Four EDITORIAL

A compromising independence: in his poem, The Waste Land, T. S. Eliot advocates "Datta ... Dayedhiram ...Damyata "-the three commands of the thunder. The quality of independence is a compromise of all three­ giving, sympathising, showing self�control. Especially does the paradox of a compromising independence apply to a seventh form. Examination of this idea is an integral part of the study of the seventh form situation; a major contemporary educational inadequacy, it is triggered by transition.

Preconceptions are regularly misconceptions. Some such misconceptions accompany the transition from the secondary to the tertiary (phase). In regarding the seventh form year as a " trial run" for university, seventh formers look for symptoms to indicate the loosening of the bond with the school and with its tradition, the symptoms of the " blissful state of permanent exemption".However, because of the more formidable challenge the univer� sity year poses, the incentive it inspires contributes towards its relatively greater success.

Evolving is the concept of the " need for incentive ", the absent in� gredient, the integral component. Here, the education system is at fault. The aim of the majority is Higher School Certificate: the ratio of financial benefit to effort required for the Bursary is such as to discourage rather than encourage those requiring that extra effort.The award of the Certificate, however, is almost automatic. Students camouflage themselves in the security of the award with as much complacency as the pessimism with which they regard their chances in the examination.For the majority of students there exists a total lack of incentive.

Ideally, the need for incentive should be a declining one-one supposes that this was the outlook of the education authority. The problem then rests with decreasing the present reliance upon incentive, by increasing the rate of mental and psychological maturation. Since maturity is a gradual process, this rate must be being suppressed in the lower school. What is the function of the lower school? Too often we are unconscious of function; function of teacher, subject, or even function of education.Teachers have often failed in their objective of mental stimulation because of a communication difficulty. Inspection of the classroom situation reveals that the usually defined " pool of ideas" is, in most cases, barely a puddle. This is obviously inadequate. Emergent is the lack of independence and the blanket of conformity engulfing contemporary youth. It is a " conformity in non�conformity ", a conformity, nevertheless, which is just as suppressively restrictive. Independence means a shedding of this cloak. Independence leads to a fuller participation in the classroom and develops a greater mental maturity. In that the pooling of ideas is an integration of thought, this independence must be a compromising one.

This year three boys from the School were selected to travel to the States as American Field Scholars. They were Bruce Stirling, Neil McDowell and Pete Christmas. All three left just before the end of the second term and will return in a year's time. As well as having three boys away, we have Bob Haverty from the U.S. in the School. He arrived in the first term and leaves again late January. He has taken part in many school projects, the most notable being his organisation and election to President of the School Council. To the delight and amusement of pupils of Girls' High, he spent a week there, reportedly interrupt­ ing many sunbathing sessions with his unexpected and untimely appearances.Otaki Scliola,•

This years Otaki Scholar was Scott Murray and his host in Invercargill was the Head Prefect, Arthur Ballantyne. After being welcomed off the express on Monday, 16th August, Scott spent the afternon looking round the town and joining in a training run with the 1st XV. Tuesday saw a sightseeing trip around South­ land-Bluff in particular-followed by an entertaining discussion with the 7th Form. That evening Scott saw the second death of Ned Kelly at the School's hall. On Wednesday, Scott and his host were sponsored on a spectacular plane trip over Fiordland. This really impressed Scott because it was the first time he had seen such mountainous country close up. The afternoon was spent relaxing on the Otatara golf links. After having morning tea with the Mayor on Thursday morning, Scott was farewelled by the Rector and his host family non JlAVEllTY and continued his journey to Queenstown. Scott was a very friendly laddie, rolling his " r's ·· perfectly and wearing his kilt with distinction. It was a pity the rest of the School had no time to see his lively Scotch personality but time would not permit it.

Twenty-seve,i A,·t Notes

The year l 971 will forever remain indelibly etc bed on the hearts and minds of all who entered the hallowed confines of Prefab. 31 ( alias the Art Room). It can truly be said that never has so little been done by so many for so few! Being so new to the job, the art teacher, who prefers to remain anonymous, also learnt a lot-about people, about art, and about the world in general. The Art Department has had its share of fame, in­ herited in no small way from the legacy left by Mrs. Wilson. Bryan Poole and Mark De La Mare spent a most exciting and productive week in Wellington attend­ ing a National Bank Art Workshop together with selected students from other secondary schools through­ out the country. Brent Hagan, from the Fifth Form, won first prize with a design for the Chamber of Music programme cover. He also went to Wellington to re­ ceive his prize and was taken on visits to a Design Studio, the Polytechnic, and Art Galleries in the city. As well as practical work on a modest scale ( apart from the School float, that is), most classes have, at various times throughout the year, visited the Museum, where exhibitions of paintings and sculpture have been displayed. The value of these displays is exemplified by a more tolerant student attitude towards each individual artist and his work. The windows on the west side of the Art Room have provided a continuing source of interest as we watch the new block being built. Hopefully, the new­ ness of the building will engender in some thoughtless people a spirit of tidiness and pride in their surround­ ings, and that next year the lucky occupants of the new Art Room will go, in their art work, from strength to strength.

