. The Retirement of Mr Cornwell

Very soon after the Easter Centenary celebrations the school bade farewell to Mr Cornwell as Rector. Despite his years and the burdens of office, he was still showing plenty of vitality. There was no more than a hint of grey about the familiar, colourful complexion, the step could still be jaunty, and the greeting breezy or stern, to fit the occasion. He went off into retirement as one determined to enjoy it.

His eighteen years as Rector were the culmination of both a career and a unique association with the school. He first entered Southland Boys' High School in 1933 as a 3rd former. As some of his later colleagues might put it, he showed promise and made good use of his opportunities. He made his mark in the classroom and on the athletic track, and developed his talent for public speaking and debating. He moved to Auckland for a final year at Auckland Grammar School and then on to university to gain a B.A. degree.

The Sec,ond World war interrupted his studies and provided him with fresh horizons. He served five years in the N.Z. Army, four of them on active service overseas in the Western Desert, Tunisia and Italy. He had a spell in England at a commissioning course at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. On return to N.Z. at the end of the war he took his M.A. with Honours and began his teaching career at Mt Albert Grammar School. Six years later he moved to the new Papakura High School as Head of the English Department, and then on to the neighl;>ouring new co-educational school, Manurewa, as Deputy Principal. With this experience behind him he returned to Southland Boys' High School as Rector in 1963 for the second half of his teaching career.

Having experienced the growth of new schools in the north, he was faced with the problems of rapid expansion in his old school. He saw two new teaching blocks and a new gymnasium added to the school. The second of the teaching blocks was fittingly completed this year and named the Cornwell Block. Its workshop facilities reflected his desire to see the school diversify its course for the benefit of a wider intake of boys.

Growth of numbers went hand in hand with other problems. The local effects of a nationwide shortage of teachers plagued Mr Cornwell throughout his time as Rector. The recruitment and retention of adequate staff was a perennial headache that diverted energy and attention from other tasks. It made it difficult for him to exercise the vision which he could have been expected to bring to the job. In some years it was a major exercise just to keep the school operating. Ironically these staffing difficulties appeared to be at an end just when he retired.

His dilemma is clearly illustrated in two of his first acts as Rector - the curtailment of school singing and the abolition of cadets, both activities which he strongly supported, but which were in difficulties with expanded numbers and staff shortages. -The revitalising of singing is proving a slow process, but cadets has been largely replaced by the Adventure Camp programme. This latter was one of Mr Cornwell's most abiding interests, in and out of the school. He was a key figure in the early years of the Southland Youth Adv�nture Trust when Borland Lodge was acquired and established. It gave him much pleasure when the Old Boys decided to build a lodge for the school centennial.

Mr Corriwell's approach to his job was essentially simple. His commitment was total. Nothing that he could do to advance the interests of the school was left undone. His was a visible presence when school was in session,.gown flowing through the corridors, or clad in overcoat and white silk scarf with umbrella when outside in the elements. On Saturdays he was invariably to be found on the sidelines watching all sporting grades ana codes, exhorting and encouraging. While he took pride in the successes of the top teams, he saw the strength of sport in the high level of participation by ordinary, less skilful boys in lower teams that had few competition successes but gave some satisfaction to the players.

3

He did not keep his restless energy and knowledge to himself. He had very definite ideas on a wide range of school operations and frequently communicated these to teaching and office staff, groundsmen and maintenance men, boys and parents. There were few people associated with the school who were not affected in some positive way by his urgings, and the present appearance of the school owes much to his active interest in planting trees and shrubs and the layout of grounds. While his arguments did not always command agreement, they did compel respect. Assemblies gave further scope for this habit and also for his firm conviction that boys should not go through the school unacquainted with Christian teaching.

He believed in being very much in touch with the mood of the people of Invercar­gill, with the object of seeing that the school was in tune with that mood. His time as Rector covered the period when the town co-educational schools came to maturity and dominated, numerically, the secondary education scene. He maintained that there would always be an important place for the single sex school and was determined to maintain it. The Old Boys' and Parent-Teacher Associations received his strong, continuous support. R otary and Lodge took up a large slice of his spare time. Especially in the later years when family responsibilities lessened as children left home, he kept a punishing schedule of evening meetings and gatherings.

The school thanks him for all he has done over a long and difficult period. It thinks he has left us in very good heart to face the next series of challenges. It wishes him and Mrs Cornwell many happy and hard earned years of retirement in Nelson. There he may certainly be expected to enjoy the weather, and also the fishing, his favourite recreation, which is not unconnected with a popular perception of him among the boys here. He first entered the school two years after the fiftieth jubilee. As Rector he presided over the 85th and centennial celebrations, we hope to welcome him back as a visitor for the next such gathering.

Mf J. C. Alabaster, Rector, May 1981

The school, in its centennial year, was very pleased to receive the news of the

appointment of another Old Boy and former Staff member to the position of Rector.

After five years as principal of Kingswell High School, Mr Alabaster was no

stranger to the demands required in the top position of the school. His previous

knowledge of the school, gained as a staff member, Head of Department and Deputy

Princ.ipal· enabled him to move into top gear and quickly assess the needs of the

school as he saw it.

Mr Alabaster has many skills which will be brought to bear to ensure the smooth

running of the school. His skill as a teacher of mathematics will not be lost. His skill as an administrator will be invaluable. His broad view of the role of education

has already made its mark on the proposed changes in school routine for 1982. His

concern for the well-being of the staff was immediately seen in his goal to upgrade

the staffroom and kitchen soon after his appointment. His compassion for the under­

priviledged of the community has also already been evidenced.

The school can indeed look forward to a period of exciting development under Mr

Alabaster's guidance and leadership. We wish him a satisfying term of office and hope

that his plans for the school are accomplished.

Staff Notes The most not�ble event of the year must be the new surroundings the staff now

enjoy in the Staff room. During the August holidays a major refurbishing took place and the final result is a very pleasing one indeed. The once familiar faded red­leather chair has forever departed the scene. Our thanks to Mr Alabaster for the efforts he made to upgrade our facilities. We understand he almost lost the battle!

Some new and familiar faces were welcomed back to the school in February. After some three years many on leave Mrs Cave turned from domestic chores to scientific ones. Obviously she found the former more to her liking as she bid us a final fare­well at the end of that first term. Sorry, Pat, to lose you - thanks for your contribution to the school over a number of years.

Another loss was the departure of Mrs Evans after four terms at the school. We thank her for her sterling work with photography for the magazine and wish her well at Kingswell.

The technical department welcomed two new faces this year. Mr Rodgers as HOD and Mr Storey, as the metalwork instructor. We welcome Mr Rodgers from Hargest (what - another one!) and Mr Storey came to us from England via the Outpost. We hope youboth enjoy your time at this school.

Mrs J. Brown and Mrs L. Clay helped us at the beginning of Term II until a successor for Mrs Cave was found. We thank them for valued assistance. Then Mrs G. Hughes arrived to grace the science department. Her vitality and enthusiasm were immediately apparent': We hope she will be with us for sometime. Mr· Sarson returned to Art Duties after sometime away in England and prior to that at Kingswell. We look forward to a continuation of his artistic enthusiasm evident around the school during his previous appointment. He succeeded Mr Stevens who left us to return home to Britain. His Welsh background made him an obvious target of the rugby fraternity, his dissertations on the sport being sorely missed. The departure of the Rector, Mr Cornwell, at the end of Term I is mentioned elsewhere as is the appointment of his successor Mr Alabaster.

Two other ladies were appointed during the year as ancillary staff. Mrs Breuss became the new laboratory assistant, succeeding Mrs Milligan who left to spend the year at the Outpost. Mrs Petrie arrived to give additional clerical assistance to the staff, especially in the completion of registers. We are very pleased to welcome them and their charm to the staff.

During the year we have been indebted to people who have helped in a relieving capacity. We would especially like to thank Mrs Wilson, Mrs Pryde, Mrs Fotheringham, Mrs Treweek, Mrs Fletcher, Mrs Scott, Mr Waddick, Mr & Mrs Ward, Mrs Pierce, all of whom have helped on various occasions.

A final note of welcome and farewell to our French assistant M.Faurey from Montpellier.

The language students have indeed been fortunate to have a "live" Frenchman for the second _year in succession. Au revoir, Michel, Bon Voyage; et Merci.

Valedictory Speec;h by Head Prefect

It is customary at this time of year for those of us who are leaving, to look

back and reflect.

Much has happened during our year, the transition from the seventies and into

the eighties has seen change in more ways than one. Probably the greatest change I

have experienced has been one of attitudes. Of the 200 odd pupils who enrolled with me in 1977, nearly a quarter are still

here, and this obviously effects the character of the school. A sign of the time

perhaps.

