In November
A second School COllcert is to be held this yelll*
and will take place on Novembel' 25 and 26, by
kind permission of Miss DOI'is Fitton, at the Independent Theatre.
There are two main objects behind the concert.
First, although so many took part in the July entertainment. there are still many whom it was not
possible to include. They will ha\'e their chance
011 this occasion. Pl ays will be presented by the
Preparatory School. which hm. already established
a high standard. Thel'e will also be "an Oriental
Entertainment" by sixty members of the Octet Club.
The Orchestra also will take part.
The second object is to suppo rt the War l\1emO I'ial Fund. It is considered that this justifies
a slight inc rease ill the price of tickets, which wil!
be 3/· and 4/-. Cert,linly also these pJ"ices are more
in keeping with the tremendous amount of wor k
e ntailed in p'reparation. T ickets will be available
towards the end of October.

Pierre CorneiUe (1606-1684), "Ie pere de 18
tragedie et de la comedic frlw,:aises" first won fume
with his gl'eat play Le Cid, whose hero was the great
Spanish warrior who was given this name, It was
followed by Horace, which dealt wit.h the immortal
combat between the HOl'atii and the Curiatii, champions of the Romans and lhe Sabines; then came
Polyeucte '.lnd Cinna. It is said of Corneille that
he painted larger than life.
The heroes of his
tragedies are lofty souh\ who sacrifice everything
to duty - super-men. in fact. His one comedy, Le
l\1enleur, paved the way for Mo liere,
Jewl Hacine, (1639-1699) is the gl'ealest name
in the history of French tragedy. His playa, like
those of COl'neille, deal with the heroes and heroines
of antiquity, and adhere closely to the rules of
classic tragedy, Le., unity of time, pl:tce :1I1d action.
The dl'amatic method of Racine and Corneille is
poles apart from that of Shakespeare who, to the
French mind, completely lacks method, and appears
something of an outlaw. Racine's tragedies were
Alexandre, Andromaque, Uritannicus, Iphigcnie.
Phl!dre, Athalie and Esther. One comedy only came
from his pen, Les PIllideurs, modelled on the
"Wasps" of Al'i!:ltophanes. It is II witty satil'e on
the legal system in France of his period. Racine
was elected to the Acad~mie Frant;aise. Unlike C01'neilJe he depicted men and women as they re<tlly
are. Still we see the struggle between passion alld
duty, but in Racine's plays passion is stronger than
the call of duty. Racine has II penetrating knowledge of the human heart and the motives that underlie human behaviour.
'I'he perfection of his
literary style is unique. "L'Hal'monie Racinienne"
is a proverbial phrase.
VERSE FORM.-To the English mind, accustomed to the freedom and elasticity of blank verse
in dramatic poetry, Fl'ench classic tragedy often
appears artificial. All the tragedies of COl'neille and
Racine are written in Alexandrine metre, i.e., lines
of 12 syllables in rhymed couplets, with a caesura
(a kind of rest) after the sixth syllable. It is
important to remember that in French verse the
final "e," normally mute, counts as a syllable if
followed by a word beginning with a consonant.
Count the 12 syllables llnd note the caesura in this
line from COI'neilJe:
"Et Ie combat cessa, faute de combattants,"
Jean-Baptiste PoclueJin, known as Moliere (16221673), is the gl'eatest name in the histo l'y of French
comedy, perhaps the greatest in all literature, Wandering player, actor, manager and playwright, he
gave the world a collection of creatl1res of his imagination as real, "i\'id and memorable as did
Charles Dickens. Hal'pagon, the miser, Tartuife, the
hypocrite, Jourdain, the bourgeois-gentilhomme, are
as well known as Scrooge, PecksnifI and Pickwick.
Moliere holds a minor to the life of his own time
(there is no need to go to antiquit.y for characters
of comedy) nnd e.,\':poses to ridicule all the absUl'dities and hypocrisies of society. In Les Femmes
Savantes he satirises the blue-stocking female, in
Le Boureeois Gentilhomme, the newly-rich snob, in
THE CLASS ROOM
PRENCH NO'I'ES (continued from page 108)
THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY
"The Golden Age· of French LiteratlD'e"
French literal'y genius burst into full flower
during this century, all the more brilliantly because
the ground was specially cultivated for its growth.
In 1635 the Academie Fran~aise was founded by the
Cardinal de Richelieu. It consisted then, as it does
today, of 40 Fl'enchlllen of letters who receive a
pension and whose duty it is to work for the greater
glory of French literature. Richelieu and later in
the century, Louis XIV were lovers of great art
and literature and all the great writers of the period were therefol'e held in high esteem by the court
and nobility. Thus it came about that MoliCre who,
like Shakespeare, acted in his own comedies, and
toured the country with his troupe of actors-(he
was the son of a servant in the royal household)enjoyed the esteem of the King and the friendship
and admiration of the great and noble of his day.
This has never been the fortune of writers of humble birth in England. It is largely due to the precedent set by Richelieu alld Louis XIV that men
of letters in France are among the most honoured
members of the community,
THE SHORE WEEKLY RECORD.
Le Malade Imaginaire, the malingerer. There is a
mOI'e savage tone in his treatment of Le Tarluffe
and L'A\'a re. Moliere's pla)'s are written in prose
Or verse, some in a mixture of both. His style is
simple and direct and natural. He loathes artifIciality in literatu l'e and in life.

