    Easter Rugby Festival

    The St Johns College annual 17th Rugby Festival proved yet again to be a huge success, attracting

    record crowds. The excellent schoolboy rugby was complimented by the favourable autumn

    weather.

    REUNION (DECEMBER 2011) - CLASS OF 2001

    On Friday the 9th

    , Saturday the 10th

    and Sunday the 11th

    of December 2011, the matrics of the 2001

    vintage got together for their 10 year reunion.

    Friday saw 22 of the guys get together for a casual braai, some drinks and cigars and a gruelling

    session of poker. After 10 years, there were no chips on shoulders nor at the end of the night and

    after 13 re-buys in front of all the players bar two: Bartek Kurek and Dylan Botha. These two flinty

    eyed poker machines finally agreed at 2:30am to share the spoils (realising as they did that at some

    beauty rest was definitely called for in both their cases).

    On Saturday the 10th

    of December, 45 OJs and

    more than 20 of their rather lovely partners gottogether at the Old Johannian for the dinner

    component of the reunion.

    All were in high spirits as stories were

    compared and names were dredged up from

    memory to fit faces that, in many cases, hadnt

    been seen in 10 years.

    The evening kicked off with drinks in the

    garden, during which the boys were delighted

    to be joined by a number of their formerteachers: Alan and Gen Wilcock, Michael and

    Dee Dee Marias, Jenni Millward, Dimi Grigoratos and Marilynn Jardine (although all the boys pretty

    quickly reverted to calling her Mevrou Jardine).

    Next up former head-boy, Byron Grigoratos,

    stood up to welcome the OJs, their partners

    and the teachers attending and to provide a

    couple of short and snappy anecdotes of what

    the guys had been up to in the preceding 10

    years.

    This was followed by some rather excellent

    food, some dancing and a whole lot of catching

    up into the wee hours of the morning around

    the Old Johannian Bar. There are rumours too

    of war cries being fiercely shouted out on

    Mitchell Field before the evening finally came

    to an end.

    Then, on Sunday the 11th

    was the golf day at Houghton Golf club. Unfortunately, due in large part to

    Old Johannian Bar of the night before, only 10 guys managed to get to the first tee. But that did not

    detract from the awesome day they enjoyed catching up.

    Briefly interrupted only by a quick Johannesburg summer thundershower after lunch, some equally

    great and disastrous golf was played and after the final shot everyone enjoyed a couple drinks

    together in the clubhouse laughing over a couple of particularly poor golf shots and far too many

    three puts.

    In summary, SJC Matric 2001: after 10 years of maturation this vintage may be slightly fuller bodied

    and with a touch less hair than what it started out with, but on the whole it has become even more

    vividly complex, diverse and exciting over the years. Without doubt still an incredibly fine vintage!

    OLD BOY NEWS

    1) Scott Mallen (2002 Head boy - Clarke) and David McAlpine (2002 - Alston)Two intrepid OJs (2002), Scott Mallen (head boy) and David McAlpine, are making their way through

    Africa (North to South) and attempting to get from Casablanca (Morocco) to Johannesburg, using

    only public transport or trekking. They are hoping to raise awareness for autism and are fundraising

    for The Key School, a highly specialized institution for children with autism. It is the only school of its

    kind in Africa and does incredible work with these children, most of which come from impoverished

    backgrounds.

    The two OJs set off on 15 January 2012 with the largest medi-kit this side of the Afghan war,

    commenting the antibiotics would be their bread and butter!

    Thus far they have travelled the length and breadth of Morocco and climbed the Atlas Mountains,

    the highest in North Africa, in chest-high snow, with crampons and ice-picks, having never used

    mountaineering equipment before!

    They were warmly welcomed in Western Sahara before making their way through Mauretania (a

    categorized Red Zone because of kidnappings and Al Qaeda aggression) and into Senegal, following

    the Senegal River inland to its source in canoes and fishing boats, before crossing into Mali, then

    Burkino Faso and Ghana. Thereafter they will move to the East coast of Africa and head south from

    Ethiopia. They plan to take 8 months, and will be climbing Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya with fellow

    OJ mates, to mark their decade since matriculating from St Johns College! A really great idea from a

    really united and brilliant class of 2002!

