Editorial

The most common criticism made of " The Malvernian " by boysat school here is that it is stuffy and unimaginative. Perhaps a briefexplanation of the policy behind this so-called stuffiness might help tosilence some of the complaints.

The " hundreds of pages of sports results," which are the targetfor so much criticism, exist because " The Malvernian " is the onlypermanent and official record of these results and it is obviously in theschool's interests to keep a record of them. They do not exist simplyto satisfy the egotistical desire of the games-players to see their namesin print. At the same time these reports help to keep the many OldMalvernians, who are interested in the school's sporting activities, up-to-date with the news. The same principle applies in the case of reportingsuch things as speeches at Commemoration.

The second great complaint is that there is no freedom of self-expression in " The Malvernian." But this is not true. The LiteratureSection exists for that purpose and the answer to those who complainthat their work is rejected is that they should express themselves better.This does not mean that everything has got to be intellectual, but onlythat it should be of a reasonably high standard.

House Magazines are the outlet for self-expression of all typesand several commendable magazines of this nature have appearedrecently. They are not poor relations of " The Malvernian " but aresimply an alternative medium through which more people can expressthemselves. For this reason they should be encouraged, as self-expression,either in words or on paper, is something at which no one is perfect.

And yet, how often are those people who voice the loudest complaintsthe very last to improve the situation by writing anything ? Andsimilarly, how often are they the last people who would have theinitiative or the energy to produce a magazine themselves in which theycould express themselves exactly as they want ? Not very often Iwould suggest. Under these circumstances it is difficult to have muchsympathy with their complaints.

Summer Camp in Germany

The prospect of combining a trip to the continentwith the inevitable army camp was rather attractive. Infact, the whole idea of managing to escape from whatwas tending to look like a labour camp on BodminMoor completely betook me to " apply for Germany."

To pass over the terra firma matters and the agesspent on boat and train, let it suffice to say we arrivedat Lippstadt late on Sunday afternoon.

One's first impressions of the barrack rooms wererather gloomy. The rooms were uselessly tall and thewalls were, to say the least, bare but when the effectsof fifteen hours travelling had worn off, the roomstook up a slightly brighter side. At first, the army wasnot apparent but a closer inspection revealed a list ofsuch articles as broom, green, sweeping for the use of.(Until this camp, I had quite seriously believed that thisform of writing was only found in comic war films.)The beds were extremely comfortable but the clothinglockers were, I thought, meagre.

Our first meal was supper and consisted of a ' fry-up,'breakfast was also a ' fry-up,' if I remember rightly,lunch was also fried . . . . Quite seriously though, thefood was not at all bad. For the week we spent thereit was very good although I don't think that I couldlast on that sort of food for months on end, neverthelessone could never complain of hunger as plenty of foodwas supplied.

So much for the domestic side of camp. Some timeafter our arrival we were gathered together andintroduced to the officers who were going to be with usfor the following week. Having arrived completelyoblivious of what was in store, it was most relieving tolearn that a planned programme was arranged for us.Briefly, it consisted of a two day exercise with the D. 11radios followed by a shorter exercise with an artillerybattery.

Before our radio exercise we were shown theMohnesee Dam, the one that was bombed by thedam-busters in the last war. It was a pleasant outingmarred slightly by the fact that we travelled the 25miles there and back in a three ton truck. Later whilein the north, on location, we were taken to BelsenConcentration Camp. I was very surprised to see ithad been made into a very serene public park. It wasbeautifully balanced between a memorial to the deadand a reminder of the horrors committed there. Thepark seems to be something which is well-known butgets little publicity.

Our first exercise, with the D.ll's, was carried outwith all seriousness over a night and a day. It was asharp change from a Malvern College field day exercisethat fails because of lack of any serious participation.The whole exercise was ' great fun ' except for the lossof sleep and the intolerable waiting that seems toaccompany army programmes. The exercise with theartillery battery was not specially arranged for us, aswas the radio exercise, and it was thus all the morereal. Again, it was a most enjoyable exercise.

I will not go into any detail on this angle on campbecause there was another side which I found muchmore enthralling.

The first part of this essay has described in a ratherscantilly diagrammatic form the course of our armycamp in Lippstadt. I enjoyed this side of camp verymuch. It had at last pieced together some of the trainingthat I had undergone in the ' platoons.' Nevertheless Ifound that the inside look on the British Army waseven more interesting. At last the British Army hadgraduated from an advertisement in a colour supple-ment to the real thing.

I have never really thought about a career in thearmy, but this camp gave me some idea as to whatsort of career it would be. Basically it is a 9-5 job withthe added ' sting' of having to rise early. There is nowork at weekends, a fact I was very surprised to learn,and ample breaks are provided for meals. There wasplenty of grumbling and soldiers would often say," Don't join the . . . . army, lad," but this was notreally said in complete seriousness and there were veryfew men who hated the army that much. There was, infact, one soldier who, as he saw it, was better off thanthe ordinary man in " civvy street." Board, lodgings


and clothes were free. Most articles could be obtainedcheaply at the NAAFI, and on top of all this is one'spay. This is quite sound reasoning but life in the armyobviously has drawbacks — the soldier, in question hada wife in England whom he had not seen for quite sometime.

In the particular regiment we were with, the soldiersdid very little all day. As far as I could see, they justtended to their radios and their vehicles. This, theyadmitted, became rather tedious and they were all gladto go on an exercise. The general feeling was thatalthough exercises were pretty rough, it was a good laughto look back at them.

Another point that surprised me was that most ofthe soldiers were satisfied with " seeing the world." Itisn't really a myth after all and one person even feltinclined to think that it was worth joining for that verypurpose.

enjoyed camp I found the way in which it was areflection on life in the British Army much moreinteresting. It was a great eye-opener and has dispelleda lot of wrong ideas and formed many new ones. Imight even say that army camps at the end of thesummer term should always be carried out with somesection of the British Army so that everyone can formclear ideas about what those advertisements are reallysaying.

The Island Cruising ClubSailing Trip on " Provident"

JULY 1969

I wondered, being stationed in B.F.P.O. 19, whetherany of the soldiers ever listened to " two way familyfavourites," (Radio 2 12.00 Sunday). When I asked,the soldiers laughed — it was apparently a naivequestion.

" Provident " sailed out of Salcombe on Sunday, July20th, 1969 on the start of a week's cruise across thechannel with a crew consisting mainly of four girlsfrom M.G.C. and six boys from the College. The boyswere supervised by A.F.V-R.

A point I noticed, as an onlooker, was the " feud "between officers and men. There seems to be an awfulgap, very much comparable to that between shop-floor workers and executives, which keeps the officersfrom the men. This I suppose is inevitable but is some-thing which I had never thought about before.

With all the fuss about the army on the Rhine, I wasinterested to see the local reaction to the army. Whiledriving, in convoy, from Lippstadt to Sattau a lot ofthe passing German people waved and were very friendly.There was one very strong exception but generally thearmy seemed to be liked.

One of the things which I found amazing was thechildren's reactions. While we were camped up in awood two young boys rode by and although theynoticed us, they did not bat an eyelid. I found thisamazing, especially when I consider the wonder thatwould have been incurred in me if I had found anarmy encampment by my house when I was six. All inall I think the local attitude was very friendly but this,I believe, is not so all over Germany.

This essay has not gone into the actual day by dayaccount of camp because, as I have said, although I

The first day out was the most eventful, the only daywith a stiff breeze and everyone was sick, except A.F.V-R. The stomachs were soon settled once feet wereplaced, 20 hours, and a long night later, on firm groundin a Normandie Port called Morlaix. The day wasspent socialising with the French and tasting localproduce in the cafes. We floated out of Morlaix thenext day on a flat calm and made very slow progress,even with the engines on towards the Channel Islands.The weather was very hot and in between sunbathingand fishing over the side, we took turns to steer, scrubthe decks, peel potatoes and do the washing up. Theanchor was dropped in St. Peter Port Harbour, Guernseyat 5 o'clock the next morning. We tied up beside aGerman cargo ship and a Dutch yacht both of whichhad crews who were extremely affable and suppliedus with Guernsey tomatoes and Dutch lager. We spenta day and a half exploring St. Peter Port and visitedthe museums, underground hospitals and other remainsfrom the German invasion. St. Peter Port was crowdedbut we managed to find a square inch of beach to swimin. We also swam in the Channel over the side of" Provident " when we moved to outside St. Peter PortHarbour. We sailed back to Salcombe and went ourseparate ways on Saturday morning. It was a mostenjoyable week and the crew all got on extremely well.In fact it was such a success that most people arethinking of doing the same next year.

DRAMA SECTION

" Macbeth "

This year's School play, which was performed in conjunction with the Girls' College, was staged much earlierin the term than usual. By so doing, the most senior boys and girls who were Oxbridge candidates, were able totake part. This was quite an important innovation because, for the first time for several years, the productioncould call upon all the available talent and not just that in VIb and below. It would appear from rehearsalsalso that there is a good deal to be said for laying the basic foundations in the summer term, learning the partsin the holidays and having a ' crash course' of rehearsals in the first three and a half weeks of the winter term.Certainly nobody had time to get stale or tired of protracted rehearsals and morale was always high (though thismay be attributed to the happy inclusion of the spear carrying Marx brothers from No. 6).

The choice of play was admirably suited to the talents available and the ameneties (not to say comfort) ofthe Festival theatre added markedly to the theatrical success of the three performances. The greater area of stageallowed for ease of movement and a feeling of depth in the many crowded scenes.

The portrayal of Macbeth by J. H. Coleman was extremely powerful. Though perhaps lacking in nobility, hemanaged cleverly to develop the part from the vacillating yet ambitious thane to the ranting king who is ' cabined,cribbed, confined,' striding about the stage like a caged wild beast. This portrayal was complemented by anextremely good performance from Julie Hayward as Lady Macbeth. Dominating and strong from the start, shewilled her husband into the murder of Duncan with a truly castigating tongue. Then gradually she portrayed thelessening of her control over Macbeth and the emptiness which she felt after she had achieved her ambition to beQueen. This was admirably seen as she left the disrupted banquet, glancing pathetically back at the disarray. Inthis way she motivated the break down to be seen in the sleep-walking scene which she performed magnificently.In both the central parts, the acting really made the point of the emptiness which Macbeth and Lady Macbethboth felt when they had achieved their ambition to be King and Queen.

The evil instruments of fate, the Witches, who are so difficult to make horrific enough today, achieved a spinechilling effect from the very first scene (a black Mass sacrifice) to their last (a mumbo-jumbo religious ceremony).They introduced a stabbing theme which was to continue throughout the play and with the aid of smoke, grotes-que make-up and the incantation of the lines added to the horror of the play.

T. N. Young as Malcolm developed his part (an extremely difficult one) well, and achieved a feeling of con-fidence in him as the new ruler at the end of the play. E. M. Dehn gave a controlled performance as Macduff,though perhaps it was difficult to believe that he was warrior enough to confront Macbeth at the end. Banquo wasplayed by T. P. Stockil, who made a dignified and honest contrast to the tainted Macbeth.

The part of Lady Macduff, though small, was well handled and the scene in which she and her family weremurdered was extremely successful, thanks also to the viciousness of the first Murderer and the careful portrayal ofthe Macduff family. R. L. Andrews as the Porter produced the necessary lightening of tension between the twopowerful scenes which come before and after his entry.

The standard of acting of the rest of the characters was generally high and the production was heightened bysome imaginative lighting, Stratford costumes, lavish ladies' costumes made by the Girls' College, effective make-up and eerie music.

Of the three performances, those on Friday and Saturday were free from the minor mishaps of the first night(of course a sword broke !) but the total staging had pace and was efficiently handled. J. S. Macfarlane, as stagemanager, deserves full credit for the control of the production throughout all three performances and indeed controlof the producer himself — it is rumoured that he ordered him off the stage during a rehearsal because he (theproducer !) was smoking.

Billy Budd

This play, written by Lewis Coxe and RobertChapman after the novel by Herman Melville, wasperformed with confidence although they did become theby boys in their first two years. As well as the actorsall key positions, such as stage manager, lighting staffand prompter, were occupied by boys and the hugeamount of work which they put into rehearsals andthe efficiency which resulted in the performance con-tributed a great deal to the success of the production.

The acting on the whole was adequate and therewere moments when it became outstanding. Woodside,Kennedy and Don, as the three central characters,performed with confidence although they did become thevictims of the gym's accoustics on occasions. The effect-iveness of the killing at the end of Act II was quiteremarkable. Of the other players the officers were notquite commanding enough until the last scene, althoughHooper produced a good performance on a very smallscale and both Hopkins and Holland acted well inother smaller parts. All the actors in Scene One deservehigh praise for the way in which they carried on inthe face of some very embarrassing behaviour by certainsections of the audience.

On the whole the cast and stage staff worked welltogether as a team and the lighting staff (Dodson,Bomyer and Bassett) deserve special mention for theirhandling of their very complicated job including somevery smooth black-outs and for providing some effectivelighting in the funeral scene with its beautiful sunsetand in the last scene which finished with the wholecast silhouetted against a blue background.

The object of such a production is to give experienceand instruction to young boys who feel inclined to actand it is hoped that when they " tread the boards "later in their school careers they will put this knowledgeand experience to some use.

At first the girls were on top, due to their greater and morerecent experience. The boys found stopping the ball hard forthe first quarter of an hour until Edginton paved the way bytrying forward defensive cricket strokes and by distributing byhalf-cock golf shots. Armed with such technique and withtheir greatly superior speed, the boys were able to out-stripthe girls' defence, and after fifteen minutes, Stockbridgeslipped between two defenders and crossed the ball into themiddle of the D. Cruden was there to score.

The game settled down, with Crowther dominating themid-field with slick stick work, supported by Edwards whoseplay lacked finesse but not enthusiasm. By half time, thescore was 2-0, Denney having caused such chaos with a hardshot that the goalkeeper in desparation kicked the ball intoher own net.

