Mr. Stevens, familiar to generations of Alleyn's boys as Head Porter,
retired in July. He came to Alleyn's in 1935 after previous service with the

OBITUARY
MR. P. W. COOKE
Old Boys everywhere will be sorry to learn of the death of Mr. P. W.
Cooke which occurred on May 20th at the age of 86.
Mr: Cooke joined the staff of Alleyn's in the autumn of ~903 and he
remained with us until his retirement in 1939. Although m the early
years he taught some Latin and German, his main subject was Fren~h,
and his chief interests France and the French language, and he was twice
decorated by the French Government for his work. His particular metI:0d
of teaching and his practice of covering blackboard after blackbo~rd With
his perfect handwriting will be remembered by many, Others Will .recall
more readily Continental trips organised by Mr. Cooke. He himself
attended for some years holiday courses at the university of Besan~on. A
keen Tutor in Brading's House he helped many boys to do. the~r first
strokes in the swimming bath and all made their regular contributions to
the "hospital box" under his eagle eye. He was a good violinist and was
leader of the school orchestra.
During his long stay here he made a great contribution not only to
the Modern Language Department but also to the corporate life of the
school. The fact that he was always known as "Percy" to masters and
boys alike is evidence of the very friendly regard in which he was held
by all.

Mr. Waters joined the staff as Handcraft master in 1935 and has
been teaching part-time since and finally he retired in July. During the
war he was evacuated to Walmer with the Lower School and moved with
them to Rossa11 where they were finally re-united with the Upper School.
There Mr. and Mrs. Waters were in charge of the boarding Houses and
throughout the whole period at Rossall he played a great part in keeping
. alive the traditions of Alleyn's under difficult conditions.
Mr. Waters was a master of his subject and an excellent teacher of
woodwork. Thousands of boys will remember with affection his kindly and
understanding attitude and his unfailing sympathy tinged with humour
for those whose aptitude was academic rather than practical. Before the
war, when woodwork was taught to the Lower School only, he held a
special class in out-of-school hours for boys who were particularly interested,
and with these he achieved a very high standard of work indeed, and many
will be grateful to him for providing them with a leisure occupation for
the rest of their lives, and indeed for their careers, since 'many are now
hand craft masters in schools all over the country.
After the war Mr. Waters expanded the woodwork department to
include the Upper School, and all who have visited his Founder's Day
Exhibitions will be 'aware of the fine standard of work achieved. Himself
. a craftsman with an excellent eye for design he had the gift of bringing
the .best out of his pupils, lmd imparting to them a knowledge of the
importance of relating desirability of shape to practicality of construction.
. Mr. Waters always took the keenest interest in all school activities,
,especially the games, as he was himself a fine athlete. A very popular
member of the Common Room he will be remembered for his quite unassuming manner, his never failing willingness to help others, practical
help of which all members of the staff have availed themselves at one time
·q r. another, but perhaps most of all for his sense of humour' and his
•. infectious laugh.
, / We wish him and Mrs. Waters a long and happy retirement near

MR.
J. G. ADAMS
Mr. Adams joined the Modern Languages staff in 1959. He was the
first master to teach Russian at Alleyn's, and carried responsibility for a
new Russian course for members of the Maths and Science Sixth. He was
a keen linguist and an interested teacher. He also taught French 'a t almost
all levels of the school. He was as successful outside the classroom as he
was within. He was in charge of school football and his vigorous coaching
will long be remembered. He leaves us to devote himself to his private
language establishment at Herne Hill. We are sure he will be a frequent
visitor to the school and we wish him every success in his enterprising
venture.
MR. C. J. A. CURTIS
Chris Curtis came to Alleyn's straight from Cambridge in September,
1959, and in his five years with us he has given the school fine service.
The Classical Department is indebted to his accurate scholarship and
shrewd judgment, the History Department (or rather the Senior History
Master) will miss his skill as a mountaineer and the Common Room as a
whole his companionship as a man.
He has given plenty of help outside the classroom, being in charge
of school boxing and one of the cricket teams, and latterly he has supervised and organised the Third Form Activities each Friday. He has also
made several camping trips with parties to Northumberland.
He leaves us to go to Nottingham High School and takes with him
our best wishes for his future success and happiness.
MR.
J. J.
WALSH
Mr.. Walsh from Peralta Junior College, Oakland, California, has
spent a year with us teaching Mathematics, exchanging posts with Mr.
. Abbott, and in this short time he made such an impression upon us that
we are very sorry indeed to see him leave us. He impressed us by his quiet
humour, his equally quiet and friendly efficiency, and above all by the
openness of his mind. His interest in boys and education went very deep
and his keen questioning forced us to re-appraise much of what we are
attempting to do in this school. He was widely read, a good conversationalist, and a man capable of enthusiasm. He will be missed and we wish
. him and his family every happiness and assure them of a warm welcome
, whenever they return to this country.
MR. P. A. BADMIN
. Mr. Badmin was no stranger to Alleyn's and the excellent service he
rendered the school during his year with us came as no surprise to a school
which remembered his outstanding success as an athlete when he was here
as a His
boy.thorough knowledge of his job-he was in charge of Physical
Education-coupled with his friendly personality could not fail to produce
the best from his boys. His achievements with athletics with the Lower
School were remarkable both in the standard attained and the smooth
efficiency of its organisation. He helped with the U.14 Cricket team
'which had a very successful season, with Lower School Soccer and with
swimming. His classroom standards were no less exacting. He leaves us
for a post' in the North and we wish him every success and happiness

In fencing the House easily maintained its long-held s~premacy. thanks
especially to the work of L. G. Godfrey, the
captam, and
N. D. Ratcliffe who has taken over as House fencmg captam.
The enthusiasm for tennis was encouraging this term but as yet the
results are modest. The senior cricket XI lost its semi-final match by 1 run
to Dutton's who then proceeded to annihilate Brading's in the final and
so we can' count ourselves somewhat unfortunate. The most outstanding
individual sporting performance of any boy in the sch?ol this summer y.ras
achieved by A. P. L. Williams ·in the 1st XI cricket match agamst
Emmanuel when he scored the first century the 1st XI has enjoyed for
13 years and we congratulate him on this.
P. Yarranton achieved the distinction of becoming a School Prefect
this term while J. Laskowski became a House Prefect. There were compartively few leavers this year and we wish the.m luck in. their future
careers. Especially we would congratulate L. K. Llddell on hIs entrance to
King's College, London, and J. H. Barnes on gaining a place at Southamp-

House Captain: R. J. Evans-Jones
Having tied in the senior cricket cup final last year, we hoped for. a
win this year, but our hopes were dashed when both junior and senIOr
teams were knocked out in the first round. R. Dunley and Hope regularly
represented the House in the school 1st XI and R . J. Evans-Jones played
in the 2nd XI. J. Dunley, Cotton, Waller, J . Miller and P. Evans-Jones
played
for junior
school XIs.
Under
the captaincy
of G. W. W. Barker the swimming team came
within one point of being second in the swimming sports. Flawn, P . Hill,
T . E. Browne and P. Evans-J ones gained most of our points.
Our tennis team was knocked out in the first round of the tennis
competition. Hope and Cotton represented the House in school athletics.
Muller, Crock and M. Kingham took part in the production of
" Bard."
We congratulate Barker, our new House Captain, on being appointed
as School Prefect, and Chandler, Palmcr and Hope on their appointment
as House
Prefects.
Finally
we say goodbye to our le avers. They include House Prefects
Allan, Fox, Chandler and Palmer, and our House Captain R. J. EvansJones. We thank them for all their support and wish them every success

Brown's before meeting Brading's, who had defeated us in 1963, in the
final. However, the House gained its revenge in an excellent nine wickets
victory, to win the cricket cup for the second time in four seasons. Fine
catching and ground fielding were largely responsible for our unexpected
success. The junior eleven were defeated in the first round by a fine
Spurgeon's side, after bowling the opposition out for a low score. L. E .