    They certainly would love to have support for their cause, both in donations (100% of all money

    raised goes directly to The Key School) and in raising awareness of this debilitating condition and the

    support given to the families of these children by the school.

    Our trip through Africa from Casablanca to home has been progressing really well. We have

    conquered snowy peaks in the north, sand dunes in the west and taken rivers east to Mali where we

    are currently. We still however have a long way to go.

    Greetings from Scott (26 March 2012):

    Mali is in the throes of a coup. We suspect we may have been some of the last tourists to get out

    before the borders were sealed late last Friday so writing this to you from Burkina Faso is also a

    great relief.

    We have all details and some entertaining pieces about our journey on our blogs. We update them

    as often as possible and we both have a link to our YouTube channel on the blog, it is linked as

    "Footage from the trip" in the top left hand corner. Probably the best vids to look at are 'Senegal

    river movie' and 'Scenes from Morocco': I am trying to upload a cool Mali film right now but the

    connections out here are very sluggish! In the top right hand corner we both have a link that reads

    'Donate Here' and clicking on the backabuddy image below it takes people straight to the fast and

    secure donation page for the Key School for Autism. We just passed the R16k barrier so it is all veryexciting. People can also scroll the blog archives and catch up all the previous entries from Morocco

    Mauritania Senegal and Mali.

    Some of the big things we have lined up in the next few months are: Ras Dashin (highest peak in

    Ehtiopia), rockhewn churches of Lalibela, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, gorillas in the Prcs

    National de volcano Uganda, genocide sites in Rwanda, Lake Victoria, and finally, trekking for 200km

    down the Mozambican coast.

    March 12, 2012

    Jean Symes, a South African allrounder who plays for Lions and Gauteng, will be Scotland's overseas

    player for the Clydesdale Bank 40 competition.

    Symes, 25, replaces George Worker from New Zealand who has been called into the Emerging Player

    squad. Symes will also play for Watsonian in the Eastern Premier League when not on Scotland duty.He has a one-day high score of 170 and a career strike-rate in List A cricket of 86.13 from 56 games,

    while his left-arm spin has gathered 47 wickets at 25.98. He represented South Africa Under-19s at

    the 2006 World Cup in Sri Lanka where he won the Man-of-the-Match award against Scotland.

    On a previous spell in the Lancashire Leagues playing for Norden he scored an unbeaten 268 against

    Royton in 2009.

    "We are delighted to have secured Jean to replace George Worker," Roddy Smith, the Cricket

    Scotland chief executive, said. "As a top order batter and left-arm spinner, he was exactly the type of

    cricketer we were looking for. I'm sure he will be a useful addition for Scotland and Watsonian CC for

    the 2012 season."

    OJ Eagles have continued where they left off at the start of the new season.

    They won the annual Old Ed's

    National Short Course Tournament

    held at KES in October 2011. They

    defeated Old Ed's in a closely

    contested final.

    The Gauteng league commenced

    after that, with the Eagles

    continuing with their split team

    approach to allow more juniorplayers to play at the highest level.

    By the end of December the OJ Eagles

    P1 led the league by two points ahead of

    OJ Eagles P2. With the season close in

    March, OJ Eagles P2 managed to trump

    their P1 teammates by winning theleague in the last fixture of the

    campaign.

    The OJ Eagles have now secured a

    one/two finish in the last two Premier

    League seasons. The OJ Eagles P2 also

    made it to the cup final, losing to Old

    Ed's, who also happened to knock out

    the Eagles P1 team in the semi-final.

    The OJ's are now preparing to defend their National Champions status at the 130 year old Currie CupTournament being held in Durban, Kings Park Pool from 11 to 14 April 2012. The OJ Eagles senior

    team have won 8 out of the last 9 titles and will be facing some very strong competition from

    TRIBUTES

    Angus Douglas Stewart Rose (2 Aug 1925 to 15 Feb 2011) (English Teacher 1959-63)

  • 7/31/2019 OJA Newsletter April 2012

    Tribute by Colin Hartley

    Johannians who were at the school between 1959 and 1963 may

    well remember Angus as their English teacher and as someone

    who stimulated interest, discussion and argument around and

    beyond the usual topics of the classroom and who encouragedreading and study in areas of the curriculum that they may not

    previously have thought of.

