Like so many of the other scholars, he loved to reminisce about those happy days up the North Coast,though not distinguishing himself in any way particularly. After leaving school he became an apprentice carpenter, and this was his living until World War 11 began. He rose to the rank of Lieut, in the SjV.E.C., and was awarded the B.E.M. After the War he decided to go farming at Swinburne, where he already had relations working. Twenty years of this and he retired to live quietly in Kloof, where he enjoyed his bowls.He was President of the Kearsney Old Boys Qub from 1947 to 1949,only the second Old Boy to be thus honoured, a tribute to the respect with which he was held, especially seeing that he lived so far away. While living in Kloof he was able frequently to visit the school ("this is not my school", he used to say)to watch the matches and so on, David was a quiet,solid, well-respected man,and on his last visit to the school appeared to be a very fit man. His end came through cancer, which must have happened very quickly,so saving him from a long period of pain. JJ.R. It had to come, sooner or later - Kearsney's first terrorist victim. Anthony Roy Temple-Miller was at Kearsney for only a short while (60-62), but will be well remembered.His home wasin Ramsgate,Natal.He spent three years guarding and looking after black civilians in the north-eastern area of Rhodesia. Apparently he was travelling,early in March,in a Jeep with an African gunbearer when they saw a bus stopped on the roadside. It seems that Tony thought that the bus was ambushed, and went over to help. Terrorists lying in wait opened fire and he was killed instantly. He was a compassionate young man and well knew the dangers that attended his work. He was not married, but to his ne.\t of kin we offer our sincere sympathies. Also: J.P.M.

Mooney(49-53) M.M.MundeU(4547) Maurice MundeU died suddenly at the age of 45 while playing golf in Kokstad. His days at Kearsney were undistinguished but he was a sound and reliable boy. After leaving school he joined the firm W.G.Brown and 0>,Durban.Later he returned to Kokstad to join his late father's business, which grew and prospered under his managership. He was President of the Chamber of Commerce for a while. A staunch member of the AngUcan Qiurch,he will be remembered by aU as a kind and sincere man to whom family Ufe was very important, and to his wife, children and mother we offer our sincere sympathies.