ON BARRACKING
Lately tenders we]'e called fol' more bal'l'al'kers
by certain gentlemen whose offices are situated in
a rOom in the new building. I decided to fulfil this
ob liglltiOIi the other day and found more amusement
in the bal'l'IIckel's th:1Il the football. This art, if one
may call it an art. uHually appeals to the more
thoughtful perSall, fa]' there is more skill in it than
one at first imagincs.
I wns rather amused by King's ;'w;{r cry" (for
such is the model'll term fa t· the uncanny yell let
out by most individuals). They concentrate all their
emotion in the wOI'd "School!" Whether other placcs
of education hn\'e borrowed this word from them.
or whether they monopolised the word in the fifties,
111m ullcertain, but I 11m told that some othel' teams
also cnlI out "School !" (in earnest, of course) and
the effect is humorous.
Grammar hall the most disconcerting yell ,
G·R·A-M-l\1-A·R·C~R·A. . .. for five minutes or so.
I must agree that this is pe]'hllps one of the best.
because in it there is no ambiguity but plenty of
unison.
Shore used to have nn e\'en better noise, made
by the feet , but the shed couldn't stand the \-ibration.
High has the most faSCinating jabber- a SOI1: of
Maori talk. I took the tl'Ouble recently to obtain
the first few lines but still ca!J't translate them. They
]'un something like this:
Koomati, koomati, kaura, kaura (twice).
Higgidy, Iliggidy, hooplInee, hoopanee, etc .. etc.
If it wasn't said :;0 higgledy-piggledy it might
sound s lighlly better. Nevertheless the knee-bends
required in th(' proceSH must be good football train ing.

Girls - please eX{,'Ul'.l! the olle track mindgirls have a common and lIdmirable way of showing
their emotioll:;-l\ handkerchief and a shriek. 1t
is usua.lly vel')' encouraging- not the bllrrackillg 1
mean.
I admire the person who can met! up and down
the side-line and yell at the top of his \'oice "Kill
him! Kill him r' If the side for which this is intended. is fully aware of it, then the other::! should
be all the more determined not to let themselveR
be killed. Admittedly the intention behind this is
earnest. but one must remember that (Iuite a number of Australian words are strong. This killd of
encouragement is satisfactory till it is put into
practice but it is then fatal- as seen in a recent
international Ru!rby League match where the Austn:dian'~ eannibalism was tru ly elicited - the Australian was forgiven of course.
SUI'ely it is the spirit that counts. not wh a t is
said. 'l'he chap from King's means as much by hil:\
"school" as the the High boy by h i!': "wal'-cr~'." the
girl by her s hriek ilnd the dinkum Aussie b,\' hiS
"Kill'im!" it should be the spirit thal teaches us
to win when we may, and if we may not win, then
above all may we be good losers.
Mr. E\'alt dUl'ing his term as Ministel' (or Education issued a free dictionary to a number of sc hool children in New South Wales. In it the wOl'd "to

EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
This century, which includes the reigns of
Louis XV and Louis XVI, forms a complete conll'llsl
with the cenhll'Y of Louis XIV, The literature of the
17th century addressed itself to the select few; that
of the following century becomes militant and a~'
pires to put into practice the ideas that it expresses,
and seeks to penetmte into all classes of society,
Poetry gradullJly declines dU l'iug the I)eriod, and in
the hands of the great thinkers fine prose beLomes a
powerful wenpon wielded in the cause of fl'eedom.
LE BARON DE MONTESQUIEU published in
1748 his gl'eat work L'Esprit des Lois, which li ke
its great successor, Rousseau 's Contral Social , cnn
be numbered among the few books which have altered the course of history. Though an aris toc rat,
1\fontesquieu ei:lpollsed the cause of freedam 11Ild was
a passionate a<h'ocate of justice for all men of all
classes.
VOLTA IR E. one of th£! very grentest nllmes ill
French literat.ure, Born 1694; died 1778. His \'iolent. attacks on the social abuses of his time earned
him two terms of imprisonment in the Bastille. He
went into exile in England and there learned to
ndmire the English fornl of government. He returned to France to awake the people to a sense
of the injustice that preYldled in FI'un ce, Later
went to Berlin to the COUl't of Frederick the Great.
The last yean~ of his life were spent. on his country
estate of Fel"ll:W neal' Geneva, where he put into
practice his ideas of democracy when dealing with
the tenants Oil his estate and the yillagers, As well
as political writings we have from Voltai l'e 28 tragedies in verse, dealing with heroes of antiquity,
n long epic, the H enriade, dealing with the life and
exp loits of Henri Quatre, severa l histol'ical works
nnd works of litemr), criticism. His was a keen.
mordant wit wielded like a mpier in his attacks on
the Chul'ch, the State, the Law, Nothing kindly
or tolerant about Vo ltaire, Look at the picture, p.
181 'Petit. 1\1il'oi1'," The book by Voltaire thnt you
are most likely to read and enjoy is Candide, II bl'j]linnt satire on the philosophy t.hat "all is for the
best in the best of all possible worlds." All reforms
advo"Cated by Voltaire were achieved 12 or so ~'eal's
lInel' his death by the French Revolution,
JEAN-JA CQUES ROUSSEAU (born 1712, died
]778) shares with Voltllire the sceptre of 18lh
Century literAture, ' Lived a life of po\'erty; was
in hll'n tackey, music teacher and tutOI'. Something
of a vagabond. Whereas Voltaire was a dest.royer,
Rousseau was a builder, Hi s gift was creative. He
h;ul the gift of eloquence and his style is declamatory ..lIld full of paradox. The opening \vol'ds of his
greatest work Le Conlrat Social present a paradox:
"L'homme esl ne libre. et paltout on Ie voit ell
chaines," 1'he pl'inciples expounded ill this worldshattering book were incorporated in the American
Declaration of Independence, a nd the ideals he set
up became the motto of Ihe French Revolution:
123
"Libel"le, tgalit.e, Fratel"nit~ ... " Another famons work
Em ile, contains his theories of education. As well
as his political works Rousseau gives us exquisite
descriptions of nature and the countryside. The
per$onal note ill his work and his feeling for Nature
I'eveal him as the forerunner of the Romantic
Movement.

