EDITOR : C. M. DIAMOND. SUB-EDITORs : E. ] . LAVENDER, D. W. PERRY. Vo L. XXIX. No . 4· FEBRUARY, rgsg. Editorial HERE is so little time to do anything, even write the Editorial of T The Aluredian, that the question of time spent in extra curricular activities springs readily to mind. For most of the senior members of the School there is very little time in which very much must be done. This is a healthy sign, which is suitably reflected in the reports of the various activities in the following pages. On the other hand, many of the junior boys in the School are not so busy, and while they are not so concerned, of course, with organisation, they do not always exploit to the full the many and varied ways available pf spending the out-of­ school hours. A Public School is after all the place for these things, which do form an important justification for our somewhat contro­ versial existence; school work, however, should not be put in danger of neglect. It would certainly be excellent if more boys, both juniors and seniors, would bring forward original contributions to The Aluredian. There was a time when such contributions, together with the Letters to the Editor, formed an important part of The Aluredian. Sadly, this is no longer the case. It must be due more to shyness than lack of ability! At any rate, some attempts would be encouraging. One improvement in The Aluredian, seen for the first time in this issue, is the simplification of House and Club and Society notes. This means that the writers of House notes especially have no longer to lose much time and perspiration in trying unsuccessfully (always unsuccess­ fully) to avoid using the same cliches which have appeared in these pages year after year. It also means that a great deal of money is saved in producing The Aluredian. Unfortunately, this factor becomes more and more important as time goes by. In conclusion, we should like to thank the previous Editor,' A. J. Holland, and his Sub-Editor, R. J. Abraham, for all the hard work which they have put into The Aluredian during the past year. THE EDITORS. a School Notes E celebrated the sotb Anniversary of the Dedica tio n of the C hapel W this term on Friday. October 24th . This was an important date in the religious history of the School and was celebrated w ith a solemnity and sincerity fi tting to the occasion. Our Provost , the B ishop of Bath and Wells, the Bishop of Exeter, President of the Woodard Corpora­ tion, the Bishop of Taunton, a nd Bishop Wilson, Custos of the School, we re present. In the morning there was a Sung Mass and in the after­ noon E vensong. On both occasions the Chapel w as packed to capacity with friends of the School. parents and boys. Further d etails of the J ubilee Celebration will be found in a special article in Choir notes. The Headmaster stated at Assembly one morning that the Chapter had decided at its November m eeting to e rect a new Classroom Block in rg6o . Details about this building will be available , w e hope, for publication in our October issue. King's College would like to express its vvelcome of the Cathedral School Llandaff into the Woodard Corporati on and hopes that this step will mark the beginning of a new era of success and prosperity for it . We have great pleasure in hearing of the following e lections as Fellows of the Chapter :- Rear Admiral H . W . Faulkner, C.B., C.B.E ., D.S.O. The Right Revd . D . J . Wilson. The Right Revd . The Lord Bishop of Llandaff. The Revd. W. J . P . Cox. Admiral Faulkner, Bishop Wilson and Father Cox are already well known at King's, as they are Members of the School Council. Mr. S. Carlile Davis and Mr. J . L. Rogers have retired from being Fellows. They have been Fellows for many years and we venture to associate ourselves with the many expressions of appreciation they have received. Mr. Rogers was a most generous supporter of the War Memorial Fund. The Archdeacon of Taunton, the Venerable G. F . Hilder, has also resigned his Fellowship owing to great pressure of work. He was for several years Custos of King's and Chairman of the School Council. He promoted with vigour the cause of the War Memorial Building and it was under his Chairmanship that the Appeal for the Loan was launched. We wish to express our warm thanks to him for all he has d one to help King's and we hope that in his new capacity of Honorary Fellow he will not lose touch with us. We announce with deep r egret the death of two Fellows of the Cor­ RANDALL CARTER UNMACK poration, Colonel C. J . Troyte-Bullock and the Very Reverend F. P. M.A. (Oxon.), D. es L. (Uni v. de P3r is) Harton, Dean of Wells. Headmaster 193 7- We are very grateful for the gift by Mrs. Bowes-Cavanagh of two carved oak pews in the Lady Chapel, in memory o f h er husband and Presented by Membe rs and Honorary Me mbers of her son; also for the gift of a p ew from Mrs. Miller, in memory of of the her brother, F. J . F . Russell , O.A., born 1903, died I944- The Bowes­ Old Alu red ia n C lu b Cavanagh memorial pews were dedicated on Sunday, October sth, 1958. 1958 The Russell memorial pew will be dedicated on Sunday, June 7th, at Evensong. 4 The School congratulates Mr. J. Foot, O.A., on his recent appointment in Sir R. Welensky's new Go vernment in Rhodesia. He has been appointed Parliamentary Secretary to th e Ministry of Home Affairs with special responsibility for information services. H. W. Cowling, O.A., who left King's forty-eight years ago, paid a flying visit to the School during the Michaelmas Term. He has been tea planting in Malaya. He showed his pleasure at the progress of the School by converting his loan of £roo to the War Memorial Fund into a gift. We warmly appreciate this token of his interest in the School. The Members and Honorary Members of the Old Aluredian Club have presented the Headmaster with a portrait of himself by Mr. William Dring, R.A., in honour of his 21 years' service in the School. The Honorary Members of the Club include the Chapter and the Masters. The Headmaster has given the portrait to the School and the O.A. Club has presented him and Mrs. Unmack with an artist's copy as a personal gift for them to keep in their house. This Michaelmas Term we welcome two new members of the teach­ ing staff, Mr. Baker and Mr. Lance. Both have made their mark upon the School already. Mr. Baker has impressed many people with his memories of the last war and he read an excellent paper to the History Society in which he revealed amongst other things that he was involved in the building of a bridge on the River Kwai. Mr. Lance, an ex~College Rugger player, has taken over the running of the Junior Colts, and has coached the team, which started badly, to a successful season. This year we welcome another American Exchange Scholar, Jim DeW. Perry, as successor to Michael Olds, who left King's last term after having spent a year here. Perry, who comes from Kent School, Con­ necticut, is in the Woodard, and will be at King's for a year befo.re entering Harvard University. We hope that he has enjoyed his first term here and that his initiation into the game of Rugger and into our School life has been both pleasant and painless. The South Western Division of the Headmasters' Conference were the guests of the School for the Michaelmas Meeting of the Division on Tuesday, qth October, 1958. A Working Party of Division IX of the Association of Headmasters considering the "Four Term Year" held two conferences at King's this term on Wednesday, 8th October, and on Wednesday, 19th November. At the end of a thirteen weeks' term it is refreshing to think of a school year in which most terms would be nine weeks and no more than ten I This Michaelmas Term, Sergeant-Major Gooderham has been awarded the Cadet Forces Medal in recognition of twelve years' service, but he has rendered much more than "twelve years' service" to the School Corps.