Mr. G. R . Charnley
At the end of the Trinity Term Spurgeon's can look back with great
satisfaction over yet another very successful year. We have excell~d not
only in team events, as is noW expected of Spurgeon's,. but ~lso m the
individual achievements of our members. In school athletIcs this term the
House was strongly represented, several members doing exceptionally well.
The following must be congratulated on their various awards: M. J.
Vance, R. A. Small, Greatrex and Winter-half colours; Swann-quarter
colours
and Lawrence-junior
crest. were not finished, but in the m.atches
Unfortunately
the cricket leagues
played we had done very well. The seniors were unlucky to lose m the
first round of the cup to the eventual winners. The juniors, ~owev.er,
played very well to win their cup and to reach the final of the s1X-a-slde
knock-out competition, which was also not completed. We must congratul~te
R. A. Small, School Cricket Captain, on being awarded the Stewart P.!lze
and C. C. Smith on sharing the Junior Club prize. Under the captamcy
of G. E. Clements the House did not do quite as well as last year, finishing
fourth in the Chess League. Under the able leadership of N. Chapman the
House finished second in the swimming sports. Our high position was due
largely to the performances of our captain, who broke three school records
in winning
three events.
We congratulate
P. J. Godfrey and A. L. Clarke on their appointments as School Prefects. Unfortunately we have several leavers this term
who have been very active in the House, they include four prefects-I. B.
Smith, our House Captain for the first half of the school year, R. A. Small,
M. J. Vance and A. Frith. We thank them for all they have done for the
House and wish them every success in the future.

There were some disappointments in our cricket results this term.
After beating Cribb's in a low-scoring match through superior fielding and
bowling the senior cup team was defeated in the semi-finals by Brading's.
The juniors were beaten in the second round by Spurgeon's after being
given a walk over by Brown's. In school cricket the House was represented
by Forsyth and Howell in the first eleven, G. D. Smith and Mitchell in
the second eleven, and Ritchie and Roberts who also played for school
teams.
The House had greater success in the inter-House shooting competition
which we won, thanks to the leadership of A. Mead, School Shooting
Captain, who we congratulate on being awarded full colours. We also
succeeded in winning the House tennis competition. In the swimming
sports the House came fifth-an improvement on last year due to the
effort~ of Taylor and Couchman, both of whom !Ire to be ~ongratulated

harmful. The Direct Grant School had no class barriers. Admission was
-o pen to all who had the ability. Whatever we did, he continued, it was
surely in the national interest to pre~erve the idea that some children of ability
should have an opportunity of developing in a field of sharper competition,
particularly when the schools they attended were fully accessible to all.
Our very existence, he said, might well depend on the strategy we employed
in the use of qua li ty--not quality based on class or money but on intellect.
At the forefront of this strategy, the Headmaster suggested, stood the Direct
Grant SchooL
REPORT OF ADDRESS GIVEN BY SIR JOHN FULTON
Recalling the words of the charter granted in 1961 that "there shall
for ever be in the county of Sussex a University," Sir J ohn expressed his
appreciation as Head of such a young institution at being invited to such a
venerable institution as Alleyn's. He was, he said, pleased to be speaking in
the presence of two men, both Headmasters, who believed in education as a
way of making the future.
Sir John stressed the need for closer co-operation between schools and
universities, if boys leaving school were to get the right university courses for
them. Our present Sixth formers would be running the country in the year
2,000 and while one could not foresee conditions at the end of this century,
there was no doubt that the time ahead would be one of great and challenging
change, in which the qualities of flexibility and adaptability would be needed.
These our universities and schools must develop and train.
A university course offered three exacting years, with great intellectual
difficulties to be faced. Students must be ready to accept this, and aim to
become masters in some chosen field of enquiry.
There were three things which universities should offer and which the
student should acquire. Firstly, the university must present its studies in
perspective. No matter what subject a student read, an insight must be
gained into the nature of scholarship at its highest leveL We needed a
perspective, a time-scale against wh ich to set the preoccupations of the
present. Unless this country had a high enough percentage of trained scholars
devoted to what is long-term and fundamental we would not remain a
civilised power. The university must offer an insight into the nature and
swing of history as a protection against hysteria, irrationality, bias, hatred
and intolerance. The university should reveal the real that explains the
appearance. All this the student must seize upon and make his own.
Secondly, the university was a place for hard work. At school even the
Sixth-former found himself looked after, organised and time-tabled, with
his work very largely prescribed. At the university no one would seek to
shelter the student, who must learn to do the work no one will make him do.
He must learn to propel himself into work. The experience of finding out
what it is like to be moved from inside, as opposed to from without, was an
enriching experience, one which it would be harder to learn in later life.
Those who had learnt this self-mastery as free agents while at university had
been successful in all the big things that matter profoundly to a man or
woman.
Thirdly, the student would, at university, find himself in contact with a
more varied society than iq his school, more international in nature and of a
hig~ le,vel i.ntellec~ually. -The tuto~ial system, while keeping the undergraduate
actIve m hIS studies, had other th10gS to offer. It produced a special kind of
relationship between young people and the preceding generation. It held out
a proJ?ise of preventing the gulf bet,ween gen~rations. In this dialogue, this
c;lu~ l 1Ot~rchan!:le, the values by WhICh onc; lIvc;s c<?uld be weished a~ainsf

LffiRARY
Master : Dr. E. L. Giles
Senior Librarian: R. Celia
The exhibitions and projects displayed in the Library on Founder's
Day, 1964, were very well attended. It was inevitable that the quatercentenary
o~ Shake~p~are's birth .should be the chi~f inspirll;tio~, especially since the
highly ongmal production of the Bear PIt had hlghltghted this significant
event. I suppose that Shakespeare is the subject of as many books as
Napoleon is reputed to be, and 1964 has accordingly seen a spate of new
publications together with the re-issue of many standard works on both
sides of the Atlantic. The Library was able to put on show a fair selection
from such books, ranging from contemporary assessments to such twentieth
century critics as Granville Barker, L . C. Knight, Leslie Hotson, Ivor Brown
and Caroline Spurgeon. But the focal point of Shakespeariana was the
exhibition of "The Bard," the score, model and plans of the apron stage
the masks, theatrical designs, sketches and photographs, a photographi~
re~ord of rehearsals and performances, and newspaper cuttings, etc. As
eVidence of the researches of McCarthy and Lewis for this production there
were various early editions of Shakespeare and records of 18th and 19th
century actors like Macready and Kean. This section concluded with a
reminder by Mr. Walsh of the interest in Shakespeare sha red by the United
States in the form of photographs of productions of his plays in a replica of
an Elizabethan theatre in the Oregon countryside.

winning entry. Some well-arranged photographic records of school journeys
to the continent followed. And finally the exhibits of the Natural History
Society. Here were photographic records of various expeditions, including
one to Scotland; na tural history records for over twelve years of Dulwich
Woods; various diaries, including Mr. Young's, which extend over ten years
of recordings. On show were various official pamphlets and on sale was that
most enterprising of publ ications, "The Wag-Tail." For this J. G . Cranfield
and his associates deserve commendation.
Outstanding among new books added to the Library this year are the
biography of John Keats by Aileen Ward which has been acclaimed by
scholars and critics-since these notes the B.B.C. has arranged a discussion
of her researches between the author and Robert Gittings-the first complete
edition of John Clare's" The Shepherd's Calendar," " Journey into Ru ssia"
by Colonel Lam'ens van der Post, and Francis Chichester's exciting autobiography. There is a fair assortment of the numerous books of popular
science. Several additions have been made to the Sports and Pastimes section
under the terms of the Richardson Bequest; also to the Music and Art
divisions. In the new term several titles will be added to the Modern
Languages shelves, in particular titles from the works of contemporary
writers. We should start the Advent Term with the Library completely
re-classified. This has made tremendous demands on the time and enthusiasm
of the library staff.

