AWARD OF C.B.E. TO HEADMASTER
The School was delighted to read, in the New Year’s Honours List for 1965, of the high honour bestowed on the Headmaster, Mr. W. H. Cooper. In a ceremony held shortly after at Government House, Auckland, Mr. Cooper was invested as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. All those concerned with the advancement of education in this country were pleased with his award which has brought new honours to his profession and to the School. In addition to his work for the School, Mr. Cooper has served for ten years as a member of the Council of the University of Auckland and has been Pro-Chancellor of the University since 1961. He is a well-known figure in cricket and hockey circles having represented Auckland in both sports. In 1955, he was manager of the New Zealand Cricket Team which toured India and Pakistan.
The School and Staff congratulate him on this well-deserved award, the first of its kind to be bestowed on a Headmaster of this School while still in office.
PLANNING FOR
No Auckland Grammar boy can be wholly unaware of the rich legacy he has inherited from the past. Twice daily, in Assembly, he looks up at the spacious Honours Board unparalleled in New Zealand schools, stretching across the entire front of the Hall and now overflowing along the sides, on which are recorded among other things the names of eighteen former pupils who became Rhodes Scholars. He sees the long list extending over eighty years in unbroken sequence, of the names of 430 pupils who have won University Entrance Scholarships from Auckland Grammar. On the magnificent central piece he reads:
In Enduring Commemoration of the
Right Hon. Sir George Grey P.C., K.C.B., D.C.L. who in 1850,
during his first governorship of this dominion, with characteristic concern
for the welfare and educational advancement of persons of all classes or races who may inhabit this colony,

MR. W. H. COOPER, C.B.E., M.A.

THE CENTENARY
by his wisdom and foresight endowed and founded this School.
And yet, living as he does at a time when there are twenty-five state post-primary schools in the Auckland metropolitan district alone, he seldom realises that for the greater part of its existence Auckland Grammar has been the only state secondary school for boys within a radius of ninety miles from the Auckland Post Office, an area which today supports a population of almost a million people.
This is the original state Secondary school of Auckland. From early colonial days it has been inextricably linked with the City, benefiting down the years from Auckland's growth and development and in its turn contributing to it.
When, as is the custom, the Headmaster at the beginning and at the end of each term at Assembly adds to the usual school prayer the passage commencing:
"Bless all those who have gone forth to their work in the world . . he refers to over 21,000 boys who have passed through the school. They are to be found in every

corner of the globe and several have won world-wide reputations. Their greatest contribution has, of course, been made in the City of Auckland itself, where in every phase of community life Auckland Grammar Old Boys are holding positions of responsibility. It is clear that celebrations worthy of this unique occasion in the life of the School must be planned for the centenary in 1969. While this is primarily the responsibility of the Old Boys, plans must be comprehensive enough to include parents, friends of the school and business and civic institutions who will undoubtedly wish to participate in this historic event.
You will recently have received a copy of the Auckland Grammar School Centennial Project Brochure giving you details of what is being planned.
Three things will be of great interest to you:
(1) The Centennial Project—the gift which will be made to the School at the Centenary. Here is a project with vision— something unique which will nourish and perpetuate the distinctive features and particular character of Auckland Grammar as you know it. It will have wide appeal as a fitting recognition of the contribution made by the School during its first hundred years.
(2) At the date of the centenary a History of Auckland Grammar will be published. It is being written by a master of the School, himself an Old Boy. It is hoped, that without sacrifice of popular interest it will be of such literary and historical merit that it will be a welcome addition to existing works on various aspects of the growth and development of Auckland during the last century. You will wish to have a copy.
(3) By 1969 most of you will have left School. See that your names and addresses are recorded on the Official Roll of Old Boys. The address is:
The Secretary,
Auckland Grammar Centennial Planning Committee,
C.P.O. Box 594,
AUCKLAND.
At the centenary we hope to gather together in one monster assembly all Auckland Grammar Old Boys. We look forward to seeing you at that function.
Arthur Nicholson,
Chairman.

MR. A. M. NICHOLSON, J.P., M.A

THE PROJECT

The Centennial Study and Recreation Centre will incorporate an extension to the library, an auditorium, a swimming pool, and a senior common room. The auditorium of 8,300 square feet will have permanent seating for approximately 400, catering for all kinds of dramatic, orchestral and choral performances, lectures, debates, films and large group activities. Adjoining this will be the swimming pool, 110 feet long and 40 feet wide. Above the pool will be the senior common room of an area of 1,448 square feet, to provide for the senior school an area for quiet activities, study, and entertainment on a small scale.

The school library, itself a Diamond Jubilee gift from the Old Boys, will be extended by 3,572 square feet. It will then be able to house 16,000 volumes and provide seating for 134. A mezzanine floor will add a quiet study area for senior pupils. An Exhibition Foyer, while acting as a connecting area for the various sections of the study and recreational facilities, will be used for educational and cultural displays. There will also be a cloister linking the senior common room to the auditorium. The total cost of this centre is expected to be approximately £150,000, to be raised by the Old Boys of the school.

The new Specialist Block — pouring the second stage.

SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY 1965
This year there have been several important changes in the appearance of the school grounds. The section of the motorway which has cut across what was once the lower ground is nearing completion with little more than final sealing and curbing to be done. Work is also progressing quickly on the Mountain Road over pass, and as soon as the bridge is finished the causeway will be removed, leaving open once again one of the city's main access routes. At the moment ii requires a long detour through either Mount Eden or Newmarket to approach the school from the city side of the motorway.
Even more satisfactory is the removal of the protective casing from the War Memorial which, apparently unharmed, again dominates the area beneath bluff and seems even higher than before by virtue of the deep cutting below.
At present the shortage of playing fields is still acutely felt. The old quarry behind the upper ground is rapidly filling, however, and should be in commission some time next year. This will be a relief to those teams which now practise in such cramped conditions.
The most important development this year has been the commencement of the new specialist block stretching from the Janitor's cottage to the tennis courts. The area once occupied by the tuckshop and by rooms Ol to 03 is now covered by deep concrete and a solid skeleton of scaffolding. Early 1967 is the scheduled opening date for this important addition

to the school s amenities, and if the present building rate is maintained, the block should be completed well on time—already concrete is being poured on the first storey up from the ground. Access to the playing fields is limited, and most classes must travel up Mountain Road. Nevertheless, a few hardy souls still run the gauntlet of scaffolding, stray timber, piles of builders' mix, steel rods, and cross by means of the one-time tennis courts.
The activity in this area has had little effect on the behaviour of the boys who have so far been able to avoid being immortalised in concrete. Rumour has it that on some occasions the escape has been of hairbreadth dimensions. Less dangerously, the building has provided much amusement for budding photographers who use it as an ever-patient model, and for those interested in the mechanics of an elevator for ready-mixed concrete or in the wonders of a device for settling the mixture pneumatically. It has even been anonymously suggested that the eager spectators be charged and the proceeds credited to the Centennial Fund !
Apart from the new coat of paint on the Science Block, the other improvements have taken place inside the main building. Several rooms have been newly painted, but more unusual is the appearance of a body carpet in B8. This has been laid as an experiment and has indeed done much to cut down the noise of moving feet and furniture. The outcome of the test is still awaited. Also worthy of note is the laying of linoleum around the entire B-floor corridor. This too has helped to reduce the inevitable noise of the changeover between periods and has brightened the appearance of the school considerably.

MR. BRACEWELL RETIRES
This year the retirement was announced of Mr. J. G. S. Bracewell, Second Master of this School.
As a boy in the 1920's Mr. Bracewell attended A.G.S. and later studied for his B.A. in History at Auckland University. After teaching for some time he joined the staff in 1938 but during the War from 1941, until 1945 when he returned to the staff, he served overseas in the Army. During his career at the School he has taught English, Maths, Phys.Ed. and History. From 1945 to 1958 Mr. Bracewell coached the first XV during which period Wilson Whineray, Kel Tremain, Keith Nelson and many other players who have since become prominent, played for the School.
At the beginning of 1960, Mr. Bracewell was appointed Second Master and while the Headmaster was away overseas for six months in 1961 he took over the management of the School. In 1963 he was awarded a Woolf Fisher Trust Fellowship on which he travelled to the U.S.A., Britain and Scandinavia seeing the methods and techniques of overseas schools.
Many changes have occurred during Mr. Bracewell's twenty-five years at A.G.S. The School has grown from a relatively small number of boys (894 in 1938) to today’s figure of nearly 1300. Because of this growth in numbers the physical aspect of the School has also changed. The building of the Science Block and the putting up of the prefabs, have taken place to keep up with the growing number of boys.
The school curriculum has been widened greatly also. The course has developed from one of Latin, French, English, Science and Maths with only a limited time devoted to History and Geography to one enveloping the different aspects of Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics), a larger number of languages (now including German and Russian) and the Commercial subjects as well.
There has also been an increase of the sports activities in which boys can take part. In 1921 the School fielded six Rugby teams and there was no Hockey or Soccer. At that time there were no intersecondary competitions in Athletics or Swimming.

Mr. J. G. S. Bracewell

Today Grammar fields twenty-one Rugby teams, eight Hockey teams and eleven Soccer teams. There was no basketball or badminton when Mr. Bracewell first started. Mr. Bracewell feels that because of this wider choice, boys are more attracted to sport.
Boys have enjoyed listening to other boys being admonished by Mr. Bracewell’s cynical wit, yet have dreaded lest the same should turn on them. His helpfulness and cheeriness have made him popular with all, and the School will miss him greatly when his measured steps are not heard in the corridor and his pipe cannot be smelt in A10.
STAFF NOTES
The great expansion in both secondary and tertiary education in New Zealand has inevitably occasioned many staff changes.
Appointments to the permanent staff at the beginning of the year were Mr. J. D. Hoskins, M.A., and two former Staff Members, Mr. M. Fairgray, M.A., and Mr. J. P. Millar, M.Sc., who returned to take up Positions of Responsibility in Modern Languages and Social Studies respectively. We were glad to welcome back Mr. Heeps after his overseas leave.
During the year Mr. L. Lucena, a member of the Staff

for thirty-five years, retired from teaching; Mr. J. B. Stevenson, Head of the Commercial Department, left to take up a lectureship at Auckland Teachers' College; Mr. K. B. Radford, Head of the Geography Department, was granted extended leave to assist with teacher-training in Sarawak; Mr. D. M. Hendl resigned from teaching to take up a position as a computer programmer; and Mr. D. A. West accepted a position in the Mathematics Department of the Auckland Technical Institute. Their places have been filled by Mr. P. R. Parry, A.R.A.N.Z., A.I.C.A., Mr. C. F. Gaze, M.A., Mr. H. E. Greig, B.A., B.Sc., and Mr. G. H. Bean, B.Sc. We are grateful to Mr. C. W. Gardiner, M.Sc., and Mr G. H. Aldridge, for assisting during Mr. Orange's absence overseas on his Woolf Fisher Travelling Fellowship.
At the end of the year, the Deputy-Principal, Mr. J. G. S. Bracewell, B.A., retires after twenty-eight years at the School. Mr. J. W. Feldon, B.A., who has been with us for the past five years is also retiring and Mr. P. A. S. Stein, B.Sc., who since his retirement in 1960, has held a long-term relieving position, will be severing a connection with the school which extends for more than fifty years. Mr. G. J. Ginever, M.A., is entering the Church; Mr. D. H. Parker, M.A.,

is taking up a post as Lecturer in English at the University of Waikato; and Mr. D. Elder is travelling overseas on leave.
Once again we have been fortunate to have had the help of Mr. Adams, Mr. Ingram, Mr. Innes, Mr. Lanigan and Mr. Nicholls who have continued as relieving masters throughout the year.
1964 SCHOLARSHIP RESULTS
In the 1964 University Entrance Scholarship examinations the school gained a record number of 14 scholarships. With a startling performance from both scholarship forms, seven boys were placed in the first 25 in New Zealand, and five members of last year’s 6A won scholarships, two of them high up on the Junior list. William Hopkins was placed 2nd for New Zealand followed by Roderick McDonald (4th), Alan Lee (11th), John Pemberton (14th) and John Gaeth (24th equal). All of these are now studying for B.Sc. degrees. George de Bres, top language student in 6A, gained 7th place, and this year is studying for his B.A. degree. Allan Bell (15th), also a 6A language boy, returned for a year in the upper sixth.

Back Row: A. G. Bell, P. F. Silvester, P. D. Gluckman, B. C. Allen, J. de Bres. Middle Row: R. M. McDonald, W. G. Hopkins, J. A. Gaeth, M. G. V. Bogle.
Seated: K. M. Guthrie, D. R. Brown, E. C. Kaulakis, J. R. Pemberton, A. J. Lee.

University National Scholarships were won by David Brown (53rd equal) and Barry Allen (84th equal), both of whom are doing B.A., L.LB. at University. Michael Guthrie and Edward Kaulakis (69th equal) are studying for B.Sc. degrees, while Gilbert Bogle (73rd), Paul Silvester (82nd equal), and Peter Gluckman (83rd) returned for a year in the Upper Sixth.
The rest of both scholarship forms, together with several members of 6 Science did equally well in gaining a record of 40 Credit Passes.

OLD BOYS IN THE NEWS
This year a large number of old boys have gained distinctions in their chosen fields:
Mr. D. A. Hamer has had the degree of Doctor of Philosophy conferred upon him at Oxford Universily. He was dux of this school in 1954 and 1955, and gained two University Junior Scholarships, graduating M.A. with Honours in History in 1961.
Mr. R. H. Cooper has been awarded a doctorate of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering. He secured a University Entrance Scholarship in 1957, a Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Scholarship in 1959 and a University Research Fund Fellowship in 1963. He is at

Mr. N. J. Rumsey of the D.S.I.R. has designed a camera for astronomy, possessing many advantages over those in current use. Dr. Pickering of the Jet Propulsion Lab. in Los Angeles is interested in the invention. Mr. Rumsey has also designed a marine beacon and an all sky aurora camera, used at the present time by several nations.
Mr. R. C. F. Savory has had the C.B.E. conferred upon him. He is the Chairman of the Harbour Board and was the chairman of the Board of Managers of Sedon Memorial Technical College from 1954 to 1956. He is a former deputy-mayor of Auckland.
Air Commodore T. J. M. de Lange has been awarded the C.B.E. (Military Division). He has previously received the Distinguished Flying Cross.

M. R. FARLAND

Farland, M. R. (Fritz).
This year the school was pleased to hear of ihe success of Mr. Farland, in becoming the first New Zealander to win the Sword of Honour at the Military Academy at Sandhurst.
He had a varied career at the school. He was in ihe school's annual production many times, the 1st XV Rugby for three years and was Captain in 1962. He was Deputy Head Prefect in the same year. He won the welter-weight boxing title in 1960, defeating G. Fenwick.
He left school as a Petty Officer in the Sea Cadets.

Since then he has spent two years training at Sandhurst, returning to New Zealand and Papakura where he is a second lieutenant. He has just returned from a six-week parachute training course, and is posted in the Special Air Service.
He found life over in Britain a wonderful experience, and he noticed especially the traditional aspect. He found that the transfer from the school's tradition to the tradition of Sandhurst was not marked, although Sandhurst was started in the eighteenth century as a private academy.
It combines strict military discipline with academic as well as military training. The equipment, he said, was first class and the training of a very high standard.
He finds that the British Army consists more of specific regiments, while the New Zealand army is broader in outlook and is not so traditional. However, our training methods are modelled on those of the British Army.
He is grateful to Grammar for giving him a lift towards his goal and for the help given by its traditions. He found that it compared very favourably with the numerous schools he visited over there.
His plans for the future are to continue his career and go overseas again.
OBITUARIES
Sir Vincent Meredith.
Members of the legal profession and Old Boys were saddened by the death of Sir Vincent Meredith Q.C. on 15 January this year. He was one of our most illustrious Old Boys, well-known in legal and sporting circles.
He attended the school, captaining the first XV and first XI until 1895 when he left to take up a job with the Customs Department. Studying law in his spare time he qualified as a barrister in 1905.
In 1915 he became a solicitor in the Crown Law Office and in 1921 was appointed Crown Solicitor in Auckland. Sir Vincent, then Mr. V. R. Meredith, gained a reputation as New Zealand's best and most feared cross-examiner. He always taught that this skill was acquired through study, it was not a natural talent. He described his task as Crown Prosecutor as more responsible than most people realised especially in a capital charge where one had to be scrupulously fair yet not weak.
Sir Vincent represented the Crown in many cases some of which were quite famous. He was created Knight Bachelor in 1952 and a Q.C. in 1957. Sir Vincent was also a great sportsman who excelled in rugby and cricket. He represented Wellington, has been manager of the 1910 All Black Team and was later a N.Z. rugby selector and manager for the 1935 team.

He has served and will serve as a prime example of a man who ascended to his high position through will and determination, combining his work with sport, achieving fame in both his career and sports activities.
Mr. W. I. Cawkwell, a leading Auckland surgeon died in October. He graduated from Otago Medical University in 1937 and became the first resident medical officer appointed to the Mater Misericordiae Hospital. In 1939 he left for England to specialize in surgery. Here he worked in various hospitals becoming a member of the Royal College of Surgeons before joining the army in 1942. Serving in the army until 1946 he became the commanding officer of a N.Z. hospital. He entered into practice as a private surgeon in 1948 and became a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons. For ten years Mr. Cawkwell was visiting assistant-general surgeon and later part-time visiting senior general surgeon at Greenlane. He had joined the territorials and was still connected with army medical work. In 1961 he was awarded the Efficiency Decoration.
Mr. Cawkwell, an accomplished pianist, also distinguished himself in hockey, playing for the school, Auckland University and Otago University. He was a N.Z. University hockey blue and played against the 1936 Ind ian team.
Mr. James Legatt, a former headmaster of Gisborne Boys and Christchurch Boys' High Schools, died in October. After graduating from the Auckland University he taught at the Auckland Grammar School, then in 1943, after serving in the army in North Africa, Greece and Crete, became headmaster of Gisborne Boys High School. In 1951 he was appointed headmaster of Christchurch Boys’ High School, a post which he resigned to become Director of Education in Western Samoa. Since 1963 he had been civil defence officer in Christchurch and was president of the Christchurch Branch of the Old Boys' Association.
Mr. H. B. Speight, an Auckland solicitor for more than fifty years, died in September. He passed through Auckland University qualifying as a solicitor in 1911. He served in France, where he was wounded, and for twenty years represented Auckland at Hockey.
In 1923 he captained a side to Australia. He was also an Auckland cricket representative.
The funeral of Mr. S. A. Cleal, an Auckland Crown Prosecutor and prominent sportsman, was held on 21 August. Mr. Cleal had served many interests and set a fine example in leadership. His common sense in matters of body, mind and character will be sadly missed.
Mr A. F. Bennett, of former Mayor of Mt Albert, died in June. Mr Bennett came to the school in 1989, leaving for Auckland University to study law which he practised for over fifty years.

FAREWELL FOR REPRESENTATIVE CRICKETERS
At a special assembly on the morning of 19th February, the school made a presentation to the two old boys selected for the New Zealand Cricket Team to tour India, Pakistan and England — Terry Jarvis and Ross Morgan.
In the course of his welcome, Mr. Cooper expressed the school's regret that John Sparling had been unable to go. After a brief account of the careers of both men the headmaster gave them his and the school's best wishes and said that all would follow their progress with keen interest. He hoped that the gifts which the head prefect and the captain of the first XI were about to present, would be found useful.
P.E. Pezaro said that he felt sure that the players would add to the lustre of the school and how we would enjoy basking in their reflected glory.
R. C. Hooton wished them every success on their tour and presented them with two silver plates.
Terry Jarvis thanked the school and gave a few words of advice to sports fans of the school. He commented on the ability of the A.G.S. to produce cricketers and ended with a note of praise for Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Bracewell.
Ross Morgan said that they would do their best for the school and thanked Mr. Stevenson, the headmaster and other masters for all they had done for them.

MR. J. B. STEVENSON
On 30th April, the school said farewell to Mr. Stevenson, head of the Commercial Department and manager of the first Cricket XI. A presentation of a silver tray suitably inscribed was made by Rex Hooton, captain of the 1st XI, after a few words from Bygraves, speaking on behalf of the junior teams. Mr. Stevenson wished the school the best of luck in the future and said that he would maintain a close contact with the A.G.S.
Before joining the staff of the school in the second term 1941, Mr. Stevenson had spent four years in the Auckland Savings Bank. He joined the Air Force in 1942 but did not go overseas. He rejoined the school staff in 1944 and remained with us until this year. During his early years at the school, he taught English and foreign languages until he was persuaded that a commercial course presented better opportunities. He began to take his professional accountancy exams in 1947, and, with these finished began teaching commercial subjects. For the last thirteen years these subjects have been Mr. Stevenson s main concern.
In 1951 he joined the staff of the Air Training Corps and continued to assist until the abolition of cadet training last year.
He coached both cricket and rugby teams until 1954 at which time he took over the coaching of the first Cricket XI from Mr Cooper. Mr Stevenson remembers many of the players who achieved high honours in cricket, such players as: Lance Matthews and John Sparling (from the 1955 team); Bill Playle (1956), who is off to Australia to further his experience; Ross Morgan (1956-7-8-9), recently in England with the

New Zealanders; Peter McGregor (1957-8-9); Hedley Howarth (1958-9-60-1); the late Alan Tohill (1959); Terry Jarvis and John Millener (both 1960-1); John Carson (1960-1-2-3), who is also off to Australia, R. A. Dykes (1961-2-3) and Mark Burgess (1959-60- 1-2).
During his time at the school many physical changes in the school grounds have been witnessed by Mr. Stevenson. They have included the erection of the science block, and the development of the rifle range into a Soccer ground. Mr. Stevenson also feels that there has been a change in the school's attitude to work resulting in a higher level of academic achievement than before.
Mr. Stevenson has left the staff to take up the post of senior lecturer in Commercial subjects at the Auckland Teachers' Training College, and the school wishes him every success in this new stage of his career.
At the assembly it was pointed out that over the last eleven years, Mr. Stevenson has given much of his leisure time to looking after the wickets and gear, arranging teams and umpiring, perhaps all day on Saturday. His untiring patience in this and in the management of the school s gear will be greatly missed.
Mr. Stevenson expressed the enjoyment and privilege he has had from his association with the school cricket teams. He gave a few pointers to the budding crickelers of the school, stressing the need for close concentration on the game, enjoyment in playing the game and sportsmanship at all times. All these three are essential.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MR LUCENA
On March 5th, a farewell was given to Mr. L. Lucena by the school on the occasion of his retirement after thirty years of service on the teaching staff. A presentation was made to him by the head prefect, Peter Pezaro, on behalf of the school. The presentation included four books, three by Arthur Bryant: Years of Endeavour", Years of Victory", "Age of Elegance", and one by Ray Doogue: The Sea Angler’s
Guide to N.Z."
Mr. Lucena came to the Auckland Grammar School as a schoolboy in 1921 from Wellington College. One of the smallest boys in the school, he entered 3A following the footsteps of Mr. NicholIs who preceded him by four years. In the Upper Sixth, having gone through the A' forms, he gained a John Williamson Scholarship. It is interesting to note that six pupils from the Upper Sixth of that year joined the teaching staff of the A.G.S. including Mr. H. O. Ingram.
Lucy", as he is known, went on to University, graduating B.A. (which he believes was harder then than now) in 1928. He taught at Kings Prep, for the first two terms of that year before coming to the A.G.S. in the third term. In following years, he took the lowest third, fourth and fifth forms for Latin and French. There was in those days a straight course of English, Latin, French, Science and Maths with History being taken by the 'Modern' forms. After the war he became interested in Geography.
Boys of later years will remember Mr. Lucena for his untiring work in the cadet battalion. He was first involved in 1933 before he took a commission in the 1st Battalion, Auckland Regiment, Signals Division, in 1940. He travelled to the Middle East and Italy and rose to the rank of Major in the course of the War.

MR. L. LUCENA

When he returned to N.Z. in the Rear Party in March 1946, he became Technical Advisor to the Education Rehabilitation Society. Mr. Lucena recalls that he
was met on the station by the teachers all asking him when he would return to the staff. As so many of the returned servicemen did, Mr. Lucena took advantage of the free trip around N.Z. Rejoining the staff, "Lucy" joined the book-room brigade with Messrs. Stein, Lee and Asher. There he stayed for the rest of his teaching career, doing some teaching in Geography.
The Free Text-Book Scheme', introduced in 1959, was found to be very cumbersome in our small book- room. What was and is needed to end the chaos caused at present by the return of text-books at the end of the year, is a larger area devoted to books and a special clerical staff to handle the stationery and text-books. The already chronic shortage of teachers makes this impossible at present. Mr. Cusack has taken over Mr. Lucena's task.
Former pupils who were in 6A Rugby will remember Mr. Lucena's coaching. He remembers clearly Noel Bowden, the ex-AII Black loose forward who was a member of one of his teams. That team scored 104 points, only 3 points being scored against them.
Another sport which Mr. Lucena helped to organise was swimming. He managed the swimming team for ten years from 1950 onwards, with Mr. Adams then Mr. Elder, until the introduction of the free text-book scheme began consuming his time. It was also in 1950 that the Cadet Corps broke away from the Auckland Regiment and he became Lieutenant Colonel in the Cadet Battalion and remained its Commander-in-Chief until 1963. During this time the Battalion won the Robert Fry Memorial Trophy in five successive years.
He was appointed Secretary to the Grounds Committee, a little-known committee which, as the name suggests, looked after the grounds—Mr. Crippen being in

charge of the garden, Mr. Bracewell of the football fields and the committee responsible for the mower.
He was elected to the Post-Primary Schools Advisory Committee in 1959. This committee is still in existence and Mr Lucena is still a member. It is now in recess.
His retirement will be spent dabbling", as he puts it,
"in the commercial world—a part time job" and fishing at Manly. While he is not fishing in his favourite spot, out in the Tiri Channel, he will be kept busy looking after the bach. The largest fish he has caught is an 801b. Mako Shark, measuring about six feet in length.
Asked if he remembered many notable pupils, he replied,
No, only one, Charlie Passmore — too big to forget."
He relates that once, while taking 5E Gen. for History in C3 (trying to teach them about the Reformation),
Mr. Mahon, the headmaster, walked in. Hoping to bring the light of understanding to these boy’s minds he proceeded to give a learned lesson on the causes and results of this phenomenon. At the end, he asked if there were any questions and then demanded, "Tell me what you know about the Reformation.
The boy stammered back, "Noth . . . thing, sir." Declaring that they were ignorant clots the head stormed out, swirling his gown, slamming the door after him only to be nearly pulled over by the gown which had been caught by the door.
The school wishes Mr. Lucena the best of health and luck in his retirement. His never-failing humour and inexhaustible repetoire of stories will be missed by staff and boys alike.
His retirement, together with those of Messrs. Stein, Adams, Ingram, Nicholls and Bracewell, will mark the end of one of the most formative eras in the Grammar School's history.
MR ORANGE ABROAD
Mr. F. N. Orange, Head of the Science Department, left in the first term to take up a Woolf Fisher travelling fellowship to visit the Physics Departments in overseas universities and colleges. After his departure, he travelled via Suva to Honolulu where he stayed for a short while. Here he visited the Punaho High School, a very exclusive college set in magnificent grounds. During his stay he went to the University of Hawaii which 12,000 students attend. The University maintains a regular personal contact with the mainland, and, despite being 2,100 miles away, organises up to two trips a year to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Mexico for competitions in basketball, football and athletics.
At San Francisco, the next port of call, three days were spent visiting Universities and other centres. Visits were paid to the Berkeley University and the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (a memorial to Dr. E. O. Lawrence, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1939) where a very high standard of work is main- tainec At this Laboratory, there is a Bevatron, a very large proton synchrotron, and seven large computers. The Physics Section alone has an annual budget of nine million dollars, a staff of fifteen, and twenty-five students. On the same site is being built the Lawrence Hall of Science which when complete will have a hall, library, Science enquiry section, lecture auditorium, science studio and closed circuit television. Mr. Orange was fortunate enough,

while in San Francisco to have lunch with Dr. Geoffrey Chew, an eminent nuclear physicist.
Los Angeles was the next scheduled stop, and here most of the usual sightseeing attractions such as Disneyland and the Huntingdon Library, where so many valuable works of art and literature are stored, were visited. During the four and a half day stay a visit was paid to the Californian Institute of Technology, better know as Caltec. Here there is a 1:5 staff to student ratio which results in a very high standard in Maths and Physics. A place of particular interest was the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he spent five hours being shown the different phases of the pro cessing of data from the space probes. Mr Orange lit up with enthusiasm when he spoke of the vast room* of computers and his meeting with Dr. Pickering.
From Los Angeles the next stop was Las Vegas. "It was pathetic to see these women drooling over the machines all day with handfuls of dimes, eyes bulging, waiting hopefully for the jackpot—and some getting it too!" Not a penny was spent on gambling before he and his wife departed on a 300-mile coacn trip to the Grand Canyon where fortunately there had been a fall of snow, a very rare and beautiful occurrence. The famed sunrise was enhanced by the snow and the whole panorama was highly impressive.

