Fourth Cricket The future of Junior School cricket looks promising if this year ' s team is an indication of the talent that is developing. We won the two games we played and it was evident that a boimtiful sup ply of bowlers and batsmen are emerging. The season was highlighted with superb fielding by Follows and Morris, while Mann, Dawood, Bannister and Morris kept the opponent ' s bats quiet with skilful bowling and batting. FRONT ROW: Row-Lee, Buyshart, Tarbet, Piasecki, Crawford. BACK ROW: Mr. Denison, Lewitt, Graham, Mackay, Home. The Fifth Xi played three matches this term, all against Ridley. We won all three mainly because of our alert fielding. Our catching was particularly im- pressive, with only two catches dropped in the entire season. The outstanding batsmen were imdoubtedly John Easson and Simon Lee who both scored over twenty rims in the first game. When Easson was promoted to the thirds it was James Piasecki who took over the role of run-maker. In Fifth Cricket the final game he played a cap- tain ' s innings scoring a valuable nineteen. Piasecki was also our top bowler. He and Robin Tarbet dismissed most of the Ridley batsmen in all three games, vdth help from reserve bowlers Simon Lee and John Home. Ridley was no match for the all- round ability of our team, although we only beat them by one run in the second game. However, it was not just winning that made this season enjoyable, it was rather the friendly but competitive spirit in which each game we played. Graeme Denison

We were unfortunately not quite as good as we all had hoped. Our batting, in practice was really very effective and en- couraging, but it was a different story altogether during a match. When we needed runs, the wickets fell like rain. An ex- ception to this general rule was the opening duo of Sidford and New, who held up well. Though we certainly had the muscle required for distance batting, we didn ' t have the skill. Our bowling and fielding were our two best areas. Grimm, Freeman, Petersen I, and Thompson were all very capable and showed excellent sport- smanship. Attitude is always crucial and our team did approach each game planning to do their best. David Plank, our Captain, deserves congratuJations for his leader- ship. It was a frustrating season for batsmen but in all the other areas we were generally satisfied. Our two best games were aginst U.C.C. (first match) which played to a draw and S.A.C. wherin Freeman almost signlehandedly destroyed their batsmen in 35 minutes! My thanks to all those on Seconds who gave their best. D. Boyd Second Cricket FRONT ROW; New, Sidford, Plank, Thompson, Ross. King. MIDDLE ROW: Mr. Boyd. Grimm. Guthrie. Freeman, Benson, Martin, Petersen. Third Cricket In term of results, the thirds had a successful season, winning four of their five matches. However in terms of fulfilling their potential, the team fell a long way short. In batting, no one could be reUed on to stay in. McMenemy had one good inning, Moffat and McCulloch played well on occasions, and McNally hit out boldly when runs were needed. However all too often our batsmen ' crashed out ' and struggled hard to make any runs at all. In bowling and fielding we fared a little better. McNally, Archer and Meredith all took wickets, Meredith being the most successful, whilst in the field de Josselin de Jong and Barr held good catches. Bronson and Moffat shared the duties of wicket- keeper and Bronson captained the side very capably. However all things considered, it was a disappointing season. FRONT ROW: McCulloch, McMenemy, Barr, Bronson, Archer, Krane. BACK ROW: Sorokolit, De Josselin de Jong, Moffat, Easson, McNally. Mr. Rudgard.

Gym Display There is always a chance for every boy in the Junior School to take part in the annual gym display. The variety of events taking place has never ceased to keep the audience entertained and interested during the per- formance. The grade four class showred energy and enthusiasm as they divided into teams and raced each other aroujid an obstacle course. Grade five took part in an in- teresting dance and grade six did the traditional parachute routine. The grade seven classes per- formed a gymnastics number featuring tv ro human pyramids at the end of the act. Grade eight displayed their talents and finesse in boxing, while the second eight class required strength and co-ordination when they put on a heaving niunber. The well trained junior gym team added thrilling moments to the show and ended it with a grande finale. David Bowen