TI-IE BEAR PIT
President : Mr. J. Logan
Secretary: S. H . McCarthy
Treasurer: P. D. Lewis
If you talk of "Bard" as being a shot in the dark you are much
mistaken. It was a conscious attempt by the company at rounding off two
years of experimental theatre-a period of adjustment, from rags to riches.
The success of these two years will no doubt be superseded by the work of
Budden and Rudkin, who follow McCarthy and Lewis as Secretary and
Treasurer respectively.
A year ago " East Lynne" played to slender but enthusiastic audiences.
This term, "Bard," with more or less the same company, dropped the
proscenium and gained intimacy through" complete theatre." Both productions were a success. They both created a new form of "popular theatre."
The company (one of the most gregarious I have come across) has achieved
something that Copeau and Vilar might have been jealous of-a popular
theatre designed to accommodate a varying taste. Whether the audiences
understood the performance or not, the response from them was warm and
sympa thet ic. This was not because it was a ready-made audience. The
meagre returns for "East Lynne," and the apathy and cold curiosity that
greeted "Bard," indicated that an audience had to be " found" in the true
sense of the word. The all-too-generous assistance of Mrs. McKenzie
provided advance publicity of excellent quality.
When mentioning Vilar, one ought to mention the state subsidised
theatre. The Bear Pit has gone one better and turned from deficit to profits
exceeding £100 in the two-year period. Clearly, the theatre can be made to
pay for itself, as it should do, without strangling its artistic outlay.
Two talks on the B.B.C. proved that the Society was not only interested,
but devoted to the theatre. It was a body of scholars who were not to be
daunted or discouraged by anyone. Hard work was the only formula.
Although "Bard" was staged in three weeks, it took months of planning,
consultation, selection, and scores of models, drawings, letters and plans.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY
Last Summer Term we marked our activities with a second production of
our magazine "Wagtail." Scarcely a week-end has passed without some
members of the Society visiting All Hallows near Gravesend, or Stadmarsh
near Canterbury, or Leith Hill. The first official visit of the term to
Holmbury was rewarded with a splendid view of crossbills. Later in the
term bitterns and bearded tits were seen elsewhere, not to mention a tOpsecret species. Besides the literary efforts and expeditions during the term, in
the holidays activity has gone further afield. Spurn Head observatory
sometimes resembles a school camp, and all four species of skia were
observed there while the President was spying on eagles at Cape Wrath,
and two other members scored a vulture in Yugoslavia.
Early in the Advent Term we were delighted to be able to repeat our
visit to Dengie Manor to enjoy the overwhelming hospitality of Mr. and
Mrs. Farrow. Two masters and fourteen boys spent from Friday till Sunday
evening exploring the Essex Marshes in pursuit of birds, butterflies, bees,
lizards. A full account of this waits for the next number, but in the meantime we must express our gratitude for an entertainment which was quite
fabulous . The tour of the beef, dairy and grain farms, the films in the
evenings, and the successful observation of 77 species of bird were among
the many memories we shall retain from this visit.

MUSIC NOTES
Secretary: R. R ichardson
Director of Music: Mr. F. H. Kennard
One of the most entertaining Founder's Day concerts of recent years
opened with a selection of eleven pieces from the "Water Music" suite by
Handel. The popularity of this proved no inhibition to the members of the
orchestra, who continued their programme with Purcell's Sonata for Trumpet
and Strings. The soloist, M. S. Hunt, handled this convolute work with
confidence and skill. The" Introduction and Allegro Appasionato, Op. 92,"
by Schumann followed a brief interval; in this the soloist was M. A. Sasy.
This, again a well-known work, was given a particularly animated performance. The last work, the "Little Suite for Orchestra, No. 2," by Malcolm
Arnold, was specially written for school orchestras. Although some might
have found the lush passages reminiscent of film themes and Latin America
they must have been entertained and the piece was repeated by an orchestra
as enthusiastic as the audience.

The Founder's Day Concert is the climax of our music year and a
report of this, written by Paul D. Lewis, appears above. Our Chamber
Music Concert was held on Saturday, May 30th, in the Music Room. As
is our custom, the concert was opened by the string section, who played
the "Polnisches Konbert" by Telemann; this was followed by an amusing
modem piece for trumpet and piano, played by M. S. Hunt and Mr.
Kennard. Next came a very competent performance by the Reed brothers of
Haydn's "Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano." A wind quartet playing
the delightful "Four Nocturnes" of Haydn ended the first half of the
concert. After the interval the string section gave a balanced and accurate
performance of the " Concerto Grosso No. 1" by Corelli. Then C. Steward
played 11 "Fant!lsie" for fI\lte and piano by Faure ",itA hh usual polisheQ

The highlight of the Trinity Term for the Society was its visit to the
Tilrnanstone Colliery in the East Kent coalfield under the leadership of
Mr. P. C . Phillips and Mr. C. R. Higgs. The party of fifteen found the
most interesting section of the tour was the visit to the coal face itself.
The Society also had a most interesting tour of the Metropolitan Water
Board's Works at Stoke Newington.
The committee thanks Mr. P . C. Phillips for his unlimited support of
the Society during the school year. Our thanks must also be extended to
Mr. C. R. Higgs, who found time, in spite of his many commitments, to
assist the Society.
MODEL RAILWAY SOCIETY
President: Mr. D. W. Johnson
Secretary: P. Ebling
Chairman: D. V. Sharman
Last term was industriously spent by members of the Society in
rebuilding completely the already substantial layout in preparation for
Founder's Day, when our total exhibition was generally more ambitious than
the last. It included, amongst other items, extensive photographic records
of the Society's recent expeditions.
A party went to the renowned Bluebell Line on a rain-swept but
interesting day in June. A trip, of a predominantly exploratory nature,
investigated the Longmoor Military (R.E .) Railway. A worthwhile excursion,
this will take its place as a regular fixture in the Society's calendar. Several
fortunate members were grateful to receive complimentary tickets enabling
them to visit the Model Railway Hobby Show in August.
Two committee members leave this term, our Chairman, D. C. Sharman,
and L. A. Farrow, both instrumental in setting the Society firmly on its feet.
With them go our gratitude for their hard work and our best wishes for
them in their future careers.

Efforts during the Summer Term culminated with the Founder's Day
exhibition, which was seen by a large number of visitors, who queued to
gain entrance.
The Society is now one year old. There are twenty members, and the
equipment includes eighteen tanks for tropical fish and a vivarium for
terrapins and frogs. In fact, much has been accomplished in this time.
Future policy must be directed towards placing the Society upon a
sound financial basis. Members will be encouraged to breed fish, which are
certain to find a ready market.
The Society welcomes new members and any offers of tanks or
equipment.

Two years ago we had a side which scored many runs, but which failed
to get its opponents out; we had a very poor season. This year we have
bowled our opponents out quite well, but the batting has repeatedly let us
down, and all too often the bowlers have had too few runs to bowl at. We
have again not had too successful a season, winning three matches, including

School, Selhurst Grammar School, Gravesend Grammar School, Blackheath
Harriers, King's College Hospital Medical School and Dulwich College.
In spite of the team's general strength, records were broken on only four
occasions in the sUll1p1er term. Against Haberdashers' and Latymer on
May 13th, Alien equalled the 10.00 yards record of 10.2 secs. and Richardson
broke the mile record in a time of 4 mins. 33.8 secs. Later, on June 3rd,
in the Blackheath quadrangular at Ladywell, Richardson improved the mile
record to 4 mins. 26.5 secs. and Swann set up a new class two 880 yards
record of 2 mins. 6.6 secs.
Greatrex competed in the Surrey Championships on May 30th at
Motspur Park and won the Youths' 440 yards in 51.3 secs. Later he came
second in the Southern Counties 440 yards. During the season Greatrex ran
three A.A.A. invitation youths' half miles: in Battersea Park on June 8th he
was ind in' 1 min. 59.4 secs.; at the White City on June 19th he was 2nd in
1 min. 58 secs., and at Crystal Palace on August 5th he was 4th in
1 min. 57.8 secs., a time he repeated later in a club match. M. N. Houslop
competed in the Kent Youths' Championships at Sutcliffe Park, Eltham, on
June 6th, when he' came 2nd in the Long Jump with 19 ft. 7 in. G. A.
Swann, competing for his club, was 5th in the Surrey Youths' 880 yards
with a time of 2 mins. 4.3 secs. and he ran a match race of 55.5 secs. for
the 440 yards. In the Blackheath Harriers' Schools' Invitation 880 yards
Richardson gained medal for 3rd in 2 mins. 3.8 secs. and during the Malkin
Trophy at Imber Court he returned 9 mins. 50 secs. for 2 miles. B. W.
Langley won the medal for first in the Blackheath Harriers' Invitation Discus
with a throw of 139 ft. 3t in. and R. A. Small won second medal with a
throw of 136 ft. 8t in.

Although there was a great deal of improvement among the younger boys,
owing to the efforts of Mr. Badmin, whom we are sorry to lose, it is obvious
that we do not as yet tap all the available talent.
The team itself this year has been excellent. The Captain and Secretary
are to be congratulated on the spirit they fostered and on the way in which
the members of the team encouraged each other to succeed. This has been
one of our best sides in recent years and it is fitting that they should have
benefited from the new vests, for which, and for the interest taken in athletics
generally, we are grateful. It must be an inspiration to us all that one of our
recent captains, R. K. Dollimore, was this year awarded an athletics Blue
and won the half mile against Oxford, thus helping to clinch the centenary
match, which several of us attended at the White City. We thank the
athletes for their efforts this year, which have been in the best Alleyn's
traditions of service, and we hope that those who are leaving will keep up
their sport at the university. Leavers include Small, Vance, Winter, Thomson,
Alien and Botell. We also lose the masters of the country, Wright and
Richardson, and past-masters in Phipps and Owen, who are going to the
Royal School of Dentistry and Oxford. We wish them every success in
the future.

