* What makes a class interesting?

The teacher or the subject?

The same kind of question applies when you’re choosing a career. Is it the work that’s interesting or the company you’re working for? If you choose to work at Barclays you get the best of both worlds. The Bank is progressive, the people friendly and what’s more, the work is challenging. We pay both boys and girls the same. And what you are paid and how fast you are promoted depends on your ability, not your age. It’s up to you. Our career-minded entrants must have four ‘O’ levels, although two or more academic ‘A’ levels are preferable—they will put you ahead on starting pay too. On the other hand if you’re a girl who has a good general education and wants an interesting job, we’ll welcome you just as much. For more information either see your Careers Teacher or local Barclays Manager. Or write to: The Local Directors, Barclays Bank Limited, Central Buildings, 84 North Street, Guildford, Surrey GU1 4AX.

Editorial

in spite of numerous appeals by previous editors, contribu­ tions from pupils this year were not very forthcoming. There seems to be a general lack of enthusiasm or too much modesty. The very worst that can happen is that we do not publish the article; and we really do want contributions from everyone, including the lower forms, and especially new members of the Sixth Form. One has only to read through a few of the sports and society reports this year to see that fewer people are taking an interest. It seems a great pity that the teams formed in previous years are not supported simply because members of the school cannot be bothered to participate! This year, read the reports for yourself before you condemn the activities offered; you may even become interested. It is up to you to make your school the kind of place you want it to be; so why not show a little more tolerance towards the activities you do not like, and a little more enthusiasm for the things you do? We would like to thank the staff for their various efforts, the pupils for their contributions, Mr. Cheale for the use of the dark-room, and the secretary for type-writer, paper and unlimited patience.

k Mr. J. R. Chisholm

Robert chisholm retired in July after teaching for more than 23 years in the Mathematics department, where his steady sympathetic work with the middle school pupils has been valuable. A Northumbrian, and a graduate of London University, he enjoyed cricket in his younger days, but his main interests have centred on the country­ side. His own garden at Elstead with its vines and bees has always been colourful, and the school benefited from his knowledge of flowering trees when the shrubberies were made some years ago. Both he and Mrs. Chisholm have been much concerned with the welfare of spastic children, but they still find lime for touring as keen members of the Caravan Club. The familiar Land Rover, which has been so often used in the service of God- helmians, will shortly carry them to Grassington in Wharfedale where they will live in future. We all wish them a long and happy retirement. A.S J.

Michael Watson’s portrayal of the Clown was amusing and the audience responded well to his portrayal of rustic backwardness, even though Michael still has a tendency to “switch off” between speeches. How­ ever, this is a niggling criticism of what was a very good performance and his attempts to repel the importunate advances of Mopsa and Dorcas (Elizabeth Bennett and Linda Waterfall) was one of the comic high points of the evening. Alan Edwards, as the Shepherd, gave a creditable performance and managed well the difficulties of representing an old man. Among the courtiers, there were some strong performances too. Julian Hyams’s acting has pro­ gressed considerably and his playing of Camillo, in many ways a thankless part, was very even and well- judged. Alan Bezzant, as Antigonus, captured very well the bumbling self-importance of the ageing courtier. Whether he was being browbeaten by his wife or trying to remember the age of his daughter or compromising on the business of Hermione’s guilt, he was always giving a plausible performance and gave sense to his ignominious end in the greedy jowls of a passing bear.

15 unintelligible upper class accents but his rendering of "On the street where you live” as a semi-spoken lover’s lament convinced them that this was a predominantly humorous characterisation. Gillian Tribe as Mrs. Pearce contributed a good portrait of the calm practical housekeeper accustomed by years of looking after Professor Higgins to any degree of eccentric and tyrannical behaviour. She was particu­ larly good in the early scenes when the disreputable and touchy Eliza arrived to demand elocution lessons from Higgins. Gillian conveyed well a blend of steady common sense and practical concern at the new situation imposed on the household by Higgins’ determination to educate Eliza for a bet. As Higgins’ partner to the bet. Colonel Pickering, Julian Hop- wood gave a nicely judged performance of bland imperturbability and occasional mild outrage at Higgins’ more extreme behaviour. His telephone conversations with Scotland Yard and his old school friend “Boozie” were very neatly timed pieces of comic acting. The supporting role which won the most delighted response from the audience was that of Mrs. Higgins, played with unshakable composure and impeccable diction by Marian GrafTham. As Eliza’s father, Michael Watson gave Doolittle a powerful stage presence and vocal strength, but he did not quite succeed in conveying the unscrupulous charm and plausibility of the dustman prepared to sell his daughter to Professor Higgins whilst expounding his unique moral code to him. However, later in the play when, overtaken by material wealth and middle class morality, he has to marry Eliza’s "My Fair Lady" mother, Michael rose to the occasion and, resplen­ dent in morning dress, lamented his ill-fortune in the the last week of the Summer Term was most entertaining manner.