Over the years I have developed a far greater appreciation for teachers whom I have had, getting to understand their point of view and what they are trying to

achieve, joining the staff in the whole learning process and finally discovering the

value of what they say.

The 100th year of the school was celebrated in fine fashion at Easter, the

First Fifteen won!

Generally though the Old Boys who came from all over the country and the world

for the celebrations seemed to have a really enjoyable time, recalling old memories

and enjoying the finer things in life with old friends. I only hope the 125th is as

good.

The change of Rector this year was another significant phase to go through.

With the announcement that Mr Alabaster was to be rector, there was great enthusiasm

from cricketing circles in anticipation of having one of the greats in New Zealand

cricket at the helm.

In the event, there were no dramatic changes, but there is little doubt that Mr Alabaster's quiet influence is having its mark in a number of ways, and I think I

can say without doubt the best years of the school are ahead.

The saying "you get out of something what you put into it", couldn't be more

true, than with school. Both academically and in a sporting sense. In playing cricket, rugby, soccer, basketball, athletics, being involved in debating and drama, the

student will find he has gained far more out of it than merely the pleasure of

winning or losing.

Those of us who are leaving would like to thank the school for what it has

meant to us.

It's worth staying on until the end, as this final year has been best of all.

And the scrolled piece of paper bears testimony

Can we claim it significant

For the years of work

And joy of friendship

Can a photo, a book or a piece of paper

Make up for the time?

Make up for the memories

And when the last report

Of the last term of the last year

Is read, and commented upon

And when the last period of Maths ends

With the ringing of the bell

That signifies the end

Of a period of a life

That will never return

No matter how much we wish.

Saturday night exploits

Faithfully recorded on Monday mornings.

No longer shared

The joy of winning

And pain of losing

On fields where men are made.

Five years at school

Has meant a closeness to the end

7th Form Field Trip

As in accordance with previous years, 7th Form Geographers and Biologists had a field trip, this time being at Borland Lodge. Visions of leisure, relaxation and sight-seeing overawed the possible work that had to be done. Loaded with food, enthusiasm and miscomprehension, the merry band set out, (accompanied with some fourth formers) completely unaware of their fate. The band's first shock came in the recog­nition of the teachers; disciplinarian·- Mr James; Biologists - Mr Rankin and Mr Huntley; Geologist - Mr Hamill; Geomorphologist - Mr Baldwin; and Physed instructor Mr Woodward. However, after reassuring themselves that the teachers were only there to look after the fourth formers, the chaps were much happier. After trying to lose us in the Clifden Caves, the teachers were seen huddled in close conversation, while the 7th formers, unaware of any plot against them, enjoyed the bus ride.

we arrived at the Lodge and quickly disappeared into huts for four days of rest. However after ten minutes the hated bell rang, awakening many from sleep, and smnmoning us to the dining room. Here we learnt many disturbing facts:- we would actually be expected to clean up and cook meals, "What were the Fourth formers brought for anyway?" and we were to be handed out our work that night,the statement "Look I didn't come here to work, you know" had no effect upon the power corrupted teachers. The 7th formers escaped to their huts to mentally prepare themselves for work (for some the first done all year). That night the dreaded worksheets were received and bewildered Biologists queried "What's a recumbent fold" as did mystified Geographers "Sir what's an ecological niche". Alas the teachers had gone, leaving the stupified students to the perils of knowledge.

The work involved numerous field studies, which included a trip up the Borland road to Borland Saddle, investigating glacial landforms, doing an altidunal zonation study and once on Borland Saddle doing a cross section of vegetation types and measuring the variables involved in the vegetation type.

Once back at lodge we were shocked to see the amount of interpretation to be done and any short cut was quickly dashed by the merciless teachers. We also underwent a rigorous 20 mile walk under the guise of studying landforms in the Waiau Valley. However, despite the incredible workload the boys did enjoy themselves, once or twice. As the deadline for work was shortening, many deemed a full night's work necessary.

At last the day of departure came, overjoyed 7th formers were seen (for the first time) anxious to get back to school "For a good holiday". The voyage home was uneventful. The field trip was overall a success, ignoring the long dusty walk, slipping down tussock slopes, standing in freezing water and the enormous workload. Thanks go to the teachers, who, although found wanting, enjoyed themselves as did the

'pupils. Wayne Baxter

Smac Maths

At forms 3 and 4 level competitions are held in poster design, models, verse, projects and mathematical design. Interest in 'these sections has fallen off over recent years and SBHS won no prizes in 1981. The team competitions continue to create much excitement and this year we did exceptionally well to win both the form 4 and form 5 events. At form 4 level the team of Michael Drayton, Jeffrey Moreton, Jeffrey Thompson and Roy Ward had a convincing win by 30 points. In the form 5 competition the team of Paul Campbell, Shane Hopgood, Darrell Sutton and Darren White had a narrow victory over a team from James Hargest High School.

Congratulations to all winners and competitors; next year it is to be hoped that more boys will enter all sections of the competition and that we can increase our "bounty" of prizes.

Christian Fellowship

A quiet year but a significant one in terms of personal growth of the members and the interested pupils that visited.

It was decided by the organising committee to provide a varied programme which would encourage fellowship and spiritual growth. Wednesday lunchtimes for half an hour were spent in sharing and Bible discussion while Thursday lunchtimes were spent in such things as: Volleyball at the Gym, visiting speakers, discussion, visits to and from other ISCF groups of other schools.

Two of the visiting speakers that challenged our attitudes to 3rd World countries and missions were Bruce Mcconchie of TEAR Fund and Paul Sommerville of Missionary Aviation Fellowship.

Although not organised by ISCF yet sponsored by Scripture Union, the Christian Option Programme, presented by Mr Brighton and Miss Martin was held in the second last week of Term I. The aims: to stimulate thought and present an alternative and Christian perspective on some areas of the curriculum, were large"iy accomplished judging by the lively discussions and questions.

Perhaps the highlight of the year was a barbecue and combined ISCF games night held out at Wyndham on November 6th. ISCF members from most schools in Invercargill as well as Gore and Wyndham competed in a Top Town competition, consumed copious sausages, and communicated their faith in God through testimonies and song. Special thanks to Ken Frost and Paul Campbell for organising andn,,unning it.

We are grateful for the participation of each member arid 'look forward to the challenge next year.

Computing

For most of the year, the computer has been in use from 8.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Most fourth formers should have had hands on experience through their maths classes.

A computer club met Friday lunchtimes, where boys fxchanged ideas, and learnt more advanced programming.

some quite sophisticated programs, written in the BASIC language, have been written by boys of all forms while some boys are dabbling in the harder machine language.

At the end of the second term, the school bought a printer for the computer. This proved a great help in debugging programs, and some third formers were introduced to the computer by writing programs instructing the printer to draw simple pictures.

The computer was used in a few classes as a teaching aid: Physics, Maths and French in particular. As we wrfte and obtain more software, this will develop further.

The New Zealand Aluminium Smelters Ltd Award in Computer Programming was won by Roy W. Ward, 4Al.

Radio Club 2L4CT

The club of just a few members this year, met each Tuesday after school. Working

mainly in the 20 metre band, we made many contacts all over the world; as well as

within New Zealand. Australia, USA, Canada, Yugoslavia, Czechoslavakia, Hungary,

Rumania, and USSR.

During the month before Easter, the club and Old Boys' that are Radio Hams, ran

a competition to commemorate the School's Centenary. Any radio operator making sufficient contracts with Old Boys', boys and the club station, won the Southland Boys' High School Centenary Award. Considerable interest was generated and 37 stations

won the award.

Just recently Michael Drayton 4A, passed the exam for Amateur Radio Operator's

Certificate Grade 3. His call sign is ZIATHZ.

"Secondary Thoughts"

The school newspaper was formed in March 1981 and has published seven issues since then.

Our prime aim was to cover-school events as soon after they happened as possible, and to give the boys of the school a voice so they could contribute ideas and articles.

Since then we have improved printing techniques and increased our staff and office space.

In 1981 we had a staff of 4th and 3rd formers, and we expect that there will be some staff vacancies in 1982.

The paper consists of about eight pages and costs ten cents at the moment. Many people have helped us get established but special mention must go to Miss Boyd and Mr Lawrence for their help and guidance.

In 1982 we hope to continue the newspaper in the same way as last year with a few minor changes to make the paper more open to contributions from the School.

Thank you for your patronage over the past year and remember our motto . .

