Tlll. Slythiim I996 Farewells Rev. Stanley Pitts
Address given by Mr Bill Caner at the 1996 Prize Givmg.
There are occasions on which we need to allow time to stand still. Today is such a time For we as the St Stithians Family, after 26 years. are taking farewell of an old friend, a corner stone oi this Stan Pitts' beloved College.
Yes, the Rev. Stanley Pitts has been the Chairman of the College Council for 26 momentous. galloping, at times di icult. but always challenging, and glorious years. He has decided to pass the baton on. although he Will remain a member of the Councrl for a few years to come.
It is difficult for many oi us to imagine 3 Speech. or Founders Day Without the Inspirational and binding presence ol Stan and Daphne. Stan has led us Wisely with a light but firm and understanding hand. Always accessible he has a deep understanding of the essence oi the spirit of St Stithians which goes with a constant loyalty to all who serve the College. This is underpinned by a fervent commitment to its well being. Let us not underestimate his inlluence on our successes and our blessings in many fields.
So today on this day that our world stands SIlIL it is my privilege to introduce to you, as our speaker. our much loved Chairman, the Reverend Stan Pitts.
Many of you will say that the Rev. Stanley George Pitts (does that not resound with British History) needs no introduction he is part of us. but like so many cornerstones we rub against everyday, we tend to forget what he was and what he IS outside of our lives.
Stan was born at the outbreak of the First World War in Croydon outside London. He was born, like John Wesley and other great Methodists. an Anglican, but saw the light at an early age and like his mother became a Methodist - only to be blessed wrth Anglican Headmasters ever after don't Methodists ever become teachersl
He was the eldest son of a family of live. one Sister and tour brothers, At the age of 12 he won a Scholarship to the Whitgift Public School in Croydon where he went on to become Head Boy. I hasten to add that that titrbit of Information I got trorri Daphne who is the fount of knowledge in the Pitts tamily.
From an early age Stan had a call to do God s work in Africa and was inspired by the Great African Dr KnegWir Aggrey. the PrinCipal of Achimota College on the Gold Coast. Dr Aggrey was a well- known author and inspired a generation of missionaries and educators in Africa.
Stan started as a Cost and Works Accountant in a road-making firm , no wonder he has such a sharp eye for figures in CounCil Meetings.
The call to serve the church and his Lord though was never far away and at an ordination sewice one evening he responded and a year later was on his way to King Williamstown , a Border town.
After servrng the farmers on the Eastern Cape Frontier for a few years he was called back to Cape Town where he registered at U.C.T. and entered the Methodist Seminary. 1» . i . It was at this stage that two events at major import happened that Rev. Stanley Pitts and Kuhle Kunene

Over The Hill And Fur Amuy - [am Whllc 151d 9) Thc <1lequ WW 3) changed his life for ever. He met, conquered. and married the imperious Daphne Treleaven and the Second World War broke out! (The two of course had nothing to do with each other!)
Stan s Masters Degree was interrupted and he and Daphne joined up both ending up as commissioned Officers.
Stan went North and fought alongside his men with Gen. Dan Pienaar with the 6th SA Division Gunners in North Africa. He pushed through to the River Po. In Italy, with them and eventually was posted to Rome as Senior Chaplain to the Free Churches.
In 1946 he returned to Cape Town and was the Permanent Secretary to the Christian Council of Churches for 5 years. This took him around the world and to the major centres of missionary work in South Africa. It came as no surprise therefore. when he was asked to take over from the Rev. Grant as Rector at Healdtown in 1951. A great Methodist Institute of Learning from primary to teachers training. It ranked with Lovedale and Fort Hare in providing quality education when it was denied to so many of our countrymen.
Stan and Daphne spent 14 wonderfully rewarding years at Healdtown where their daughter Margaret spent her early years. In 1965 Stan was called to follow the legendary Joe Webb at the senior church in the country , Johannesburg Central and his relationship with Saints began as Chairman of the Southern Transvaal District.
Stan spent 14 years at the Central Church and during this time he became Chairman of Methodist Conference for the second time in 1973 following his first term of office in 1963. In 1971 he became Chairman of the St Stithians Council 26 years ago. 26 wonderful years during which time we saw Mark Henning with wisdom, focus the school and build a solid foundation as a place of excellence ready to expand and blossom and reach Its full potential.
With the Pitts/Wylde partnership we have witnessed St Stithians achieving its greatness and becoming a major force in education today. Under Stan's Chairmanship we have established Grade 0, Post Matric. Penryn, and the Collegiate all the while expanding our numbers. All these initiatives were soundly based and wisely overseen by our Chairman. Today Sir, is your last appearance as Chairman in the company of the St Stithians Family and we pay tribute to you and to Daphne. We thank you and we praise you both for your friendship, commitment, wisdom and leadership. Time does indeed stand still as we take our leave of you as Chairman.
With those words Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you our speaker, our Chairman, The Rev. Stanley George Pitts.

Question: Which is greater. the number of atoms in the universe or the number of worksheets produced by Trish Lees ?
Answer: The number of atoms but only just.
Question: Which is faster, the speed of sound or Trish Lees running down the corridor?
Answer: Trish Lees !
The end of the first term was a very sad occasion for Saints and particularly the Mathematics department. Trish is one of the best Maths teachers around, and we will miss her terribly. Trish has a great enthusiasm for Mathematics and a rare talent of being able to communicate enthusiasm to her classes. She demands high standards and gets them. Her examination results are an example to all of us.

