Editorial

Since this is the last magazine to be issued by Godaiming Grammar School, it is necessary to look not only at the present but also at the future. Unfortunately, one of the main characteristics of the school recently, as far as societies are con­ cerned, has been apathy. There seems a general lack of interest in school activities. We can only hope this attitude will change, but this depends on you personally.

This magazine is not simply a collection of reports, shame-facedly inter­ spersed with some creative writing, but rather a record of the school and an interesting journal. We believe it will be especially of use to new students as a guide to the possible activities in which they can participate. •a We wish the school, under its new name of Godaiming College, the best of luck for the future.

He became a First Class Referee for the Southern League and Football Combination, and a Linesman for the Football League. The School was fortunate in being able to benefit from his expert knowledge of the game, during his earlier years on the staff. Whilst teaching Chemistry at the School he became Moderator in Science for the Welsh Joint Examination Board and Assistant Examiner at “A” Level for the University of London. He had the pleasure of seeing his three children, Peter, Caroline and Bill, all pass through the School, and each achieve distinction in his or her own right. The Staff will miss Phil from the Common Room, with his knowledge of financial matters, football and crosswords, and the School has lost a first class teacher and beloved figure, who will be hard to replace.

“much Ado About Nothing” is one of the come­ dies of Shakespeare’s middle period and its humour­ ous effect is derived to a tremendous extent from the verbal flourishes and sallies of wit which consti­ tute a large part of its content. In this play, the main protagonists, Beatrice and Benedick battle inexorably towards mutual love against a current of intrigue and suspicion which is eventually swept away and, at the end, happiness is restored. Not that we have any doubt that it will be—the play is a happy one and any obstacle in the way of that happiness is slight, vanquished easily upon investigation and, in fact, eventually proved to be the “nothing” of the title. Neil Martin’s production brought out clearly the essential happiness of the play in the “wit” and cleverness of the interchanges between Beatrice and Benedick, the harmless scheme to bring these two mortal enemies together and the final pleasure when all doubt has been dispelled and the young couple Much Ado About Nothing are brought together.

16 during the last week of the Summer Term, two performances of “Sweeney Todd, the Barber" were given in the school hall. The company, with the producer, Neil Martin and musical director, Tony Williams, demonstrated admirably and enjoyably that neither external nor internal examinations had dimmed their talents or energy. The conventions of a Victorian melodrama set to music gave plenty of opportunities for good acting and singing and a great deal of humour. One source of great entertainment for the audience was that as < Sweeney Todd confided to us at frequent intervals his inmost thoughts and evil plans, we were well aware of who were his intended victims. “I'll have to polish him off”, he would cry and despite ' vociferous warnings from the Chorus and audience, various innocents would be despatched. In this man­ ner went Ezechiel Smith, the workman, played with sturdy competence by Andrew Sharland, and Jean Parmine, the jeweller, well played by Julian Hyams. More serious, one would have imagined for the plot was the apparent killing of the hero, Mark Ingestre, halfway through the first half but with remarkable resilience, he returned in relatively full health and strength in the second half, even if occasionally bathed in greenish light.

Who Knows? The cavern’s darkness overpowers light, The Crowd Like day taken over by night, Outside is the crowd. Something mystical drawing closer, Inside is the throne, Surrounded by its own white darkness. And the Overlord. What is it, is it love or solitude? Who knows? Whatever it is, it has life: no death, just life. Outside is tumult. It brings expectancy, this thing. Inside is quiet, What is it, is it love or solitude? Who knows? At the death of Eternity. I am net horror struck at seeing a white nothing. Outside is Democracy. Or am I? Who knows? Inside is Despotism, I feel a girlish freedom in the dawn. For the one who’s there.

The Sunset

The sun, The glaciers creak, Like a golden pool, As they gradually move towards the sea, Descends from its throne. As the ice pack by slow degrees disintegrates. Behind the rime-covered trees, The unthawed streams. It sinks. Reveal the fishes trapped below Beneath the barren wastes. As tiny creatures turn in their long winter sleep. It glints. The sun has gone On the icicles, the snow crystals all. And all is quiet, As the last ounce of light drains from the sky. Except the wolf pack on its nightly prowl. The northern lights appear, EMMA MAITLAND, 2F One by one, And wink in the slowly darkening sky.

Old Mr. Wimble had a cat And one old overcoat and a straw boater hat. He lived in a house, out on the moor. With glassless windows and a hingeless door! A fireless grate and a sheetless bed, His poor old nose was always red. Late one night a strong wind blew. The storm got worse, it grew and grew. Mr. Wimble shivered and shook, He peered through the windows with a frightened look. The house was weak. It creaked and groaned. Poor Mr. Wimble mumbled and moaned. Then, without warning, with a creak and a groan. The house fell down, Mr. Wimble was alone. He stood for a moment, with his hands to his head. Then he fell to the ground, and lay there—dead!

I very much regret that the Old Godhelmian news is so scant. This is due to the lack of contact as the Committee have decided that the only event which is supported is a biennial dinner. The matter, however, has been very much aggravated by the decision to publish the “Surrey Advertiser” daily. Much information was gleaned in the past from the weekly paper, but now that it is daily it is an impossible task to plough through all the pages.