The magnet ring of the synchrotron at the Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago. It uses more power at peak than the entire city of Auckland.

The sightseeing was over for a while, and it was on to Chicago for a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry where there was an excellent display on the space programme. While in Chicago, the University and the Enrico Fermi Laboratory, where they have a chain-reacting atomic pile which was built during the War, were visited. Mr. Orange also saw the
Argonne National Laboratory for atomic research. Here there are five atomic piles and a great concentration of physicists. The Lab. is noted for the chemical production of plutonium for the atomic device dropped on Nagasaki.
Travelling East the couple paid a visit to the Lexington High School, about 100 miles from Cleveland. Mr. Orange had had correspondence with the Cultural

Exchange Club of this school for many years and had received an invitation to stay for a week with an American family. This gave me a good idea of American family life,'' he said. Also the visit gave him some new ideas on the running of a school. One aspect was particularly impressive — that of serving c hot, three-course meal for 35 cents a time, from the cafeteria at lunchtime. The well-equipped kitchen served this and made a profit of $5,000 each year.
Being a keen jogger and wishing to keep fit, Mr. Orange found that his running had to be done at the dead of night or in the early morning. At other times people think you're completely nuts, he added. At Lexington there was a 440-yard cinder track and this was used by Mr Orange during his stay, a feat noted by the local paper.
The next leg of the journey was to New York and the World's Fair, at which one day was spent. The auto (Ford) and the computer displays were particularly interesting. At the I.B.M. stand there was a computer which kept every daily newspaper heading from 1879 to the present day in its memory unit. The headings for the required day came out in the form of cheque-like slips of paper and all were correct, remarkable from a computer the size of an office desk. The Ford Foundation for Educational Research was also visited during Mr. Orange's short stay in New York.
In Boston, the next stop, Mr. Orange visited the University of Harvard and ihe Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At Harvard the Physics Department alone had 39 professors. The entire staff numbered 1,350 and there were about 6,500 students, 3,000 of whom were already graduates. This means a teacher/students ratio of 1:5 as at Caltec. At this University there is not such a concentration on one subject or one aspect of a subject as in New Zealand. Harvard and the M.l.T. jointly own and run the biggest electron accelerator in the world.
The next leg of the journey was across the Atlantic to London by VC 10. The journey from New York took six hours at a cruising speed of 700 mph.

A marvel of Swiss engineering. A three-storeyed Reception Centre, at the summit of Mt. Pilatus, 7,000 feet above Lake Lucerne.

The students’ car park and gardens at the Punaho High School, Honolulu.

In England, the established pattern of visiting schools and universities was resumed. At one school Mr. Orange visited, Dulwich College, the courses were much more specialised than in Auckland. For example, at Dulwich, only five boys took full mathematics and the next senior groups had nine and ten boys. This means that at Dulwich five out of 1,360 take advanced maths whereas the ratio is 128:1300 at A.G.S. The standards in physics are perhaps slightly better, but a boy cannot take both physics and chemistry as he can here. There would be twenty periods of physics a week with eight study periods and seven periods of English. Other schools visited, where similar situations obtained, were: Hampton Boys' Grammar School, Winchester College and Winchester County High School for Girls.
Mr. Orange also went to the Nuclear Power Station at Bradwell which, during its two years of operation, has produced more electricity from nuclear energy than any other single station in the world. He saw research into the Laser ray being carried out at the National Physics Laboratory where there was also an exhibit of computor translations. Visits were also made to the Rutherford Laboratory and the Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the visit was the trip to the Nuffield Foundation where a project on methods of teaching science was being done. Simplified it comes down to the proverb: Hear and forget, see and remember, do and understand and will be presented to teachers to use as Ihey see fit.
With the return half of the trip beginning, more time could be given to lourism. New Zealand house was v sited and there was Regent's Palace and Kensington Park to jog through. Owing to an airways strike, Paris had to be omitted from the itinery, but Switzerland turned out to be the scenic highlight of the trip with Lake Lucerne and the cable car up Mt. Pilatus. Rome, Bankok and Hong Kong were all spots visited during the journey home.

HAUTURU or LITTLE BARRIER ISLAND
Seven boys from 6 Sc. B. made a biological field trip to the island in the August holidays under Mr. Jepson. The purpose was to do as much ecological study as possible. There was a good deal of organisation to be done beforehand for permits, transport, accommodation, food and meal planning. Eventually, it was arranged that HMNZS Ngapona would take us there and pick us up a week later. Commanders Wadham and Thompson and their crews were most helpful and we would like to express our appreciation.
We left Auckland on Friday 3rd at 6.30 p.m. and reached Leigh at 10.15. Leaving at 5 a.m., we were off the East Landing just at dawn. The Ranger, Mr R. H. Blanshard, and his family were all there to meet us. Getting ashore in a small dinghy on that boulder beach was quite an experience. It does not take a very big sea to prevent landing at all. The first impression — ruggedness. No wonder it is called the Island of many peaks.
The bunkhouse was very comfortable — with electric light and a small wood stove. The cooking and duty roster was soon working, and planning the days began and (with apologies to Churchill) never was so much eaten by so few in so short a time.' So much so, that Mr. Jepson was toying with the idea of half rations in case we could not get off. However, the initial menu held and there was a small surplus. The meat supply was supplemented by two fishing trips with David Blanshard who is at King's.
The first expedition was to the summit and we did a vegetation transect on the way, with some bird observation as well. The view from the top was magnificent and we could even see the School through binoculars. One can only feel a great respect for the foresight of the earlier settlers in providing such a sanctuary. It is a classic study of regeneration and should be jealously guarded.
It was soon evident that we could not go very far afield and get anything solid done. An exploring trip on Tuesday along the boulder beach, to and up Awaroa Stream, then by compass across the heads of Hut Bay and Lamb Bay Creeks and down into Tirikikawa Valley suggested that this last stop was the spot for fresh water ecology. This was done next day, accompanied by Mr. Blanshard who gave much information on the birds. Not many people have seen stitchbirds as we did. The next project was the boulder beach ecology at the Pinnacles on the west coast. Two transects about two chains apart were done. One had a freshwater stream divulging under the boulders. Unfortunately the swell prevented any low tidal zone being done.
Our evenings were spent in stalking kiwis and blue penguins very successfully till about 9 p.m. Thereafter, over cards, it was clearly shown that N.Z. has a non-stop Hit Parade. The vocabulary for and against the performers seems more difficult than in Biology, having no Latin derivation. The Blanshards gave us a very interesting colour slide evening on Wednesday and an excellent supper.
There was some excitement when we learned that Capt. Ladd was due at 8 a.m. one morning. The landing

was a masterpiece in a heavy swell and the takeoff was spectacular. On Friday the weather reports began to have more significance for us and it was a relief to hear Ngapona on the air at 10 p.m. from Kawau The pick up was for 5 a.m. which meant pre-cooking breakfast and lunch. We had scrubbed out on Friday afternoon and there was little to do on Saturday except the final packing. We got off from the Wesl Landing, landed Tong at Leigh and reached Auck land at 2.30 p.m.
People would like to know what Creighton was thinking about when he was gazing out to sea, "a la Garbo" in the twilight. Was he working out the physics ol Tong's descent from his top bunk at 2 a.m. without parachute, or Henwood's speakers, or Wong's bongo drums? Perhaps, McPherson, Vinton and Haydon left the answer in the little tin on the summit on theii second trip, or maybe Mr. Jepson s hazardous journey over the rocks complete with large tins was not jus, a time for meditation but a date with the out-goina tide? *
Our sincere thanks must go to the Blanshard Family for their friendliness and help, the milk they provided and identification of unique botanical specimens.
Altogether it was a happy and worthwhile week which bears repeating.

VISIT OF MR. JOHN DEVITT
On Friday, March 28th, the school was pleased to welcome Mr. John Devitt, the Australian swimming coach and holder of the World 100-yards freestyle record.
In his welcome, Mr. Cooper mentioned Mr. Devitt's important contribution to this sport—as both swimmer and coach, noting particularly the long time for which Mr. Devitt s world record stood unbeaten.
Mr. Devitt remarked in his talk to the school that the main attribute needed in any sport is a positive attitude. The harder a man works at the beginning of his career the better he will do later. New Zealand has strong talent by international swimming standards, but seems to suffer from an inferiority complex. This is incomprehensible while we have swimmers of the calibre of David Gerrard and Vivian Haddon. This problem is not peculiar to New Zealand, for Mr. Devitt has seen signs of this thinking in Australia as well.
In speaking of Olympic games and other international fixtures, Mr. Devitt deplored the ever-increasing expenses that national pride is placing on governments for the simple purpose of eclipsing previous meetings. He cited the swimming stadium which cost Tokyo some £2’/2 millions to build, and then a like sum to pull down. Yet this enormous cost is offset by the games' contribution to international understanding, for times and performances are a world language which is divorced from the speech of nationalism and politics.
One of the greatest experiences we can have is that of representing our country in sport.
Mr. Devitt feels that everyone should learn to swim— even if just sufficiently to stay out of trouble. There should be a minimum standard of 25 yards even at primary school levels. It is to be hoped that many of the able swimmers who heard Mr. Devitt's remarks will continue seriously in their training, and will know the experience of representing their country.

VISIT OF THE ROYAL N.Z. NAVY BAND
On the 14th June the school was most fortunate to have an unusual visit from the Royal N.Z. Navy Band. This group of very talented musicians was due to arrive at morning assembly, however, the bus driver was unaware of the cut in Mountain Road and had some difficulty in finding his way around the detour. The school was finally called to the hall at about 9.40 a.m. and a most enjoyable concert began.
Band-master Ball introduced each item on the programme after telling the school somethinq about the dual nature of the band as light orchestra and as military band. The first section of the concert was devoted to orchestral music in which the players displayed a full, warm tone and no little skill. The "Spanish March," and a selection from "The Gondoliers" opened the programme with a fine contrast of mood. Following this was a very impressive display of trumpet virtuosity in Leroy Anderson’s “Bugler’s Holiday.” The solo part was taken by three trumpeters and required delicate timing and precise note-work.
A selection from Lerner and Loewe's "My Fair Lady" made a most pleasing conclusion to the first half. The pieces were arranged as a medley and the bandmaster is to be complimented on the clever arrangement of the music together with the sense of continuity it conveyed.
During a brief interval the orchestra transformed itself into a military band. The change was almost unbelievable — violinists suddenly became woodwind players while the double-bass was replaced by a tuba. The bandmaster explained that each musician had a considerable range of instruments, both orchestral and band, and that each man occupied roughly the same tonal position within the group whether the programme was military or orchestral in nature.
The second half began with a rousing march selection including “Tunes of Glory" and the Overture to “Orpheus in the Underworld" by Offenbach, specially arranged for military band. A group of pieces from “State Fair" concluded the programme and the head prefect thanked the band on behalf of the school. The band had produced o very fine volume of sound in a hall noted for its poor acoust'cs and, if the meosure of applause is any indication, had given a good deal of genuine enjoyment as well.
PRESENTATION OF RUGBY CAPS
On Friday, 16th July, representatives of the Old Boys Association attended the afternoon assembly to present caps to the First XV. This date was chosen because of the Grammar v. King's match to be played the following day.
Mr. G. O. Wiles, President of the Association, spoke first. He expressed his pleasure at being present on such an occasion, praised the school team on its performance during the season, and noted with regret that in his own days at the school he had just missed winning his rugby cap. It was, he said, the enthusiastic support of the school that maintained the fine standard of its senior teams. In all, some four hundred boys, almost a third of the total roll, were playing rugby for the school. He then remarked on the strong formative influence of the First XV as an institution, saying that no possessor of a rugby cap had ever let down his school or failed in his chosen vocation. The school had played King's in 129 games, had won 77, lost 40 and drawn 12, and Mr. Wiles expressed

his hope that a further win would be recorded in the match to be played that weekend.
Wilson Whineray, Captain of the 1965 All Black team to play South Africa: I am sure you will find that
wherever you go in rugby, there will never be a more memorable occasion than the presentation of School Caps.'' Mr. Whineray wished the team luck for the following day and advised players against too many technicalities or too much sunning—"Games are won more by strength and honest effort.'
The caps were then presented by Mr. Whineray assisted by the team captain, R. J. Whatman. After the presentation, Mr. Cooper thanked our guests on behalf of the school and the team, and read a telegram from the Canterbury Branch of the Old Boys' Association wishing the First XV luck in the match.
ALL BLACK REPRESENTATIVES
The school was again well represented in the test series against South Africa. Wilson Whineray concluded an outstanding career by leading the All Blacks to victory in three of the four tests and Kelvin Tremain distinguished himself by scoring a try in each of the first three games. Unhappily dogged by injury, Malcolm Dick was able to play only in the Second Test at Christchurch.
Next year, Wilson Whineray will retire. His great ability as a player and captain will be missed by Auckland and New Zealand teams alike.
FORM 5A (1924) REUNION
For the forty-first time, the members of 1924 5A gathered in the headmaster’s study and masters' common room for their annual reunion. Those present were Messrs Addis, Anderson, Barr, Bean, Black, Cooper, Feldon, McCarthy, Rae, Bothville, Smith, Stewart, Watts and Woodhams. Mr and Mrs K. Dellow and Mr and
Mrs P. Stein were also present. As this was a ladies’ night, many of the ex-pupils had their wives with
them.
After dinner in the masters’ common room, the roll was called, and all those present outlined their achievements during the past year. Letters were received
from those members unable to attend. The two representatives of the present 5A, L. Knight and R. White- law, spoke on the academic and sporting aspects
of their class respectively.
SCIENCE EXHIBITION
At the Sixth Annual Auckland Secondary Schools' Science Exhibition held this year, the school was represented in many classes, although the number and finish in presentation of its projects was not up to the mark of previous years. There were record entries in all sections, and the judges found the general standard very high, laying particular emphasis on the methods of preparation.
A third former, J. D. Collins, won a well-earned second prize in the Junior Individual (Physical Sciences) section, with his eye-catching model made out of matchboxes entitled, "Menace II—Noughts and Crosses Computer." His exhibit showed systematic and patient preparation.
The school also had a success in the Senior Group of the Natural Sciences section, where H. A. Dickey and G. J. Blaiklock of 6 Special were awarded a Very Highly Commended Certificate for their entry, "A Social Survey of the Thames Region." This survey involved many hours of background research and patient enquiry into many topics from transport to labour, and the exhibit showed mature restrained analysis.

The grimness of trench warfare.

ANZAC DAY — FIFTY YEARS AFTER

On Sunday, 25th April, the usual Anzac Day service was held at the school before a crowd of Old Boys,
parents and pupils of the school. This was the fiftieth anniversary of Anzac Day. The school song was sung and prayers were said by the Headmaster, after which a hymn was sung before the lesson was
read by the head-prefect, P. E. Pezaro. After the
second hymn, an address was given by Mr. Graham Speight, a prominent Auckland lawyer whose brother gave his life in the Second World War. The “Recessional” was sung before two boys, W. Spring and P. E. Pezaro, marched with the wreath outside and laid it on the Memorial. As this ceremony took place, the “Last Post” and the “Rouse” were sounded by the trumpeters. With the National Anthem, the assembly was dismissed and parents and Old Boys went thoughtfully home. Mr. Speight chose as the
subject of his address "The Lesson of Anzac”:
This is the Fiftieth Anniversary of Anzac Day, and elsewhere in the English speaking world, proper tribute is being paid to the services rendered by men of our country in all the great wars of this century. My purpose in speaking to you this morning is not to cover that wider field, but to speak of what I believe 1o be the significance of this service in this hall.
The people who are here today can be regarded as consisting of three different groups. There are those who went to the First World War, or who remember it, and they are the older generation whose association with the School primarily relate to the old Symonds Street days. Then there is the middle group: those who attended this School, and sat in this hall between the First and Second World Wars, and those that are associated with them. And thirdly, there are the more recent generations of those boys who have attended school since 1945, or who are at school today.

I speak especially from the point of view of the middle group, because that is my age bracket, and I address myself on the significance of this Service chiefly to the boys of the School. But I hope that what I say is valid for us all.
What is the lesson of Anzac? Particularly, what is the lesson of those who sat in this hall, on those very forms that you now occupy, 20 - 25 - 30 - 35 years ago, and went from here and died in the four corners of the earth?
The lesson is not merely to remember the tragedy of it all. It would be a poor soul who is not revolted and appalled by a contemplation of the waste and futility of the loss of those young lives. If we used this day only for remembering the horror and the heartbreak, then we could miss the point. There are hundreds and thousands of well-meaning people in the world today who speak of the danger of a conflagration, and they clamour that we should immediately disarm ourselves and encourage the countries friendly to us to disarm in their turn. And to strengthen their argument, they tell us of the horrible consequences of armed conflict. But the horror and the suffering of war is not something that people have just learned about for the first time. If those who went to World War I, and there are many such here today, went, as I believe they did originally, with a spirit of idealism, they soon learned otherwise. The so-called glory of war perished with them on the hills of Gallipoli, and in the trenches of France fifty years ago. If the well-meaning pacifists of the 1920's and 1930’s did nothing else, they convinced those who were to go to World War II that what awaited them was agonising and hateful.
The point is that these young men from this and other schools, knew this truth. They were completely aware of the perils and the agony that lay ahead—but they were still prepared to go, and to face these abomi

nations in the cause of freedom. They went because a man is a noble, not a selfish being. They went because a man who is a man, will do his duty and adhere to what is right, even though he knows the cost. And that is the lesson of Anzac which we must remember today.
For tragic problems still beset us. In the international field, the cause of freedom is once again menaced. Men and nations of proven integrity, are blackguarded as "Imperialists" by foreign leaders whose own policies are founded on a code of world conquest and domination. Would the easy and supine adoption of unilateral disarmament avail against such as they? In the world of business, the way of honesty and integrity seems to be attended by burdens which can be avoided by moce dubious practices, and in the personal sphere it often requires courage and steadfastness to resist the temptations and attractions of immorality or easy living. In
any of these fields it would be easier to say that the path of duty will be unpleasant or unprofitable.
So I say the lesson of Anzac is spelled out by those whom we remember today:—
Do not turn aside from doing what you know is right merely because to do so will require sacrifice or hardship."
If you know what is right, and fail to do it because it may personally be unpleasant or unrewarding, then you have not learned the lesson.

THE PASSING OF SIR
Sir Winston Churchill, one of the greatest statesmen of this century, died on 23rd January, 1965. As a leader in both war and peace, his influence was felt in every part of the world. Yet it is not simply in the sphere of politics and international leadership that he will be remembered, for his genius extended to writing and painting, winning for him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953.
Combining wit with an intense humanity, Churchill was well-fitted to become the bluff emblem which united Britain and the Commonwealth in the Second World War. These were his “finest hours” and he was content to be judged on them.
The Venerable Archdeacon Martin Sullivan, who is Archdeacon of London and a distinguished old boy of the School, was privileged to read the lesson at Sir Winston’s funeral. It was also his duty as Canon in Residence at St. Paul’s Cathedral to make the week-long arrangements for an event which had been planned years before. Miss M. Sullivan has made available to “Chronicle” her brother's own account of a glittering and majestic occasion which moved deeply all those who took part in it.
There were people who had taken up their position outside St. Paul's and slept the night there, although it was bitterly cold and rain had been falling. The morning dawned clear and dry. I went over to the early Celebration at 8 a.m. which had been preceded by Matins at 7.30, and we had rather a good route because we could go through one or two back paths and over the new sites of buildings to our home,

We all know the first verse of John McRae’s poem In Flanders Fields the Poppies grow"—but the truly important verse is the last—
To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though Poppies grow In Flanders fields.
And so, to enable us all to "hold high the torch", may I ask every year that we refresh our memories by coming faithfully to this very wonderful service in our old School. Pay particular attention to the very symbolic part of the service which now follows, because from the gathering two of your boys step forward in their prime. And they take up the wreath and they go oway from amongst their fellows. And their steps echo down the corridor and fade away as they march resolutely outside. And they seem to be heard no more. But we know that they go to stand at the Memorial among the names of those we loved. And then the bugle tells us that the duty of lowing the wreath has been done.
During that part of the ceremony, would you like to think, as I always do, of those others who marched so firmly from amongst us, knowing what they had to do; whose footsteps have faded down the corridors of history until they seemed to have vanished from us? During the silence which follows, think of the record of their names upon that Memorial And when the bugle sounds the Rouse, will there be one of us so brave as to say—"They are not here"?

WINSTON CHURCHILL

Sir Winston Churchill leaves Downing Street.

so we didn't have to pass through the vast crowd that was assembling in front of the Cathedral. I came into tne Dean's vestry and robed. I then had to go down to the West Door ahead of the Dean and Chapter in order to meet the Prime Minister and Mrs. Wilson. I did that just a few minutes before 10 o'clock. And then all the various activities in connection with the whole service began, and I would just like to recite them to you in the sort of order in which they occurred.

The Dean and Chapter accompanied by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the College of Minor Canons (there are four of them), left the Dean's aisle and went to the West Door of the Cathedral. When we got down there at 10 a.m., within four minutes the Speaker, preceded by the Mace, arrived and we greeted him and his procession then formed up consisting of a Verger, a Doorkeeper, a Sergeant at Arms carrying the Mace, the Speaker himself, the Trainbearer, the Speaker's Secretary and the Speaker's Chaplain. And then right on the heels of that came the next procession, that of the Lord Chancellor, again with a Verger, his permanent Secretary, the Sergeant at Arms, the Purse Bearer, the Lord Chancellor, the Train Bearer and the Lord Chancellor's Private Secretary.
And then just shortly afterwards at 10.15 we greeted the Heads of State. These, I want to explain, are not the Prime Ministers or High Commissioners. They are the people who are, so to speak equivalent to Kings and Queens. At the West Door we had the honour and privilege of meeting the following—the Prince of Lichtenstein, Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan, Prince Bertil of Sweden, the Crown Prince of Ethiopia, the President of Zambia, the President of Uruguay, the President of Israel, the President of Iceland, the President of the French Republic, the Grand Duke of Luxemburgh, the King of The Hellenes, the King of Norway, the Prince of the Netherlands, the Queen of the Netherlands, the King of the Belgians, the King of Denmark. They were then taken in procession, headed by one of the Minor Canons and given their seats up near the front, in full sight of the Catafalque.
At 10.23, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the other members of the Royal Family appeared. The Princess Margaret, the Earl of Snowden, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Richard of Gloucester, Colonel Sir John Aird (representing the Duke and Duchess of Windsor), Prince William of Gloucester, the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Kent, Princess Marina, Princess Alexandra, the Hon. Mrs Angus Ogilvy and the Hon. Angus Oglivy, Prince Michael of Kent and Captain Richard Abel Smith (representing Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone). We greeted them and they then went into the Chapel of St. Michael and St. George which is the first Chapel on the right as you com'e* in the great West Doors and turn right. At 10.25, the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs arrived. The Sheriffs were immediately taken into their places in the Choir, because the Lord Mayor has a stall in the Choir, East of the Choir itself, half way up between it and the High Altar. The Sheriffs took their places, but the Lord Mayor remained because it is his privilege on these occasions to go down the steps and meet the Queen and bring her so that she can be greeted by the Dean and Chapter. And at 10.30 the procession took place within the Cathedral itself.
The Choir came into its place, followed by the Honorary and Deputy Minor Canons, these are not members of the College, but are people who take services and sing them on occasions when Minor Canons might be away. The Archbishop of York, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Archbishop of Wales and the Primus of Scotland and the Bishop of Winchester (because he is the Principal of the Order of the Garter) went in, in procession, and took their places in the Choir in the ordinary seats. That procession was no sooner in place, than the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

with the Prince of Wales arrived, and we had the honour of meeting them right outside on the top of the West steps. They came in, met the Bishop of London, then they met the Archbishop of Canterbury and they proceeded to the Chapel of St. Michael and St. George. And as soon as the Queen had come in and had gone into the Chapel, then the Queen's procession was marshalled, and this is the order of it: A Verger, Crossbearer, the College of Minor Canons, a Verger, the Archbishop's Chaplain bearing the Cross of Canterbury, the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop then went straight up to a stall that is provided for him. It is a domestic stall which is given to him by favour on the South side. He then took his seat.
The other procession following this was with the Dean's Verger leading, then the Chapter Clerk. The Registrar to whom I have already referred; the Bishop's Chaplain bearing the Crozier and then the Bishop of London came supported by the Dean and Capter. On his right walks the Dean. On his left walked the Senior Canon and behind him walk the other Canons. Behind him walked the Lord Mayor bearing the Mourning Sword which is brought only on these occasions. Then came the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh together, followed by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the other members of the Royal Family, who were all taken in and given their seats. The Dean and Chapter bowed the Queen into her seat. This of course was a remarkable departure from ordinary procedure, the Queen giving precedence to the members of Sir Winston's family who were to come in after her. At that point I did not join their process;on, although I normally would with the Dean and Chapter, because I had the responsibility of waiting then on the West steps for the Coffin to be brought in. And as I went out, the great West Doors were flung open and I stood on the steps.
I found this a tremendously moving moment. I looked down Ludgate Hill and saw throngs and throngs of people. In the far distance the procession was well on its way, the gun carriage borne by the Royal Navy, the bands playing, and you could hear coming through the haunting melody of Chopin’s Funeral March. At that point various people started to come out of the Cathedral in order to take up their positions. The Pursuivant, At Arms, the Bearers of the Insignia, the Heralds, ihe Kings of Arms, Garter King of Arms, and then the Pall Bearers, and it was very moving to watch these famous men who were links with the present and with the past. When we think about who these people are, we shall find many distinguished names among them. There was Earl Mount- batten who actually was walking with the procession and who joined us afterwards. Field Marshal Alexander of Tunis, Earl Attlee, Lord Ismay, Mr. Harold Macmillan, the Hon. Sir Robert Menzies representing the Commonwealth. They walked down the steps and out to the South side of the Forecourt, up to which the Gun-carriage came slowly and stopped. Then the actual bearers, the Brigade of Guards, lifted this tremendously heavy coffin and with very slow steps began to move into the Forecourt itself. The bearers turned right, the Earl Marshall took up his position and they moved along the Forecourt, turned sharp right and up the steps. And then as they came up the steps I turned, the Pursuivan's At Arms and others came in behind me and we entered through these magnificent West Doors of St. Paul s, and as we oroceeded up the aisle the Choir began to sing The Sentences set to music by Croft and Purcell. I might

say at this point of course, that what we were doing was beginning the first part of the funeral service. The same service that would be said over any commoner was now to be said over this great commoner, the West portico became for the time being the lych- gate and we were bearing him in order that we might begin the funeral service in the ordinary way.
I cannot tell you what it felt like to be in this mighty procession up this long aisle of St. Paul's, which for this occasion was brilliantly lit. On each of the pillars there were two TV sets with closed circuit so that people could see what was happening. As soon as we came in, of course, they were switched off. They were there for people who couldn't see because of pillars and were to be put on throughout the whole of the service. And up the aisle we went while The Sentences were being sung, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. I know that my Redeemer liveth. We brought nothing into this World, and it is certain we carry nothing out. Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not Thy merciful ears unto our prayer." And then, as we came in, I mounied the steps of the Chancel, stood and faced the West and this long procession came into place.
The coffin was placed on the bier. The Pall Bearers and others took up their position and then when everything was ready they turned and took the r seats, and everybody in the Cathedral was in his position. I then was conducted to my stall in the North side of the Cathedral opposite the Dean. The service began with the hymn Who would true valour see." All the hymns had been chosen by Sir Winston's family because they were his favourities. Whilst the hymn was being sung, the Dean of St Paul's, Dr. Matthews, went to the pulpit to read a Bidding which he had composed himself. He had known Sir Winston of course over the years.
It was a fine Bidding and I will quote it here—"Brethren we are assembled here, as representing the people of this land and of the British Commonwealth, to join in prayer on the occasion of the burial of a great man who has rendered memorable service to his country and to the cause of freedom. We shall think of him with thanksgiving that he was raised up in our days of desperate need to be a leader and in- spirer of the nation, for his dauntless resolution and untiring vigilance and for his example of courage and endurance. We shall commit his soul into the hands of God, the merciful Judge of all men and the giver of eternal life, praying that the memory of his virtues and his achievements may remain as a part of our national heritage, inspiring generations to come to emulate his magnanimity and patriotic devotion. And, since all men are subject to temptation and error, we pray that we, together with him, may be numbered among those whose sins are forgiven and have a place in the Kingdom of Heaven, to which may God by His grace bring us all.
Silence was kept for a space and then the Dean quoted the Scriptural sentence from the Prayer Book, the Burial Office, then a Collect and then the Collect for Easter Day. And then came a moment of inspiration when we sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic, that was sung superbly by this mighty congregation. There must have been 4000 people in the Cathedral. And under the Dome at this moment all the leaders of the Western World were assembled. We shall never see, I imagine, such a gathering in one place in our lifetime again. And just before the hymn ended I was conducted to the Lectern to read the Lesson. It was the passage in the Burial Office, but it was

shortened. I Corinthians XV beginning at verse 20. To me, if I may say so at this point, it was an unforgettable moment, and I only hope and pray that I read it in the way that the occasion demanded. We then sang the hymn Fight the Good Fight to the old tune. Then the Minor Canon led us in the prayers of the Burial Office, finishing with the Prayer of St. George. The Choir then sang in haunting and unforgettable cadences, the Contakion to the Kiett Melody— "Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints; where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing,- but life everlasting." And then the Archbishop of Canterbury went to the High Altar, said the Collect for Easter Even, followed by the Grace.
We stood for the National Anthem, and as it concluded, a trumpeter in the Whispering Gallery at the West end of the Dome played the Last Post, followed after a brief silence by the Reveille played from the West Gallery, at the far end of the Nave over the West doors. Then the Dead March" by Handel, and as it began we moved out into our places. Next the
hymn O God, Our Help in Ages Past." We turned
and came down the aisle, out again to the West Doors and a mighty crowd of people was awaiting us. This superb pagentry was of course dominated right through by the utter simplicity of the Burial Office.
We came to the West Door, saw the coffin down, watched it being placed back on the gun carriage, took our leave of the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, and the Queen Mother. We saw all the
Heads of State and others go, and we returned then
through the Dean's Aisle to the Vestry in order to take off our. robes and go home.
It is impossible to describe this service adequately. It was like a sacramental moment. St. Paul's is a magnificent place. Immediately you open the West Doors and look through you have an unbroken line to the East. So many other Cathedrals are broken by a screen, but St. Paul's does not have that impediment and the movement was splendid. There wasn't a hitch from beginning to end. There will never be another service like this. This was the close of an epoch. This was the end of an era. This was a moment when not only the whole British Nation and the British Commonwealth but the whole World was given an opportunity to express its feelings, not only about this very great man but about all the events which were the purpose of his leadership, and every one of us was conscious that we were able to honour him in this way in the moment of his death, because of what he had done.
The Catafalque remained in position over Sunday and thousands of people streamed through St. Paul's to see it and attend the services. We decided at 6.30 to have a sort of popular Memorial Service. The Cathedral was packed to the doors and the Dean preached a superb sermon. He asked me if I would read the Bidding again with some slight alteration, which I did. I read the Lesson, Ephesians VI, v.v. 10-20 which, the Dean explained in his Sermon, was the last piece of Scripture read by Sir Winston when he had attended St Paul's for the last time. The Dean worked on the theme "Man of Destiny, Man of Providence." And he said a man of destiny might be a great man, but he could be a disastrous man because he would be concerned with his own power. A man of providence on the other hand was greater than a man of destiny because he worked for the good of his people and for the Glory of God."