Just waiting for his breakfast, Then humans come Perhaps a fly or two. and break the web. They laugh to see the beauty fall, Or sitting in the sunshine, To see it rip and tear away, Slung across a bough, They’d cry if it was -their home gone, Wishing he were nicer, their food, their life.

i J Old Woman SUSAN INMAN, M6 Erato's Song The floors were marble, glitter—deep like sunshine And glass Here the Titans stride But 1 could keep my feet Steel-frowning glare their eyes Though the thought of falling frightens, In blind gloom thoughts Styx-deep Hands held me tight, willed upon a wish Slide and scar this bare bone sky. Understanding and helping to reassure. No sleep from secret fears Here I live aeon-old All the while the sun never set And cast stone splinters black back into vile Cocytus But shone like lemon in the dusk which never came Who drifts and broods and drifts away: For here it never comes unless you fall His harsh roars drown the cavern walls. And the hands were there. Soothing in sleep, star-filled in sunlight Whines Boreas: a long and soft lament I slept cloistered in dreams. Free feelings, free, blow and blasted Like water crystal—thin but falling: 1 Self-banished, a sculptured rapid shadow Crystals like snow I remain, Crystals like frost Confined within my mind the song bursts Crystals like ice i 1 find new hope but hope is lost a ghost. Crystals like lime, crystal-cool. Far away Cool like summer evenings The drums are dying And like hush of forests, cool but warm. Tuned like tempests Green made the morning from clouds The last hush of night before the dawn And walked barefooted I saw The owls long dead spit and scorn the sky New lights, gold gleams and heard Dew morning blue and buffs the moon The rhythm of happy people hurrying for the future. Too soon, too soon, well the words For the future was coming: A breath of life shivered in my ear: I told myself it was coming “The shroud stirs: there is life here.” 1 And it would be as their future would be. Stirring the song echoes echoes stirring the song I almost believed Whose song?

Rings around the tears, free from joy Evening was coming, the song in its last refrain. A new day’s dawning, rose in the snow f Empty of wine And I can feel the breeze against my face. They pressed promises upon me, come again The first time free the wind came and Flew me from the well up until the sky was clear I couldn’t say goodbye And echoes haunted me. Be free No-one was crying Free, be free, be free and soar No-one cries here Skybound in the wind No-one is scarred, for pain’s a wound I couldn’t say goodbye: And all are warm, It was a one sided farewell The raven is a blackbird, God forbids it Like half a kiss And even the graves shine And I had returned, cold as seas. And friends can walk and laugh. Did I feel a stranger? A new land, old A short time I think I did. A land of glacial crosses But they pressed wine upon me, and you pressed The same skulls, the same leers wine upon me They grin like maniac paintings stoned in profile And the hall echoed with joy—songs long into the Here their eyes shine like hungry lice day. And mouths of blood and teeth are sharp.

22 Here dreams are dreams and stay the same All is still, no life, still life. They never change I watch myself walk So many mirrors when no-one’s there Closer Voices calling I hear my footsteps hesitate, crumble into ash. Bounce and boom Late in the day the stars come out Boom and bounce But too too far away Call voices But not tonight: —Which still the same replies Tonight’s too late The wine is gone, dry and dead For the vacuum has but one song The apples fallen, the sun is set. And that’s been sung Fled and dead The wine The song’s been sung. i The tomb opens An empty attraction drifts me there. RYSZARD PIETROVVSKI, m6
