The Salopian No TITLE HERE 1 THE SALOPIAN Issue No. 157 - Winter 2015 he death on Friday 11th December of Michael Schützer- TWeissmann has formed a melancholy coda to the Michaelmas CONTENTS term. For his family, for the English faculty - which Mike headed Academic News 4 for 17 years from his arrival at the school in 1988 - for generations of former pupils, and for the whole current school community, the City on a Hill 6 loss of an extraordinary man, whose humanity, wit and wisdom Salvete 8 enriched so many lives will be irredeemable. Valete 9 Spanish Study visit to Argentina 12 In Mike were wedded harmoniously a towering moral strength Classics Trip to Greece 13 with the deepest humanity. Prodigiously well read, and a profound Drama 14 thinker on matters both spiritual and temporal, he combined Evensong at The Queen’s College 16 the scholarship of a don with a disdain for pretentiousness and Leavers concert 17 intellectual humbug. An innate respect for his fellow men – I House Singing 18 never heard him speak ill of anyone – was, perhaps ironically, Shrewsbury in Malawi 18 allied to a Swiftian sense of satire. Nowhere was this seen to better Expedition to Guyana 19 advantage than in his now rather poignantly named Shakespearian Pringle Trophy 23 pastiches As You Leave Us and Lots Leave us Lost written for private Old Salopians in WWI 24 performance at leaving parties for fellow English Faculty members Life beyond Shrewsbury 26 held at Marycourt, a frequently-used haven for so many of us from Relaunch of the Rovers 28 the hurly-burly of day-to-day Salopian life. Cricket 29 Tennis 37 Countless Salopians owe much of their ‘real’ education to time RSSBC 38 spent in his architectural seminars, the legendary Building Society, RSSH 41 tapping into his vast knowledge of French wine, or, in the case of Athletics 44 the School’s Roman Catholic contingent, simply chatting to him Equestrian Success 45 over lashings of bacon and eggs in Marycourt after early Sunday Hockey 46 Mass in the Cathedral. In so many ways Mike was paterfamilias to Shrewsbury School Foundation 47 the Common Room as well as to his extensive family, to whom we Director of the Salopian Club 48 send our warmest good wishes. Salopian Club Events 49 News of Old Salopians 51 David Gee’s City on a Hill, published in September and reviewed Arts & Activities Committee 55 by both Martin Knox and Professor Colin Leach in the following Old Salopian Biologists 55 pages, implicitly invites readers to reflect on change and constancy The Making of a Runner 56 in the Salopian scene. The idea that the “The One remains, the Sponsored charity row 57 many change and pass” - a spell well-known to anyone brought up Cycling across Europe 58 at the knees of Frank McEachran – lies at the heart of this portrait, Old Salopian Football 59 written by a man whose understanding of Shrewsbury is unrivalled. Old Salopian Yacht Club 61 Values held dear by Mike Schützer-Weissmann - decency, humanity Sabrina 62 and gratitude for the gift of life - are unchanging. Never indeed Old Salopian Hunt 64 have they seemed so important than today, when we consider the Old Salopian Golfing Society 66 wider world beyond the bounds of Shrewsbury School. Saracens 69 Publications 71 Within the Shrewsbury microcosm, we can see those values Obituaries 72 illustrated in the heartwarming tale accompanying the adjacent picture, which I feel Mike would have enjoyed. The first two are evident in the actions of the sheep’s rescuers, the last, one must assume, is being instinctively felt by the sheep himself, if only he were able to articulate it. Editor Richard Hudson I will leave readers to extract whatever symbolism they can from Churchill’s Hall, Shrewsbury School, the front cover photograph. The platform seems solid enough, but Shrewsbury SY3 7AT perhaps it might be better just to enjoy the view! 01743 280630 [email protected] Assistant Editor Annabel Warburg Obituaries Editor Front Cover: Guyana Expedition 2015, Kaieteur Falls.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.