SWIMMING
Master-in-charge: Dr. T. Gascoigne
Captain: N. Chapman
Secretary: C. J. Dunn
At the end of the Lent Term we made a determined effort to raise the
percentage of swimmers from 75 to over 90. C. Dunn organised a beginners'
class and he, I. R Taylor and R Mellor did some splendid work, with the
result that by the end of the Summer Telm the percentage rose to 85. We
want every boy to be able to swim and House swimming captains should
bring down their non-swimmers during winter swimming and teach them.
M. A. Carpenter conducted the Life Saving classes very enthusiastically
and also arranged for the examinations. Five boys gained the Distinction
Award of the RL.S.S .-Hull, Ledell, Dunn, Carpenter and Melior-they
had a particularly gruelling time. After about an hour's work in the water
they had to swim a fast quarter of a mile. The examiners decided that the
20 candidates for the Bronze award had too scanty a knowledge of the
theory and they failed most of them. They will try again this term.
The School Gala was won by Brown's. The combination of Dunn
and Hull, together with the support they found and trained, was too strong
for the other Houses, though Spurgeon's came close. No fewer than six new
records were made in the SchOOl Gala. By the end of the season all the
existing records were beaten save one, and some were improved on more
than once, so that list of school records printed last time has to be rewritten.
We had four matches in the Summer Term. We beat Brentwood easily,
lost to Dulwich by a single point, beat Westminster and also ga.ined a
convincing win over Beckenham & Penge Grammar School. This was our
first victory over Beckenham & Penge in seven years. In all these matches
N. Chapman, our Captain, has played a major part. He is now an
established water polo player, having played for the junior and senior Kent
sides. He has also represented Great Britain (under 18) against Italy,
Holland and Germany at Arnheim and played against Scotland (under 21).
HI! i~ a IIJu~h improved sW4l!meri at t1w be~innin~ of the rear his time for

the 100 yards was 59 secs., it is now 54 secs. He has swum for London in
the relay against the Transvaal Schools and most likely will swim for London
in October at Grimsby. C. Dunn, our swimming secretary, always gives a
good performance in the 100 yards and more often than not wins the
100 yards backstroke. His 5 mins. 32 secs. record for the school quarter mile
championship was a fine swim. When he learns to pull in the first part of
his stroke he will go even faster. M. A. Carpenter gave these two greathearted support; he can swim any style. We shall miss Lidell, who was
fourth man in the free-style relay. He never seemed to train but yet he
always swam very well. Mellor and Taylor, our breast-stroke swimmers,
trained hard and won some good races.
Our Colts team was very strong on paper but never quite reached the
standard expected of them. Perhaps Hull put up the best performances; he
certainly improved towards the end of the Summer Term. Starr in his first
year as a Colt swam strongly. Couchman's one length breast-stroke record
was really something to see, and it should stand for a number of years.
Coats trained hard and proved the fastest and fitte st man for the remaining
place in the relays.
The numbers attending swimming throughout the season have been high
--{)ften as many as a 100 per session. The help of the team boys in coping
with such large numbers was very much appreciated-without them disorder
would have reigned. The Tuesday evening class too exceeded its average and
for this we must thank l'Ar: Badmin, Mr. Mayho, Mr. Rice and Mr. Hull,
who gave instruction. We shall miss Mr. Badmin greatly and we wish him
good luck in his new school. We welcome the re-appearance of Mr. R.
Abbott, fresh from his American adventures, and are glad to have the
services of Mr. Matthais, a new member of the staff, who is a keen and
experienced swimmer.

time we were pipped on the post. Special mention should be made here of
the ~ast pa!r to .fire at 500 yards. With the visibility poor and rain
steadily fallmg Glbbs and Hardcastle scored 69 out of a possible 70 an
extremely good score under any conditions.
'
1, The Leys, 512; 2, Cranleigh, 512; 3, Alleyn's, 511.
A week later, on the 13th, the VIII won the London and Middlesex
with a. score if 510,. despite the rather average score of 248 at 200 yards~
Our :VIctory. was mamly due to the fine shooting at 500 yards of Potter,
Flemmg, Glbbs and Hardcastle who all scored 34, out of a possible 35.
Aft~r our. two narrow defeats in the Surrey and Sussex it was by way
of a fittmg clImax that we won the London and Middlesex. Our victory
was further sweetened by the Headmaster awarding the team colours as
follows:Full: A. N. Mead, J. V. Hardcastle, A. R. Bridal, C. W. Gibbs.
Half: D. C. Potter, D. K . Wheatley.
Quarter: K. R. Palrner, C . A. Fleming.

Unfortunately, there were no fixtures this term. However, the Club
was by no means inactive, and the Upper School attendance was exceptionally high. In particular, N. P. Day is to be congratulated on his efforts
which were rewarded by Dutton's victory in the House Attendance
competition.
Professor Moldovanyi continued with his programme of fencing tests
this term and the results of these were completely satisfactory and we
congratulate all those who have successfully taken tests this term, and
the results are shown below.

The annual match against the Alleyn's Old Boys on Founder's Day
was fenced off before a large audience, and we take the opportunity to
express the hope that in future the school team will receive support from
the junior members of the club at our home matches, the results were
sa tisfactory, the school being defeated in the foil, but victorious in the
sabre.
We thank Mr. Jenkins and Professor Moldovanyi for their unfailing
support, and trust that the club will meet with continued success next
term, with a large number of fixtures and the promise of new equipment.
SHOOTING, 1964
Master-in-charge: Mr. A. J. Bowen
Captain: D . C. Potter
Secretary: C. W. Gibbs
The Eight has made 1964 one of the most successful years on record,
we gained mention in every competition we entered.
..
This achievement is even greater when one considers that opportunIties
for full bore practice are so limited; many of the schools which one
normally associates with victories at Bisley have shooting VIIIs which can
practice once or even twice a week; Alleyn's, by comparison, this year,
had only one practice-shoot before its first competition.
The first competition was the Surrey, fired on May 30th, in which the
VIII scored 502, and although this was the winning score, we were placed
second as the result of a "count-out" with Epsom College who also
scored 502.
The Surrey Schools' Bowl-I, Epsom College "A" Team (246 and
256) 502; 2, Alleyn's School (249 and 253) 502.
To make up for this narrow defeat the school won practically every
other event at this meeting. Our Cadet P air, Stanley and Wheatley, won
the Sowman Challenge Cup-congratulations to them both, especially
Wheatley, whose marvellous score of 67 we could have well done with in
the VIII. And congratulations to C. W . Gibbs who represented the
school in the Drayson Challenge Tankard and was placed second, scoring
48 out of a possible 50; the winner scored 49.
The Old Boys' "A" Team won the Veterans' Plate with a score of
244, subsequently, Alleyn's won the Past and Present Trophy.

. The exams. ov~r and the weather fine, the VIII, ninth-man, cadet
pair, reserve and dnver, journeyed do~n to Bisley on Sunday, July 19th,
for the Ashburton week. We stayed m Bisley over the three days in the
camp, eating in the Surrey Pavilion.
.
The ~al.e and Pold.e~, shot on Monday and Tuesday, was divided
mto two dlstmct competltlons, the Wellington, for the highest individual
score at 200 yards, and the Iveagh, for the same at 500 yards.
These competitions we use in order to get some practice for the
Ashburton, fired on the Wednesday, and we don't expect any really good
result.s, but over half the VIII were recorded in the list of prize winners.
Mention. must be made of our captain's misfortunes at 500 yards. He twice
~ound himself on a "possible" with one shot to fire, only to put it in the
mner for a score of 34.
This year 102 schools competed for the Ashburton Shield The
Ce~t~ry Range, as its n~me implies, has 100 targets, so one sch~ol has
to Jom the Royal Canadian Cadet team on the "short 200" range. On
the dra~, we were the school that had to shoot here, and as it turned
out, thiS proved to be advantageous for us, because all our shooting
at 200 yards has b~en fired on this range, and apart from that, the
atmosphere was relallvely subdued compared with the hectic life on the
Century Range.