The Spirit of Adventure

Mr L. J. Fisher, Auckland industrialist, conceived the "Spirit of Adventure" scheme as a chance to give the young people throughout New Zealand an opportunity to experience sailing, the pleasures of the Hauraki Gulf and coastal waters, and the interest of meeting contemporaries from all parts of New Zealand. In handling the ship and her boats and in working aloft on the yards, trainees find their self­confidence and initiative can develop. In living on a messdeck in close quarters with their messmates, thought for the convenience of others comes more readily.

The "Spirit of Adventure" was designed by Mr J. B. Brooke and built by Messrs Voss and Brijs Ltd, Auckland. She was launched on 8 December 1973. Mr Fisher then handed her over free of charge to the Trust Board which administers her.

The "Spirit of Adventure", a 105 foot steel schooner provided me with the greatest experience that anyone could possibly have. I was part of an efficient team of sailors which was made up of a Captain, Engineer, 1st Mate, 2nd Mate, Auxilary Officer, Cook and 25 trainees.

Voyage 186 slipped berth from Marsden Wharf at 16.30 hours under power and sail for Motuike, where we were to anchor for the night. That night we started a series of involved lectures which dealt with aspects of safety abroad "Spirit" and at sea.

The day for all trainees started with a swim at 0615 hours, which was followed by a hot breakfast. After breakfast the "Spirit" was cleaned from top to bottom and the Colours raised. We the� manned our sail stations, weighed the anchor and set sail. Each of the four sail stations were the responsibility of a watch which generally contained six trainees and a Watch Officer.

During the voyage everybody got the opportunity to learn all aspects of sailing and seamanship. Such things included navigation, helmsmanship, weighing and anchoring, ropework, keeping the log and the sails. Throughout the voyage there was an inter­watch competition which involved such things as rowing, knot tying, small yacht racing, a quiz and ten written questions.

Our voyage for the final two days took us to Whangarei where we met the replica of the "Bounty" and we escorted her back to Auckland which was to be one of the highlights of the voyage. All Saturday morning we had boats of all shapes and sizes coming out to meet us and when we finally got into Auckland Harbour we had hundreds of

21

boats all round us. we then set sail for Mayor Island, which is off the Bay of Plenty, but wind conditions did not allow us to do this, so we then had to detour to Great Barrier Island. On the tenth day the trainees took over the "Spirit" and we had to put all previously gained knowledge together to enable us to sail her from the coromandel to Waiheke, which we did with great success.

During the voyage we had two nights of night sailing and this was where each watch had to man the "Spirit" for a three hour period. This was generally good sailing especially when we had a sail change to make. One night our watch had to go up on the yards to raise the course and this was an exhilarating experience.

Finally I would like to thank the school for allowing me to represent them on such an adventure and I highly recommend this voyage to anyone who gets the opportun­ity to apply, whether they are experienced in sailing or not.

Cobham Outward Bound

During the August holidays I was privileged to be selected to attend Course (2'03'1, ·at Lord Cobham' s Outward Bound School, situated at Anakiwa in the Marlborough

Sounds. It was only through the.generosity of the Old Boys' Association that I was able to achieve this.

When I arrived at Anakiwa I was placed in a group with eleven other males. We soon discovered that the only way to achieve anything successfully was to work as a group. And during the twenty-three day course we also learnt that tolerance, discussing our fears, helping each other and the odd smile helped all concerned.

Over the period of the course we were placed in many different and enjoyable situations. These were designed to build up the group into a unit, and to test a person's durability (as you were always under constant mental and physical stress). But these experiences aren't designed to break or defeat you, quite the opposite. They're designed to help a person build up their character and strengths. Outward Bound also teaches you how to confront your fears, not overcoming these completely, but to conquer them and putting these fears aside whilst still respecting the elements.

During the course we undertook kyaking, tromjury, rock climbing, sailing, public service, solo, and many physical fitness courses. The physical fitness holds an important position on the school's agenda. Many of our tasks were foreign to most, but once initial fears were conquered, we came to enjoy these.

The course was one of the most enjoyable and unforgetable experiences I have ever known, and I wish to sincerely thank the members of the Old Boys' Association for presenting me with this chance.

Music Report

The enthusiasm of several performers enabled the Music Department to accept invitations to entertain at community functions and organisations throughout the year.

Centennial Celebrations: A large choir helped lead the singing at the official opening of the Centennial Celebrations. They also enjoyed the experience of making a tape at NZBC Studios for use as a background to interviews prior to the celebrations.

Wales Chamber Music Contest: The Wales Contest at the Museum encouraged the School Choir of 15 boys. Peter McRonald played 1st violin in a composite Southland String Group who won their section at the contest.

Junior Music & Speech Competitions: Results for Junior School Music Competitions were:- Best Singer, Michael Lowry; Best Pianist, Alister Gray; Best Instrumentalist, Ian Logie; Best in Speech Section, Phillip Caffyn.

Visitors: We enjoyed a visit from N.Z. Brass Quintet and Andrea and Robert Oliver gave a recital of Medieval Music to the Senior School.

Hire Service: The Instrumental Hire Service has proved very popular this year, with waiting lists for clarinets and flutes.

The New Piano: A new Yamaha piano has been added to the list of musical equipment. It has been a welcome contribution to the musical life of the school. The staff have enjoyed "playing it in" as much as the students.

Itinerent Teachers: We are grateful to our Itinerent Teachers who week by week help shape the musical abilities of nearly 40 boys. Mr Vincent �spey, Mr Murray Johnston, Miss Margaret Cook and we welcome Mr Alistair Monteath•who has also reformed our band. Mr Monteath is an Old Boy of our school. May we wish you well in your new career.

''Godspell''

Early in the third term the combined efforts of S.B.H.S. and S.G.H.S. music

department presented a most successful production of "Godspell".

Mr and Mrs Ian Scott headed the hard working team which made this a most memorable performance.

The youthful members brought sincerity and enthusiasm which many in the large

audiences found most moving.

Martin Cook led the cast with constant dedication to his role. Notable performan ­

ces were also given by Nickie Haywood, Geofrey Wright and Adrian McDonald. The back

stage crew were more than equal to their important contribution of lighting,and sound­

mixer Stephen Sinclair, Graeme Brash and Clinton Gallie.

Miss L. Boyd was stage manager and Miss M. Black accompanied on piano. Mr D.

Rogers and Mr Scott devised some very effective stage decor.

The hours of work, most times carried out in freezing cold conditions, were all

well worthwhile. Thank you to all concerned.

Social Committee Report

While reflecting on this year's social activities of the school I feel satisfied

with the work that has been put in and the results achieved. The close working

relationship founded with Girls' High proved invaluable; with very few discrepancies

arising all year.

The newly formed social committee launched straight into the "Sports Dance" on

March 12th at Girls' High. overall it was generally disappinting from music angle

with Justice (the band for the night) not living up to expectations.

April the 9th. The first junior dance of the year. The fourth forms really

enjoyed themselves and seemed to grab hold of the idea rather enthusiastically as

various Girls' High PTA members and parents led quite an eventful night breaking up

budding young relationships.

Three weeks later at Boys' High the third form (entertained by "Quazar Disco")

were introduced to their first school dance. Plates were brought by almost 200 people

providing a huge supper for all. As well as a good morning tea. The best dance yet.

With the Ball getting closer the Ice Breaker Dance was held on the 25th June.

Music was supplied by the "4ZA Disco".

A smaller turn-out from the Senior School, but with some very artistic dancing

and highlighted by a 1st XV haka made this dance highly successful. Girls' High, Boys'

High relationships confirmed.

Immediately following the Ice Breaker the yearly upsurge in Ball Room dancing

was helped along by Mr and Mrs Pethig with lessons held in the hall twice weekly.

I thank Mr and Mrs Pethig very much for the time and effort put in during this

time.

After two days of continuous effort the Ball turned out a great success. Held on

30th July this was the highlight of the social year. The Melody Makers provided the

music for the night, and had the reformed senior school moving gracefully around the

hall.

Special thanks must go to Mrs Gumbl.y who provided a "banquet" rather than a

supper, and all the people involved in the organisation and running of the Ball.

With three dances left in the third term the year was finally coming to an end.

Again the third and fourth forms supported these dances well. The last Senior dance

of the year was definitely the best dance of the year and possibly the last five years.

Held at Boys' High,the seniors really got behind this dance.

Although having to overcome some troubles with their PA system "Kanz" provided a

night of good, straight-down-the-line rock music. Almost everyone involved themselves

in the fancy dress theme and prizes were given out late in the evening.

