WESTERN PROVINCE.

Played at Newlands the 31st January and 7th February, 1931.

Louwon winning the toss decided to bat. The start of thegame coincided with the departure of Gelfand, who succumbed tothe first ball sent down by De Smidt. McCormick, who filled thebreach, and Mr.Wahl batted splendidly, adding 63 invaluable runsere McCormick was uufortunately run out. He had looked set fora big score. Mr. Wabl continued to score at a good pace. one fourof his-a stra.ight drive to the ropes-being a real gem; lashing outeventually he threw his wicket away. He bit six fours in aninnings that was of much value to his side. Wilkinson and Picktlpcarried on the good work, Wijkinson compiling a stylish 32 andbeing supported by a useful 15 from Pickup. After Wilkinson haddeparted at 130 the later hatsmen one after another lost theirwickets to bowling that had looked completely mastered by Mr.Wahl, McCormick. Wilkinson and Pickup. The failure of theselatter batsmen was inexplicable. really a disappointin~ end to aninnings that had promised well. De Smidt bowled splendidly,keeping a good length and breaking slightly from leg. All the

23


same one felt that his figures perhaps flatter him. The W.P.innings. proceeded without much note, four wickets being downwith only 61 runs on the board With the score at 75 Lamontgave a not too difficult chance to Berelowitz at square leg whichthis fielder did not accept. This chance affected the whole courseof the game for had it been taken there is no doubt that W.P.would not have. reached thei r opponents' score. Lamont proceededto defend stubbornly until stumps were drawn with the score at152-5.

Next day Wynberg were without Human, who had taken ill.But Mr. Matt~ew kindly fielded as a most able sHbstitute.Lamont and Parker the two not outs went on their way slowlyuntil Lamont was well held by a substitute at third slip-abeautiful catch. Half-an-hour later the side was out with a leadof 7I rtWSon the first innings.

Wynberg began their second innings disastrously. losing halfthe wickets for 47, and the sixth at 60. However, Askew helpedPick up, who had been playing very stylish though careful cricket,to add 30 before Askew was bowled by De Smidt. It was now arace against time when Smith joined Pick\lp with about one and 'three-quarter hours to play; but these two beId the fort and added27 valuable runs. Watson who was last man helped in a finepartnership of 34 for the ninth wicket. This partnership undoubt-edly saved the match for the 'choo]. Watson played a very mceinnings, two fou rs of his being excellent shots past point.

The hero of tlte bour, however, was Pick up ; he played a realveteran's innings-an innings of inestimable value to tbe si-de.His stubbornness in the early part of his knock turned out to bejustified by the turn of events, and he took no chances and gavenone, carefully selecting tbe ball from which to score. Thisinnings ,v.as one of the best he has ever played; it was truly amagni ficent effort.

W.P. were thus set 81 to get in 44 minutes. WynLerg,however. took the field determined to do their utmost to preventtheir opponents from winning.

Lamont and Smale opened quietly in the f:,:l.ceof some goodlength bowling from Mc Cormick, who, after spreadeagling Smale'sstumps at 21, had Lamont L.B.W. at 34. W.P. were now goingfor the rtms with a will, and Hosking was out soon afterwards.He lashed at a ball which sailed into ·the air, and Berelowitzrunning in took a good catch. This was at 4~. 39 to get and

24

25


about 15 minuter left, the game was full of excitement and interest.The Province players were now hitting at everything and the lastover was entered upon with W.P. needing 10 runs. Could theyget them? Mc Connick's bowling was too good for them andthey were 5 short of victory when the over had been completed.Mc Connick kept a good length and helped mainly in retarding the\V.P. players efforts to score fast. A most exciting 44 minutesfor everyone were these, and will not be forgotten in a hurry.

Scores :-W. B.H.S. 1st innings 144. (Mc Cormick 28. Mr.WahI 43, Pickup IS, Louw 13, Wilkinson 32.)

W.B.H.S. 2nd innings 151. (Berelowitz IS, Pickup 62 notout, Askew 16, Watson 15.)

Western Province 1st innings 215. (Pickup 6 for 40.)

Western Province 2nd innings 75 for 6. (Mc Cormick 5 for30.)

W.P. won on the 1st innings.

W.B.H.S. vs. R.B.H.S.

