Until 1910, St John’s College had admitted boys only from the age of eight or when they could read. At the beginning of 1911, however, the Preparatory School, receiving boys from six years old, was opened, with eighteen ‘fine little boys’. The Headmaster, Fr Nash, opined that ‘these little folk are best in the hands of ladies.’ The head of the Prep was Miss C. H. Turner, assisted by Miss Hutcheson.
The Prep (which was more or less the equivalent of the present Pre-Prep) was accommodated in the Golf House, which was ideal for its purposes: ‘apart, yet sufficiently near, with two airy and sunny classrooms.’ The Prep’s tuition fees were £3 3s. per term, stationery included; an additional amount of 2s. 6d. per term was charged for games equipment.
Hitherto the school had rented the Golf House from the golf club. The Council now decided to buy the Golf House, together with its adjoining land, at a price of £1,700. As a result, the College property now extended over fifteen acres, ‘and continues our ground along the ridge with its glorious view,’ wrote Fr Nash. On the upper floor of Golf House, a large bathroom was fitted up, and internal alterations were made to provide ampler and more convenient dormitories. The basement, with its ‘grand storage space’, was also opened up.
Around this time, the rough track from Harrow Road (now Joe Slovo Drive) down to the Golf House was upgraded into ‘a passable dirt road, negotiable in inclement weather for carriages and bicycles and for those arriving by tram.’ The tram line ran along Morgan Avenue (now Louis Botha Avenue). Many boys travelled to school by tram, and then walked down a narrow tree-lined lane to the school.
Some boys, however, rode to school on their ponies. For their convenience, Council authorised a disbursement of £20 for the erection of stables (really little more than a shed) where, at a fee of 5s. per term, these equestrian Johannians could shelter their ponies while they were attending lessons.
The College Debating Union had been in existence for a few years. However, Fr Nash observed that it was not easy to maintain a debating society in a school that was predominantly a day school. Boys’ natural inclination in the afternoon, after school, was ‘rather to play cricket, while in the evening a house cannot so well be assembled.’
These obstacles notwithstanding, two debates were held in Lent Term. In one of these, the motion ‘That the teaching of Latin ought to be abolished’ was debated with animation before a full house. It was proposed by Rupert Pilkington Jordan (Nash) seconded by Gilbert Reynolds (Nash), and opposed by Wilhelm Küsel (Thomson) and Harry Greville Freeman (Alston). The ‘modernisers’ carried it by 50 to 24 amid great enthusiasm. (As it transpired, this enthusiasm was premature: it remained compulsory until 1962 for all St John’s boys to study Latin up to the end of Upper IV.)
The College 1st XI enjoyed a successful Lent Term, recording victories over Standard Bank (by 68 runs), Booysens (by 150 runs), Jeppestown (by two wickets), the Fathers (of the paternal, rather than the ecclesial, type, by thirteen runs) and the Old Boys (by eleven runs).
In the match against Jeppestown High School, the St John’s bowlers ‘were on the spot’ and bowled Jeppe out for 35. St John’s then made 89. In their second innings, Jeppe quickly scored 82/5 and then declared, leaving St John’s to chase 26 in failing light. This evidently shook the St John’s boys’ nerves: wicket after wicket fell but, fortunately, Leslie Patlansky (Nash) came to the rescue to salvage victory by two wickets.
The Fathers (captained by Mr Greathead) had a strong team. Thanks to 7/18 taken by Mr George Kempis (who had played for Transvaal from 1892-1894 and who had been a member of the South African team that toured England in 1894), they dismissed St John’s for 64. The captain, Eric Bell (Thomson), and Harry Freeman rose to the occasion: taking four and six wickets respectively, they dismissed the Fathers for 51. In the second innings, St John’s produced an improved batting display, scoring 184/6 (Bell 60*, Percy Johnstone 50), and won by thirteen runs on the first innings.
Johannesburg College scored 222/9, leaving St John’s 1¾ hours in which to chase that target. The first wicket fell before any runs had been scored, but then Leonard Denny (Alston) and Willy Ogilvie (Alston) carried the score to 105 before the latter was bowled. Ultimately, bad light brought the match to a premature close, St John’s having reached 115/3 (Ogilvie 59). In mid-1911, Johannesburg College occupied its new premises up St Patrick’s Road from St John’s, and changed its name to King Edward VII School, in honour of the British monarch who had died in May 1910.
The match against Marist Brothers’ College was also drawn. They made 101/7 (Freedman 49). St John’s had 90/5 when stumps were drawn.