SCHOOL EXPEDITION TO LENGGRIES AND DISTRICT
We got off to a fine start, our first pair, Mead and Bridal, scoring 67.
Potter and FJcming got 65, Bryan and Palmer 60, and Gibbs and HardcastIe
64. This gave 'be VIII a score of 256 at 200 yards, perhaps not as many
as we had hoped in our most optimistic moments, but a score which put
us only six points behind the leading school. AIlhallows, the eventual
winners, also scored 256 at 200 yards.
, At 500 yards. the schoo l occupicci the point on the Century Range
which the school with the lowest. score at 200 yards was to have occupied,
that school shooting on the Long Siberia.
At 500 ya rds wc usually get a higher score than at 200, but \vith the
first detail getting 63, as comoared with 67 at 200 it did not seem that this
would be likel!;'. However, Potter and Fleming did extremely well, scoring
66, Potter gettmg a fine 34. Bryan and Palmer a lso did very well, Bryan
scormg 34 and Palmer keeping his end up with a 31, a fine effort by both
of them. Glbbs and Hardcastle, who have regularly recorded high scores
'
celebra ted their last shoot by both scoring 34.
Our party consis ted of L. T. BoteH, D. F. Buck, N. Chapman, A . L.
Clarke, C. J . Dunn, R. J. E'Ians-Jones, D. W . Halford, K. Hull, R . G .
Speight, B. J. Summerfield and R . H. Eve, and two ma sters, Dr. T .
Gascoigne and Mr. F. Kennard. We spent over three. weeks m the German
and Austrian Tyrol. For the greater part of thiS time we stayed m the
Youth Hostel at Lenggries which is a small village in the Voralps about
thirty miles south of Munich. We were asked by .the Bntlsh Museum
(Nat. Hist.) to collect the bees of the area, espec13Jly from the Alms
between 1 500-2 000 metres and this made us technically an expedItIOn. We
hoped als~ to do some swimming, sun bathing and climbing.
On all our walks we kep t to tracks and paths, for the Bavarian Alps
are of limestone which is likely to come loose and make climbing very
dangerous. Although we would have liked to. have tried o.ur hand at
some simple rope work, no rope was forthcommg for the VIllagers held
that if an accident happened our masters as well as the gUl?e m l~ht be
held partly responsible. And there had been a number of aCCidents m the
district that year including a fatality on the harmless looking Brauneck
which we reached on our return from the first climb. This was up and
around the Benediktenwand. It took eleven hours and we were up at
4.30 that morning. Sometimes the path was narrow and steep and only
for the foot-sure and fit, but none of us wavered. (Note by Dr. T. G . exclude me out of this statement!) We were led on our climbs by Herr
F. Stempfl, chairman of the local Alpine Club. After the way we
managed the Benediktenwand he was very proud of his English boys and
was most annoyed that the weather prevented him from leading us up
the Birkarspitz, the highest peak in the Karwendel. The party liked the
Glierstein climb best of all as the path near the summit was rough and
steep, and this was our nearest approach to climbing.
We found the mountain huts great fun, and of surprisingly high
standard- as good as hotels, and as expensive! Tony Murbock, the son of
the Garmisch Youth Hostel Warden, led us to the Krottenkopf Hiitte and
as an extra he took four of us, Nick Chapman, Laurie Botell, Tony Clarke
and Chris Dunn on a quick scramble up the neighbouring peaks. It is
said, and believed, that one of the four nearly fell off one of these peaks.
We sent a small party early on in the trip to the Lenggrieser Hiitte for we
had undertaken to collect 300 bees and our total was then only 50. When
the boys returned the number of bees caught was over 200. In the end
the collection was complete and was handed to Dr. Yarrow of the Entomological Section of the British Museum. He was very satisfied with our
work and selected twenty of our specimens to add to the permanent collection . Brian Summerfield was the keen naturali st of the party and he
collected 100 butterflies as well. Bob Speight and Dudley Buck assisted
in collecting and most of the other boys lent a hand. Mr. Kennard
remembers the mad efforts made to catch a Camberwell Beauty from the
narrow platform of the Seekar summit. On another occasion Tony Clarke
neatly trapped a SwaIJowtail by throwing his coat over it!
There was plenty of sunbathing and swimming. Bad T6lz has a fine
open air pool where we swam, and there Keith HuIJ and Brian Summerfield
won German life-saving badges as momentoes of the trip. We aIJ liked
the bath at Lenggries where we swam on rest days, but the swim in the
cool, clear water of the Walchensee, after walking over the col from
Jachenau, was the most delightful.
There were other highlights. The festival at Partenkirchen, the
Hofbrauhaus and Deutsches Museum in Munich, and we must not forget
p\lr suc;(:~ss liS J3~atJe s, Ro~er Eve ~ George ) who p layed the guitar, John.

wluch IS the highest we have scored since the middle '30s. Three schools,
Allhallows, Uppingham and Oakam, all scored 519. On the count-out
AllhaIlows won sin ce they had the highest score at 500 of 263. If the
school had scored 263 instead of 262 then we would have been the winners
since we had no "maggies " at 500-as it was, we were fourth.

Evans-Jones (Paul) who grew the hair, Nick Chapman (John) and Tony
Clarke (Ringo) were the main performers and the rest of the boys joined in.
They gave performances in the various Youth Hostels which the Germans
enthusiastically encored and also danced to. So besides 300 bees and 100
butterflies we returned with many addresses!
For all this we thank Dr. Gascoigne, who organised the party, Mr.
Kennard, who was with us on all the climbs, Herr Stempfl, our most
respected guide, and wonderful Frau Kratzer of the Lenggries Youth Hostel.
Roger Eve was a competent doctor to the party. John Evans-Jones looked
after all travel arrangements . Dave Halford was treasurer and became
most popular when he announced on the last day a dividend of £3 to
each member of the party. Bob Speight was interpreter, and the rest of
the party performed the many duties quickly and efficiently. We also thank
all the parents who were so helpful and co-operative, especially Mrs . Buck
whose practical help with the sleeping bags was much appreciated.

C.C.F. NOTES
The three main events of the Trinity Term were the Army Proficiency
Certificate, the Annual Inspection and Summer Camp.
The Proficiency Test was conducted at Caterham Barracks by 2 Bn.,
Grenadier Guards, on July 2nd, and 40 cadets were successful.
The contingent spent Field Day "at home" and put in a hard day
rehearsing for the Annual Inspection which took place on Friday, June
12th. Parents and friends were able to watch instruction in fieldcraft and
map-reading, training in field engineering and vehicle recovery, gunnery,
gliding, and demonstrations of signals equipment and camping.
The success of the afternoon may be judged by the following extract
from the report of the Inspecting Officer, Colonel M. J . P. O'Cock, M .C.,
Irish Guards:"The March Past and the Ceremony of Trooping the Colour showed
considerable precision. I thought that the standard of training was high
and an ambitious programme was being carried out very well. An excellent
performance."
In July we were very glad to welcome back Capt. Quartermaster
Randall who, despite his crutches, was soon making his presence felt
during the final preparations for camp. The 1964 Summer Camp was again
at "Greenfields," and 10 officers and 73 cadets spent 10 days of strenuous
and rewarding training in the Glentrool National Forest Park area of
Scotland. If we saw little of the magnificent scenery it was not for want
of walking and climbing. The weather was far from "bonny." For seven
days we contended with mist and rain, and the terrain was always very
difficult. However, morale was always high, especially among the senior
platoons who faced the worst of the weather in bivouacs up on the Lochs.
The junior cadets, too, were sorely tried by the conditions, but their cheerful
enthusiasm and determination saw them successfully through several long
marches and schemes, often with heavy loads. An indication of the spirit
of the camp may be given by the fact that not a single day's training was
lost. "But everyone" was in good voice for the camp fire concert and a
very colourful repertoire was aired at Burnfoot on the last evening.
It was an excellent camp, and much enjoyed by all. We are grateful
to the C .O . for his thorough preparation and for his efforts to ensure that
all cadets had a pleasurable as well as an instructive time.
Once again the Shooting VIII has brought honour to the school. In
th~ lllst w~~1c; of th~ t~nI! in th~ i\shb1,1fton M~etin~ at Bisley they befit all

previous attempts by finishing fourth of 102 schools competing. Their
score of 518 was only one point behind the winning score.
A further distinction was gained by L / Sgt. Crawford who received the
congratulations of the Chief Signal Officer, Eastern Command, on attaining
joint first position with a 98% pass on Course No. 2, C.C.F. Cadets
Certificate '1' (Signals), August 30th-September 5th, 1964.
At the end of the term we regretfully said goodbye once more to
Lieu!. J. A. Temple, and now we welcome Mr. C. W . Matthews to the
newly formed Advanced Infantry Training Company, and Mr. D. W.
Midglcy to the R.A.F. section.
We congratulate Lieu!. A. J. Bowen on his marriage, and we wish him
and his wife every happiness.
We look forward to the new school year with confidence, and with the
encouraging support of the many members of the second and third year
Sixth form who chose to stay with the Corps. Work is already underway
on next year's camps, and we may be seeing Exmoor or the Black
Mountains.