Now that the year is over I feel it has been very successful. Small problems were

easily overcome with the help and co-operation of both prefects and our opposites at Girls' High.

Our thanks must go to Mr Alabaster and Mrs Clarkson for their co-operation, Mr

Bonney for his patience and help when it came to cleaning up, the Girls' High Social

Committee and Prefects for their ideas and help, and finally to the students who came

along and supported us. Good luck for next year.

Social Committee this year was - Chris Wilson, David Beale, Robert McDonald,

Murray Brown, Gregory Pierce, Gregory Buist.

Library Report

1981 has been another successful year for our Library. During the year we

obtained several hundred new books and acquired some new paintings for display.

Notable among the painting additions were two by Graham Brinsley, a pupil who left

during the year.

Once again this year our Library Master, Mr Lauren, and Library Assistant, Mrs

Anderton, have given their all for the smooth running of the Library. The librarian$,

under head librarian, Callum Turrell, have succeeded in producing a consistent effort

which has not only benefited the Library but all who use it.

Our prize possession, a complete 1875 edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica which

was donated by an old boy, was on display for the centenary celebrations at Easter.

Many old boys who attended the celebrations were able to inspect this and also search

out books which had given them enjoyment when they were at school.

1ST XV

Captain: B. A. Welsh Coach: Mr C. Williams

The return of nine caps from last year's team created a foundation for a promising team.

Training started very early in the year to prepare for the Easter Tournament. Throughout the trials and hectic practices, the fitness of all trialists was obvious and it was evident that within SBHS we had many talented rugby players.

The first game of the sdason saw school go down to Pirates by one point. The team's morale was not affected by this loss and we went on .. to win the next 19 games. The competition final was much publicised and Pirates took out the game which was played at Rugby Park as a curtain raiser to the Southland-Canterbury clash. School was beaten by a better team to finish the season runners-up in the Under 20 competition.

Personally I have been proud to have captained this 1st XV and would like to thank Mr Clive Williams for his time and coaching and the moulding of another fine 1st XV. The type of play which Mr Williams advocates could do much to lift the standard of Southland rugby.

Our thanks to Mr Jim Baker for fitness programmes and to our loyal supporters with a very special thank you to Dr Des Prendergast for his attention to on-field injuries.

Congratulations to those players who gained higher representative honours.

27

PEN PORTRAITS

Malcolm Dewe - fullback - A devastating tackler. Stable under the high ball and added

thrust to the backline which he entered at top pace. Kicked

some incredible goals. Deservedly achieved high representa­

tive honours.

Geoff Finnerty - wing

Ricky Panting - wing

Jamie Dewar - wing

Wayne Christie - wing

- Youngest member of the team at 15. Showed potential as a

fast running, try scoring wing. Has a great future.

- A regular stand-in in the three quarters berth. A good turn

of speed. Very hard to bring down.

Called into the team as a replacement, Jamie gave his all

in the games he played and had the distinction of scoring

4 tries in one match.

- A fast wing three quarter. Wayne's ball skills improved

greatly throughout the season.

Paul Prendergast - centre - Tackling was a distinctive aspect of Paul• s play, often

spoiling the opposition's backline movements. A fast mover

with the ball and scored many good tries.

Fili Tago - centre - Yet to fulfil his true capabilities. A very powerful runner

and crash tackler.

David Monteath - 2nd five - David made some fine breaks linking up with the three quarters. A tenacious follower of the ball in attacking

situations, covering and defensive work first rate.

Murray Brown - 1st five - A backline tactician. Dictated many plays with a very

(vice captain) powerful boot. Covering and defensive play was of high

order and ball handling skills were first rate.

Milton Haig - halfback - The vital pivot of the whole team. Quick thinker around the

base of the scrum with his tactical kicking. As a passer of

the ball he had no peer in any of the team's games.

Murray Soper - No. 8 - The most outstanding feature of Murray's play was his

covering and the setting up of second phase ball. A good

goal kicker.

Paul Henderson - flanker - A very strong tackler killing back movements. Speed to

looseball and the setting up of ball were two important

features of his game. A very good lineout jumper. These

qualities deservedly gave him representative honours.

David Beale - flanker - David was light but very quick to looseball creating a good

base for second phase play. A good tackler.

Robert McDonald -flanker- Again a very fast flanker beating his opponents to loose­

ball. Setting up good ruck ball.

Duncan Wait - lock

David Grandeik - lock

Tony Raurnati - prop

- Kingpin in the lineout, Duncan outplayed all opposition and

supplied an endless stream of good ball. A rugged competitor.

- David adapted to the locking berth well. An honest and mobile

toiler. A good tight forward.

- A very strong prop. A hard aggressive player tighthead who

excelled in the tight. A good mauler.

David Henderson - hooker - A very good hooker and extremely fast who baffled referees.

Front of lineout and round the field play were his outstanding

features.

Neil McGrannachan - prop - Had limited chances throughout the season but when he played he showed fire and enthusiasm.

CENTENNIAL QUADRANGULAR TOURNAMENT

Perhaps the highlight of the rugby season was the quadrangular tournament played as part of the SBHS Centennial celebrations at Easter. As well as Timaru and Otago we were delighted to have New Plymouth Boys' High School take part in the tournament. Amongst the spectators, the presence of so many SBHS old boys, many of whom were ex 1st XV players created an atmosphere which inspired the team.

Otago Game - Rugby Park Won 22-3 halftime 4-3

The conditions for our first game against Otago were bitter with frequent hail­storms and a cold wind. The first 20 minutes of the game saw both teams evenly poised but a try in the 23rd minute made the score at halftime 4$3 to school. The second half saw us playing with the wind. School pressure soon began to tell and the 31st minute saw a good try scored. School dominated most facets of the game with plenty of lineout ball and good driving play. The scoring of 2 more tries really topped off the win of 22-3.

Scorers were: Tries to Milton Haig, Murray Brown, Murray Soper, Wayne Christie and Malcolm Dewe 3 conversions.

New Plymouth Boys' High School Won 10-0 halftime 0-0

The ground at Surrey Park was hard and fast. Pleasant conditions for a terrific game of rugby. New Plymouth battled gamely and for a period in the second half looked to be getting the better of Southland. Some splendid pressure takes in the lineouts and one magnificent scrum on its own line lifted the Southland performance and the results were soon evident on the scoreboard 10-0 to Southland.

Scorers were: Try to David Monteath, Murray Soper, 2 penalties.

Results of other tournament games were New Plymouth defeated Timaru 15 to 4 and Otago defeated Timaru 28 to 12.

On behalf of all players who took part in the tournament I would like to thank the Old Boys' Club for their organisation and hosting after the games. The mementoes presented to visiting players and the trophy presented to School are fitting reminders of a great Easter.

INTERSCHOOLS

V Otago Boys' High School Won 16-3 halftime 6-3

Conditions were cool but the ground underfoot was good for running rugby. In the first half the teams were evenly matched with the score 6-3 at halftime. School came back with some fine line movements and forward drives in the second half and were rewarded with 2 tries. Although the tight phases of the game were even, School managed to make the most of the ball it won and deservedly beat OBHS for the second time this year.

Scorers were: Tries to David Beale, Murray Brown and Malcolm Dewe 2 penalties and two conversions.

v Waitaki Boys' High School Won 25-9 halftime 3-6

Conditions were cool but the School ground was in good condition. In the first half we could not capitalise on the ball gained and were 6-3 down at halftime. The second half saw a more unified approach and a complete change of tactics. This resulted in a complete dominance in most aspects of play. The final result a win to School by 25-9 gave great satisfaction after the unlucky loss of 1980.

Scorers were: Tries to Paul Henderson (2), David Monteath (1), Murray Soper, two penalties and two conversions, Malcolm Dewe, one penalty.

29

v Timaru Boys' High School Won 16-13

Schoo·l. played Timaru at Morrison Park in Spring' s warm conditions on a firm ground. The team started off with extreme pressure on the opposition thus dominating all phases of play and two tries were scored in quick succession one of which was converted. However, complacency and a lapse in concentration saw School make mistakes which Timaru capitalised on. The second half was again a hard battle. However two late tri.es seemed to boost morale so as to end the game 16-13 to School.

scorers were: Tries by Murray Brown (1), Geoff Finnerty (1), Paul Prendergast (1), Bruce Welsh (1).

2ND XV RUGBY

Captain: G. W. Drummond Coach: I. M. Baldwin

The team this year had much success coming second in the competition. The team's two strengths were: the ability of the forwards (always smaller than the opposition) to feed good ball to strong-running backs, and the team's discipline on the field.