ORIGINAL COMPOSITION
NORTHBRID GE LAST SA1'UROAY
A bird sat on the flagpole and watched the foolishne$s of humalls below, The s laughter was over
~ll\d blue and white striped hats were shooting up
in the :lil' in all parts of the lmger grand stand. He
watched hundreds swee p down to the gate to catch
one brief look at the heroes. Amid the roar of ft
hundred waterinUs the weary players came off and
the crowd started to fl'amp dully off, theil' minds
still full of the exploits of the wonder men. Like
It huge rivel' Ilt its de lt'l the crowd swept out the
gate with numel'OW5 smaller streams leading to ho les
in the fence. Cars moved off and sudden ly he found
himself a lone with one old man who was removing
the corner post.
As he pecked at an apple core on the gl'oulld
neal' the now silent grand stand he thought. to
himself 'How much easiel' for them it would have
been to come np one at a time during lhe week."
Then being a city·bred bird and conscious of the
lonelinesl! he flew off over the hOllses,

THE ROMANTIC MOVEMENT IN FRENCH
UTERATURE
EARLY 19th CENTURY
We spoke of Rousseau as the forerunner of the
Romantic movement, but the climax was not reach~
ed until 1820--twenty-two years after the appearance of the Uvrical Ballads of Wordswort.h and
Colel'jdge in England. The Romantic writer s, as
opposed to the clas~ic writers of the 17th and 18th
centuries. st r uck :1 note that was h igh ly per sona l
and individual, cast off restl'nints and exposed their
intimate feelings . found inspiration in nature and
the supernatu r al. Their work was the outcome of
imagination rather than intellect.
LE VI COl'tITE DE CHATEA UBHlAND. i nspired
by his travels in America in 1792, wr ote two nove ls ,
At ala and Ren e, idea lising the life of the American
I ndians against a backgl·ound of primeval forests.
Le Genie du Christia nis me and Lea Martyrs, prose
epics were wr itten in defence of Chr:stianity, which
stood in some need of defence after the attacks
made on it by Voltaire and Rousseau and the lead ers
of the Revolution.
T he two greatest poets of this period were
Lamartine and H ugo.
A L PHONS E DE LAMAHTINE (1790-1869) in
the l\otedita tions and Harmonies Poetiques gives us
lyric poems such as "Le Lac" which are as r ich in
imagery, harmon~' and tenderness as Shelley's "Skylark" or Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale." Lamar tine
was a lso a fine historian and published in 1848 his
famous His toire des G irondins.
VlCTOR H UGO (1 802-1885), one of the g iants
of F r ench literature. a writer of <tm:lZing ver satility.
Lyric poet. dramatist, epic poet, novelist.
H ugo
dominated the literary stage in France f or sever al
decades. With H ugo ever ythi ng is on the grand
scale. including his faults. It is a tribute to t h e
powe r s of this great creative genius that the F rench
peop le ;lCclai med and venerated hi m in spite of h is
sins against good taste. mod er ation nnd restra int
-qua li ties on which the French lay g r eat str ess.
It is easy to fin d faults with H ugo---impossible to
de ny h is g r eatness. Some of his creations a r e g r otesque. violently exaggerated-but t h ey are a live.
L y ri c P oetry. H ere Hugo is su p reme and unr iva lled, except perhaps by Lama r tine. Read "Booz
Endormi" (Oxford Book of F rench Verse), and you
w ill never see the new moon without t h inking of
Ruth. drowsy after hel· day 's work in the fields" ...... , et Ruth se demandait.
lmmobi le. ouvrant l'oeil Ii moitie sous ses voiles,
Que l dieu, quel moissonneur de I'eternel ete
Avait, ell s' e n allant, negligemment jete
Cette fauci lle d'or dans Ie champ des etoi les."
H ugo was 11 great lover of chil d ren, and no poet.
except perhllps Fra n cis Thompson. has written of
them more tenderly and with such understanding.
Drams . H e rnani (1830) caused an enol·mous
sensation, but nobody could take this play seriously
10th October, 19 46
today. Hugo here wenl well over the edge of th,
sublime into the ridiculous.
Epic. La Lcgende des Sii~cl es, tracing the upward march of humanity from the d ark ages to
"the liberty and moral beauty of modern times."
Novels. Notre-Da me de P a ris (l831 ),as monumental, memor ::ble, bellutiful as Notre-Dame itself,
and at times as grotesque as some of its ga rgoyles.
Read this some time. Esmeralda, the gipsy girl,
accused of witch -craft and sentenced to death, seeks
sanctuary in Notr e Dame. Quasimodo. hunchback
bell-ringer guards her and dumbly Wor ships her.
The w icked Archdeacon lures her out and betrays
her to her accusers. Quasi modo sees the Ar chdeacon g loating over the sight of her dang li ng on a
gibbet, and pushes the v illain over the t opmost
parapet. It takes fou r pages of wr it.ing to descri be
t he fa ll to t he square below.
Reme mber the uncanny description of p hysical sensations of terror and hor ror in the story of
the man a nd the octopus (Nouveaux Contes et
Recits)? H ugo again. Towering in the foreground
of t h is highly melodramatic ad ion is t he ageless
cathedral-nobly and memorably d epicted.
Les l'ttisecables, written more than 20 years
later, is a humanitarian novel d ealing with the upward moral development of the ex-convict Jean
Valjeall. Ch aracters as a li ve and real as those of
Dickens are tll(' sainUy bishop B iem·enu, the su ·eel
urchin, Gavroche. the girl. Cosette. the sleuth,
Javert.
Other writers of the Romlmtic period are:George Sand, a woman of magnetic personali ty
and a fine n ovel ist inspired the finest works of Frederick Ch op in and the poet Alfred de Mus set. both
of whom loved her. Fou r lovely lyriCS. Les NuilS,
come fro m t h is poet; also some delightfu l plays,
such as }~anta s jo .
ALEXANDRE DUMAS P €R ~he most widely
r ea d of all French n ove li sts for whom "histor y was
a nai l on wh ich to hook th e pictures of his ferti le
imagination ." Les Trois l'ttousquetaires, Le Comte
d e Monte·Chris to. etc .. etc. Read them a nd enjoy.
MISS K. B. LOW
Aiter a very long term of ser vice to the School,
Miss K. B. Low, Matron of Robson House. left on
Satu r day last, and sai ls for Scot land to h elp look
after one of h e r shters, who is very ill.
Known not only to boarders of Ro bson House,
but to many day boys wh o went to her for min istr ation of t h eir occasional ai lments. l\1iss Low was a
familiar figul·e at t he School fo r 24 yea rs, an d a ll
regret that she found it incumbent upon h er to relinquish the position she had held for so long, and
in which she had done so much for the School and
Robson House.
We wish her a p leasant trip, and hope that in
due course we sh~\ll see her again.