Played at Wynberg 14th to 21st February, 1931.

Mr. Wahl and Mr. Mathew kindly stood down for this match,while Ge1fand and Watson were not available, Shaw, Tindale,Askew and Train.or filling the places thus created.

Louwon winning the toss sent R.B.H.S. in to bat, and theydid so with a vengeance, hitting up their highest score of theseason. For this they were mainly indebted to their captainAwerbauch whose innings, if not faultless, was a capital one. TheR.B.H.S. innings extended over 3% hours.

Wynberg, apparently tired from their long outing in the fieldand the heat of the day, failed miserably, the side being out in lessthan 90 minutes. After 5 wickets had fallen for 17 runsBerelowitz and Wilkinson added 34 runs in partnership of whichRerelowitz claimed 31 ; hitting 2 great sixes and 3 fours.

The following weeks play saw the Rondebosch skipper enforcingthe follow-on.

Wynberg again began badly, losing 4 wickets for 22 runs. Noexcuses could be made this time. Smith was bowled in the firstover from Apsey and with the score at 4 Shaw made a very foolish


stroke to a ball he should have left alone and was caught at thewicket. McCormick succumbed to a really good ball from Apseyand Askew was out to an equally smart catch at pojnt, also offApsey. Pickl1p and Louw retrieved t.he bad start splendidly,adding a very valuable 45 runs of which number Louw made 36,playing a re~l captain's knock at a critical peri,od in great style.WynbE'Tg ~ere still 43 runs behind with 5 wickets to fall; soextreme caution was still necessary when Wilkinson joined Pickupand these two adopted a wearing down process. Both playingsteadily and comfortably, the score had been advanced to 107without loss After tbe interval the defensive play continued togood effect. The Rondebosch captain was absolutely at his wits'end to break a partnership during which most excellent andcourageous cricket was seen and at the same time giving Wynberghopes of a fighting clla11ce,while visions of victory for Hondeboschfeemed to be slowly fading away. The bowling was really collarednow and Pick up and \Vilkinson were well to the fore with veryhard drives and pulls. A separation was eventnally effected at193. 'Che pair had added l2G in about two bours, and Pickupwas shortly afterwards dismissed for an excellent innings whichincluded 1 six and 6 fours. Wilkinson hit 5 fours in one of themost stylish knoc!<s seen during the season. Louw declared at224, leaving Rondebosch 115 to get in 70 minutes.

Heartened no dóubt by the knowledge that outright defeatfor their side was now rather improbable and a chance of victorypossible, Mc Cormick and HUIlIan bowled with so much zest andskill that Rondehosch were bundle'l out, one might almost sayfired out, for the ignominious total of 26, and so a remarkable andmemorable match ended in a great victory for Wynberg by 85runs. The School showed what they were really capable of andthe fielding during R.B.H.S. 2nd innings showed very greatkeenness.

W.B.H.S vs. LANSDOWNE.Played at School. 28th February and 14th March 1931.Wynberg batted first, losing Mr. Wahl and Smith for 11

runs. However Pick up and Shaw bettered the situation somewhat


adding 89 runs ere Pickup departed after playing a veryenterprising innings.

Thereafter, Shaw, who had been steadiness personified,became reckless and lost his wicket. He had played a pluckyinnings for one so inexperienced. The rest of the batsmen didlittle of note and the innings closed for the satisfactory total of158. Tbe Lansdowne start was, to say the le::tst. inauspicious,the first wicket falling in tbe first over, Wilkinson taking a catch atslip. Tbe second fell at 23. However there ensued a partnershipof 26 before the Srd wicket went down. At this juncture anappeal against the light was upheld and play suspended for theday.

The resumption the following week saw a remarkable collapseon the part of the Lansdowne batsmen. 7 wickets going. downfor 38 runs. For this development Human was mainly responsible,keeping a good length and turning appreciably from leg. With alead of 61 Wynberg commenced their second innings by losingShaw in the first over. Gelfand who followed wa~ never comfort-able. Mr. Wahl in lashing out was caught, while Mr. Mathewwas caught in two minds and stumped.