VOLUNTARY SERVICE ORGANISATION
With this term the V.S.O. reaches the end of its first year. All its
members are to be congratulated on its success during a year with many
planning and teething troubles.
A standard pattern of service seems to have evolved. Oxfam, the
largest group, has had a very good year indeed with over £300 collected,
of which some £60 was raised during their highly efficient Field Day
operations. Their work has at times proved a little monotonous and ideas
are needed to bring variety into Oxfam work without impairing its
efficiency.
The Cheshire Home and Abbeyfield House have seen regular parties
of helpers. Rooms have been decorated for aged and handicapped people
by a very energetic and enterprising group of boys. Gardens have been
tidied and tennis courts swept. I have been particularly impressed to hear
of work done in the holidays and am grateful to those, who while not
members of the V.S .O . have given some of their time in the evening to
V.S.O. work.
As we enter our second year we look forward to welcoming new members
and hope that they will not hesitate to produce ideas for V.S.O. work, as
we do not wish our original tentative pattern to ossify. We invite, therefore,
suggestions for V.S.O. work, either for individuals or for small groups.

LOWER SCHOOL CRICKET
The senior and junior elevens both enjoyed successful seasons; in fact
the combined record of eighteen wins, one tie, three draws and only four
losses in twenty-six matches has only once been bettered.
The U.13! XI won eight games, tied one, drew one and lost two.
Battle displayed a sound knowledge of the art of captaincy and several
games were won by an astute bowling change. The team's batting relied
more on its depth than on individuals although Battle, Williams, Houghton
and Evans played one or two outstanding innings. Battle was somewhat
unfortunate to be dismissed on several occasions when well set, but Williams
often brought about his own dismissal by attempting to drive too early in
his innings, a fault which will have to be eradicated if he is to fulfil his
undoubted promise. The opening batsmen, Wells and Alderton provided
the team with some useful openirlg stands without ever being able to hit
the ball hard; nevertheless they seem to have the temperament for the big
occasion and with a little more experience should do well. The most
successful batsmen were Houghton, who makes up for his lack of size by
spirit and determination, and Evans, a powerfully built first-year boy, who
scored 63 against Raynes Park in as many minutes.
The bowling was extremely good. The fact that only one school was
able to score a hundred runs off our attack was due in no small degree to
the opening attack of Williams and Johnson. Williams was erratic on
occasions but was always liable to deliver the unplayable ball. Johnson
on the other hand nearly always bowled immaculately. His length and
direction noticeably improved since last year and his perseverance was
rewarded on July 18th when he took all ten Caterham wickets for 15 runs,
a performance which we believe has never been equalled by an Alleyn's
boy in a school match. His season's figures of 44 wickets for 118 runs in
132 overs are an object lesson to any schoolboy bowler that length and
direction are of vital importance. Of the other bowlers, Tizard bowled
slow left arm with skill and intelligence and would have taken many more
wickets had not the opening bowlers been so successful. Gamgee, Houghton
and Evans bowled very well at medium pace in support and should do
well in the future.
At the start of the season the fielding lacked cohesion but with the
inclusion of Harvey, a first-year boy, behind the stumps, the throwing and
catching improved and by the end of the season had reached a high
standard with Johnson outstanding.
The U.13! XI was selected from: Battle, Alderton, Dolby, Evans,
Gamgee, Harvey, Houghton, Johnson, L aris, Maggs, Newton, Qualters,
Ritchie, Tizard, Wells and Williams.
RESULTS
Wednesday, May 13th (Away): Alleyn's 102 (Houghton 30); D.C.P .S. 60 (Tizard 7-22);

The U.12! XI won ten games, drew two and lost two. They
remained unbeaten until the last week of the season when Emanuel and
Rutlish both administered sound defeats. Nevertheless, no first-year eleven
has previously recorded ten wins in a season and Laws' team is to be
congratulated on their feat.
The team's success was due to the many individual successes and the
w.ay in which these were supported by the fine fielding of those boys who
did not have so many opportunities to shine with bat and ball. Laws
captained the ~eam very well but until the later stages of the season tended
to overbowl hImself. Except for the remarkable collapse against Emanuel
the batting was always reliable. Evans and Dolby both scored well over
200 runs and Laws and Gibbons more than 100. Evans scored his runs
with powerful drives all round the wicket and fully deserved his three half
centuries. Dolby is an opening batsman with the skill and determination
to build up a long innings. His 75 against Caterham augurs well for the
f~t1Jre, Olbbonsl too, poss~sses ttIt: pecesS!lry det~rmiP!ltion and put for a

quiet start to the season may well have also scored 200 runs. Laws on
the other hand must curb his tendency to swing wild ly at balls on his leg
stump if he is to score many runs in the future. Of the other batsmen
Harvey, \Vaters, Enters and Bull all played good innings on occasions.
The bowling was mainly shared by Evans, L aws and Gibbons with
Waters in support. Evans was remarkably fast for a fir st-year boy and
returned some excellent performances, taking eight wickets for eight runs
against Dulwich College, seven wickets for four runs against Merton Court,
five wickets for four runs against Whitgift and five wickets for five runs
against D.C.P.S. Laws, the other opening bowler, tended to bowl too fast
with the result that his length and direction suffered; nevertheless he took
some good wickets and wiII no doubt improve with experience. Gibbons is
a thoughtful bowler who is learning that change of pace and flight are all
important in medium pace bowling. He. is also developing a useful offbreak and should become an all-round cricketer of some ability.
The team was fortunate in having in Harvey a wicket-keeper of great
promise and determination who made some excellent catches and stumpings.
At present he find s it difficult to judge how far to stand back to pace
bowlers, but when this fault has been righted he may well develop into
a very good senior wicket-keeper.
The team played several matches against U.13i elevens and in two of
these games a few second-year boys were included. We were especially
pleased to welcome the master and boys of King James I School, Newport,
I.O.W., and hop e they enjoyed their first visit to AlIeyn's.
The U.12} XI was selected from: Laws, Battisson, Bull, Davis, Dolby,
Enters, Evans, Gibbons, Gregory, H arvey, Hook, Kaye, Roberts, TiIley and
Waters.

COMMITTEE MEETING HELD AT ALLEYN'S SCHOOL
ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 6th, 1964
The Committee met at the school with the President, S. R. Hudson,
in the Chair, and a good turn out of Committee members.
T he Hon. Secretary being away on business, Howard King, the Asst.
H on. Secretary, had all the work to do.
. The minutes were read, confirmed and signed and then the Hon.
Treasurer proposed the election of some fourteen members and recorded
the dea th of six more, after which followed a most important discussion
on the new arrangements for recruiting new members to the Club from the
school leavers which can be summarised as follows: The leavers will be met on two occasions at the school in their last
term by the Asst. Hon. Secretary and representatives from the Committee
and the Athletic Club, when the objects of the Club will be explained to
them, and with the kind co-operation of the Headmaster, arrangements have
been made for the boys to subscribe to Life Membership whilst at school
by the payment of 8s. per term, which amounts will be recorded on the
boy's personal record cards and the school will send a cheque to the Hon.
Treasurer with the names, and after 15 terms the boy will automatically
become a Life Member on leaving. By this arrangement there should be
an automatic increase in the membership we hope to 80% of all leavers.
. The recommendation for the next Deputy President was approved for
the A.G.M. and the accounts of the Annual Dinner, 1963, were presented
and received.
Discussion followed on Direct Grant Schools, the Car Competition
the Grand Ball to be held on D ecember 18th in the Great Hall and th~
proposed removal in the summer holidays of the Tin Tab ere~ted as a
temporary building in 1914.

