BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL.
SPEECH NIGHT. AN ENTHUSIASTIC BREAK-UP. The Theatre Royal was filled in every part last night on the occasion of the speech night and presentation of prizes of the Timaru Boys High School. Parents and friends of the school were present from all parts of South Canterbury. The function was one of the most successful in the history of the school. Mi J. Bitchener, M.P. (chairman of the Board of Governors), presided, and with him were I\lr F. J. Rolleston, M P., the Mayor (Mr G. .T. Wallace), Professor .T. Shelley (Canterbury College), Mr S. D. Mason (president of the Okl Boys’ Association), Mr R T. Stewart, the Rector (Mr W. Thomas, M.A.), and staff, members of the Board of Governors, and of .he Old Boys’ Association. The proceedings opened with the National Anthem, after which the School Song was sung. During the evening choruses were given by the school. The programme concluded with the “Farewell Song,” and “God Save the King.” CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS. The chairman of the Board of Governors (Mr J. Bitchener), expressed pleasure at the large attendance. They would in the near fut- . ure, have to find a larger hall to accommodate those who attended the annual presentation of prizes. “I am glad,” said Mr Bitchener, “that such
~n enthusiastic interest is taken in the school. That interest augurs well for the future.” Proceeding, he mentioned that the Timaru Boys’ High School held a high place in the educational' world in New Zealand. Their school was considered to be one of the best in New Zealand. There was no reason why that should not be the case, for the Timaru High School had everything in its lavour. .They had a splendid climate, a fine type of boy, and a staff second to none in the Dominion. (Applause.) On behalf of the Board, he congratulated the school on its year’s rvork, especially when the effects of the infantile paralysis epidemic were taken into consideration. The progress that had been made was the outcome of hard work. The past year was one of the most strenuous in the history of the school. Mr Bitchener concluded by wishing the school and masters the compliments of the season. RECTOR’S REPORT. The Rector (Mr W. Thomas, M.A.) gave an address dealing with the work of the year just closed: Numbers —The total number of pupils on the rolls for this year is 401. Of these 33S are secondary school pupils, while G 6 are Preparatory. 131 Boarders have been in residence. Staff—The increased attendance in the Secondary Department entitled us to another master and Mr. H. B. McClatchy, M.A., an Old Boy, was appointed. Another Old Boy, Mr. D. Kelly, 8.A., took the place of Mr. S. Craven, M.A., who left us on promotion. The’ outstanding change, however, has been the departure of our Senior Assistant, Mr. A. G. Tait. Mr. Tait, who gave invaluable service to the School for thirieen years, received a well merited promotion to the headmastership of the Dannevirke High School, and left us at the beginning of the last term. Old Boys and the present School combine in wishing him every success as a headmaster. In order to allow time for the re-organisation of the Staff, Mr. Tait’s position has not been filled, but we were fortunate In obtaining the services of Mr. L. Titheridge, 8.A., another Old Boy, as locum tenens. Mr. E. A. Cockroft, M.A., 8.C0m., now becomes Senior Assistant, and I hope the final outcome will be promotion for several others of our masters who have so faithfully served this school. Short Year—The late start in the first term of course has interfered with the regular routine of the school during the whole year. As the best way out of the difficulty we divided the year into two long terms. Before the school opened we organised as a correspondence school and the upper form boys, at any rate, benefited by the instruction. We were much pleased by the response to our appeal for over 90 per cent, of the pupils sent in work to be marked. As far as the actual school work is concerned, now that the end of the year has come, your, masters feel that most of the classes by increased zeal and greater concentration, have covered as much ground ;is usual, and with an equal thoroughness. Some of the activities, however, have suffered. Senior boys had to grudge every moment given up to anythin? except school work. Always loom ing before Ihem has been the end of the year with its examinations. J have been sorry for the conscientious senior boys, for this has meant something lost out of their last and best year. The gain in concentration power, however, must be a great Compensating factor. Examinations —The 1024 examination results must be considered very satisfactory. Three of the Sixth Form (W. S. Maslin, W. L. Holland and R. Byers) gained University National Scholarships, while D. U. White passed this examination with credit. Including these students 40 boys obtained some pass in Matriculation or higher examination. A. G. Pratt and D. G. Sinclair were awarded Senior Scholari ships; while A. B. Boal, J. B. Ilurst, and N. Patchett were awarded Junior | Scholarships. Seventy-/four ootained Free Places.