We lost the lo~s :lgailll~t Kings ;lIId had to bat
on II soft wi{'ket, from whkh the bowlet's were able
to obtain It good I!eal of lift for the first hour.
During that period we lo!O.t (OUI" VlIlulible w!ckets

stl'Okes to show h il'! clIpabi lities and runs were cominK all th~ Lime. Bennett and Field pulled things
round with :l good pUl'tn ersh ip but arte t' Bennett.

this WIIS !!o, The lunch intel'\'l1l helped fUI'the!' lind
in th e end our total !'eHched 182. Cred it is due
to Wt:SI, Siroud, and Davey fOI" their competent
and commonsense baltinJ:.
Stendy bowling. bac'ked up by some brilliant
catches was responsible for dismiSSing Kings for
63 in their first innings. Following on the~- lost
th'e wickets fur 8 ju.st over fOI·ly.
The form shown by OU!' lean} wus pleasing.
The bntsmell fought well out of a bad po!!it ion; the

SCHOOL CONCERT IN NOVEMBER
A second School Concerl is to be held thi); yem
and will take place on November 25 and 26, by kind
permission of Miss Doris Fitton, at the Independent
Theatre.
There are two main objects behind the concert.
First. although so many took part in the July enter~
tainment, there are still many whom it was not
possible to include. They will have their chance on
this occasion. Plays will be presented by the Preparatory School, which has already established a
high standard. There will also be "an Oriental
Entertainment" by sixty members of the Octet Club.
The Orchestra also will take part.
The second object is to support the War Memorial Fund. It is considered that this justifies a
slight increase in the price of tickets, which will
be 3/- and 4/-. Certainly also these prices are morp
in keeping with the tremendous amount of work
entailed in preparation. Tickets are now available.
Term ilL, Week 7
END OF TERM III, 1946
Leaving- Cerlificate.- The examination is to
commence 011 Tuesday. 12th November.

in the normal way after the end of afternoon school
on Wednesday, 6th November. They may be required by masters for specific purposes; if so, the)r

exemption is made in order that boYS may h/we
greater freedom to prepare foJ' the examination.
Hoarders are to be Ilt work in their houses 0 1' in
clasSI'ooms at all times when school is in. and will
attend Chapel as usual. During the examination they

permiss ion, obtained in advance of the absence. It
is a condition of the l\wlIl'd of the Leaving Cerii·
ficate that the H eadmaster shall certify that the
candidate's conduct has been satisfactory. This cert ificate applies to the whole of the School year,

permission befOl'ehand f!'Om their Form Mastel'. they
will also lIot be expected to attend School in the
afterlloon of any day on which they have had an
externa l examination in the morning. At all othelUrnes classes will go 011 as usual, and boys will
therefore maintain nOl'm:l1 School attendance to the
end of the term.
As in the case of Leaving candidates, there must
be no absences. other than those approved as above.
The same kind of certificate appl ies and depends
upon conduct and regula!' attendance fOI' the whole
year. When given freedom to work, boardel's mu!!t
be at work in the houses or in classrooms.
General.- The Cadet COI'J)S camp is from Wednesday, 4th December to Tuesday. 10th Oec(>mber

12th December.