The minutes were read, confirmed and signed and after the presentation
of the financial statement the Hon. Treasurer proposed the election of ten
new members which was approved and recorded.
The Hon. Entertainments Secretary (Jimmy M aple) reminded members
that this year the Annual Dinner was being held on October 21st at the
Connaught Rooms and he hoped for a good turn out of members and
friends-he also reported on the arrangements made.
A sub-co=ittee consisting of S. R. Hudson, E. Robbins and R. G. D.
Vemon was then appointed to be with the School Governors and the Old
Alleynians regarding the 300th Anniversary of the Founding of the School
by Edward Alleyn which is in 1969.
The recent successes of Alleyn Old Boys' and the School were reported.
R. Webster (Royal Air Force), A.O.B., on being awarded the C.B.E.
in the Birthday Honours List.
R. K. Dollimore, A.O.B., on being awarded an Athletic Blue at
Cambridge.
Clay Iles, A.O.B., on being selected to play at Wimbledon.
The School Athletics Team on being unbeaten in the 15 events this
year.
The School Shooting Team on their magnificent record this year in
coming second in The Country Life Competition and winning the
Surrey Schools Shield, and the London Middlesex Cup.
The Headmaster was thanked for calling the Club to once again meet
at the school.
Mr. Smith has been boxing regularly for the university this year and
was very unlucky not to have been awarded his "blue." Mr. Dollimore
has successfully furthered his athletic career. In the University'S match
against the A.A.A. he beat M. Fleet-England's first string for the halfmile last season-in 1 min. 50.6 secs., which was then this country's
fastest half-mile of the season. He was chosen to represent the University
in its centenary match against Oxford in the 440 yards and 880 yards. He
won the latter most convincingly.
The Annual General Meeting was held in Mr. Holmes' room in
Caius. On our arrival we were all very surprised and delighted that he
had removed his new and more powerful motor-bike for our benefit. After
some remarks from the President, who has spent the year looking for
something to do next year, a lively discussion followed. Some illuminating
facts came to light concerning Mr. Howard and Mr. Carter. The former
seems to divide his time between punting and studying the Beatles in the
Cavendish. It is rumoured that Mr. Carter has spent his grant on a
haircut to enable him to see where he is going when running for the
college. Mr. Lewis called for nominations for officers for next year. Mr.
Smith and Mr. Thomas were elected unopposed for President and Secretary
respectively.
We congratulate Mr. Lewis and Mr. Howard on obtaining their degrees
but they still appear to be uncertain what to do with them. Finally we
look forward to seeing some new faces in October and hope that the Society
will continue to prosper next year.
M.J .LL.S. AND D.J.T.
THE CAMBRIDGE LETTER, 1963-64
This year's larger than average number of freshmen brought the
membership of the Alleyn Society up to eighteen. In the Michaelmas Term,
Mr. Norton, Professor Young and Mr. Spearing invited us to a sherry
party in Trinity Hall. The pleasant informal atmosphere in which the
eve?ing had begun was temporarily interrupted by the somewhat tardy
arrIval of Mr. Martin, who was wearing what looked like a dinner jacket.
The "Turkish and Arabic" undergraduate when questioned later on his
appearance, replied that his black sweater was still at the cleaners, the
significance of which remains unknown.
The first course of the Annual Dinner, held in Pembroke in the Lent
Term, was disturbed by the entrance of two men from Clare who
conspicuously filled the empty places. Mr. Dollimore, who is usually
punctual when running round in circles, blamed Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas,
the medicine man of the Society, blamed his bow tie. We were very
pleased to welcome Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Hudson as our guests, besides Mr.
W. V. Smith, Mr. R . G. D. Vernon and several members of the staff.
Our President, Mr. Lewis, proposed a toast of "Our Guests and the
School," to which Mr. Lloyd replied in a most entertaining and witty
manner. He recalled his own undergraduate days at E=anuel and
expressed the hope that he would be able to attend similar functions in the
future.
. The Cambridge sporting scene has offered scope for a surprising
dIsplay of talents. Mr. Evans has been fencing for the University and
playing table tennis for his college. At Selwyn, Mr. McClelIan has followed . Mr. Burnett's example !lnd taken up rowing. Mr. Brown at Queens'
has WIsely stuck to soccer. WIth the start of the croquet season Mr. Morris
h~s beep practising hard and hopes to make the college team. Mr. Balaam
tried hIS luck at hockey and Mr. Edwards often punts vigorously up the
Cam.

FOOTBALL SECTION
The Football Club enters its 76th season with considerable optimIsm.
Last season all of our league sides finished in the top halves of their
respective divisions, and most sides achieved good cup results. This season,
with the knowledge that several new players are joining us, including five
of last year's very successful school first eleven, we feel that our results
may prove even better. At the same time, we have lost one or two players
who were with us last year, including, most regrettably, Pat Badmin, whose
rugged tackling at left back will be very much missed as also will the most
helpful liaison he afforded us with the school. We wish him well for the
future.
The fifth eleven is to enjoy, we hope, its first season of competitive
league soccer, and we feel that, under the able captaincy of John Etches,
they will soon make themselves a power with which to be reckoned amongst
those sides, which if not always the most skilful on a football field, are
certainly not backward in dispensing hospitality after the game is over.
The fourth eleven will be playing in the first division of the fourth
team section this season, and no doubt will find the standard of play there
much higher than any they have previously enjoyed. However, we feel
sure that, under the continued very capable leadership of Roy Croft, they
will give an extremely good account of themselves in this exalted sphere.
We have a very full fixture list for all six elevens this season, and we
could still do with one or two more players. Anyone wishing to seek
membership is advised to write to the Secretary, Mr. B. Humber, whose
address is 57 Cumberland Road, Bromley, Kent, or to come down to the
ground at Burbage Road <m a ~aturday afternoon and talk to any of the
players mere.

ALLEYN MAGAZINE
LAWN TENNIS CLUB
This season, after the first few weeks, the weather was much more
seasonable than last summer's. Unfortunately, a number of wet week-ends
in May hindered the recruitment of new members to replace the many who
have moved away or retired during the winter. The paper membership is
now at its lowest level since 1954, and must be improved if the Club is to
maintain its present level of activities. However, the numbers of All-sports
Members who entered the Tournaments and played in matches has again
increased, a more hopeful sign. In the circumstances, attendances on
Sundays, outside the holiday periods, have been reasonable, but further
reductions would cause concern.
The standard of play has been well maintained and the match results
were, on the whole, satisfactory. It is hoped to publish a detailed Match
Report in the next issue.
For once the Finals Day programme was completed on grass without
interruption from the weather. The prizes were kindly presented by Mrs.
R. W. Hill at the conclusion of the last event. The winners and runners-up,
who were all different from last year's, after many well-contested matches
were as follows:OPEN EVENTS
Men's Singles (the" Brown Cup "): D. Badelow b eat R. G. Devonshire 6-4, 1-6, 10-S.
Ladies' Singles (the" Hough" Cup): Miss A. M. Dyson beat Mrs. P. M. FarmelY
7-5, 6-4.
Men's Doubles (the "S:anley" Cup): D. Rowlands and D. Badelow b eat D. E.
Lamas and D . p. J. Cianfarani 5-7, 7- 5, 6-4.
Ladies' Doubles (the" Waring" Cup): Mrs. P. M. Farmery and Miss P. M. L and
beat Miss J. Baker and Miss J. V. Palk 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
Mixed Doubles (the "Arnold" Cup): A. D. Williams and Miss J. Baker b ea t
D . P. J. Cianfa ran i and Miss A. M. Dyson 2-6, S-6, 6-2.
HANDICAP EVENT
Mixed Doubles (the "Barnes" Cup): D . Rowl ands and Miss F. Baker (receive .3)
beat D . E. Lamas and Miss J. Baker (owe 30.3) 6-4, 6-l.
The Club is greatly indebted to all those who gave so generously of
their time and labour to help in the running of the Club's various activities
during the season, with particular regard to Match Catering and the Finals
Day arrangements.
Members are reminded that their subscriptions entitle them to play
throughout the year. The hard courts are available in winter whenever the
weather permits. As will be apparent from some of the foregoing remarks,
there are vacancies for all categories of new members: anyone interested
should contact the Honorary Secretary, R. E. Keates, 9 Clapham Mansions,
Nightingale Lane, S.W.4 (KELvin 3508).
R.E.K.
CRICKET CLUB
With the ending of another season, fortun ately one of fine weather, we
find ourselves in the unenviable position of needing to repeat our appeal
for more members. The beginning of the season promised a very good
membership and several new members were welcomed with the result that
the Club was afforded the luxury of choosing the 3rd XI from a pool of
players. Towards the end of June holidays began to deplete our playing
numbers and too often the evening prior to the Saturday and S\lnday
fixtures was spent telephoning members, past and present, imploring · them
to play the following day especially for the Sunday fixtures which ,esulteq
in askin~ schoolboys to complete our sid~s,
May I therefore request on behalf of playing members and the Cricket
Committee all Old Boys interested in playing on Saturday or Sunday, or
both, every week or occasionally, to write to the Cricket Secretary cia The
Old Boys' Athletic Club. We need your support and that of school leavers
to continue to fulfil our fixtures for next season to all of which we are
already committed. Continuance of the present situation will result in the
termination of one Saturday and one Sunday side. Please do not allow
many years of building a strong fixture list to be wasted.
On a more cheerful note, the season has provided a number of close
finishes to games, but a lack of runs throughout the season in each side
has resulted in the Old Boys failing by a narrow margin to obtain the
required runs after dismissing their opponents cheaply.
This year the Club returned to Christchurch for a five-day Cricket
Tour arid matches were played at Winbourne, Weymouth, Bournemouth,
Southampton and Portsmouth. I am sure all those who toured and enjoyed
themselves so much are very grateful to Mr. T. E. Jones for his efforts in
organising the Tour.
Mr. J. Davis has organised indoor cricket nets at the new Crystal
Palace ' Sports Centre for the whole of the winter. The net has been
booked for each Monday evening from 7 p.m.-8 p.m. Will any interested
members please contact John Davis for further details.
C.R.
1st XI Report
Despite one of the sunniest summers in recent years, this season has
not produced the glut of runs we all expected. Of the twenty-one matches
played ·the results are as follows:Won 7
Lost 6
Drawn 8
The wicket at the Club, as far as batting is concerned, seems to have outlasted its usefulness and being inconsistent in pace and bounce, a score
of 150 is equivalent to 200 on most other grounds. Fortunately our body
of seam bowlers, namely, Watts, Rice, Beaumont and Herdson, have all
bowled very consistently and backed up by some excellent fielding and
close to the wicket catching, have made run getting difficult for our
opponents. Whilst on the subject of fast bowling, credit must be given to
Alan Beaumont who has improved tremenoously during the latter stages
of the 'season, to become one of our most hostile bowlers.
The general standard of batting can best be described as lethargic and
lacking in determination. Some blame can be attributed to bad wickets
sapping the confidence from "out of form" batsmen but in the main it
has been due to batsmen attacking the bowling long before getting accustomed to the pace of both wicket and bowler. One highlight of the season,
however, was a splendid 62 made by youl1g Bob SmalI against the Old
Whitgiftians; who are probably the strongest side in the South of England.
It is a pleasure indeed to see boys from school not only playing for the
club but scoring runs in such a worthy manner. Let us hope that his
exampl~ will be followed by alI cricketers, no matter what standard, who
leave school and want to enjoy their leisure times playing good club cricket
at the ,Old Boys.
During the winter season, indoor nets have been arranged at the new
Recreational Centre, Crystal Palace, starting on Monday, October 5th
7 ·p.m.-8 p.m. each week until the beginning of April, 1965. Anyon~
interested should contact John Davis QY telephone at MUNicipal 2455

