THE LATE PRIME MINISTER The tragic news of the death of the Prime Minister Dr. H. F. Verwoerd came as a great shock to the School, wbere he himself had spent some time as a junior pupil. As a mark of respect we held a special assembly when we paid tribute to Dr. Verwoerd and expressed our deepest sympathy witb Mrs. Verwoerd and ber family. STAFF For the first time tbis year we bad enrolled two Sub A classes, and to tbese we welcomed Miss B. Durham and Mrs. D. Hutchison as class teachers. To Std. lA we welcomed Miss L. Marsh, to Std. IB Miss P. Watters, and to Std. 3B Mr. F. Smith. To the post of piano teacher we welcomed Dr. Claude Brown - a considerable honour for the school in having with us albeit for only a year, so distinguished a musician and teacher on the staff. Mrs. BagnaIl had to relinquish her work in Remedial Speech, but we were glad that Mrs. Zwarts was available to fill the gap. Mrs. Oberholzer went on furlough in the tbird quarter, when our old friend, Mrs. Merrington, came to deputise. We were very pleased to say "Welcome Home" to Mr. K. Hutchison after his interesting year in Europe. His magnificent sl.ides of his travels have given us the greatest pleasure. Mr. Hutchison has now been promoted to Special Grade Assistant. Mr. K. Pretorius is taking special leave during 1967, in order to complete an extra year of study in Graaff Reinet. We shall miss him greatly, while we convey our best wishes to him for a successful year. Our good wishes too, to Mrs. Pretorius and Maryna. Mr. Neville Schafer, Old Boy and former music teacher on the Staff, paid a holiday visit home from his studies in Amsterdam, was a member of the auclience at our "Hour of Music", and made his first appearance as soloist with the Cape Town Orchestra in the City Hall. From Miss Lacey we have had numerous letters and cards with most interesting details of her varied travels in Europe. JUNIOR SCHOOL SECRETARY Up to June, 1966, the High and Junior Schools have shared one Secretary, Mrs. D. Cotton, whose volume of work increased to that extent when it became too much for one person. On June 1st, therefore, a new Secretary began duties in the Junior School itself. We were very pleased to welcome Mrs. Buchanan to this post, and it was not long before she became an indispensable part of our organisation. We trust her stay with us will be a happy one. To Mrs. Cotton, who for over ten years, shouldered so much responsibility so calmly and so ably, we extend our deepest gratitude. We thank her very much, too, for so readily giving both advice and help to Mrs. Buchanan when the secretarial duties of the two schools had to be divided, and established separately. Mrs. Buchanan is at present working in the Staff room, not an easy matter, but we trust that by the end of 1967 she will move into the newlybuilt Secretary's office adjoining the Principal's office. GENERAL It has already been mentioned above that we now have two Sub A classes. This will mean two Sub B classes as well from January, 1967, and at long last we shall have a double stream throughout the Junior Standards. This is most beneficial as we shall have all our pupils from the start, instead of having smaller numbers in Sub A and Sub B and then taking in a large number of pupils into Std. 1 who have begun elsewhere. The house known as "Mount Pleasant", in Oxford Street will be prepared for our use, and into it, in January, 1967, will go our extra Sub B class until the two new Kindergarten rooms, to be built during 1967, have been completed. The Tuck Shop, started originally by Mr. Pretorius, has considerably widened its scope thi, year. A special attractive kitchen was prepared, and a timetable drawn up enl.isting tbe help of three mothers daily to serve soup and bot pies to boys at lunch time. To all Staff members who helped to organise this, but in particular to Miss BarweIl and Mr. Pretorius, go our sincere thanks, 25