    I remember him especially as an outstanding reader of poetry

    and drama; as an imaginative and critical analyst of any text or

    publication that came his way; as someone of unusually wide

    general knowledge and as one who was profoundly exercised by

    the way the English language was used and abused; he often

    quoted I know what you mean in spite of what you say!

    He was at the school for only a short time, having beenpreviously the Headmaster at St Julians School in Portugal, and left St Johns to lecture at the

    Johannesburg College of Education, but in that period, in addition to his English teaching, he

    encouraged interest in music and concert-going, established an Astronomical Society, promoted

    debating and as editor of the Johannian, gave the magazine a format and style that it retained

    broadly- until 1998. His influence was therefore considerable, considering the time he spent there.

    After leaving JCE he headed the English department at Pietermaritzburgs Alexandra High School,

    became the English editor at Shuter and Shooter Ltd, and after retirement was invited to be Rector

    of Giyani College of Education, Gazankulu which he finally left in 1992. With his wife Bridget he

    moved to McGregor in the Western Cape where he died in 2011. Those who knew him would not be

    surprised at his request to be buried in Robertsons paupers cemetery because: it commands asplendid view!

    Throughout his life he remained involved in and contributed to many organisations such as the

    SABC, the English Academy of South Africa, Wits University, the Natal Society, the 1820 Foundation,

    Friends of Tatham Art Gallery, the University of Natal and he wrote on the subject of English

    Language and Shakespeare as well as contributing to a number of newspapers, in particular the

    Natal Witness. He continued his interest as an amateur astronomer and also served as organist in his

    local church.

    For me personally he was the schoolmaster whose lessons I best remember and who gave me

    something that was not in the syllabus; an inclination to think critically for myself and not always to

    accept the generally received wisdom about any subject at all. I believe that many students who

    came under his instruction have reason to be similarly grateful.

    - Colin Hartley

    Mrs Rene England (26 July 1912 to 2 February 2012)Tribute from Roger Cameron

    We mourn the loss of Mrs England, who has not

    only been a wonderful benefactor of St JohnsCollege, but also a true friend.

    She died peacefully at 4 am on the 2nd

    of

    February at the wonderful age of 99 years.

    Rene had a great zest for life, enjoyed the

    company of many friends, hosted wonderful

    dinner parties, and was always willing to dance

    the night away. I distinctly remember her 90th

    birthday attended by several hundred guests and

    many friends.

    Rene, like her husband Fred, supported the Old Johannian Association as well as the school.

    Through her generosity we have the Fred England Centre in the Prep, which houses the Prep media

    centre. We have the Tim Woolcott Centre as part of the Old Johannian Association, and we have the

    Rene England Auditorium. All of these buildings were generously donated by Mrs England. In the

    last few years she has struggled with her health, and yet always kept a keen interest in the affairs of

    St Johns College, and shown great love and affection towards the school. We commend her to

    Almighty God. May she rest in peace.

    True to her wishes we have not had a funeral or memorial service for her, but we will celebrate her

    life at Gaudy Day on Saturday, 30 June 2012.

    She would have turned 100 on 26 July 2012 and was looking forward to celebrating at lunch with us

    on Gaudy Day.

    Michael William Carter (27 April 1928 to 1 September 2011) Teacher at St JohnsMr Carters passing was noted in last years Old Johannian magazine, but we unfortunately did

    not receive additional tributes at time of print. We have therefore given his son Andrew this

    opportunity to pay tribute to his beloved father.

    Personal Tribute from Andrew Carter

    Michael Carter came to St Johns College a fresh young

    graduate. He served it all his working life. The gift of his life to

    St Johns was the gift of Gods Life into its community.

    The motto of St Johns is probably the greatest of all mottos. The

    school prayer tells us why: Lord God our Father, Who art Light

    and Life and Love... Michael Carter was to St Johns the Light

    of Love that gives Life.