The team had a high allround level of skills and once built into a team proved formidable with only one loss and a draw out of 20 games. For the first time in ten years, the team had wins over all the other schools' first fifteens (Marist, Cargill, Kingswell, Hargest) playing in the grade.

The highlights this year were the interschools. The games against Otago BHS and Waitaki BHS, of which we won both, were played at school. In the 20-12 defeat of Otago and the 17-0 defeat of Waitaki, school showed great discipline to overcome some well­drilled opposition. Due to the large winning margins put up in recent years by our first fifteen against King's BHS it was decided that the 2nd XV should travel to Dunedin to play them this year. After a tough game the school deservedly came out the winners by 8-3 by simply not allowing King's any opportunities to score.

The team would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Baldwin for his encouragement and the time and effort he put into the side.

The team: Keith Duncan, Bret Hamilton (VC), David McKenzie, Warren Grant, Philip Henderson, Tim Smellie, Rata Smith, Philip Barker, Brian Burgess, Chris McAulay, Jason Brown, LUke Haywood, Lee Murray, Greg Drummond (Capt.), Gregor Weir, Bradley Boult, Mark Tressler, Wayne Baxter.

UNDER 18/B RUGBY

Captain: Piki Brown Coach: Mr D. L. Shields

This team was made up of inexperienced players who with the help of Mr Shields proved to be sturdy opponents. The mobility and size of our forward pack managed to be a major upset to any challenger. Credit is due to Ewen Matheson, Richard Stonehouse and Kim Hall whose abilities at mauling, breaking away and lineout jumping respectively, caused many a look of awe and respect.

The backline had trouble with linking when on the attack but the confidence shown by Mr Shields, and skill of Clive McArthur at 2nd five soon had sharp ball-handlers covering ground.

Sincere thanks to Phillip Henderson and the 2nd XV, T. Hitchcock and also to Greg Pierce.

Captain: Allan Barr Coach: Mr Dixon

Points for - 242 Against - 20 Played 10 Won 8 Drawn 2 This was another fine year for this grade, and the third consecutive year in

which it has won the competition. The team seemed to lift itself for major games mainly through the fine leadership of Captain Allan Barr, and the invaluable coaching from Mr Dixon. An example of this was, the second game against James Hargest after being held to a 0-0 draw in the first game, the team played with determination to beat them 34-0. This game was to determine the competition winner.

The team had sound forwards who gave the backs plenty to work with. Gerald Spain was always dangerous on the wing and bagged 12 tries for the season. John McKenzie was again sound at fullback. Chris Adam and Aaron James linked well in the five-eighths and consistantly received good ball from half-back Hunter Murray. Nathan Sargeant was a fast centre who set up good ball to his wings. In the loose, the team had Todd McLeay, Simon Osborne and Shaun Nicol who set up good ball for the forwards. Peter Giles and Philip Simpson locked together until Giles was injured for the season. The front row of Barr, Shane Grey and Mark Hamilton worked hard all season, Grey took many tight­backs.

All games were played in a fine spirit and the team would like to thank Mr Dixon for his time in coaching.

1ST XI SOCCER

Captain: M. Cook Coach: Mr P. Goodwill

The first eleven had a mixed season this year as far as results go. In the local competition the team played good football consistantly and often received high praise for the degree of skill shown during matches. The worst result of the competition was 6-0 against Enwood, the eventual winners of the competition and a team almost entirely

composed of Old Boys' of the school.

The team's best result of the season was a score of 11-1 against Marist B, a game in which David White saved three direct penalties.

The top scorer of the season was Jeremy Noble with a total of twenty-five goals.

The team played 28 games during the season and was pushed into fifth place in the

competition only because of the problems faced during the holiday periods of May and August. The team had to play games during both these periods and lost valuable points

because of players having to work or go away during the holidays. During the season spectators and competitors praised the team highly, many

remarking that they should try a season in the Senior competition. A suggestion which

is being seriously considered. Out of a squad of 15 there are ten who will still be at

34

school next year and therefore form the basis of the squad in '82. The average age of

the team this year was 15�. With the squad comprised of six Fifth Formers, seven Sixth Formers and only two Seventh Formers, the prospects for next season look very bright.

The attacking power of Jeremy Noble and fast running of Philip Welsh will be missed, but with players like Terry Stuart, Dean Miller and the White Brothers, Philip and

Jeremy, should not be irreplaceable. This season was one in which the basis of a strong squad of footballers was formed and this squad should be capable of at least surviving in Senior Competition in 1982. A grade which would provide the players with valuable

experience to help get better results against our interschool rivals.-Representative honours: Out of this year's squad the following boys played for

Southland. David White, Darren White, Roderick smith, Terry Stuart, Dean Miller at U/16 level. Martyn Cook, Darryl Hawkes, Roderick smith, David White at U/18 level.

No. of games played 28; No. of games won 15; No. of games lost 9; No. of games drawn 3.

INTERSCHOOL RESULTS

v Otago Boys' High School - Score 0-7 10/6/81

A game in which Southland Boys' was beaten by a stronger and far superior team.

We did show that we could play football a couple of times, but these occasions never amounted to anything.

v Linwood High School - Score 3-10 24/6/81

Once again we were outclassed but were able to show more of what we could do than

we did in the previous match.

v King's High School - Score 3-6 (White, Lang, Stuart) 22/7/81

Were able to play football against King's but two controv.ersial decisions by the

referee, both late in the second half and both resulting in goals, let a win slip

through our fingers.

v Timaru Boys' High School - Sco re 6-1 (Welsh 1, Noble 2, Smith (Penalty),

Miller, Cook) 4/8/81

Our one and only chance to show what we could really do and we went on determined

to win well. After a slow start in which a defensive error caused a goal we started to

punish them.

"Southland had full control after 40 minutes and Timaru did not make full use of

the ball in muddy conditions at school park". A quote from the Timaru Herald.

2ND XI SOCCER

Captain: David Neiman Coach: R. Woodward

The second XI soccer team started the season well, after suffering a heavy loss

in the first game due to the fact of having a shortage of players. To cover this shortage we drew up several 1 players from the Under 16 grade.

We finished a creditable 6th in the competition despite the fact that we were often playing against older and more experienced players. A great boost to the team's

morale was when we played Gore High School First XI, at Gore High School, and came

back from being 3 nil down to win 4�3.

I would like to thank the team for their participation and co-operation and I am

sure that they all enjoyed their games as much as I did. On behalf of the team I would

also like to thank those that encouraged us along throughout the season, and especially

our coach Mr Woodward. The team was: David Neiman, Phillip Macdonald, Stephen smith, Gary Ward, David Pay,

Graham Dollman, Simon Humphries, William Gaudin, Duncan McLauchlan, Campbell Savage, Bernard Morris, Phillip Dickie, Grant Cuff, Greg Scobie.

3RD XI SOCCER

Captain: Russell Taylor Coach: Mr Storey

The team did not have a very successful season, winning only three games and

suffering some heavy defeats. However, by the end of the season the team had shown a great improvement in their game. This was shown in the last three games. The team won

two of those games, and lost the third narrowly by 1-0. Although losing most matches, the team showed enjoyment on the fie+d. Top goal scorers were Shayne Hall and Fergus

Welsh. Thanks to Alan Thompson, Bruce Sutherland, Chris Goodwill, Chris Munnings and

Lars Jensen for helping out when team was short.

Thanks also to our coach, Mr Storey, for giving up his time on Saturdays to come and support the team.

The team: Russell Taylor (Capt), Alistair Forsythe, Ralph Gilmour, Shayne Hall, Nicky Haywood, Jens Jensen, Fergus Welsh, Gavin Jacobson, Grant Coburn, Ronald

Bannister, Paul Cook, Graham Brinsley, Donald Simms, David Kellock and Chris Hall.

UNDER 14 "A" SOCCER

Captain: B. Brown

On the whole the team played very well, considering they had only been together before in practice. The team made good progress through the season, mostly being only

by small margins. Towards the end they managed to get an occasional win and draw. Stewart McDonald and Nicky Alterio combined well in the front line. The defence

was helped by the big boot of Paul Lock.

We were coached and supported by Campbell Savage, Roderick Smith and Martyn Cook. The team: B. Brown (Capt), N. Alterio, A. Winder, s. Murray, s. McDonald, s. Ryan,

1ST XI HOCKEY

Captain: B. Herbison Coach: Mr N. Riley

Retaining only a few of last year's members, the team began as a very young team,

but through continual training and effort, it finally proved to be well on a par with other years' teams, as can be seen by the tournament results. Being dropped down to

Senior Reserve this year in the city competition, the team never really realised its

full potential but with continuous team work had some close games.

