MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

This is indeed a momentous occasion in my lite - as well as yours as the reader! The 2004 Srythian IS FINALLY completed! To all who have been so incredibly patient, I can only say an enormous THANK YOU! There have been a number of problems associated with bringing this magazine out, but with wonderful support, we have nally got there. I need to thank a large number of people - and mention is made of them in no particular order.

To Jay Caboz and Mo Segooa who worked on sections of the magazine during holidays and weekends. and perpetually showed enormous enthusiasm - sometimes it was just that that kept me plugging away at things. To all the staff, but in particular. Lynde Dicks and Jessie Edmiston. who put up with all my requests to caption the photographs, » at the end of the year in the middle ofall the chaos that is traditionally associated with this time. To Toria Jemmett who patiently endured endless calls from conoerned past pupils and parents! To the Heads (or all the support and patient encouragement. I trust that you will all enjoy this trip down memory lane and that I have managed to avord too many errors. I must say from the outset. that any errors are unintentional - and so I hope I can be forgiven for those that escaped the heady eye of all concerned.

Wsunv Roan FOREWORD BY THE HEADMASTER ' The Stlthian is a tting reection of the myriad of activities, which occurred in the Boys' College during 2004. It bears testimony to the high quality of broadening education afforded by this Institution and its persuit of participation In the academic. cultural, community service and sporting arenas.

Tribute must go to the Editor, Miss Wendy Robb, who stepped in at the last minute under trying circumstances to drive the production of the 2004 Edition. She and her committed Magazrne Committee are to be commended highly for their tireless efforts and dedication to this historical record of the Boys' College activities and accolades.

I am certain that it will afford many of the Saints community much pleasure and. undoubtedly. be of great interest to the boys of this College, not only at the time of publication, but for many years after they have Matriculated.

Yours sincerely I. D. MCLACHLAN FOREWORD BY THE RECTOR What a magnicent and varied year 2004 was for St Stithians Boys College: from the Grade 8 Camp in January, to the highly successful Easter Rugby & Hockey Festivals. to the unveiling of the Daniel Crowsley Bell Tower. to the inaugural Bezants to Knights Evening, and the outstanding Matric Results, Much has been achieved and we have much to be thankful for.

At Founders Day in July 2004. I made mention of my attendance at an education conference in Bulgaria and Romania, where I had the opportunity to engage wtth teachers and school leaders. both from state and independent schools, from around the world - Guatemala, Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Albania. Ukraine. Russia, France, USA and Australasia.

Firstly. I was struck by the similarities between Eastern Europe and the Balkans and South Africa.

However. and perhaps more importantly, was another observation that was common to all schools represented at the Conference. There is a spiritual vacuum in our post-modem. materialistic society. At Saints we have noted: The increase in questions from pupils in lessons and at school; The message of the learners involved in the production of Exodus; Agrowing number of adolescents throughout the world increasingly seeking meaning through dmgs, alcohol or other gratuitous behaviour.

These are important issues for St Stithians. for our children, for our parents.

We have taken cognisance of this at St Stithians College and attempted to draw up a Saints Charter, with input from a broad base. in which we articulate a set of values and beliefs that tie us together as a school community. Not an inward exclusive community. but one that looks outwards and continually looks at how we can create a community in our nation and amongst other people.

For us at Saints it is based upon: One and All; Honour self, others. God; A South African School making a World of Difference.

The Saints Charter is about being Proudly South African and hopefully we. as a College, will get more involved in celebrating our South Africaness. It is about being and becoming beacons of Ubuntu amongst our families. friends. in our communities and beyond. The goal is aptly summed up by our former president when he writes of Ubuntu: The spirit of Ubuntu - that profound African sense that we are human only through the humanity of other human beings - is not a parochial phenomenon, but has added globally to our common search for a better world." (Nelson Mandela).

In closing, may I pay tribute to the Head, and Deputies, staff and learners of St Stlthians Boys' College on all that has been achieved in 2004. both in the classroom and beyond; on the Colleges commitment to our country and to making a difference. in so many different ways, to the broader South African community, through their wide and various community partnerships; and to educating Saints boys to become "knights" who are leaders in their chosen fields. independent thinkers, and contributing citizens of the new South Africa.

With kind regards STEPHEN Lowrzv

Rev. Madika Sibeko began at St Stithians College in 2001. Her animated. robust and infectious laugh caught everyone by surprise initially. but coupled with her eternal' challenge to live freed from the isms' of society. she has left an indelible mark on all who were privileged to work with her at the Boys' College, especially.

Among her many varied accomplishments while Chaplain was her ability to liven up any Chapel Service. be it an auspicious occasion such as Founders' Day or a Sunday evening Boarders' Chapel. Her teachable nature not only allowed her to learn signicant lessons in her personal journey. but also gave her signicant credibility among those whom she led.

Madika lived her message. a true tribute to her person while here at Saints. Her compassion for the boys in the Boys' College especially the boarders will long be remembered. Her leaving to advance the Methodists: cause at a Seminary in Pretoria is surely St Stithians' loss but their gain.

Various guest speakers were inVited to tell their stories and many inspired the boys to search further in their Journey towards knowing God. 2005 holds great promise as the Association determines to challenge the thinking and understanding of indiVIduals in their pursuit of an effective walk with God.