Lansdowne were eventually set 123 to win and plenty of timein which to get them. They made another bad start but recoveredsomewhat and with the score at 73-7 it was anybody's game.With the fieldsmen on their toes and bowlers straining everynerve, the Sth wicket partnership yielded a very valuable 2·!.The 9th wicket added 21. With the last man in Lansdowneneeded 5 to wiu.

The batsmen snicked the ball into Human's hands at shortslip, but to the dismay of all he dropped it. Happily howeverfor Wynberg he made the same mistake two balls later. HuméUldid not, alld Wynberg had won by 4 runs.

PickllP bowled superbly, while Human kept the other er.clgoing spleudidly.

Wynberg dnring the season seemed to have more than theirfai r share of matches of this remarkable and exciting nature.

W.B.H.S. vs. S.A.C.S.

Played at St. Michael's 28th and 30th Oeto1)er, 1930.

S.A.C.S. on winning the toss batted first on a poor wicket,and lost 2 wickets for 32, before Bernstein and Gel! shared in apartnership Qf89 runs which set S.A.C.S. on the way to a big score.At drawing of stumps S.A.C.S. had made 226-8. (Ge1l97 not out)

The next day's play saw S.A.C.S. all out for the addition of 4runs. GeIl completed his century. He hit 13 fours but was let offat 11,20 and 73. Pickup bowled steadily, and perhaps if bettersupport had been accorded him the S.A.C.S. total may have beensmaller. With rain imminent Wynberg began tbeir innings, butthey fared badly, 8 wickets going down for 36 ere Wilkinson andBerelowitz indulged iu a bright stand of 30, of which numberBerelowitz claimed 24. It was raining when Askew joined Wilkinsonbut the two added 20 runs in the worst conditions imaginable by'great cricket.

Three appeals were made to the umpires but were of no avail.Upon the fourtb being made in pelting rain the game was stoppedfor about ten minutes. When the game was resumed thebatsmen had difficulty in discerning the edge of the mat, thecauses being darkness and the mud which in that district seemedof great quantity and quality. Eventually after two furtherappeals had been made the game, which bad developed into afarce, ended.

This wa!' a poor game except for some bright hitting by Mr.Lamont and Mr. Loubser. Mr. Lamont hit 4 sixes and 5 fourswhile Mr. Loubser had I six and 6 fours numbered among hi~hits. The combined efforts of these two yielded 44 off b'o O\'ersfrom Human and 18 off an over from Pickup. These two verykindly retired after having several "lives." The School then

Played at Newlands 25th March 1931.

A very pleasant afternoon was spent in opposing the W.P.Wednesday cricketers for whom Lord Hyde made 85 in reallyexcellent style. Never seeming in difficulties at any period of hisinnings, his knock included 10 fours. For the losers Ask.ew C andF. combined to score 80. C. Askew played a very valuableinnings; going in when the first wicket bad fallen for 17 he sawthe score raised by 101. He gave no chance and hit two bounda-ries. His brother was a bit more brisk and hit three fours. Manyloose balls however nere allowed to go abegging during theinnings. The game was played in a most sporting way as alwaysseems the case in games of this sort.

A most generous compliment was paid to the players by theGovernor General, the Earl of Clarendon, who was a spectatorthroughout the game and always seemed interested in the. play.

Old Boys' Union.

The annual general meeting was held on June 2nd in theSchool Hall. There was an attendance of about 35.

The reports recorded a vigorous year of life in the history ofthe Union-its first year. The Secretary aunounced that 181members had been enrolled since the inaugural meeting last year.The committee had to tbeir credit the successful organisation ofthe Old Boys' Football Match and a Dinner to the teams and aSmoking Concert after the match. a Cricket Match against theSchool team and a Tennis Match against the staff, followed by asocial, and a Shooting Match against the School.

Since the Old Boys' Union were satisfied that the teamsselected had been good ones, including one Springbok-a hardyannual-and several aspirants, they have great respect for theabilities of the present teams; for the Present won the FootballMatch 14-3, and lost the Cricket Match by 101 runs.

Durillg the year the committee presented a Best Speaker'sPrize to the Debating Society. They also undertook to raisefunds for the returfing of the School field, a sum of £18/5/6 havingbeen collected to date.

The programme announced for the coming year includes theorganising of a Dance withill a month or two, a Di11l1er and thenormal engagements at sport.

