The 'Hub' Mistress, S.L. McQueen GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 1988 5 X xx 2 -1 N 'f. x . if f. . 'S H 'irix pn53 I Ex Cv Rfk , ia I S 0 The 1988 team once again surprised .us with their awareness of the world and their interest in local events. This year the specialist section was The French Huguenots. It proved to be a popular -choice andnboth competitiors and spectators acquired add1l10I121l knowledge regarding this topic. Our team who consisted of C. Kipps, N. Th0m21S, M. Romaine, K. Aird and J. Howarth did very well and reached the semi-finals of the Inter-Schools General Knowledge Quiz. May we use this opportunity to thank all who assisted and supported us. Mrs Ann Gibbon .favs-V.3,' -K DRAMA womrsnop 1988 . X W 'vi ' Urli B V This year we've seen the growth of an amazing drama workshop that has been flourishing at Muizenberg Junior School for well over six years. Two of our drama workshop children Ruan de Wittand, and Victoria Myerson were chosen from numerous children to play parts in CAPAB's The Merry Widow at the Nico Malan Opera House. Congratula- tions to both of them. Michal de Witt also auditioned along with other workshop children to act in The Pied Piper Project and reached the finals. Well done! Sally Young has worked with us in the classes all year and has been a wonderful asset. We wish her everything of the best in her forthcoming final Speech and Drama Trinity Col- lege Examinations, London. We were excited to be asked by The Fairest Cape Association to put on a play about our environment. We not only presented it on environment day, but also for a number of shows at the Republic of Hout Bay Festival. It was great fun climbing into the bus along with props, costumes and scenery. Everyone enjoyed the presentation - and so did the actors, especially Courtney Kipps and Phillip Horner who flew in a helicopter with the President of Hout Bay to plant a tree in Hout Bay Village. We look forward to showing you our Drama Workshop kaleidoscope of work that is representative of the type of drama and speech work we have been busy doing all year. Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain has been explored by the Std 4's and 5's and their workshop production promises to be interesting. Cindy Just CHESS 1988 The year began with many enthusiastic Std 2 Chess players as well as our regular Seniors. This indicates a promising future for chess. Christiaan Dednam, Std. 2, made his debut in the A team and had many wins. The Standard 2's played 3 friendlies which they thoroughly enjoyed. We were also proud to host a Mini Chess Tour- nament at our school which was a great success. The A-Team had many victories and all matches were played with much determination and enthusiasm. Marc Nadler PS. The Teams and Chess teachers would like to thank Marc for his hard work and dedication to Chess.

Of course, we also have accomplished musicians as well!! Group music has gone through many stages since our first orchestra was formed in 1982 and other smaller groups like recorder ensembles and the melodian groups have emerged. Shortly after FOUNDERS DAY, it was felt that we should again have a mixed-instrument orchestra because of interest created by the Std IV BOERE-ORKES that came together to perform at that event. We have been meeting on Tuesdays since then and the group is at pre- sent in a developmental stage. We were invited to play two pieces - and an encore - on the Friday of the OPEN DAY programme and were pleased to have our debut at this important event. It is hoped that the members will come back next year and continue to attempt more ambitious works and have lots of fun with music. David E.F. Read fC0nductorj ..,::- - . . I+. - . :-:-:- A .