In many respects, the Library is like a good pair of shoes-vital to the well-being of the wearer but usually unnoticed unless giving trouble. We would like to think that we have had another year of being " unnoticed " in this respect. Among the more pleasing aspects of life in the Library this year have been regular donations of books from school-leavers and Old Boys. Particularly generous was the P.T.A. plan to have a library night where books were displayed, for purchase by parents. We are grateful to those parents who took advantage of this opportunity to have their gift added to the shelves. In spite of rising costs and other usual troubles asso­ ciated with libraries, we have to report another very successful year when book issues, new book numbers and fines have all increased. Most boys have shown a very responsible attitude to the use of the Library and this is an encouraging sign for next year.

RECTOR'S REPORT

The Chairman, Southland High Schools' Board, Invercargill. Sir, I am pleased, in presenting the ninetieth annual report of Southland Boys' High School, to record a most successful year in all activities of the School. In academic work and results, in cultural and sporting activities, and in its good discipline and spirit the School has more than maintained its position as one of the leading schools of New Zealand. I wish to express my appreciation of the hard work of the staff, of the major contribution made by the boys, and of the support given by parents, the Old Boys' Association, and the Board in achieving this. In spite of a few changes, the staffing of the School has been more stable than for many years, and since October we have had a full staff of permanently appointed teachers for the roll predicted for 1972. I especially want to thank those staff who have carried extra burdens during the year, particularly Mr. Thyne, Mr. Scott and Mr. J. C. Alabaster who took early morning classes. I wish to thank the women staff members who have contributed so much to the work and life of the School-we are pleasedJ. to have a number of them on the permanent staff. I par­ ticularly appreciate the work of the Heads of Departments in directing the professional work of the School. I thank Mr. C. Alabaster, who from time to time during Mr. Martin"s absences and illness has acted most competently as Deputy Principal. This year the boys themselves have taken a very active part in organising School activi­ ties and the School spirit has been very good-the Work Day which raised $3,000 towards the new gymnasium project, the Tour Committee in raising funds for the First XV"s tour of the North Island, and at the end of the year a ·· pop " concert organised by senior boys enabled a donation to be made to the Commonwealth Games appeal. Senior boys have played a very active part in running, organising and controlling School activities, such as shooting, rowing and athletics, social activities, making nominations and recommendations for awards and prizes; and the Junior School are taking an increasing part in School affairs through the Junior Council. I am very pleased that the Parent Teacher Association has seen fit to co-opt two senior boys to the Executive Committee this year. Backing up the many boys concerned in organising School activities is the majority who set high standards themselves and are pcepared to maintain those set by the School. As a consequence we have far fewer worries over discipline than most schools. We do have a small percentage at all levels who are in conflict with what the School stands for, and almost Sixty invariably the causes are found outside the School. These boys fall into two groups: (I) those from homes where the stresses of personal relationships and of modern society are not coped with; (2) those from affluent homes where materialistic outlooks and over-permissive attitudes hold sway. Where the home and the school are in close touch and lines of communication with the boys are open there is every opportunity for us to cope with educational and social problems that concern us all. Our education system has moved over a century from stress on literacy, to education for a vocation, to a major concern with how to cope with life in an urban industrial society. Within a generation there has been a major shift of emphasis in education that P.arents and the com'.1.'unity find hard to accept. However, in encouraging young people to do their_ own thing_ the School stresses that they have no monopoly of honesty, integrity Juniorand idealism, and that the society they inherit has its achievements as well as its failures.

School With a reduced intake this year we applied the benefit in the Junior School and reduced class sizes, the largest Third Form having a roll of 27. Although the intake for 1972 has increased, we have set a maximum class size for next year of 28 throughout Third and Fourth Forms. As has been our practice for many years, we have not had a course organisation in the Junior School and have not permitted specialisation till after School Certificate. We propose a reorganisation over the next two years to give a broader choice of non-academic subjects to boys and will follow the lines at present under discussion in P.P.T.A. and in the Depart­ ment of Education. We have already extended physical education to include theory and health education and propose replacing core art, craft and music with selected courses taken to a greater depth. Last year's School Certificate results were excellent and the single subject pass system does encourage greater effort generally. It serves as an incentive for the boy prepared to work, whatever his level of ability. We have, however, a small group of boys who lack the incentive to work and who spent a year at school with the intention of sitting one or two subjects-in general, their year at school is wasted time and they would gain more satisfaction from taking the plunge and going to work.