A heated discussion arose from the proposal to modify theblazer-by incorporating the letters O.W. in the badge, ordepartillg from the presellt design. It was decided that thepresent style be retained.

A gracious resolution to send greetings from the Union and acopy of each issue of the Magazine to Mr. E. T. Littiewood andMr. G. F. H. Clark resulted in the unanimous election of these twogentlemen to Hor.orar)' Life Membership.

The office-bearers elected for 1931-3 wert:, Hon. President,W A. Clegg; President, J. L. d~ Kock; Vice-President, C. Scott;Hon. Sec., D. Granger; Hon. Treasurer, I{. Felbert ; Committee,Messrs. N. Ackerman, V. Calmichael, J. Kahn, C. Key, J.Mc Donald, C. Withinshaw and P. du Toit (School Captain).

THE WYNRERG BOVS' HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE.

The Secretary's Report.JUNE 1931.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,

As a continuation of the Minutes of the General meeting Ihave just read, I will now give a brief resUlue of the Committeemeetings and functions of the past financial year.

Mr. Lamont, who was elected to the committee, declined,however, to accept office, as he was on too many committeesat the time, and be felt he would not be able to devote sufficientattention to affairs of the Union. In his place Mr. Withinshawwas elected by the committee, Mr. Felbert was elected to theposition of secretary, in the place of Mr. N. Stewart (resigned),Mr. Key was elected to the vacant position on the committee. Atthe meeting held on 18th June, the constitution of the Union wascompleted, and tlle question of membership books and cards wasleft over to the following meeting. which took place on the 30thJune. There the constitution was finally revi:::ed, and a sub-com··mittee comprising Messrs. de Kock. Mc Donald and l'elbert wasappointed to attend to the printing of the Constitution and themembership cards. Another sub-committee was appointed to dealwith the dance, and it was decided to appoint local secretaries inthe larger cen tres. Messrs. Wilkim , MOl~crieff, anel \Vilioughbywere appointed during the next month to Johanne"bnrg, Rhodesiaand Durban respectively. These gentlemen succeeded in enrollinga.....fair number of members during the course of the year.

A further meeting was beId on August 8th. and the teams forthe Past vs. Present Rugby match were chosen.

The match took place on August 28th. the School winning by14 points to 3. After the match, the teams and the committeewere given a dinner, kindly provided by Mrs Clegg. In theevening a "smoker ,. was held in the hall, and the committeeextends its thanks to the artists who kindly consented to perform.

A debate took place on the 12th October against the School,Messrs. Key, Cook and Granger representing the Olel Boys, the" That all men ahonld receive the same wages," being lost.

In a ci rcular issueel in October, Old Boys were nrged to snp-port those functions which ~'ere staged by the school i'n aid of the

35


Sports fund. Mr. Mc Donald advised a red uction in the price ofthe cloth of the Old Boys' Blazer, which now stands at 17/6 peryard. A period of grace was allowed to non-members in which tobuy colours. Owing to the fact that Mr. Felbert contemplatedgoing overseas, he resigned the secretaryship. and Mr. Granger wasappointed in his stead. It was decided to confer an honorarylife-membership on Mr. J. Robertson, an ex-master of the School.

On January 5th another meeting took place, and there it wasdecided to place the contract for O. B. sweaters in the hands ofMr. D. Roberts, of Kenilworth, at a price of 15/- each, and it ishoped that all O.B's will avail themselves of this opportunity.At this date it was decided that the period of grace allowed tonon-mem bers above referred to should be closed, and onlymembers of the Union should thereafter be entitled to buy colour~.

The Dance was held on tbe 3rd September, and was !Jot toowell attended, as the weather was extremely bad, a .financial losswas incurred, and the Treasurer will comment on that aspect later.

A further meeting was held on the 9th February, and it wasdecided that Watson should remain in office to the end of thefinancial year, du Toit having now joined the committee asCaptain of the School.

The programme and catering of the forthcoming Social werediscussed, and it was decided that the Secretary should invitemembers of other Unións to be pre~ent. Mr. Me Donaldaunounced a reduction in the price of O.B. Badges, which nowstand at 12/6. Mr. Felbert then proposed that a fund be openedto replant the Upper field, and that the Union donate £5/5/0towards it. He will later advise you of the amotmt collected.Mr. Felbert was officially appointed Treasurer in place of Mr.du Plessis, who resigned owing to pressure of business.