Saturday 2nd XI
Captain: J . Dell
The side enjoyed another successful season as can be seen from their
record of ten wins and only three defeats.
Runs were scored consistently due mainly to the fact that at least one
of the recognised batsmen always succeeded.
T~~ bowlin~ was usually accurate and steady, although a player with
the ablhty to spm the ball would have been very useful on the dry pitches
encountered during the second half of the season. Messrs. C. Marshall,
E. Stafford and R. Devonshire are to be congratulated on taking the great
majority of the wickets, and it is hoped that the improvement shbwn by
Robin Hope will be maintained next year.
I·D.
Saturday 3rd XI
Captain: K. Bantick
The 3rd XI was undoubtedly one of the very happy sides of the
season, under the captaincy of Keith Bantick who led them with a spirit
which ensured that every member enjoyed his game.
The side enjoyed an influx of new players which resulted in having
a pool of players to choose their team from at the beginning of the season
which was most heartening. However, towards the end of the fixtures the
side were pleased for the assistanct; of school members to whom we are
most grateful.
The results of the side were better than in the past few years and this
is due in no small way to the captain for his leadership and to the effort
each player made during the season, the pool giving the selectors an opportunity of choosing a well-balanced side each week.
Sunday 1st XI
Captain: D. H. Beadle
The past season was not orte of memorable results but rather of
attempts to field an XI, too often the side was not completed until the
eve or the mornIng of the game resulting in the fielding of an unbalanced
side who often found it difficult to beat the opposition even if not to avoid
defeat.
The side contains a strong nucleus of batting and bowling. With the
quest for more players it is hoped that a regular XI may be formed around .
the nucleus which will undoubtedly result in a strong XI capable of
matching their opponents in all phases of the game.
D.H.B.
Sunday 2nd XI
Captain: C. Marshall
Played 17, won 3, lost 8, drawn 6.
The. 1964 s~ason was dis~ppointing as. compared with 1963, mainly
because It was dIfficult to obtam a settled SIde. No fewer than thirty-five
players played during the season including eight boys from school whom
we should like to thank for their assistance.
.
The bowling and fielding throughout the season was very good with
Bamford, Bantick, Ma,rshall. and Roberts taking most of the wickets, but
unfortunately the battmg dId not support the good performances in the
~~'d l\nd only N. F . Wri~ht (Av. 27.75) showed consistant form.
e.M.
Cricket Tour, 1964
The tour of Hampshire and Dorset was more successful than in
1963, as the weather was very much better and the opposition stronger.
The batting on good wickets was slightly disappointing but the bowling
of Messrs. Beaumont, Herdson, Marshall, Rice and Rosier, backed up by
keen fielding and good wicket keeping by Messrs. Dell and Radley enabled
the side to win three of the five games ,Played.
John Davis skippered the side very well managing to give all the
players a fair amount of cricket.
The following members took part: A. Beaumont, A. Cutress, J. Davis,
J. Dell, R. Hennessy, D. Herdson, R. Hope, R. Mason, C. Radley, J. Rice,
T. Rosier, N. Wright, P. Wright; whilst R. Grant, C. Marshall and
E. MacCormick were welcomed towards the end of the week.
Monday, August 10th, v. Wimbome
Wimborne batted steadiy and declared at 154-8. After Beaumont (30)
and Davis had given the Club a good start Rosier batted in a most entertaining manner for 78, including 26 in one over, which enabled the Club
to win a most enjoyable game by three wickets.
Tuesday, August 11th, v. Weymouth
The Club batted first and struggled to 128-9 dec. Weymouth
collapsed to Herdson (7-35) and Rice who both bowled extremely well
giving the Club its second win by 57 runs.
Wednesday, August 12th, v. Bournemouth Sports Club
The Club got off to a very poor start but a very good ninth wicket
partnership of over 50 between Cutress (30) and Rice (61 not out)
enabled a declaration at 147-9.
Bournemouth in reply made 126-8 of which their opening bat got 80.
Although Marshall (5-48) bowled very steadily a draw always seemed to
be the most likely result.
Thursday, August 13th, v. Old Tauntonians
This proved to be the best game of the tour. MacCormick and P.
Wright gave the Club a good start but although five batsmen got into the
twenties the innings closed for 163. The Old Tauntonians started badly
but good third and fourth wicket partnerships put them well back in the
game. Just before 7.30 we got a few quick wickets but a six in the last
over gave the Old Tauntonians a well-deserved win (164-9).
Friday, August 14th, v. The Truants
The tour ended with a win by 55 runs. On a rain affected wicket
the Club scored 131, thanks to a good innings by Rosier (62). The
Truants started very slowly but Rice had a good spell (6-31), which
enabled us to win just on time.
T.E.J.
RIFLE CLUB
This summer has been notable for the combined successes of the
School and Old Boys at Bisley. The Old Boys' first success was achieved in
May by winning the Surrey Veterans Plate with a record score of 244
which, combined with the School's total of 502, won the Past and Present
Trophy. At the same time M . J . Day won the Individual Tankard.
. .In July the School VIII shot remarkably well in the Ashburton,
mlSSmg first place by only one point and this, combined with the Old
Boys'. score of 227, won the Lucas Cup, a trophy that we have been trying
to wm for nearly forty years.
We feel that this has been an end in itself and all our other shooting
during this summer may be regarded merely as practice.

The Bank wants young men of character and integrity, with a good
standard of general education. Given these qualifications and an
aptitude for the job, there is no reason why you should not find
yourself a Branch Manager in your thirties, with a salary upwards of
£1,865, and the chance of doubling your pay by the time you are 50.
Looking ahead, you could be one of those Managers whose salary
exceeds £5,000 a year -a man with a big job, full of interest and
responsibility. A goal worth striving for; and those who reach it will
have a pension at 65 (without any contributions on their part) of
£3,000 a year or more. For the early years there's a minimum salary
scale for satisfactory work: £340 at 16 to £1,030 at 31 with a year's
seniority for a good Advanced Level certificate and three years' for
a degree, plus certain allowances if you work in large towns (£150 a
year for employment in Central London). From 21 onwards merit
can take the salary well above these figures; if the early promise is
maintained, the salary at 28 can be £1,155, instead of the scale figure
of £905.
