THE WYi':J3ERG BOYS' HIGH SCILOOL ;\l,\G.\ZINE.

There have be·en no changes to rccorcl in the life of the o-chool;Qur half -year activities have been as usual. The cricket season,which concluded in March, seems to have been an int,eresting ::lnd.successful season, and lhe football season has commenced brightly.The Debating Society term has suiTered more from the interrup-tions causcd by holidays than in other ycars anel does noloffermuch to comment on. In lhe athleti life of the school alon'~there h~ls been a de,·elopmenl.

The annual sports meetin~') in spite of the misO'i"ings we had::tbout the success o,i a full day's sports, revealed how keen ';venless gifted boys are when lhey arc ol'fered races to compete inwhere the result is not of great import.ance élnd the competitio,]not too cia. e. I n the past "'e hm'e stagcd a championsh ip meet-ing, in pr.eparation for the inter-schools e,-ents, in "hich 15 (Jr20 boys from each of our four House. have competed ;tnel boysunlikely to win points ha,-e been passed by. This -,car, in thebelief that participation in the inter-schoob mceting sen-ed nouseful purpose, "e withdrew from it and organised an ,Imbitiousprogr:lmme of handicap races, ,,-alking- races, sack nlces andobstacle races ill addition to the tradition,tJ champi()n~hip events_The respon, e of the school ,,';1S astonishing, and thr 'e hundredboys took p<trt in the 72 events ",hich made up the programme,

The spons COl1lmenced at 10 o'clock and eoncludcd al 5.40,ten minutes after the time wc h8c1 predicted; for in an under-taking of the magnitude ai this year's "e had planned the pro-gramme car.cfully, allotting a certain tim(' to each race. 'Veha\'e, II e hope, established a precedent and, certain of the keen-ness of the boys, may look forward to sports meetings of thefuture modelled on the recent meeting, the most succe. sful \\ehm'e hael during the last fourt.een years at least.

On t\\'o evenings, in ]\[arch and ,'-pril, }\Ifr. Cornwcll andMurray Cornwell, an Old Boy and a fine qU~lrter-l1liler, broughltheir Cine Jantem and exhibited t\\'o films belonging- la the CelticHarriers, onc a picture of local athletes taken by 1\1r. Cornwell,the other a film of the Olympic Game~. On lhe first e,-ening,Mr. Penlland Smith gave a demonstration of athletic exercisesand passed on to our runners 1ll8ny tips \\'hich he had learnedduring his cnreer. That the school might sec the film of theOlympic (;amcs, 1'v[r. Thorp very kindly g,l\ e up an c,'('ning- on'I·hich he had intended to call a meeting of the Dcbating , ociety.

Till December, when as usual our pages ",ill be devoted totheir achie,'ements, \\'oC have nothing to record of the acti,'itiesof our junior scholars. The \\'ork pl:occecling- at the Junior Schoolat present is ,,"ark in preparation for the exhibition and the ,JI1nualconcert, "hieh \l'e hope will be as succcssful as they havc becnfor the p:lst fi,'e or six years,

Debating Society NotesFollo,,·ing ClIsl·OIl1, lht.; Society cOl11menced its session with a

" Hat \ïght." A large audience listened amusedly to speakerson such, <Iried subjects as Sun-bathing, Horrors of the Country-side, I)yspcptic Capitalists, (~ood Food .

.\ second meeting was held 011 23rd April "hen Messrs. E.\\ïse, S. Katz, I\. Lewis proposed that .• l'ncler \-lodern Condi-tions it Diclalorship is lhe Best Form of Go,·ernment," and wereopposed by :\lessrs. S. :\ly'rs, f\. Lap, I. Ellefson. The mover.~of the mOlion follo',·ed the argument that the transaction of theaffairs of il modern community is a highly skilecl lask, calling ina pre-cminent degree fnr lhl' exercisc of those talents and faculties,courage, illtelligence, originality of thouo-ht ancl breadth of out-look b) \\ hich a few, <lnd only a fe"ll", members of Our species ineach generalion arc distinguished. And the lesson to be learnedfrom the" talkics " is th;tt it is as idle lO expect these qualitiesto he displayed by lhos\: whose power depends upon their abilityto appeal la the ;JI'erage ,oler, as it is to expect high art in aform of entertainment ,,·hich appei1ls only to the m·erage audience,

In opposition to these arguments the House heard thatdemocracy alone can gi,·e li:c and meaning to the political whole.It does nOL blister men's minds, but pern1its freedom of t.hought.Democracies are l_eace-Io,·ing nat.ions, paying 3 per cent. dividencls.on "ar sLOck and 50 per cent. dividends to munition manufacturers ..Democrilcy means government by the people, and only in follow-ing this icleal can true justice be made the basis of the state .

.\ colloquium was held on the 21st May and attendance \Vaslimiled lo t,,·ent)' senior boys. The discussion centred on· thequestion whether" Class distinction should be abolished." Thefollowing took n prominent part: Messrs. P. Shields, E. \Vise,S. i\lyers, J. Brink, E. Stewart, S. Katz, A. Fine.

THE \YYNBERG BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL :\IAGAZINE.

Many good points, such as the loss of cultural v~t1ucs, wereput forward, but the phenomenon of class-distinction waseventually found to be too varied and complicnled to be pressedwithin the limits of a night's discussion and, therefore, no finaldecision v..-as reached.