INTERSCHOOL RECORD

v Otago Boys' High School - won 2 - 1

With both sides having young teams, neither had any real advantage over the other.

With OBHS scoring an early goal, SBHS fought back to equalise the score just before

half time and later went on to force a penalty stroke, resulting in the first win in

five years against OBHS.

39

v King's High School - lost 3 - 1

Played under muddy conditions, King's High played a competent game to beat SBHS who never really "clicked" throughout the game.

v Gore High School - lost 3 - 2

Played in raining conditions SBHS easily dominating the first half with a 2 - 0 lead but lacked the final aggression, Gore scored two late goals to win.

v Waitaki Boys' High School - lost 5 - 0

SBHS played a good game but lacked the well trimmed skill of the Waitaki team. Our defence was the team's strong point.

TOURNAMENT

In the first week of the August vacation the team was involved in a Secondary Schools' Tournament held here in Invercargill. SBHS with their constructive playing forwards and reliable defence, creditably achieved third place, despite the young age and size of the team compared with older and larger teams, as there were eight players from the junior school in the tournament team. This tournament was the high­light of the season, as it was about the first time the team actually looked really good. J. Riley and B. Herbison being selected for the tournament team.

Results were: v Timaru BHS·- lost 4 - 0 (tournament winners) v Kingswell HS - won 2 - 0 v Taieri HS - draw 2 - 2 v Otago BHS - won 2 - O v King's HS - draw 1 - 1

Thanks must go to Mr James for making the tournament possible and also to P. Dempster and R. Harty for being part of the tournament team.

The team this year has only achieved such good results through constant attendance at training sessions. It also found difficulties with numerous combinations. On defence M. De Reeper with G. Jackson, N. Russel and the later addition of C. Brown formed a very capable defence in linking with C. Head and B. Herbison. The forward line was inexperienced but with practice, executed some very fine field goals. R. Lange, R. de Silva, M. Lowry, C. Herbison, w. Frost and J. Riley formed the forwardswith also T. Frampton and B. Casey who participated for part of the year. The skillformed in the team can be seen as almost everyone represented Southland either in the Under 15 or Southland Colts.

As with any team, the coach provides the essential element to success and as such we must thank Mr Riley for his constant support and dedication.

40

2ND XI HOCKEY

captain: Jeffrey Thompson

The team improved on last year's performance considerably. Although the team played very well as a unit the number of wins did not show this. One of the attributes of the team's performance was the coaching from Mr James, another was the indoor hockey which was played through the surraner season. This improved our stick and ball control and because of this some players will prove to be invaluable to the first eleven next year. As a result the standard of hockey in SBHS is very satisfying.

The team: Jeffrey Thompson, Alister Skene, Chad Brown, Peter Dempster, Philip Je'nkins, Darren Richardson, Richard Harty, Peter Ballantyne, James Lines, Michael Lowry, Brett Hopgood, Riki Saunders, Geoffrey Cheyne, Wayne Allan, Adam Jenson, Darren Bootsma, Alister Savage and Keith Wright.

Basketball

1ST V BASKETBALL

Captain: Stephen Sinclair Coach: Mr P. Huntley

With only three new members to the squad, the team was set for the most success­ful season in a number of years.

The first interschool against OBHS, played at Surrey Park, showed a few bursts of sensational play, but not the necessary consistancy to.pull back the score. The game finished in favour of OBHS - 59 - 48.

Being perhaps the last chance to win an interschool, as Krl19''s HS would have the edge on us, our second match was against Waitaki BHS. Played at ·surrey Park, in front of a capacity crowd the team hit form and played some brilliant offensive basketball. Leading 38- - 19 at half time, we were set for an exciting second half. Pushing the lead to 25 points we ran into foul trouble late in the second half and had to be content with a 81 - 70 win.

The final interschool against KHS saw a fine effort from the team in adverse playing conditions to clock up 65 points against the well drilled Dunedin team, final score 93 - 65 to KHS.

The 1st V played in the local men's A grade team, having several wins and at times rattling the more experienced adversaries.

This was our last chance to get to· the· nationai:s and followed' a· hard· training period. We had the advantage of playing in front of a home crowd.

v OBHS - Brilliant playing brought our first win against OBHS for 8 years. Exciting finish in our favour 48 - 46.

v Gore HS - A much needed "easy" game gave us a comfortable 78 - 46 win.

v Logan Park - This game decided i'f we went to the nationals. Plagued by injuries we fought a see-sawing battle to lose by a "referee's" failure to call a shooting-foul - 46 - 47.

v OBHS - With team spirit lacking we entered this match the underdogs to lose 56 - 43.

SOUTHLAND HIGH SCHOOL'S TOURNAMENT

v JHHS - An easy game winning 63 18.

v Kingswell HS - Poor shooting

v Cargill HS - Faced with the final we could not sink the baskets against a fanatical Cargill team to lose 46 - 37.

Six members made the Southland U20 men's team and three made ·the Southland Senior men's team.

41

we must all thank Mr P. Huntley who spent much of his time coaching and training

us for a successful year and also for the assistance of Mr Roger Price for the extra

coaching.

The team was:

s. Sinclair - Captain and main ball carrier. A good shot from outside the key.

c. Wilson - Chris worked hard on attack and defence - and his "safe hands" made him

a valued team member.

G. Pierce - An aggressive player, responding well under pressure. With a good long

shot and rebounding ability, Greg was a useful team member.

R. Jackson - Ross's height made him indispensable for both offensive and defensive

play.

M. Lamb - Plays well all the time, in a steady and reliable fashion.

G. Brash - A solid back up player and reliable team member.

M. Stokes - Michael developed good rebounding skills this year making a valued

defensive player.

M. snegirev - New to the tea m, Meto will be of great value next year.

G. Buist - An outstanding rebounder, and very fast around the court.

A. Humphries- Joined us from Christchurch half way through the season - Andrew is a

reliable team member.

This year we once again played in the Friday Night competition but after our first game, we realised we were in a grade below our standard and consequently won all our games by a large margin. By having two players overage we were disqualified all our points and placed nowhere in the competition, but despite this, we enjoyed all the games and the younger members of the team gained valuable experience.

SENIOR A BASKETBALL TEAM REPORT

Skiing

THE SOUTHLAND DISTRICTS SECONDARY SCHOOL RACES

SOUTHLAND BOYS' "A" TEAM

The races this year were held on Coronet Peak. The date was Sunday 9th of August. Saturday was a nice day and the skiing conditions were patchy in some places but most of the mountain was covered nicely with good packed snow. Towards the end of the day the cloud lowered and you couldn't see more than five metres in front of you. The outlook for Sunday did not look good at all.

It snowed that night and the road was covered with snow and ice, chains were necessary. We had to meet outside the comnonroom at half past nine to get our numbers and to get organised. But unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions, it was cancelled until twelve o'clock. At about half past ten the fog lifted and it looked as if it was going to hold. We were skiing in eight inches of virgin powder snow. We went down at twelve o'clock and were told the race was on the far side of the Rockey Gully T-bar. we skied over and viewed the course, it was a giant slalom and was well set.

There were about ten schools entered all together and the starting order was one person from each school, so we were about ten apart.

The teams consisted of three people, our team was: Tim Frampton, Andrew McCrostie and Mark Wikstrom.

Andrew was the first runner and he went through in about 38 seconds. Tim was about sixth and his time was around 32 seco�ds, I was about tenth runner and my time was 36 seconds.

On our second run the fog came down and you couldn't even see the second gate. The times for this run were as follows, Andrew 39, Tim 37.3 and myself 38.

A lot of people fell over but our team managed not to. The team that came first was Otago Boys' because they had two New Zealand

representatives in their team, second team was Wakatipu High with the South Island champ getting one of the fastest course times. Third was our "A" team. Fourth was our 11B 11 team.

Badminton

Team Captain: A. Too

This year, we had a strong interschool team consisting of: D. Pascal, A. Thompson, L. Murray, J. Tepana, G. Sutherland, D. Marshall and J. Tuckey.

We easily defeated Waitaki Boys' High 8 - 0 at home and beat King's High 5 - 3.Because of injured players, we could not have a strong team to play against other schools in Southland, but we still won the Southland Secondary School Competition.

we went on to Timaru to complete the South-Island competition. In this trip, we had a strong team consisting of A. Thompson, D. Pascal, A. Too, J. Tepana and D. Marshall. During this tournament, A. Thompson took the position as the team captain. We had an easy win against the teams from Otago, Westland, North Otago and South Canterbury. Unfortunately, we lost to Canterbury and lost the chance to play against other North Island teams in the New Zealand finals.