The Past v Present match was played at the College on 25 March. The Old Boys’ XI included three first-league players in Harold Gillman, Charlie Read and John Edward Smith. The College struggled to 26/4 before Ogilvie (29, 6x4) and Patlansky (21) made a good stand to take the score to 67. However, at 80/8 matters did not look promising but Ferguson Rettie (the goalkeeper of the College association football first team) and Cyril Holliday added 21 for the ninth wicket, St John’s being all out for 102. For the Old Boys, Cracroft Marshall had bowling figures of 5-2-6-3, and Clive Hutchinson also took three wickets.
The Old Boys reached 86/6, thus needing only seventeen runs to win with four wickets intact. However, Bell and Freeman bowled well to dismiss them for 91, the College thus winning by eleven runs. Freeman took 5/34 and Bell had the impressive figures of 9-2-10-4. Bell was described in the Rand Daily Mail as ‘an extremely fast bowler [who] has a nice action, and possesses the invaluable merit of being able to bowl with his head.’ ‘No word of praise [was] too great for the fielding of the present pupils, and the keenness they displayed, especially in the closing stages of the game, was worthy of the best traditions of the sport.’
The College’s old friends at Nourse Mines, south of Johannesburg, invited the 1st XI for a visit. St John’s had played against Nourse Mines sporadically since the time of the Anglo-Boer South African War. The mining magnate Henry Nourse was president of the South African National Olympic Committee. As always, the College delegation was treated to an excellent lunch. Regrettably, though, rain caused the match to be abandoned. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise: the mine manager had ‘assembled so formidable a team that there is no answering for the consequences if we had played it out.’
During the 1910/’11 season, the 1st XI played 22 matches of which fourteen were won, five were drawn and only three (against Bank of Africa, Norwood Cricket Club and Mr Shaw’s XI) were lost. ‘And generally in the draws we have had a strong position.’ The fielding was better than in any previous year, although it still needed practice and attention. Fr Nash thanked Mr F. W. Bell and his friends for encouraging this aspect of the game by presenting three bats and a ball. He also thanked Fr Alston (‘our devoted Games master’) and Mr Shaw (‘whose experience and participation have helped much’), and especially Mr Atfield (‘our admirable coach’) for their contributions to ‘a most successful season’. He said that Atfield was ‘a born teacher and brings along his boys wonderfully’.
Ogilvie headed the batting averages, having scored a century (110 against Booysens) and two fifties. Freeman took 66 wickets at an average of 10.03, and Bell took 65 at 9.09. Eric Gordon Israel (Nash) (‘a keen, indefatigable fielder’, who was also the captain of the College’s football first team, a ‘first-rate athlete’ and one-time victor ludorum) won the fielding prize. (Israel, ‘the best fielder at cricket we have ever had’ and the Transvaal junior lawn tennis champion, died on Empire Day, 24 May, the following year.)
The 2nd and 3rd cricket teams had mixed success. The 4th XI won their only game, against St Mary’s Choir. The Juniors played two matches against Johannesburg College, winning one and losing one, while also winning and drawing against Park Town School.
Fr Alston’s House (captain: L. G. Denny) won the House Cricket Championship for 1910/’11, with Fr Thomson’s House (captain: E. B. Bell) a close second. Fr Hill’s House (captain: C. A. de V. Pritchard) came third, and the Headmaster’s House (captain: E. G. Israel) had the wooden spoon.
Meanwhile, Johann Wilhelm (‘Billy’) Zulch O. J. was enjoying a successful tour of Australia with the Springbok cricket team. He made 42 in the first innings of the second Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground, and left his sick bed to come in to bat at number 9 in the second innings in a futile effort to save the match. He then recorded his maiden Test century (105) in the first innings of the third Test at the Adelaide Oval, followed by 76 against Tasmania. In the second innings of the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he scored 150 in nearly five hours at the crease. He averaged 39.33 in the Test series, placing him second in the averages after Aubrey Faulkner, who scored 732 runs (including 204 in the second Test at the M. C. G.) at an average of 73.20.
Fr Nash recorded pride, in the ‘Old Boys’ column of his Letter of Lent Term, at Zulch’s performances in Australia: ‘We sent him a cable on the occasion of his making 105 at Adelaide in the third test match, and have had a kind letter in reply.’
Fr Nash also mentioned that Bertram Floquet O. J. and Neville Lindsay O. J. were playing for Transvaal. On 20 and 21 March 1911, Transvaal played against Griqualand West in the Currie Cup tournament at Lord’s in Durban. Lindsay took 4/27 in the Griqualand West first innings and scored 99 in the Transvaal first innings, in which Floquet scored 104. Against Western Province, at the same venue on 27 and 28 March 1911, Floquet scored 87 and Lindsay 64. Floquet also scored fifties against Eastern Province and Orange Free State. Lindsay took nine wickets in the tournament, at an average of 17.11.
