Chairman: A. Lowry. Vice-Chairman: W. Barnes. Secretary: P. Bredenkamp. Commilfee: J. Harris, D. Read. Boarder's Commi/lee: J. Best, E. Green. Masters-in-Charge: Messrs. Driessen, Matthew and De Jongh. The S.C.U. looks back on another year of spiritual blessing and growth. The work it has done in the school this year has been made possible only by the interest of its members through God's guidance, and to Him we are grateful. The year began with an address by an Old Boy of the school, Graeme Slade, who also served on the S.C.U. Committee in 1963. Later .in the first quarter, in conjunction with the Plumstead Youth for Christ Bible Club, we sponsored the film "Seventeen" in the school hall. This meeting drew people from local clubs and schools, and was a great success. During the second term Mr. McDougall, who never fails to draw an interested audience, again gave up some of his time to address us and screen the China Inland Mission's Centenary film. Another well-known speaker was Mr. George Young of the Cape Times. Two other films shown at our Monday meetings were: "God of the Atom" and "Conflict in the Sky". Both proved interesting and informative. A printed programme made its appearance for the first time during the second quarter and was circulated round the school. An invitation was extended to the members of the Wynberg Girls' High School and all parents to attend a film evening in our school hall. This venture met with great success and we received a return invitation to take part in discussions with the girls and C.U. members from Sans Souci in the Girls' School Hall the following term. This time of fellowship also proved profitable to us all. A panel was selected to represent the school and was asked to answer certain questions, after being given ten minutes for preparation. The Reverend Mr. Russel Harrison of Plumstead held a most interesting discussion on the meaning and purpose of prayer, and suggested possible forms our prayers can take. A recording of modern Gospel songs played at a meeting later in the term also held great interest for our members and showed irrefutably that modern music is not necessarily degrading to the Christian message. In short, it went down well. STUDENT'S CHRISTIAN UNION 103 A report on the year's activities would be incomplete without a word of thanks for the support given, and interest shown by so many members of our school's staff. We would like to mention especiaLly Messrs. Peacock and Boltman, who both gave up lunch-breaks to address some of our meetings. We are also indebted to those masters who, during the year, have undertaken the responsibility and charge of the Students' Christian Union. Many thanks go also to the headmaster, Mr. Blackbeard, for all his continued co-operation and understanding, and to Mrs. Ryan and Mr. Matthew for the use of the Biology Laboratory. In closing, we would remember Mr. Driessen, who left us in April to take up a new position. For several years he served the school and S.C.U. faithfully and won the respect of all. We wish him happiness in his new post and God's richest blessings. YACHTING CLUB The Yachting Club has only recently been revived and consists mainly of junior members from Stds. 6 and 7. We hope that the interest of senior pupils will be aroused. The Inter-Schools' Sailing Championships is drawing near. These races are to take place on 22nd October at Zeekoevlei, where last year we took overall points in the Championship and were awarded the cup. As yet our club has no yachts, but some are privately owned and their owners have taken out less fortunate members and introduced them to the joys of sailing. We should like to thank the many Old Boys and the junior members of Zeekoevlei Yacht Club for their help and encouragement. PHOTOGRAPHIC CLUB With the exception of a few club members, the Photographic Club was fairly inactive during the year. Printing equipment was available, but little use of it was made by the thirty members who enrolled at the beginning of the year. Two competitions were arranged but had to be cancelled because of a Jack of entries, Prospective members must realise that the club's activities can be successful only if the members themselves contri bute towards them. S.G.
DEBATING Chairman: L. Werbeloff. Secretary: A. Blotnick. Committee: W. Barnes, S. Leyser, M. Herbert, J. Benjamin, M. Rubin, B. Probyn. Masrer-in-Charge: Mr. Kooy. Tbe Debating Society bas, like many of the other school societies, not enjoyed as active a year as was hoped. Those functions which were held have, however, been well supported and as long as this enthusiasm is retained, the Society can look forward eagerly to the coming year. The first debate of the year was held at Westerford when the motion "Western civilisation is Little more than savage" was keenly discussed. The school, which was represented by Benjamin, Werbeloff and Herbert, supported the motion which was carried by a large majority. The second debate, with Wynberg Girls' proved as successful as tbe first. According to tradition the teams were split up, with Rubin, Leyser and Werbeloff representing the school. It was finally decided by a narrow majority that "Military training for girls should be made compulsory". The Society then entered a team of five in a "Forum Discussion" organised by the Victoria SOCIETY League. Though the team did not do very well, it is felt tbat the experience gained will be of great value if the venture is repeated next year. The highlight of the year for the Society was the Inter-Schools Debating Contest which was held during the third term at Wynberg Girls' High School. L. Werbeloff and W. Barnes were originally entered to oppose the motion that "Street collections for charity should be abolished". W. Barnes had, however, to withdraw on account of illness and his place was taken by G. Braude. The team did extremely well, narrowly coming third behind Springfield Convent and the Girls' School. At the time of writing, the Old Boys' Debate is shortly to be held when the motion "Science. is a menace to civiLisation" will be debated. During the last term the Best Speakers' Debate wiLl be held and it is also hoped to have an Inter-House Debate. In concluding, thanks must be given to Mr. Kooy for the interest he has shown in tbe Society as well as to Mr. Blackbeard and Mr. Larie for allowing us to use the school balls. A special word of thanks is also due to the boarders who have continued to support us during 1966. J R Y A ~J (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED PRINTERS 48 PINE ROAD • WOODSTOCK TELEPHONE 55-8361 104
