Many nations, once fair and prosperous, lie naked and gutted, whilst others locked in fearful struggle, kill, destroy, and kill again. Others, far distant from the battle-fields, prompted by loyalty, or by compunction or by policy, have joined the titanic struggle. 2 S. MICHAEL'S CHRONICLE Despite the encouraging fact that fortune and success have not smiled everywhere upon our enemies, and that men may say the conflict is doing reticent Democracy a world of good, nevertheless our principles, our liberty, our very soil-all are at stake. We cannot afford to quibble and hold forth upon specious platitudes, .or upon such questions as "What is Wrong with Democracy?", "The New Order," and "Peace After the War," for if we delay in futile discussion, and do not concentrate upon the vital issue - that of winning the war - these problems of the future will not be for us to determine. Youth must prepare for the struggle that is at its door. Youth must prepare now. University courses must wait. Once we are of age, we must postpone the attain- ment of culture in order to ensure it for the future. Careers must not blind us to our plain duty. Nor must parents, good and sincere though they may be, stand in our way. Let them see the true path even if sorrow and sacrifice must follow. The manhood of the British Empire is fighting courageously, and we, who are the soldiers of the swiftly approaching years, must likewise prepare to uphold our fathers and brothers in their struggle. Therefore let us work with all our might at our daily task, but never for one moment let us forget that our country is expecting us - and expecting us soon. A.R.C-C. and K.G.W. S. MICHAEL'S CHRONICLE 3 SCHOOL NOTES Sunday, March 23rd, the day appointed by His Majesty the King as a day of prayer throughout the Empire, was observed at Michaelhouse by the inclusion of special prayers at all services. Since the last issue of the Chronicle, Mr. J. Aitken has retired from the service of the School. He was to have left in June of this year, but, at his own request, his retirement was allowed to take effect in January, and he is now living in Maritzburg. With his departure Michaelhouse loses a familiar figure. He took up his post as Estate Manager here 12 years ago on his retirement with a pension from Govern- ment service. Since then he has presided over the many changes in the grounds accompanying a period of rapid expansion. He has given loyal service to the School, and his work has left an enduring mark. We would wish many years of contentment and well-earned rest to him and to Mrs. Aitken. We were sorry to say goodbye to Mr. J. B. Pauw, who left at the end of last Quarter to take up a post at the Natal Technical College, Durban. We wish him success in his new work. Mr. R. G. H. Green has at last been called upon to play his willing part in the Services. He has, it seems, begun his battles already, for as a Second Lieutenant in the South African Air Force, in an air school in the Transvaal, he is battling his way through a navigation course prior to taking up a lecturing post. Upon the Rector's application, Mr. J. Pridmore was released from the Army. He is once more toiling in, about and for the School with his customary vigour and red face. Mr. I. J. Roux, B.A., B.Ed., Stellenbosch, has come to take the place of Mr. Pauw. We welcome him to Michaelhouse. 4 S. MICHAEL'S CHRONICLE We warmly welcome the Reverend R. A. Sidebottom, M.A., father-in-law to the Rector, who came to us from England and is now sharing the duties of Chaplain. We welcome, too, Mr. T. F. J. Dreyer, B.A., Rhodes, and Mr. D. S. Foster, B.A., Stellenbosch, who joined the Staff at the beginning of the last Quarter. Of masters on active service we have the following details. Mr. Hall is now serving on a British destroyer. Messrs. Davis, Gaylard and Simon were in the victorious drive through Italian Somalaland; Mr. Gaylard, with one other from all the N.C.O.'s of his regiment, was seconded for officers' training in or near Nairobi. We heartily con- gratulate him. We also congratulate Mr. Melville, who has been awarded a commission in the N.F.A., and Mr. Van Heijst, at present a sergeant in the same unit, who has been selected for an officers course in the Artillery. Captain Chutter has been transferred to a camp in the Orange Free State. Messrs. K. Pennington, Pridmore, Woods, Robinson, Chard, Thomas and Bell have joined the National Volunteer Reserve. Parades are held at Nottingham Road. Mr. K. Pennington is a sergeant and Mr. Pridmore a corporal. Mr. Byrne is on the reserve list. We extend our sincere sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Chapman on the death of their baby daughter, Joan Mary, aged three months. On March 31st, Mr. J. C. Cope, a journalist of Fleet Street experience, gave a most interesting talk on modern newspaper methods, and on present day conditions in Russia, Germany, France and Poland. Dr. B. A. Dormer, Medical Superintendent, King George V Hospital, Durban, very