Did'nt they have like triple the amount of kids in their team that the others.  For some reason I always thought that blue team had the smallest number of kids, then green and red had half the school!   Also  -  I'm sure of it  -  Zandie used to interview the new parents, then made the selection as to what team the kids would go, based on their previous performances.  All the good ones got sent to the red team   -  never mind that  -  we still gave them a go!

Aunty Dalene, it's funny you should say that...coz, I always thought the same blerrie thing, the headmaster was Rhodes, the majority of the pupils were Rhodes..... But I always thought Barnato had the smallest group.....and nog n ding...how come Rhodes always went to singing practice in the Big Hall...poor little Barnato was all squashed into the small Hall....

Huh?

Hello all en Hello Andrewette

Nog 'n Boertjie het opgedaag en ek is ook 'n oud Barnato, wat te erg is is te erg, Rhodes het altyd die atlete gehad en Oppenheimer die swemmers en cross countries, ons moes tevrede wees met die sangbeker!!!

Hi Gerrit

Dit is met hartseer dat ek van Doc moet lees.  Het altyd oor die jare bly wonder waar hy hom bevind.  Hy was die greatste persoon.  Ek moet uitwys dat in my hele skool loopbaan was Doc my beste prinsipaal.  Sal hom altyd onthou met sy glimlag en altyd reg om advies te gee.  'n Regte vader figuur.  Ek is seker julle is baie trost op so 'n uitmuntende wese.

Groete

Hi Gerrit,

Sorry to hear about your folks.  They, along with Gawie & Harriett le Roux were two couples that epitomised to me the  notion of "salt of the eath" people.  Honourable, kind and compassionate.
