climbs and for giving of his own time to lead the
club over week-ends.
Although the most important activity of our
Club is tbe practical side of climbing mountains,
we have our theory as well. Every term we have
an evening meeting in the Junior School assembly
room where a number of interesting topics are
dealt with. After the Cedarberg trip members
naturally wanted to show the slides of scenes and
subjects to which these mountains so amply lend
themselves, and an evening was accordingly set
aside for this purpose. Mr. Cronwright was invited
to show a selection of his wonderful transparencies
which soon put our own pbotographic
efforts very much in the amateur class. A very
interesting and, in parts, hilariously amusing talk
was given by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Reynecke about
their travels in South America.
The third term saw Mr. Neville Weller coming
to speak to us on the amazing "gogga" world of
our country. This talk was illustrated with an
interesting and unique series of sLides depicting
tbe life-cycle of the praying mantis, as well as
many other pictures of equally peculiar animals.
Our thanks must go to the above for providing
such entertaining and informative evenings for
our Club. At .intervals films were shown during
the long break at scbool and these were well
attended by club members.
I sincerely hope that tbe Club continues to
introduce the younger fellows to every aspect of
the beauty of our mountains, and that the criterion
used to judge the members of our club
shall not be the standard of their rock climbing,
but their attitude to our wonderful mountains
and the respect with which they climb and enjoy
them. I should like to take this opportunity of
thanking my committee which bas given me such
admirable support tbroughout the year. Dood
luck for the future, W.B.H.S.M.e.!
WAYNE BARNES (Hon. Secretary).