kindly came to lecture to us on May 2nd on "The Problem of Tuberculosis in Natal." Dr. Dormer emphasized the gravity of this problem and stated that greatly increased funds are urgently needed to meet this growing menace to South Africa. S. MICHAEL'S CHRONICLE 5 At the fete held last term in aid of War Funds we realized the sum of £202 2s. 6d. This is most creditable in view of the very small attendance. A similar fete for War Funds is being held on Ascension Day, May 22nd, and as the boys work extremely hard to ensure the success of these fetes, we hope that many more parents and friends will find it possible to come and support them. At the School Concert, held in March in aid of air raid victims, a sum of £42 2s. 9d. was raised. This was aug- mented by £2 5s. from the Michaelhouse Children's Sunday School. A Show was held for the Indians of Michaelhouse on Saturday, April 5th, the first day of the Easter holidays. The weather was kinder than on the similar occasion last year and the Show proved very popular. Entries for the various classes, garden produce, Indian cooking, handwork, sewing, and children's drawing and modelling, were received in the Hall during the morning. Miss Jaffray, Miss Snell, Mr. Webster, Mr. Singh and Mr. Nobin kindly judged the entries, which in some classes reached a very high standard. In the afternoon the sports were held on the School track, the competitors keenly contesting the events, especi- alty in the children's section. Following the sports, there was tea for the Indians in the Hall. Mrs. R. A. Sidebottom then kindly presented the prizes for the Show and sports. There were several short speeches, and Mr. Singh, Head- master, Maritzburg, emphasized to the Indians the import- ance of education to their daughters as well as their sons. It is hoped that this popular and successful day - a recognition of the services rendered by the Indians to the School - will become an annual event. We wish to thank those members of the Staff and others who contributed generously with money to the Show. We are also very grateful to our kindly neighbours who acted as judges, and to Mrs. Snell, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Chapman and Mrs. J. B. Chutter, the housekeeper and kitchen staff and others who worked extremely hard to make the day happy and successful. We regret that our housekeper, Mrs. V. Bateson, is ill and is to undergo an operation at Grey's Hospital, Maritz- burg. We wish her a rapid recovery. Until Mrs. Bateson returns, her daughter, Mrs. M. Michaelis, is assisting Mrs. Byrne with the housekeeping. 6 S. MICHAEL'S CHRONICLE On December 8th, Meryl Walshaw, baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Walshaw, was christened in the Chapel by the Reverend R. A. Sidebottom. We are deeply indebted to John S. Schlesinger, who left last December and who is now at Harvard University, for a new cinematograph apparatus which will be a great boon to us and a great improvement on the old apparatus. It consists of a Bell and Howell auditorium outfit with twin projectors and amplifier. The projectors are fitted with 1,200 watt lamps and the amount of light on the screen is much greater than in the case of the old projector. There are two speakers, each taking 50 watts, and this means a considerable improvement in the sound also. The change over from one projector to the other is effected by means of a single switch, so we shall no longer have to wait while the new reel is put on.

Founded in 1905 for the preservation of objects of Historical Interest and Natural Beauty http://sanationalsociety.co.za/ PO Box 47688, Greyville, 4023, South Africa Email: [email protected] | Tel: 071 746 1007 NEWS BRIEF OBITUARY DENIS EMERY SLANEY – 14 NOVEMBER 1929 TO 11 FEBRUARY 2015 Denis Slaney was born in Durban and grew up in Overport near Overport House and McCord’s Hospital. He was educated at Durban High School and studied at the University of Natal [Pietermaritzburg]. He trained to be a teacher and on leaving university taught for one term at Port Shepstone High School before being posted to Estcourt High School where he taught history and geography for the next twenty years. He in fact taught, or as he liked to put it “tried to teach” his future wife, Dawn Hope, for four years. Twenty years later they married in1971. Shortly afterwards Denis was promoted as Vice Principal and Head of History at Northlands Boys’ High School and they moved to Durban. He and Dawn lived at Westville where soon after their arrival their son Kevin was born. They lived there for the next forty-two years. Although Denis was a strict disciplinarian, he won the respect of his pupils as a result of his fairness and the ability to pass on his knowledge. Dawn and Kevin were touched by the number of past pupils who contacted them and remembered Denis with affection. From Northlands Denis was promoted to Head Master of Brettonwood High School and finally Head Master of George Campbell High School.