36 The Stylhiuxi [996 Michael Smith 1972-1996
Shakespeare said: All the world's a stage. and all the men and women merely players". School is no exception: As a teacher you are required to give five or six public performances each day to hostile audiences. You rehearse and learn your lines each day and if you forget them. you ad lib ~ tell a story. show a film or leave the classroom on an "urgent" errand. In 25 years l have moved from U11 to U7 where the view is not as good
There is no need to advertise shows. the audience Slmply arrives. Some leave before the show is over: one boy closed the book we were reading and leaped out the second floor window of my class.
Teachers play many roles in the course of their careers. We are required at various times to be: strict lather, policeman. psychologist, nanny, confidant and adVIsor on swotting methods. exams and how to get a girl. (This last when I was a good deal younger). I have been called mummy once or tWice, but it s frankly not a role with which I am particularly comfortable.
It is sad but inevitable that as one gets older the gap widens between teacher and pupil and the ready quips and casual banter become rarer. when one is older they trust one more. I have had two boys who. more or less by accident, made fires during class in their oldetashioned desks and ended up doing a wild dance in the desk and later on the floor in order to extinguish them.
Life in the Staff room will be missed. There are few jobs which proVide the opportunity to socialise twice a day with colleagues. Of course the school has changed, but then so have I. l have been sitting, almost by accident, in the same seat in the Staffroom for some tilteeri years and l was considering a change in case I got into a rut. Now, of course, there is no time.
It is said that when a girl discovers that she is not the only pebble on the beach, she should become a little boulder. I am movmg now before it's too late and need to find a school With ramps for a wheelchair.
What has kept me gomg is. I believe. the ability to see the funny Slde to so many facets of the school experience. Once when I had finished asking various members of a Matric class what they intended doing when they left school one ol them asked, "And you. Sir. What are you doing when you grow up?" I must confess I still don t knowl One of the more memorable announcements made by the Headmaster over the intercom system which predated the D.R.O. went like this The first eight rowers are to meet me in my office at break and they must bring their cox With them.
This is not the final curtain for me but Simply a change of venue and a different audience. I Will take my warped sense of the ridiculous and my facetious remarks and inflict them on a different group of people.
Many thanks to you all and panicularly to Hugh Huggett. who is the perfect gentleman, Almost all of the significant events of my life have taken place while I have been at Saints. not the last of which was marrying Margie.
Saints is a beautiful and functional theatre complex With a talented and inspired company of actors and actresses led by the Independent Schools answer to Laurence OliVIer. l have no doubt that it will continue to draw enthusiastic crowds to what is, after all. the best show in town, Break both legs
Thank you
Mr M. Smith
'l lic siyihiim I lWi 37 Twenty-five years ago Mike Smith arrived at a very different Saints. It was smaller, more compact. and struggling to make its mark on the educational and sporting scene. Mike was originally employed to teach Afrikaans » he had a Legal degree - and to coach sport At St John s College he had represented the top school teams "1 cricket and rugby as well as playing hockey.
Mike is a multi~talented person; he was once a lead guitar for the popular jazz band - "The Barons" . that performed regularly in the now defunct Oxford Hotel; he built a wonderfully crafted wooden yacht to sail from the Cape to Rio before that race was even thought of; and he knows more about cars than many mechanics. He took over and ran the School Drivers' Education Programme [or many years. Moreover, he is completely bilingual in the broadest sense of the word
Mike s strength was his deep understanding and Iovo of the heritage of the English literature in its Widest sense of the word His understanding and interpretation ol poets across the ages and his team-teaching lectures on the Classrcs were well received: his enthusiasm for Hardy was known to have some unusual spin-offs when the Thomas Hardy Society was seen walking round the school chewmg grass and wearing typical gear of a hundred years ago. His has the warmest of relationships With the pupils and many ot them looked forward to the unique Joke time.
He is also known for his qtiick, dry Wit and is a legend in the Staff Room for his off tha-cufl Witticisms frequently against himself. His carpentw skill led to his appomtment as Stage Manager and the building of some wonderful sols such as West Side Story and the powerful "Conduct Unbecoming .
We wrll all miss his lino figure and his selloeprecatory wit. and Wish him and Margie all the best at Roedean. Messrs. J Vernal: H. Hugger: M. Clarke

On July 13 our group of two teachers and eighteen boys motored down to the Grahamstown National English Schools Festival. We stopped over at Gariep dam on Saturday night and completed our Journey early on Sunday morning. into this historical and picturesque town
The bustling vibrance and the multiculturalism ol Grahamstown quickly caught our attention and set the standard for the week to come.
Our programme was iamrpacked as there was so much on otter In such a small period of time. ln the tour lull days ol the actual festival we saw over ten productions. went to numerous lectures and attended one workshop per day,
Among the best plays were MacBeth (where the Shakespearian era had been substituted for l940 s costumes and decor). The Condominium Murder Mystery and Follies 3'16 .
The lestival wasn't however all work and no play and so after the hectic days we would come back to the res, where we stayed, and set out lor even more hectic nights. Saints and Brescia take the stage
Then suddenly amid the excitement and partying. the lestival was over. It was such an incredible experience and I would like to thank Mrs Worth and Mr Rumboll for their safe driving. All at us were treated like adults and so while haVing the ireedom. we were also lorced to cope With responsibility and independence. N Clement The Pride of Cradock

Then we had chosen was a Mondi estate just outside Sabie in Mpumalanga. A more beautiful area you will not find. Kit and load was issued and the 10 groups moved out tor the week.

The abseiling was truly exhilarating but one did get rather wet g0ing down the Slde oi the waterfall. The instructors were very cautious and one was encouraged to go down slowly. much to the disappointment oi some.

The rafting highlighted the importance of team work and although nobody ended up in the water there were some near misses. The hiking was probably not extenswe enough and will certainly be extended when we go again. the cooking. eating and living arrangements in the bush were certainly a great success and apart from the "bully beet" were a lot better than expected by the boys.