The met:ting was attended by Dr. G. Bobbins, "'ho againshowed his interest in the Society by acting as co-leader, and, assuch, served the colloquy ,'.:ell by guiding it along a broad aneldefinite chann.cl.

He Did His Best(A One-Act Play in Two Scenes.)

Scene: A motor-car of about six or seven years of age, alleJpcn LOurer.

There are four people in the car. The eh'iver is a small,wiz·ened man of an evidently hen-pecked type. He wears a peakedcap that almost wholly contains him. Beside him is a secondman-a g-uest. ]n the rear are the guest's wife and the dri,'er'swife-an inveterate .. back-seat" dri,'er. She is ,'cn' ,,'ellwrapped up in a large fur, and her i,lce, or what can be ;c("n ofjt, is intensely sour-looking.

In short, the pa. sengers are:-Driver: Cuthbert Mortenbrook.His wife: Belinda Mortenbrook.(;uests: Mr. anel Mrs. Melton .

.\-lrs. Mortenbrook: .... and so, of course, poor Ylrs.

Mrs . .\1elton: Yes, it does seem to be a quiet spot.Mrs. Mort. : Cuthy, stop the car. Come along, !\Irs. "!\lelton.

Cuthbert, will you bring- along the thermos and the cups and· thl'cakes <lnc1 the two rugs. M.r. Melton, you come on "head ",ithus.

The J,alahari sun beal mercilessly clown from a brassy skyon :l seil of sand c1unes, dOlled here <lnel there by low thorn trees,whose thin foliage olTerecl little "hade from the noonday sun.

T\\'o prospc:ctors plodded wearily along, onc a little in achanceof the other.

Thc prc\'ious evening Lhe_\' had last lasted theprecious .liquid, and then il had only been enough to rinse out theirmout hs. ~ 0\\' with tongues twice thei r norma I size, achinglhroats, and eyes \\'hich cheated them into belie,'ing that waterwas :Ibundant, each was thinking or thal nask of water which the~"possesscel. The front l1lan, \1 ho W<lS carrying it, was \\"()!lder:ngwhether he could not just h;l\'e a drop without the other knowingabllut it. He that was stumbling along behind was thinking lhatif he had all the water he would stand more chance of gellingout ali\·e. After ,entertaining this thought for aboul an hour ormore, he decided to put it into effect. Taking hi rel'olver fromits holster he quickened his steps until he was only about ten yardsin lhe rear, and fir·ed at lhe broad back before him. Just at lhatmoment his ,\'ould-be \"ictim stumbled, anel lhe bullel inslead offinding his heart, stnIck his left shoulder.

As he fell, the nask swung- round so that it was bet\\'een them,and a bull,et whi 'h followed 'hard upon the first passed throughthe Aask before killing the bearer.

The as ..assin rushed up just in time to sec the last preciousdrops di_appe~,ring in the thirsty sand.

About t\\'o hours later a deliriou. man wilh oracked lipsstumbled along and then ank clown on the sand, to crawl forwardon all fours for about fifty yard, and then collapse.

r\fter he had lain thus for some time, tortured by images ofoases and running water, a shadow, followed by se\"eral more,circled round the spot, and, with a hoarse croak, Nature'sscavengers dropped to earth and sat waiting for their victim to die.

More precious than Gold

Along- the sand the Arabs race,\\ïth captured tr·easure well supplied j

Their guides' far tracks they carefully traceAs into the night they ride.

And on into the early marn,The camels weary in their Hight;

The Arabs' hopes become forlorn-1\ 0 oases do they sight:.

Since the Treasurer's report is always an inelex to the pros-perity of a Cnion, \l'e hal'e decided to publish here the report readto the meeting by our Treasurer :--

1st June, 1937.Mr. Chairman anel Gentlemcn,

J have much pleasure in submilling a report on the Rel'enueand Expenditure of the L'nion for the past t\Vel\'e months.

The ba~ncc in the Bank al the close of the last financial year,amounted lO £29 Is. 9d., ",hel-eas the balance at present amo~ntsto £33 18s. 2d., leaving an excess of Revenue ol'er Expenditurefor the year of £4 165. 5cl. At a first glance, this would appear,;atisfactory but, on going into further detail, 'l'e find that thetotal amount received for subscriptions llmountecl to £29, whichrepresents II mcmbership of only 116. Although this i an increaseov.er last year II hen the total subscriptions amounted to £23 16s.,it seems absurd that \Vc cannot increa. e our membership con-siderab~y.

The next item of Revenue is the Receipts for the AnnualDinner, which amounted to £5 2s. against an Expenditure of[,6 155. I think you must aJJ reali!'e thatlhis is most uns:.1tisfactory,and 1 can only hope that at our next dinner then~ \Viii be a much1ncreased turnout.

I ilO\\' ",ish to refer to our Annual Dance which was held atthe Hotel Rio GrancJe, at i\[uizenberg. This, I am sure you "'ill:Ill agr (' \\'ith mc, was a great socinl success, and fortunately Iam able to report that finan ially it \\'a_ also successful. TheRel'enue amounted to [16 15s. against an expenditure of .[14 14s.

\Ve have again distributed t\Vo copies of the School Magazineto each member during the year, and the total exp.enditure unde)'1his he<1cJing amounted to £15 3s. 6d.
