a premium, and we were fortunate to secure the services of Miss SeckeI, who took over the classes taught by Mr. Thorp. At the end of the second term Mr. J. Mathew went on furlough and Mrs. Ryan was good enough to step into the breach. To both these ladies we offer our thanks for helping us in time of need. Mr. Voigt, who came to us from Paarl Training College to take charge of the Woodwork and Manual Training Classes, has taken up residence in Littlewood House. He is assisted by Mr. Swanepoel, who spends three days a week with us. This arrangement alJows our Std. VI's to make a start with Woodwork, a subject formerly introduced in Std. VII. Also in the boarding-house is Mr. Fair, whose subject is Mathematics. He comes from Pretoria, where his father is vice-principal of the Boys' High <strong>School</strong>. Understandably, he has shaken down rapidly. Mr. P'eacock, from Fish Hoek High, has a full timetable of English; Mr. de Jongh, from Selborne College, East London, teaches Afrikaans; Mr. Unger, formerly of Plumstead High, teaches Mathematics and Science; and Mr. Kallaway has come to us from Simonstown to teach English and Social Studies. To all these gentlemen we extend a hearty welcome and hope that their stay at Wynberg will be long and happy. And this applies, too, to Mr.Holmes, our new ground3man, to wbom we are indebted for tbe excellence of our playing fields. The departure of Mr. Thorp left vacant a viceprincipalship to which Mr. Gilmore was appointed, and the resulting special-grade assistant vacancy was filled by Mr. A. Morris. Congratulations. Another promotion we are happy to record is Mr. McMinn's, wbose marriage took place early in the year. We wish him and Mrs. McMinn every bappiness. Our Parent-Teacber's Association, formed last year, is now functioning smoothly and witb obvious benefit to all concerned. Mr. Katz is to be congratulated on arranging two outstandingly successful meetings. At the first Mr. Hurley was kind enough to show a film on space travel and lectured very knowledgeably afterwards; and at the second Mr. Pfuhl, a Personnel Officer, had his audience banging on every word - no mean feat, as he was suggesting tbat much that parents find disappointing in tbeir children stems from the parents' unwillingness to give of tbemselves to their children. The ladies' section of tbe P.T.A., headed by Mrs. Hamburger, has done a splendid job. The tuckshop is besieged during the school-breaks, and was of inestimable value during the winter months when boys were able to buy soup, a hot snack and coffee. Also greatly appreciated is tbeir presence on Saturday mornings to serve refreshments to players and spectators. We should like to offer our very warmest thanks to Mrs. Hamburger and ber band of mothers wbo perform this most valuable service. The cultural highlight of the year for the High <strong>School</strong> was Mr. Peacock's production of tbe trial scene from "The Caine Mutiny". It was a sellout for its three-night run, and we are looking forward to his next production. An evening's entertainment on a different level, but just as popular and entertaining, was a Talent Contest beid recently in the hall. An astonishing variety of talent was uncovered and tbe staff was left with the wry thought that if half as much effort and enthusiasm were put into schoolwork, teaching would be a very rewarding profession. Our school societies, run very largely by the boys themselves, continue to provide an outlet for a wide range of abilities and interests, besides performing the very valuable function of familiarising members with committee procedure and teaching them to assume responsibility. There is still nothing to add to last year's scant news about tbe move to tbe Hawthornden grounds. The matter is now largely out of our hands and we must wait patiently for the whole laborious procedure to bear fruit - in not less than five years. As can be seen, it has been a placid and uneventful year. Tbe only drama has been supplied by a firm of contractors who are renovating and re-decorating the school. Jn after years when we recall the splintering glass, the thud of falling masonry and the jets of misdirected steam that come through vacant window frames, we'll say, 'We never closed'. Finally, we say goodbye to our Std. X classes. When the magazine reacbes them they will be wrestling with their last school examinations. We wish them luck and success, and hope tbat they will recall their school days with pleasure. 3