SCHOOL DlTTY
ORCHESTRA CONCERT
A pleasant evening of music was given by the
School Ol'chestm at its third conce r t in the Dining
H HII Oil FridllY, October 25th. Mrs. G. Faunce
Allman conducted. More than 60 boys from third
forms sang items with the o rchest ra, and !Several
senior boys and masters sl~ng Elgar's "Sea Pictures."
The main orchestml items wer e the ';Shepherd
King" Ove rtuJ'e (Mozar t), the Ove r ture to "The
Merry Wives of Windsor" (Nico lai). thc "Watel'
Music" (Hande l) . alld the " London Every Da~'"
suite (Eric Coates). In each of these thel'e was
much eXpl'essive playing, good tellm \\'oJ'k and alert
respons iveness to changillg moods and feeling. At.
times, especia lly in the ;' Watel' Music," it wa~ difTlcu lt to believe that the players were not <til trained
\'eteI'Ulls. The mallY traps of the Nicolai Ove rture
were skilfully negotiated.
One of the most thoroughly musical pe l'fol'mances of the evening wall B. T. She:u'man'!-l pluying
of
two movements
fr om
Lalo's "~ymphonie
Espagnole." His tone was splendid: his point of
view prom ises well for the futUre. K. G. Barnes
and C. L. Spicer played II Viva ldi Sonatl\ pel'suush'eIy, and A. L . Walker's tone in Ii H,lIldel flute Sonata
was small but sweet. A trumpet duet arrangement
of Liszt's "Liebestraum." completely I'endel'ed by J.
Aldis and J. B. Kay, was much appreciated. There
were some mo\'ing passages in the Elgar songs, the
best of wh ich was perha ps "Sabbath Morn at Sea."
The singi n g of the th ird form boys was fresh and
spontaneous.

THE SHORE WEEKLY
CRICKET RESULTS
1st XI ,'. S.G.S.
The game on Saturday saw Sydney Gramma}'
School making the IUI'gest score any team has made
against our lst Xl fOI" <l number of years. We
fielded all dllY, and at the end had only eight
Grammar batsmen out for 310. Of all the teams we
have met this year Grammar seemed far the strongest in batting. Ollr bowling and fielding were ,ll";
good as they have been in other games, but lIg'lIinst
GI'3mm31"S batting they were ineffective. Any luck
there was in the day 's play was quite a8 much Olil'
way as theirs. On the d:.ly the batting side was
just toO good.
Yet there was a good deal to be pleased with
in the performance of OUI' side. Only two boundar·
ies that might l)oSisbly have been stopped were
lIBowed to go through <111 dar, one e,Il'ly ill the
game. one neal' the end. Both were ver~' hard shots.
Dozens of others t}wt looked like going through
were cut off. The ground was rather hard and
unen:n, not easy fOl" fieldsmen; but every man
wl~tlhed the ball well. and when in difficulties backed up his hands with some part of his body. A few
severe bunlps were taken, but the work was well
ctll"l'ied out right to the end of a vel'y tiring day. It
WliS a pleasu}'e to all our supporters to see eyel'Y
man stilJ doing his best lind moving quickly, !'ight
to the dose of play. To run out the fil'st three
batsmen WliS a fitting I'ewal'd fOI' the team's efforts
in the field. If /lny stood out above the others in
fielding perhaps the two Shands. Edwards and Love
deserve mention. A lot of the cI'edit, of course,
must go to Bennett, whose example and encouragement meant much to his team.
Although unsucceRsful, the bowlers did theil'
job as well as ther cou ld. All the year we have
been afraid that something like Saturday's result
might happen. We sadly IlIck an accumte slow
leg·bl'eak bowler, and OUI' fast bowle l's ~U'e not ~'el
<Iuite good enough. J. Shand did not get a wicket,
but he bowled one spell of fourteen overs that had
only 26 runs scored off them. Love started poorly
but JlIter bowled conSistently. West, used for the
first time in 11 match, did very well. ~lone of the
bowlers was severely punished. That they stuck
to theil' task is f;hown by the fact that the rate of
scoring I'emained slow all da)', although there were
some long partnerships against us.
We failed in our job. which was to get the othel'
side out for a model'l.lte total, but the failure was
due to merit in our opponents cricket rather than
to lIny slackness 01' Jack of effort on the part of our
team. We had emphasised for liS what we all'eady
knew. thllt we need more skill and subtlety in our
bowling.

