November 2017 JBA Newsletter NEWSLETTER November 2017 The Johannesburg skyline provides a beautiful backdrop to the Jeppe campus. – Photo courtesy of Roy Goncalves (Class of 1990) State of the School by Dale Jackson (class of 1990) I have had the privilege of being involved at Jeppe High School for Boys over the past 30 years. Initially, as a pupil and more recently an educator and member of the executive team. In my opinion, the School has never before been in as strong or as healthy a position in the 127 years of its history, as it is now. Thanks primarily to the generosity and support of Old Boys and certain past parents, our campus has undergone a complete transformation over the past few years with in excess of R15 million having been spent on various upgrades and improvements during this time. This has had a positive correlation on the quality of enrolment into the School, our ability to attract and retain top academic and sporting staff, a significant increase in the number of boarders (currently 285 boys out of 1000 pupils), an exponential improvement in our academic performance and a well publicised and successful sporting and cultural programme. From an extra-mural perspective, whilst the performance of the 1st XV was disappointing this past winter season it must be remembered that 12 of the starting fifteen were in Grade 10 or Grade 11 and next year should therefore be an exciting year, particularly when one considers that our U16 team were very highly ranked with 8 provincial players and that both our 1st XV coaches are also the coaches of the Golden Lions team that won the Craven Week. Hockey on the other hand, had a hugely successful season with Jeppe becoming the first school ever to win the Aitken Cup (third year in a row), Boden trophy (second year in a row) and U16 Top 8 competition in the same year. Our U14's were unbeaten and the future for Jeppe hockey thus looks extremely bright. A young 1st team waterpolo side are expected to compete for tournament wins over the next two years, the rowing section continues to compete with the best private schools in the country, our Pipe Band narrowly lost out as SA Champions and will be touring Basel again next year, our choir and marimba band are growing and our cricket section, where our U14A's are unbeaten, is also continuing to show steady signs of improvement. On the soccer field, our U14's won the Parktown tournament and a young 1st XI are also highly rated whilst our athletics team came closer than ever before to winning inter-high and, with one or two world class athletes in particular, continue to close the gap on KES. For those Old Boys who doubt the continued improvement and above successes currently being experienced at the School, I would like to invite you, on behalf of the School's Executive, staff and pupils to come for a visit to the campus and to experience first-hand the pride and joy which the boys have in their school and their desire to continue creating a future worthy of our past. It has also been heartening to see, under the leadership, guidance and drive of Rob Katzen, the continued growth within the Old Boy structures with a number of younger old boys and experienced businessmen joining the Committee and a variety of Old Boys having pledged their support to the various future capital projects at the school. The final term of the year sees various farewells for Mr Dempsey, our beloved headmaster of the past decade who has decided to take an early, and much deserved, retirement. Mr Dempsey has built on the successes of those headmasters who went before him and under his tenure the School has taken giant leaps forward in so many areas. A new headmaster will hopefully be in place by the beginning of 2018. In closing, from a school management perspective, we would like to once again thank our Old Boy community for their ongoing support and generosity. As we have often said before, our Old Boys and the Jeppe family remain our biggest competitive advantage and are integral to the continued success and vision for Jeppe to lead the way in public boys' schools in both Gauteng and South Africa. We look forward to you our old boy community joining us in the next phase of this exciting journey. Mr Dempsey’s Farewell Mr Dempsey’s emotional and moving final formal assembly was held on Thursday 12 October, before the matrics officially commenced their year-end examinations. The whole school, Mr Dempsey’s family and invited guests from the other Jeppe Schools and the Gauteng Department of Education were in attendance. It was a most special occasion, with one of the highlights for Mr Dempsey being, his son, Byron, experiencing for the first time, his dad in his work environment interacting with the boys. Mr Jackson gave an incredible “true-from-the-heart” speech which justly honoured the man that is Mr Dempsey. Joshua Harrison, Headboy of 2017, delivered a farewell on behalf of the boys. He also presented Mr Dempsey with a poem written by one of the boys, which had been engraved on pewter, his farewell gift from the learners. Mr Dempsey then gave his final address to the staff and learners after which he received a standing ovation from all. The assembly was concluded with the school war cry and a boys’ guard of honour. It was a wonderful occasion befitting the farewell of a dedicated and committed Headmaster. Notice of Memorial Service for Mr Mark Grace It is with much sadness that we inform the Jeppe community of the passing of much loved Jeppe educator and Old Boy (class of 1974), Mr Mark Grace who passed away on Wednesday, 8th November after a