The second half began with Stockbridge having troublewith his bullies. However, since Andrews had been broughtout of goal on the suggestion of the self-appointed captain,Stockil, the girls began to launch some dangerous attacks,even though Andrews, without pads, still kicked the ball in theD. Speed still told, and soccer tactics, such as quick build-upsby the boys and the long cross ball had the girls' defence atsixes and sevens. In the quick breaks, the two wingers, Stockiland Weatherill, were particularly dangerous, the latter lookingmost professional at times. Rogers too, at right half, began tocover ground with great alacrity, and Young held a masters'daughter in check with some hard tackling.

Prefects' Hockey

The annual hockey match between the School Prefects andthe Girls' College School Prefects was held on Sunday, 26thOctober at M.G.C., the proceeds from the " gate " going toShelter.

After Cruden had scored again, the girls' hit back with ashock goal after a melee in the D, scored by the right inner.As though such an insult could not be tolerated, with someparticularly skilful play down the left, uninterrupted by theUmpire's whistle, Weatherill put a hard shot into the farcorner of the goal, giving the 'keeper no chance. The scoreremained the same to the end, despite wave upon wave offurious attacks by the boys and quick breaks by the girls.The latter were stopped mostly by Edwards who was cautionedby the crowd for body-checking. The boys' main fouls camefrom turning and offside but despite the shoddiness of the play,the game provided great entertainment.


THE LIBRARIES

During the year there has been spent on baoks about£1,000, of which about £250 came from gifts. In additionthere have been gifts of books from Mrs. Kettle,Mrs. R. T. Colthurst, N.R., A.D. and R.K.B. Moremoney has been spent on Biology than on any othersubject. During the current year we hope greatly tostrengthen the Sociology section of the Grundy,especially by buying new books on Economics.

The new shelves in the Memorial Library are agreat success. For the first time books on Hobbies andPastimes are easily accessible, and are consequentlyfar more used than before. Many books on suchsubjects as Radio, Acting, Film and Photography whichhave been kept in the Grundy because of lack of roomin the Memorial Library have now been transferred.

The Stack or Reserve Library down in the basement

of the main building is now full, so space will soon beshort in the Grundy. It seems that the only way in whichthe Library will be able to expand is by an extensionover the Art School, quite an expensive operation as itwould involve building another floor.

The Library of Recorded plays is now well used.The Phillips machines are standing up well to the wearand tape breaks are less common than the Librarianfeared. We hope to build it up to include all well-known English plays, and some French and Germanones.

Our Libraries are now used by a number of SixthForm Ellerslie girls both for borrowing from and forworking in. We welcome them, and are always happyto extend our unusually good facilities to boys andgirls from other schools.

SCHOOL MUSIC

School music was dealt with very comprehensively and in depth in the last issue of The Malverniun, and as itis difficult for a mere Prefect of Music Schools to approach the knowledge of the Director of Music, this term'sreport will centre on appreciation of audiences rather than appreciation of the music performed !

The concerts of the latter half of the last term and the first half of this term are interesting indications of theswing towards the rank and file. The only possible exception to this is the Commemoration concert, which wastraditionally formal. The appreciation of such a concert must lie with those better equipped for judgement than mostof the boys of the school, although doubtless Michael Reed's piano concerto impressed all and sundry. The Porgyand Bess at the end of the concert was a welcome introduction of less difficult music to what is normally a veryformal occasion.

In less formal concerts, there has been a far greater appeal in the music played, greatly increasing the appreciationof such concerts by the boys.

The Serenade concert, now almost a tradition in itself as a counterpoise to the Commemoration concert, wasrelaxed and satisfying. Those who have sat on the grass banks of the quadrangle under a calm summer eveningsky know only too well the warmth of Mendelssohn. A combination of warm-sounding music with the more stridentsound of " Kiev " or Offenbach makes an evening of both reflection and more pagan enjoyment. The setting,the informality, the appeal of the music together make the Serenade one of the year's most successful concerts fromthe boy's point of view. And nothing can compare with belting out " Rule Britannia " at ten at night, on an eveningwhen even a Whitty contralto will carry down across the Vale of Evesham !

I think it is a measure of the standard of technique attained that such occassions can so consistently afford suchpleasant listening. Even the Informal concerts, of which the fourth was given this term, designed to be a breaking-in ground for players unused to concert performances, have a standard of performance that makes each individualitem worth listening to. Once again the informality adds to the enjoyment, both for the audience and for the players,for the most frightening thing to many a boy is the formality one tends to associate with concerts.


As school music reaches a standard when it is consistently worth listening to, and as formality is reduced tomake concerts less of a trial of strength, so the natural interest of each and every member of the school in musicfinds fulfillment. Although both the Eton Madrigal Choir and The Scholars gave popular concerts, the latterachieved the distinction of being enjoyed universally because of its range of choice. Where concessions are madeto modern, more familiar sounds, the audience as a whole reacts very favourably.

But it is in House music that the greatest potential lies. House suppers usually have associated with thementertainment evenings in which music is an integral part of the general free-for-all. The enjoyment of listening to" Right Said Fred " sung, played, enacted replete with dismantled door, falling ceiling, chaos, or to the music of aprofessional jazz group hired for all the beer they could drink in one evening, are both most valuable contributionsto the realization of music in all its forms in the life of the member of the school. As music appeals more and moreto the individual boy, as he becomes more aware of its potentiality for simple pleasure and for deeper communication,so one hopes that his life, our life is enriched. The sensitivity of the music staff to this need and their approach tohelping us, the boys, meet it, is very enlightened and stimulating.

SOCIETY SECTION

Amateur Radio Society

At last we have two licensed members. These areNick Parker (§) G8CYA, and David Jones (7)GW8COP. Time has been limited for operations dueto work, but the equipment is now operational, andwe hope to enter some of the Radio Society of GreatBritain contests in the near future.

The task of renovating the aerials was undertakenat the begining of term. With many a danger to lifeand limb, they were lowered, repaired, and then re-erected.

We hope to arrange a visit to the Heathkit show-rooms in Birmingham next term. This should proveinteresting to members who have little knowledge ofcommercial equipment. We hope to be able to operatetheir demonstration 2 metre station.

We now have some keen younger members, whomwe hope will take the Radio Amateurs Exam nextyear, and graduate to the realm of the transmittingamateur.

Bridge Club

After its customary summer break, the Bridge Clubhas resumed its weekly meetings on Saturday after-noons, attracting boys interested in learning the gameand improving their play. The emphasis this term hasbeen on promoting the use of the Acol system ofbidding as a common basis from which to developfurther techniques. Several matches against other schoolshave also been arranged for later on in the term,including duplicate matches against teams fromCheltenham and Bradfield. Many thanks again toM.J.P.K. and J.C. for their invaluable assistance andinstruction.

Debating Society

The three major debates this term have all been wellattended, and the standard of speaking has been in-creasingly good. It is noticeable that in debating withthe girls' schools boys are very much more confident inexpressing themselves convincingly from the floor —whether what they say confidently is worth expressingor not.

First as guests of Malvern Girls' College we debatedwith Belmont R.C. school their questionable motion' that the Roman Catholic church is needlessly hypo-critical.' Roberts (4) spoke very well in a dry, humorousvein, combatting the massed ranks of pre-packagedspeeches from the floor —and their block vote defeatingthe motion. Then Ellerslie were our guests on the subject' that a Classical Education is now folly' — amusinglyproposed by M. D. Kettle (3), and ably rejected byA.J.R. The motion was duly carried by 22 to 18.

The first major debate is with Malvern Girls' College,Cheltenham College, and Cheltenham Ladies' College— all gathering in the Salter Room. The motion is' that this house deplores the Permissive Society' —but at the time of going to press the result can onlybe imagined.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme

The Scheme at Malvern College continues to be aspopular as ever. At the end of October each year I haveto return to the Award Office in London answers to acensus-type questionnaire. There are always three mainquestions. How many young people have entered theScheme during the past year ? Can you give the totalnumber of young people known to have been takingpart in some Award activities during the year ? How


many Awards were made by your Authority duringthis period ? Answers to these questions are requiredfrom all Operating Authorities and subsequently formthe basis of an important part of the Director's AnnualReport — that they are broken down into Bronze,Silver and Gold need not concern us here.

Over the past five years, the only years for which 1have been able to keep records, the annual averagenumber of Entrants has been 57 (1968/69 : 66), Parti-cipants 128 (1968/9 : 108), and Awards 23 (1968/9: 18). While I would be the first to admit that statistics

in this context are not particularly valuable, they doat least serve to show that at any one time perhapsone fifth of the school is deriving benefit and/or pleasurefrom some of the many activities that the Award Schemehas to offer. And this is important, as I have urgedbefore ; to gain an Award is quite an achievement, butit is by no means the sole aim of the Scheme. Thoughthe Award Office continues to be worried that thereis a large element of drop-outs, it does recognise thatmany of these young people may have acquired somelasting interest through participation in the Scheme.The situation at Malvern as shown by the figures abovedoes, I think, reflect in miniature the overall nationalpicture — with the one notable difference that in GreatBritain as a whole only 2% of the age group qualified toparticipate in the Award Scheme does so.

occasionally, by playing good shots. However, with aslightly weaker team against Hillstone a defeat wasregistered. This was due to some brave play by theopposition who were also less careless and, therefore,hit the ball over the net rather more often.

Players were : - Christie P.A., Dawson, Houlbrook,Hughes J.G., Jenkins A.P.M., Jones B.P., Knights,Maudsley, Price D.H., Trotter, Williams P.J.M.

The usual outings were arranged on Field Day andtwo coaches visited Longleat and Warwick Castle.

French Society

The last meeting of the Summer Term consisted ofa musical evening — Edith Piaf was the subject, andN. Cobham and T. Stockil talked about her life andher songs, and played a wide variety of the latter toillustrate the talk.

This term, our first meeting was a reading of " L'Alouette " by Anouilh together with the Girls' College,at which, due to lack of members, we were assisted byvarious members of the staff. It was an unfortunatechoice of play, but there was entertainment value aswell as educational value in that.

We meet again on the 9th and 30th of November.

Ferrets

The Ferrets programme for the Summer term got offto a fine start with a very entertaining lecture by JohnHuntley on " How Films are made." This included asilent film with Harold Lloyd, which certainly was thehighlight of the evening, and extracts from " SummerHoliday " and " The Bridge over the River Kwai."

The second lecture was given by Ley Kenyon aboutunderwater diving, on which he is a world authority.His fascinating talk included a film on the research intoShark repellants and some ideas about the future ofsea-farming.

Later in the term an evening was devoted to anorienteering exercise organised by Mr. Walton. Mostpeople seemed quite happy running around the hillsbut with little success, and it is hoped when this exerciseis tried again more care will be taken in following theinstructions given.

During the term a tennis competition was run butwas not successful as many pairs failed to play theirmatches regularly. More successful, however, were thetennis matches against some local preparatory schools.The Wells House and Seaford Court had suffered abit from lack of practice due to the weather and playedrather tentatively; the Malvern pairs, although theywere by no means faultless, managed to keep the upperhand making use of their share of good luck and,

The Forum

On June 5th N. J. Parker read a paper on " the moralproblem of heart transplants," in which he voiced thewidespread misgivings about whether doctors can eversay with absolute certainty that life is extinct when theheart is still beating; and he hoped that the inventionof artificial hearts might one day by-pass the moralproblem. The discussion on heart transplants broughtout little that had not already been covered in thepaper, and as at one point we strayed onto the subjectof Euthanasia, we stayed there for the rest of theevening. Here the moral problems are of course farmore acute; but the general feeling seemed to be thatwhile a person had a right to end his own life, no onecould be asked to do this for him.

" Social Injustice " was the title of M. N. Whitelaw'spaper on October 2nd ; and the topics he consideredwere fee-paying schools ; the treatment of immigrants ;the abuse of the Welfare State; and the resourcesabsorbed by the space-race and the Vietnam War. Heshowed that on none of these was it possible to see onlyinjustice in the present state of affairs, though eachcontained an element of it. Most of our discussionconcerned itself with idealism : what sacrifices forthe underprivileged can one expect, in theory andin practice, from the privileged if the former happento be a weak minority ? What happens to our youthfulidealism when we get older ? Uncomfortable questions,these.


German Society

The German Society now makes use of the facilitiesprovided by the Malvern Anglo-German Society.This term there was one film : Das fliegende Klassen-zimmer by Kastner which was shown in the Girls'College. In future there will probably be at least onefilm each term.

The Law Society

The society has met three times in the last two terms.All meetings have been attended by a solid core ofregulars though lately junior interest was revived.Last term in June, Mr. C. Barton, having recentlyqualified, gave a very interesting talk on the training ofa barrister. This term S.C.W. spoke on the LawCouncil Reform and later Mr. D. Perry Davy is goingto talk on some unusual aspects of his work as abarrister. S.C.W. has also organised some very interest-ing speakers over the next year.

The Lucretian Society

The Society continues its tenuous existence. Onediscussion meeting and one open meeting took placein the Summer term. At the first, Dr. Ferguson stimulatedmuch thought by his remarks on the place of sciencein the school curriculum. Having challenged us todiscern to what extent he was sincere, he questioned thetraditional balance of school science subjects and arguedfor a gradual introduction of the natural sciences aftera more general mathematical course. This found favourwith certain of those present. Others were less sure butalso less vociferous.

At the second meeting, Dr. Parkinson, Deputy Directorof the R.R.E. addressed a packed Salter Room on' Low Temperature Physics.' Here the liquid nitrogenand oxygen flowed free and the theory was expertlyillustrated by some spectacular demonstrations culmina-ting in the shattering of a frozen egg in the midst ofthe audience. We are very grateful to Dr. Parkinsonfor being able to come and to give us such an interestinglecture.

This term only one meeting has been held so far atwhich S. J. Charlton read an excellent paper on Scienceand Industry, discussing the inter-relationships of pureand applied chemistry. The general conclusion fromthe discussion was that aspects of the Chemical Industryshould be considered more frequently in school chemistrycourses. We now await with great interest an addressby Mr. Wilkinson on the history of the theory ofevolution.

Natural History Society

This term's Indian Summer proved a godsend to

members, all of whom were able to undertake observa-tions in the field and active collecting from mid-September until well into November both in the regularweekly periods and at other times.