Jade

I'm lying in her arms. She's singing to me, she puts me to sleep. The Jade piece of her necklace sways from side to side. it hypnotises me until my eyes close,

Jade has so much meaning to me. Jade necklaces don't have a certain colour. It is believed that the more you wear one, the greener it gets, The colour also changes depending on how much love you show other people. It's the indication of someone's ying and yang.

My mom's piece of iade has a dark shade. This proves to me how much she cares and loves olher people. My mother is a philanthropist; she's a symbol of love. I often take her for granted. The small piece of jade stands out and I quickly realise how lucky i am.

Morn always does what I ask, she never says no It's the jade that reminds me of the sacrices that she has made for me. One half of the ying yang is good and the other is bad. If that reflected the world. my mom would be the good and the world could be the bad. BLAKE SING LUVI lNTquC/t HON A-wRL-Mmm m TRAP

It's twelve oclock, go to bed! You work too hard." My mother shouts from down the passage.

I crawl from my desk chair and into my bed in one single movement, The pitter-patter of the tiny drops falling on the bay window out me in a mellow mood of relaxation. All the day's worries drift away like a stray leaf riding a wild river All my concentration is focused on listening to the noises of nature. i try to hear every little splash that the tears from the dark sky are making Such anger and frustration seems to be released every time the deep blue angel shouts out.

L'amour, tout le monde peut en parler Aujourd'hui je sais que mon reve ne sest pas arrete. Tout Ie monde peut en dire, Mais tres peu en savent. La reponse etait la, inscrite dans mon coeur. .lai appns a Ie lire. jai appris a le comprendre Moi-memeje ne suis quun amateur Et depuxs que tu as disparu Je ne vois plus Ia beaute de ton ame Mais ce que j'ai a dire, Ne concerns pas mon experience. Mais seulement ce qui en resle. Ce que j'ai a dire. La peine dans mon coeur... Je ne le dis pas par philosophie. Mats seulement pour exprimer le reflet ...et la pensee de ton amour dans mun ame. D'une pensee ressenti par mon cmur. KEVIN Kuuss Ce que celui-ci souffle sans arret a man esprit meurtrl,

Je n'al certainement pas l'ame d'un poete. Mats je crols quecrire un poeme Est un simple et tres jolt moyen d'exprimer ses sentiments, C'est donc par les lignes suivantes que Je commence :

La vie est une Iongue et penrble souffrance. Chanceux ou pas, il est sur que l'on y goute tous un jour. La vie, commence par une chose Aussi banale et naturelle Que mysterieuse et magique Rien que le fait d'ouvrir les yeux Et decouvnr la vie avec ses moments de bonheur et de tristesse. Mais aussi rien que Ie fait de les lermer. Lacmm TURQUUIS Pour s'eteindre et s'en aller a jamais. Un battement des cils qui hier. Ce ciel bleu. ressemble a locean turquois. || est muet comme un sourd. Nous a ouvert les portes de la vie. Nous les femera aussi simplement demain. J'eprouve Ie desir de courir a travers Ia prairie vaste. Pourtant Ia vague rude deferle sur mon esprit, La raison pour laquelleje parle de ceci est la suivante : Je SU'S la mer. La vie. aussi oourte soitelle Iorsque l'on y arrive au bout, Vaut Ia peine detre vecu ; quoiqu'il arrive. Ce ciel bleu. ressemble a I'ocean turquois, II y a toujours un moment de bonheur a panager || est silencieux comme un sourd. Avec oet amour que chacun de nous ressenl et recherche. Mille milles ne I'abattra pas, F'ourtant le vent de la mer frissonne contre moi. Pour moi cette quete s'est termlne it "e me retlent pas. Le jour ou mes yeux Ont appercu ton ame. Mon coeur s'est olfert. Ce ciel bleu. ressemble é locean turquois. Peut-etre suis-je encore trop jeUne. || est tranquille comme un sourd. Peutetre cet amour me rend aveugle a la realite. J'ai parle seulement a I'océan. C'est d'ailleurs la une part de son grand pouvoir. Sur lequel je pourrais voler sans ailes. Mais peutelre et aussi je Ie pense. jespere Que mon coeur a su faire Ie bon cholx Ma campagne confortable, mon domicile... Et que mon esprit Ie comprendra. « Iocéan turquois »

Cet amour est une etrange histoire dont ce soir ER"? K'" Je traduis par l'ecriture. la profonde pensee :

Ce que j'ei ressenti avec toi et oe que je ressens en y repensant Est pareille a une ivresse d'amour qui parcourt rnon corps tel un frisson Me Submergeant et me laissant couler doucement dans une nostalgle reveuse ; . Comme berce par une rnusique imaginaire provenant fin lend de mes pensees.

Je te Iavoue je pensais etre different des autres, Plus fort, plus reechi et dun courage sans limite. Mais une leis de plus je m'etais trompe et t'avais blesse.

Malgres cela. je suis toujours d'avis que les erreurs que I'on leil Ne doivent etre considerees grave que si elles sont impardonablees. Et aussi simple que cette question peut paraitre La reponse est surement la plus difcile a accepter : Me pardonneras-tu mes erreurs un jour ? 45 [UNIOR ENGI IsH FESTIVAL m . .