On the 28th of April a further Committee meeting was helel,and the principal subject ttllder discussion was, of course, theGeneral Meeting. The Agenda was drawn np, and as this isbefore you, there is no need to mention this. But it \yas alsodecided, if possible, to hold an Old Crocks' match against the Staffbefore the Old Boys' Match proper.

Before finishing I should like to mention the Shooting Matchagainst the School, which was fired on November 1st. Tbe followingrepresented the past, wbo won by Ipoint: Bates, Coates, WildingScott, Douglas, H arumann, Heyes and Granger.

36


The a'verage attendance at Committee meetings was 66%.The Old Boys Union, by the way, donated a Book prize to theBest Speaker's debate, and it is hoped to do the same this year.The Old Boys' Debate will take place on Friday, August 21st.All Old Boys wishing to take part are requested to hand in theirnames to the Secretary.

D. R. GRANGER.

Treasurer's Report.June 2nd, 1931.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen.

It is not only with a clear conscience that I am making myreport to you this evenillg. but also with the pleasurable anticipa-tion that you will agree. with me that the funds of the Union havebeen administered both carefully and yet unstintingly during thepast financial year. It is true that at several committee meetingswe have discussed the prospects of a holiday for the committee assoon as the funds assumed reasonably large proportions. but thefact that although we have had funds amounting to £49/11/0 atour disposal, we bave not taken the holiday, must serve as ourbona fide, and it is in view of this that I trust that at the conclu-sion of my report none of you will find it necessary to ask" Quiscustodes cllstod iet" ?

I have classified the expenditure for the year under differentheadings, and intend commenting briefly on each of these.

Our PRI TING EXPENSES total £5/14/0. This includesthe initial cost of the Constitution and Membeïship Cards, ourenvelopes and writing paper, all the circulars sent to members, thetickets and programmes for the dance, the menu for the dinnerthat Mrs. Clegg so kindly gave the Rugby teams, and the postcardsadvising members of this meeting. As one of our chief functionsis to keep members in touch with onr activities. I think you willagree with me that the above expenditure is by no meansexorbitant.

POST AGE has cost us £2/16/6. I do not think there is anynecessity for me to discuss this figure, but I may mention that theHonorary Secretary has kept a Stamp Book in which he llasentered in detail all his expenditure in this connection.

37

THE WYNBERG BOYS' H1GH SCHOOL MAGAZ1NE.

Our third item is BOOKS A~D STATlONERY. Expellseson this account are £1/6/0; this amOW1t being attributable toReceipt Books, Books of Account, Envelopes etc. 1 may add thatsome time ago we decided to abolish the system of sending outreceipts, as thp. Membership Card in itself is a receipt, and there-fore any expenditure on Receipt Books, ami also the cost ofposting receipts was unnecessary.

The amount of £8/1'2;0 was spent on the SCHOOL MAGA-ZL E; each member being supplied with a copy in last June andNovember. The fact that the above amount is divided in theratio of £1/0/0 to the Jlme issue and £7/12,0 to that of December,bears testimony to the rapid growth of the Union.

PHONE CALLS have cost us 16/6, and our BANKEXPENSES have been 13/7. Originally an account was openedwith the Savings Bank Branch of tbe Standard Bank, Rondebosch,but later we transferred our accowlt to Barclay's Bank, D.C. & 0.,Wynberg; where we opened a Cnrrent Account. This has provedmore convenient in a variety of \Yays.

\Ve now come to the only blot on our financial escutcheon,namely the loss of £7/G/3 on the DANCE. To explniu this I mustmention that save for an informal smoking concert the dance wasour first attempt at holding some social eveIlt where we shouldbe sure to entertain a truly representative crO\"Hlof Old Boys.As such it was invaluable in enabling us to enrol new members;but naturally the money obtained by subscriptiolls was debitedto a general account, and not to the dance account. As you haveheard from the Secretary's Report, on the e\'ening of the dance itpoured with rain, and many Old Boys and friends of theirs whohad been sent tickets and intended coming to the dance did notturn out owing to the inclemency of tne weather; and afterwardsthe Committee decided that it would be wiser not to hold thesegentlemen responsible for their tickets. Expenses in connectionwith a dance must, however economically it is managed, be fairlyslIbstantial, and although our catering, again thanks to Mrs. Clegg,cost liS little more than a thirn of what any proIes~ional catererhave cbarged, it was a fairly heavy item. Total expenses in wouldconnection with the dance were £18/3/0, wbile 10/16/9 was realisedby the sale of tickets. 1 can safely say that, had the weatherbeen fine, we should have received between £4 or £5 more for tickets,and this wOllld have left us with only a minor loss. Taking intoconsideration our present increased membership and the fact thatat any future dance the committee in office at the time will benefit