Tony Steele and Roger Reynolds

Tony Steele, a member of this year’s Upper Sixth form, has been chosen to represent New Zealand at the 1966 New York Herald Tribune World Youth Forum. Pictured with him is another of the six finalists, Roger Reynolds, also of the Upper Sixth. While in America for the three- months’ stay until March of next year, Tony will attend local schools, make two field trips in the north-eastern states and attend a conference. Here is his prize-winning essay:

NEW ZEALAND’S ROLE IN TODAY’S WORLD
It is in a rapidly shrinking world that New Zealand must act her role. For with the tremendous advances in communications and travel New Zealand s geographical isolation has ceased to have any significance. The saying "all the world s a stage has never been truer than it is today. New Zealand must adopt a positive outgoing national character and make her presence felt among the rest of today s nations.
Politically and socially, New Zealand's role is that of a text book for the rest of the world. For New Zealand is a country relatively little troubled by problems of foreign policy or empire, and is therefore able to concentrate on political and social improvements.! Through the absence of any serious form of class

distinction, for example, it is possible for New Zealand to attain a great degree of political stability. The two main parties while nominally conservative and socialist are at bottom very similar, and as a result there is a resistance to dictatorship in any form, particularly that of communism.
New Zealand, together with Australia, is the representative of democracy in the South-West Pacific. Our nearest neighbours are those whose governments are in some way autocratic. New Zealand's role here, then, is to balance the autocratic influence in South- East Asia, to demonstrate the democratic way of life, and to show the power and practical benefits of stable government.
Such benefits are best demonstrated by their fruits. New Zealand's dependencies, for example, are administered in the long-term interests of the natives and New Zealand has done much here to improve conditions. New Zealand’s ability to aid foreign lands is a demonstration in itself—her participation, for example, in the advisory South West Pacific Commission and the practical Colombo plan. New Zealand's role in these organisations, entailing a total of £1,630,000 capital p.a., plus the training of students and the provision of instructors, is one that cannot fail to
advertise democracy and improve standards and relations in the South-West Pacific and South-East Asian countries. New Zealand's consciousness of
these matters is further shown by her efforts to
increase her trade with these countries, by her growing representation there and by the establishment of chairs of Asian studies in Wellington and Auckland.
With the combining of American and Commonwealth interests in opposition to communism, New Zealand is given the opportunity of a role as leader among the little nations. Indeed, as New Zealand finds greater freedom from Great Britain in matters of
policy she is able to take an independent stand on international matters. In the United Nations, New Zealand has played out her role and will continue to do so. New Zealand's efforts in the Korean war and her offers of aid in the Suez crisis bear witness to this fact. In 1955 New Zealand decided that she would contribute forces to the South-East Asian area in future, rather than to the Middle East, and so has sent troops to Malaysia to act as stabilisers in the situation that exists there. Today, although the war in Viet Nam still lacks the sanction of the United Nations, New Zealand is sending troops to aid America. She sends a police force to Cyprus to help maintain peace and the principles of democracy. Her ships participate in exercises with the navies of other countries. Her governments are always conscious of their role in the promotion of collective security. Past history shows this as well as present, for before the Second World War New Zealand delegates spoke strongly in favour of combined action against German and Papanese aggression. And in the United Nations, men like Peter Fraser have worked to have the smaller nations gain a larger part in the framing of United Nations policy. Finally in this respect must be mentioned New Zealand's role in the ANZUS Pact and the vast SEATO organisation.
In the Commonwealth, New Zealand's main role as the smallest of the four main European members is, and must be, that of maintaining a balance between the interests of the European and non-European countries. In the colour question, though the situation is far

from perfect, New Zealand's standards are of the greatest value as an example to the rest of the world. With her wealth of local experience in handling such affairs New Zealand is particularly suited for such a role. Again as one of the main members, New Zealand must be prepared to take a lead on important topics, a role which is exemplified in Mr. Holyoake's backing of the proposal for a Commonwealth Peace Team at the Commonwealth Prime Minister Conference in London.
In trade, because she is agriculturally one of the world s richest countries, her role is that of storehouse for the hungrier nations. New Zealand is very conscious of this and her interest in sending away trade missions to the Pacific, South-East Asia, the Middle East, West Africa and the Commonwealth bears witness to this fact. New Zealand also plays an important role as a market, particularly for many of the Pacific Islands. Figures show that in 1963 New Zealand
exported goods worth £2,718,000. These figures are increasing.
In the world of science New Zealand participates to a lesser degree. Lord Rutherford was a New Zealander, and today we have Dr. Pickering at the head of the space programme at Pasadena. However, in agricultural science and the realm of heart surgery, New Zealand can claim to lead the world in many respects.
In religion New Zealand has a chance to set an example. The Archbishop of Canterbury said that New Zealand has a perfect climate for religious unity, and at present moment, thinking on these lines is further advanced than in any other country, save South India.
Lastly, through her sports, New Zealand plays another important part. Her athletic, rugby, swimming, and cricket teams afford others a glimpse of our way of life and do much for the fostering of international relations.
So in all these ways, by helping other countries, and by showing them the practical potential in our way of life, New Zealand plays her part in the effort for the establishment of world peace.

VOLUNTARY WORK IN KOREA
F.rgus Freeman, of 6A Lower, 1960, an Auckland policeman, is at present serving voluntarily for ten months at o long-term ecumenical work camp in Korea organised by the World Council of Churches. Many comps are held for up to two months during the summer months throughout the world, wherever It is felt that the people in a particular area can benefit from, and appreciate the concern of Christians of other nationalities and races. Young people with Fergus include an Australian, an American, a Filipino girl, a British girl, a German boy and girl, a blond Danish boy, an African boy from Kenya, a Japanese boy and an Ethiopian boy from Addis Ababa as well as several Koreans.

He writes from Korea during October .
We were in Seoul for approximately one week and had a good chance to look around the city and find our eet Our first project is in Taejon where we are working on a farm for the InAe Baby Home, which is an orphanage containing some 230 children all under the age of six. It is sponsored by the World Vision Mission from the U.S.A., an organisation which has many similar schemes in this part of the world, although most of its efforts are concentrated in Korea We are working eight kilometers from Taejon, terrac

ing a hillside which, when brought under cultivation, will be used for providing food for the orphanage. Not only that, the farm itself is part of a demonstration project for the province, so that other farmers who have run out of arable land may be able to copy our efforts and learn from the techniques we use. This has its advantages as we can see the direct link between our work on the hillside and the children in the orphanage.
We are in the middle of autumn at the moment and the temperature is around that of a good N.Z. summer. After work we go to the hot springs at Yousong. It is all very similar to Rotorua except that the water in the baths is rather more hot. Since our arrival in Taejon, we have all been treated as visiting royalty, with an entire day spent in interviews with the Governor, Vice- Governor, Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Police Chief, County Engineers, Social Welfare Officers, etc. Every now and then, during working hours, one of the above mentioned persons will suddenly appear at the work site and then more speeches will follow, coupled with TV cameras, movie cameras, Press reporters, etc., etc.
The countryside here is exceptionally beautiful and not at all grim. We are well away from the rush and bustle of city life and the work site is situated on a ridge jutting out into a green valley. We are hemmed in by rugged hills on either side and several hamlets stretch out below us. The other day while we were working, the sound of a funeral from one of the villages below came floating up on the breeze. Then in the distance we saw a Confucian funeral ceremony being conducted in much the same way that it has been going on for the past 800 years. Civilisation never seemed further away than at that moment, and one could have been anywhere in history.
I have taken up driving a five-ton truck here. It has been lent to us for the duration of the project, and is an old army Dodge. Driving is rather hectic as they seem to obey no code whatsoever, and the whole time is spent in dodging pedestrians, nightcarts, and people with bamboo poles with buckets attached, not to mention the oxen carts and their drivers. This truck has been quite a blessing, as it has meant that we are not tied down to the one particular place, and last weekend we went to Mount Keryong and to Kapsa temple, one of the most ancient seats of Buddhism in Korea. We were shown the actual printing blocks used, or rather devised, by a famous King Sejong in the thirteenth century, nearly 200 years before the German, Gutenburgh, invented his move- able type printing press in 1478. The Korean alphabet is the most standardised in this part of the world, and is based on phonetic symbols. It has 24 letters, 14 consonants and 10 vowels. Some of their vowels are rather tricky, and contain sounds which we do not use in English, but I, along with the others, am trying to master the complex sounds and the diphthongs plus triple vowels. We estimate that by Christmas, we will at least have a basic understanding and our efforts at language will be somewhat better.
My stomach seems to have settled down at last after the first hair-raising experiences of Korean food. However, some of the others have not vet acclimatised themselves as far as food is concerned. Living accommodation is first class, and now that the beds have arrived we have all graduated from the floor, which is Korean style. Sleep is not as impossible as before, since the under floor heating system which is unique, is not roaring all night, making the summer nights even hotter.

The programme of the camp has been hectic to say the least. Daily schedule is as follows:—Rise at 6 a.m., breakfast 6.20 a.m., leave for work site 7 a.m.; uplift County Engineer, commence work around 7.45 a.m. Knock off at 1.15 p.m.; then to hot springs for wash and wallow,- back at the house by 2.30 for lunch; then rest period or sleep until 4.30; language school from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.; 6.30 p.m. meal; 7.30 p.m. evening programme which could be cultural, religious, economic, biblical or frivolous until 9.45 p.m.; then devotions, supper and then to bed around 10.30 to 1 1 p.m."

THE SCHOOL YEAR
2nd February:—The doors of the nation's schools swing wide once more amid cheers from thousands of bright-eyed eager mothers. 5th formers and underdeveloped senior boys arrive in carefully-aged caps and shirts.
5th February:—Lady Hillary visited the School with Sherpa Mingma Tsering to give a talk on educational work in Nepal. Having never seen so many people before he was obviously nervous but he did'nt have to glower at us quite as venomously as he did.

8th February:—A Japanese Youth Delegation came to afternoon assembly. On of the members gave us a speech in er . . . English (?) explaining the purposes of the mission.
12th February:—Voting for prefects.
15th February:—Nine new prefects (official badge and unofficial cosh issue takes place).
23rd February:—School Swimming Sports. One lad in the interests of scientific streamlining shed such encumbrances as togs.
Headlines: Day of Violence: Chronicle Editor smashes Pavilion window with cricket ball. Lesser mortal performs same on teacher's car.
3rd March:—Second batch of prefects announced My parents kept me from children who were rough, and who threw words like stones and who wore torn clothes. . . ." (Spender). Pezaro is sheriff; his deputy, Anderson.
8th and 9th March: "To travel hopefully is better than
to arrive." Nevertheless the idea at the Athletic Sports is to cross the finish line. Sports prelims today, mustard plasters tonight, stiff legs tomorrow.
10th March:—School Sports. "Winning isn't everything, but it sure beats coming second." An ably-led platoon of prefects relieved the Siege of the Library.
N.B.: Rioting outside the Library is not a School Sport, just an extra-curricular activity—optional at extra cost.

14th March:—The Inspectors come to inspect. Forsooth for some twere a frantic moment.
19th March:—The Inspectors left . . . (one handkerchief, one fob-watch, three pools coupons and one Golden Kiwi ticket).
26th March:—The School farewelled Mr. Orange who is going overseas to study physics and maths, institutions. (Thought: What sort of maths, do they study at Yonkers?) The same day John Devitt, the Australian record-breaking swimmer gave the School a talk to promote swimming and water safety. (Now all we need is some water).

“Mustard plasters tonight — stiff legs tomorrow . .

3rd April:—Intersecondary Schools Sports held at Eden Park. Although it is a highlight of the Athletic Calendar attendance was very poor, and the new stands make this more obvious.
7th April:—Vicious, vandalistic attempts to devastate Puriri tree with rusty brown Consul. What mean ye by this? Whence came these furrowed, fevered brows?" Exams begin. At length the morn and cold indifference came ..."
15th April:—Comment on swotting: Many a boy puts in a longer working day than his father with no whisky and soda to ease the strain.
3rd May:—A seller of a dubious piece of literature was hastened from these hallowed precincts, in case the thirds actually see a Capping Book. Can't ban a standard Upper Sixth text.
5th May:—Third former to father: No, I didn't get
promoted this term — did you?" Third form reclassification booms through the School.
7th May:—The toilers homeward plod the-r weary way, for two weeks of hols or otherwise,- Surfing for optimists,
Swot for pessimists,
All night parties for socialists.
25th May:—The second term begins—a maxim for better things:
Shoulders to the wheel.
Nose to the grindstone,
Ear to the ground,
Back to the wall.
(Now try working in that position).
1st June:—Nameless prefect, filled with second term exuberance succeeds in ruining a valuable antique light fitting in B6. Enraged at being beaten at table- tennis, he hurled his playing utensil skyward. However it struck the light on its way.
15th June:—The Navy band played for us during the morning. They arrived after trying to drive up Mountain Road where it isn't.

16th June:—Visit from Hamilton Boys' High. The School managed to hold down the energetic attack from the deep south. Muddy upper ground did resemble Chicka- mauga.
28th June:—The teaching profession is looking up as far as numbers go, dubious about talent though. Mr. Nicholson gave us the official position: "Teaching,
the noble profession" (Might be if pupils would cooperate ... no doubt though, low salaries and poor conditions ARE character-building).
9th July:—Mid-year Exeat—complete lack of control at the thought of all this freedom.
10th July:—The annual Prefects' Ball. An excellent evening with strikingly picturesque decorations.
12th July:—Whole school photographed for Centennial booklet. Then followed the painful process of getting the Upper Sixth sane for five minutes to photograph them on the entrance steps to this venerable institution. Duke, our local canine friend, photogenic as he is, was hastened from the vicinity so as not to detract from the elegance of the Upper Sixth.
16th July:—With Kiwi efficiency, the photographing of the 1 st XV cap presentation went completely astray. (Forgot the film, I suppose).
17th July:—Oh! The sight of all that manly splendour. King's v. Grammar—we won—which made it better of course.
20th July:— O say can you see through the dawn's early ligh;—the rocket's red glare." Yonder H.M. Prison stands in a blaze of glory. Riot, fire, arson, etc., etc. The Spirit of Rebellion is rife. Troops and police were posted along motorway. Some of the prisoners, in boyish innocence (it seems) wanted to drive down it before it was officially opened. The police thought differently. Even had to borrow Grammars rifles. Shame!
24th July:—We lose to St Kentigern in rugby. The trouble with being a good sport is that you have to lose to prove it.

“To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite.”
(Shelley)

The scaffolding goes up.
6th August:—Exams! Many a child who watches television for hours will go down in history . . . not to mention English, Maths and Chemistry.
12th August:—Grammar v. King’s in rugby. We win the rubber for this season. But maybe next year . . . who knows?
18th August:—They came, they ran, they conked. The School Cross Country Champs were run today. Results elsewhere.
20th August:—-Today Mr Hendl left to take up a post in industry. Will we ever see that flying figure again? Rotten, boring old hols again.
14th September:—Cheers . . . work . . . thought for week: "Better untaught than ill-taught.’’ Some
decorator’s gone mad! Carpet in B8? New lino? B5 actually painted? (Wait until the heater is lit next winter). This is too much. Oiled floors provided drag strips for Upper Sixth sport.
15th September:—Chronicle Committee meets. Editor surveys talent. Blank looks . . . maybe no Chronicle this year?

A place in the sun.

20th Sptember:—Enrolling Day. Do be patient and long- suffering with parents. Remember they are each sending you their very best efforts.
24th September:—Notice to leachers: On Friday, teachers
may leave at the dismissal bell—just don't trample the students."
30th September:— . and remember, only 95 shopping days to Christmas.
11th October:—Essay Prize Competition—Never was so much written by so many about so little. Optimists say The Pen is mightier than the Sword."
12th October:—Mr Turtill, Varsity Liaison Officer, entertained us with his caustic wit for three-quarters of an hour. Tried to solve some of our problems and queries.
What is the sub For the billiard club?
(Milton?)
Much propaganda and encouragement to take part in the Centennial Project. Abundance of money ruins youth" (Ray 1 670).

Intersecondary Cross-Country.

20th October:—Public Speaking Contest—enough said.
21st October:—Reading Prize (as above).
Modest as we may be, we could not let pass the fact that 6 Special, despite all its shortcomings collected a first in the Speaking and a second in the Reading Contests.
22nd October:—Labour Weekend . . . swotting for School, lads! (Surfing champs for know-alls).
27th October:—The teacher who comes in 15 minutes late is rare—in fact he’s in a class by himself.
28th October:— Three things cannot be taught—generosity, poetry and a singing voice."—An Irish proverb.
29th October:— I use not only all the brains I have, but all I can borrow."—Woodrow Wilson.
Exams begin for Scholarship sitters and unhappy fifths. 1st November:—The printers are calling, bringing the diary to a close for 1965.

The Old Boy's Assocation is pleased to have a part ir• the Annual publication of the school Chronicle, as in many ways the activities of Old Boy's are a seque. to the record of school life which is depicted in the Chronicle. During the next four years there will be a growing interest from old boys in the life and pro gress of the school. — already many, who had shown little active interest in the school over the years, have returned with enthusiasm to assist and support the appeal for the Centen.iial Project. There have been many great years in the history of the school but these years promise to be even more exciting and eventful than in the past. One thing is certain — that Old Boys will be renewing their association with the school to an extent that has never been seen before and this will in turn, we feel sure, encourage the school to still higher levels of endeavour and achieve ment.
Centennial Celebration: Reports on the Centennial project and on the appeal appear elsewhere in this booklet, but in any report from the Old Boy’s Association reference must be made to the work that is being done by so many Old Boys to ensure the success of the Centennial. Preparations for the centennial have been the Association's main activity in these last twelve months and many hundreds of hours have been willingly given in planning the events ahead of us. Nr one has worked harder than the Headmaster himsel* who has been untiring in his efforts to ensure tha' no detail is overlooked. In some weeks this has mean' three or four additional meetings and on all these occas ons his enthusiasm has spurred us all in our efforts. Although it is impossible to mention all who have helped, yet reference should be made to the other members of the Centennial Planning Committee, who with the Headmaster have wisely guided the arrangements so far — Arthur Nicholson, the Chairman, Alan Cook, Barrie Connell and Geoff Wiles. Few know the sacrifices of time that these men have made to give the Centennial such a successful start.

Activities for the Year:
Cricket Representatives: Ross Morgan and Terry Jarvis, both members of the School First XI in recent years, gained selection in the New Zealand Cricket team which toured England, Pakistan and India in the first half of the year. Prior to their departure a farewell function was held in the pavilion where the opportunity was taken to wish them well and make small presentations to them.
It was qood to see some of the prominent cricketers of former years like Eddie McLeod, Paul Whitelaw, Alf Postles and Lindsay Weir as well as the dozen or so younger vintage who have represented Auckland in recent seasons. John Sparling was not available for selection for the tour because of the sudden death of his father and this was a real disappointment as it would seem that John's selection was a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Fred Orange: The name of Fred Orange will be more familiar to those boys who have been at the school in recent years as he has played an important role as senior science master at the school. Fred was awarded a Woolf Fisher Travelling Fellowship early this year which took him on an extensive study tour of America and Britain. Twenty or thirty of the Scholarship holders who have studied under Fred in the last four or five years, gathered at the Pavilion to wish him “Bon Voyage."
Bill Snowden: A five o'clock function was also held to honour Bill Snowden who was selected to captain the New Zealand Rugby League team to tour Britain. Bill was in the same form as Wilson Whineray and this is surely a unique achievement, the Captains of the New Zealand Rugby and League teams from the the same form at the same school.
Reunion Weekend: The reunion weekend this year was timed to coincide with the annual Grammar v. King's Rugby match which, this year was played at Kings. The school team, set the right tone for the weekend by gaining a well-merited victory over their old rivals.

In the evening a capacity gathering of old boys met for the Annual Dinner at the Ellerslie Racecource in the Garden Lounge. This was a new venue for us and it proved to be a very pleasant one. The one drawback was that the increased numbers attending taxed accommodation to the extreme. The guest speaker for the evening was Mr. Fred Orange who had just returned from his overseas visit on the Fisher Fellowship. He is a very competent after-dinner speaker and had little trouble in holding his audience with his humorously recounted stories.
The weekend wound up with a Church Service conducted by Rev. Owen Baragwanath at St. David's Church on the Sunday evening. The President, Headmaster, and Head Boy read the lessons and after the service Old Boys were given supper in the church hall. Altogether this weekend was a marked success.
Anzac Day Service: Although Anzac Day fell on a Sunday this year it did not adversely affect ihe attendance at the School Service which continues to be a most moving and memorable occasion. Mr Graham Speight gave the Anzac Day address — the name of his brother Murray, appears among the Rhodes Scholars and on the Roll of Honour.
New Year Honours: Congratulations to our Headmaster, Mr Henry Cooper on the award of a C.B.E. in the New Year s Honours list. No one has worked harder for the Auckland Grammar School and this is a recognition of his zeal for the standing and tradition of the school.
Branches out of Auckland: We are fortunate in having branches in many centres in New Zealand who keep up interest in the school away from home. Functions are regularly held by these branches and when possible representatives from Auckland attend to take news of the school and old boys' activity in Auckland. These branches will play an increasingly important role as the time of the Centenary draws near—as already committees are active raising funds for the Centennial project.
Once again the association has been pleased to show its interest in a tangible way by making presentations of caps to the 1st. XI and 1st. XV and by the awarding of form prizes at the end of the year.
The Association pays a tribute to the continued success of the school in scholarship and sport. It sees with satisfaction that the tradition of the school is being maintained and enhanced by the effort of the pupils of 1965.
To every pupil who will leave the school this year we would say — "Strengthen the Association by the addition of your name to our rolls of membership.' Our objective is to have every ex-pupil a member of the Association — will you help us?
MATAMATA BRANCH
The Annual Re-Union Dinner of this Association was held in the Matamata Hotel on Wednesday, 22nd September last.
Two members of the Auckland Association together with Mr. Jim Bracewell, attended our gathering, and spoke on the Centennial Celebrations being arranged by the Auckland branch.
Officers elected for the coming year are:
President: Mr. A. T. Clements.
Vice-President: Mr. A. J. Ingram.
Secretary: Mr. K. F. Newman.

DUNEDIN BRANCH
The following are the office bearers of the Dunedin branch of the Old Boys’ Association.
President: Mr. D. L. Pezaro.
Secretary-Treasurer: Mr. S. D. Foote.
38 Grammar Old Boys were present at this year's annual reunion dinner, held at the Student Union Building. Those present owe thanks to Don Montgomery for organising the show.
Athol Miller, at school from 1915 to 1919, related a few anecdotes of Mr Tibbs — to the amusement of all.
Billiards of doubtful quality finished the evening.
CANTERBURY BRANCH
The following are the office bearers of the Canterbury branch of the Old Boys' Association.
Patron: Mr. W. H. Cooper,Esq.
President: Mr. J. Leggat,Esq.
Immediate Past President: Mr. M. P. Eales, Esq.
Vice-President: Mr. J. R. Thorne, esq.
Committee: Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Lornie, Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Murray Mr. Speakman, Mr. Martin, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Morgan.
Treasurer: M. L. K. Neumegen, Esq.
Secretary: Mr. F. D. Cantwell, Esq.
This year our Annual General Meeting was attended by John Milne from Auckland who visited us specially to explain the Centennial project. Since his visit, a committee has been organised to proceed with the personal approach to approximately 100 old boys on the roll of this Association. Support for the project was spontaneous and enthusiastic.
During the year, the first President of the Canterbury branch, the Very Rev. Dean Martin Sullivan had the outstanding honour to have conducted the funeral service for the late Sir Winston Churchill.
Also during the year, our first Life Member was appointed in the person of Max Eales, who was our President following the departure of Martin Sullivan to London.
THE GRAMMAR SCHOOLS’ OLD BOYS’ RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
President: A. Billington.
Chairman: R. Don.
Secretary: R. Boyce.
Club Captain: M. Robinson.
Treasurer: K. Allen.
Committee: J. Hepburn, C. Caruthers, B. Johnstone, J. Fairgray, B. McGrevy, G. Sinclair, T. Eames, A. Armstrong, G. McMillan.
The Club had a very successful year of rugby with teams competing in Seniors, Seconds, Reserves, Thirds, Fourths and Fifths.
Although not winning any championships, we finished within the top four places in every grade. The reason for the high level of rugby was the excellent standard of players throughout the club combined with the enthusiasm and ability of our coaches. Our Senior team coached by Brian Hibbard and Alf. Dalton and consisting of a very young back-line (average age 20), had an excellent year and only went down in the last few games. This team should be very hard to beat next year. Once again Wilson Whineray brought great honour to the club through his fine leadership of the All Blacks. Although now retired from the international scene, he will be leading our Club Side

on a short tour of Sydney next year. If this tour proves successful for pre-season match fitness it is hoped that we can repeat it every two years.
On the social side, the club has had a most memorable year with numerous dances during the season at our new club rooms; a cricket match between Mt. Albert and Auckland Grammar Old Boys at the beginning of the season (Mt. Albert won thanks mainly to John Behrent); a golf day at North Shore Golf Course where Des. Vercoe carried off the trophy; and of
course our annual ball (this year held at Romaleigh on the North Shore). Our final evening for the season was the club smoko and prize-giving where Wilson Whineray entertained for two hours with some amusing anecdotes of his long career. The Squash courts we added to our Club premises in Ayr St.
Parnell have proved very, very popular and it is pleasing to see so many of our ex-players and their wives enjoying this amenity along with the current
footballers who find it excellent for keeping fit.
We will be training next year from early January at our premises in Ayr St. where all new members will be given a very warm welcome. All interested please
ring my office ph. 43-000.
M. J. ROBINSON, Club Captain.
FENCING CLUB
In the third term, a school fencing club was started. Although individual boys have represented the school in inter-secondary school tournaments, we have not had a full club devoted to the sport.
Attendance has been good (an average of about fifteen boys), but we hope to increase the numbers next year. Fencing is a growing sport in this country and one which requires intelligence as well as ability.
The club was fortunate to have the coaching of J. Gaud'n, a member of last year's 6A who now fences for the University Club. The more advanced boys have received tuition from Mr. Potter, a New Zealand representative fencer, whose experience and patience have been much appreciated.
Special displays have included exhibition bouts with foil and sabre by well-known fencers. The sabre fights were particularly thrilling to watch. Next year the club members hope to begin early with special exhibitions of all weapons and hope that many more boys will want to join. A number have already obtained their own equipment, although we still rely on the generosity of the Meadowbank Fencing Club members, who have kindly allowed us to borrow their gear.
RADIO CLUB NOTES, 1965
The club was not very active during the first term because of the theft of our complete station. However our members and local amateurs gave their support and we were able to build a low power transmitter in our spare time.
Our twelve members had an opportunity, in the third term, of establishing a few contacts on a ZC1 transceiver lent by one of the boys from Avondale College Radio Club. Our best contact to date was that with ZL4 HE: this being our first contact with Dunedin. As usual, interest was promoted in the contruction of ham radio gear and several boys have set their sights on their Amateur Radio licences.
Although this has not been the best of years for the club, we have gained much experience in contruction and operation of transmitters and we would like to extend our thanks to all those who have supported us through the year.