    His first three decades especially at St Johns were so powerfully

    radiant that none could not notice. The power of his personal

    presence commanded respect from all, and he contributed to

    virtually every facet of school life - with great positive effect -

    and it was obvious and wonderful to all.

    He taught Latin and Greek. He became boarding-house master, then second master. He coached

    the first cricket and rugby teams. He was the brilliant leading-man in several operas, producing and

    directing others. He contributed much to the schools choirs. He sat on countless committees.

    From the smooth running of school life to its many varied events and activities, he poured into all his

    love, joy, help and enthusiasm.

    Many knew him, and loved him. Charming, affable, intelligent, genial, positive, fun, artistic and

    helpful, he befriended all he met. He loved music, the choir, stage productions, sport and excellence

    of every sort. He loved people, life and God.

    His unseen light was very great indeed. The respect and friendship he gave his colleagues gave

    them courage, self-respect, joy and hope. Many looked to him for counsel and support -

    headmasters, serving-staff and teachers alike. Forever visiting the needy, his love cast a wide net.

    And he took many under his wing - for a season or to the end of their days.

    An exuberant force for happiness, beauty, success, harmony and excellence, he got so much fromthe school precisely because he gave it so much.

    I hope this school, which he loved so dearly, and into which he poured his whole great heart and life,

    will recognise the extraordinary gift he was to it. The light he poured into the life and lives of this

    community, over virtually five decades, lives on in eternity. Having infused the school with the very

    Light that made it what it is, he remains one of its great benefactors.

    The Love of God is the foundation and heart of St Johns. Through that Love, Michael Carter was

    given to it. In its Light he lived and worked, giving Life to its community. We who have seen his Light

    rejoice and give thanks for his life and the honour of knowing him.

    -Andrew J Carter

    OLD JOHANNIAN CLUB

    The Johannian club is really the main offering that we as an association have for our members other

    than the worldwide network of course. We have been undergoing major renovations for the past

    few months and we hope to have this work largely completed by early next term. We thank allpatrons and members for your patience during this time, but expect that our efforts will prove

    fruitful and also ensure that our buildings are in a condition of which we can be proud.

    2012 Has seen an extremely busy school year at the college with many parents supporting the club.

    We encourage all parents to join and to that end we have club membership forms available in the

    club, simply ask either Mandy or Kim. All old Johannians are automatically members of the Old

    Johannian Club.

    We closed 2011 with a festive old boy reunion, spearheaded by Byron Grigoratos and Antony

    Dane. Julie Groves, Robyn Brooke and Kelly Glazebrook all celebrated their 21st

    birthdays in

    spectacular style and Derek Stott, a past Chairman of the club, celebrated his 60th

    birthday.

    Various class moms of both Roedean and St Johns organised breakfasts and class dinners, these get-

    togethers are very popular with parents getting to know each other and we thank them for their

    support.

    The Johannian, St Johns College and Paarl Boys High have built a very successful relationship over

    the years and once again, Danie Malan and Johan Heunis, old boys of Paarl Boys High, enjoyed their

    annual pre rugby festival get together with a cocktail party for 80 of their old boys. Due to the

    success of this event they have booked the venue again for next year.

    We will be introducing a new menu with a new look and feel, keeping up with local food trends. Ourweekly specials add to the already popular menu.

    To make our moms life easier we have now introduced a convenient Take-Away dinner menu,

    this includes dishes such as lasagne, hearty stews and delicious pies and quiches. For the prep

    moms whose children stay after school for sport, we have introduced healthy meals options which

    the boys are able to collect and enjoy before sport.

    Our chef, Yvette who was trained in Switzerland, has provided outstanding bespoke menus for our

    functions and is becoming very well known for her cupcakes, birthday cakes and wedding cakes.

    The club is open during the school holidays so youre welcome to come by for a leisurely lunch, drinkor dinner. Club hours are from 8am to between 2.30pm and 3.00pm over school holidays. Please

    phone to check availability and service level on offer with management on 011 487 1971.