The variety of the projects has been maintained andenhanced. Three particularly intensive schemes havebeen, the collection and rearing of local plant gallsinduced by insects, the collection of fungi with thepreparation of spore prints, and the development of theherbarium material inaugurated last year. Records havecontinued to be gathered for the Lepidoptera Atlas,and we are very grateful to friends who, though notactually members of the Society, have contributed toour records. We are hoping that our participation in theNest Records Scheme organised by the British Trustfor Ornithology will do something to help the design ofconservation programmes on a national basis.

Probably the highlights of the term were the twospecial expeditions.

On September 27th, a half-day excursion to Hartle-bury Common was attended by nearly all members.Finds of special note included water scorpions in themain lake, localised populations of the viviparouslizard, and sand-wasps in great numbers within theheathland zones.

Hope End was utilised as the venue for the all-nightwatch for migrant birds (redwings and waders) onNovember 8 - 9th. The weather put on a gala per-formance for the occasion — gales, calm conditions,cloud and driving rain, clear skies and the brilliance ofautumn constellations, marked rises and falls in tempera-ture, all helped to make the night one of the mostinteresting we at Malvern have yet experienced in thiswork ; and the huge passage of birds overhead fluctuatedin a fascinating manner with the climate variations.Stormy conditions in the Border counties had probablydone much to urge migrants into southern areas, andwe were fortunate to strike what seems to have beenthe peak for the West Midlands. Boys were able atthe same time to observe some of our badgers and tocollect those bizarre invertebrates, the phosphorescentcentipedes. There was also a single record of a ghost,either the accepted resident or a new challenger.

As always, we are indebted to parents for help withtransport.

The Numismatic Society

This society finally succumbed to student powerand was handed over to two joint secretaries. So farnumbers have been few, but it is hoped that these willincrease together with decimalization, due to the in-creasing value of the ' old penny' etc.

Boys are supplied with a private locked draw in whichto keep their shekels, francs and so forth. Mr. Sayer


is willing to exchange and sell coins, and later thisterm the sorting of the collection housed in his class-room will get under way. This should prove interestingas no one knows exactly what is there.

Don't say you don't care twopence about coins,because if the two pennies are rare dates, it may meanyou care a lot!

Philatelic Society

With four inter-school stamp exchanges this term ithas been a good opportunity to complete those elusivesets. A lot of swapping has taken place with a fewmembers breaking up their Great Britain collectionsin order to specialize in other fields. Next term a com-petition for the best display of a certain topic of stampswill be held.

Railway Society

Last term (Summer) the Club had two outings. Earlyin June we went to Hartlebury to see some TractionEngines. It was an unusual but enjoyable change fromSteam Engines. At the end of last term a small partywent to Tyseley (in Birmingham) to drive two privatelypreserved locos. This was a very successful day out.

R. M. Raymond5593, Kolhapur, at Tyseley on 21st June, 1969

This term we did a repeat of last Winter Term'souting. We took a large party to Tyseley Open Day.This is a Railway Rally organised in conjunction withBritish Rail. This means there is a large display of bothsteam engines and diesels along with many sideshows.

Most of the first half of the Summer Term wasspent in the preparation of the Clubroom so thatparents could inspect it over Commemoration Week-end. The layout was improved by the addition of somescenery and the Clubroom was repainted.

This term the terminus station has been relaid andthis promises to be much better than the originalscheme. This has needed a new baseboard and muchhard work.

The magazine, started recently, has continued toflourish. The Commemoration issue was a bumperedition and the other copies have kept up a high standard.

Later this term we are showing, at an open meeting," The General." We have seen some slides in the Club-room. After half-term a booklet, about the History ofthis Club, is to be published. This has been compiledby C. M. Whitehouse (6) and makes very good reading.

Next term's activities have yet to be decided but wewill be having some films and going on an outing.

The Socratic Society

On June 12th, C. J. Spring read a paper entitled"Life — a good th ing?" While well av/are of themiseries in the world, Spring took a positive line : it isno use depressing yourself about things one cannot orwill not alter; if one can enjoy life, it is one's duty todo so ; and the possibility of happiness as the result ofchoice (and not of conditioning, as in " Brave NewWorld ") tells against a tragic and fatalistic view of life.Everyone seemed to feel very strongly on this topic.We took up a point in the paper which suggested thatthe troughs of tragedy are necessary for the peaks ofhappiness to be reached, and could not decide whethera more even tenor was not preferable. But the keenestdivision came over the question of whether happinessin the present state of the world is not akin to com-placency unless one was satisfied that one had doneone's best to reduce the amount of misery in the world.

One of the best meetings in recent times took placeon September 25th, on the basis of a paper by R. L.Andrews entitled " Mathematics As More Than Mathe-matics." He claimed for it not only that it is an extremelyprecise language and that without its application wecould not have made the scientific progess we havemade, but that its philosophical aspects throw a lighton Man's place in the world. Man has either discoveredor fashioned the key which explains the way theuniverse works. If he has discovered it, its validitymust transcend Man ; if he has created it, " what acreation ! "— After that we spent most of the eveningtrying to define what truths could and what could notbe meaningfully expressed in mathematical terms, withthe computer enthusiasts well to the fore in anticipatingthe day when great poetry could be understood,expressed, and produced in terms that a computercould handle. Even those who could not go along withthis were still awed by the awareness of how much ofthe universe turns out, as it is being discovered, to fitpreviously formulated mathematical concepts. Finally,


we spent a little time considering how often mathematicalrelationships have been an ingredient of so much beautyin music, painting, and architecture.

An admirable outline of its history introduced S. J.Charlton's paper (October 16th) on "The Philosophyof Science." The main conclusion that emerged fromit was that " science is not an isolated branch of lifeand thought, reserved for the scientist," but that, onthe contrary, " the philosophy of science and the philo-sophy of life are one " — a thought not very palatableto those arts men present who thought they had aphilosophy of life but knew they were far too ignorantto have one of science. We spent a good deal of theevening considering whether a scientific training wouldin fact produce an outlook on life differing from thatemerging from a largely literary education. The scientiststended to think there was no such difference ; the artsmen felt that there was. And while it was agreed thata proportion of young people are temperamentallyeither definitely scientists or definitely arts men, wethought that most could benefit from a broadereducation which did not allow them to develop a one-sided philosophy.

Vintage Car Club

It is to be hoped that members of the Club are goingto take a more active part in the restoration of the car,since little remains to be done — most of the hardwork has been done, and I think it would be fair tosay that the car is mechanically sound, and all thatremains to be done, is the rejuvenation of the bodywork.

Various other activities have been arranged, includinga film show, and a visit to the Birmingham ScienceMuseum (for the junior members) and a visit to theMorgan works, but members seem to forget that themain task of the club is centred round the restorationof the Alvis. Naturally other activities are enjoyable,but I am sure that far more enjoyment will be derivedfrom the car, once it has been restored and the membersare able to rally it in the various Vintage Car events.

Junior members have now been incorporated in theClub, so that they might have a gentle introduction tothe Vintage Car Club world, and it is to be hoped thatthey will, one day, progress forward, to become seniormembers.

"MALVERNIAN" PROFILELEONARD GODWIN

As College Clerk Mr. Leonard Godwin is to a great extent responsible for the financial administration ofthe school. His office deals not merely with the entire accounts of the school itself, which cover everything fromthe organizing and compiling of bills to paying for things ranging from scholarships to theatre visits, but alsowith paying for the maintenance of the estate and indeed the paying of all the bills incurred by each house. Fewboys realize the amount that has to be done not only during the term but also throughout the holidays. Themaintenance of the estate and running of the school do not stop as the train leaves for Paddington.

Mr. Godwin was brought up in Reading. His father was a signalling engineer employed by the Great WesternRailway and his mother was a teacher. He was a good sportsman playing Rugger, Soccer and Cricket, the latterfor his school, as well as tennis in which he won cups in various county and local competitions. He still maintainsa considerable interest in sport which he often watches on television.

In 1933 at the age of seventeen he left school and joined the auditing department of Reading Borough Councilwhere he remained until the war.

On the outbreak of war Mr. Godwin joined the transport of the Royal Army Service Corps and, although hemodestly states that he did not travel much, he served in both Belgium and France and was at the Dunkirk evacua-tion from which he was taken by H. M. S. Worcester which was perhaps appropriate. After Dunkirk he was stationedat Aldershot, Newbury, Lambourn and also in the Morgan Car Motor Works in Malvern. It was at the WinterGardens that he met a certain Miss Pitt whom he married in 1941.

After his discharge Mr. Godwin went back to the Reading Borough Council and after moving to London fora year he joined the Malvern College Staff in 1947. At the time the fees were being raised from sixty pounds aterm to an exorbitant sixty-five in the face of a mild outcry. One of his first jobs each week was to prepare packetsof shillings for the housemasters who distributed one to each member of the house. This was traditionally his pocketmoney for the week but the practice ceased several years ago when a shilling was found to be virtually useless fora visit to the Grub.


Mr. Godwin has seen many changes since then. Apart from the lowering of the average age of the boys hefeels that there has been a slight shift from the sons of professional men to those of businessmen. The atmosphereis now much more centred around work and examinations than it used to be and organized activities such asexpeditions and visits have increased as has the range of hobbies and clubs.

As College Clerk, an office which he has held since 1957, Mr. Godwin is adviser to the Bursar and to the Worksand Finance Committee of the council on matters of finance and budgeting. He also audits all the accounts andruns the office through which about £300,000 worth of business passes each year. His task is therefore not an easyone but he says that it is made much lighter by the friendly and co-operative attitude of the boys and staff. Hesometimes wishes that he saw rather more of the boys since although he often knows their addresses, initials,forms and houses he seldom meets the boys themselves. He thinks however that the school is " Happy and wellorganized " and although he would be far too modest to admit it one cannot help feeling that this is at least partlydue to him.

Outside his work Mr. Godwin is an enthusiastic and wide reader particularly of travel and light fiction. He isalso a keen walker and as such is very appreciative of the school's position. He has two children the elder of whomis following in his father's footsteps by becoming an accountant.

Although Mr. Godwin enjoys his life at Malvern he feels that business would perhaps have been his idealcareer. His great ambition is to travel and see the world which he hopes to do one day, preferably by sea. We allhope however that this will be a long time hence and that until then he will continue to help keep Malvern Collegeon its feet.

LITERARY SECTIONCHARITY

" It's a very hot day," said the old woman. " Yesdear, it is very hot. Put something cool on."

" I have to go and help at the orphanage," saidMary. " I don't want to go there. Tt's too hot," sheexplained, looking hopefully at her mother's face.

" Yes, 1 know. But sometimes one has to work extrahard for a good cause. Think of how proud your fatherwill be when you get the medal. After you go to theorphanage, you'll have more achievement points thanany other girl in your troop. That means you mustget the medal."

Mary had to be at the orphanage by 11 a.m. Sherushed out the door.

" Good-by mother."

" Good-by Mary. Don't let us down."

" I won't."

Mary had about a mile to walk. The black pavementabsorbed the sun's ray and felt hot through her thin-soled slippers. The concrete pavement was too bright.' I should have brought my sun-glasses.' She turnedthe corner and started walking down fifth and secondstreet. A long row of people were going in and outof ' Giant' like so many ants. Going back and forthcarrying brown bags in their small arms.

At the next intersection, a glaring white sign said

" Meadville Children's Home, quarter mile" in redletters. An arrow underneath pointed to the right.

Mary followed the arrow. She walked down Dan-burry Lane in the direction of a small brick building.The glare from a window in the 2nd floor made hersquint. The building had a faded red colour.

Mary opened the glass door and walked into a stuffyroom with an old, scratched desk near the wall,opposite the entrance. Two deep-cushioned chairs withcracked leather upholestry faced each side of the desk.The girl paced the room nervously, waiting for some-body to appear.

A woman in her middle forties came in through aside entrance.

" Hello. I'm Mary Stuart. I've come to talk to someof the girls."

"Oh, yes, you're with troop 51, aren't you? "

" Yes mam."

" Mrs. Kozar called me up yesterday and said thatyou were going to help us."

The hot little room and the baggy old nurse madeMary want to leave. " Just talk to two orphans thenI..."

" If you will follow me I will show you to one ofthe girls' rooms. You know, these girls get so lonely.They don't have many visitors."


" Yes mam. I'll do my best."

Little drops of sweat formed on the old woman'sforehead. The two walked through a narrow hall. Sun-light from a window made the beads of sweat glistenlike small pieces of quartz in the sun. Mary followedthe old woman up the wooden staircase. A tilted water-colour of a sailing vessel ornamented the blank wall.

" Mary, try to understand that these girls haven'thad the advantages which you have, so be nice tothem."

" Yes mam."

The upstairs corridor smelled of ancient moth ballsand of being closed for a long time. Mary felt likeopening a window but there was only a long row ofgrey wall. Dark blotches stained the faded-blue carpet-ing. Mary caught her foot in a piece of loose carpetand almost tripped.

" I want you to be as nice as you can to the girls.I'll introduce you to them."

The woman stopped at the third door in the halland knocked. Nobody answered. She knocked again.The sound of a chair being moved came from insidethe room, followed by steps.

" Hello Pat, how are you ? "

" I'm fine."

" Today we have a visitor. I'd like you to meetMary. She's a girl scout and she wants to make friendswith you. Mary this is Patricia."

" Hi, nice to meet you."

" Where's Judy ? "

" She's on the chair in the corner. She's been thereall morning."

" I'm going to leave you alone now. Mary, see if youcan talk to Judy later on. She was very upset thismorning."

Mary sat in a straight wooden chair. A few rag dollslittered the floor near one of the beds. An open colour-ing book and three or four broken crayons on top ofthe bed complemented the mess. Two black curtainsdrooped from the window and partially obscured theview of the midday traffic.

" How old are you ? " asked the girl scout.

" Eight," said Pat.

" How about your friend, how old is she ? "

" She's nine, but she never talks to anybody."

" How come ? " said Mary.

" 1 don't know, she doesn't like to talk to people."

The recluse sat in a corner of the room, apparentlyabsorbed in meditation of the pink wall.

A miserable figure ! Her scrawny shoulders hungloosely in the air as if they were supported by a pairof invisible strings. Her wide, empty eyes seemed for amoment to focus on one part of the wall and then toview the whole pink expanse with a widening of theeyes and a frenzied movement of the pupils.