We wish to thank 1\[1'. Robertson and Kodak's

which Mr. Robertson took of athletic training at

were the broad jump. high jump. shot putl, and the

by futUl'e :Ithletes, They llhlO provide an intereflting
record of school llcti\"ities, a practice which might.
well be ~xtended,
A meeting of the c lub was held on FI'ida~', 18th
October, at which t.olling was discussed, in particular
sepia t.oning or tinting brown. The main object. of
this type of toning is to bl'ing out the subject.
As
a I'ule. only portion of the whole picture is tint.ed,
the unt.Ollched dark pSlt pro\' iding a contrast with
the lighter brown colour, A softer effect may be
"btained by using gold tinting instead of sepia.
Different types of exposures were dealt with at
last. Friday's meeting, and ways of improving underexposed and ovel'-exposed negath'es were mentioned.
This was dOlle as a prelude to another visit to the
Kodak laboratories, FOI' the gl'ellter part of the
meeting, I)ractical work in the fOl'm of photographing
different sites on the school grounds was cal"l'ied out.
This WfiS done by the boys, who followed the advice
of MI', Robertson so as to gain the best lighting effect

In particular, seenes

On the following Saturday morning a party of
boys made their second visit. to the Kodak model
darkroom. Here !l-h. Robertson gave practical demOllstrations of his talk on Friday afternoon on how
to treat bad ly exposed negatives, Good prints wel'e
obtained from both under and over exposed negatives b~' printing the fOl'mer all hllrd 01' contrasting

THE LIBRARY
It has been suggested that the Library Committee should publish in the "Record" names of
books added to the Library as they become avai lable.
Unfortunately demand is so heavy and supplies of
new books still so difficult to obtain that, as books
are placed on the shelves, they are borrowed almost
immed iately, generally within 24 hours. Any list
publi shed ther ef ore would raise fa lse hopes and
not be a guarantee of immediate availabi lity. Howevel', if there is a demand for such :l. list, it can
be published. What do you think about it? Either
wdte to the "Record" or make a suggestion to the
Librarian, prefer~bly in writing and with your name
and form .
Suggestions are always welcome about all matters in connection with books, periodicals, etc. Again
there is no guarantee that a book will be available
but . if there is thought to be a demand. e" ery e ffort
will be made to get it.
II wou ld be a good plan 11 you have any Ideas
about better services that the Library could give,
to make a suggestion now so that it can be put
into operation next year. We hope, for instance,
to be able to start. next year II system whereby a boy
can put ill a request for informalion on a given topic.
and be supplied with the necessary books and "eferences in 24 hours. Have you any more ideas?
It is evident that interest in the Library and
the intelligent use of it is inc,·easing. Unfortunately
the limitations of the buil ding put a limit to the
number of those who can use it at one time, a nd
a great. dell I of patience and fOI·bea.-anee is neees!Sury so thut all may have II reasonable chance of
using its resources. Good manners and cons ideration of others arc very necessary, particularly in
keeping s il ence w ithin the building and walking
as quietly 3S possible. When there are so many
people in the room that more would make it uncomfortable to "ead, the Librarian closes the door
unlil room is awd lable. Disturbance or truculence
lit the entrance on such occasions is a breach of
discipline as well as good manners and will be
tI'eated as such, but it is to be expected that a
reasonable standard of behaviour should make such
drastic steps unnecesS:lry. Facilities for quietness
and reading can be supplied only with the co-operation of those who use the Library.

CADET CORPS
On Tuesday, 5th November, the Ceremonial Pa·
rade planned for that day, was du ly held. LieutGeneral T. H. Berryman, C.B.E ., D.S.O ., G.O.C.
Eastern Command inspected the Corps and took th e
salute. The G.O.C. was accompanied by his Adjutant Capt. Webb, and by the S.O.S.C. Majol' J. R.
O'Sullivan.
About 40 parents and fl'icnds of cade-ts and
muny mastel'S and boys saw the parade.
Their
presence was a great help to all concerned and
added colour to the scene.
When the ceremonial was over the G.O.C, presented certificates to the N.C.O.·s who qualified for
commissions last September.
He then addt'essed

of di3cipline and abilitv to lead to the school and
afterwards to the com~unity.
The Ceremonial Parade took the form of :1»
inspection in line; a march PU!\t by platoons in l ine,
and an advance in review order. The Saluting Base
and Passing Line were on the west side of the
ground, the inspection line being 011 the east. The
Corps ill line extended over almost all of the east
side and made an imposing spectacle. Our band

The band mustered 8 side drums, 1 bass drum and
2 trumpets. It was posted behind the Coq)S in line
but led the l\J.'lrch P<lst up to the Saluting Base
then wheeled into a posit.ion fOI· playing the platoons

After the G.O.C. had addressed the Corps we
broke off to a training parade dllring which the