My thanks to all the team members for giving their best in every game, especially A. Thompson for his management during the tournament at Timaru. My thanks also go toMr Dear and Mr Hamill for their management, organisation and support.

1981 was a year of mixed fortunes for the SBHS senior "A" and "B" teams. For the second consecutive year SBHS achieved the debating equivalent of the Grand Slai_n i.e. won all three traditional interschools.

In the Senior "A" team's first outing in the national Jaycee competition we (David Beale, David Monteath, Jeremy Noble speaking in that order) had an easy win

248 - 179 over an inexperienced Aparima College team. Then we travelled to Queenstown where we came up against Wakatipu High School

on the topic that we would rather travel in a buggy than a jet. The team put in an excellent performance but were dealt a savage and cruel blow by. the local adjudicator who gave our Second speaker 2 out of 30 for Constructive Argument and Coverage. We feel that there should have. been another numeral added on to the 2 to make it twenty something. With these extra 18 points we would have had a clear victory but we lost by 9 points. Such is life and we overcame our disappointment to defeat both Waitaki Boys' and Otago Boys'.

We let the Senior "B" team (consisting of Meto Snegirev, Nicholas Haywood and John Gibson) contest the debate with King's High. Against all expectations and to their credit they defeated King's by 24 points.

In the Southland area Jaycee competition the "B" team lost in the first round to St Catherine's College and thus were knocked out of the competition.

The Senior "A" team would like to thank Mr McIntosh for the countless hours he spent working with the teams to ensure a high standard of debating. Appreciation must also be expressed to him for giving us a great opportunity to gain confidence in public speaking. Nobody likes standing in front of a large crowd but debating gives one enough confidence to be able to face a crowd without embamra.ssment.

JUNIOR DEBATING

This year's Junior A Debating team consisted of Antony Deaker, Andrew Robertson and.Michael Drayton. The Competition this year was run on a knock-out basis. In round one, we argued the affirmative side against Cargill A "That Women are more practical than Men". We convincingly defeated Cargill and felt sure we would do well.

Our next debate was against Hargest A, a team we knew were good. We changed the order of speaking, Andrew became leader, Antony became second speaker and I spoke .third. We argued .the negative side "That the legal driving ag� .should be raised to eighteen years".

We all knew that the result would be close but we, all our supporters and some others, were very surprised and angry that Hargest came out with a comfortable win.

we wish to thank Mr Collins for his advice and support. The Junior B team met with a similar fate in the first round where they debated the negative side against Hargest B "That Women are more practical than Men". The B team was Rex Capil first speaker, John Monteath second speaker and Todd McLeay third speaker with Mr Roche as Coach.

Camp Diary Tuesday 27th October

we arrived at the Lodge at twelve forty after a stop at the Limestone Caves. After lunch we put on loads of protective clothing and took extra clothing and

set off under the hot sun for Mr Smith's pond. Upon arrival we performed some survival exercises and did some canoeing. My

group succeeded in making a "wind tunnel" shelter and a very good fire. However, it wasn't very hot and we dared not light it.

That night at the lodge I was kept awake by hooligans and "musical" frogs. My highlight was the caves. I managed to pull a few tendons negotiating large pools of water. Others skilfully fell in.

Wednesday 28th October

Today one half of the class canoed; one walked. It was hot in the canoes, and believe me, hard paddling is a real muscle builder

for the unfit. After we had all set up camp at Rodger's inlet and had a nice tea, we did as we

pleased. Most of us just made revolting cups of tea, and dried our socks. Andrew Robertson's "team" did most of the stirring.

At nine thirty we were told to go to bed. It was wise to sleep with clothes on. Some got ready for bed, but very few actually went to bed. My group went to bed, but there was no chance of any sleep for ages.

By eleven o'clock many were on the prowl, and every tent had been pulled down at least once. A few stirrers were sentenced by Mr Sarson to sleep outside.

By the way, have you ever used a tiny smelly ---- in the middle of the bush with everyone running around like madmen throwing sticks and taking photos of you? You don't get round to doing much!

Thursday 29th October

Today my half of the class returned on foot. For breakfast my group had some tasty steak, but some horrible, thick, lumpy

porridge of which most was deposited under a rock. walking back we soon came to the dreaded stretches of unending bog patches. The

mud was deep and sticky. It was okay if you could walk round it, or stand on logs and roots, but one would eventually lose one's footing or balance and sink into the mud.

After lunch the track improved immensely, but this did not alleviate our being hot and tired.

However we came to a clearing. "I think we're there!" - Nothing. Roy's optimism was most annoying.

Back at the Lodge there was the usual havoc. The more energy conscious sat in cabins reading magazines.

Surprisingly, at bedtime, some still had the energy to make themselves most objectionable. However I cannot recall anything after midnight. Guess why?

Friday 30th October

Today we were all exprcting a slack time. But we were lumbered with the orienteering course.

In the morning we trudged around the countryside in pairs using maps. In the afternoon's expedition, Roy Ward kept indicating when it was time for the

next person to carry the pack. Graeme Ross was our compass man, and Todd McLeay stirred, gave Roy a hard time, and raved about his sex life. Philip was quiet and I carried the pack to save time and arguments.

We lost our bearing and continued through unnerving bush lawyer and bog. We almost had to crawl in the mud to avoid being ripped too badly.

We eventually found a rather good track and followed it back to camp. Just after we got back, a bus-load of girls arrived and assembled on the confidence

course. A few of us played it real cool to the accompaniment of tape recorders. That night some morons held an all-night party. This involved being noisy, playing

51

52

loud music and obscene tape recordings, and throwing cold water at sleeping people.

Two idiots even climbed a pylon at four a.m.

Saturday 31st October

This morning I awoke to the utterances of Michael Tapper's tape recorder. Andrew

Robertson has a really vivid imagination. Before breakfast we did our river crossing which proved to be a good deep

breathing exercise.

I was on dishes - Ugh! However I managed to escape to pack my bags!

When clean-up duties were over, most of the class played touch rugby. Others did nothing. A few were unfortunate enough to find extra chores.

We left at one, having thoroughly enjoyed our camp and become-much fitter.

Cricket

1ST XI CRICKET

Captain: David Beale Coach: Mr R. Boyd

This year's 1st XI had what must be a record season in both the local Senior Reserve Competition and in Interschool games. For the second year running the team won the local competition quite convincingly only losing 1 match. Experience was perhaps one of the team's main attributes with practically the same team returning from last season. In the high pressure situations the team was more able to cope and perform. This year's side had much depth in both the batting and bowling departments and this balance in the side was a main factor in the te-arn's success.

In the interschool matches, for the first time for a long while, School won all three traditional interschool games against St Andrews, Otago BHS and King's. Added to this was the fact that this was the first time ever OBHS have been beaten by us on their home ground, quite a feat in itself. A fourth interschool was played against Shirley BHS and this game was drawn but could have quite easily gone School's way.

Top wicket taker for the season was Gregory Pierce with 68 wickets, a fine effort. Highest batting aggregate was David Beale with 485 runs.

All in all a most successful season and all looks good for the future of SBHS cricket. Special thanks to Mr Boyd for the time given up in looking after the team throughout the season. He �as built up an impressive record in his three years as coach and with the knowledge that he won't be taking the side next season, his successor will have a hard job to match his record.

The team: D. Beale - Captain - A reliable top order batsman who confirmed his potential after

showing the experience of being in the 1st VI for his 4th season. Success of the side can be attributed to his captaining ability. Obviously has a good future in the sport.

B. Welsh - Bruce's batting was again of the highest standing, highlighted byhis two 60's against Shirley BHS. An invaluable member of the team who should go a long way in cricket.

R. Jackson - Always saw the side off to a good start. Ross along with AlanThompson developed into a solid opening partnership.

A. Thompson - A valued member of the side due to his all round ability showsthe potential of achieving some big scores with the bat nextseason. Alan's slow bowling came in very handy and this too shoulddevelop next season.

M. Brown - An all rounder with loads of ability. Murray's ability with bothbat and ball saw the side out of many difficult situations.Fielded brilliantly.

M. Soper - Murray used the new ball well throughout the season always taking vital wickets. Always able to knock the top of the opposition's batting. Never really got going with the bat.

G. Pierce - The side's success story. Grey bowled magnificently all seasontaking 68 wickets. His ability to move the ball both ways off the pitch and in the air was used to great effect. His batting proved invaluable at times, still potential there to score a lot of runs.