Her chin rested on two arms that resembled toothpicks more than human limbs. And all the time hersmall pupils made zig-zag movements in haphazarddirections. The figure of a mad philosopher attemptingthe impossible.

Mary came closer. " What's you name ? " Noanswer. " My name is Mary what's your name ? " Thegirl on the other side of the room started laughing.

" 1 told you, she doesn't talk."

" Why won't you talk to me ? "

The listless figure of the orphan continued indifferent.

" I've been nice to you. Why won't you be nice tome? "

A slight twitch on the orphan's face encouragedMary. She repeated her question. The twitch on thegirl's face gradually turned into a frown.

" I'm just trying to be nice. Will you talk to me ? "

Judy's eyebrows came closer together complementingher frown. The side of her face twitched more and herhands trembled nervously. The orphan sank her chinin the hollow crevice of her neck. Seen from behind,the frail structure appeared ready to snap off.

Mary held Judy's hand for a moment. The clammyfeeling made her let go.

" Why won't you leave me alone ? " screamed Judy." I didn't do anything to you. Stop bothering me."

Pat started laughing again. " She gets that way if youtalk to her too much." Mary tried to quiet the sobbinggirl. " I want to make friends with you."

" No you don't. Why should you care ? "

The nurse opened the door and walked quickly tothe corner of the room. " What's the matter Judy ? Ithought Mary would make you happy."

" No ! no ! I don't want her."


" All right, I'll take Mary away. Lunch will be readyin half an hour, so go wash up. Come on Mary."

The girl scout walked out of the room quickly. Shedidn't look at the two girls on her way out. The nursetook her arm.

" Don't get upset over this. Judy has a problem andshe does this to everybody who talks to her."

" I understand, I did what the girl scout manual saidto do. I did what I was supposed to do."

" I'm sure you did the right thing. Your parentsmust be proud to have a daughter like you."

" By the way will you sign this paper. It's just tocertify that I've talked to two orphans."

The nurse and the girl were back at the wooden desk.The woman took the paper from Mary's hand, signedit and handed it back. " Thank you for coming. Wouldyou like to come next week ? "

" No, what for ? "J. Almeida

He tried once more to seethe former picture of his love,but only darkness came and sleep —at last. And when he woke again,to rise and face the next grey day,it was the latter image which remained.

THE MOUNTAIN PHILOSOPHER

Grassy green, Earth's mountainous breast beckons meAnd I go to sit on the towering crestTo look down on a tinker-toy world which rattles on

[below me.But on my hill I am bigger than everybody elseThough no one seems to notice as they walk alongWith their eyes to the ground and their thoughts to

[themselves,Absorbing nothing, while I absorb it allDrawing everything closely deep inside me,Until I have it allUntil tinker-toys, and rattle, and people, allSubside and disappear from sight.

THE COLOUR OF LIFE

Many vivid images swam beforehis eyes. And, as he dreamed,he paused to watchthe beauty in his mind.Brightly coloured beauty — Bluesand Reds and Greens. Representingall that she once meant.The blue of her eyesas she gazed at the sky andthe red of her lipsas the sun glared down andthe green of her dressas she lay in the grass onthat peaceful afternoon.

But, as he watched,the visions intermingled. His sensestingled and suddenly grew numb.For the images were shiftingand the colours changed their tone.Now he saw a darker blue,the blue which stands for sadness in the world.The blue of songs and poemsthrough the years.Now he saw the red of bloodthat pours down all the streets.And gunfire where the cattle used to graze.Now he saw the green of manyfaces sick with fear,not knowing what to do or where to go.And he was one of them.

FOUND

She sees the Eastern bree/e,And trees that flutter — wild,And comes, the humming bird,To form my gifted child.

Manchester woman dear,Rise, caress calm sky-cloud,Rise, deep in river-fearDrink water-air around.Come, young blood born from bloom,Fog heaven, race rampant dreams,Hope-scope, river-flood myMind, to teach to love.

She runs, turns, comes to joinHer hope and hand, to restHer head on new-faith coinsSo strike my future nest.

THERE WERE NO FLOWERS

Islandof sorrowinward eyesglancing towardsea of hate —

I said to theold ladyat the church


your tearswill soon be dryand outside the leavesfalling endlessly fromthe clearing sky

remind meof my return home.

So she died andshe, and she, andshe made theTelegraph death columnand she was dead —

there were no flowers.So I shut the door,and rested lay

on the hearthheld immobile by the glowing warmthof the logs —I remember

I have no one . . . .Grow old —I grew old ;someone met me

CONSCIENCE

That pleading faceforced down into the mists of oblivionto drown in some subconscious corner of the mind.The twinge of one silent memory in timenever to be forgotten.He writhes in the agony of,Remembrance.But that was a long time agoThere was no crime committedbut crime there was in conscienceThe thought has lost insistenceNow shadowed by the distanceThe scream lingers in the hollows.Death's inevitability . . .But he still grasps out of the seaof grey suspended liquidin the skull.Guilt gnaws quietly away below thesurface of a normal front.The shroud is pulled backand he turns.Steps slip quietly away, asthe milling wind shudders inthe cold.

SPORTS SECTION

CricketA school cricket season running chiefly from mid

April to mid June is always liable to be hampered bythe weather. 1969 will be remembered by the countryat large as a fine dry summer but regrettably the 6.5inches of rain that broke all records for May completelyruined the greater part of the school season. Of 33school matches organised before the end of May, 22were cancelled, 8 abandoned and 3 ended in draws. Ithink it is safe to say that never before have the schoolreached June 1st without a win or a loss from any of its6 school teams.

The XFs record of only 3 wins does them less thanjustice. The games against Dean Close, Cheltenhamand Harrow were all abandoned when Malvern werein a strong position. Indeed against Cheltenham only6 runs were needed with 9 wickets in hand when theground was flooded. Two wins over Repton in a weekwere a rare pleasure and the victory over Shrewsburyat Rugby was a very good performance against easilythe strongest school side played. The only school matchlost was that against Clifton by 17 runs after losing the

toss. The batting depended largely on Draffan, Hulmeand Johnson for the early part of the season and lateron Edginton proved very reliable. The bowling wassteady with the main attack coming from the left armsof Balfour and Johnson and the fielding with one ortwo noteable exceptions was not as athletic as in recentseasons.

Draffan, in his second year in the side, made amagnificent start to the year with 238 runs for twiceout in the first four matches. Although he did not quitemaintain this form he always looked a good player.His philosophical attitude to the diabolical weatherwas a great help in keeping up the morale of theSenior game and master in charge and much of thecredit for the happiness of the season was due to him.His bowling was always useful and for the second yearin succession the Malvern 3rd seamer opened the bowlingfor the Public Schools at Lords. His success at Lordswas a great tribute to his temperament and all roundability. After playing for the Rest v. The Southernschools he was selected to represent the Public Schoolsv. the English Schools Cricket Association and afterthis selected for the Combined Schools against bothWilfred Isaacs XI and the Combined Services. In his


review of the representative Schools matches RexAlston wrote " The most stylish looking and mostconsistent batsman was Draffan (Malvern). Small andtrim, he times the ball well, especially on the off, fieldsneatly, bowls a useful away swinger and looks a thoroughcricketer."

Hulme, after being converted to an opening batsman,was a model of consistency and nearly always gave theside a good start. He is particularly to be congratulatedon being selected to play for the English SchoolsCricket Association in the holidays where he enjoyedconsiderable success and finally played at Lords againstDraffan.

Johnson enjoyed another successful all round season,his bowling improved markedly when he switched tobowling over the wicket and predominantly chinaman.Up to that time he had taken 10 wickets at 27 runseach, thereafter he took a further 27 wickets at 10 each.His batting could be excellent and when he has learntconsistently to combine both attack and defence ina responsible innings he will take a lot of stopping. Hisindividual performance in the victory against Shrews-bury when he took 8 for 54 and then made 74 not outcan seldom have been bettered as an individual con-tribution for his side by a boy just 16. He played 3 timesfor Worcestershire 2nd XI in the holidays.

Stockbridge was an excellent ' senior professional,'his fielding, along with that of Draffan, was quiteexceptional and always an inspiration. He played severalvaluable innings when they were most wanted. Of theother batsmen Edginton is to be congratulated ontaking his chance when he came into the side mid-way through the season, he added considerable strengthto the middle and played vital innings against theMasters, Shrewsbury and Rugby. Lees never quitemade the runs expected of him but always showedenterprise. Smith played several gallant innings andwas unlucky not to get into the final side and Clare-Hunt finally played a valuable knock at Rugby.

The opening bowling was shared by Balfour, Wardeand Apperley. Balfour, left arm over, was always likelyto take valuable wickets and his 6 for 17 against Chelt-enham was a reward for bowling straight and fast. Wardewas usually steady without really fulfilling his potentialof 1968 and Apperley was always reliable. Apperley'sgreatest feat however was his heroic innings againstRepton in the Festival when he turned impendingdefeat into victory. Wheeler could always be reliedupon to bowl steadily, his fielding was excellent and heplayed one or two valuable supporting roles with thebat.

Lewis, who took over the wicket keeping from Clare-Hunt in mid season, was always aggressive and hiskeenness helped to make a moderate fielding side lookmuch better.

Overall the season will be remembered for the appall-ing weather, 2 or 3 outstanding individual performancesbut above all the marvellous spirit of the entire Seniorgame who accepted the inevitable problems of theselectors in a rain-soaked season with good humourand philosophy and contributed enormously to a happyseason.

XI v. Radley College.Played at Radley on May 31st. Match drawn.

Malvern won the toss and decided to bat and after Leesand Hulme had gone for 48 Draffan and Johnson looked setfor a big partnership. Draffan was dropped by the captain butthen became magnetised to one end as Murray bowled fivemaiden overs at him. When he finally faced Ritchie he wascaught trying to hit the bowler back over his head. Harris andClare-Hunt also fell to Ritchie but Stockbridge stayed tilllunch. After lunch only Johnson with a fine 48, and Smithmade much headway but then rain interrupted play for anhour and a half. Warde and Balfour then swung the bat toadd a few more runs for the last wicket. Ritchie finished with5-37 but a lot of the credit must go to Murray who kept oneend tight for a long time with little luck.

Set to score 132 in 100 minutes Radley faced only three ballsbefore a thunderstorm ended play.

In a game of fluctuating fortunes the XI did well to hold onfor a draw with the last pair at the wicket for fifteen minutes.

The XI started off well when Balfour bowled Pywell in histhird over, Warde then dismissed Hunter after he had madeonly 3 in three-quarters of an hour. Burton was going well,however, and made his 38 in almost even time. Lees andEdwards then put on fifty together and lunch was taken withthe score at 120 for 5. Robinson was out soon after the restartbut then Smith played a fine innings of 46 to boost the totalto 198.

The XI made a disastrous start when Murphy claimed thewickets of Draffan and Goodenough in his second over. Hulmeand Johnson then started to retrieve the situation but Johnsonwas out just before tea after they had added 53 runs in only45 minutes. Lees also gave Hulme good support and when hewas out the XI needed 81 to win in 50 minutes, which, withsix wickets left was not impossible. Their chances receded whenHulme was run out for a fine 82 and then they found them-selves fighting against defeat as Murphy took three wickets inone over. Balfour and Stockbridge then managed to last out 8agonizing overs for a draw.

The XI v. The Free Foresters.Played at Malvern on June 6th and 7th. Free Foresters won

by 7 wickets.

In a high scoring match the Free Foresters deservedly wonby scoring 218-3 in only 137 minutes in their second innings.

In their first innings, the XI did not start well and were 34-9when Smith joined Draffan. These two put on 93 in 100minutes before Draffan became the first of Wingfield-Digby'sthree stumpings. Wheeler and Warde both played usefulinnings and when the latter was stumped the score stood at172-9. Stockbridge then proceeded to throw the bat at every-thing making his 37 with only 13 scoring shots.

In reply the Free Foresters made 183 for 6 declared and sonearly 400 had been scored in the day. The highlight of theirinnings was a fine 77 by Millbank. Foster and Richardsonalso played good innings. For once the bowlers were notsupported by the usual high standard of fielding.

After Draffan had gone with the score at 53, Hulme andJohnson set up the chance for the XI to set the Free Forestersover 200 to win. Johnson scored the majority of the runs andhe was undefeated with 77 at the declaration.

Set to score 218 in about 150 minutes the visitors werebehind the clock when the first wicket fell at 46. ThenWingfield-Digby and Millbank batted exhilaratingly to score116 together in only 55 minutes. Wainwright then securedvictory with several quick singles.

Altogether a most enjoyable match.

The XI v. Clifton College.Played at Malvern on June 14th. Clifton won by 16 runs.

The XI started well when Balfour had Drury caught behindthe wicket with only 1 run on the board. Tomlinson andCouper-Johnston then put their heads down but to such anextent that seven of the first eight overs were maidens. Thescoring then quickened slightly but when Tomlinson was outfor 56 they had made 99 in 140 minutes. Willcocks played auseful innings of 20 but 8 wickets had gone for 159. Tibbyand Lockyer then added a further 27 valuable runs beforethe declaration, which set the XI to score 187 in 160 minutes.

After Draffan, Hulme and Smith had been dismissed for 34Johnson and Edginton put on 66 for the fourth wicket.Victory looked likely for the XI until Johnson and Wheelerwere both out with the score at 156, the former for a steadyinnings of 60. The XI's final hopes went when Townsend wasout and Balfour and Apperley were unable to hold out.

XI v. Dean Close.Played at Malvern on June 17th. Match drawn.

Yet again the rain deprived the XI of a probable win.With an hour left they had to get only five more wicketsagainst some rather unconvincing Dean Close batting. Draffanand Hulme started confidently against some moderate bowlingbut then Draffan was somewhat luckily caught at slip. AfterJohnson had been run out because of poor calling, Hulme andEdginton put on 97 in 61 minutes. Edginton completed hisfirst 50 for the XI but was out the very next ball. Hulmefollowed soon afterwards but Stockbridge, hitting the ballvery hard in a lively innings of 38, enabled Draffan to declareat the good score of 198 for 6.