The imaginative centre-piece at the Prefects’ Ball.

THE PREFECTS’ BALL, 1965
This year the ball was an outstanding success. Under the guidance of Mr Crippen, the hall was decorated and lit by four large Paris:an lanterns, bedecked with flowers, while in the front of the hall, a fountain surrounded by a garden of greenery, played during the evenings. Mr and Mrs Cooper were present as the special guests of the Prefects, while members of the staff, last year’s prefects and two hundred other couples also attended.
Dancing during the evening varied from older steps to more modern interpretations, while a School Group supported by members from the main band played during the supper, which this year was prepared by the Prefects’ mothers and was of a very high standard.
Praise for the overall success of the ball should go to Mr Crippen for his magnificent decorations, Mr Mc- Lisky for all the organisation behind the scenes, and last but not least, to the Prefects’ mothers for their untiring work in helping to prepare the hall and in providing the supper. Many will remember this ball as one of the most enjoyable occasions of its kind for many years.
A.G.S. CHESS CLUB
This year we began well, with over thirty, many of whom were third-formers. We have been able to hold meetings in B8 every lunch-time, and would like to thank Mr. Faulkner for allowing us to use his room. It has been pleasing to see W. Bryan still regularly attending in spite of his handicap, and develooing into quite a strong player.

Two new sets have been bought, and we are hoping to buy another this term, giving the club ten sets in all.
We fielded a strong team in the Inter-Secondary School Championships, and came second by a very small margin. The team was selected from Ansell, Hughes, Jacobs, Kolnik, Porter, Ross and Stevens. Ross in particular has made excellent progress this year.
At the time of writing we are about to start the annual competition for the Aubrey Belton Cup, which should develop into an interesting tussle among Ansell, Kolnik and Porter.
This term, since B8 has been carpeted, chess activities will be a little restricted. However, we look forward to carrying on next year with as strong a club as ever.
AMBULANCE ROOM
The Ambulance Room has continued to perform an important function in the smooth running of the school. This year there have been some eleven hundred cases treated, a considerable rise on previous years.
Thanks are due to the boys themselves who have kept up a high standard in their work while attending to the casualties.
Seniors: R. J. Endean (head boy), T. J. Hemmingsen. Intermediates: P. B. Johnson, B. D. Andrews, D.
Ojala.
Juniors: W. R. Glover, E. S. Coutts, G. Moffat, P. M.
Golden, A. J. MacGregor.
S.C.M.
(Auckland Schools’ Committee)
S.C.M. activities started when a group of us visited the University to hear the Archbishop of Canterbury speak. Although Dr. Ramsay spoke to a higher academic group, those of us who went felt that we had gained much from one of the great theologians of the present day.
A.G.S. was the host for the first term Forum, which was held at the Post-Primary Teachers' College. Dr. R. S. Foster, the Warden of St. John's College, was the guest speaker. His address entitled "Church in a Matchbox" provoked many good and frank questions. A. G. Steele was in the chair and H. H. N. Chappell proposed a vote of thanks.
The second Sixth Form Forum was held in the Maclaurin Chapel. Interesting talks and discussions were given by the Prison Chaplain and the Prison Psychologist, who answered many questions about the Christian view on crime and punishment.
In the third term the final Forum was addressed by Dr.
D. O. Williams, the Principal of Trinity College, who spoke about "Personal Relationships".
S.C.M. Camps were held in the May and August holidays. A.G.S. representation was better this year, but there could still be more support from both fifth and sixth formers. Our thanks are due to Mr. Ginever and camp leaders from other schools, who helped our discussions on many subjects ranging from Church Unity to the Role of the Laity Today.
All members of the S.C.M. who had the opportunity to go to Camps or Forums found the discussions both illuminating and stimulating.
THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
The orchestra has been a great success this year and has lacked nothing in enthusiasm and vigour. This was particularly apparent on the last night of the School play. Mr. Radford, whose forceful conducting and buoyant personality were responsible for much of

the players’ achievement, gave up a great deal of time for the copying and arrangement of the music.
Two full days of concentrated practice produced a fine interpretation of the music especially arranged for the three one-act Irish plays. Once again the performance was a joint one with the school orchestra combined with players from Auckland Girls’ Grammar School. This year’s effort continued the improvement shown in previous productions, and made good use of a capable choir composed of pupils from both schools.
The influence of the school orchestra is also apparent outside A.G.S. for the Secondary Schools' Orchestra included a number of our present players, and there are seven old boys in the Junior Symphony Orchestra.
Many people have commented on the near-professional balance and tone achieved by the school group. For this we must thank Mr. Radford. The proposed Cen- tenn'al Auditorium will be a welcome relief from the present cramped practice conditions, and with the steady influx of players from the woodwind, string and brass classes, the orchestra is promised a very bright future indeed.
SCHOOL SINGING
The high standard of school singing over the past two years has been maintained throughout the year. The introducfon of a hymn to the Friday morning assembly has added a deal of tone and dignity to the occasion, and the school cr-itinues in its acquisition of an ambitious repetoire. At prize-giving 1964, the school sang the Creation Hymn (Beethoven), which has now become almost a tradition, and gave a polished performance of the difficult Latin hymn “Transeamus usque ad Bethlehem." This year an excerpt from "The Messiah" (Handel) is planned — a most ambitious undertaking indeed. Much careful practice is being spent on this, and if the magnificent tone at present being experienced is maintained, then the final performance will be one truly worthy of the occasion and the surroundings.
THE CADET UNIT
After the decision of the Board to end the compulsory cadet system, it was proposed to try a volunteer arrangement. This was done with only a partial success.
The unit totalled about 90 boys, and by the new Army Directive, this was confined to Stages I and II. There were insufficient volunteers to form Navy and Air Force sub-units this year, and those who did volunteer were advised to join the Open Town Units.
The training was run on the basis of one half-day each fortnight, with training days held variously on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays so that boys did not miss the same class periods too often. Even so, many suitable boys, with examination commitments in mind, considered the loss still too great and thus did not join the unit. The scheme is plagued by several weaknesses, notably a lack of officers and NCO’s; the lack of a school range; and frequent shortages of equipment.
The NCO’s who carried out most of the work in training were W.O.I. W. Spring and Sgts. R. Carnachan, R. Jepson and P Johnstone. Seven boys attended the NCO Qualifying Course at Papakura camp and all acquitted themselves well.
On Anzac Day, the usual guard was mounted at the War Memorial and added solemn dignity to an impressive occasion.

A gentle hint of lumbago — a scene from “The end of the Beginning

THE SCHOOL PLAY
A step in what proved to be the right direction was taken in the presentation of this year's dramatic production. Instead of the usual fare of Shaw or Shakespeare, three Irish plays were chosen. These were "Riders to the Sea," by John Synge, "The Rising of the Moon," by Lady Gregory, and "The End of the Beginning," Sean O'Casey.
Riders to the Sea," a short Irish tragedy set in the Aran Islands off the rugged Atlantic coast of Ireland, provided tense drama as the opening play, after a meritorious overture from the combined Grammar Schools orchestra. In this first play the credit must go to the girls. Gillian Retter as the age-worn Maurya gave a moving performance that was the study of grief engineered by the plot, in which an old woman and her daughters, Cathleen (played by Lesley Brook) and Nora (Diane Hodder), are alarmed when the one remaining son of the family, Bartley (played by C. F. Taylor), decides to go to the horse fair and assuredly meets the fate of his brothers in their uneven struggle against a mighty enemy—the sea. The final scene when Bartley s body is born into the cottage caught the sympathy of the audience at all four performances.
The second play, The Rising of the Moon," deals with a theme fiery and turbulent, the fight against English rule. The scene is the murky waterfront of an Irish seaport, in particular a section that is being patrolled by a police sergeant, who having dispersed his men

is patrolling the quayside anxious to capture a dangerous revolutionary just escaped from prison and rumoured to be somewhere at hand. The sergeant’s eagerness is motivated by the substantial reward offered for the patriot's recapture. When a ragged ballad-singer encounters him in these circumstances, the interplay of character that is the merit of this play moves into top gear. P. E. Pezaro as the police sergeant and K. M. R. Gorronge as the ballad-singer provided a tragic-comic instance of the extent of Irish nationalism, exemplified by the coaxing of the sergeant's patriotic feelings to the fore by the scruffy minstrel, later revealed as the wanted man.
True Irish farce was the nature of the third and final play, "The End of the Beginning." Set in an Irish farm cottage this play turned out to be hilarious, well-rehearsed (and un-rehearsed), slapstick comedy. It involved short, rotund Darry Berrill, his slatternly wife and his friend, Barry Derrill, a short-sighted, old fool whose appearance is little short of a disaster for Darry, for the mishaps that befall these two culminate in a "panorama of ruin."
As Darry Berrill, A. G. Steele was the blustering, impatient farmer providing comic proof that a man cannot do a woman's work, while G. Lee supplied just the right note of bumbling, bow-legged "help- fullness" as the catastrophic neighbour. Both players threw themselves with gusto into the elements of callisthentics, mechanics ond ineptly-applied electricity demanded in the play. The timing and atmosphere were professional, and there was no lack of speed.

From the cast's point of view the production was highly successful with plenty of appeal and stimulation. Much praise should be laid upon our producer, Mr McNamara who threw everything into making this production the unqualified success it was, to the stage manager and co-producer, Mr Twine, for his Pflegenheit," to Mr Radford for his well-deserved success with the music, to Messrs McLisky and Gradon for lighting and special effects, and to all those connected in some way, large or small, with this year's production. May those of later years enjoy similar if not moie success.
TIBBS HOUSE
The number of boarders this year rose to the record number of 56. Once again many boys were in major sports teams; four in the First XV squad; two in the First Hockey XI. There was an outstanding representation in the relay teams—six boys, with others in the swimming teams. In addition to this, many boys played for the lower grade school teams in the mornings, before watching the senior teams later in the day.
Relations between the boys and the staff, which now includes Mr M. Parkinson, remained excellent, with Matron efficiently and cheerfully maintaining the high standard of catering and medical services she has always set.
Dances were held at the Epsom Girls’ Grammar School Hostel during the third term—one for Juniors and one for Seniors. Everyone appeared to enjoy himself immensely.
The prize-giving ceremonies should see, as usual, many House boys on the stage again, and there should be, if previous performances are any guide, a good number of boys passing their outside exams.
With the two prefects and numerous first and second- year sixth formers the Hostel was able to play to a very high degree the part envisaged for it at its founding, and to be a real force in the school. Several boys helped both on and off stage in the school play, and also at other times and places and were essential to the smooth running of sports events and the accompanying afternoon teas.
The long-awaited plans for the Hostel extensions have been finished, and work will start soon on the new buildings and extensions which should prove beneficial to all concerned. With new facilities in it for staff, senior boys and juniors, it will help to maintain the amicable way in which the House is at present running.
Though things will be different next year, with the buildings being erected, the House should continue its fine record in 1 966, and the years after.
THE LIBRARY
In 1965 the Library has again catered for the school's literary demands and the various departments of the Library ran as smoothly and efficiently as ever.
The total number of books borrowed this year is 24,000, an average of 20 per pupil. The number of new books accessioned is 900, with notable additions to the Sixth Form, History and Fiction sections; making the total stock 8,500. The gift of the 1964 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica has this year come into general library use in the Reference Section.
Many boys who left last year donated their free text book deposit to the Library. With this money we have been able to buy further additions to the stock and each gift has been gratefully acknowledged by letter and a donation slip put in the book concerned.

The Recess department, staffed by third form juniors, is responsible for the general neatness of the Library— a job they have carried out with credit.
The Display case in the Library has been the centre of many notable and attractive displays this year, among them being "Firearms", "Woodturning ", "Telecommunications", "Skiing" and Motor-cycles . We would like to thank Mr. Crippen for his help and for the loan of materials in this respect.
The overdues system has been streamlined, the entries now being kept in a book. In this way many mistakes have been corrected with the result that the number of overdue books has fallen to a much lower level than in previous years.
Mrs. Payne, the library assistant, has completed the relettering of the shelves and the new plastic beading gives the titles a much cleaner and neater appearance than was possible with the old metal clips.
Midway through the year, after exhaustive work by Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Payne, a revised recommended reading list was issued to all forms. This list is an informative guide to the many works of fiction available in the Library.
Most of the school does not realise what an enormous task it is to keep the Library running efficiently and to keep up a steady flow of books which have to meet the widely varying tastes of the boys. Mr. Rogers has carried out this task again this year with his usual efficiency and enthusiasm. He has been helped tremendously in this by Mrs. Payne who has taken such laborious tasks as checking the filing in the catalogue in her stride.

Work in the Art Department this year has been varied, with a new emphasis on both oil painting and fabric printing. A start has been made on litho reproduction with some excellent results.

It is common knowledge that the Old Boys intend to make a cultural gift to the school to mark the Centennial celebrations. The proposed extensions to the Library will double the existing floor space and also include workroom, office, Sixth Form study room and twenty carrels on a mezzanine floor. The increased shelving will accommodate up to 12,000 books and will alleviate the present shelving difficulties. Two classes will be able to use the new library at once as it will accommodate 120 boys, i.e. one tenth of the school enrolment. Apart from this the new plan will provide more adequate work space and storage facilities. The Library will thus be given a new lease of life so that it will be able to cater more effectively for the needs of the school.
RUAPEHU PARTY, 1964
Thirty-six selected boys left school by landliner on Saturday, 12th December, 1964, in the company of four masters for a week at Ruapehu Ski Club Lodge.
This was more than just a week of rollicking, there was an underlying seriousness of tuition in self preservation and safety on a mountain. We cannot adequately thank Mr Adams, Mr Ingram, Mr Jepson and Mr McLisky who at the end of a busy year are willing annually to make possible through their contacts, organisation and generosity such a holiday for so many energetic, eager and perpetually hungry boys.
The holiday was a perfect antidote for School Certificate and other examinations even though it rained and rained and rained. Apart from the pleasure shared adventures with other boys, we made a lasting friendship with Peter, Paul and Mary" and folk music. We found the relaxation in a pack of cards and table tennis experts became more expert. Books were available if you wished to retire to a bunk and read.
Cho'es were shared and the organisation was so de

signed that no one felt irked by monstrous tasks or inequality.
The weather had patches of kindness and pent-up enthusiasm burst out on to the mountain at least once a day.
We had two days on skis, starting on the gentle slopes near Delta Corner then proceeding to Restful Rocks. Here many of us discovered that we had clown-like feet that obeyed no previously known brain signal.
Groups were organised for a variety of activities and a constant check was kept on numbers. Stanton Memorial was visited and respects paid to lost lives. This is a walk around the mountain which offers spectacular views. One group found the tramp to Skipper's Chimney full of discovery. Yet another group have recalled often during the year their experience in a "white-out" and how their confidence grew when Mr Adams trusted them to lead him back out of the difficulty while testing the mountain craft he had taught them. Imagine the clamour of swapped experiences on return to the Lodge.
The Lodge was centrally heated and one big asset was a drying room which was especially appreciated after toboganning.
From my diary I recount one eventful day—MONDAY, 14th.
Wake 7.00: Can t see your nose outside. The trip to the top is off! Breakfast 8.00, our first duty is to clean up the eggy, fatty porridgy dishes for forty-one. 10.00: Dress in oldest clothes—tradition is to be revived by bathing in a nearby stream just where it emerges from an ice cave. Temperature 33 degrees F, five-ninths degrees C. i.e. cold! Mr McLisky said that he would be the eleventh. We rounded up ten and set off. It was so cold that the shock numbed you, and you felt nothing but your toes. It was difficult to breathe. Mr Adams offered one shilling

The Ruapehu Party 1964.

for every minute after the first. I earned ’/2 d (not paid). On getting out the feeling of refreshment was marvellous. You felt warm to the core. We ran back to the Lodge. Lunch, 12.00. At 1.30 we set out up Yankee Slalom to Alpine Hut across to the National Downhill, over the Ampitheatre and back to the Lodge. We kept our spirits high in spite of numb, wet feet and hands by passing humourous topical messages. Back by 3.30. Shower, drying room, table tennis. Apple pie for dinner. Meals have been good all day. Played a two-hand game of five hundred. Up 400, down 400, finished level at 0. Bed at 10 p.m.
Full day followed full day and of course we shared fellow feelings with the famous Grammarian, Sir Edmund Hillary, when we reached the summit."
We even had a party with a neighbouring hut and met a number of people from Wellington schools. The impact of some of these visitors had already been felt on the ski slopes.
Throughout the year we have swapped photographs, read books on skiing, shared the records we bought as souvenirs and felt the brotherhood of that icy swim.
There were no lounge lizards" in this party, proving that adverse weather does not affect the enjoyment of a Ruapehu holiday.

FILM CLUB
The Film Club continues to attract an enthusiastic audience to screenings in A4 at lunch time and after school on Fridays. Feature films are hired from the major suppliers around the city and for the third term, one of the suppliers has again kindly loaned us a cinemascope lens for showing wide-screen films. By sharing films with the hostel, our subscription rates are kept to a minimum.
The Club also provides a service to departments in the school by the hiring of spec:al films for class showings. For our own films an effort is made to cater for all tastes, and at the same time we endeavour to show films of some merit. Amongst the noteworthy films screened this year were: “The Ca:ne Mutiny,” “The Doctor’s Dilemma," “The Rising of the Moon,” “Tunes of Glory,” “The Two-Headed Spy" and "Two Rode Together.” Films hired for class screenings included: “Treasure Island,” "Oliver Twist," "Hamlet," “Othello,” “Henry Vth,” “Mein Kampf" and “The Old Man and the Sea.”
CRUSADER UNION
1965, the thirty-fourth year of the Union’s operation in the school has proved to be most profitable and enjoyable. Our chief aim has been to provide an opportunity for Christians to meet to share their experiences, to learn more of the Bible, and thus to help them to know their Lord with increasing reality. Guest speakers were invited for most meetings, usually a minister from a denomination to take a series of studies. In the first term the series from Rev. Alan Burrow, the former principal of the N.Z. Bible Training Institute, was a great help to all. Other speakers of note were Rev. Guy Nicholson and more recently two visiting American ministers who were participating in the Transpacific Crusade. When some of the boys requested an opportunity for further study, meetings were held for Seniors in B9 on Tuesdays — a practice which has developed over the last few years. These meetings took the form of discussion and Bible study, led in the second term by Mr. Nelson Skeates and later on by Mr. Smith, or by the boys them

selves. They were informal garnerings giving everybody an opportunity to take part and resulted in a real blessing.
We have also tried to reach others of the school who have little idea of what real Christianity is. Meetings have been geared for the interest of the non-Christian, with the boys themselves telling how their faith works day by day. Evangelistic addresses have been given by Dr. Tony Hanne who has worked among the Mods and Rockers in England, Mr. Alan Williams a seaman, and Muri Thompson, New Zealand's Maori Evangelist. Early in the second term several hundred boys also enjoyed a weight-lifting demonstration from Olympic representative Don Oliver.
This year as usual the Crusader movement has held camps throughout the country. Those in the North Island have been at Ponui Island, Lake Waikaremoana, a snow camp in the August holidays at Mt. Ruapehu, and a canoe trip on the Hauraki Gulf. There was only a small Grammar contingent at these camps but those who went found it so worthwhile that we expect more will take the opportunity this Christmas.
Our thanks go to city businessman Mr W. Fountain who has led the Union this year. He has been assisted by Mr. Smith and a committee consisting of K. J. Warrington (Junior Leader), W. H. Fountain (Secretary), D. R. Bean, A. G. Bell and P. Steggall.
DEBATING SOCIETY
The Debating Club has had another year of keen activity, although the pressure of time on some of the leading members has meant that meetings have not been held as often as would have been liked, and the attendance at these has often been small.
A school team consisting of Gluckman, Kolnik and Johnston was successful in the debate against Epsom Girls' Grammar School. The subject, "That this is the Age of the Common Man," was well-handled by both sides and our congratulations go lo the school team on its win.
P. Gluckman was chosen to represent the school at the Royal Overseas League's public speaking contest, and delivered a most competent speech although it did not gain him a place.
This year's public speaking contest final at the school was of a very high standard. The topic, That New Zealand's Social System is Building a Nation of Apathetic People," gave plenty of scope to the speakers, with the result that the judges, Messrs. Brockett and Moses, had a difficult time in separating the contestants. They were very impressed by the calibre of the finalists, and after congratulating them all, awarded the following placings:—
1st: J. P. Wallis, 6 Spec.
2nd: N. W. Johnston, 6 AL.
3rd: A. M. Kolnik, 5A.
STAMP CLUB
The Stamp Club enjoyed a successful year, the weekly lunch time meetings being attended by up to thirty boys. Members were able to exchange surplus material through club books.
Interest was also shown in First Day and other special covers. A talk and display was given by H. Dickey on the King George Vth issue of New Zealand. This display was subsequently shown at an outside organisation and received a very favourable comment for the material and the work that had been put into it.
Modern catalogues, magazines and news-letters provided up-to-date information on all aspects of New Zealand and overseas stamps and postal history.

CONSTRUCTION

GYMNASTICS CLUB

A blast, a boom and a colossal heaving of stone and rubble,
Brings to life a new path.
The gigantic sound of the new birth echoes,
Re-telling its power in wavering tremors.
Re-living man's most insignificant seconds.
A heavy rumble and a roar of a hoarse engine Suddenly rebels against the conquering silence And a truck arrives and is fed with stones From a screeching claw of steel.
A steep mountain of smooth rocks is left,
An undistinguished slope of debris,
As the giant, on command of a harsh turn Is driven away.
Some minutes pass until a whirring alarm reminds The men of their weakness
And, once more, a deafening explosion reduces them To slaves of mechanised progress.

I his has been a lean year due to a dearth of senior gymnasts. A number of juniors passed their Gym Badge Tests including B. N. Martensen, A. J. Whyte, G. P. Sanford and D. B. Leman. The School Senior Champion was D. S. De L. Bennett and the Junior, S. R. Allen with G. P. Baird second. The trampoline is still Ihe most popular piece of equipment and has introduced many boys to gymnastics.
Systematic Weight-Training has been carried out all the year by a group headed by W. J. Wilson and M. R. Twigden with considerable success. A total of 26 boys who suffer from asthma have also derived benefit from regular use of the weights. Mr. Fyfe has been training them in breath control and chest strengthening exercises.
The Gymnasium is still the most constantly used room in the school with Gym Club two nights a week, Indoor Basketball teams under Mr. Madden two-three nights and a Fencing Class in the third term. Requests for its use are so numerous that we could well do with an additional gymnasium.

IN FORM AND OUT

To the Editor of Chronicle.
Dear Sir,
My mind is sapped of all thought, emotion, conscience, patriotism, despotism, despite, instinct, intellect, enterprise, disquisition and commission. Hence the Chronicle must prey upon those more worthy.
Yours succinctly,

ON STAGE
The curtain rose, and revealed an unnatural bright.
The harshness of the footlights exposed faces as masks;
Masks who fight to delve into the hearts of their steel opposites,
Who fight to find themselves in others’ souls,
Who win when breath is drawn in shock Or when mirth explodes and warms the theatre.
As the steel melts under the heat of realism.
But after, after the curtain has dropped.
They change, from those whose worries are not reality To those who are.
The players, caught between stages.
G. Stitt, 5C.
WRITTEN TO THE PIOUS
I know one thing But you know too,
Another thing
And you prevent my certainty Am I blind? The stumbling idiot Seeing garish colourings?
No, I stand still,
And I am clear-sighted And see nothing
That is not seen differently by you.
You are convinced of God by order, miracles;
And are convinced of his perfection by the marvel of this world.
Then let that be so,
But harvest not reason's hay with me Catch not the drippings of a golden sun That flows into the spaces of my mind And moulds purest certainty.
Love your God and love His mercy;
Personify him, foolish fool, to your own Please talk of the Creation
And Judgment Day beyond the End, Wretched forn Of Heaven Hill, Salvation and Domination.
But not to me
Who will not call this man’s predicament a mystery Who holds Truth above religion’s useful comfortings Who tires to talk to you, Unreason’s champions,
And wish you gone from me.
In the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost;
Do not complain my snobbery
But practise as your creed is preaching well
And sympathise that I must stand alone.
P. N. O. Best, 6A.

