There is a conscientious group of 12 librarians. This group consists mainly of Standard 6 pupils. The librarians are: Candice van de Putte, Melanie Ball, San- dra Jennings, Nicky Hallet, Emmeline Wagner, Michelle Douse, Susan Daniels, Ingrid Diffenthal, Gene Meyer, Terri Hobbs. Juanita van der Merwe and Dylan Rosser are the head librarians. This year all librarians received badges. This year, for the first time in many years, stocktaking was done. Mrs Heyns managed to rope in a few mothers to help with this mammoth task. Without the help of these dedicated mothers there would have been total chaos. The moms completed their tasks in record time - thanks very much moms for your much ap- preciated help. At the third annual Parents meet the Teachers Meeting, many new and much needed books were donated by parents. This contributed greatly to the ongoing expan- sion of our library. There has also been marked increase in the number of pupils and teachers using the library. In closing, I would like to thank the following people: Mrs Rault and Mr van Wyk for their help in unearthing 'lost' and outstanding books, Mrs Heyns and Mrs Lane our teachers-in-charge, for their help and encouragement throughout the year, the librarians for their help.

The people I have come in contact with and the friends I have made, I will never forget. These people have helped me through the hard times and 'jolled' with me through the happy times. My year will never be forgotten by me, nor hopefully by the people who have made this year the'best time of my life. TO ALL THE MATRICS I WISH TO SAY: Whatever you decide to do, remember to make sure it is something you want to do, and enjoy it. Make it fun. How do you define fun? Fun is what you make of it. Some people say needlework is fun, others say running a marathon is fun. My football coach taught me: You have one chance in a lifetime to do something. What you do now, you do once and for all. So reach for it all, guys. Your climb to success has just begun. So go out there and make the best of TODAY but never forget yesterday because if you forget yesterday, you will forget where you have come from and how you got there. Here is a poem that sums up all I have tried to say to you in this letter .... The Summit See not the small trials and vexations of each hour of the day. See the one purpose and plan to which all are leading. If in climbing a mountain you keep your eyes on each stoney or difficult place as you ascend, seeing, only that, how weary and profitless your climb. But if you think of each step as leading to the summit of achievement, from which glories and beauties will open out before you, then your climb will be so different. If any of you are in the vicinity of New Mexico, don't be shy. I'm offering an open door to anyone and everyone who steps into my doorway. Thanks for everything.

A number of aims and functions were envisaged under the Clubs and Society constitution. The committee consists of the chairman! leaders of each club and society at the school, under the chairmanship of two prefects. At the beginning of the year, the school had 12 .clubs and societies. This number was increased to 17, with the formation of the Photographic Society, Debating Society, Interact Club, Jazz Group and the Drummie Squad. The committee also demarcated certain notice boards for the use of sports, administration, as well as for clubs and societies. A timetable, with the meetings of the various activities at the school was also drawn up, so as to prevent clashing of meetings. An orientation booklet was designed in collaboration with the prefect body to aid Std. 6 pupils and new pupils in settling down to a friend- ly atmosphere. Meetings were held on a weekly basis, at which wide- ranging topics were discussed. It is hoped that next year's committee will be just as suc- cessful in the execution of their duties, and the prefects of 1988 wish them the best of luck. Alain Musikanth and Debbi Meyer ..