Senior School The award of five University Junior Scholarships in two years, including three last year, strongly supported by Bursary awards, is a record few schools in the country and none in Otago or Southland, can match. These results are, moreover, not achieved as a result of special classes, forcing or accelerating boys, or sacrificing educational goals for examination results. They come from high-quality students prepared to work hard and staff who give their utmost. I support the single subject award system for Sixth Form Certificate and moves to intro­ duce the single subject pass system for University Entrance, but the two systems must be integrated. The Universities Entrance Board proposals, as indicated in the trial single subject accrediting scheme Principals have this year been asked to apply, is quite incompatible with the system of the Sixth Form Certificate awards. The most notable curriculum change has been the introduction this year of accountancy and economics in Form 7 as Bursary subjects. This should have far-reaching effects-it will make commerce a top-level academic course-in our case from Third Form level-and it will break the dominance of the mathematics-science specialisation in the Senior School. With two well-qualified teachers, Mr. East and Mr. McIntosh, in this field we have been able to Extra-curriculardevelop the course Activities from the start.

Many of the cultural activities of the School are closely linked with curricular activities as well as occupying staff and boys outside school hours. Mr. McIntosh, those assisting him off stage, and the cast staged a very successful dramatic production " Ned Kelly " at the end of Term 2. Two musical groups, classical and "pop", represented the School at the N.Z. Chamber Music Federation's contests in Dunedin, and the "pop" group has been active in social activities and informal concerts. School debating teams have been active in very many inter-school contests and the No. 2 team won the Southland Competitions Society's secondary schools' debating trophy. Art has continued to be strong, two beys from the School being selected for the National Bank's art workshop week in Wellington and Brent Hagen winning the N.Z. Chamber Music Federation's programme design award. School sporting activities are considered an offshoot of our physical education programme, and if at all possible boys are expected to take part in one or more sports. Few people realise the range of sports catered for in the School or the high standards achieved overall. In only two sports do School First teams play Southland schools and in many cases they are competing in senior or open men's grades. Sixty-one In cricket the First XI are Senior Reserve Grade champions, in rowing the School crews share Otago-Southland honours with Otago Boys' High School, in shooting our team was fourth in the National Rifle Association's secondary schools' championship at Trentham, and in cycling a School team competing in the Sir Bernard Fergusson trophy event at Levin was fourth. The School holds the Collegiate trophy for inter-secondary school swimming. In winter sports the First Rugby XV won the S.R.F.U. Third Grade competition and was undefeated in its inter-school fixtures and in its North Island tour. The Second XV playing local secondary schools was runner-up in the Fourth Grade, and Sixth and Seventh Grade XV's won their championships. Both First and Second Soccer Xi's play_ in Senior Men's Grades, and the Fifth Grade A XI won its competition. The First Hockey XI plays in the open Senior Grade. In harriers, School teams won all four secondary schools' cross-country teams events. Badminton is now an official School sport and two players are top national ranking players. In addition, School teams have top-level performances in indoor basketball, athletics, tennis and fencing. We greatly appreciate the work of staff members and some parents who spend much time in coaching and supervising teams and groups. We take even greater pride in the conduct awards won for the School. The first four rugby teams won the Southland Referees' Association's Jubilee Cup, the First and Second Soccer Xi's won the conduct cups for their grades, and the First Hockey XI was runner-up for the Senior Men's Conduct Cup.

