TASIS TODAY Fall 2014
TASIS TODAY Fall 2014 A Magazine for Alumni and Friends of The American School In Switzerland The new high-tech Campo Science Center in the heart of the campus From the Chairman Dear Alumni and Friends of TASIS, As the years speed by, it is good to reflect on the highlights of the year since our last TASIS Today. A century after the beginning of World War I, the world again seems to be slipping out of control, with the various horrors perpetrated by human beings on other human beings. In the affluent West, many seem to be losing their moral compass, and even the awareness of a moral universe—or agreement on what is right and what is wrong. 2 At TASIS we try to keep a steady hand on the rudder of our moral vessel to maintain an ethical, professional environment, a climate of mutual respect and human concern, where young people can learn and grow in a safe and inspiring setting and strengthen their God-given, fundamental judgment in differentiating right from wrong, good from evil, true from false, worthy from valueless. As my mother, Mrs. Fleming, often said, “Times change, values don’t.” So many good things are happening at TASIS, summer and winter. Surrounded by beauty, our students, from the youngest of 4 to the oldest of 18, are immersed in a truly loving and caring environment where they have numerous opportunities to learn and grow in wisdom and goodness, have life-enhancing experiences, and make long-lasting friendships, as so many of our alumni know. -

Pieter Snyman, Springbok-Soldier 1940-43
Pieter Snyman, Springbok-soldier 1940-43 A brief summary by Leon Bezuidenhout, March 2008 Earliest years Peter Johannes Jacobus (Pieter) Snyman was born in Zeerust on April 6, 1919. As 18 month-old, he survived the dreaded child-paralysing meningitis. His family moved from Zeerust to Johannesburg during the Great Depression when his father’s company collapsed, like many others. Pieter was an athletic and active child who participated in every possible sport. He thrived on action and was highly competitive. As a 20 year-old in September 1939, he and some friends were cavorting at Heidelberg kloof when a car sped down the dirt road, sounding the horn. The passengers yelled: “It’s war! War!” South Africa was plunged into the Second World War. As politics were not a topic of conversation in Pieter’s house, he wasn’t overly concerned about the cause for the war. He saw adventure. But war would irreversibly change his life. An adventure- seeker, he would later admit that there was nothing glamorous about war. “Nothing good” came from it – only disillusionment. Soldier and the Crusade in Abyssinia On April 17, 1940, Pieter Snyman walked through the gates of Sonderwater Training Base, east of Pretoria, where the infantry received training. His first choice was to be an Air force pilot, but his mother was adamant that her son stayed on solid ground, and promptly destroyed the application forms. After basic training, Pieter was sent to the South African Irish Regiment – true army irony: a “Boerseun” from Zeerust among the Irish! Pieter, the driver – always ready for action. -

It continued this service until August 1880. During this year it was acquired by builders in part payment for the Servia and Catalonia. It was then sold to the Guion Line. It began to serve its old route, Liverpool to New York, under its new owners. In 1882 it was taken out of service so that compound engines could be fitted by J.Jones & Sons, Liverpool. The service for the Guion Line continued until March 1886. During the period 1887-91 it ran on the Pacific for Canadian Pacific. It returned, again, to the Liverpool-New York route in November 1891. Its return, however, was brief as the Abyssinia was destroyed by fire at sea on 18 December of that year. There was no loss of life as passengers and crew were picked up by the Spree, a Norddeutscher Lloyd liner.