It was soon obvious that Dean Close would not get the runsas Balfour bowled six maidens in a row. Only Mcleod seemedcapable of forcing the ball through the well-set field butthen he was bowled by Balfour, who was now bowling leg-spinners. Lewis took two good catches behind the wicket butthen the rain came to Dean Close's rescue.

The XI v. The Masters.Played at Malvern on June 21st. Match drawn.

In a very exciting finish the Masters just held out for adraw with the last pair at the wicket.

Draffan and Hulme gave the XI another good start untilHulme hit his wicket trying to hit a lob by Chesterton downthe leg-side. Johnson did not last long but Edginton was ingood form and he and Draffan looked set for a big partner-ship when Draffan was out to a brilliant return catch by Duffwho then dismissed Stockbridge first ball. After Wookey andWheeler had gone cheaply Warde and Edginton put on 50in half an hour with Edginton reaching his second successive50 in 64 minutes.

Set to score 171 in 115 minutes, the Masters never reallylooked like winners. Ferguson stayed an hour for only 11 runswhile Duff and Blackshaw were out trying to force the pace.At 68 for 6 with 20 minutes play remaining it looked likedefeat for the Masters, but Staniforth played some fine shots inmaking 26 before he was out off the first ball of the lastover. The captain and Knott succeeded in seeing out the lastfive balls with fielders all around them.

The XI v. The O.Ms.Played at Malvern on July 5th. O.Ms won by 4 wickets.

After being tormented by the wiles of Norton the XI wereunmercifully thrashed by Richardson and after a last gaspfor life by Johnson, they succumbed at the hand of Jenkins.

After Draffan had been well caught by Richardson for 18Lees and Johnson scored well until Norton took over thePavilion end. In his first 10 overs he took 5 wickets for just8 runs as the XI slumped from 90 for 1 to 102 for 6. Stock-bridge and Warde, the latter with some fine cover drives,counter-attacked with a partnership of 49 whereupon Nortonbroke through again. Cartwright then swept through the tailwithout further runs being scored. Norton finished with theremarkable figures of 20 successive overs, 9 maidens, 6wickets for 31 runs.

Needing 162 to win, the O.M's lost Don and Francis toBalfour for 34 but the powerful Richardson, with fours toall parts of the ground, interspaced with several cheeky singles,and the stolid Maidlow made the task look ridiculously easy.When Lewis stumped him, Richardson had made 80 runs in65 electrifying minutes and had taken the total from 34 to141. Johnson made his bid for glory with two wickets in twoballs, but the calm Jenkins, aided by Norton went smoothlyon to victory.

THE FESTIVAL AT RUGBY

The second year of the festival was blessed with the bestweather of the summer. The 48 boys were split up in fourhouses, 3 from each school to each house. Much good cricketwas played and plenty of bad bowls in the evening. Thehospitality and organisation were excellent and it was all agreat success.

Malvern beat Repton and Shrewsbury and drew with Rugby.Shrewsbury beat Repton and Rugby and Rugby beat Repton.


MALVERN v. REPTON at Rugby July 15th

For the second meeting within a week it was agreed to playthe game under Gillette Cup rules although in the end theseplayed no part in the contest.

Repton got off to a disastrous start losing the first 3 wicketsto Warde and Balfour for 5 runs. Malvern fielded and bowledvery well and Repton were reduced to 36 for 8 before a finecaptain's innings of 52 not out by Beckett took the final scoreto 81.

Malvern started steadily as in the previous week and thematch seemed a formality but suddenly from 36 for 1 there wasa disastrous collapse and half an hour later the score was 44for 7 and all seemed lost. ' Cometh the hour Cometh theman ' and Apperley who was not known for his skill with thebat produced a glorious half hour of good straight hitting towin the match and his colours with 29 not out, he wasadmirably supported by Wheeler. It really was a thrilling, ifearly, finish.

MALVERN v. SHREWSBURY at Rugby, July 16th

Malvern's outcricket in this match reached its highest level.Having lost the toss and fielding through the middle of thehottest day of the year they did exceedingly well to be theonly school side to bowl Shrewsbury out. Johnson's 8 for 54in 25 overs was a wonderful spell of bowling but he was wellsupported by the others.

Malvern's task of reaching 165 on a lively wicket alwayslooked a hard one and, when the two chief run-getters, Draffanand Hulme, were out with 41 on the board, it looked a verytall order indeed. It was here that Edginton joined Johnsonand in 84 minutes added 87 invaluable runs. Johnson wasshakey at first and Edginton took charge admirably, Johnsonlater batted beautifully to finish with 74 not out, in spite ofsome alarms at the other end, and complete a memorablematch.

MALVERN v. RUGBY

This was the most disappointing match of the festival — theonly draw in 6 matches. Malvern missed too many chances andseemed to suffer some reaction from the previous day. Rugbygot off to a tremendous start scoring 59 for the first wicketin 40 minutes. Austin started shakily but later tore the attackto pieces in scoring 115 in 2^ hours. The declaration leftMalvern to get 233 in 3 hours, a formidable but by no meansimpossible task. In the 50 minutes before tea only 30 werescored for the loss of Draffan. Immediately afterwards Johnsonand Hulme were out trying to force the pace but in spite ofgood innings by Edginton, again, and Clare-Hunt they hadleft themselves far too much leeway to make up and the gameended in rather a dull draw.

July 8th v. Prince Henry's Evesham. Lost by 7 wickets.Malvern 74 (Clare-Hunt 31).Prince Henry's 78 for 3.

The XXII started off a very wet May under the captaincyof Edginton, who despite his own initial personal disappoint-ment, managed to set a very happy tone which was latercontinued, upon Edginton's elevation, by Brightmore. Out-standing features of the first part of the season were: Harris'97 put of 195, a total made in just over an hour and a halfagainst Repton before the pitch was flooded ; a very neardefeat of Dean Close on an afternoon when cricket shouldnever have been attempted, or so thought two very dampumpires; a very forceful 72 not out by Wookey in anabandoned game against Cheltenham. With an improvementin the weather in June the XXII's fortunes fluctuated froman appalling defeat against Shrewsbury where only Townsendwith 26 held out against no more than a competent attack,to a nicely-timed (according to Brightmore) victory over avery young Clifton side. In this match the veteran Phillipsbowled unchanged to take 6 for 19 in 16 overs. He followedthis up with 5 for 47 against K.E.S. Birmingham, but thissupreme effort must have knocked the stuffing out of him,for he only took one more wicket in the remainder of his 3year career in the XXII

There was little to choose between the two wicket-keepersLewis and Clare-Hunt; Wookey scored a lot of runs going infirst ; Lees could always be relied upon for 30 or 40 scoredin a manner calculated to give the master-in-charge a heart-attack at nearly every stroke. Harris did not fulfil his earlypromise and Milburn had a disappointing season. In the fieldthere was always a number of people to hide, but Brightmoreand Goodenough set a high standard. Phillip's catching of theball returned by the wicket-keeper to mid-on resembled thatof the proverbial alligator, but obviously had spectator appeal.

The opening attack was always Phillips, but his partnersvaried every match. Rustad and Leachman bowled their off-spinners quite well in support. Apperley never really struckform, but looked the most promising of the openers.

In very difficult circumstances it was a very happy and attimes successful season.

Final Team:- Brightmore, Smith P.R.L., Goodenough,Phillips, Wookey, Rustad, Townsend, Harris, Leachman,Milburn, Clare-Hunt.

GRYPHONS

The weather accounted for all except three Gryphons'matches in the 1969 season. Barnard's Green were defeated by7 wickets thanks to some good bowling by Apperley (5-34)and some fine hitting by Harris. They lost to Elmley Castleby 27 runs and to Malvern Wells by one wicket in an extremelyexciting finish.

COLTS 'A'

In the opening match against Repton on May 3rd some bighitting by Francis helped Malvern to a score of 135 for 6before a thunderstorm brought play to an end. On June 3rdthe rain eased to mere drizzle and a close match againstBromsgrove was played under saturated conditions. Colts Athen lost to Clifton on a fiery wicket before defeating K.E.S.,again in persistent drizzle. They then won a low-scoring matchagainst the Chase on a very fiery wicket before finishing theseason with a crushing win at Wycliffe.

Hoyes-Cock opened the bowling and achieved consistentlygood results. He lacked a penetrating partner and most ofthe other wickets had to be taken by the slow bowlers Butlerand Tolchard. A number of the batsmen made runs on onlyone occasion, although Reyersbach played consistently wellthroughout the season. Francis was unfortunately injured forhalf of the matches and this reduced the teams run-makingpotential enormously.

Buckle led the side competently and under him the fieldingimproved steadily during the season until it was very goodindeed in the last match. Lindsay kept wicket excellentlythroughout.

COLTS'B'

Two things made the 1969 season memorable for Colts ' B :firstly the weather which robbed the side of half its matchesand the chance to prove itself an outstanding team: and,secondly, the fielding and, especially, the catching. The bowlers,principally Mackie (fast), Barnard (off-spin), and Sherrin andHowell (left-arm spin), were all very good, but it was thecatching which made them so formidable. Close catching asconsistent as that of Howell and Sherrin is rare in cricket atthis level and bore tribute to concentration and a willingnessto practice in the dismal conditions that prevailed for the firsthalf of the season. The same conditions probably accountedfor the rather ordinary batting performances, but there wasstrength in depth and an ability to hit the ball hard: WookeyS. was the most consistent batsman and Wynn C. D. producedthe innings of the season. The overall strength in depth wasshown by the victory of a Colts ' B ' 2nd XI over BromsgroveJunior Colts while Colts ' B ' 1st XI were catching outBromsgrove Senior Colts for 107 — only a total battingcollapse in the face of some fast and accurate bowling spoiled

FERRETS

Because of the rain many of the Ferrets' fixtures had to bere-arranged and a few were eventually lost altogether. How-ever, matches were completed against the following schools:Emscote Lawn ; Seaford Court ; The Chase Under 14 XI ;Wells House ; Stouts' Hill ; and Hallfield. 26 boys played forthe Ferrets during the season.

HOUSE MATCHES

The Senior House Competition this year suffered likeeverything else at the hands of the weather. Two rounds werecompletely washed out and this proved disastrous to S.H.who in their only two outings had scored enormous victories.They did not have a chance of reaching the final because thetwo matches rained off were theirs with No. 2 and on No. 2'sfree day. This meant that No. 2 with 3 wins reached the final —they might have beaten S.H. anyway but it did show up aregrettable weakness in the system which cannot be over-come with every day of the programme being full and henceno chance of a replay.

The final between No. 2 and No. 5 was notable for a fineunbroken stand of 100 between Clare-Hunt and Thompsonfor No. 2 after they had lost 6 wickets for 66 and an equallygood hard hitting partnership for No. 5 between Smith andFrancis which won the match with something in hand.

CONCLUSIONThe conclusion for the previous two years began with

mention of the weather and regrettably this year must belikewise with the catastrophic rainfall in May playing havocwith the programme and inevitably dampening much of theenthusiasm particularly in the lower part of the school.

This year saw the first experiment with the new nets for theNorth Houses on the old cinder area. They inevitably sufferedwith the rain but in spite of various snags with balls going intothe road and the rhododendrons it is hoped that with modifica-tions this will prove to be a success. The big advantage is thatthe enlarged area allows more changes during the course ofthe term.

The new heavy roller proved a great success in improvingthe grounds, particularly its effect on the outfield on theSenior which when the weather finally turned into a droughtin June was roiled fiat and did not suffer from the bumpersof last year. Having two pick up mowers that worked madethe grounds look and play much better.

The final reckoning was encouraging, in spite of theweather. The enthusiasm in the Senior game was excellentand quite a number of juniors showed considerable promisefor the future.

Winner of Black and White Photo Competition D. S. Millner

AthleticsWith so many excellent individual performances during the

last Athletics Season it has been a pity that all our matcheshave been away from Malvern. However the provision of anew Long and Triple Jump Cinder Runway (12ft. wide, 150ft.long) gave M. R. Byers the facilities so necessary in thepreparation for top class performances. He did not disappointus and leapt to 22ft. 9in. at Warley to win the County Title.This performance places him at the top of the United KingdomYouth (Under 17) Rankings and fifth in the Junior (Under 19)Rankings. However K. S. Duncan still claims the MalvernRecord with 22ft. 5in.

The new cinder runway proved invaluable during the verywet beginning to the term and enabled Hurdlers and Sprintersto work at full pace whereas to have trained on grass wouldhave been highly dangerous. Although the Senior Team hasbeen very weak quite the reverse is true of the Junior Team.Talent has been discovered in the most unlikely places but theacquisition of skill and fitness has helped to make a wellbalanced, powerful team.

Saturday, May 31st.

Malvern v. Army Apprentices College v. Clifton College v.St. Brendens College v. Atlantic College.

This was a very enjoyable Athletics Fixture held at theArmy Apprentices College, Chepstow. Situated beneath the

Severn Bridge the cinder track, jumping and throwing areaswere in good condition and the events were all run to time.Fortunately no rain was recorded during the afternoon andthe sprinters and hurdlers were helped by a slight breeze butLong and Triple Jumpers were against the wind.

In the Senior Match there were only a few outstandingperformances, Calder again showed that continued applicationto training brings success and enjoyment in this sport. He wonthe mile, was second in the 2000m. s/c and recovered withinhalf an hour to run a 56'2 anchor lap in the 4 x 440 yardsrelay. He did waste a little time with the second and thirdrunners in the mile but with experience he will recognisefatigue in opponents earlier. But for a total submersion at thelast water jump he would have won the Steeple-chase(one lap short). Stockil sprinted well and tied an exciting finishin the furlong but did not reach his usual standard in theLong Jump. High Jumpers Weidlein and Hargreaves-Heaprecorded personal best performances and Freeman well belowhis best recorded second place in the Discus with his thirdthrow. His first two throws looked good but hurtled into thecage.

In the Junior Match there was much to enjoy. Good sprint-ing by Rodgers and another personal best by King in the 220yards. Gifford continued his improvement in winning the110 yard Hurdles whilst Byers and Foxall both recordeddouble firsts. Shelbourne (143' 6") threw the 700 Javelin furtherthan anyone at Malvern for at least the last 2 years using onlya 5 stride approach run. The Relay Squad of Byers, Giffordand King operated smoothly to give Rodgers a 2 yard leadfor his anchor leg which he increased to 4 yards at the finish.