AMUSEMENT IS THE HAPPINESS OF THOSE WHO CANNOT THINK
If I take this title as it stands I find I run up against the word amusement. Here, presumably, it means entertainment in such forms as films, football matches, television and the like. But in any case, amusement brings happiness to all. Those who are amused by one thing or one form of diversion may be left unmoved and unamused by another form. A person who lives from day to day, one who cannot think, is entertained by football matches and television. On the other hand a philosophical type, one who is a thinker, and worrier, may be entertained merely by analysing the character of the man sitting next to him in the bus. The philosopher and the ordinary man are both amused, but not in the same way.
What this title really means is that Amusement is the the happiness of those who have not got the perception to see what life holds.
Most of us, thinkers and non-thinkers, have a fairly healthy view of life, and, if we are well-balanced, we derive our amusement from many sources. But we don’t all derive our happiness from amusement. The deepest thinkers who are to remain happy regard amusement in forms like films, as empty, though they may derive a great deal of happiness from worthwhile works like plays, operas, and films of high intellectual value. They draw their happiness from what surrounds them—perhaps their wife and children perhaps the different faces they see of their country, perhaps from mere reflection on life. They draw from these things the happiness that enables them to put up with life, but the things that yield happiness do not amuse them. There lies the difference, as the title shows, between the man who thinks and the man who doesn t. The former derives pleasure from ordinary things, and one moment of pleasure or happiness, drawn from a landscape, or from a film, or from seeing a city, by night, or anything else, may be sufficient to rest with him for years, perpetually recurring at odd intervals to yield its full quota of pleasure. But the man who doesn't think, the man who doesn't see in everyday objects things which bring pleasure, must get his pleasure elsewhere. And he gets it from the football field and the floor show and the races. But it is a different sort of pleasure. It is pleasure which is handed to him on a plate for the appropriate price, to be consumed voraciously, never filling, never satiating. The man who gets his pleasure from such sources is always coming back for more, and always will, for he is not really made happy; he is amused. Amusement amuses, but does nothing more, and a person who does not think is as easily amused as he is made sad, angry, or afraid. As a result of the transient nature of man’s amusement he too becomes a reflection of the amusement from which he sucks nourishment. He become shallow and emptv. But the man who is a thinker becomes the reverse. His life becomes more full, more valuable, both to himself and to others.
The man who does not has become nothing more than a parasite. For generations he has taken and never

given back, just as the farmer is a parasite on the land when for years on end he reaps its produce for his own material gain, never rotating his crops, never manuring the soil that has served him. The man who thinks shows really the exactly opposite type: he draws forth little — the happiness he draws from scenes, objects and people is not sucked out, as by a vampire. It is he himself who manufactures his happiness, manufacturing indeed from little more than thin air. It costs him little and it costs the world nothing. And at the same time he is ploughing back into his country a harvest which comes entirely from himself. He will serve faithfully and dutifully, for, being a thinker, he realises that he wasn't born into the world for nothing. He realises that he must pay for his rent on earth" so to speak, and so, for the food tie receives, the shelter over his head and the soil under his feet, all of which he has "commandeered," he tries to pay. Sometimes he w II not succeed in doing so, sometimes he will. The end result is not important as the intention of making a payment and the realisation that he owes something.
Ye the man who does not think, the parasite, who owes, far, far more, never gives back a fraction of wha he takes. Being a "thick" and unperceptive type, he never even realizes that he owes anything, and never will. Even if he did he would not make more than the slightest effort to make rstitution for what he has taken, in any form.
Thus basically there are two types of person, those who belong to the group of non-thinkers" and those who belong to the group of "thinkers." Naturally enough, there is something of a transition period between the two groups, and also, at their extremes, the two types are poles apart. Remarkably enough, one finds that exactly opposite lypes will exist in close proximity —in the same race, the same social station, the same family even. In a middle class family with, say, four children, one may be entirely selfish. No doubt he or she will derive most of his or her amusement from the T.V. set, dances and "movies." Yet in the same family there may be others who are entirely unselfish, assist their parents, go about their work conscientiously, and generally give back more than is given to them. This person will derive most of his or her pleasure from such sources as helping the family, painting pictures, or keeping a garden.
The fundamental difference between the two types can be distinguished in a number of ways, but perhaps the most accurate guide to differentiating between the "thinker"—unselfish, perceptive, understanding, reliable, and the "non-thinker"— selfish, unreliable, unaware of the basic facts of existence—lies in the source of their amusement or their happiness.
Unjustly, it is the "non-thinker" who gets the better deal in life. The "thinker" receives only what is familiarly called a "raw-deal." For his perception is his curse. Everywhere he turns he sees things which exercise a depressing influence on his spirit and his will, he sees the horrors in war, he sees the corruption of civilisation, the misery of the poor, the injustice, and worst of all, he sees, not only the lack of progress for which he labours, but the blatant disregard of his efforts. Though this last might be regarded as something that he should discount, it nevertheless exercises the most inhibitory effect of all, for it finally kills his will to try, by showing that to try is to labour in vain.
But the "non-thinker" goes through life cheery to the end (provided he gets his amusement). He walks through like a soldier walking no-one’s land, uncon

cerned, while bullets whistle past him, unaware that there is any danger, while the "thinker" is like the soldier who is scared stiff, yet charges in all the same. Chances are that he will "cop it," while his mate gets through. The "non-thinker" is unaware of anything in life to worry about. Even if he receives any knocks from life, he is too insensitive to suffer anything more than a minor setback. Yet the same blow, falling in a "thinker," may have effects from which he may never recover.
Unfortunately for the world, "non-thinkers" are on the increase, while "thinkers" are declining proportionately This is, to a great extent, the result of their different sources of pleasure. The "thinker" may derive happiness from a beautiful scene, enough to last him years. Yet what happiness could he get from looking out over hills and mountains and seeing burnt scrub, tree stumps, and accelerated erosion? What pleasure could he get from looking out over jungle when he knows that in that same jungle men are fighting each other? Consequently our thinker becomes toughened. Sooner or later he will look at the same scene and s^ "well anyway we need the timber," or "well, we all have to die someday." Thus his perception and awareness is gradually being dulled through generations of buffetings.
His conversion is further accelerated by the increase in the "output" of amusement. Every year more films are made, more pop records cut, more football matches played, to cater for the "non-thinkers." Not only does this result in the increase of "non-thinking" in "nonthinkers," but causes the now philosophical and hardened "thinker" to be drawn into the maelstrom. He drowns his perception and ability to think in amusement as a divorced husband drowns his sorrows in alcohol.
If we take amusement as being the derivation of happiness from any source, the title of this essay is "way out." But if we differentiate between being amused," and "being happy," we can see that it is "spot on." The "non-thinkers" are amused—they are fed pleasure. The "thinkers" make themselves happy—they manufacture their own happiness.

GRANDFATHER SPEAKS
A motorway right past the gate?
No cuts for fellows that come late?
Now they've laid carpet in B8,
What next?
Daily drinks of milk for thirds,
Things of which I never heard,
I'm almost at a loss for words!
What next?
At P.T. we had Swedish drill,
Now they just trot up the hill,
I wish I were a schoolboy still;
What next?
They arrive on motor-bikes and scooters,
And bashed-up cars with clanging hooters,
They twang guitars and blow on tooters;
What next?
There's a sick bay for the boys with pains,
They have a special stop for trains,
And carry umbrellas when it rains!
What next?

EXTRACT FROM ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN NEW WONDERLAND
As Alice approached they all began crying out, “No rooml No room!"

There's plenty of room, said Alice indignantly and sat down in a large armchair at one end of the table.
Sample our buoyant economy," suggested the March Hare encouragingly. Alice looked around.
“I don't see any," she remarked.
"There isn't any!" interjected the Labour mouse sleepily.
Then it wasn't very civil of you 1o say there was," said Alice angrily.
"It wasn't very civil of you to meddle in our affairs," replied the March Hare. There was a pause.
You're a socialist!" announced the Hatter suddenly.
Really, you should learn not to make personal remarks," Alice said, with severity. Anyway, what if I am? We are not all like you, you know."
You mean," said the March Hare, "WE are not like you."
"Well," said Alice, "I suppose it's all the same thing."
"Not the same thing a bit!" cried the Hatter. You might as well say that, I pay back what I borrow' is the same thing as I borrow what I pay back!' "
You might just as well say," added the Labour mouse, "that when Labour's out, the country's down,' is the same as when the country's down, Labour's out.’
O go back to sleep!" cried the Hatter and the Hare at once. Here the conversation dropped and the party sat silent. The first to speak was the Hatter.
"How's the pound going, these days?" he asked.
Alice considered a while and said, "I'm sure I don t know."
The March Hare slowly took a piece of paper out of his pocket, looked at it, dipped it in his tea, and looked at it again. Finally he said morosely, Down and down."
There!" triumphed the Labour mouse, I told you your butter wouldn’t suit the works."
It was in 1960, when he went mad, that he quarrelled with Credit," said the March Hare. "And since then Credit has never done what we wanted him to."
"Yes," mourned the Hatter, "it was at a big banquet given by the Queen of Hearts. I had to sing Twinkle Twinkle—you know how it goes.
Twinkle, twinkle little budget,
How we love you, yet we grudge it.
Up above us all you lie,
Like a black cloud in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, et cetera.
Anyway I had barely got through the first verse, when someone called out, He's murdering our economy!' Since then he has never gone right for me.
Suppose we change the subject," said the Hare yawning, "I vote the young lady tells us a story."
I'm afraid I don't know one," said Alice.
Then the Labour mouse shall!" they both cried. And they poured hot tea on its nose to wake it. The Labour mouse woke with a start.
Just what I was going to remark myself!" it said.
Tell us a story," cried the Hatter.
Yes, please do," implored Alice.
"Oh well," began the Labour mouse, "Once there was a government, and it lived in a beehive.
Really, I don't think . . . ," said Alice.
Then you shouldn't speak," interjected the Hare in a grave voice.
This last piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear, so she stood up and walked off. The last t'me she looked back she saw that they were trying to put the Labour mouse in the teapot.

FIRST TERM FOLLY (After the fashion of Longfellow)
Little Jimmy looked at tele,
Looked at tele night and daytime,
Looked at tele until midnight,
Looked at tele, didn’t study, /
Till the terms was nearly over,
Till two weeks before exam time,
Then young Jimmy was aflutter,
Then young Jimmy had to study.
For he did not know his Latin,
Did not know his French or English,
Had not learned his Mathematics,
Could not understand his Science,
Then he wished he’d learned his History, Why was old King John so famous? Things like this and many others,
Things he did not learn on tele.
So he had to cram his Latin,
Study English night and daytime.
This was all young Jimmy thought of,
But too late had learned his lesson.
Term exams were now beginning,
First the French and then the Science,
History and Mathematics Followed in relentless pattern.
Through them all young Jimmy staggered, Hopeless, weary and dejected.
Now young Jimmy knows his lesson,
For the next term Jim will suffer,
Will not gather with his classmates,
But will study one form lower.
Jimmy hung his head in sorrow,
As his place in class was told him.
Jimmy now regards the tele,
Only briefly in the weekends.
Wants to move up with h;s classmates, Wants to stand among the worthy.
Wants to hear his name applauded,
And next year be reinstated.
J. Keall, 3A.

ON THE BEACH
There is an ant, channelling with frustrated energy through the sand, an inch from my nose. There is a gull, soaring with effortless ease a hundred feet above my head, and between these extremes, there is a close- packed mass of humanity, extending to the sea.
The mass is made up of anonymous units, each a study in itself. There is crabbed age, adorned with pot belly and sunken chest, and youth in all stages: from the infant, screaming at the expended surge of the breakers, to the swaggering schoolboy.
There is the beatnik, an essential ornament on any self- respecting beach. His revolutionary manners and customs make a pose that would attract atiention at a Zulu witch-hunt. His plate-glass sun-glasses cover most of his face, and what can be seen of the rest is not exactly pretty. More undesirable, there is usually a down and outs" group, defended by a breastwork of beer-cans and litter. Not much is seen of this particular species of beach-dweller. He generally hibernates during the day, coming out nocturnally to feed. Those that do venture to see the light of5 day are intensely gregatious in their habits, but only mix with their own kind, generally in a sort of decaying compost-heap of litter on the beach. Closely interwoven with this group are the "surfies" who, resplendent with hairy chests and hairier heads swagger about toting boards of excessive proportions. The mystic cult that these people worship is incredible. They have an intricate system of status symbols, and they bow down to graven images (their boards). They seldom venture into ihe water.
The animal kingdom is never unrepresented. There must always be the huqe shaaay werewolf that dries itself ostentatiously in the thickest of the crowd, and the enthusiastic element that wheezes and yaps its way to one's ankles, and strategically becomes mixed up in them. Usually there is a "my darlings tootsie-woot- sie" that lies ensconced in layer upon layer of fur rugs, and then layer upon layer of fat.
The ‘trench digger'' is omnipresent and the holes that he digs ubiquitous. The energies of the little brat are fantastic. He raises huge bulwarks against the tide, and when they are smitten into a pile of ooze, he digs intricate and canal systms that would make a Venetion green.
The ant, I see, has progressed a few inches, and the gull has gone.
J. SUTHERLAND, 3A.
TIMES CHANGE?
The lounge bar was crowded, but it had that certain friendly atmosphere that encourages one to go in, and become part of its escapist world. Such feelings gripped him as he entered, so ignoring the fact that the crowd was largely youthful, he ordered a drink at the bar and sat down, satisfied. Almost immediately he became engrossed in the sight of a group of students around a cluttered table, laughing together. One, a blonde long-haired boy, who looked under age, was reciting passages from a text book in a pompous voice, amid the cheers and laughter of his companions. Sitting beside him was an attractive girl, obviously enjoying herself, and next to her another boy, amused too.
At the bar, he was still looking, searching in a vain# attempt to understand. Youth, he thought, pondering over the appearance of the youthful three. But then, he’d had his share of it. Of course, he'd had youthfutl days too, but where had those davs gone? Then, as he still stared, a smile appeared on his lips, but he was still deep in thought about days past. Now, quite

suddenly, the long-haired boy was him, except him recreated, in 1965. Sure, the pubs had attracted him, especially when it was a type of dare, he had enjoyed himself. And he remembered too those incredibly stupid things he had done; he remembered his friends, and their preposterous ideas. Life had been different then, certainly, but had living itself changed dramatically? He thought of the time his mum and dad had warned him that he had better take life more seriously—when he had packed up and left. How confused, worried and amazed they had been at his whole attitude—twenty-five years ago. Yes, that holiday, those lazy, fun-filled days had been the happiest of his life. True—he had been young, once.
As if snapped out of a trance, he suddenly glanced at his watch, and, concerned that he might not be in time for the T.A.B., rapidly drank the remainder of his beer. Turning quickly, he almost bumped into ihe long-haired boy as he returned the three glasses.
It was only until then that he refused to believe that th's was h'm, a quarter of a century ago. The hair, the clothes were too audacious. And, forgetting his thoughts of a few minutes before, he laughed out loud, so that questioning faces turned around and stared.
So these are the tykes I'm paying taxes to educate. Ha! he shouted, pointing. And he paced out hurriedly, slamming the door behind him, in protest to all those who had something that he could never have again.
The young man shrugged, and carrying back the three now-full glasses to the table, sat down. H:s companions said something inaudible, the girl was silent. But very soon, the incident was forgotten, and they talked and laughed even more loudly than before.
For they had youth, and a vitality that could not be extinguished by pointless comments.
G. Stitt, 5C.
The round, golden orb of the moon Glides her way imperceptibly into the sky,
Leaves a track on the water Like the slime of a snail As she passes.
The cranes reach out with spidery hands To touch her.
A cloud stumbles across her face And is gone.
P. H. S., 6A.
CHAOS
The steel girders seemed to be suspended in air,
As though a magician was in the middle of his act,
Workmen moved like snails or else sat and talked,
Concrete a greyish thick liquid trickled like mud into the hole,
Down came a girder, men slowly rose taking their last drags on their fags.
Foremen rushed about urging, cursing, bullying the men, but the men,
Well the men were lazy and only wanted their pay to buy a pint.
Slowly the months rolled on, the bridge was beginning to take shape,
Pieces of steel lay about and the railway directors were frantic,
The labourers filthy from the mud made by the wheels of trucks and monstrous cranes,
Were now laying the tracks for the trains to run on, five lanes on tracks,
Rubbish lay everywhere, the men had taken their tools, fires of debris burnt as the train crossed.

MONSOONS
Monsoons are very bad for people. They make people wet. Wet people get pneumonia and sneeze a lot. Monsoons live on tropical islands such as Fiji, Tonga, Greenland, Mexico and India.
Some people have utterly misguided ideas about monsoons, e.g.:—
The monsoon is a large grey beast with seven legs and a large horn protruding from the right eye. It runs extremely fast and despite its cumbersome size can cross India in 81 minutes 67.803 seconds. Monsoons are cousins to the typhoons, in-laws of the basoons and have had a long musical acquaintance with the tromboons."
Even Hans Christian Andersen had a go at the monsoons:—
Once, long ago, there lived on the island of Hongkong, two monsoons, a mummy and a daddy. Before they could wreck Indonesia a little monsoon had appeared. Soon several more appeared and they all flew about giving people chills in the toes and frostbite in the head.
Then the poets got the monsoon bug:—
THE MONSOONS — By HENRY WRONGFELLOW
Monsoons are strange balloons,
Inflated by pneumatic goons,
They blow the world around a lot,
Which makes it difficult to stop.
The man who makes them should be shot,
O. exiled to the moon— the clot!

HOW ST. GEORGE SLEW THE MONSOON
Once long ago there lived a monsoon called Fred de Rick. Because his parents read the wrong psychology books he was a very wicked monsoon. He was an enemy of St. George the monsoon killer, which is strange. Fred de Rick was very partial to St. George's jam and took part in the great jam robbery of the 1 3th century.
This made St. George very angry and he set out to kill Fred de Rick, armed only with twelve jam-tin hand- grenades and his trusty eight-volt ray-gun. After three days riding he came upon Fred de Rick, who was in a tall oak tree, looking for a tin opener.
I challenge you to duel,' saith St. George, tripping over all the empty jam tins at the foot of the tree.
Choose your weapon. Fred de Rick jumps down
and selects a .3 calibre rifle from the box which St. George displays.
Two seconds are called upon and all the arrangements are made. Next day we find Fred de Rick swotting the rules of guerilla warefare while St. George is fitting an unbreakable rubber monocle over his glass eye. The two seconds walk in with buckets of paint to wash away the blood.
It’s the bell! Fred de Rick is furiously digging himself in while St. George pours jam-tin hand-grenades around him. Fred de Rick is mortally wounded! With a dying effort he raises his .3 calibre rifle and shoots St. George in the foot. St. George is hopping mad. He fixes his bayonet and charges, but Fred de Rick dodges and stabs him with a corkscrew. Suddenly our cameraman has a heart attack so that this is all we can tell you, except that Fred de Rick died of his wounds three days later, despite the fact that Dr. Gillespie did heart surgery on him. St. George was given a trip to sunny Italy and a free screen test in Rome. He did very well. You all know him as the character who says, "only one pea in three?" and stars in similar films.
To end this article, we would like to mention that a female monsoon is called a masoon and is easily distinguished by its driving habits. Also it is not so rainy as a monsoon but rather windier.

BLIND DRUMMER
Picture a dismal cafe, a small jazz band and a blind drummer . . .
Two heads together
In a small, smokey room,
Sway over coffee,
To a saxophone s tune.
And a blind drummer's drumming,
Drumming to the night,
Drumming to the candle With its flickering light.
Another couple dancing In the middle of the room;
The lights turn blue
In the thickening gloom.
The couple s heads are closer,
And their hands held tight,
Their faces like ghosts In the dim candle light.
The saxophone is crying,
And the drummer is still there,
Drumming to the loneliness And the darkness of despair.
Now the room is crowded,
And the couple s heads are one,
Oblivious to the world With its gaiety and fun.
They listen to the saxophone,
Which never seems to cease,
And the drummer drumming anguish For them is drumming peace.
G. R. HENDERSON, 6 MOD.
ROLL OVER LORD BYRON
The prefect came down like a wolf on the fold,
His badge it was gleaming in silver and gold.
And the look on his face was like storms on the seas,
When the hurricanes come on the Florida Keys.
Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green,
The gaping crowd watching the brawl were all seen.
Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown,
The warning ment up and the great host had flown.
But the Angel of Death he bore down on the rest,
And dished out detentions, right, centre and left.
And the voice of the smitten rang out high and shrill, Denying their guilt, using great legal skill.
And there stood the fighters, all battered and bruised, Their blood through a myriad of scratches did ooze,
And they too were smote by the Angel of Death,
But they started another fight soon as he left.
And the ranks of the smitten are loud in their wails,
And their curses ring out where the motorway rolls;
And the ones who escaped, unsmote by the book,
Find some other sport at which to onlook.
E. W. ROGERSON, 3A.
THE LONELY LIFE
I have just woken. It is Thursday morning. The wind whistles and whines in every nook and cranny. Sixty feet below, the waves are still pounding against the stone base of the light house, back and forth, back and forth, endlessly, back . . . and forth. But the storm is over. A heavy sea is running, but its anger has been calmed. No longer do the seas pound with such force and violence as that of the night just past. Instead, they wash in and out, in and out, breaking harmlessly against the base.

It is nine o’clock. I have eaten and feel more refreshed now, having a warm meal in my innards. Now I must do my chores, beginning with the dishes. Washing dishes is one way of ’’killing time.’’ I wash every plate and pot, slowly and methodically, but this does not work on my patience. Patience is a thing which is conquered by loneliness. There is little to do apart from the daily chores and one who has so much time to spare, steadily "conquers" patience in every aspect.
Having cleaned my living quarters, I go to the engine room, which is just above my bedroom. I check the diesel generator and clean the filter connected to the pipe which brings the fuel up from the oil rooms, thirty-five feet below. Then I go up another flight
of stone steps to the service room, collect some cleaning rags, a scrubbing brush and a large bucket of fresh water.
Stuffing the rags into my pocket and holding the scrubbing brush and one end of a rope, of which the other end is attached to the handle of the bucket, in my left hand, I begin to climb up twenty-seven rungs of iron ladder, which leads into the lantern.
At the eighteenth rung I come into the open and begin
to be buffeted around by the wind. As I slowly climb
upwards it is as if the wind is trying 1o tear away my grasp from the ladder. On reaching the twenty- third rung, I stop, exhausted, desperately hugging the ladder. I happen to glance downwards. Ninety feet below me I can see the base of the lighthouse and the dirty-green coloured waves pounding against it. With my heart in my mouth I climb the remaining four rungs into the lantern, where I feel more secure. As I haul the bucket upwards, the wind knocks it to one side and a little water slops out, but is of no consequence.
It is a few minutes after one o’clock. I have prepared myself a light meal, but do not feel very hungry. I take my rod and go up on to the balcony, just above the beam. It needs a long cast to take the nylon clear of the stone-work, but casting with the wind helps tremendously.
With my legs through the railing and dangling over the beam, my head resting against the iron, and my eyes fixed downwards, I wait. After an interval of about half-an-hour, I feel tugs and reel in. It is a mackerel, weighing, I would say, about two pounds.
I rebait my hook and cast again. By four o'clock I have five mackerel beside me. It is getting chilly and I decide that I have had enough.
I weigh the fish and find that I have a total weight of eleven pounds. Not bad, but then again, there have been better. There is little to do, so I read for an hour. At half-past five, I am feeling ravenous and prepare myself a hot meal, which I find very substantial.
At seven o’clock, I flick a switch and immediately the seas surrounding the lighthouse are lit up by the dull glow of the electric lantern. I also set the time-clock, which will automatically switch off the light at six o'clock the next morning. Having done this I go to bed.
As I lie awake in the darkness I think. Tomorrow will probably be a fine day. On Monday I shall see the welcome sight of the supply ship. That will mean new books, letters, fresh fruit and meat, and a chance to exchange gossip. Monday will be . . .
I have just woken. It is Friday morning. Outside the sun is shining. There is only the faintest whisper of wind. The seas are quieter now . . .

THE SONG OF THE TV ADDICT I slump down on my hips,
And bloodshot are my eyes,
While slackened are my lips,
My brain inactive lies.
Wild Westerns are a must,
And murders nightly fare,
My brain stagnates beneath a crust When TV's on the air.
Transmission interrupts,
My nightly homework grind,
My work just isn’t done,
In class I'm left behind.
Would thought of schoolwork make me pause, When Mason questions why?
And so I watch without a cause,
While bootless hours go by.
J. Sutherland, 3A.

WALKING HOME
The bus driver glared viciously at his watch while accelerating rapidly through the shopping centre. From the expression on his face when he looked up, one could see that anyone who got off at the next stop would be his life-long enemy. Hesitantly I pulled the cord.
With a savage growl the driver jerked the steering wheel round, spewing me out onto the pavement without stopping, he careered onwards, receiving my contemptuous thank you, driver" with a deaf ear.
Pulling myself together I started to walk home. On the pavement splashes of dry blood marked a trail to the surgery on the corner. The bloodstains on the doorstep were smeared and indistinct. Shuddering, I wondered who the unfortunate fellow was.
I walked around the corner, dodging giant American cars roaring out of the car-park. Down the road, a peculiar letterbox brought back memories of wet feet, crushed fingers and torn newspapers when I used to deliver newspapers.
While I was passing a house with a jungle of ferns and weeds, an over-fed dachshund dashed gallantly out of the house, tore through the garden and stopped at the fence, yapping ceaselessly. I felt just in the

mood for mischief. Putting down my suitcase, I growled and barked back increasing the wretched cur's frenzied efforts still more. Suddenly a man with a newspaper clenched in one fist strode out of the house, shaking the other fist. "What's the big idea of ..." I vanished.
I struggled on and on, the weight of my suitcase increasing step by aching step. Eventually I saw an old lady, a friend of the family, working in the garden. As I approached I opened my mouth to say hello, but she spun round and with loving care extracted a trowel full of earthwormy humus from an oil-tin. While she still had her back turned, I went on. A few yards later I could feel her eyes boring into my back. I was an insignificant, lowly, ill- mannered beast. Thankfully I slithered over the ramshackle piece of board that served as a barrier against our dog.
With a tumultuous racket, his feet scratching on the concrete, the dog made a beeline for me. Dancing madly on his hind legs, he fought me valiantly until he realised that I was me, and not a Russian spy. He then dropped on all fours, and behaved like a normal cat-hating dog.

SPORT—The 1965 Record

ATHLETICS
This year has beei one in which Secondary Schools' Athletics has taken a new role — that of playing foster - mother to the country s future athletic stars. It had been realised with some urgency that the school meetings are the testing grounds
for many of our potential national representatives. People who have travelled and have seen what is being done in
this direction overseas have imparted this sense of urgency to others. As a result, many now realise that the schools must organise more than the three athletic meetings currently held each year. We have already seen a start towards this goal with the introduction of the Quadrangular Meeting which proved such a success. It is easy to foresee that in a number of years, fortnightly or even weekly meetings will be held by two, three or four schools as a matter of course with the schools rotating from one meeting to the next. It is to be hoped that such meetings will help the standard
of school athletics to even greater heights than they hove recently achieved.

A. Jordan jumping in the Senior High Jump at the Intersecondary School Sports.

THE SCHOOL ATHLETICS MEETING
The school sports were held on Wednesday, 10th March, this year with preliminary events on the two days prior to this. The sports were held during the week this year because the Saturday arranged was also the date of the National Junior Athletics Championships, in which four of the school s top athletes were competing. This may also have been Ihe cause of the reduced number of parent spectators, but it had little effect on the entries in general—739 boys competed.
The weather was fine for all three days, and the track maintained its good condition throughout. As a result, there were several record-breaking performances. In a fine all-round display, P. E. Pezaro won the Senior Cup, and included in this a new record for the Senior 880 yards in lm. 58s.—taking 3.9s. off the previous record. Also in the Senior section, A. Jordan jumped

well to pass the old high jump record with a new height of 6ft. 1 in. A. Greensides added 6in. to the shot put record at a new distance of 46ft. 9in.
The Intermediate Championship was won by L. G. Knight who perfomed extremely well to win f.ve events— the three spr.nt events as well as the long jump and discus. He also set a new 440 yards records of 52s. Other records to fall in the In ermediate section were the 880 yards and high jump. The 880 record went to M. P. Wilson who ran strongly to take .5s. off the record set last year. In the high jump, D. R. Agate added Vein. to a long-established record, setting a new mark of 5ft. 5% in.
The Junior Championship went to J. Taripo who proved too strong for his rivals. The Old Boys' Race was won by D. G. Andrews.

P. Pezaro competing in the Intersecondary Meeting at Eden Park.

INTER-SECONDARY SCHOOL SPORTS
This meetinq was held at Eden Park on 3rd April. It was run on the system introduced last year in which all schools competed at the park on the same day, with the usual division of competing schools into "A and ' B" grades. The general standard was very high and there were several highly impressive performances.
The best efforts were probably those of D. Stewart (GC) who again carried away the three Senior sprint titles in the B-grade division, and of P. E. Pezaro (A.G.S.), who took a fine double in the Senior A-grade 880 and 440 yards races. Many other performances were notable including that of M. Watson (N.C.) who took the Senior 100 and 220 titles.
In the points competitions, Grammar won the Senior and Intermediate sections from old rivals King's College, but had to be content with third place in the Junior aggregate. This section was dominated by a powerful M.A.G.S. team. The points lead gained by Mount Albert in this section was sufficient to win for them the over-all points title, although they did not finish first or second in either the Senior or Intermea ate grades. Interest in the Senior competition was exceptionally keen because Grammar had been disqualified during the heats of the all-important 4 x 110 yards relay for a faulty baton-change. The team, therefore,

had to store up enough points to win the competition before the relay started. This was a challenge which team members responded to well.
The team results were as follows:—
Overall Points: 1, Mount Albert Grammar, 129 points;
2, Auckland Grammar, 1 1 4'/2 points,- 3, King s College, 105 points.
Senior A: 1 , Auckland Grammar, 44 ’/2 points,- 2, King's College, 42 points,- 3, Northcote College, 29 points, points.
Intermediate A: 1, Auckland Grammar, 55 points,- 2, King's College, 49 points,- 3, Mount Albert Grammar, 39 Junior A: 1, Mount Albert Grammar, 79 points,- 2, St.
Kentigern, 16 points; 3, Auckland Grammar, 15 points. [Abbreviations: (N.C.) Northcote College; (A.G.S.) Auckland Grammar School; (K.C.) King's College; (M.A.G.S.)

D. V. BRYANT MEMORIAL MEETING
The sixteenth Bryant Memorial Athletic Championships were held in the grounds of the Pukekohe High School on the 27th March. The weather was not ideal for athletics, with frequent showers and a greasy track. For this reason, the times were not as good as those recorded in previous years. However D. Stewart (Glen- dowie College) carried off the main honours of the day, winning the three Senior sprints.
Many of our aihletes also gave good performances, and the school gained two Senior titles in the face of strong opposition — the Senior 880 (P. Pezaro), and the Senior high jump (A. Jordan). The Intermediate high jump title went to D. Agate. These results, as well as many minor plac'ngs were indicative of a fine school performance in a meeting considered to be or a very high general standard.

INTER-SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ RELAY MEETING
This year's Relay Meeting was held on 16th October at King's College. The B-grade events were held at Takapuna Grammar School and the C-grade at Rutherford College. The weather was blustery although it remained fine until the end of the day. However these poor conditions did not prevent the setting of two new records in the A-grade meeting. In this competition, dedicated and lengthy training by the King's team was well rewarded, for they gained a deserved win in the Senior Championship, a third in the Intermediate, a third in the Intermediate division, and a second in the Juniors.
The finest performance of the day was undoubtedly that of the King's College Senior 4 x 440 team which, despite the track conditions, lowered the old record of 3m. 30s. held jointly by A.G.S. (1958) and King's (1961) by 1.7s. The Grammar Senior team did not show as favourably as was expected, winning only the 4 x 880 title. Nevertheless, a strong Intermediate team amply made up for any shortcomings in the Seniors by winning the 110, 220, medley and shot titles, as well a good number of minor placings. This record gave the Intermediates a clear win in their section. The Junior team fought well against strong opposition and ended third equal in the f.'nal results.