  • The British, Kugy, and Western Slovenia
    182 The British, Kugy, and Western Slovenia Ksenija Rozman Plates 69-72 The Julian Alps, the Sava valley, the surroundings of the lakes at Bled and Bohin;, Lake Cerknica, the city of Ljubljana and the Postojna caves are areas which the British have been visiting for centuries-fust as scientists, later also as travellers and mountaineers, and today mainly as tourists. All these areas are readily accessible by organized motor co'ach tours which start from Bled, Bohinj and Kran;ska gora. This territory, once part of the multi-national Austrian empire, now is the western part of the republic of Slovenia, one of the six constituent republics of Yugoslavia. The highest mountain in Yugoslavia, Triglav (2863m), lies in Slovenia. Dr Julius Kugy once asked France Avein, the Slovenian moun­ taineer, climber and professor of electrical engineering, what part of the Julian Alps he liked the best. Avein decided on the western Julian Alps, but Kugy demurred; 'That's all right, my dear Avein, it's beautiful! But the eastern part has the Triglav. The Triglav is not a mountain, the Triglav is a realm.'l Forests, mountains, mountain flora, meadows, rivers and lakes are all naturally constituent parts of the globe-but so many prominent Britons have wri~ten so much in praise of Slovenia and its people that even the best educated European could hardly fail to take heed and to be flattered. Sir Humphry Davy, and after him Josiah Gilbert and GC Churchill thought that the valley of the Sava river was the most beautiful valley in Europe.

    Austria / Carinthia / Villach – Lake Faak – Lake Ossiach Region / Attractions: lovely lakes.Caribbean colours.idyllic island.family.active.entertaining.roaring. Fabulous Lake Faak – Caribbean colours in Carinthia – uplifting turquoise! LOVELY LAKES. Crystal clear and completely clean – the luxury of swimming in drinking water. And the water temperatures? Up to 28 degrees. A little known fact is that Lake Faak in the Villach Region ranks among the warmest in Austria. It comes from the many hours of sunshine. After all, Carinthia’s fifth largest lake is on the south side of the Alps. www.visitvillach.at CARIBBEAN COLOURS. And that typical easy-going atmosphere. Yes, Lake Faak seems more tropical than Central European. Its changing shades of turquoise water, local colour, infectious good mood, unique island (even with a hotel), sparkling setting, beautiful backdrop and deep-red sunsets – all the ingredients for a carefree, dream holiday closer to home. Incidentally, the distinctive blue-green colour comes from fine particles of limestone. www.faakersee.at IDYLLIC ISLAND. Who says an island always has to be in the sea? In the Villach Region there is one in the middle of Lake Faak. With woods, tennis courts, historic lido building, large sunbathing area and the only island hotel in Austria. Four stars, spa and restaurant – also for non-residents! Getting there is easy by hotel motorboat, what else? Excellent choice of accommodation: from campsites, cosy B&Bs and farms to four-star hotels or ones catering specially for families with children. PICTURE POSTCARD. Lake Faak. Picturesque.

  • Maren Lübbke-Tidow Camera Austria International # 125, 2014
    Maren Lübbke-Tidow Camera Austria International # 125, 2014 Staatsgrenze / Border “At what point does a state face its border?”i It is this rhetorically ambiguous figure that Seiichi Furuya purposefully employs to describe the motivation behind his work “Staatsgrenze / Border”, which was created between 1981 and 1983 in Austria. Detecting the borders of a state—this sounds like a utopian undertaking. Yet with a simple conceptual approach, Furuya has penetrated the unequivocally fragile core of nation-state regimes like those that sought to take root in Europe after the two world wars. The artist frequented the border regions of his adopted country of Austria, paced them out and questioned both their institutional bodies—customs officials or border police—and the nearby populace about their experiences. Black-and-white photographs of sites along the Austrian border to the former so- called Eastern Bloc countries of Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia were created in this way, along with several related written sentences penned by Seiichi Furuya, together with a map and an epilogue—all of which were compiled to form a twenty-three-part series, which was later expanded. A second epilogue on the work was developed in 1990 after the fall of the Iron Curtain. “Staatsgrenze / Border” was exhibited in Berlin for the first time in 2013,ii and in 2014 the work will be available for the first time in book form and will be expanded to include photographs of six further sites.iii “Staatsgrenze / Border” is a work about unfamiliar places to which no one ventures, but which encourage anyone who has ever traversed a border to tell stories of their border- crossing experiences.