short, but bravely fought, battle with pancreatic cancer. Mark taught at Jeppe from 1980 until 2009 (unbroken except for a year long spell at KES in 2003) when he left to take up the headmastership at St James Preparatory School in Jeppestown. Mark was a legendary educator whom many Jeppe Old Boys cite as their favourite educator during their time at the School and who had a profound impact on the lives of so many within the Jeppe community. The condolences of the entire Jeppe community go out to Mark's wife, Elize (who is still teaching at the school after 35 years) and children David (also an educator at Jeppe) and Diana. In honour of Mark's contribution to the School, and at the family's request, there will be a memorial service in the Memorial Hall at Jeppe High School for Boys on Saturday, 18th November at 10AM. All members of the Jeppe family are welcome to attend. Armistice Day Service Reunion Weekend The weekend commenced with a special Old Boys Assembly. The boys sat in respectful awe as Derek Cooper (class of 1957) read the following poem that he wrote for the occasion. “Forti Nihil Difficilius” For a hundred years and more We entered the Dashwood gates Sixty years must take its toll Jeppe High has proudly stood Shy, smiling, callow youths Time is the ultimate thief On its rocky granite outcrop We left five short years later In remembering first those dead A beacon of all that’s good Bearing bright universal truths Fond thoughts will ‘ssuage our grief Through Highveld dust and storm What of those universal truths How they swam and caught and ran Summer heat and winter cold Which shone for us so bright? Made their mark each so unique South Africans by the score Are they still as true tonight Let their memory burn tonight Have been tempered in its mould Or stale, outdated trite? Well defined and not oblique The sons of this great school Let us reflect on some of these Today we view our past Have carried its proud banner With full minds, not just a pose With its certainty not dimmed To fields of wide endeavour “Play the game and not the man Clothed in our present garb In fearless Jeppe manner Respect those that you oppose” With Jeppe values trimmed This class of fifty-seven “Strive to win, not at all costs Will the future be as bright? It, too, has done its part They are rivals, not deadly foes” It’s not for us to know And played the game of life It is these simple maxims Only this tonight is certain With a truly Jeppe heart Which in us like fire still glows Our lives will ebb and flow “Forti Nihil Difficilius” As we gather here tonight We, too, will leave the scene -Nothing too difficult for the brave- In warm, pleasant reverie To younger, stronger men Is a passionate rallying call Let us spare a wistful thought So farewell! Class of “57 We all carry to our grave For those we cannot see We’ll meet, we know not when And when we do it’s certain The cry from all of us Will ring true then as it does now “Forti Nihil Difficilius!” The assembly concluded with the Old Boys joining the school in the war cry and were then given a guard of honour by the current learners as they left the hall. The evening festivities kicked off with an address by Anton Dempsey, Dale Jackson (class of 1990) and Rob Katzen (class of 1986), highlighting recent achievements, challenges and future plans for the school. The Old Boys from the years of 1957, 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997 and 2007 then moved to their respective venues to enjoy some much needed refreshments while catching up with old friends The class of 2007 below left and the class of 1957 with invited guests on the right.

  • For the Glory of Sport
    For The Glory Of Sport The story of the Commonwealth Games from 1930 to 2014 By Bob Phillips Author€s Note The Commonwealth Games have always been particularly close to my heart in a lifetime of a passionate interest in sport. I saw them for the first time as a teenage fan in Cardiff in 1958 € when they were still known as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games € and was captivated then by the marvellous deeds of the athletes on a cinder track fitted tightly round the hallowed turf of the celebrated Arms Park rugby-football ground. Lithe and lightning-fast sprinters from the Caribbean islands, rugged middle-distance and long-distance runners from Australia and New Zealand, a gloriously fluent quarter-miler from India, jumpers and throwers from what then seemed such exotic far-flung corners of the globe as Fiji, North Borneo and Singapore € it was all intensely exciting and laid the foundations for what would be for me many more such delightful adventures to come as a professional journalist and broadcaster. Even so, there were only 35 countries competing at those Games of more than half-a-century ago. In Glasgow this year there will be twice that number. The Games have grown out of all recognition, but in the process of so doing they have managed to maintain an intimacy € even a coziness, if you like € which so many of the other forms of international sport have long since shunned in the relentless interests of commercialism. This is a favoured theme of mine which you will find recurring throughout this history of the Commonwealth Games € call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but there are inherent qualities of fair play, of sportsmanship, of comradely competition among members of a vastly extended but affectionate family, which have survived over more than 80 years at these Games, though not entirely unscathed, and they are not widely in evidence elsewhere these days.
