We started the year with a most successful Prefect Camp at Cape Point, which helped to generate much needed spirit. Many new ideas took shape, one of which was our division into Sub-committees for which Alain Musikanth deserves a special mention for his work regarding the Clubs and Societies Sub-committee. Unfortunately due to our hectic year, only one Prefect Exchange was possible. However, we enjoyed a most successful Interschools Prefect Braai with Simonstown, Fish Hoek and Zwaanswyk. Despite all the 'ups and downs' the prefect body remain- ed united. We would like to thank Mr Gibbon, Mrs Van Vuuren and Mrs Erasmus for their support throughout our term of -office. Our prefectship has been an invaluable experience and a privilege for which we are most grateful and we would like to wish the '89 Prefects the best of luck for next year. Some words of advice from our '88 Prefects ROWLAND: SANDRA: JANE: SEAN: DEBBI: ALAIN: PAUL: CHAD: CRAIG: CANDICE: Be yourself, but remember you are serv- ing your school. Constructive criticism should be your main objective -Do your best and no one could ask for more. Enjoy your prefectship but be fair to gain and keep the pupils' respect at all times. When at first you don't succeed, try again. Consider them and they will consider you. Don't let pupils or teachers get you down with criticism: do what you feel is the right thing to do at the right time and in the right place. Respect the pupils and in turn they will respect you - be fair and keep cool. Good Luck, Take it in your stride and don't let anyone get you down. Be proud of your prefectship - being fairly hard brings you respect. Be fair and don't let anyone get you down.

OLD BOYS REPORT Once again the past pupils sports day, held on Saturday 3rd September, proved to be the highlight of the 1988 season. Ideal weather conditions helped to make the morning buzz with excitement, as the parents, scholars, teachers, friends, pupils, spectators and past pupils con- verged on the high school sports fields from early morn- ing. An innovation was the participation of the Muizenberg Junior School. Their U-13 soccer team trounced the Muizenberg High Std. 6 invitation soccer team 8-0. The school, however, did well to win the netball game, and the Muizenberg High School lst hockey team held the old girls' hockey team to a nil all draw. The experience of the old boys' hockey team proved to be the decisive factor in their 3-2 win against the school's lst team. Rugby, as always, proved to be the game that all had been looking forward to all year. The old crooks game was played with tremendous spirit and camarade- rie as is indicated by the final score of 18-14 to the Old Boys. An interlude of a 10 minute marching display by the new Muizenberg High Drum majorettes in their white busbies and colourful blue and white uniforms provided a carnival atmosphere prior to the main game. The school cadet band kept the beat and the appreciative audience welcomed this new touch to our traditional past pupils' sports day. The main game, however, turn- ed out to be a dour struggle, as both sides tried to make it too much of a personal contest, a deviation from the festival style of rugby usually associated with this an- nual sports day. The heavier Old Boys finally won 22-12. The valiant school team tried to beat them at for- ward play instead of moving the ball to their backs, which by extending and tiring the heavier Old Boys' for- wards might have produced better results. All in all it was an unforgettable day. In the surfing world, Old Boys David Jenkins and Howard Gold again gained the W.P. Colours this year, while Tracy Kirsten made the W.P. U-21 Ladies hockey team and the S.A. B U-21 side - CONGRATULA- TIONS!! An exciting new development fstill in its em- bryonic stagej of an indoor sports complex with squash courts at Muizenberg High School is being investigated. Local residents, past pupils and parents will be notified as soon as the project gains momentum. Once again the Past Pupils' support will be invaluable. Best wishes to the 1988 matrics and school leavers as we welcome them to our ranks from 1989. Gerald Musikanth fCha1'rman M.P.P.