THE QUADRANGULAR MEETING
This year, a new item was added to the Schools' Athletic calendar in the form of a quadrangular meeting. This was held on the 20th March at King's College. Four of the older Auckland Secondary Schools took part— Mount Albert Grammar, King's College, Sacred Heart College and Auckland Grammar. The schools entered two competitors for each event which was then run as a final. This proved to be most practical and provided a well-organised and most enjoyable meeting. The school team had a very successful day, winning four Senior titles and several in the Intermediate and Junior divisions.
J. Rex took two of the Senior titles in a fine double. He beat R. Clarke (K.C.) in the 220 yards in 23.5s. Then, in a very close finish, he outlasted P. Wilkins (M.A.G.S.) and E. Poching (A.G.S.) to win the 440 yards in 52.5s.
I his meeting proved most helpful to all the athletes competing, and most rewarding to the organisers who had worked hard to arrange it. All who took part hope that this form of meeting will continue *o be held.
STEEPLECHASE
The School steeplechase was held on the Domain course on Monday, 16th August. The weather on the day was fine, but rain during the week prior to the event made the course soggy in parts. The numbers competing were larger than last year's totals, although still a far cry from the days when the race was compulsory. K. M. Gorringe who won the Senior title ran an exceedingly good race, and finished with a good sprint from a position well back in the field.
Results:--------
Senior: K. M. Gorringe, 1; L. J. Lyons, 2, A. G. Bell, 3; N. W. Ingram, 4; G. M. Clark, 5. Time 15m. 43.5s.

Junior: P. J. Yule, 1; I. J. Field, 2; R. C. McVicar, 3; R. J. Field, 4; D. K. F. Fischer, 5. Time 10m. 13.0s
INTER-SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Inter-School Cross Country Championships were again run on the St. Kentigern College course, on 2nd October. The events were favoured by fine weather both before and on the day, and this led to some good fast performances. Both A and B grades were held consecutively according to age group, and with all schools competing together, the meeting drew a large crowd.
The best individual performance was that of K. Harvey (Rosmini) in the Senior B race. He ran well to win in fine style by more than 400 yards. In the Senior A race, interest was centred not so much on individuals as on the team efforts of King's College and St. Kentigern College who engaged in a great battle for the teams title. St. Kentigern, who had four runners in the first eight, just edged King's College out of the first placing.

The school teams ran well and missed out narrowly on good final placings. However, the results showed a great improvement on last year's times, and this is undoubtedly the reward of much time and effort spent by Messrs. Millar and Orange. We may look forward to a further fine improvement next year.
Results:—
Sen'or: St. Kentigern College, 30 points, 1; King's College, 43 points, 2; Auckland Grammar School, 70 points, 3.

CRICKET
FIRST XI
3rd TERM, 1964
Results:—
v. King's College: Won by 9 wickets.
K.C.: 83 (Hooton 6/34; Thorne 3/15) and 91 (Thorne 6/29; Williams 2/11).
A.G.S.: 118 (Thorne 36; Ryan 23) and 6/11 (Kasper 32).
Start of play was delayed half an hour by morning rain. K.C. batted first and treated the bowling very cautiously—14 of the first 18 overs were maidens, the first wicket falling after >*0 minutes with five runs

up. The economy of the bowling was to some extent due to the wideness of delivery of the medium pacers, but Hooton bowled a long and steady spell that kept K.C. permanently on the defensive. The fielding was not good.
A.G.S., aiming for a first innings lead by stumps, lost two quick wickets, then a stand by Ryan and Thorne briskly added nearly 50 runs, but both went within five runs. At stumps the score was 95/7. The innings ended within half an hour on the second day.
K.C. started their second innings very steadily and nearly an hour passed before the first wicket fell at 35. Two more wickets fell in the next 25 minutes for 20 runs,4 to Thorne and one run out; but the 7th wicket last 40 minutes, threatening us up to the time needed for an outright win. The last three fell in 25 minutes and A.G.S. had 90 minutes to score 57 runs.
v. Westlake: Lost on 1st innings.
A.G.S.: 149 (Hooton 70; Thorne 31).
Westlake: 201 (Hooton 8/59) and 58/3.
This was a thoroughly deserved win to Westlake, who batted first, the innings being dominated by a fine century to Cullum. Hooton bowled a very steady spell of 35 overs during which he took four wickets. The other bowlers were erratic. Very good catches were taken by Williams and Stott, but too many chances were dropped.
A.G.S.’ first innings was immediately in trouble—5/1, 16/2, 18/3 at stumps, the damage being done by Chudley and Green, who bowled fast and accurately. On the second day, Thorne and Hooton started well, adding 31 runs. Once Thorne was out, however, the remaining batsmen offered little resistance with the exception of Hooton who played a most determined innings, and of M. Wilson who shared a stubborn 8th wicket partnership of 19 which almost had the Westlake bowling tamed. Wilson's dismissal right on tea time was the final destruction of hope of catching Westlake s score.
v. S.H.C.: Won by 10 wickets.
A.G.S.: 170 for 4 declared and 27/0 (Kasper 60; Williams 47; Thorne 21; Stott 21).
S.H.C.: 92 (Kasper 4/27; Hooton 3/17; Lyons 2/4) and 102 (Kasper 3/14; Hooton 2/14; Lyons 2/16; Wilson 2/18).
S.H.C. batted first and showed throughout an eagerness to attack. Kasper bowled fast on a patchy pitch and suffered from one or two dropped catches. Excellent gully catches were later taken by Ryan and Whatman.
A.G.S. opened with a fine century partnership reached in about 78 minutes. The pace was not thereafter recovered until Stott in the last 10 minutes before declaration hit an energetic 21 not out.
S.H.C. lost five wickets before stumps for 24 runs. On the second day a stubborn 8th wicket partnership threatened to hold A.G.S. out until the looming rain fell. Eventually 25 runs were required and the last few were obtained with the storm breaking.
v. M.A.G.S.: Won outright by 1 34 runs. This game clinched the championship for A.G.S.
A.G.S.: 124 (Kasper 49; Hooton 32) and 190/7 declared (Hooton 46; Whatman 33; Watson 32; Kasper 30).
M.A.G.S.: 80 (Hooton 3/17; Stott 3/19; Kasper 2/32) and 130 (Kasper 3/25: 1 •/ons 2/8; Hooton 2/32; Stott 2/37).
This was a most tense and exciting game. A.G.S. batted first and were in trouble all the way once the opening partnership had been broken. Kasper and Hooton batted with determination but the remainder of the

team seemed sadly affected with nerves. Our bowlers, however, fought back, supported by very good fielding, so that we had a first innings lead, which was rather unexpected.
Two very good partnerships saw us well on the way in the second innings: 1/49, 2/92. Then a collapse
saw four wickets go for four runs — 6/98, and M.A.G.S. were right back in the game. Whatman and Watson however saved the innings with a fine 7th wicket partnership of 60 followed by a brisk 32 unfinished by Watson and Stott after Whatman had been unfortunately run out. The declaration at tea gave M.A.G.S. two hours to score 234. This seemingly impossible goal looked as if it m'ght be reached while Vivian was tearing the attack apart, but after he was caught for 62 out of 98 scored in 50 minutes, wickets went quickly, the last falling to the first ball of what would have been the last over of the game.
v. Old Boys:—
An enjoyable and lighthearted game was won by the Old Boys. 441 runs were scored in the day. School batted first and lotalled 196; Ryan 60, Hooton 58.

They had a partnersh' 90 in 65 minutes. Whatman scored 22 and ¦>er 18. For the Old Boys, Jarvis took 4/15; Millener 3/44 and Sparling 2/13.
The Old Boys replied with 245/8: Jarvis 73, Carson 62, Dykes 28, Harris 21. For the school, Lyons took 3/17.
v. Christchurch Boys’ High School:—
The game was a draw in favour of C.B.H.S. Played at Christchurch, this game was really interfered with by rain. On the first day over two hours' play was lost and the ball throughout was wet. On the second day the weather cleared, but the p.tch in recover ng from the rain, went through a very difficult period.
C.B.H.S. batted first and totalled 214/9: Bull 84 and Henry 61 played fine innings and Hounsell hit a violent 41 towards the end. The A.G.S. bowlers toiled hard without much support from the field, and Hooton finished with 5/103, Lyons taking 3/102.
Kasper (35) and Williams (21) started the A.G.S. innings confidently, putting on 41 for the first wicket. 106 was up before the fourth wicket fell and it seemed that a close result on the first innings was possible.

FIRST CRICKET ELEVEN
Back Row: Wilson, M. P.; Cooke, G. D.; Lyons, L. J.; Hill, R. G.; Stott, L. W.
Middle Row: Thompson, R. F.; Hughes, P. G.; Howarth, G.; Whatman, R. D.
Front Row: Mr. M. Fairgray,; Williams, W. L.; Hooton, R. C.; Wilson, D. J.; Mr. J. B. Stevenson.

Hounsell then began extracting vicious life from the pitch and took the next six wickets. Ryan, going in second drop, played a most courageous game during this difficult period. He was hit several times on the head, body and hands, but battled on for a fine 56 that in courage and tenacity was worth many an ordinary century. A.G.S. were all out shortly after tea for 1 93.
There was no possibility of further result and in the hour's play remaining C.B.H.S.' batting was without the necessary urge to concentration and lost 5 for 35.
1965
Team: R. C. Hooton (Captain), W. C. Williams (Vice-
Captain), G. D. Cooke, G. Howarth, P. Hughes, L. J. Lyons, L. W. Stott, R. F. Thompson, R. D. Whatman,
D. J. Wilson, M. P. Wilson.
v. M.R.G.S.: Won by an innings and 46 runs.
A.G.S.: 210/7 declared (Williams 49; Howarth 38; Lyons 38; M. Wilson 30; Thompson 20).
M.R.G.S.: 87 (Hughes 5/35; D. Wilson 3/9) and 77 (Hooton 3/15).
M.R.G.S. batted first and were soon in trouble, losing two wickets in the first four overs. The bowlers were able to maintain their advantage, though a good deal of energy was wasted on wide bowling.
A.G.S. lost a quick wicket on opening, but the second partnership by Williams and M. Wilson produced a sound 80. Thereafter 4 wickets fell for 70 runs, but a fine 8th wicket knock by Lyons and Thompson added a brisk 57, permitting a declaration on the second day at 2.30. M.R.G.S. were again quickly in trouble, but a stubborn stonewalling nearly avoided an innings defeat. However, this was not to be and the innings closed at five minutes to six.
v. St. Paul’s: Won by an innings and 200 runs.
A.G.S.: 306/8 declared (Hooton 105; Howarth 51, Stott 42; Hughes 21).
St. Paul’s: 41 (Hughes 4/18; Hooton 2/5; Lyons 2/6; D. Wilson 2/8) and 65 (Hooton 6/30; Lyons 2/4).
St. Paul's batted first, but with three wickets falling to good catches in the first three overs bowled by Hughes their innings did not flourish.
A.G.S. lost a quick wicket, then two in the thirties, but a partnership of Hooton and Howarth added 126 in an hour. Brisk scoring was maintained, the 7th and 8th wickets adding 82 runs in the last three-quarters of an hour.
On the second day St. Paul's again lost their first wicket in the first over, but the second wicket brought up 43 by very stubborn batting. Thereafter the wickets fell rapidly and the game finished at ten to three.
v. Westlake: First innings loss.
A.G.S.: 130 (Howarth 42, Hughes 26).
Westlake: 194 (Stott 4/22; Williams 2/37; Hooton 2/69) and 65/6.
Westlake won this game deservedly by better all-round cricket. The pattern of the game was extremely like that of the 1964 game. Westlake batted first and made a steady start, aided by some poor fielding. Two wickets fell at 27, then a good partnership of 90 in which Parry chanced his arm with great success to swing the game Westlake's way. Three wickets fell for 17 runs, but the fourth wicket added 50. A burst of good bowling by Stott then folded the innings up.
A.G.S. batted very nervously and uncertainly against good bowling by Westlake’s medium-pacers supported by very keen fielding. Three wickets had fallen for 28 at stumps. Hooton and Howarth started encouragingly on the second day, but when Hooton deflected a

catch to the leg trap the way was open to the loss of four cheap wickets. At 9/95, hope was virtually gone, yet so sensibly and calmly did Hughes and Wilson dig in for the 10th wicket against all reasonable odds. Thoughts of reaching the Westlake score revived. Just before tea, however, Hughes lifted a ball to mid-wicket and the innings was over.
In Westlake's second innings, four wickets fell for 17 by 4.40 p.m., but the next two removed any faint hope of a further result.
v. H.B.H.S.: Won by an innings and 54 runs.
A.G.S.: 206/7 declared (Howarth 60; Hooton 45; Cooke 28; Lyons 27; Stott 23)
H.B.H.S.: 113 (Hooton 3/24; Lyons 2/24; Williams 2/11) and 93 (Stott 6/8; Hooton 2/7).
Hamilton fielded a weakened team but fought courageously in difficult circumstances. Rain as usual interfered with the game, play being held up on the first day until 1 p.m. H.B.H.S., put in to bat, started very steadily. The first five wickets took them up 110, but the last five added only three.
A.G.S. proved to be troubled by H.B.H.S.’ opening bowlers. Stumps score on the first day was 2/43, then 3/51, and 4/85, the innings was badly placed. Hooton and Howarth played a very good partnership of 80 for the 5th wicket, though the scoring might have been more venturesome once the lead was obtained. The innings was declared closed at 2.15 p.m.
Stott struck a purple patch in H.B.H.S.' second innings. He ran out Lee with a fine throw, then coming on to bowl at the 10th over, score 2/20, he bowled two maidens, took a hat-trick (3/0), bowled another maiden, then another wicket (4/1), another wicket/ maiden (5/1), ruined his average with three from the next over (5/4), another maiden, then four runs and a wicket from the next two overs—10 overs, 6 maidens, 6/8.
Hamilton were all out at 4.30 p.m.
2A
Team: W. Bygrave (Captain), M. Hamilton (Vice-Captain), R. Hill, L. Knight, S. Williams, D. Coldham, P. Hen- wood, G. Manning, G. Wylie, G. Trotman, A. Green- sides, A. Lindenberg, R. Buchanan, J. Bevin. Coach: Mr. T. H. McLisky.
The team had a very good season and won all its games. The batting in some games was not very good, although R. Hill and S. Williams, at the top of the order, were fairly consistent and G. Trotman, further down, made some good scores. M. Hamilton bowled very well and took wickets consistently throughout the season with his medium-pace bowling. P. Hen- wood, also enjoyed success with his slow left-arm bowling which the opposition found hard to play. These bowlers were ably supported by L. Knight, and it was good bowling by these players that enabled the team to do so well. Few other bowlers had a chance to show their ability. The fielding for the most part was good, especially that of J. Bevin and A. Lindenberg who held some very good catches. Results:
v. P.H.S. 1st XI: Won outright.
A.G.S.: 172 (Hill 39, Williams 30, Trotman 29).
P.H.S.: 47 (Hamilton 5-18, Knight 3-12) and 41 (Henwood 5-9, Hamilton 3-12). v. A.C. 1st XI: Won on first innings.
A.G.S.: 76 and 32-5.
A.C.: 46 (Hamilton 5-22) and 93 (Hamilton 6-34, Henwood 4-34).
v. P.C. 1st XI: Won by six wickets.
A.G.S.: 105 and 87-4.
P.C.: 89 (Hamilton 7-35) and 101 (Hamilton 5-24).

Team: J. W. Hollies (Captain), C. W. Latimour (Vice- Captain), J. K. Bell, R. S. Brooker, H. H. N. Chappell, Harvey, R. M. Haydon, M. F. Jones, G. A. Outtrim,
I. W. Gribble, B. W. Grounds, D. R. Grounds, R. S. S. J. Roper.
Coach: Mr. V. G. Bartley.
2B with two outright wins and a draw is leading the competition. Although the batting rested on the shoulders of Bell, and the bowling on Haydon (21 wickets at 3.8 each), the other team members contributed when the occasion demanded. The batting, though sometimes shaky, was always attacking, with Bell, Haydon, Outtrim, Latimour and D. Grounds the main strength. The medium-fast bowling of Haydon routed the oppositions batting and he was ably backed up by Brooker and B. Grounds in the medium- pace bowling, while Harvey was the best spinner. Latimour, with several brilliant catches and many saves inspired the team s fielding which was always so rnd and keen. The team lacked a specialist wicketkeeper but Gribble and Harvey substituted admirably. Results:
v. Manurewa High School: Draw.
A.G.S.: 1 23 for 9 declared (Haydon 45, Outtrim 21). M.H.S.: 112 for 6 (B. Grounds 4 for 34). v. Glendowie College: Won by innings and 4 runs. A.G.S.: 1 16 for 9 declared (Bell 55, Outtrim 24).
G. C.: 26 (Haydon 6 for 9, Brooker 3 for 12) and 86 (Haydon 5 for 21).
v. King's College: Won by innings and 66 runs.
A.G.S.: 158 for 9 declared (Bell 77 n.o., Latimour 25). K.C.: 20 (Haydon 6 for 10, Harvey 3 for 3) and 72 (Haydon 3 for 12, Harvey 3 for 26).
2C
Team: McNiece, B. C. (Captain); Brooker, S. P.; Caen, A. J. Cassrels, L. J.; Moore, P. R.,- Nicholls, C. D.; Norman, J. G.; Ross, B. C.,- Sai-Louie, P. E.; Short,
H. R.; Stewart, G. L.; Sullings, R. J.; Walter, A. A.; Wilson, W. J.
Coach: Mr K. A. Trembath.
Weather and one match won by default contributed to only two day's cricket in the first half of the season. The first match was won by our opponents, West- lake Boys' High School, on the first innings. The second match against Dilworth's First XI was highlighted by good fielding and bowling, but spoilt by indifferent batting.
Thanks are due to those parents who provided transport, and to Mr Trembath for his assistance as coach.
Results:—
v. W.B.H.S. 2nd XI: First innings loss.
A.G.S.: 52.
W.B.H.S.: 129 for 6 declared, v. Dilworth: Won outright.
A.G.S.: 29 and 36.
Dilworth: 15 and 47 (Cassrels 7 for 4; McNi»ece 5 for
10).
3A
Team: D. A. Syms (Captain), R. P. Whitelaw (Vice- Captain), G. R. Buchan, B. W. Burridge, R. A. Car- nachan, M. S. Cennamo, K. S. Francis, B. M. Gemmell, P. J. Johnstone, W. J. McCormick, D. L. Schnauer, P. B. Tremewan.
Coach: Mr. D. Hendl.
The team performed admirably throughout the season with an outright victory and two 1st innings wins. Because in this grade we play two-day games, it is noticeable that there were few matches played. However, the team went through the season with flying colours. It was disappointing for some of the

tail-enders not to get a bat, however they never showed any discouragement. The openers, R. P. Whitelaw and B. W. Burridge, batted admirably with Whitelaw the more prominent with numerous high scores. Others to show promise were Schauer, Tremewan and McCormick. In the field our greatest asset was the excellent spin bowling of Bruce Gemmell who took numerous wickets. Others who turned in good performances were Francis and Carnachan. The latter seemed to have lost some of the direction of previous seasons. We were disappointed to hear of Mr Hendl's departure and will miss his enthusiastic coaching.
Results:
v. T.G.S.: Won on 1st innings (Tremewan 25; White- law 4-15).
v. W.H.S.: Won on 1st innings (Gemmell 4-21; Burridge 4-25; Whitelaw 68 n.o.).
v. Northcote: Won outright (McCormick 54 n.o.;
Schauer 34 n.o.,- Carnachan 3-8; Francis 7-8).
3B
Team: B. Dobbs (Captain), G. Adamson (Vice-Captain),
N. Schultz, R. Jepson, G. Lee, A. Burn, S. Cooke, D. Roscoe, D. Bigby, P. Takle, P. Jones, M. Higgs, Coach: Mr. D. Hoskins.
The team performed reasonably well, winning three out of its f.ve matches. Its performances were notable for their inconsistency. The batting proved extremely brittle at times, but someone nearly always managed to drag the team out of trouble. The bowling attack was strong and most of the matches were won through the efforts of the bowlers rather than of the batsmen. At least six bowlers were used regularly and most of the others in the team were also able to bowl. Adamson turned in some outstanding performances with his spinners, and finished the season with a remarkably low average. He took three wickets in a row in the first match and would probably have had another hat-trick if the opposition had not run out of batsmen. The fielding was reliable without being outstanding. The team was well coached by Mr Hoskins, whose knowledge and assistance were invaluable.
Results:
v. A.G.S. 3C: Won by 11 runs (Adamson 1-39; Dobbs 33).
v. Rosmini 1st XI: Lost by 15 runs, v. M.A.G.S. 3B: Lost by 36 runs (Bigby 22 n.o.). v. M.A.G.S. 3C: Won by 1 wicket (Dobbs 7-30; Adamson 25).
v. Takapuna: Won by 9 wickets (Adamson 6-9).
3C
Team: J. W. Cunningham, G. S. Middleton, J. G. Morpeth, P. D. Page, C. M. McPhee, P. S. Craddock, J. Wood- roffe, J. S. Webster, J. S. Wood, B. L. D. Wray, N. D. Blackman, N. D. Avenell.
Coach: Mr. J. D. Jepson.
The team commenced rather shakily. The bowling was consistent, but the batting was erratic. As the season progressed, the batting improved until the last game was won outright. Webster and Cunningham bowled well. Craddock had a good batting average and the fielding in general was good.
Results:
v. A.G.S. 3B: Lost or. 1st innings.
3C: 58 (Cunningham 32).
3B: 69 for 6 declared (Cunningham 4 for 14). v. A.C.: Won outright.
1 st innings A.C.: 37.
1st innings A.G.S.: 80 (Craddock 21).
2nd innings A.C.: 37 (Cunningham 5 for 15).

Team: J. B. Chapman (Captain), S. A. Hunt (Vice-Captain), P. S. Blanshard, G. S. Boughtwood, E. K. Cameron,
R. J. E. Crowe, B. K. J. Hurst, D. H. R. Jackson,
B. R. Latimour, M. G. Taylor, R. J. Taylor, S. V. Warren, G. W. Watson.
Coach: Mr. Fairgray.
The team has had a very enjoyable season. So few points separate all teams that intense competition can be expected for the remaining games. The team commenced badly with a heavy defeat by M.R.G.S. However it improved rapidly with the excellent coaching of Mr Fairgray. After holding commanding positions in the last two matches, we were in each case held to a draw. The bowling honours were shared by Watson and Warren. The most successful batsmen included Hurst, Boughtwood, Warren and Jackson.
Results:
v. M.A.G.S.: Win on first innings.
A.G.S.: 116 (Hurst 51, Warren 27).
M.A.G.S.: 66 (Warren 4 for 14) and 9 for 4. v. M.R.G.S.: Loss on first innings.

4B
Team: M. J. McManemin (Captain), R. G. Stanway (Vice- Captain), B. B. Bensky, R. F. R. Bishop, N. G. Black,
R. R. Gallagher, J. G. Gray, S. N. Holdsworth, P. J. McDermott, D. G. Morpeth, M. J. Patterson, D. B. Rope, S. L. Watt.
Coach: Mr. D. A. West.
After losing the first match by only nine runs, the team combined well for the rest of the season. McManemin inspired the team to work well together. The team's efforts were rewarded with outright wins for all but one of the remaining games. Rapid scoring by Holdsworth was a major factor In two of the team's outright wins. Apart from occasional individual efforts, the batting was erratic and it was the team's fielding which accounted for many of the victories. Rope was rewarded for his fairly consistent bowling by taking a hat-trick in the last game. The team has been unfortunate to lose its first-term coach, Mr West, but has finished the season on a top note by leading the championship.
Results:
v. R.C.: Lost on first innings.
A.G.S.: 77 (Watt 35).
R. C.: 86 (Watt 5 for 40, Bishop 4 for 12). v. W.H.S: Win on first innings.

Coach: Mr. Ginever.
After a promising first match, the team had a rather indifferent season. The batsmen lacked application and only Pollock among the bowlers was consistently accurate.
Results:
v. St. Paul’s: 1st innings win.
S. P.C.: 84 (Pollock 6 for 36) and 54 for 4.

Team: B. Rabone (Captain), N. Noble (Vice-Captain), S. Herd, D. Bygraves, S. Cairns, A. Hill, W. Martin, J. Isaac, R. Dew, A. Gardner, A. Hunt, R. Hall, K. Hookway.
Coach: Mr F. R. Gradon.
In most cases the team members combined well together, each member playing his part in the unit. S. J. Herd, W. Martin, K. Hookway and J. Isaac bowled well and took many wickets. The outstanding batsmen were N. Noble, S. Cairns, D. Bygrave and S. Herd, D. Bygrave kept excellently behind the wickets, taking many catches and stumpings. Most of the team turned up to all the practices and batted and bowled very enthusiastically in the nets. The fielding was very sound and numerous catches were taken.
Our thanks go to Mr F. R. Gradon, our coach, whose helpful guidance is moulding this side into an effective team.
v. St. Paul’s: Won outright.
(Noble 47; Isaac 4 for 9). v. W.H.S.: Won on first innings.
(Cairns 27; Martin 5 for 25). v. A.G.S.: Won outright.
(Bygrave 24; Hill 3 for 10). v. Northcote College: Won outright.
(Herd 3 for 1; Hookway 3 for 2 and 4 for 0). v. S.M.T.C.: Won on first innings.
(Herd 58 n./o.; Hunt 43 n./o.; Herd 6 for 58).
5B
Team: A. Wallis (Captain), W. Avery, P. Tetley, R. Roberts, R. Callinan, M. Worthington, G. Yan, T. Parish, P. Hawkesby, B. Dimbleby, K. Rapson, P. Browning, G. Piggot, J. Reid, J. Simpson.
Coach: Mr. C. Faulkner.

The team started the season well with a win against St. Paul's, but followed this up with a number of very narrow and unlucky losses. The team was very enthusiastic and thoroughly enjoyed the season's cricket. Batting was the team strength with good performances by Yan, Hawkesby and Worthington.
Results:
v. St. Paul’s: Won on the first innings, v. Westlake: Lost on the first innings, v. S.M.T.C.: Lost on the first innings, v. N.C.: Lost on the first innings, v. A.G.S. (A): Lost on the first innings.
5C
Team: C. E. Mullan (Captain), A. J. McKee (Vice-Captain), G. J. Cole, M. F. Harris, L. W. Hawken, D. S. Heb- bend, R. B. Lewis, T. T. Newton, D J. Patterson, A. F. Scott, N. A. Seebold, C. R. Smaill, M. J. Walls, G. W. Willis.
Coach: Mr. J. L. B. Page.
The season started very badly with an outright loss against Rangitoto, and throughout the remainder, the team showed poor fielding ability. The most prominent batsmen have been McKee and Willis, who usually hit up the majority of the runs, the latter once achieving a score of 40, which was a quite remarkable and very commendable display. Our season continued with losses in every game but one. This, against Rangitoto College, was certainly our most improved performance since the commencement of the season. The fielding was still of a low standard though, and our coach, Mr Page, tried to improve this at our regular practices. The bowling began to reach a higher level as the term progressed, with McKee, Willis, Mullan and Walls breaking through the defence. With everything accounted for, it was a poor season, and the team hopes for better games in the coming one.
Results:
v. R.C.: Outright loss, v. L.C.: 1st innings loss, v. S.P.C.: 1st innings loss, v. A.C.: Draw, v. W.H.S.: 1 st innings loss.
6A
Team: F. J. Pritchard (Captain), G. J. Joyce (Vice-Captain),
S. F. Alpe, D. M. Cummings, D. P. Cleal, D. W. Hollies, H. P. Jellie, J. L. McLean, P. J. McNiece, P. J. Murray, B. E. Neill, K. W. Schultz, G. H. Senior.
Coach: Mr. G. A. Keall.
It was very encouraging when we won our first game with a large margin. The following games were also won comfortably excepting our encounter with North- cote when our batsmen had a hard time withstanding their fast bowling. There was good bowling by G. Joyce, H. Jellie and F. Pritchard throughout the season. Our batting was good, for everybody had his chance at scoring runs. Our outright wins over St. Peter's and St. Paul's College teams gave us a good lead in the competition and although we lost to Takapuna College, we are leaders of our section.
Results:
v. St. Paul's: Won. v. St. Peter's Won. v. W.H.: Won. v. N.C.: Drew, v. T.C.: Lost.
Played 5: Won 3, drew 1, lost 1.

