Van Der Pol, Chairman of the Tongaat-Hulett Sugar Company (Ltd.) was the guest speaker at the Annual Speech Day and Sixth Form Prizegiving, held in the Henderson Hall on Friday,30September this year. In an absorbing speech, Dr Van Der Pol stressed the very often ignored economic unity in the future of South Africa. Political and racial unity, he said, is virtually unattainable in a climate of economic disunity. The economic development of the country stabilises the political situation. In a poor economic climate, problems tend to be magnified — unem ployment and lack of job opportunity create an atmosphere of discontent. School leavers, who are potential economic leaders, have a commitment to fulfil in the future of South Africa, and those who have the inestimable advantage of having attend ed a school such as Kearsney will be likely to be in the fore front of this development — as well as having received the sense of responsibility, inculcated by their education, required for this position. Three members of staff received long service awards this year, having completed twenty five years at the College. They are deft to right): Mr Pip Townshend, Mrs Pixy Miibank and Mr George Gaza. Order of proceedings The ceremony, one of the most important on the Kearsney calendar, was opened with a prayer by the School Chaplain, the Reverend D.J. Buwalda. Dr G.W. Shuker, Chairman of the Kearsney Board of Governors extended a welcome to the many honoured guests, parents and friends, and, after the Headmaster, Mr E.C.W. Silcock, Dr Shuker introduced the guest speaker. A speech of thanks (possibly one of the most impressive speeches by a Head Boy in recent years) was delivered by the Head Boy of the school, A.E. Maybery. The prizes were awarded by the Guest of Honour, Dr Van Der Pol. RP£ dlE ' B n m tm mm