  • NOTES and QUERIES Moray Comrie
    67 Notes and Queries A letter from MrR. O. Pearse In our last issue, we carried correspondence from the renowned Estcourt headmaster on the subject of Alan Paton and his student and early teaching days, and took the liberty of quoting a mention of Mr Pearse from Paton's autobiography. Mr Pearse has responded to those notes. Before I go any further, I think I should say a word in my own defence. I refer to the Alan Paton episode which I sent you. If you have any keen­ eyed literary sleuths amongst your readers they have already written to you to say the episode can hardly be correct as Alan left College at the end of 1934, and King George's Silver Jubilee was in the early part of 1935. See the history of Maritzburg College, For Hearth and Home, by Simon Haw and Richard Frame, page 257: 'At the end of that year (1934) he (Paton) accepted a post as the principal of Diepkloof'. With all due respect to the author of a very fine book, Haw is wrong here. (He repeats the error on page 489). I had one year at College on the Staff, 1935, and for the first six months was very closely associated with Alan. The offer of a reformatory post only came to Alan from Hofmeyr round about March, and Alan discussed the offer with me on a number of occasions. I know he left College at the end of June 1935. In his Towards the Mountain Alan gives no date as to when he left College, but there is a very clear clue on page 139, where Alan says, speaking of his arrival in Johannesburg, 'He (Cornelius Olivier, senior probation officer of Johannesburg) put me in his car and took me to see Diepkloof Reformatory.

  • Reginald Oliver Pearse (1900-1995)
    Obituaries 97 legendary. When his inspector's duties took him away from home for two or three days in the week, he always had his running kit with him, and in the late afternoon would be on the road for an hour or so, whatever part of the province he was working in. Until almost the end of his life, even when contending with serious illness, he continued this routine, though the jog had perforce become a walk. Through the various tributes paid to Nixon Montgomery, both at the time of his retirement from the education department, and on his death, the theme of gentlemanliness runs like a golden thread. It is perhaps the tribute that includes all others. 'He was a verray parjit gentil knight.' JOHN DEANE Reginald Oliver Pearse (1900-1995) Reg Pearse was born in Pietermaritzburg on 9 March 1900, at 345 Prince Alfred Street. His parents were living in Ladysmith, but it was felt that with the clouds of war banking up, and Ladysmith possibly in for a long siege, it was wise to be in Maritzburg for the birth. They got out of Ladysmith by the skin of their teeth, on the very last train to leave the town before the Boers closed in. Also on board were Colonel French and his aide Major Douglas Haig, later to become famous generals in the First World War. (General White felt they would be more use outside Ladysmith than being locked in.) Reg matriculated at Ladysmith Secondary School in 1917, and at the beginning of 1918 went to Maritzburg to attend the Natal University College where he spent five years - obtaining the BA in 1920, teaching certificate (the 'Union T.l') in June 1922, and MA in December of that year.

Kearsney College Ch ronicle Vol. 5, No. I July, I960 EDITORIAL WE should like to join forces with educationalists, newspaper editors, and "Anxious Parents", in a plea for greater attention to the reading, writing and speaking of the English language. In a country where there are parallel main languages, and a host of Bantu and other non-European tongues, it is almost inevitable that the overlapping of languages must lead to a break-down of the purity of each. This is well instanced in the corruption of Zulu into "Kitchen Kafir". For the moment, as an English school, we are thinking of English only. Beyond any doubt at all, there is a steady deterioration in the standard of written English. It is almost incomprehensible— and certainly most reprehensible—that even senior boys cannot spell and punctuate; and we believe that even at University level this weakness still obtains. Sometimes even school teachers are not guiltless! The drift away from reading decent literature (which need not be restricted to Scott, Dickens and Shakespeare, though what better models could there be?) to the reading of shoddy stuff, or, worse, the reading of comics (yes, even among seniors) must be held partly responsible.