join in Term If. Recruits will be registered for
membership at any time after Nov. 22. A notice instructing them how to proceed with cnrolment wi ll
be found upon the notice board.
The uniform is provided free by the Govern·
ment: cadets will be aslced to purchase khaki shirt
and tie and pugnree, but there is no other financial
obligation. A note about the history of the School
Corps apPc:l.l·s on next page. The Corps has for nearly forty years been regarded as one of the School's
major activities and as a source of pride.
It is specially to be desired that there should
be 11 large enrolment now th!!.t the war is over. At
such times there may easily be a slackening of public interest ill defellce Ilnd thus 11 lapse in the sense
of public duty" We regard it as a duty on the part
of the Schoo l to set an example in this respect and
are moat anxious that the undoubted ly high service
which the ShOI'e Cadet CO I'PS has given to the na·
tion in the past should be continued without any
di nlinution ill the future.
ISO
THE S.C.E.G.S. CADET CORPS
HISTORICAL
I n April, 1908. a lettel' was sent. to parents of
boys at the School, informing them that a Cadet
Corps was being founded as part of a G.P.S. Battalion of SeniOr Cadets. By June 1908. 100 enlistments
had been made. and the Company fo r med had been
gazetted as "0" Coy., 3 Bn. of S.C. By October
1908. a nother company, "K" Coy., hnd been added
and II Guard of Honour to Admiral Sir Ha rry Rawson, Governor of N.S.W.o had paraded .
The two Shore companies participated ill a review at the time of the visit of the American Fleet.
A lso a Battalion Parade was held at Newington College. The Corps took pa r t in the King's Birthday
Review at. Centenn ial Park. on 7th Nov. 1908. and in
a Bn. camp 8.t Yarra Bay, commencing on 14 Nov. 08.
Th e first O.C. of t he Corps was Major J. L.
Pulling. He handed o,'er to Major J . R. O. Hal·ris
Ht. the end of 1918. In May, 1929, Major Han·is
moved to another State, and the present O.C. /lSsumed command .
When the Corps was founded in 1908 a hst
badge. collar b:ldges, and ~rested buttons were adopted. These were abandoned during the currency
of universal training, but were once more brought
into use when the system of voluntary serv ice was
again introduced.
The unifol·m adopted in 1908 was of khaki and
green; khaki hat and corded breeches: green t.unic,
puttees and pugaree; boots, black. Badges of I·ank,
buttons and badges were of silver. During universal training all cadets wore the issue pattern uniform. fn 1930 voluntary service was re-introduced ,
and distinctive uniforms were once more allowed.
We changed to khaki and blue; khaki hat, tunic and
slacks, with tan shoes. The uniform was faced with
blue, there being a blue collar, cuffs, shoulder
strap and I" trouser str ipes. The pugaree was
blue with white stripe and the shoulder straps also
had a white stripe down their centl·es. At a latel·
date officer type tunics were adopted. the only blue
upon them being shoulder straps. The white stripe
on these and on the pugarees was replaced by a narrow ship of the School Colours, blue and white diagonal stripes. Buttons and badges of rank were of
the 1908 paitern, but were gilt. N.C.O.'s stripes
were blue to match the facings.
The material used was in the first instance
khaki cotton cord. Later this was replaced by
khaki woollen material.
During the war the manufacture of cadet uni·
[onus by private firms was prohibited. However,
boys who had left school, and their parents, saw
that a steady stream of garments no longer required
by them, flowed into our store. We were able to
maintain supplies of OU I· own uniform up to 1945.
when the free issue of A.M.F. clothing was introduced.
At the present time Shore Cadets wear the issue
uniform, being distinctive only in the blue and white
pugaree and black badges on hat and collar of the
original pattern.
21 st Novemb er. 1946
The maximum strength of the Corps under Uni·
vel·sal Training was in excess of 420. From 1930
to 1940 strength was usually between 200 and 300,
but numbers fell to 175 during the years of depres·
sion. Since 1941 strength has been maintained l\t
weU over SOO, the maximum being 360 attained last
year.

-The Book of Exodus makes it c lear that Jehovah
is the God not only of the Hebrews, but that H e r ules
over the land of Egypt, and H e is the Cl'eatol' and
LOl'd of N:\tul'e. But God has chosen Israel to be

THE SUMMER CONCERT
The success of t.he concert in the second term suggested the holding of another lllter in the year. On
November 25th and l!6th the Orchestra, the Octet
Club and the Preparatory School entertained appreciative audiC'nces at the Independent Theatre.
The J)rogranune opened with selections from "Del'
HosencllVaJier," And "carmen," played by the Orchestra, Payne followed on the piano with a Chopin
Waltz in C, Sharp Majol', and a Turkish Rondo by
Mozart,
The curtain then rose on "Packing UP." a farce
producPd by M.1', Bl"ierley. ill which Mason, Harpur
and Hall developed the humours of the domestic ja.'s
inherent in the last moments of holiday preparations,
Under Mr, MOllckton's baton, with Endicott as accompanist, the Octet. Club then presented an "Oriental
Ente l'tuinment." The etory which had distant. affiliations with the "Arabhm Nights" had been devised by
Benjamin and Meikle, who produced and took part in
the performance, a vehicle of melodious solos, vigorous choruses, and spectacular (!ostume, The highlights of the pel'formance were Mr. Gilfillan's processional entr y on his precarious palanquin and l\Ialing's
ill imitably val"iegated expressions of terror when
threatened by death by ten thousands cuts,
After the irJ.terval Barnes ;'Played oornpetently
"Carina" by Alfred Hill, as a violin solo, and Endicott
at the piano gave us "Ga ....otte Brillante," by Alfred
Hill.
Most of the second part was taken up by "Dotheboys Hall" based on incidents from "Nicholas Nickleby," Blanks (Squeers). Knight ( Mrs. Squeers) and
Bennet (Smike) and the more prominent of the pupils acted vigorously and with something of the grotesqueness of the traditional Dickens illustration,
Nicholas Nickleby's ( gall ) nssault on Squeers brought
down the curtain,
Credit is due to Mrs. Allman, 1\-11-. Moncklon, Mr.
Brierley. and Mr. Chambers and a host who gave
their energies to costume and make-up,