Coach: Mr. W. Heppleston.
After a rather poor start for the season the team developed steadily and at the end of the first term was running second to A.G.S. 6B. Although the team is very strong in both fielding and bowling it has been let down a little by its batt;ng. The top batsmen for the season were Dunn and Martin. The top bowlers for the season were Francis and W.nslade, and undoubtedly the best fielder of the season was Everson.
Results:
v. A.G.S. 6B: Lost on 1st innings, v. Westlake (B): Lost on 1 st innings, v. Westlake (C): Won outright, v. Northcote: Won outright, v. T.G.S.: Won outright.
Played 5: Won 3, drew 0, lost 2.

TENNIS

As usual there has been keen competition by boys for places in the seven school teams entered in interschool competitions. It is becoming increasingly obvious that enthusiastic and capable coaching cannot compensate for the lack of courts at the school, which now, in face of the fine facilities recently provided at other schools (nolably King's College, Mount Albert Grammar School, Penrose High and Takapuna Grammar School) is costing us our once undisputed supremacy in inter-school tennis. All of these schools with six or more courts where team members can play every day, including the lunch intervals are now providing us with much more formidable opposition as can be seen from the results of matches shown below. Nevertheless our teams have performed well, but where the school has normally won two or even all three of the team championships each year, it has now to be content with less outstanding success. This year the Junior A team is the only championship winner, narrowly defeating the runners-up, Takapuna Grammar, in two very hard-fought matches.

TABLE TENNIS
The school table tennis championships were held in the gymnasium during the first and second weeks of the third term. Though there were fewer entries than in former years, the standard was generally high. The championship became a family affair with R. Browning and P. Browning winning all four titles between them. An upset was the elimination in the second round of the defending senior champion, R. Stevens. Juniors, J. Bunker and P. Browning, did very well in getting through to the semi-final and final respectively of the senior singles, while con testing the junior final.
Results:
Senior singles-. R. Browning beat P. Browning.
Senior doubles: R. and P. Browning beat R. Hooton and D. Wilson.
Junior singles: P. Browning beat J. Bunker.
Junior doubles: P. Browning and J. Bunker beat R. Wallace and G. Snook.

BADMINTON
Teams were selected from the following: J. W. Skeen, R. P. Whitelaw, R. H. Buckland, P. Steggall, R. A. Wallace (Junior), G. J. Snook (Junior), J. W. G. Bunker (Junior), S. E. Cato (Junior), G. R. Marks (Junior), L. G. E. Warbrick, S. C. Williams, H. R. Short.
The school badminton championships were held at the end of the second term.
Seniors (5th and 6th forms): Singles won by J. W. Skeen. Juniors (3rd and 4th Forms): Singles won by R. A. Wallace.
Doubles won by R. A. Wallace and G. J. Snook. Owing to the high standard of play compared to other secondary schools junior players were incorporated in the school's team to give them experience in match play and to make the team similar to those of other schools.
Results:
v. St. Kentigern: won 9-0, won 5-4.
v. Rangitoto College: won 6-3, won 6-3. v. Kelston: won 6-3. v. Staff: won 1 1 -4.

Some of the school's players were successful in the Auckland Badminton Championships. The under 16 Championships were won by R. H. Buckland, runner up was R. A. Wallace. Wallace and Buck- land won the under 16 boys' doubles. In the D grade the runner up was R. P. Whitelaw and Wallace reached the semi-finals. J. Skeen represented Auckland as a member of the Junior Division team.
RUGBY
This year the school fielded nineteen teams in the Secondary Schools' Rugby competition. The season was a most enjoyable one in all respects with few spells of bad weather to mar fixtures and performance. However, practice facilities were again strained, many teams having to rely on the Domain and on the Newmarket School grounds. The school greatly appreciates the way in which these grounds were made available for teams which would othe:wise have been very hard put to it indeed.
Fewer championships were won than in previous years, but all the boys who played enjoyed their games and turned out regularly for games and pract.ce. It was encouraging to see the number of teams which played into the finals of zones or championships and were unfortunate in many cases not to win grade honours. Particularly fine was the performance of the First XV which narrowly lost the championship. In spite of the loss of many experienced players, the team played good intelligent rugby with a few lapses. Most noticeable was the development of a fine style of defensive play as well as a good turn of speed in both backs and fojwards.
This year, Mr. D. Elder retired as team coach after several years of willing and time-consuming service. He has coached numerous teams to championship honours, and has earned the gratitude and respect of both school and players. His successor, Mr. C. W. Pascoe, brings a great deal of experience both as coach and player, and during his first season as coach, has put in much hard effort to bring the team to a high peak of efficiency. The entire school wishes him continued success in the seasons to come.

FIRST XV
The following were awarded caps for 1965:—
R. D. Whatman, 1963-64-65 (Captain); M. J. Hamilton, 1964-65 (Vice-Captain); D. C. Taylor, 1964-65; G. W. Trotman, 1964-65; I. D. Turner, 1964-65; J. D. Rex, 1965; P. S. Johnstone, 1965; D. J. Wilson, 1965; M. P. Wilson, 1965; Q. D. Ross, 1965; L. E. Kepple, 1965; L. G. Knight, 1965; B. C. Marks, 1965;
I. Moengangongo, 1965; G. H. Wylie, 1965; D. J. Cotter, 1965; W. R. B. Coates, 1965,
In addition: D. B. Nicholson, 5 games; S. L. Anderson, 5 games; and A. R. M. Taylor, 4 games; represented the school.
The Old Boys' Cup for the best player in the First XV was won by R. Whatman for the second year in succession. Whatman had been the outstanding fullback in last year's side, and was the logical captain this year. Although playing out of his usual position for most of the year, his kicking, his tackling, his backing up and general positional play was of the highest standard. Probably the feature of his play this year was his uncanny drop-kicking which was the difference between a win and a loss on several occasions.

J. D. Rex is tackled in the first game of the season against Avondale College.

A new award this year is the cup for the Best All-Round Performance, 1 st XV, presented by R. A. Bradshaw- Smith, which has been awarded to the outstanding forward of the team, M. Hamilton. Hamilton led his forwards by example, and his speed to the loose ball, his tremendous fitness made him a valuable member of the team. As the season progressed he became a very capable number two in the lineout.
To I. Moengangongo goes the Stubbs Cup for the most improved player. A powerfully-built boy from Tonga, Moengangongo has fine football sense, strength in tight play, and exceptional speed in the loose.
R. Whatman, M. Hamilton and D. Taylor were chosen for the Auckland Secondary School representatives.
The team this year was a very young one, with only five of last year's team returning to school. The team, however, soon settled down to become a very efficient combination, which suffered only one loss throughout the year. The forwards, although young and including two fifth-form boys, were strong and mobile, and were never really subdued throughout the season. The loss of M. Wilson in the inside backs for most of the season was keenly felt. If the fast outside backs had received the ball a little earlier, possibly more tries would have resulted.
The Secondary Schools' competition this year was remarkable for the low scores and the close results. The team's record of 102 points for and 29 against reflects this fact. In finishing runners-up to Sacred Heart College, we offer our congratulations to a very well-balanced side which played consistently good rugby. The first fifteen can take heart from the fact that they were the only team to beat Sacred Heart by the good score of 15-3.

The outside college games were closely fought and in fact were all drawn 3-all. The Hamilton High and the Wellington College games were both played on very wet days and developed into forward struggles with the packs cancelling each other out. The New Plymouth game was well-fought and had an exciting finish. The points for both sides being scored in the last 1 0 minutes.
Thanks once again to the Barbarians Club for their game and advice. Unfortunately this year’s game came later in the season, and injuries suffered by the school team were felt in the later games. Nevertheless the fine attacking Rugby displayed by the Barbarians was noted and greatly appreciated by not only the 1 st XV but the whole school.
Matches:—
v. Avondale College (at A.G.S.—1st May): Won 27-3.
Tries: Kepple (2), M. Wilson, D. Taylor, I. Moengangongo.
Conversions: Whatman 3, 1 penalty, 1 drop-kick.
Against: 1 penalty.
This was a very good start and the team scored over one quarter of the total points for the season. Avondale scored first with a long range penalty soon after the start. From then on however our fast forwards took over and dominated play. Our points came mainly in the last five minutes of each half and showed the team's fine early season fitness. Kepple gave a fine display, and his speed to the line resulted in two good tries. Whatman had a good day with his kicking to score 12 points.

v. Penrose High School (at Eden Park—29th May): Won 16-0.
Tries: Marks, Trotman, Johnston.
Conversions: Ross, Whatman. Penalty to Ross.
This game was played at Eden Park No. 2 in the annual College Day event. Following heavy rain throughout the week, the ground was very heavy and wet. A strong wind was a spoiling feature for good football. The team was slow to get started, but soon the hard running forwards led by Hamilton dictated the play and forced Penrose into the defensive. In spite of the conditions both teams attempted to pone up the game. The backs however could achieve little on the slippery ground. A heartening feature was the good display by Q. Ross who was now at fullback, as Whatman had moved to first five-eighths because of M. Wilson s injury.
v. Tokapuna Grammar (at Takapuna—5th June): Won 9-0.
Try: Johnston. Ross, penalty, drop-kick.
In the first half the team played very well, attacking strongly with both backs and forwards. The team was unable to score for most of the half because of excellent defence, especially by the Takapuna fullback. At last Johnston scored after a fine back movement, and then Q. Ross drop-kicked an excellent goal from well out. The second half was disappointing, with much of the time being spent on defence. The game finished on a better note with the last 10 minutes on attack and Ross completing a good day with a fine penalty.
v. St. Peter’s (at St. Peter’s—12th June): Won 6-nil.
The inexperience of the team was seen here, when after a fine first half and with the wind at their back the team frittered away many chances with mishandling and over-anxiousness. The first half saw good rushes by the forwards and penetration especially by D. Wilson and Taylor in the backs. Taylor's try was the result of hard running. The team was trying very hard but needed to take more care in completing movements.
v. Socred Heort College (at A.G.S.—19th June): Won 15-3. Points: Whatman, 1 penalty (drop-kick), 4 drop-kicks. Against: 1 penalty.
This game was certainly one of the high points of the season. The team, which had been training hard, but not finishing off moves in games, now clicked and played a fine team game. Whatman had a personal triumph with five magnificent drop-kicks—three of which were from about 40 yards out, and under pressure. The Sacred Heart backline always looked dangerous, but the Grammar forwards gradually took charge. Knight was proving effective at the back of the lineout, and Hamilton and Turner were strong in the tight. All the backs were very sound, but Whatman's incredible kicking was the feature of the game.
v. Otahuhu College (at A.G.S.—26th June): Drawn 3-all. Points: Whatman, 1 penalty. Against: 1 penalty.
This was certainly a reaction after the Sacred Heart game. Otahuhu p'ayed with a lot of fire and could easily have won in the second half with a runaway try which only D. Wilson's speed prevented. The forward packs were evenly matched but poor handling in the backs spoilt scoring movements. J. Rex on the wing played a splendid game and his speed and determination nearly resulted in a winning try in the last few minutes.
v. King’s College (at King’s—17th July): Won 9-5.
Points: Whatman, 1 penalty and 2 drop-kicks. Against: Try and conversion.

This was a very bleak day, but the team had a pleasing win before a large crowd. King's played with the wind in the first half, and after 10 minutes scored the only try of the match, in a fine movement that flowed across the field and resulted in the wing, Holland, scoring in the corner. In the second half, the forwards, splendidly led by Hamilton, gained the ascendancy and from then on dictated play. Whatman played a magnificent game, handling beautifully and directing play from the first five- eighths position. His two drop-kicks were superb efforts.
v. St. Kentigern (at A.G.S.—24th July): Lost 6-0.
The team's only loss and with it virtually the loss of championship. St. Kentigern thoroughly deserved their first-ever win over the school, as they played with a lot of purpose and spirit. They went on to attack right from the start with vigorous play. However the Grammar forwards came back towards the end of the first half, and after the interval, were quickly into their stride and were unlucky not to be rewarded with points. St. Kentigern withheld this, and then, about 10 minutes before time, unexpectedly, Little the fullback came into the backline, side-stepped his way through weak defence, and scored. Grammar then tried to score with their backs, and with the fullback in, but a pass was dropped, and Cummings for St. Kentigern kicked ahead and then scored in the corner. It was a fitting climax to a splendid performance by the St, Kentigern team as a whole.
v. Mt. Albert (at M.A.G.S.—7th August): Drew nil-all.
The school team was eager to avenge last year's defeat by Mt. Albert. In an exciting game played in fine weather and on a firm ground, both teams took their turn on attack and defence. Mt. Albert was prepared to concede possession in the lineouts, but were very effective in second phase rucking. M. Wilson in his first game after his injury played very well at halfback while D. Taylor at centre played brilliantly and was within an ace of scoring on two occasions. It was a tense, closely-fought match.
Non-competition games:—
v. King's College (at A.G.S.—13th August): Won 11-5. Points: Tries, M. Wilson, P. Johnston. Whatman, 1 conversion, 1 drop-kick. Against: 1 converted try.
On a ground soaked with continual rain, the team played probably its best game of the season. At half time the school led 8-0, after Whatman had dropped a goal and M. Wilson had capped a typically fine forward rush with a try, and Whatman had converted the try with an excellent kick. In the second half Grammar went on to attack and were rewarded with a try which was the best team effort of the season. I. Moengangongo broke from a lineout at halfway, passed to L. Knight on to G. Wylie and then through the whole of the backline for left winger P. Johnstone to score in the corner. Although King's rallied and P. Shorter scored a fine forward try, the team s good win was thoroughly deserved.
v. Hamilton Boys’ High School (at A.G.S.—8th July): Drew 3-all.
Points: P. Johnstone, a try. Against: 1 penalty.
This was a hard struggle played on a wet, slippery ground. Playing with the wind in the first half, the team attacked continuously but could only score once. This was the result of a clever grubber kick through by D. Wilson and good following up by P. Johnstone. At this stage poor handling was spoiling promising play. Hamilton clearly controlled the game in the second half. Too many penalties were given away in this match from one of which Hamilton kicked a goal.

THE FIRST FIFTEEN
Back Row: Cotter, D. J.; Anderson, S. L.; Wilson, M. P.; Ross, Q. D.; Taylor, A. R. M.

v. Wellington College (at Eden Park—31st July): Drew: nil-all.
The newspaper heading: 'Mud the Only Winner in
College Game" summed things up well. Playing against the wind in the first half, the school team only just managed to hold Wellington out. Led by their brilliant halfback and captain, Monaghan, the Wellington inside backs looked a formidable combination and would have been very dangerous on a dry field. In the second half, Grammar held a definite territorial advantage but chances were missed because of poor passing. Marks, Moengangongo and Hamilton gave fine displays in the forwards. It had been an interesting game, but the weather and field conditions made constructive play very difficult, v. New Plymouth Boys’ High School (at New Plymouth— 21st August): Drew 3-all.
Points: R. Whatman, drop-kick. Against: 1 try.
The field at Rugby Park was remarkably good considering the amount of rain that had fallen. There were several soft patches, however, and also a strong wind. Traditionally a hard game, this was soon evident when the first few scrums went down. How

ever the forwards more than held their own in the first half, and Taylor made an exciting break which could easily have resulted in a try. New Plymouth went on to attack early in the second half and for 20 minutes hammered the Grammar defence. They were rewarded after two quick rucks with an excellent try near the posts. This try came about 10 minutes before full time, and the match appeared to have been lost. However, with a real effort, Grammar swung back on to attack, led by Hamilton in the forwards and Whatman in the backs. Whatman just missed a 40-yard penalty, but with time almost up, Grammar efforts were rewarded when Whatman dropped a goal.
2A
Team: S. L. Anderson (Captain), R. C. Hooton (Vice- Captain), B. C. Ross, D. B. Nicholson, W. M. I. Smeeton, R. G. Hill, W. K. Fleming, S. C. Williams, P. G. Hughes, R. W. M. Jepson, J. D. McKenzie,
K. B. Anderson, P. J. Simpson, R. A. Carnachan, A. R. M. Taylor, V. F. Fukofuka, D. L. O'Connor.
Coach: Mr. T. MacKinsley.

Good attendances at practices formed the team into a well-knit unit which played good, open football during the season. Early in the season we lost fullback and kicker, Q. Ross, to the 1 st XV, but McKenzie, a forward, took over the job most competently for the remaining games, kicking many points. The team was made up of a good set of backs, notably Hooton who made some fine breaks from fullback, which combined well with a fast-moving pack of forwards. Here Jepson and Hughes were outstanding while Taylor, Fukofuka and Anderson, a former centre, worked hard in the tight. Climax of the season was the defeat of M.A.G.S. in the second game, 20-0, which assured the championship. The inspiring leadership of S. L. Anderson meant much to the team in the crucial and gruelling victory over Kings College.
Results:
v. S.H.C.: won 11-9, 17-3. v. S.K.C.: won 3-0, 22-0. v. M.A.G.S.: won 12-3, 20-0. v. W.B.H.S.: won 23-3, 6-0. v. K.C.: won 3-0. v. W.B.H.S.: won 19-10. v. H.B.H.S.: won 22-0.

Team: G. Cooke (Captain), M. Arnott (Vice-Captain),
R. Cato, R. Crosby, M. Dent, T. Gibson, E. Giles,
I. Gribble, W. Leyland, R. Penman, P. Silvester, M. Sprague, P. Sutton, C. Taylor, G. Turner, G. Wells,
P. Wilson, J. Wood.
Coach: Mr. T. McLisky.
Although H. Brown and P. White left during the year,
the team enjoyed a highly successful season being unbeaten in all the competition games without having a try scored against it. The forwards welded into a splendid pack ably led by M. Arnott whose pushover try against King's in the final was a just reward for his many grand games. Ir would be unfair to single out any of the forwards since their success was due to team effort. The games against Rosmini, Marcellin and King's were the team's best since, in each, the forwards kept up relentless pressure and drive.
Of the backs, P. Sutton, at half-back, showed tremendous improvement in his new position while G. Cooke, at first-five-eighth, controlled the game intelligently and contributed 70 points with some magnificent goals. R. Crosby, at second five-eighths, was the most- improved back, his try against King's being memorable. W. Leyland, G. Turner and C. Taylor in the three-quarters scored 28 tries, evidence of their speed and penetration. P. Silvester at fullback had an "armchair-ride" in many games but never missed his ma.i and kicked some important goals.
Results:
v. N.C.: won 62-0.
v. Rosmini: drew 3-3, won 19-0.
v. S.P.M.C.: won 25-9, won 20-3.

Coach: Mr. M. Fairgray.
2C won their zone and were runners-up to Rutherford High School in the competition final. Good team spirit was displayed under Ground's sound leadership. A well-drilled pack ably led by Dooley and Puttick gave sufficient ball for the hard-running backs among whom Fountain, Sutherland and Leonard were outstanding. A false sense of security after their earlier defeat of Papatoetoe High School left the team unprepared in the second encounter, when despite sufficient possession given them by the forwards, the backs failed to keep to their running, passing game and relied too heavily on kicking. In the final, Rutherford made the most of their few opportunities and despite our territorial advantage we were unable to score due to handling errors and Rutherford's sound defence.
Results:
v. A.G.S. D: won 12-3, won 21-3. v. Papatoetoe: won 16-3, lost 6-9. v. Tamaki: won 16-0, won 27-6. v. Pen.ose: won 1 1 -5, won 32-8. v. Sacred Heart: drew 6-6. v. Rutherford: lost 6-8. v. K ng's C: won 13 3.

Coach: Mr. C. Faulkner.
2D Rugby finished third in the zone competi ion, winning three out of the seven competition games. The dominant feature cf the season's rugby was the enjoyment which was derived from it by all those who played, despite the frequent cancellation of games, owing to the wealher, which marred the latter part of the season. The forwards, under the leadership of Lett, developed into a well-co-ordinated unit, and in the loose Rich and Hastie were particularly impressive. A late-comer to the team, Tuhega, was a force to be reckoned with in the backs and he was ably supported by Walls and Desmond. At fullback, Jordan saved many a desperate situation with his unconventional kicking and deiermined runn ng.
Our thanks go to Mr Malcolm McPhee whose helpful interest in the team improved our play almost beyond recognition.
Results:
V. 2C: lost 3-12, lost 3-21.
v. Papatoetoe High School: lost 3-19, lost 3-12. v. Penrose High School: won 5-3, won 16-6. v. Tamaki College: won 12-3.

v. King's College 2C: lost 3-12. v. King's College 2D: won 38-3.

Team: A. G. Steele (Captain), N. W. Johnston (Vice- Captain), M. L. Cadman, P. G. Cameron, P. A. Cut- field, K. S. Francis, P. J. Garret, S. R. Goudie, J. W. Hollies, N. W. Ingram, R. J. McBeath, S.

Coach: Mr. N. A. C. McMillan.
3A suffered an incredible number of injuries to key players this season and as a result finished with only a moderate record. The team s main strength lay in its forwards, who outplayed every pack they encountered. The forwards owed much to the outstanding leadership of Steele who received solid support from MacPherson and Syms. Garret, at second five-eighths, was the most resourceful back until he had the misfortune to break his collar-bone, while Cadman was a very competent fullback and an excellent goal- kicker.
The team had an enjoyable trip to Whangarei in June.

Coach: Mr. A. G. McRae.
3B had a good season and was narrowly defeated by Penrose in the play-off for the zone final. Among
the forwards, Hall and Dickey played hard in the tight, while Truman and Isbey showed great form in the loose. Ihaka, at first five-eighths, played brilliantly, making many penetrating breaks. At fullback, Whitelaw goal-kicked accurately and defended well, even under great pressure.
Played, 9; won, 7; lost, 2. Points for, 122; against, 49.

Moorhouse, T. M. Mowbray, R. P. Murray, M. R.
Sargent, A. C. Stones, R. L. Swann, P. H. Syms, T. H. Wilson, E. R. Woolford.
Coach: Mr. K. A. Trembalh.
Thanks largely to the keenness of the coach and to the development of a strong team spirit, 3C enjoyed a very successful season, winning the championship with an unbeaten record. Throughout the season, team members had an opportunity to play in several different positions. Most gratifying was the spirit in which each player took his turn to stand down.
During the season, a very compact style of forward play emerged which functioned well in both tight and loose. Adaptability was the keynote in every game.

It is difficult to single out players for special mention, but Wilson and Clarke, Mowbray and Boughtwood deserve merit for their play in ruck and lineout, while Holley and Mackie as hookers gave little away to the opposition.
The backs were well served by the solid play of Macdonald at half-back and they showed great intelligence in their judgement of when to kick or pass. Swann showed determination in scoring his eighteen tries, but in the main it was team effort and good understanding between forwards and backs that won the championship. We were unfortunate to lose Macdonald through injury near the end of the season, but Bailey at second five-eighths deserves credit for the courage and determination he showed as reserve half-back. Many thanks are due to all those parents who took such interest in the team's fortunes.

Hunter, M. F. Jones, J. L. McLaren, C. K. Masters, B. R. Nash, M. J. Newton, S. E. Robbie, P. M. Waterhouse, G. L. Watson, J. P. Wildman.
Coach: Mr. T. J. McNamara.
The team, though suffering many defeats throughout the season, and gaining no competition points, improved considerably and displayed good team spirit. Rope, at full-back, showed great promise, and Robbie proved sound as second five-eighths. Bowen ably led the forwards, with Cook looking well and Wildman and Watson outstanding in the loose. The team was unlucky to lose Ling and Eastman through injury, while Mackie and Pardy played only one game each.
Results:

Coach: Mr. J. E. Brundell.
The team enjoyed a fairly successful season winning 10 of the 13 games played. 4A won its zone, but lost the semi-final to K.C.
The forwards and backs combined well to give fine, bright, entertaining rugby throughout the season. A fast, efficient service from the base of the scrum by Gemmell, enabled the backs to score many fine tries. The forwards led by Stewart improved throughout the season, developing into a fairly efficient ball-winning combination. The outside backs scored

fine tries, thanks to the many glorious breaks achieved by a set of attacking inside backs. Particularly outstanding were Martin and Heeps on the wings; Kavali at centre; Stewart at lock; and Tremewan for his fine kicking.

Coach: Mr. D. M. Hendl.
The team had a successful season, winning its zone but being beaten in the inter-zone play-off. The forwards were ably led by Cameron with Seebold and Burridge prominent. The backs combined well to score very many tries; Adamson and Bishop proving invaluable,- and McKeown was an excellent goal-kicker and captain. Mr Hendl was a keen and popular coach.

Simpson, M. A. Simpson, P. Stanish, K. A. R. Walshe,
T. D. Walshe.
Coach: Mr. G. A. Keall.
This year's 4C was a talented and vigorous unit. Although lacking in size, the team, through coaching and leadership, made use of its mobile loose forwards ably led by Stevens and Dare. It used its few opportunities through the inside trio of Roscoe, Founta n and Sai-Louie. The latter was the team's top try and points scorer with nine tries. Cover defence and backing-up were encouraging characteristics and it was in these departments that Boggs showed resourcefulness and calm. The team did not have its line crossed all season.
Results:
v. P.H.S.: won 15-0, won 20-3. v. S.H.C. C: drew 0-0, won 9-3. v. S.H.C. D: won 64-0. v. S.P.C.: won 1 7-0. v. K.C. C: lost 6-0.

J. G. Gray, D. W. Hollies, J. Middleton, J. G. Morpeth, G. M. Rose, B. C. Schmidt, R G. Stanway, G. Yan.
Coach: Mr. P. J. Cusack.
The team played interesting football throughout the season. The forwards won the ball from a large proportion of tight and loose play while the backs produced some sparkling movements. The notable features of the season were the teamwork and the steady improvement of the backs. In the forwards, Gibbons and Allen were always effective, and Morpeth won most scrums. Stanway and Jarvis combined well in the backs. Berghan played intelligent football on defence.

Coach: Mr. R. G. Twine.
The team had a very good overall season, being defeated once and drawing once. Finally we were co-winr.ers with Henderson High School after a gooa game against them. We greatly enjoyed our two non. competition games with King’s College. Unfortunately the game against Marcellin was marred by rain.
During the season, Bygraves kicked well and was always sound at full-back. Senior and Barrat-Boyes ran well in the backs. In the forwards, Ah Num and Wilson played well in the tight, while Stevens, Pateman and Flavell were good loose forwards. Crowe jumped well in the lineouts and Wilson hooked so well that we were rarely without possession.

E. G. Hatrick, T. Hill, G. Thompson, G. C. Hawkesby, M. W. Herrick.
Coach: Mr. K. J. Pascoe.
The team this year played in Zone II, and was perhaps unfortunate to meet such an outstanding team as that entered by Tamaki College who won the zone competition, and went forward to the finals.
We were fortunate to have Mr K. Pascoe as coach. He moulded a good combination, with wonderful team spirit.
More points were scored for the team than against it, and the players had a very enjoyable season of rugby.
Results:
v. S.K.C.: won 30-0, won 23-0. v. S.H.C.: won 1 1 -0, won 3-0. v. T.C.: lost 0-5, lost 0-9. v. L.C.: won 17-0, won 14-0.

Coach: Mr. W. E. Heppleston.
A particularly strong-spirited team, 6B was successful in winning its zone and ended as co-runners-up in the competition. In the forwards, Dunn and Dickson both showed promise and in the backs McVerry and Bennett. Unfortunately the team did not have a good kicker and thereby lost many valuable points. Thanks go to the faithful parents for contributing transport and also the coach, Mr Heppleston.
Results:
v. N.C.: won 18-0, won 3-0. v. W.H.S.: won 6-0. v. R.C.: drew 5-5, won 8-3. v. S.P.C.: won 6-0, drew 0-0. v. R.O.S.: won 30-0, won 28-0.

Coach: Mr. J. D. Hoskins.

The team played consistently during the season, winning the zone but losing the championship to De La Salle.
The forwards played well, with Fyers and Phillips scoring wonderfully in the wet weather. The backs' play was also excellent. Hawke at full-back saved many games with well placed tactical kicking.
The season turned out to be a successful one, with the forwards using wet-weather tactics to the best advantage.
Results:
v. M.C won 21 -0, won 31 -0. v. D.S.: drew 3-3, won 6-5. v. S.P.L.: won 12-0, won 29-0. v. S.P.: won 31-3, won 34-0. v. M.A.: won 6-3.

