Ouers moet die communicator aflaai op hul rekenaars ten einde dit te benut. U seun behoort u

HEADMASTER’S HOEKIE
A special word of thanks to all our parents, old boys and other supporters for the way
you‟ve carried us through the rather hefty project which is interschools. Five things
stand out for me as defining moments of the 2011 interschools:
The overall competition was much tougher than in recent years. That‟s the way it
should be. For one school to dominate results as Boys‟ High had been doing up
to now, is a bit like bingeing on chocolate; It‟s sweet, but not necessarily healthy!
The 1946-class had a reunion, and I was fortunate enough to have lunch with
them between the hockey first team match and the u.15-rugby match. It was
absolutely fabulous to hear all the stories. They also raised a large amount of
money for the Eugène Marais project. It made me feel really proud to be a part of
an organization that can inspire such loyalty and commitment!
The old boys carrying their team off the field after the main match , win or lose,
was special. You don‟t get better than that, finish and klaar!
And listen to this: After the first team match, we were all standing in the cloak
room, feeling absolutely down-hearted. While we were talking, I suddenly heard
young male voices singing outside. At first I thought I was hallucinating because
of the disappointment at the first team‟s unexpected defeat! But it turned out that
the matrics all decided to come down to the cloak room to comfort their mates!
As the players came out, their fellow matrics shook their hands in proud support!
This was truly a magic moment, one which I shall not spoil with further
description.
Finally: the following was the response on the blog at the rugby 365.com website
from a Bishops old boy, one Andrew Eaton: “Die feit dat jy geen gekla van enige
Boishaai- manne êrens sien nie, spreek groot woorde vir julle skool. Anyone can
win and be humble about it, but it takes a bigger man to lose with humility.
Boishaai lost with dignity and my respect for you guys has increased!”
Thank you very much, sir! Nou ja, nou vir Interskole 2012!

SNAAKSE STORIE VAN DIE WEEK
Van Donder tot Bliksem:
Vervolgens „n Boishaaistorie uit die 1946-klas. „Skuus vir die ou kras woordjie of twee,
maar ek moes hierdie ene net vertel: Mnr. Mark Rushton vertel hoe hy en sy jarelange
boesemvriend en mede-Boishaaier, Kaffie Malherbe, bevriend geraak het. Mnr.
Rushton het in die vroeë negentienveertigs as ‟n jong Engelsman uit die stad by Werda
ingestap, en hom onmiddellik vasgeloop in die groot en sterk Malherbe (dié het ook
later vir die eerste rugbyspan gespeel). Daardie jare was die negatiewe sentiment
tussen Boer en Brit nog baie lewendig. Terstond stamp Malherbe vir Rushton dat hy op
die naat van sy rug beland. “Ja, lê daar jou donnerse Engelsman!” laat hoor Malherbe
wrewelrig, terwyl Rushton die stomme verbasing self is.
Toe dit nou ook nog duidelik word dat Rushton ‟n hokkiespeler is en nie ‟n rugby-man
nie, was dit vet op die vuur. “Kyk die Engelsman! Hy speel dan ‟n meisiesport,” word hy
gekoggel. Tot die Engelsman uiteindelik besluit: genoeg is genoeg!
“Nou toe, Malherbe,” sê hy eendag na ‟n gespottery, “hoekom kom jy nie vanmiddag
saam met my klub toe en kom speel ‟n bietjie hokkie nie?”
“Nee dankie, ek speel nie „n meisiesport nie” laat hoor Malherbe snedig.
“O so? Jy is nie dalk maar net bang nie, of hoe Malherbe?”
Nou kyk, dít moes jy nie vir die boerseun sê nie! Daardie einste middag bevind
Malherbe hom op die hokkie- oefenveld, met Rushton as sy direkte teenstander.Grynslaggend
wag hy Rushton in toe dié op pad is doelhok toe. Rushton klop
hom egter gemaklik en Malherbe se glimlag verwyn. Verder slaan Rushton hom ‟n paar
maal lekker hard op die enkels. As Malherbe boonop fisies wil raak, skouer die maer
Engelsman hom ewe nonchalant uit die pad! Aan die einde van die sessie kom
Malherbe, doodmoeg en hinke-pink, aangestap na waar die manne water drink.
“En wat sê jy nou, Malherbe? “ wil Rushton met ‟n glimlag weet. Vir ‟n oomblik kyk
Malherbe hom kwaai aan. Dan sprei ‟n breë glimlag oor sy gesig en hy plaas ‟n
gespierde arm om Rushton se maer skouers.
“Rushton,” sê hy, “ jy‟s darem maar ‟n bliksem van ‟n Engelsman, nè!”
Nou ja toe!
„n Vrede- (en vreugde) volle week vir elkeen!