Old Boys’ Successes —We notice the names of L. Titheridge, 8.A., H. Field, 8.A., N. A. Moore, M.A., A. G. Simmers, 8.A., W. J. Scott, 8.A., R. King, M.D., H. B. McClatchy, M.A., J. Earl, M.A., P. S. Cabot, 8.A., G. Stewart, M. 8., Ch.B., E. Fossey, M. 8., Ch.B., IC. Holdgate, M. 8., Ch. B. in the list of those who obtained 'new degrees at the end of 1924. At the Canterbury College and Otago University examinations this year the unusually large number of 4 4 of our Old Boys obtained terms in different subjects. E. J. Riches obtained the John Connal Scholarship at Canterbury College. 11. Field has been appointed to an assis-tant-lectureship in philosophy, while Riches and D. Scott are assistants to the Professor of Economics and ilistory respectively. At Otago the President of the Students’ Association is P. S. Cabot. We are pleased to know that our Old Boys are entering whole-heartedly into the intellectual, athletic and social activities of the Universities and the Training Colleges. Athletics.—This year the boys have again taken full advantage of the facilities available for sport. Owing to the epidemic, there was no cricket in the autumn, but since winter this game has been in full swing, with net practices, games and matches.
The Old Boys’ Association has again kindly presented the medals for the Senior and Junior Championships. A new cup has been presented by Mr. 11. Fraser for the 120 Yards Senior Championship. We are grateful to these donors and also to Messrs. J. Dronnan, W. W. Harwell, R. Morrison and E. Arthur who have given special medals.
The record of the First Fifteen is one of the best for some years in the history of the School. It von all its inter-school games, including the South Island Secondary Schools Tournament. It also won T Junior Grade in the Rugby Union Competition, and the Junior Medals in the Seven-a-Side Tournament. Cadets and Physical Drill-Owing to increased numbers and also as an aid to efficiency, two companies have been formed —a senior and a Junior. The various prizes throughout the year have been allotted as follows: Matthews Cup for best N.C.0., SergMajor M. Smith: Route Marching Shield, No. 1 Platoon Serg W. Arnold; Best Section: Section No. 1, Corporal . Halstead; Senior Shooting Cup. D. Dick; Junior Shooting Cup: E. Hambleton. . TT . , The O.C. Cadets, Captain Blind, M.C., is to be congratulated on the results of the year’s work. All the masters have assisted with the physical drill in the mornings, and this drill we are sure, has a beneficial effect on the development and deportment of our boys. Music —with a brass band, an orchestra, and a banjo band, those boys who have any inclination to play an instrument are given an opportunity to do so, while the whole school life is brightened and enriched by their playing. Through the exigency of time, the difficulties of bringing musical combinations up to standard have been greater than usual, but Messrs. Osborne, McClatchy, Moore and Kemshed have been equal to their several tasks. We have this year further extended the experiment in part singing and are pleased to note that even as high an authority as Sir Harry Reichel, states that it is the best school singing he has heard. The masters, directed by Mr. A. W. ;V. Vine, have obtained wonderful results from adolescent voices. Art—ln addition to the ordinary drawing lessons, Mr. Rae has done very valuable work with some of the classes in woodcuts and in' clay modelling. An application has been made for an art room, and if this is granted Mr. Rae will have a greater opportunity. Library—The Memorial Library, now with a good selection of interesting and instructive volumes suitable for reference and for private reading, has become in reality the centre of the School life and as the years go on its valuable influence will increase.
Lectures and Debates —During the year at every opportunity we have, asked distinguished visitors to the town to address the boys. We are grateful to those who have so willingly assisted us by giving lectures, and in this respect we a.rain express our indebtedness to Professors Shelley and Condliffe of Canterbury College. Woodwork and Woolsorting—Two classes in Woodwork for Rectory boys and for those day boys who cared to come have been held in the evenings by Mr Butler. About seventy boys have attended Mr. Harte’s excellent lessons in woolsorting, and ns usual, several hoys in their second and third years have gained certificates. Rectory—Altogether 131 boarders have been in residence. The new cubicles were ready at the beginning of the year, and this has allowed another 4 5 boys to sleep in the “open air.”
