22 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE applause, and Graeme Tennant as the ambitious but frustrated gendarrne gave a very pleasing performance also. Sound and Fury , written and produced by Mr. Moodey, appealed strongly to both adult and iuvenile audiences. Teddy Manthorp, Gregor Maxwell and Jonathan Birks did a fine piece of acting as irresistibly mischievous youngsters bent at all costs in preventing a schoolmaster in the extremities of a nervous breakdown from being forced upon their home. Bruce Hamilton as the innocent victim of their plotting filled his role admirably, as did also Murray Whipps and Billy Ballantyne as the mother and father respectively. Stephen Wells brief appearance lust before the final curtain was very effective. The top form's offering was the Invisible Duke, o gothic farce full of delicious satire, which took the audience back to the middle ages when astrology had not lost its grip on the minds of the ignorant and the superstitious. Vincent Prager gave an outstanding perform- ance as Dom Antonio, the crafty, hypocritical astrologer, whose antics and fakery were ably aided and abetted by his clowns, Michael Guite and Michael Bastian, gaily decked out in colourful garb. Ralph Walker as Duke Florenzo gave to the title-role sincerity and realism and that touch of hauteur which the part called for. Roger Thomas, as Captain Alonzo, provided the handsome aide-de-camp, ready at all times to do his devoir for the Duke, but not unsusceptible to the charms of the lady-in-waiting, Julia, effectively played by Rickie Herzer. Donald Steven, as the tempestuous and fickle Lady Emilia, and Timothy Stewart, as the bold and arrogant Count Francesco, audaciously poaching upon his cousin the Dukes preserves of the heart, rounded out a well-balanced cast. As usual, Mrs. Howis and Mrs. Tester performed miracles in their deft handling of the make-up, and Mr. Moodey was in charge of all back-stage arrangements. Others involved behind the scenes were Robert Bruce, manager of the senior play, Robert Johnston, curtain manipulator, and Harry Bloomfield and Georges Hebert, who helped with early rehearsals. Selwyn House Oratorical Society THE Xl CLUB President - Lee Watchorn Vice-President - Tim Stewart Secretary-Treasurer - Michael Gwinnell. 'tWill the secretary please read the minutes - that was how our meetings began. They were usually at a members house, where we were entertained admirably: some- times at school. The programmes of the meetings were many and different: sometimes we had hat- speeches, which were often amusing and well-done, sometimes we debated, on such sub- iects as 'Resolved that the U.S. Formosan policy is right' and 'Resolved that atom tests should be stopped' or 'Resolved that modern children have too much freedom' and 'Resolved that the policeman's lot is not a happy one'. Once we had a closely fought quiz contest, and another time a i'Brains-Trust . During one very amusing meeting, we held a mock trial, in which the accused was happily acquitted. All in all, we enioyed ourselves a great deal, and our thanks are due to Mr. Speirs, who looked after us so well. THE HOUSE DEBATING First Round: Macaulay vs. Lucas- Resolved that modern science is doing more harm than good. Wanstall vs. Speirs-Resolved that modern children have too much freedom. ln the former, Lucas won, and Wanstall won the other.