The afternoon began quietly with Gifford placed 3rd inthe Under 17 High Hurdles equalling his previous best.Heard and Desmond gained valuable experience in finishing4th and 5th in the 800 metres Under 17. They will both bein the event next year.

A little later another success was recorded by T. W. Foxallin winning a tense High Jump Competition with a little over5ft. 6in. (P66 metres) with Buick a fraction over 5ft. 2in. infif th place.

Five rounds of the Discus were endured by the CollegeAthletes with Winfield still only 2nd with 134ft. 6in. At lastcame the final round and a magnificent 152ft. 7in. to win andbeat Freeman's (1kg) Discus County Record set last year.

Three more Track Finals remained, Rodgers won the 200metres convincingly running a very fast bend and Shelbourneran a courageous 1000m. Steeplechase.

Finally Calder out-classed all to win the 5000 metres (3 miles188 yards) in fact he lapped everyone at least once ! !

Tuesday, June 17th.

The last Team Fixture of the Season was held at Stowe onTuesday, 17th June. Competing on a dry fast track with aslight breeze assisting Sprinters and Hurdlers the CollegeJunior Team overwhelmed the opposition but our weak SeniorTeam was no match for the Stowe Athletes.

Twenty-three Personal Best Performances were recordedand two College Records were broken.

T. W. Foxall dominated the Junior High Jump winning at5ft. 2in. and continuing to 5ft. 9in. for a New Record but hefailed three times at 5ft. lOin. He is jumping a good heightin spite of having technical faults. A major problem is the vastdistance his take-off is from the bar so that his high point isabout 8 inches before the bar. A Straddle Jump must be learntout of season together with a smaller angle of approach anda longer last stroke.

The 440 yards was won by M. R. Byers in a Record 52'6 sec.whilst T. Stockil Triple Jumped over 40ft. for the first time.

Some hasty coaching by Connolly enabled Paxman tocombine Steeple-chasing with Pole Vaulting and vault 7ft. 9in.in the latter and gain 2nd place in the former.

Life was difficult for Discus Throwers as the throwing circleswas like a skating rink making the control of the first teamdifficult and hence the achievement of a good throwing basein the front of the circle well nigh impossible.

Saturday, June 21st. Midland Counties Championships.Part I at Leicester.

Conditions at Leicester for the Championships proveddifficult to cope with and whilst Jumpers, Byers and Foxallwere first and second respectively they were well below theirbest performances.

A strong wind coupled with the extra speed of approachgiven by the All-weather surface caused Byers to record four" no jumps " out of six jumps and to land with a great dealof forward rotation on his best jump of the day 20ft. 11 in.Observers remarked that with experience in using these fasterrunways he could have jumped 24ft.

Foxall again had difficulty in getting the high points of hisjump above the bar and to his surprise displaced the bar at5ft. 6in. on his way down. Here again the new surface createdproblems for the High jumpers' run up.

SwimmingThe earlier matches of the season having been reported in

the July edition, there remain the last three to be brieflydescribed, together with the Inter House Competition.

The Senior and Under 16 teams visited Shrewsbury on June10th. and both had comfortable wins, though our weaknessin Butterfly was again revealed. The Shrewsbury pool beingshorter than ours, the times had little relevance.

Two Under 15 Relays, both non-scoring, were won by Malvern.

On June 12th we visited Cheltenham, the first time we havetaken part in a match in their pool and Stowe formed thethird side of the triangle. The Cheltenham pool just permitted6-abreast racing.

One innovation was the 8 lengths breast-stroke in additionto the 4 lengths, which suited our swimmers ; while anunexpected variation on the normal was Connolly's back-stroke turn which caused him to start in one lane and finishin another.

The season was one of the happier and more successful onesand this stemmed from having a hard-working and successfulCaptain Christopher Mills. Time and again he fought excitingraces with Ashton and the pair of them frequently collectedmaximum points to swing the match our way. Ashton provedhimself to be extremely versatile and showed the benefit ofhis harder work in the pool this year.

Colours were awarded to E. P. F. Ashton, J. M. N. Connollyand T. W. Foxall.

The Under 16 team contained a very promising bunch ofswimmers indeed, and in 1971 another good Senior team willhave arrived if the work continues. The use of the Pool allthe year round ought soon to show in the performances, notso much of the best, but among the second and third strings.

Handsworth Old Boys 3

Malvern College, going into their first game of the termwith only three of last year's team playing, started hesitantlyagainst what appeared to be a strong Handsworth side.

The visitors took the lead in the seventh minute afterhesitancy in the College defence which allowed the Old Boys'centre forward to force his way through and shoot high intothe net.

The College were slow moving the ball upfleld, but as thegame progressed they came more into it and after 19 minutesequalised through MacNaught.

The goal acted as a boost to the College and they began toshow more spirit. They gained more control in midfield andin the 28th minute went ahead with an excellent goal fromMacNaught. He took a Johnson pass on the left, cut insidethe full back, beat two more defenders and then hit a hardshot wide of the goalkeeper.

Just before half-time, MacNaught completed a hat-trickafter a Stockbridge shot had been blocked, and put Malvern3-1 up.

A College corner from the left early in the second halfcleared the goal area and Helmore, on the right, drove hisshot hard into the net.

The College appeared to be well on top now, but Handsworthpulled a goal back when their left winger scored direct from a

corner, the ball going in off the far upright. But the College'sthree goal lead was restored in the 68th minute when aHelmore corner was headed in by Stockbridge.

With 5 minutes to go, MacNaught scored his fourth goaland Malvern's fifth, but straight from the kick-off Handsworthscored to make the final score 6-3.

The College's second half display promises well for thefuture.

Malvern College 5 Skoulonde I.F. (Denmark) 2

Malvern College, apparently overawed by the pretty-prettyplay of the Danish school team Skoulonde I.F., from nearCopenhagen, in the first half of their match at Malvern, wereone goal down at the interval, the goal coming after 20 minutes,scored by Thormar, their inside-right.

MacNaught baffled


In the second half Malvern appeared to have more con-fidence in themselves, and Johnson, the school outside-left,scored a good equalising goal after 10 minutes. Skoulunde hitback however, and Laursen their centre-forward put themahead once again with a simple goal. Malvern were no longeroverawed, and five minutes later equalised through Townsend.

10 minutes from time Stockbridge gave Malvern the leadfor the first time when he dribbled into the penalty area beforeshooting low into the right hand corner of the net. Malvernwere now well on top, and in the last 5 minutes Grant addedtwo further goals, firstly firing in a hard shot which hit thebar and bounced into the net giving the goalkeeper no chance,and just before the end his sheer determination won him theball, and he gave the goalkeeper no chance with a hard shotinto the net.

Malvern came out worthy winners, but the result was adisappointment for the Danes, who had played well three daysbefore in drawing 2-2 at Shrewsbury.TEAM

Malvern College 0 Corinthian Casuals 4

The Casuals took the lead in under a minute when followinga throw-in on the left, the ball was crossed to the right-handpost, where the Casuals' inside-right and captain shot wellwide of Moulton. Malvern eventually settled down, and effortsby MacNaught and Stockbridge were well saved by theCasuals' goalkeeper. At one point the Casuals had only 9 menon the field, and although one of the two injured men returnedlimping on the wing, the other one did not return. They didnot seem to be a man short though, and after 25 minuteswent 2-0 ahead. Another cross from the left found the injuredleft-half, and while the Malvern defence hesitated he hadall the time he needed to turn and shoot past Moulton.

In the second half Malvern attacked rather more, but therewas only one Stockbridge shot that really tested the goal-keeper. At the other end Moulton saved well from the Casual'scentre-forward, but with 20 minutes to go they made thescore 3-0, and again the defence was slow, allowing the sameman who had scored the second to turn and fire past Moulton.

In the dying seconds of the game Casuals scored their fourthwhen their inside-right ran through unchallenged beforeslipping the ball past Moulton.

Whilst Malvern were well beaten, it would be fair to pointout that injuries were still upsetting the balance of the side,and indeed two players had dropped out of the team on themorning of the match.TEAM.

Malvern College 4 Highgate 1

Playing their first inter-school game of term, and no longertroubled by injuries, Malvern opened well against Highgate,and an early MacNaught shot was only just wide. Despiteapplying most of the early pressure however, Malvern fellbehind after 15 minutes. Byers went up with a Highgateforward at a corner, and the ball glanced off the goalkeeperinto the net.

Malvern hit back, and MacNaught scored a good equaliser10 minutes before half-time.

In the second half Malvern began to dominate play in mid-field, and soon took the lead through another MacNaughtgoal, his eighth of the term so far, and then Stockbridgedribbled through most of the Highgate defence before scoringa fine goal.

Before the end MacNaught completed his hat-trick, andMalvern emerged worthy winners by 4-1.

Malvern College 2 Oxford University Centaurs 0

The College soon found themselves on the defensive in theopening minutes against a strong, well built Centuars' side,and in the first 10 minutes Byers, the Malvern goalkeeper,twice just managed to get his finger tips to the ball to saveshots from the Centaurs' inside-right. The first College attackgained a corner after good work by Walters, but it producednothing.

Smith split the opposing defence with a long ball downthe middle to MacNaught, but his shot was blocked by theadvancing goalkeeper. There were not many clear cut chancesin the first half, and the half-time score remained 0-0.

The second half began in much the same way as the first,with Byers making two fine saves from the Centaurs' centre-forward. Malvern replied with shots by MacNaught andStockbridge, but both lacked power.

On the hour Malvern took the lead. Stockbridge receivedthe ball from Graham just inside the Centaurs' half, anddribbled on, outpacing the defence, before shooting low intothe right hand corner of the net. A minute later Stockbridgehit a beautiful rising shot on the volley which brought abrilliant save from the Centaurs' goalkeeper, who also dealtefficiently with a shot from MacNaught. The College werenow on top, and applying much more pressure, and with 5minutes to go increased their lead. Stockbridge dribbled throughon the right, and before he could cross was sandwiched inthe penalty area. From the resulting penalty MacNaught gavethe goalkeeper no chance with a low hard shot into the righthand corner of the net.

Stockbridge determined


Just before the final whistle Smith brought another goodsave from the goalkeeper, but there was no time to take theresulting corner, and Malvern emerged 2-0 winners.TEAM.

Malvern College 3 Liverpool Ramblers 2

Playing their third game in a week, the College were soonon the attack against what appeared to be a strong Ramblersside. After 20 minutes however they fell behind. After a goodrun down the wing, the Ramblers' left-winger centred to thefar post, where the inside-right shot on the turn into the right-hand corner of the net, well wide of Byers. The College werehowever behind for only a minute, and equalised with theirnext attack. After losing the ball in a tackle Walters, theCollege right winger, fought back, gained the ball, and passedit along the goal-line to Stockbridge, whose centre hit theRamblers' centre-half and went into the net for an own goal.Three minutes later the College took the lead. MacNaughtwon the ball on the half-way line, and dribbled forward. Hefound Stockbridge with a good pass, and the latter gave thegoalkeeper no chance with a hard shot into the net from theedge of the penalty area. The College were now pressing hard,and scored their third goal in 5 minutes from a free kick,awarded on the edge of the penalty area. MacNaught beat thedefensive wall and the goalkeeper with a low shot into thecorner of the net.

Just before half-time Ramblers pulled a goal back. A crossfrom the left to the far post was headed down to the centre-forward who picked his spot from 12 yards, wide of theadvancing Byers.

In the second half two efforts by Stockbridge were close,but most of the chances fell to Ramblers, and Byers pulledoff a string of good saves. Ramblers looked certain to equalisefive minutes from time, after their outside right was away onhis own, but somehow Byers, at first sent the wrong way by acurving shot, managed to change direction and turn the shotround the post.

Malvern were perhaps lucky to win, but none the less playedwell all round.TEAM.

Wolverhampton G.S. 1 Malvern College 1

Wolverhampton started at a fast pace and with their twomid-field players dominating play, they built up a number ofattacks which were only held by some good tackling by theMalvern defence. Malyern in these early exchanges weresluggish and slow in their reactions and Wolverhampton lookedthe better side. Graham was playing well at centre-half, andhis heading and tackling saved several dangerous situations.Malvern towards half-time came more into the game, butwith the Wolverhampton defensive four setting an off-side trap,several promising Malvern attacks were spoiled by playersremaining off-side. The half-time score was 0-0.

Malvern were soon on the attack in the second half.MacNaught and Stockbridge always looked dangerous but

too many attacks were initiated down the centre of the fieldwhere the defence was at its strongest. Malvern scored whenafter a corner Stockbridge headed into the goal, after theWolverhampton goalkeeper had pushed the ball against thecross-bar. Malvern at this stage looked the better team, andwere taking control of the mid-field, yet they never lookedlike stretching the Wolverhampton defence again, and littlewas being made of the cross-field passes. Wolverhamptonequalised after a Malvern defender had had his clearanceblocked and the Wolverhampton centre-forward gainedpossession, centred, and their outside-left ran into the middle,controlled the ball, and from six yards gave Byers no chance.

A draw was a fair result, but the Malvern wingers mustshow more penetration if they are to create the openings forMacNaught and Stockbridge in the middle.TEAM.

Golf SocietyThis term saw the beginning of a new era with regard to

golf at Malvern, for, after many years as Master-in-Chargeof the Golfing Society, Mr. Collinson decided that the timehad come to place the burden on someone else's shoulders.We are very grateful to Mr. Scott for taking on the job.

The society now has about as many members as it ispossible to accommodate but with people leaving all the timethere is always room for any new members. Most of thecredit for this flourishing state of affairs must go to Mr.Collinson. With his constant willingness to listen and talkabout golf he has been a source of great encouragement tomany Malvernians, past and present.

Already this term there have been several innovationsincluding Target Golf and the newly-instituted House GolfCompetition and it was good to see that Mr. Collinson isstill around to keep a friendly, and dare I say fatherly, eyeon the proceedings. Under Mr. Scott's guidance there appearsto be plenty in store for the members during the next fewterms.