The health of the boys has been excellent; fortunately there have been no epidemics during term time, and, as usual, very few boys have “reported sick” from other causes. Only the boys themselves and their parents can realise the care and devotion of the Matrons, Miss Scott and Miss Hendry, in the cause of the boys’ welfare. Mr Hyde’s appointment as a full - time master of pupils taking piano lessons has made this department of the work of the boarders much more efficient. The violin pupils are under the capable guidance of Miss Amy Smith.
Buildings and Grounds—During the year a new block of buildings of the “open air” type, which has been proved by the preparatory school for the past ten years to be so wonderfully effective, was erected. The fortunate classes which reside there have felt the contrast of the full severity of winter weather and the sultriness of the nor’-wester, and the unanimous opinion of masters and boys is that the “open airs” are the best rooms in the school. With very happy results the gardeners and the janitor have continued with the task of beautifying the grounds. The new block of 25 acres which is situated across Otipua Road will give ample playing- grounds and space for extension for all time, whatever may be the size of the school in future years. Our immediate aim will be to convert this into a park, with at least four full-sized cricket and football grounds and with a large area set aside for experimental purposes in agriculture. The purchase of this land is certainly the .most important event that has happened in connexion with the school for many a year. Wc sincerely thank the Board of Governors.
Thanks—Again this year we thank the Board of Governors for its assistance and encouragement. For some time it has adopted a far-see-ing policy which is sure to cause satisfaction in the years to come. We thank, too, the different Ministers, who in their special classes, have directed with such zeal the spiritual education of our boys, and we thank those, who, by donation of prizes or library books or in any other way, have helped us during the year. A bequest of £SOO from the Rathbone Estate has been received at an opportune time, for this money will form the nucleus of a fund for the building of a gymnasium.
Mr Thomas concluded his remarks with the following words, addressed specially to the boys had had concluded their course at the school: “And now boys, one last word bv way of benediction. Intensity I think has been the predominant feature of this year’s work. We certainly cannot be said to have stagnated. Your masters at any rate would have been glad at limes of an opportunity of catching their breath, of a dull moment by way of respite. Your prefects certainly deserve credit that under such trying circumstances they are able to hand on the torch burning a little brighter—at. least in no way dimmed. Cleland (head prefect) and Lindsay (head of School House) are especially deserving of commendation. “Life has so far dealt kindly with most of your senior boys. You carry away a body, which, in the light of men’s present knowledge, is a lit and proper habitation, a fit and proper temple for a human soul; you carry away a mind eager to understand, eager to conquer. I wonder how often in the future years you will sec with the inner eye and hear with the inner ear the sights and sounds of your school life. Has the impression been deep enough? Have the music, the games, the affection for one another, the sympathy' with one another, the honest work, the happiness of it all: have these affected .the well springs of your nature? Will Hie memory of these stand you in good stead in the days of tribulation, in the days of temptation ? ‘•i-ife is not a simple matter. For
most of you who are leaving, dining the next few years, it w' u ,e ~ come more complex. Even the best and wisdst of -men are but groping along, one step enough at a time, are but ‘infants crying for the light. It is difficult to give you advice. Each one must steer his own course. Bui if a radio message from a fellow tiaveller is of any service, I would say. ‘lf you keep to simple sincerity ot your school days, if you keep youi simple faith, in one Everlasting urpose underlying all tilings, U you have ready sympathy for others, you will have the open sesame . to the only true and abiding happiness. I am afraid we do not always in our schools put first things first. uhe culture of the emotional and spiritual side of your nature is much more important than the culture ot your intelligence. The written examination tries to test your intelligence; the philosophy of your emotions is on trial every day of your life.