It is pleasing to note that " Coldstream " has overcome the financial and management Coldstreamproblems of the last few years, and our thanks go to Mrs. E. S. King, hostel manageress, and the staff for their work in controlling the hostel. We are concerned, however, that the admission of students attending James Hargest High School may result in the exclusion of boys wishing to attend this School. Previous Boards have always looked on " Coldstream " as an integral part of Southland Boys· High School. and we have taken great pride in having it as such. The establishment of " Cold­ stream" was for many years a dream of this School, a previous Rector, Dr. G. Uttley, even set up on his own initiative a boarding establishment in the Rectory, at one stage the founda­ tions for a School hostel were laid out on what is now No. I rugby ground, and the realisation of the dream came about through the determined efforts of parents, of the Southland Boys' High School Old Boys' Association, and of Mr. D. A. McDonald, Chairman of the Board, and himself an Old Boy of the School. In recent years much of the laying-out of grounds has been done by the Rector and the Old Boys' Association. The Board's drastic action, necessary as it was this year, was taken only after warnings over the previous three years of the situation developing. If the admission of James Hargest students is continued on the present basis parents wishing their sons to attend Southland Boys' High School must continue to look, as they have done for fifteen years since "Cold­ stream's " establishment, to schools outside Southland because of uncertainty of acceptance here. This is of particular concern to boys wishing to take agriculture and commerce, courses offered by this School only. I have offered this year, and expect next year to have to assist parents in finding private board for boys enrolled at Southland Boys' High School if accommo­ dation is not available at " Coldstream ". Some claims have been made that hostel accommodation should be available for students wishing to attend co-educational schools. The educational opportunities for such students are far greater than for those wishing to attend Southland Boys' High School and Southland Girls' High School. A major source of boarders for " Coldstream " was the Central Southland area, now catered for by Central Southland College, and Menzies College will in the same way increasingly cater for such students in its contributing area. Gore High School is a co-educational school whose hostel is facing financial difficulties, and our contributing areas overlap considerably in the north and the east. Furthermore, Education Department policies on bus transport for country students will ultimately, with the move of Southland College to the Waikiwi area, prevent country students from attending the two central single sex schools. It is essential, therefore, that the Board give priority of acceptance at " Coldstream " to students wishing to attend Southland Boys' High School, and that it pursue a very active policy of attracting to "Coldstream " those who continue to enrol at schools outside Southland.

I must express our very great appreciation of the financial support, the interest, and the loyaltyParent Teacherof the Parent Association Teacher Association and of the work done by the President, Mr. F. W. Mark, and the Executive of the Association. Parent Teacher Association donations to School prizes are very substantial and so, too, are their contributions to the purchase of equipment. Parent Teacher Association support will enable us to set up a School canteen next year, and Parent Teacher Association action has made a major contribution to dealing with malicious gossip that beset the School last year. A strong Parent Teacher Association with an intimate interest in the professional side of the School, and in the welfare of the students, is more essential to the School than ever as the Board, of necessity, in controlling five schools becomes increasingly concerned with the administration of education generally.

Sixty-two For the last twenty years the educational system of New Zealand has been co-educa­ tional.General In Southland there are six co-educational and two single sex schools and of necessity the majority of students must attend co-educational schools. Single sex schools for the last twenty years have accepted that they are a minority group, and have wasted no time on futile arguments. They have got on with the job, welcoming the growth of competition, adjust­ ing curricula and methods to modern approaches, and building on their successful traditions to continue achieving first-class results. On the other side, the single sex schools have to cope with at least a lack of sympathy and often a downright determination to ·· cut them down to size ·· in educational circles, whether these are in the Education Department, in P.P.T.A. and teachers' organisations, or among academic educationalists. With the _growth of large co-educational schools they are increasingly suffering staffing penalties. P.P.T.A. recently carried out an investigation on the size of schools; instead of an education policy on sizes and staffing of schools has come a decision that single sex schools would be restricted in roll to below 1,000, and that co­ educational schools over 1,000 should be given special staffing allowances. From professional educational circles in universities and teachers' colleges come almost continuous attacks on single sex schools, most of them being attacks on a system that no longer exists. Time and again the presentation of goals and ideals accepted by most educationalists, and examinations of the deficiencies of the past, are diverted into attacks on single sex schools. Very often venom is added to the attacks by jealousy of the outstanding success that these schools continue to have as they adopt new approaches and philosophies. This School and other single sex schools have no intention of becoming the victims of a well-known weakness of the New Zealand character-an intolerance of the outstanding, and a determination to reduce the excellent to mediocrity. For ninety years Southland Boys' High School has held a dominant position in the educational life of Southland. Its staff before and after World War II were some of the prime movers in the educational revolution that produced the T!.omas Report and the system that has developed today. In recent years staff of Southland Boys' High School have, with small groups throughout the country, pioneered new approaches in the sciences, in mathe­ matics, in social studies, in languages, and in guidance work. Their contribution to the cultural education of young people in art, and, in association with Southland Girls' High School, in drama, in musical activities, and in the social life of its students has been outstanding. The anoroach we are developing in physical education is years ahead of most of New Zealand schools. We have met and will continue to meet the challenges of new methods, new approaches, and new philosophies, and we will continue to maintain without compromise the standards which the School has maintained throughout its history.
