Eric Groom scoring 100 in 25 minutes against St. Henry's, a score which included eleven sixes and several lost balls. His total battmg time was under Playing rugger in thick black mud at Empangeni, so slippery that no-one could stand up, and in a matter of minutes no-one knew who anybody was. For our winning try Mr. Medworth slid about fifteen yards on his seat. J. F. REECE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY EXPEDITION TO GIANT'S CASTLE During the Easter holidays four boys and two masters, Mr. Lewis-Williams and Mr. Hewson, went on an expedition to Giants' Castle as there are many interesting Bushmen paintings in the area. Every member of the party had a camera and much of the time was spent photographing the many paintings, although a search was made for stone implements in all of the caves visited. We found many thumbnail and sidescrapers of the Later Stone Age and two grind stones. During the four days seven shelters were visited, most of which were some distance away from the camp.On the first full day Willcox and Steele's Shelters were visited. Both of these are in the same valley and approximately three miles from the camp. In Steeles' Shelter a careful study was made of the Eland which are painted in polychrome. A whole herd is being chased by men on horseback and it is believed that some earlier dwellers of the cave painted the Eland and thereafter the horsemen were added to form a single painting of an Eland hunt. It is a well-known painting in the Archaeological world. Willcox Shelter is also of great interest and a careful study of it was made. There is a figure, painted in white, sitting on its haunches. People are not sure what it represents, but it is believed to be a kind of witchdoctor or god. The longest hike was in search of Bamboo Shelter. With very few instruc tions, it was difficult to find it. Even though we found that we were within easy reach of it, the search was in vain. It was not entirely unsuccessful however, because of the beautiful scenery visible from the plateau above the valley. The scenery over the whole trip wasimpressive and along with the paintings a colourful display of photographs was obtained. Other shelters visited were, Snake, Main, Wildebees, Hartebees and Castle Rock.The expedition was a success and everyone enjoyed it greatly. J. WILLS SWIMMING Swimming committee for 1965: C. Lee (Captain), K. Naylor and J. Nightingale. With the valuable help of Mr. D. Bovey and a keen committee, we got off to a good start early in the term. There was no hold-up because of the weather, with the result that training got under way immediately and heats presented no problems. 17
