School Activities The School Concert The first annual concert was held in the gymnasium on Feb. 28 and 29. An XIB contribution opened the entertainment; the Brentwood Beatles, Charkow, Martin, Reppun and Weinstein banged and shouted with great energy. They were enthusiastically received by an almost hysterical audience, although it must be admitted that many of the screaming girls bore a remarkable resemblance to members of XIB. After this noisy opening, the audience was treated to a fine display by the School Gymnastic Club. Kirby, Berry, Gordon, Howarth, Landale, Moss, McMartin, Williams and Woodward performed with smooth precision. Modern poems were the inspiration for an act by Hamilton, Pott- schmidt and Thorns. The poems were used to satirize the ' beat ' school of poetry, and the stylized movements and rapt contemplation of the lily added to this sly study. This was a clever idea, and it is a pity that the audience missed its subtlety. XC ' s fashion parade was a very amusing effort. The sophisticated music served only to emphasize the grotesque nature of the models — Liz Lamb, Sonny Magnuson, Twinkle Stevenson, Lindy Lovelace, Susie Stewart, Melissa Marlin, Cynthia Clarke and Fiona Fisher. The Stewballs, Peter, Taylor and Woodward sang their folk song with simple charm, and proved it is possible to sing well and to hold an audience without echo chambers, funny haircuts or other gimmicks. Reppun, Sutherland and Weinstein, dressed as small schoolboys, tried to prove that ' Children should be seen but never heard, ' and the Xl ' s showed what really happens when Dr. Kildare gets his hands on a patient. Two other items, which are reviewed elsewhere, completed the program. The Junior Dramatic Society presented the ' Pyramus and 18

Prize tt House In sporting activities (not mentioning the clandestine ones) Privet t won the Senior Rugby and Athletics. Within the house, the attitude and conduct of the boys was generally good. We had a few bad apples who occasionally made things rather sour, but most of the boys lived together very well. Visitors to the school were impressed by the standard of cleanliness and tidiness of the dormitor- ies. Deserving special mention are the boys of rooms one and nine, who set a standard which could not be bettered. A vote of thanks is owed Reppun and Sutherland, who seemed to be on permanent locker and shower room duty. House prefects were Hamilton, Kaye, Lamoureux, Lapp, Lort, Martin B., Morris, and Thorns. They all became very proficient at pressing a buzzer in those always too-early hours! W. Surtees 17