THE HOUSE GOLF COMPETITION

An experimental 36-hole stroke play competition was heldthis terms in which houses were invited to enter teams of threeplayers. The competition was played, with no handicapallowance, on two successive Sundays in October and the besttwo aggregate scores in each team, over the 36 holes, wereadded together to give the final total for the houses competing.

The response was so enthusiastic that not everyone com-pleted their round on the first day before darkness set in.By reducing the numbers to those people who had com-pleted their round it was hoped to avoid the same situation aweek later but unfortunately the weather was so foul that itgot dark earlier than expected and one or two people did notget all the way round. However, it is probably fair to saythat this did not affect the result.

The scoring was fairly good and special mention should bemade of Thomson's round on the first day and of the roundsof Edginton and Penfold on the second day when conditionswere atrocious. In all the competition was voted a successand, as the plan is to play it in the summer when conditionsare more suitable, there seems nothing to prevent it becominga regular fixture. Here are the leading scores: —

SailingWith a membership of ninety-three the sailing season showed

good prospects. However the weather was hostile and the firsthalf of the term was disrupted by rain-storms, floods, andminimal wind.

But with two Fireflies, two Graduates, and a Merlin Rocketas well as six private boats belonging to members, there waslittle to hold us back !

We sailed continuously four times a week throughout theterm.

Once again we participated in the Arden Boating Club races.At the end of the season P. C. L. Harris (8) was awarded theJunior Trophy of the club.

With a well tuned sailing team we had one of our bestseasons ever, winning four and drawing one of our six matches.For the first time in years we beat the O.M's at Barnt GreenSailing Club.

C. M. Whitehall.*-

Considerable work has been done both this and last termin improving the site.

The extremely generous donation of an Enterprise dinghyto the club by Mr. B. E. Field, to whom we express oursincere thanks, has increased our fleet to six but we are stillin dire need of more boats.

In the future we hope for an increased membership, andhope that as many people may learn the pleasures of sailingand help to make next season as successful as last season.

TennisAfter the miserable May, the VI enjoyed unbroken sun-

shine and took every chance to practise. The first match afterCommem was at home against Wycliffe, a new fixture againsta school with a good tennis record in recent years. Malvernwere at ful l strength and played hard, competitive tennis from2.30 until 7 p.m., winning by 7 rubbers to one. The match wasby no means as one-sided as the score suggests, as severalrubbers went to three sets. To do Wycliffe justice they wereprobably handicapped by the courts, which soon becamedusty in the tremendous heat. The Colts scored a good 5-2win at the same time: three pairs played, with Cooperdeputizing for Trotter, and Field and Harris appearing as3rd pair.

The match against Dean Close had to be called off as severalof their side were unavailable, but on Sunday, luly 6th weentertained a strong team of O.M.s, in the persons of D. C.Jenkins and P. G. Mathieson (5), R. J. Hackett, F. D. Oakeleyand G. Mel. Wilson (6) and I. Hilton-Bailey (8). After a verygood match the O.M.s emerged the winners, having given theVI a most valuable lesson. This match saw the first change inthe VI, C. S. Tunnicliffe taking the place of Fearey, who wasaway.

Tunnicliffe also played (deputizing for B. R. Weatherill whowas engaged with the examiners) in the last match of termagainst K.E.S., Birmingham, again at home. This was a


curious match in that it was really more one-sided than thescore suggested — a 5-4 win for the Coll. Fearey and H. B.Weatherill, playing as 1st pair, displayed much less than theirusual effectiveness in losing to their opposite numbers instraight sets, while Armitage and Toral feebly capitulated tothe K.E.S. 3rds. Fortunately Williams and Tunnicliffe hit awinning streak and demolished the opposing 2nd and 3rdpairs in rapid succession. The other pairs soon recoveredtheir form and the result was not in doubt for long. Norubber went into a third set. Meanwhile the Colts won 3-1,Trotter and C. Hill dealing efficiently with both K.E.S. pairs,Herbert and Winstanley losing to the opposing 2nd.

Wimbledon 1969: Tragedy and Triumph.

The party assembled at Wimbledon on July 22nd with goodhopes of making some mark. The season had been a successfulone both in results gained and (more important) in the qualityof play and match temperament. A close look at the draw,however, showed that if we survived two rounds we wouldmeet Seaford, the Youll Cup holders and favourites to retainit. But as things turned out, the opening day was one ofdisappointment. First, the Colts, contesting for the ThomasBowl, did not acquit themselves well. Winstanley and Field(Herbert being unavailable) were made to look clumsy byCharterhouse, while Trotter and Hill, hitherto unbeaten as apair, did not play particularly badly but found no inspirationagainst Wellington. Neither pair won a set.

The senior team of four, at full strength, met Wrekin, anda splendid match followed. B. R. Weatherill and Williamshad a fast and fur ious rubber with the Wrekin Ists, and withthe scores at set-all it was anybody's game. Weatherill hadserved excellently and Williams had given much bettersupport than he had done earlier in the season. As the finalset wore on, however, Williams tensed up, and on Weatherill'sservice he hit three volleys running into the net. This gaveWrekin the vital break and they took the rubber. Fearey andH. B. Weatherill struck back with a fine straight-set win,leaving B. R. Weatherill to contest the deciding singles. Heplayed some quite inspiring tennis and again it was as closeas could be, but he ran himself into the ground a little toosoon and could not maintain the pressure right to the end.

The high quality of the match was some consolation for thedisappointment of again being dismissed in the opening roundof the ' Youll.' It was in fact easily the closest first-roundmatch ; only one other even went to three rubbers. Wrekinhad an easy win in the next round, then duly lost to Seaford.

Happily, this was not the end of the story. In the Plate event(the Ben Clark trophy) the Coll scored an easy win overDownside, followed by a tough match with Eltham in whicheach pair won in three sets. Next came Repton. We hadbeaten them 5-4 in May, but that had been largely due to oursuperior 2nd and 3rd pairs ; Repton's 1st were unbeaten.Weatherill and Williams played well but lost by the narrowmargin of 6-8, 5-7 ; Fearey and H. B. Weatherill struck backwith a quick win. All now depended upon the Captain, andin the singles he played grand tennis against Repton's B.Greatrex, a Staffordshire Junior player, and won in three sets.In the semi-final against Cheltenham Williams produced hisbest form of the season, and fine attacking tennis by Malvernyielded a 2-0 win ; and the final, against Taunton, was a slightanti-climax after these heroics, as Malvern won a fairly easyvictory.

So the team brought a trophy back to Malvern after all, aconsolation prize only but still the most solid success won fora long time. It was a just reward for a side that always workedhard and pulled together as a team. Tennis has been rather apoor relation among Malvern games for a long time, but thisyear's performances show what can be done by a dedicatedside, and the long-overdue introduction of tennis colours nextyear is, perhaps, no more than a recognition of the game'snew standing. Particular tribute must be paid to B. R.Weatherill. For four seasons, as Colts and Senior, he hascontributed much to our tennis: his game has visibly improvedeach year, and as Captain he led his side in the best way — byhis example on court. It was a fitting reward that he shouldhave a good team to lead.

We cannot end without a word of gratitude to two men towhom our tennis owes a lot. Ron Hughes again gave mostgenerously of his time to coaching the team and passing onhis invaluable know-how; and Jack Hayes proved an out-standing groundsman in the face of great difficulties. Despitethe torrential rain in May and the dusty drought of Junethe courts were always immaculately prepared.

HOUSE NOTESSchool House

If it wasn't for Macduff, there wouldn't have beenanyone to dispose of Macbeth and if it hadn't been forDuncan being there to be murdered, Macbeth wouldn'thave been able to usurp the throne of Scotland in thefirst place. If it wasn't for S.H. there wouldn't havebeen either a Duncan or a Macduff . . . . in the schoolplay, that is (and that isn't strictly true as the otherhouses managed to provide most of the other membersof the cast). Doubtless — and this is for the benefit ofany sceptical logicians — the reasoning behind this argu-ment isn't as sound as it might be. Nevertheless, forthe sake of the House Notes . . . .

Duncan was " a most sainted king " and even Macbethadmitted (after he had killed him) that after his death" there's nothing serious in mortality." Macduff like-wise takes on the part of the saviour of Scotland. All inall S.H. succeeded in providing a couple of genuinemartyrs. It is at this point that one should hesitate amoment before carrying the analogy too far, and before

jumping to any vast conclusion ; after all, Macduff hasappeared in previous years as a blind and lecherousold-sea-dog and Duncan has been reduced to the levelof a mere servant.

Perhaps they weren't type-cast in any case ? So S.H.has avoided being branded as a house with a regularsupply of saints. What is more, there seemed to be agreat deal of conviction behind the performance of the" Shag-hair'd villain" who did away with Macduff'sfamily. So maybe we've got a fair selection of bothrogues and saints in S.H. after all; doubtless a veryhealthy combination !

No. 1

A few years ago No. 1 evolved from being a total-itarian state to become a democracy by the institutionof a body known as the House Council. This consistsof elected members of each dormitory who meet thehousemaster once or twice a term to discuss ideas onthe running of the house. The official newsagency pub-lished a statement on it at the time of its opening.

Since then it has been functioning every term and itmust be partly due to this, that No. 1 has taken suchgreat steps forward.

This term a number of subjects were brought up. Amotion for the legalisation of home clothes during theweekend was passed with an amendment and we cannow wear sweaters and jeans during supper on Saturdaysand Sundays for an experimental period.

Due to the popularity of the national sport, yarder,we are having a floodlight installed for the houseyarder pitch, and may also obtain a ladder for theretrieving of stranded yarder balls. Perhaps these newfacilities will improve our league record.

The coffers of the treasury have been rilled by thekind gift of an old boy. The problem that now faces usis what to do with the money. Any ideas or furtherdonations will be greatfully received.

No. 3

10 House Notes 3 times a year for 5 years ; and 1am the one to write exactly the 150th from the numberI first thought of. A sobering thought. As sobriety is ata considerable premium in No. 3, perhaps that is nota Bad Thing; and then again perhaps it is. Who cantell ? Not I, my friends.

No. 3 ? It is, alas (Lat., = ah me), in its sense ofhumour and in everything else just the same as all theother nondescript houses, except from the inside : ittoo has a breakfast menu varying from fried bread andbacon to pain frit sous lard aux ongles des bonnes, it toodespises the non-existent pot-hunters, it too has anarrogant Middle League team whose captain as alwaysis the writer of these inconsequential witterings. Butprinciply of artistic integrity and the British prejudiceagainst plagiarism forbid us to mention these : thoughthey seem to have failed so far.

In No. 3, too, the welfare state has finally driven outthe traditional public school virilocracy ; though perhapsthe forces of reaction are stronger than elsewhere aspersonal fagging is universally (almost) missed andthe present regulations are stretched to breaking point;and we see no reason to change the highly satisfactoryfines system which in fact causes no friction — indeedthe only source of friction left in the house, admittedlya major one, is the housemaster's hands.

An alarming rumour has sprung up recently, thatNo. 3 is now the Scholarly House : this term's entryto whom our salves, or salvete as we say in the pro-fession, will shortly be forthcoming, should havedecisively scotched that rumour. It also remains anarrogantly Philistine house : the fact that one or twoof the Top Brains (one, actually) have a strangleholdon all the cultural societies is due solely to the desperateneed to embellish an UCCA form ; and 1 hope theCambridge selectors see this before it is too late. No. 3remains much the same, though younger and lessvicious : even the House Magazine was only anotherof their (his) ploys. The housemaster's conjunctionsand the housemaster's chin remain the only real growthareas, and with them I leave you. If only because hewill be considerably improved without them.

No. 4

With the coming of a new School year, the Houseembarks on a new proposition, and welcomes Mr. andMrs. Scott, as well as Marcus and Carol, and hopethat they enjoy being here. Furthermore we hope thattheir arrival here will encourage the House, as a whole,to move in new directions, enjoying an equal, if notgreater success, than their predecessor, Mr. Hooley.

Already the female influence is evident in the house,and not only do the boys have mugs in the bathrooms,in which they may wash their teeth, but there is alsosomeone to relieve Mrs. Barton of the full burden ofthe domestic affairs.

As usual House Spirit is high, and boys are facingthe rather drawn out term with the utmost composure,neither rioting, nor demanding more power !

The respective House teams must be congratulated,in that they have achieved a reasonable amount ofsuccess, inspite of the loss of most of their concretebacking, due to the 'A' level successes of last term.The individual members of the sports world also deservea separate mention, since they seem to have gracedthe school with an abnormally large amount of support.

The House's swimming efforts commend themselves,since the house yet again won the Life Saving Cup,which seems to have been won more through goodmanagement, rather than skills, but their actual swim-ming merits were demonstrated by the swimmingmatches, in which they proved to the other Housesthat they were certainly going to provide an oppositionthat could not be ignored in future years.

Finally, by way of a warning, although we had nomain stars in the school play, work has already startedin preparation for next term's House Play competitionsfor which we have a most original cast.

No. 5

The oil slick hit the shores of No. 5 and as Canutewas not there to repel the waves, so Macadam had tobe employed to resurface the ' sacred' yard. Manyforecasters predicted that activity in the No. 5 yardwould begin to slacken but close observers will tell youthat on the contrary, activity is still rife. Recruits arebeing blooded to the forward defensive on a livelierwicket and the bouncing ball is proving a problem forthe yarder ' specialists.'

Every afternoon our two linguistic, footballing schoolprefects make their way down Woodshears Road withtheir own problems : " How do we deal with the over-lapping full back ? " or " Who should we put in theforward line for Saturday ? "

The other school prefect — the racing expert of thehouse — will be leading the school cavalry in its chargeon Wednesday. (The best of luck to all concerned !)The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of Foot-ball waits for results to come from league matchesbefore he can draw up the league tables.

Spare also a thought for the artists, musicians, actors,swimmers, shooters, golfers, runners and especially theacademics. At the time of writing, No. 5 lead theOxbridge stakes with two runners already havingacquired places.