These beautiful Jincs from Longfellow'S "Evnngeline," always bring to mind the memor? of a lovely
secluded littlt· valley. situnted no further from the
busy heart of Sydney ihan suburbs such as Slrathfield
or Hornsby. Unfortunately I cnn only have memories of the valley at its best, a8 a military road W:1!1
constructed through it during the war. and since then
this has become a public highway. Although, becaus~
of thi~, thl' settlement has lost much of its natural
beaut)' llnd quietness. fortunately <lome still remains.
At the further end of the valley olle can even noll' find
a secluded and rural atmosphere. undreamed of so

and dust and noise of holiday-mnkers alld motor cars.
Before this highway was built, only a faded and

unobtrusive sign-post, pointing IlIong all equnlly unobtrusive !lide road. served to tell the world that such a
place as "Oxford Falls" existed. It would need an ob·
servant person to notice the little sign as they drove
down to the beach lhl'ough French's Forest, and countlesS numbers of people must have passed that way
without doin'f so. I. myself, pa~sed the Sign many
times without Seeing it. However, at last it did at·
tract mv alti'ntion. and from thnt day we always look{.d for t~he Oxford Falls sign on our weekly excursions
to t.he surf.
The quite unknown and somewhat mysterious
';Oxford Falls." pointed out by the faded sign-post,
attmcted my imagination, and for a long time l wondel'cd what one would find the I'e if one car rd to look.
I "cared to look," and one day-a Christmas Day. I
lhink- J visited Oxford Falls with the fumily for the
fin~t time.
After a journey of perhaps a mile along a rather
bumpy road we came to some habitation, in the form
of two poultry f:lI'ms and an old ramshacklf' house.
empty and overgrown. The trees in the yard still bore
fruit, and inside the house everything had been left
as when the owner departed. The mouldrd renlains of
11 half-finished meal were still on the table, but it was
obvious nobody had entel'ed the house for mouths.
What was the story behind thll! hurried departul'P?
On rounding :1 corner in the I'oad we saw stretched
before us a beautiful little farming setlJement. There
wa., a wooden foot-bridge across a stret\m and a ford
through which our car had to pass. On our right was
a flat pxpanse of rock over which the water from the
stream flowed before it hurtled down the falls into
the lttream below. and then flowed on until lost in the
trees. Belond the bridgl' on our left was a perfectly
cllim little pool. a contrast to the rushing water of the
falls. Green grass grew right to the water's edge and
weeping-willows hung over the stream, shading it
from the SUIl. WI' could clearly see the sandy bottom
of the pool. scattered with a few pebbles, through the
still water. The pool appeal'ed to get deeper further
away from us. The only ruffle on the otherwise still
water was made by some insects, and a brown duckling, which disappe:1red nt our approach.
Leaving the pool we walked on up the road-a
typical country road, overhung by gum trees and
bounded on eith('r side by blackberry bushes-past,
ploughed fields, orchards, green pastures, !;ome COWl;
and pigs, and more poultry farms, but not a single
human being. In fact the only humans we snw thnt
day (r have seen othel's since) were a man at the
door of his houst' (In the other side of the stream, and
another ~roup of picnickers like ourselves.

before us like a painting. After lunch we picked blackbariC3-they werl' e..-erywher...'--and talked about Ox·

such a beautiful, secluded, and rural spot could remain

In the last three years Oxford Falls has changed
considerably. Not only does the new road pass within fifty yards of the falls, but not a half a mile along
thf' old road a huge crushing plant has been built and
ugly quarries have appeared. also, the valley has suffered fI'om drought, and the water fall has almost
ceased to exist. Nevertheless the little pool is still
there, and the f.lrms and rural atmosphere Oil the
other side of the creek remain comparatively untouched.

COCK HOUSE
The final points have now been added to the
House totals and the Cock House Cup for 1946 has
been won by Barry House with 875 points, with
Robson HOuse 682, Hodges House 602 and School
House 564 points coming in that order.
SWIMMING
An enjoyable triangular swim with Knox and SL
Alioysius w!:.s swum at the Knox Pool Oil Saturday
last. The management of the I'aces was very efficient, and fortunately the weather remained fint>.
The short pool demonstr ated clearly the main
fault. of our swimmers-namely theil' turns. It was
common to see OUI' competitors catch up during a lap,
and lose on the llu'n. It might be suggested that all
those concerned should try to remedy this defect by
next term.
It was evident all through the carnival that condition was hlcking ill all, three teams. This was parliculal'ly noticeable in the diving, wh(>re most of our
competitors were doing their first dive for the season.
They are to be congratulated on their performances.
At lhe conclusion of the c3l'1lival. it wns made
clear to all those present, that there had been no
official point score kept. This was to make the meeting more of a friendly swim thun a competitive match.
SUMMER CONCERT,
We have to thank our hosts for a very enjoyable
afternoon's swimming. and we extend our congratulations to the winn(>ts of the various events.

Marlin stepped under the shower still wearing his
dressing gown.
Why?
BecalJse the gown weighed
