(Craig) Livingstone (76-80), 10 Oakham, John Avenue, Bedford, who played for S. African schools at hockey, has now taken his second year B.A., LI.B. How does he manage without Latin? He has been selected for South Africa Under 21 hockey, with Greg Pilling and Paul Logan. B.C.D. (Brett) Logan (77-81), 102 Abrey Road, Kloof, who played for Natal Schools XI, has completed his 2nd year B.A. Social Science Personnel at Durban University.

(James) Montgomery(73-76) is, I'm afraid, rather out of date. When last we heard, he had completed an intensive year at Birmingham University and handed in a Thesis on "Mathe matical Digital Modelling of 3 aquifers in Central Java". (Your guess is as good as mine). He was then proposing to go to Rauchi in Northern Nigeria, for Water Surveys, Nigeria.

He is employed by Mackenzie Trading Co., Durban, a firm involved in the manufacture and distribution of steel for the building and allied industries. As no mention of it was made in the last magazine, we hasten to inform that our 1982 cricket captain, M.J. (Mark) Pearse (79-82), not only captained the Natal Schools XI, but was selected for the South African schools team. After eight months at Tempe and in the bush, he has recently been transferred to Natal Command as assistant to the sports officer. He is now playing club cricket in Durban. P.M.