Meanwhile behind all this activity, the Housemasterthinks of next summer when he will be testing all andsundry with some lively bowling and A.C.S.C. con-tinues to attract the crowds when he can spare thetime from the excitement of " Macbeth." He stillwonders how to get that elusive goal. Some say achange of position will bring the answer. (He's madeit with not one, but two. Ed.)

The oil slick indeed has not stopped activity. Theobservers have proved the aspiring Maurice Woodruffswrong. The wheel of change in No. 5 continues to turnwith increasing rapidity.

No. 6

Dear ReaderAfter eight weeks of blissful licentiousness, the House

reformed this September in a rather serious emotionalstate. It seems that a number of boys were sufferingseriously from the sudden cessation of pleasurableactivities and were in need of help. No sooner had aremarkable recovery been made when the school playarrived. No. 6 had 14 actors in this play, and the troublebegan again. Those in the play being embroiled infurther extra-curricular activities, and by remarks madelate at night, fresh wounds were opened up in others.

It seems that the Middles of the House were ableto throw off these depressing tendencies more easilythan most, in their performances on the Football pitches.Goals have come in abundance and it is, we think,generally recognized that the Middle League havestamped their own distinctive style of play on theMiddle League Scene. Without rising to such greatheights the Juniors and Seniors have consistently addedsupport to the pillars of the House.

No. 7

No. 7 is not really much different from last term.We returned in September to find the yard had at lastbeen resurfaced, but the netting continues to rot away.Any likely new boys for 1975 can look forward tofinding new netting, but they may find the surfacechurned up again.

The Sound of Music is once more emerging fromthe house as our portly conductor leads on the part-singers and ensemble players once again.

Banquo, contrary to some reports, was not in factactually stabbed on the last night of the play, much tothe disappointment of some No. 7 juniors, and headmirably led the Coll Pre's hockey team to victory,hacking feminine ankles in the process with true sevenspirit.

Every effort is being made not to come second inevery soccer event this year. The housemaster continuesto search for new players, but the money in the houseaccount was not quite enough to persuade the goal-scoring A.C.S.C. to return to school, and so the 10-man Senior League side must struggle on, unless re-cruiting in America of a home (Malvern) sick Thai issuccessful.

Finally a word for the house gymnasts, who againworked hard and entertained spectators in the Juniorhouse competition; however to no avail, since ourwinning gym team of last year still remains intact.

No. 8

On September 28th a full-scale fete was held in thegrounds of No. 8 with the aim of raising money for aChristmas Fund for the elderly people of Malvern whoare visited by boys in the school. With the ideas, helpand participation of all in No. 8, within one week somethirty-five items or stalls were arranged, including ahydrogen balloon race across the country, revolvinghorses, a fortune teller, rubber dinghy, coconut shy,' Aunt Sally,' tight-rope, shooting range and Morrisdancing — to cater for all tastes, abilities and pockets.Most hair-raising was a huge ' aerial runway' descentfrom the top of a fire escape. While a ' Prince of theFete' competition took the place of a vetoed beautycompetition. All the schools of Malvern were invited ;total attendance exceeded 700, and the total net profitwas £40 in cash, with a sense of worthwhile enjoyablecontribution by all who were there.

A man with glasses enters the room and walks towardsthe prefects' table, beaming all the while.

" Will you sit down and face this way ? "

(The members of the house, 51 of them in all, sitdown and face that way.)

" Welcome back ! " (51 people start to cough, fidgetetc.)


" You can't say things haven't changed since welast met. Eleven old faces have departed, while nineothers have just joined the company. To begin with, Iwould like to mention 'O' and 'A' level results. Onlyfour 'A' levels were dropped in all. 'O' levels quitegood too! I want a list of 'O' level adders (whateverthey may be!) by tomorrow lunch."

" As you can see, the dining room has been painted."(A fact which is all too obvious.) " The extension isreally coming along now, and with a bit of luck shouldbe ready by . . . . by ...."

" Well, enough of the past, what of the future ? Wewill, I hope, continue to be in a class of our own whenit comes to music, whether it be in the monastery, BigSchool or under the gym. On the football fields I hopewe shall meet with a fair amount of success and thatcertain people will this season keep their socks up ! "

" I hope this term will be a happy one for all con-cerned. I would like you to keep this thought in yourmind, if nothing else. Always be kind and considerateto the very old and the very young."

(" Ay, Ay," mumbles a person on the top table," someone must have just become a grandfather ! ")

SERGEANT MAJOR E. J. R. HARPER

Died July 24th, 1969

Sergeant Major Harper was known so well to somany generations of Malvernians during his 33 yearsat Malvern as P.T. and Boxing Instructor that it ispresumptuous for any one Malvernian to attempt towrite for us all. Nevertheless, although I knew himclosely for a mere six or so years out of the last ten ofhis career, I believe that my own warm liking andadmiration for him will reflect the feelings of all whocame under his training.

He came to Malvern after a career in the EssexRegiment. I can only imagine him twenty years earlierbut even in his late 50's there were few boys who couldsurpass him in gymnastic ability.

He was a firm disciplinarian who brooked no non-sense ; but his sharp words were invariably temperedwith a quiet humour and an obvious understanding ofboys' abilities.

Sergeant Major Harper was one of those few faithfulstalwarts who saw the College through the war-time


disruptions. Although the standard of Boxing, which Ibelieve was his first love, inevitably suffered during theWar, it was largely through his enthusiasm that Boxingcontinued as an active College sport throughout thatperiod and that there was so rapid a recovery aftermore normal conditions returned ; only three yearsafter the return to Malvern, the College narrowly failedto win outright the Quadrangular Boxing Match whenit was first held at Malvern after its post-war revival.

This was the period during which I knew him and Iknow that I write for all Malvernians of my time thatwe owe a debt of gratitude to Sergeant Major Harperfor his encouragement and enthusiasm during thosecritical years.

J.E.C.

Sergeant Major Harper lived on in Malvern after hisretirement and I used to meet him in the Court Roadand Barnards Green area, first on his bicycle and latterlywalking. His health became poor but the wonderful,slow smile remained. My abiding memory of him willbe at Overbury camps where he was a tower of strength;he set an infectious example of hard work, always withgood humour, and, as has been written above, he alwaysunderstood boys' abilities.

THE CRICKETER CUP

3rd round v. Haileybury Hermits

After a wash-out at Haileybury the previous week whenO.Ms, were building up a big score this match was played atMalvern on July 13th, the day after term ended. It was anidyllic day ; an incomparable setting, a fast wicket, lightningout-field, one of the few days that justify intervals for drinks.

Haileybury won the toss and batted, but were soon 4 for two,thanks to a fine catch by Richardson at very short square legand a wicket for Hunter. There followed an excellent standby Freedman and Broomfield, but when Haileybury seemedto be getting the upper hand and the partnership had addedabout 80 Chesterton and Norton brought O.Ms, back intothe game ; the scoring fell to 4 in six overs and Norton gotrid of both batsmen, bowling Freedman with one that floatedin with the arm and having Broomfield well caught by Hunterat long-on during a spell of three consecutive maidens. Smithhit a few well-struck blows and Foster propped up the latterorder ; a final fling by the last pair added 24.

Davies, who had gallantly and with fair success stood in aswicket-keeper for Rawes, was out with the O.M. score at 18but Wilcox and MacLaurin, beginning circumspectly, graduallytook command, and added 91. Richardson might well havebeen out first ball, his sliced shot falling only just over extra-cover. Thereafter there was no holding him; he lost Mac-Laurin, who had been hitting powerfully, to a great c and bby Freedman, and Tolchard, but he lambasted the bowling toall corners of the ground and the winning hit, in the 44thover, put up his own personal 50 in 41 minutes.

Freedman, slow left-arm like Norton, took 3 for 36 in his12 overs and must be the Man of the Match ; it was interestingthat on a perfect pitch slow left-arm bowlers were moreeffective than the medium-pacers.

SEMI-FINAL v. Old Brightonians

Brighton, winning the all-important toss, were off to a goodstart from Smythe and Parsons (ex-Surrey) at a rate of 4 runsan over. An early dropped catch foreshadowed a waning ofthe tremendous enthusiasm and exciting fielding which hadbeen the hallmark of the previous two years' cricket. Norton,first change, reduced the run rate and then lured both openersout of their ground to be well stumped by Rawes. He thenmissed a hard c and b (which proved expensive) from J. A.Lush, who proceeded to select the right ball to hit and thenhit it exceptionally hard, often in the air safely, between mid-onand extra cover. He survived a difficult chance at the wicketoff Chesterton, who beat him more than once, and on whomfortune did not smile. The left-handed Lock, after a circum-spect start, supported his Captain well and in the twenty minutesbefore lunch helped him raise the average run rate from 3 to4 an over. They scored 60 or so together in that time whenO.Ms, neglected to guard the shorter square boundary — aturning point in the game. At lunch Brighton were 161 for2 off 41 overs.

J. A. Lush was out soon afterwards but his brother, P.M.,started where he had left off and punished the bowlingseverely. The most exhilarating piece of Malvern out-cricketwas the brilliant fielding in, and throwing from, the deep byTolchard — a pleasure to player and spectator alike — climaxedby a long throw which hit the stumps before Lewis had madehis ground.

Facing a formidable total Davies and Wilcox started veryslowly, with the former once again the dominant partner.During the early overs it was surprising that a sea-fret whichenshrouded the ground did not bring the game to a halt.Eventually Davies hit two fours in an over. Wilcox, attemptingto emulate this, straight drove to the boundary but was caughtat the wicket next ball, just on tea-time.

Richardson set about the bowling at once and improved thescoring rate, but seemed unable to restrain himself to wait forthe right ball to hit and was eventually caught at extra cover.Unfortunately Allerton had in the meantime been run outwhen his partner refused a comfortable single which wouldhave got him off the mark. With the run rate sagging eachbatsman had to go for runs immediately, with the result thatwickets fell regularly. There was no significant stand andMalvern were well beaten.

There can be no gainsaying that the better team on the daywon — better in all departments of the game. Brighton seemedto be on their toes, eager to do well in their first year in thecompetition, compared with a somewhat jaded Malvern. Hadthe long distances which many of the players had travelledto the game contributed to this ?

O.M. CRICKET TOUR 1969

1st match v. Old Eastbournians, July 28th, 29th.

The Old Eastbournians honoured us by producing powerfulopposition. A first innings score of 210 for 8 was only achievedafter a struggle of considerable interest. Tolchard seniorlooked very much at home playing his first tour innings.. Bythe close of play the O.Es. had 78 for 5 and the best of theirbatting was gone. Heavy rain overnight and an unfortunateaccident to Bryan Richardson altered the situation. TheEastbournians batted on from a late start and declared after

an hour of play, 21 behind. The Malvern second innings lastedtwo hours and left Eastbournians 165 to win in 110 minutes.They never found themselves on terms with this target, andwith Norton and Chesterton rattling through the overs hadto be content with staving off defeat.

For the first time in very many years a member of the staffwho is not also a Malvernian played on the tour. Alan Carteris of course a member of the Society and known to manyMalvern cricketers as the master in charge of the Gryphons,and was able to play in two matches. It is to be hoped thatthis newly revived custom will not again be allowed to lapse.

3rd Match v. Lancing Rovers, July 31st.

Once again the toss was won and a score somewhat slowlycompiled. Hill who consistently chips in with twenties andthirties, on this day formed the back-bone of the Malvernbatting. Lancing bowled very steadily containing the scoringrate to a figure below 200 when the declaration had to come.Lancing made a brave effort to get these runs and in fact camewithin 11 runs of the figure set them.

2nd match v. Sussex Martlets, July 30th.

The Malvernians won the toss and batted somewhat stolidly,until Treverton-Jones made a very useful attack look tiredand ordinary. In his innings of 45 he drove particularly wellon the off-side. The declaration came at 200, rather late, butthis was strong opposition. Treverton-Jones and Draffanbowled accurately and made the best possible use of a wicketwhich had plenty of grass on it. One by one players moreaccustomed to the docility of The Saffrons were defeated byballs which were cutting off the seam. The Martlets skippermight perhaps consider himself unlucky in being bowled bya ball which came back over a foot to strike the outside ofhis off stump. There was no holding the two bowlers and anotable victory was achieved with an hour to spare.

Hutton batted with supreme confidenceand assurance and although everyone was pleased to see himso well recovered from his accident it was a happy momentwhen he was brilliantly caught and bowled by Draffan.Wickets fell steadily, but twice Repton were let off the hook,once with the score at 91 for 7 and again at 150 for 9 whenMaidlow uncharacteristically dropped a catch at long-off.Malvern never quite came to terms with their task, but it wasa great encouragement and pleasure to see Maidlow preparedto take control and look so much at home against theaggressive attack of Repton. Treverton-Jones again showed hisability as an all-rounder although at the close he showed littleconfidence in the batting ability of his captain.

5th match v. Repton, Pilgrims, August 2nd.

In this the return match, Malvern won the toss and battedfirst. At last after a series of uncharacteristic innings Richardsonplayed himself back into form. This was the only century foror against on the tour, but was worth waiting for. He was wellsupported by Draffan and Stockbridge. It was a pity that this,the highest score of the tour was wasted effort since rainbrought proceedings to a close when Repton were 37 for nowicket. During the lunch interval John Hutton walked intothe pavilion to see his brother Richard on the television screenbowling to David Bailey in the Rose's match, and stated thatyou can't get away from Repton v. Malvern anywhere.

6th match v. Eastbourne C.C., August 3rd.

Eastbourne batted first on a damp wicket, and despite asecond wicket partnership of over 50, wickets fell at regularintervals. Draffan again showed his quality as a bowler on arather green wicket. Davies and Treverton-Jones laid a soundWelsh foundation. This suprisingly was Davies' highest score onthe tour though he looks a sounder player everytime he goesto the wicket. Draffan, Richardson and Maidlow all gaveuseful support, but when the score slumped from 128 for 3to 129 for 7 the situation appeared critical. Norton not forthe first, nor come to that for the last time, came to therescue and clinched a notable victory by scoring 15 runs infour successive balls.

So another tour has come and gone, the 65th to be precise.The tour was based this year on The Burlington which proveda happy arrangement. An encouraging feature once againwas the number of recent leavers who played, and who wonapproval from every quarter for performances on and off thefield.