J. Noble - A new recruit to the team, Jeremy stepped into the side as a toporder batsmen and did so admirably. His ability to occupy thecrease for long periods was his main forte. Keen in the field.

M. Haig - Milton's natural ability should take him a long way, an attackingbatsman who should score well next season. Occasional wicketkeeperalthough very valuable in the out field.

D. Monteath - The side's wicketkeeper, who did a fine job throughout the season.

P. McDonald

David let his batting slip slightly but this should be rectified next season.

- Another "new boy" Philip will be a valuable member of next year'sside through his all round ability with both bat and ball.

56

s. Jackson

D. Hawkes

- The side's youngest member who with limited opportunitiesperformed well. Has a sound batting technique which will be of value next season.

- Another of the sides new recruits, Darryl's ability to swingthe ball by vast amounts was his main attribute, althoughthroughout the season he had trouble with his line and length.

INTERSCHOOLS

v St Andrew's at SBHS 9-10/12/80 School won the toss and elected to field on a very green track. The decision

paid off as St Andrew's were dismissed for 151, Murray Soper and Murray Brown being chiefly responsible for this. School replied with 193 again with Soper and Brown being the main contributors achieving 53 and 57 respectively.

The second innings saw St Andrew's bundled out for 63 leaving School only 21 to run which was achieved for the loss of 4 wickets.

Scores: St Andrew's 1st innings: 151 - M. Soper 4.52, M. Brown 4.31 2nd innings: 63 - M. Soper 4.35, G. Pierce 3.6 SBHS 1st innings: 193 - M. Soper 53, M. Brown 57, D. Beale 22 2nd innings: 24 for 4 - D. Beale 14

Result: Win to SBHS by 6 wickets

v Otago Boys' High School at Dunedin 17-18/3/81 OBHS won the toss and elected to field. School were quickly dismissed for 117,

M. Brown and Alan Thompson being the only ones to show any resistance. School then took advantage of the bowling track dismissing OBHS for 89. Greg Pierce bowlingbrilliantly taking 8-25 a great performance. School again batted poorly being bundledout for 119, this left Otago 147 win, a seemingly easy task. However once again Greg Pierce took control on the very responsive track this time taking 6 for 53. This wasthe first time School has ever beaten OBHS in Dunedin.

Scores: SBHS 1st innings: 117 A. Thompson 24, M. Brown 29 2nd innings: R. Jackson 23, M. Soper 20 N.O. OBHS 1st innings: 89 G. Pierce 8 for 25 2nd innings: ·132 G. Pierce 6 for 53, M. Brown 3 for 16

Result: Win to SBHS by 15 runs

v Shirley Boys' High School at SBHS 23-24/2/81 School was put into bat on a green track which gave the bowlers plenty of

encouragement. School struggled to 176 before being all out. Bruce Welsh scoring a fine 60. Shirley declared their first innings closed at 176 for 9, Murray Soper taking an amazing 8 for 63, great bowling. School replied with 156, again Bruce Welsh scoring well with 64. This left Shirley 156 to win, a fairly easy task, especially at 106 for 4. However from then on the tables were turned as Shirley were struggling at stumps being 128 for 9, School nearly pulling off the win.

Scores: SBHS 1st innings: 176 R. Jackson 27, B. Welsh 60, G. Pierce 39 2nd innings: 156 A. Thompson 24, B . Welsh 64 Shirley 1st innings: 176 for 9 dee M. Soper 8 for 63 2nd innings: 132 for 9 dee M. Soper 5 for 55, G. Pierce 4 for 42

Result: Draw

v King's High School at SBHS 24-25/3/81 School batted first scoring an impressive 201. It then dismissed King's for 50

with the wickets evenly shared. Following on, King's made 187, a contrast to their first effort. This left School 37 to win which was achieved for the loss of 2 wickets.

Scores: SBHS 1st innings: 201 D. Beale 34, P. McDonald 28, M. Haig 28, s. Jackson, 25 NO, R. Jackson 24 2nd innings: 38 for 2 A. Thompson 12 NO King's 1st innings: 50 M. Soper 4 for 16, G. Pierce 3 for 16 M. Brown 3 for 82nd innings: 187 M. Brown 5 for 21, A. Thompson 2 for 23

Result: Win to·SBHS by 8 wickets.

.2ND XI CRICKET

Coach: Mr Dickson Captain: M. Patton

The team had a moderately successful season, finishing in the middle of the competition. The team had no real stars, with consistency and team effort being its main attributes. Ability was shown with the bat by Jeff Tait, Geoff Rudduck and Michael Patton on several occasions, with good support from Campbell Savage and Richard Dore. Bowling was the team's strength and we were lucky to have two good opening bowlers in

_Michael Hogue and Geoffrey Hinton, who were ably backed up by good bowling from Chris

McAulay and the two left-armers Michael Southby and Brent Haywood. Fielding was strong too, with Brett Hamilton, Ravi de Silva and John Monteath being particularly sharp.

The team would like to thank Mr Dickson and Mr Armstrong for their support throughout the season.

INTERSCHOOL TENNIS TEAM

Captain: Jeffery McAlister

The second interschool fixture against King's High School at Invercargill was a different team than against OBHS, being Jeffery McAlister (Captain) , Luke Heywood, James Anderson, Craig Billows, John McKenzie, David Frost and Grant Ha�ilton (reserve).

The team started strongly with the juniors John McKenzie and David Frost performing extremely well all round. The interschool was played in ideal conditions and good sportsmanship, with the interschool being very close at times.

Luke Heywood and James Anderson played some consistant tennis in the seniors, the final score going in favour of Southland Boys' High School 10 rubbers to 7 rubbers.

OTAGO BOYS' INTERSCHOOL TENNIS

Captain: �effery McAlister

The first interschool fixture for the year was against Otago Boys' High School in Dunedin. otago Boys' is our main adversary with some top Otago players in their team.

Our team included Jeffery McAlister, Kel McBeth, James Anderson, Craig Billows, Grant Hamilton and Luke Heywood. For the first time we included two Juniors, John McKenzie and David Frost in order to give our Junior players experience for the next season.

The team as a whole performed very tenaciously and improved upon our previous loss by only losing 17-4.

Special thanks to Mr Neville Hoskin for providing his time and his expertise for the team.

IN TERSCHOOL ATHLETICS

The School's athletes kept the school's colours to the fore in this centenary year with some solid performances especially in the Under 14 and Junior grades. Two athletes who showed outstanding promise for the future were Alan Bunce in the U/14 middle distance events, and Blair Ward in the Junior sprinting events.

The disappointing feature of this year's athletics season in the School was the apathy displayed by a large section of the senior school and the inability of many to display a desire to achieve the standard of fitness required to succeed in athletics competition.

seniors: c. Goodwill and N. Britton pushed one another throughout the season to their mutual benefit. They gained major individual placings in several events, but the assistance of T. Giller, R.

The highlight of our year was, of course, the Centennial Celebrations held during the Easter weekend. The tremendous preparatory work put into the Centennial by so many was·fully appreciated by the hundreds of Old Boys who attended. Many of whom had travelled hundreds of miles to be with class and team mates of the past.

Experiences were relived, often perhaps more enriched by the reminiscing, friendships rekindled - an atmosphere of comradeship prevailed throughout the weekend, one which will be long remembered.

OUR SPORTING CLUBS: Cricket - The Club enjoyed a moderately successful season with both Senior and Senior Reserve sides ending in the top half of the competition.

With the senior side still in the rebuilding stage its solid nucleus of young players should provide a bright future.

A welcome addition to the Club this year has been the formation of a women's team who played in the Second Grade "B" competition.

Soccer - Five teams were again fielded in the Senior competitions with increasing numbers of junior teams offering a range of football from the serious to the more social kick around.

The first team has completed its second year in the Southern •League competition and while results have not always been in our favour the standard of football has

aefinitely improved.

Squash - This season the club fielded six teams in the Wednesday Inter-club competition. The best effort was recorded in the Mens "C" grade by our No. 1 team being placed third.

Membership has remained steady in spite of reductions of other clubs.

Rugby - The Club was able to field six teams this year which turned out to be one of the most successful for many seasons. The Senior xv finished 5th overall in the local competition and ran out worthy winners of the Section B cup.

The Senior Reserve side showed much improvement to finish 4th. However the highlight of the season was the performance of the U.23 team in winning their competition.

Enthusiasm and club spirit was a credit to players and coaches alike.

We are always happy to welcome new members to our Association and Sporting Clubs. Any Old Boys interested in joining any of the activities should communicate with any member of the Association Executive, or with the Association Secretary, P.O. Box 296, Invercargill.