38

THE WYNRERG BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE.

by the information available about the last dance, I do not thinkyou need fear the recurrence of such a loss.

At a Committee Meeting held early this year, the opinion wasexpressed that the Union should have some official add ress. alld itwas accordingly decided to rent a POST OFFICE BOX inWynberg, which oas since been done. Incidentally, as subscrip-tions are no,,' clue. I would ask all you gentlemen to make a noteof the fact that they may be sent to The Treasurer, P.O. Box 56,Wynberg. You will also be given the opportunity to pay themlater in the evening. Needless to say, T hope that as many of youas possible will take advantage of it. as it will simplify matters forall parties. and most people 'are apt to forget to send in chequesor postal orders.

During the Armistice. Day Ceremony on November 11th lastat the School. the Secretary laid a WREATH at the MemorialGateway on behalf of the Union as a tribute to those Old Boyswho fell in the War. This involved an expenditure of IS/-.

Expenses in connection with the last Social given at Schoolamount to £4(0/6. This includes the services of a couple ofprofessional entertainers. and the cost of refreshments, and in viewof the excellent attendance is not a very high figure.

In connection with the CONTRACT mentioned by the Sec-retary, Mr. Roberts agreed to pay us a 5% commission Oil sales,and the amount received from bim has been debited to thegeneral account.

ADVERTISING the General Meeting in the Cape Times cost15/-, and I am sure you will agree with me that this was a verynecessary item.

The next phase of my rep0rt, while also dealing with expendi-ture, is of a totally different order. The committee felt from theoutset that one of the main objects of the Union should be to assistthe School in all possible directions. This was first carried out ina small wav-a Book Pri7e \TaSoffered by the Union to the SchoolDebating Society, to be given to the Best ~peaker of the year.This was presented towards the end of last year. Since then,however. an excellent opportunity has occured in which to assistthe School in a big~er way. The top field bas for a long timebeen in a lamentable state-in fact, at the pre~ent time it is adisputable point whether the nomenclature of ' field' might tmth-fully be applied to it. The ground has been in constant use, butthe School has not the necessary funds at its disposal to have itrepaired. The Committee decided to contribute £Ei/5/0 from thefunds of the Union. ancl to start a Field Fund, to which membersshould be invited to donate 'whatever amount they cared to. To

THE WYNBERG BOYS' HIGH SCI-lOOL MAGAZI E.

date we are in receipt of £ 18/15/6, but this represents donationsfrom less than half our local members, and I would urge those ofyou who have not yet had an opportunity to make a donation tothe Field Fund to clo so this evening.

In conclusion, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I wish to statethat we are carrying forward a balance of £9/12/8 to the comingyear; also that the June issue of the School Magazine which willbe forwarded to all members within the next ten days a statementwill be published of our expenditure for the past year; anel :finallyto thank yOll for your tolerance this evenillg.-R. T. FELBERT.

OLD BOYS' MATCH.

The Annual Cricket and Tennis matches vs. the School werehelcl on tbe 18th February. An enjoyable afternoon resulted illthe Old Boys winning the Cricket match by a substantial marginand losing the Tennis by a small one. On the eveniilg of the sameday a Social was held in tbe School Hall where over a hundredpeople were entertained.

The President gave a short address commenting briefly on theprogress of the Union, and welcoming representatives of other OldBoys' Unions who were present.

An enjoyable programme was represented; for which we areindebted to Messrs. Lorie, Allen, de Fontein and Wolheim andBrown. The Catering was very ably accomplished Mrs. Scott, Mrs.Granger and Mrs. de Koó:, to whom we are extremely grateful.