HOCKEY
FIRST XI
Once again the First XI had an eventful and most enjoyable season, with success in the Auckland Secondary Schools Championship and reaching the semi-finals of the N.Z. Secondary Schools Tournament in Hamilton.
Auckland Secondary Schools Championship:
With three players returning from last year and two others who had played games for the 1 st XI to provide an experienced core, the prospects looked hopeful for a successful season.
The opening match however, saw a close encounter with a vastly improved Takapuna side. In fact, almost all games were closely fought, for the general standard in schools has improved, making for a more interesting competition.
After a period of wet weather we met our co-leaders, Kings, on a firm ground. This game undoubtably showed that the team had fighting qualities, for it came back with a decisive finish.
Although encountering stern competition from Papatoetoe and Mt. Albert, we entered the second round undefeated.
The second round saw a similar series of hard fought games with Kings again providing stern opposition. The team showed steady improvement in control and co-ordination, this being reflected in the second round scores. We were unfortunate to lose, through injury, our vice-captain R. Thompson.
At the end of the season, however, the team had come through unbeaten, winning the championship by a margin of six points.
The following gained their colours:
W. Williams 1962-63-64-65, Captain; R. F. Thompson 1964-65, Vice-captain,- K. Gorringe 1963-64-65: D. Coldham 1964-65; R. Alpe 1965; H. Chappell 1965; P. Clark 1965; G. Gillies 1965; D. Murray 1965; R. Prebble 1965; E. Rikys 1965; J. Robbie 1965.
Coach: Mr. R. D. Mayhill.
Results:
v. Takopuna: won 4-3. v. St. Kentigerns: won 8-0. v. Kings: won 3-0. v. Papatoetoe: won 3-2. v. Mt. Albert: won 5-3. v. Takapuna: won 7-2. v. Kings: won 5-2. v. Papatoetoe: won 5-2. v. Mt. Albert: won 8-3.

THE FIRST HOCKEY ELEVEN
Back Row: Gillies, G. L.; Alpe, R.; Clark, P.; Murray, D. W.
Middle Row: Chappell, H. H.; Prebble, R.; Mr. R. D. Mayhill; Rikys, E.; Robbie, J. Front Row: Coldham, D.; Williams, W. L.; Thompson, R.; Gorringe, K.

Played 10, won 10, goals for 57, goals against 18.
Practice Games:
Our thanks go to Grammar Old Boys and The Wanderers, who visited us twice, and also to Varsity and Training College.
These games showed us that speed to the ball and good backing up are essential if we wish to retain possession of the ball. We also thank all the parents and supporters for their loyalty and help throughout the season.
Seven-a-Side:
Once again we travelled to Hamilton on Queen's Birth day. We entered three teams, the A' team emerging a clear winner scoring 17 goals without conceding any.
Visits:
We met a confident Hamilton Boys' High team on our own ground and in a very keen game we won 6-3 with Coldham, Williams, Clark and Gorringe playing well.
In the other annual fixture, we travelled to Whangarei. Playing the Boys' High on a perfect surface, the

team showed good combination to win 7-1. We thank the Boys' High for billeting us and making our trip very enjoyable.
N.Z. Secondary Schools Tournament:
The team travelled to Hamilton to compete for the Rankin Cup which was contested by twenty-four teams representing the best secondary schools of the year.
Coming through the most difficult section, including much- fancied Nelson College and Hutt Valley teams, undefeated, we met Christchurch Boys High in the semi-final.
Playing on a quagmire, we lost vital initiative through a hesitant start. After being 3 goals down the team rallied in the second half to put in 3 goals but one was disallowed.
At the end of the game, the Grammar side had a territorial advantage but couldn't notch the deciding goal.
Our congratulations go to the Boys' High in successfully holding the Rankin Cup. We also thank our Hamilton hosts for billeting us and the Organising Committee for a pleasant tournament.

Tournament results:
v. St. Andrews: won 4-1. v. Nelson: won 5-2. v. Fairfield: won 5-2. v. Hamilton Tech.: won 5-0. v. Hutt Valley: won 3-1. v. C.B.H.S.: lost 2-4.
Congratulations to Coldham for being selected for the tournament team.
Congratulations go to Williams (Capt.), Gorringe, Cold- ham and Rikys for gaining places in the Auckland Secondary Schools' team that played the touring English schoolboy internationals, the Swifts. Clark, another of the core of strong players, was unavailable.
v. “Swifts”:
This year we had a unique opportunity in being able to play the English Swift " team.
In a fast open game, on a good surface, Grammar had the best of it but failed to capitalise on a couple of open goals in the first half. With the score still nil-all half way through the second spell, it was only after fullback Rikys had left the field through injury that the Swifts gained ascendency and won 3-1.
It was a good performance by Grammar in holding a side that had won all its other games against New Zealand Colts teams and been held to a draw only by the Auckland Secondary Schools side which was captained by Wayne Williams.
The season concluded with a trip to Tauranga in conjunction with the Old Boys annual encounter. By inflicting on Tauranga its only loss of the season, 3-1, we had defeated both co-holders of the Ind'a shield (the other team being Kings). Our thanks to Tauranga for a good day and the Old Boys for taking us there by car. Once again the team owed much of its success to the captaincy and clever play of Williams. His sense of dedication and
willingness to learn and to practice the finer points of the game, were an inspiration to all.
A pleasing feature of the season was the marked
improvement in the hockey of almost everyone in the
team. Williams was judged the best all round
player and Rikys the most improved player.
2A
Team: S. R. Hofmann (capt.), H. H. N. Chappell (vice-
capt.), A. Brown, J. Cunningham, W. G. Haydon,
I. C. Hebbend, N. R. Jenkins, R. H. Muller, I. B. Murray, G. N Pooley, J. G. Robbie, M. Taylor, P. R. Thompson.
Coach: Mr. Mayhill.
Results:
v. Glendcw e: won 8-3, drew 3-3. v. Mt. Roskill: won 2-1, won 1-0. v. Northcote: won 8-3, won 3-2. v. M A.G.S.: drew 2-2. v. Avondale: won 5-0. v. Kelston: won 6-1. v. Kings: lost 1 -3.
Goals for 39; against 18. Won 7; drew 2; lost 1.
The team had a reasonably successful season and considering coaching difficulties, Mr Mayhill being fully occupied with the First XI, did well to win the zone, and come runners-up to Kings in the Champ^onsh'p. 2A appreciates the interest taken by W. Williams, of the 1st XI, who boosted the play in a number of games.
The team had a number of good individual players but lacked combination, and it was not until the later part of the season that it played as a whole. The

players were always cheerful, and the team spirit remained high, right until the end of the season.
Ian Robbie's promotion to the 1st XI after three games, was a great loss, as he was one of the best forwards, and scored a good number of goals. Ian Murray, too, was a great asset to the team, for with his excellent stick-work, he gained most of the goals. We were also very lucky to have consistent goal saving by A. Brown.
2B
Team: G. Marks (capt.), J. Moore (vice-capt.), R. Anderson, R. Browning, P. Hosking, J. Just, R. McCollum,
T. Tandy, S. Wallace, G. Wilkie, J. Woodroffe.
Coach: Mr. K. B. Radford.
At the beginning of the season there was little combination in the team, with the games being won by individual play. However, as the season progressed, much closer teamwork developed and this saw us through to winning the 2B zone final. The toughest opponents were Pakuranga and only after a great effort we were able to draw 2 all. Our thanks to Mr. Radford for his guidance.
Results:
v. Manurewa: won 5-1.
v. Papatcetoe: won 6-4.
v. Selwyn: won 8-1.
v. Westlake: won 1 -0.
v. St. Kentigern: won 7-0.
v. Northcote: won 7-0.
v. Pakuranga: drew 2-2.
v. Takapuna: won 4-0.
v. Kings: won 2-1 (non-competition).
2C
Team: R. M. Reynolds (capt.), K. L. McKenzie (vice-capt.), P. I. Armstrong, G. J. Blaicklock, A. H. Eagleson,
K. Flavell, P. J. Forgie, D. H. Graham, B. B. Hulbert, P. H. Nathu, E. J. Taylor, M. A. Tong, B. Worthington.
Coach: Mr. K. B. Radford.
Despite many cancellations of practices and games, the team improved considerably during the season. By the end of it, the halves and backs showed better ball-control, and the forwards were displaying constructive team-work. All games were played en thusiastically, which helped maintain a good standard of hockey.
Results:
v. Takapuna: drew 2-2. v. Henderson: lost 1 -3. v. Seddon: drew 4-4. v. Avondale: won by default, v. King's-, lost 2-3. v. Rutherford: won 2-0. v. Seddon: lost 1 -4.
Played 7, won 2, drew, 2, lost 3. Points for, 12; against, 16.
3A
Team: S. Alpe (capt.), C. Piggot (vice-capt.), P. Browning, R. Brown, S. Cairns, J. Hayward, J. Kay-Stratton, M. O'Hara, W. Porter, R. Stewart, J. Wood.
Coach: Mr. V. G. Bartley.
The team began the season with a good win against W.H.S. and went on to improve its standard of play throughout the season. Most of the team played consistent hockey and in particular J. Kay-Stratton proved himself to be an excellent goalkeeper. Apart from the disappointment of several wet Saturdays when play was cancelled, the team enjoyed a hard fought exciting season of games.

Coach: Mr. V. G. Bartley.
The team played with enthusiasm and plenty of spirit. Although they were not organised in the first games they settled down to play consistently for the rest of the season. It should be noticed that several boys had never played hockey before, but improved during the season, especially T. R. Bradstock, the goalkeeper.
Results:
v. M.A.G.S.: lost 5-0, lost 1 -0. v. M.A.G.S. B : lost 2-1, won 2-0. v. Mt. Roskill, lost 4-0. v. Lynfield: lost 6-0, lost 12-0. v. Glendowie, won 2-1.

J. Joyce, M. Prebble, D. S. Hebbend, P. G. Light- Dourne, A. J. Franklin.
Coach: Mr. D. A. West.
At the beginning the season, the team played quite well and gradually improved as the season progressed. Although inclined to be individualists the players finished second equal in the competition. Although the defence of the halves and backs was very sound, the forwards did not combine well. This was most evident in the match against Lynfield College—the eventual winners of the competition.
Played 8, won 5, drew 1, lost 2.

4B
Team: D. C. Sawyer (capt.), C. L. Baker (vice-capt.), D. A. Bull, P. C. Cameron, R. K. Dowling, L. C. Hyman, H. P. Jellie, D. A. Johnston, J. W. Mandeno, P. Nana, A. F. Scott, D. M. Stanton, M. G. Thomas.
Coach: Mr. D. H. Parker.
Although a number of the games were played in wet, muddy conditions, the team performed well in taking third place in the championships, with seven points. The most improved player in the team was L. C. Hyman, who, taking over in the absence of the team's goalie, proved so proficient in this position, that he retained it throughout the season.
Results:
v. Aorere: lost 0-14, cancelled, v. Otahuhu: lost 0-4, cancelled, v. M.A.G.S.: drew 2-2, lost 1 -5. v. St. Kentigerns: won 6-1, cancelled, v. Selwyn: won 2-0, won 4-2.
Played 7, won 3, drew 1, lost 3.
Points for, 15; against, 28.

Eleven teams were fielded again this year. As in other codes, grounds present a very serious problem, and we look forward to the days when training will not be so irksome, and we can return the hospitality which we now receive at most other schools.
The First XI was strong, and several players gained
representative honours—Colin Latimour for the Auckland under-21 side; Keith Warrington was captain of the Auckland Junior National Cup side; Geoff. Howarth played in the Auckland Under-14 team; Sandford and Owens were selected for the North Island Under-14 team.
FIRST XI
Team: K. J. Warrington (capt.), C. W. Latimour (vice-
capt.), B. R. Latimour, A. J. Brennan, G. P. Howarth, D. J. Spencer, C. J. Marshall, L. J. Lyons, S. J. Herd,
L. W. Stott, G. J. Tegg, P. C. Tutt, B. R. Dobbs.
Coach: Mr. J. D. Jepson.
The Herald s pre-season comment on this year's 1st XI competition named Mt. Roskill as the team to beat. This prediction, although it was greeted with d s- approval in the A.G.S. camp, did turn out to be accurate, for the team was forced to concede the
championship honours to Roskill by one point.
Nine players returned from last year and with players
of the calibre of Dobbs, B. Latimour, Herd and
Howarth, to complement this group it remained only to consolidate the best combination. The defence was quick to knit itself into a strong unit, but experiments with the arrangements of the forwardline continued for a number of weeks.
The season began auspiciously with a well merited 4-2 win over our old rivals Mt. Albert in an exhibition match at Newmarket park. The team’s standard of football was complimented from all quarters and
the goals scored would have done credit to any premier side. Herd was the leading goal-scorer
with a season's total of 21, followed by Stott with 1 8, and almost every other member of the side with goals to his credit.
Our congratulations go to Mt. Roskill who deservedly beat us in our encounter. It was unfortunate for
the team that, while they were looking forward to second-round revenge, it was announced that the championship would be decided only on first-round games.
The annual games against Whangarei and Hamilton High Schools gave the team a 4-4 draw and a 5-2 win respectively. The team also did well to beat the Training College team 3-2 as they play in the second division competition.
The 1st XI entertained the Christchurch Boys High team during the August holidays—the first time in the schools histories that their two soccer teams have met. The result of this hard-fought game was a 2-2 draw. It would be a good thing for school soccer if a yearly visit could be arranged between the schools along the lines of the annual cricket trip.
Results:
v. Avondale (at Avondale)—May 1st. Won 2-1.
Scorers: Tegg, Stott.
A disappointing game. Avondale scored first, but Stott soon equalised, and a snap shot from Tegg who at centre-forward in our experimental forward line took us into the lead just on half-time. Poor finishing hindered any addition to the score.

v. Lynfield College (at the Domain)—May 29th. Won 14-0.
Scorers: Marshall 3, Stott 3, Lyons 3, Herd 2, Tutt 2. With the team on excellent form Grammar dominated the game. The flow of goals was regular and shared by all members of the forward line, and the midfield passing was machine-like in its precision.
v. Otahuhu College (at Otahuhu)—June 5th. Won 7-3. Scorers: Stott 2, Herd 2, Marshall 2, Lyons 1.
This game was one of !he highlights of the season. At this stage, only three teams remained unbeaten— Roskill, Otahuhu and ourselves. Otahuhu began at a great rate and hit our crossbar in the first minute. Moments later fullback C. Latimour was called on to save a shot off Grammar's goal line. Grammar began to settle down and Marshall, who had a fine game, opened our account. The game was fast and exciting with both teams playing good football. Grammar had the edge in teamwork, and the decisiveness of the attacks eventually made the difference. Brennan had a good game for Grammar.
v. Kelston High School (at the Domain)—June 12th. Won 8-3.
Scorers: Stott 3, Lyons 2, Spencer 1, Tutt 1, Marshall 1.
Not a satisfying game. Grammar controlled the game but too many defensive errors put Kelston in the picture.
v. Mt. Roskill (at Mt. Roskill)—June 19th. Lost 2-3. Scorers: Stott 1, Dobbs 1.
This was the most vital match of the season. It was played on an excellent surface before an enthusiastic crowd of about 500 spectators. Grammar scored first after fifteen minutes, when the ball was headed into the net by Dobbs from a melee in front of their goal.
Roskill equalised with a twice-taken penalty, but a controversial goal to W. Stott put Grammar in the lead again. The ball hit the underside of the crossbar, hit the ground and spun out but the linesman ruled that it had crossed the line. Roskill equalised again from a good attacking movement and then took the lead with a long lobbed shot.
There were no goals in the second half but play was fast and exciting. In this spell Mt. Roskill had a
territorial advantage and it was only solid defensive play by the Grammar team, especially B. Latimour in goal and centre-half K. Warrington, that kept the score down.
v. Takapuna Grammar (at Takapuna)—June 20th. Won 7-4.
Scorers: Herd 3, Stott 2, Tegg 1.
The game was played under muddy conditions which made good soccer impossible. Before half-time, Grammar tried to play pattern football but the ground was too heavy. In the second spell Grammar adopted a long passing game, sending long balls up the wings to open up their defence. These tactics proved successful, and mainly through some intelligent crosses from left-wing Tegg, Grammar scored 4 goals to Takapuna's 1.
v. Rutherford High School (at Rutherford)—July 3rd. Won 2-1.
Scorers: Tegg 1, Tutt 1.
A new team in the competition gave us a hard game. With several positional changes the team fought strongly to maintain an edge throughout. Spencer performed well at centre-half whilst Warrington was away playing a representative fixture.

v. Westlake High School (at the Domain)—July 10th. Won 14-1.
Scorers: Herd 8, Marshall 2, Stott 1, Lyons 1, Howarth 1, Latimour 1.
Playing good football throughout the game, Grammar over-ran Westlake. Herd dominated the scoring in a lively fashion by being on hand to finish off the many fine moves brought about by the combination of backs and forwards. Herd, on this performance, shows signs of becoming a very valuable forward.
Played (Competition): 9, won 8, Drew 0, lost 1. Goals for, 58; against, 1 7.
Played (Non-comp.): 6, won 4, drew 2, lost 0. Goals for, 24, against, 1 2.
SENIOR B
Team: S. P. Brooker (capt.), R. S. Harvey (vice-capt.), R. K. Anderson, R. S. Brooker, A. G. Clark, D. A. Cole, B. K. Hurst, J. L. Stringer, R. J. Sullings, M. J. Patterson, S. Tait.
Coach: Mr. Fyfe.
The team improved constantly throughout the season and, although several games were cancelled before the conclusion of the season, the team was highly placed in the championship. The boys played well together as a team and finished with a good record. On the whole, a good season, marred only by bad weather and closed grounds.
Results:
v. M.R.G.S.: won 1-0. v. S.M.T.C.: won 2-1. v. K.H.S.: lost 2-1. v. R.H.S.: won 6-1. v. H.H.S.: won 4-1 . v. M.R.G.S.: won 5-2. v. S.M.T.C.: lost 3-2.

Coach: Mr. F. Gradon.
The team played with a fine spirit throughout the term. Our backs made a sound combination, but the forwards were slow to settle and work as a unit. The competition was very even and only four points seperated the top and bottom teams of the grade at the end of the first round. Our team improved much to win all of its second-round matches. However, lack of time prevented the completion of the championship and the final result was decided on the performances of the first round. This meant that we finished runners-up for championship honours. Thanks are due to our coach, Mr Gradon, for the noticeable improvement in teamwork.
Results:
v. Tamaki College: won 1-0, won 3-1.
v. O.H.S.: won 4-0, won 2-0.
v. Pakuranga College: won 3-0.

Front Row: Mr J. D. Jepson; Latimour, C.; Warrington, K.; Brennan, A.; Tegg, G.

Apart from the first and second games, the team did not play as a unit for the first round. This weakness was not overcome until the end of the first section. It was unfortunate that the Domain was closed so many times, restricting practice so much. As a result of this poor weather, the last three games were cancelled. It would have been interesting to see
how we fared against the three teams which beat us so soundly in the first round, now that we were combining better.
We appreciated those parents who turned out every week to watch us play. We would like to thank them for the advice and the transport that they provided. We also owe a debt of thanks to Mr. Gradon and Mr. Page for the way in which they coached and managed our team.

Coaches: Mr. Gradon and Mr. Page.
The team got off to a good start with fifteen players. This number later increased to sixteen, and as a result, there was never any shortage of players, with spares for most positions. Under the coaching of Mr. Page and Mr. Gradon, the team went from strength to strength, and finished the competition second equal with S.M.T.C.
In the first round all games were played, and it was not until half-way through the second round that conditions became too wet to play in. As a result the last three games were cancelled. It was quite a good season overall, and many thanks are due to the

coaches for their untiring work in training the team, and to the parents who helped provide transport, and who supported the team each Saturday.

For the second year running the Junior A team came third in the Championship. This was a very creditable performance, because the earn was not as strong as last year's and only three players, Owens, Cucksey and Sanford, would have been automatic selections for that side (all three were selected at the season s end for the Auckland Under 14 Touring XI), while Neill and Hicks would have been close contenders.
The team was very strong on defence, rarely conceding goals, but lacked the ability to capitalise on this advantage by snapping up scoring chances in the forward line. The best two goals were both scored against Onehunga, by wingers Bogiatto and Hicks.
Among promising players in the side were brothers of recent First XI captains, Parkinson and Cleal. Parkinson had some useful moments in the forward line, while Cleal improved tremendously during the season to become a solid, attacking half with sound cover- defence.
Results:
v. M.R.G.S.: won 2-1, drew 0-0.

JUNIOR B
Team: R. W. McMillan (Captain), J. R. Fitch (Vice-Captain), J. G. Dahlin, H. Toft, J. P. Jerrta, J. H. M. Moore, J. M. Cruickshank, R. C. McDonald, N. D. Alford, R. C. Heighway, A. J. White, A. N. Brennan.
Coach: Mr. Hume.
This team was definitely not up to last year's standard, and was a less mature side. They tried for a place among the winners, but lack the strength to gain it. The team played against adverse conditions as well. Many thanks must be given to the coach, Mr Hume, and to the parents who provided transport and gave their support each Saturday.
Results:
v. Henderson: drew 1-1, lost 2-1. v. M.A.G.S.: won 10-0, lost 5-3. v. S.M.T.C.: lost 3-2, lost 1-0. v. Kelston: won 3-0. v. M.R.G.S.: won 8-0.
Played 8; won, 3; lost, 4; drew, 1.

JUNIOR C
Team: H. N. Budhia (Captain), E. S. Coutts (Vice-Captain), G. R. Marks, G. J. Little, P. W. Moody, C. R. Smaill, P. W. Woodroffe, D. W. Robb, E. W. Rogerson, J. P. Keall, D. J. Patterson, H. Hollins.
Coach: Mr. J. M. Hume.
The team played seven games of which we won two, drew one, and lost the others. Although we did not have a very successful season we enjoyed every game. The outstanding players this season were Coutts, Marks and Little who helped the team to victory in its two successful matches.
BASKETBALL
The following team was selected to play in the Auckland Secondary Schools A grade second d.vision Championship held at the Panmure Youth Centre on September 25th: M. J. Hamilton, R. M. Haydon, J. R. Higgs,
O. Le'auanae, A. A. Lovus, P. E. Pezaro, A. C. Reid,
D. W. Sutcliffe.
Pezaro and Lovus were unable to play because of injury, but the remaining six played extremely well to win the championship. All team members rebounded well, and our man-to-man defence worked efficiently to restrict the scoring of the opposition. On attack, our hard-driving style of play produced most of our points from lay-ups or close jump shots. Games played were as follows:
v. St. Kentigern: Won 62-21.
St. Kentigern were a taller team which tried to play us with a man-to-man defence. The scores were fairly even for the first 5 minutes. Then we settled down to pass and drive at the basket, taking advantage of individual weaknesses in the opposition. All of our players scored good baskets, with Ham Iton compiling 20 points.
v. Rutherford High School: won 43-15.
This team relied mainly on one outstanding player to score their points. However, Hamilton marked him man-to-man and minimised his scoring ability with
close marking and good support from the rest of the team. Rutherford played a zone defence, and our double post attack opened up the centre for good
baskets by Higgs and Hamilton, who again scored 20 points.
v. Penrose High School: won 44-14.
Penrose also opposed us with a zone, so that once again we attacked with our double post offence. Hamilton
drove down the centre and used the fast break to
score 21 points, while Haydon drove well down the left for a total of 12. Again, all team members worked hard on defence to stop Penrose shooting and to pick up most of the defensive rebounds.
v. Glendowie College: won 25-10.
This was the final of the tournament. Unfortunately, we chose to play our worst game for the day. Glendowie set out to attack our defence with only three players, leaving two guards at half-way. This enabled us to pin down their scoring rate, which was just as well, for poor shooting and passing ruined our own attack. With 2 minutes to go, we were lead ng only 16-10, but then we came to life and scored 9 points in quick succession. Chief scorers were Hamilton 8, Higgs 7, and Le'auanae 6.
JUNIOR A
Team: A. C. Reid (Capt.), J. A. Dallimore, R. J. Deeming,
E. P. Dzedins, C. G. Giffney, O. Le'auanae, A. A. Lovus.

This team won the Western Schools Junior competition with an unbeaten record. Points for were 240 and against 79. Top point scorers for the year were
Lovus 77, Le'auanae 59, and Reid 48.
Throughout the season the team played good basketball, although if their second half efforts had been
equalled in the first spell of each game, they would have produced an even more impressive points record. The defence was always sound, but the attack relied more on individual effort than team
play. In a 3-man knockout competition run at the
end of the year, A.G.S. A1 consisting of Reid, Lovus, Le'auanae and Giffney, defeated AGS A2 (Dallimore, Dzedins, Deeming) in the final.
Results:
v. Lynfield College: won 32-10. v. Mt. Albert Grammar A: won 21 -4.
v. AGS C : won 24-0.
v. Avondale College B: won 27-9. v. Mt. Roskill Grammar: won 45-24. v. AGS B : won 35-9. v. Mt. Albert B : won 44-6. v. Avondale College A: won 18-13.
JUNIOR B
Team: A. J. Parsons (capt.), B. S. Duffy, P. R. Jones, D. Paton, S. J. Rod, P. W. Tetley, S. DeL. Bennett.
This team did very well in the Western Schools Junior Competition. They were placed third equal with A teams from Avondale College, and Lynfield College, and were the only team, apart from AGS A, to beat second-placed Mt. Roskill Grammar. Points for were 115, against 127. Top point scorers were: Jones 37, Parsons 32, and Duffy 18.
After several heavy defeats early in the season, the team practised hard to improve and notch some good victories in the last half of the season. Often out- scored from the field, they worked aggressively to win games by good rebounding at each basket.
Results:
v. Avondale College A: lost 13-25. v. Lynfield College: lost 13-17. v. Mt. Albert Grammar A: won 14-1 1 . v. AGS C: won 16-11. v. Avondale College B: won 10-8. v. Mt. Roskil Grammar: won 16-14. v. AGS A: lost 9-35. v. Mt. Albert Grammar B: won 24-6.
JUNIOR C
Team: G. R. Miller (capt.), R. D. Agate, J. A. Keesing,
N. D. McCollum, R. G. Maberly, C. K. Tremain, G. R. Yates.
The team was placed seventh equal in the Western Schools Junior Competition. Points for were 86 and against 140. Top points scorers for the year were Agate and Miller with 30 each.
Although frequently outplayed by more experienced oppo sition, the team refused to be over-awed and fought gamely for points in every game. Their great determination in rebounding upset even our own A team, and they finished the season with a commendable win over Mt. Albert A.
Results:
v. Avondale College B: lost 2-23. v. Mt. Roskill Grammar: lost 12-17. v. AGS A: lost 0-24. v. AGS B: lost 11-16. v. Mt. Albert Grammar B: won 19-10. v. Avondale College A: lost 1 1-22. v. Lynfield College: lost 19-22. v. Mt. Albert- A: won 1 2-7.

INTER-SECONDARY BASKETBALL JUNIOR TOURNAMENT
The following boys were selected to represent the school at the first Junior Intersecs, held at the Mt Albert Gymnasium on 9th October.
Dzedins, E. P. (Captain); Parsons, A. J.; Dufty, B. S.; McCollum, N. D.; Agate, R. D.; Tetley, P.W.; Rod, S. J.
The team trained very hard for the three weeks before the tournament. Unfortunately, Rod was unable to play, but the remaining six gave a very good performance. Games were as follows:—
v. Henderson High School: Won 19-17.
(Dzedins 8; Agate 5; Dufly 4).
Although we went to a lead of 14-6 soon, after half time, we became upset by Henderson's close, bustling style of play. With one minute to go, we were one point behind. However, a free throw by Agate and a good basket by Dzedins saw us safely home.
v. Mt Roskill Grammar: Won 30-10.
(Agate 12; Dzedins 8; McCallum 4; Parsons 4).
The score was again 10-6 to us at half time, but in the second half we made many fast breaks to produce 20 points. Everyone rebounded well and the passing was good. There was some very effective defensive work by Dzedins and Parsons.
v. Penrose High School: Won 16-7.
(Dufty 8).
We took some time to settle down, and trailed 4-6 at the change-over. Good defence in the second half prevented Penrose from scoring more than one free throw, while we kept pushing the fast break to score regularly.
Final, v. Westlake Boys’ High: Lost 12-8.
Westlake were a much taller team and used their height to run up a lead of 12 points to nil. After a time-out to make the necessary adjustments to our defence, we defended so effectively that Westlake failed to score another point in the rest of the game. All team members worked hard and intelligently, in a way that would have done credit to any senior team.
Unfortunately, our shooting was astray, and we were unable to make up those 12 points by the final whistle.

SOCCER PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Our congratulations go to Mark Burgess who has just won the New Zealand Football Association trophy for all-round ability.
While he was at school, Mark distinguished himself in both the First Soccer XI (1960-62) and the Cricket XI (1959-62), captaining both in his final year. He was a prefect for two years.
Mark represented Auckland in many of the junior soccer teams and also had the rare honour of playing for Auckland in the senior side while still at school. A master commented, His play shows a spirit of adventure and aggression which confounds his opponents."
On leaving school he joined Eden and gained further honours in the Auckland Under-21 team and the first division reps. This season Mark's soccer flourished and he won recognition from the National selector, Lou Brocic, playing in the N.Z. Under-25 side and the Auckland XI against Christchurch.