“I hope life will go on treat,ng you kindly and that in days to come you will be able to come back to your school with the thought that you have played the man, and that you can look the whole world in the “I thank you senior hoys for many | acts of kindness. May the cup or your happiness be brimming over; may you be of good service to your generation.” PROFESSOR SHELLEY’S ADDRESS. Professor Shelley was given an enthusiastic reception. Following a few introductory remarks, he read an extnact from “On the Path of Glory, by Anatole France. He said he intended to take as the text of his address, “They owe everything to me, for man is man only because lie remembers.” They were, said Professor Shelley, apt to forget in the pride of their achievements. Thinking thev were responsible for a great deal, they forgot to take for granted the nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand things that happened in their lives. Here, the speaker referred to an old civilisation in America, that had only been dead , for 400 years. These people had had a wonderful language, blit it was forgotten. The same thing would happen with their civilisation unless it was handed on. Mentally', the people of to-day were not superior to those who lived in earlier civilisations. There was practically no change in the mental capacity of the people of 10,000 years ago, compared with those of the present day. It was all summed up in the, phrase "handing on.” He wished his hearers to remember that. ' Professor Shelley next referred to education. He was pleased to hear Mr Yhomas remark that too much stress was being laid on the intellectual side ; of education. That, however, had been overcome at the Timaru' Boys’ High School. In other centres things continued unaltered. They had not only to hand on knowledge, but, other'things of even greater import. . Professor , Shelley said (with a laugh) that if a young fellow was six feet in height, lie would be told he would make a good navvy'. If, he was five feet six' inches in height, but determined to grow to be six feet, then he would make a doctor. (Laughter.) The speaker wished to make it clear that the man six feet in height was not responsible for his size; it had been handed down. Therefore, it was an example of “handing on.” Achievements, of the . past must be handed on, but if their civilisation was to be retained, those achievements should be genuine ones. (Applause.) The question was, were they going to hand bn the spirit or the surface only. As an example, he quoted the case of an early civilisation in Egypt. Then, a common belief was the journey of the soul to the next world. In the years that followed, this belief was forgotten, and now at the burial sendee, a piece of parchment was placed on the body before interment. No one knew the reason for the placing of the parchment. It had not been handed down. ..They in Timaru had the opportunity of “handing on” in a first class fashion. At the Timaru Boys’ High School, they had a shrine, which ought to be the shrine of honesty of purpose. Pie referred to the Memorial Library, which was one of the finest pieces of architecture in New Zealand. He wanted the boys to regard the Memorial Library as the shrine of their duty to hand on the traditions of their school. If tlieir minds lost that standard of honesty, then their civilisation would be lost. Professor Shelley concluded his address with the following verses, entitled “School Memories,” from the T.B.H.S. “Bulletin”: — . SCHOOL MEMORIES. Red warm school on winter’s day, Clanging bell in-bringing Rush of boys from fields of play, Lusty voices singing. Swift white flash of school half-back, Rival colours blending, Forward push in straining pack, Honour's line defending. Sun-flushed grounds, all summertanned, Grey platoons, arms swinging. Rhythmic beat of blithesome band, Sharp command out-ringing. Hum of work in form and hall, Care-free life u-spending, Splash of baths and knock of ball, Laugh and shout ascending.
Chiselled stone with names revered, Gold edge scintillating, Sacred shrine to us endeared, Peace commemorating. Days for me beyond recall, How my soul is yearning! Sap of youth—no thought of fall, Halcyon days of learning. PRESENTATION OF PRIZES. The Mayor, who presented the prizes, congratulated the "School on the large number present. It was an in'dication of the wide interest taken in the work of the Timaru Boys’ High School. Sometimes, said Mr Wallace, he felt as if they lived too close to the school to appreciate the worth of the boys. AVlien in Timaru, the Governor-General, Sir Charles Fergusson, had paid a glowing tribute to the school. In addressing the hoys, he had said that lie had come prepared to address boys, but he would speak to them as he would to men. Mr Wallace hoped that the boys would cherish the prizes gained at school. In the years to come, they would serve to remind them of their days at school. Addressing himself to the boys about to leave, Mr AVailace said they were leaving one school to join another—the school of life. There were no gold medals to win, but life was full of awards for merit. He extended the compliments of the season to the boys, and then presented the prizes.
Mr S. D. Mason, on behalf of the Old Boys’ Association, appealed to those boys about lo leave to join the Association. Mr R. Stewart then presented the athletic prizes. On the motion of Mr Rolleslon, a hearty vote of thanks, carried by acclamation, was passed to Professor Shelley for his most interesting address. Cheers and the school haka were given for Professor Shelley, speakers of the evening, the Board, and the staff.