Fr Nash also wrote that the Old Boys, having made a ‘gallant beginning’ in the football league the previous year, were stronger in 1911 and had done better. ‘In time we must hope to emulate the Marists’ Old Boys.’ The Revd Sidney Dunstan, who had been one of the first generation of Johannians, was the secretary of the Old Boys’ Association, with Douglas Kelvington Hattersley (Thomson, 1908) as his assistant. Arthur Holliday (1899) was the chairman of the O. B. A. committee, and the other committee members were Gerald Clarence (1904), Ernest Hurley (1904) and Frank McKowen (1904).
Fr Nash bemoaned the fact that some boys were habitually successful in persuading their parents that the first and last few days of term do not matter: ‘I trust parents will no more be beguiled. … This practice is most demoralising to the boys and most unsatisfactory to the school,’ he wrote. ‘To stop this evil we have decided to give heavy marks for simple attendance on the first and last days of term.’ Plus ça change …
During 1911, a religious order known as ‘The Teaching Brothers of St John’ was launched, with Nash, Alston and Thomson as members. It was a teaching fraternity, distinct from the Community of the Resurrection but under its authority. While it was intended that C. R. brethren would form the nucleus of the order, most of its members would be lay tertiaries subject to its rules. Nash was the chief protagonist of the order. He argued that employment of members of the religious order as teachers at St John’s would keep fees low and prevent the school from becoming a preserve of the rich. Ultimately, however, it proved impossible to attract sufficient numbers of lay teachers into the order.
Almost as soon as St John’s College had relocated, in 1907, from the downtown Tin Temple to the new premises on the Houghton Ridge, Fr Nash had begun to prioritise the construction of a gymnasium as the next step in the extension of the College buildings. He repeatedly wrote about the importance of having a gymnasium, and repeatedly appealed to friends of the College for donations to finance this project.
Several fundraising activities were arranged by the school, including a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry V – ‘not of course that the acting is going to be so good,’ wrote Fr Nash with a hint of humility (or was that mere realism?), ‘but for the sake of the cause.’ A concert was also held in the hall of the old Wanderers Club, the highlights of the evening being performances by a Haydn String Quartet and by the choir of St Mary’s the Less, which had recently won the local Eisteddfod. Fr Nash commented laconically afterwards: ‘The amount of benefit to the gymnasium I have not yet heard.’
Eventually, however, Fr Nash reported on progress with the project: ‘Already some of our parents and friends have subscribed and with money promised we can count on £400. … One noble father has sent £1, with a promise to repeat this every month till the roof is on.’
A performance of Twelfth Night on 11 September 1909 raised £70 for the project. Two concerts were held at the New Rietfontein Gold Mine’s recreation club; these raised a further £40 17s. Fr Nash then reported that ‘the Gymnasium Fund, with promises in money and kind, may now be reckoned at £700. Messrs Baker and Massey and Fleming are terribly busy with very important work, but as soon as we can get detailed plans, we shall know when it is safe to begin to build.’
Alas, several months later no progress had been made because, said Fr Nash, ‘building estimates seem to rise without any conscience.’ Although the school had, in the meantime, raised another £200 from the Witwatersrand Council of Education, and Lord Selborne had contributed a further £25, what was ‘wanted now [was] some strong friend of Church schools to come down with £500 and clear us off.’ A semester later, Fr Nash reported that an anonymous donor had contributed a further £100, which brought the total fund to £1,000.
Finally, at the beginning of 1911, construction of the long-desired gymnasium commenced. His pride barely concealed, Fr Nash could now report: ‘First the thunder of the blasting, as the kopje gradually delivered itself into the masons’ hands; then the splendid wall with its buttresses rising out of the side of the valley; then the arrival of the great roof timbers; then the iron for the roof – and by this time the Gymnasium had become a conspicuous object from the tram up in Harrow Road. … Indeed the hall, 90 feet by 40, with a good stage, is magnificent.’
The formal opening of the gymnasium (later converted into Big School) took place on Victoria Day, 24 May 1911, a day blessed with glorious weather. The school choir sang the ‘Soldier’s Chorus’ from Gounod’s Faust and the Largo from Handel’s ‘Xerxes’. Lord Methuen (Governor of Natal) was the guest of honour. In ‘a typically racy speech’, he conceded that he had an unfortunate knack, when asked to officiate at opening ceremonies, of forgetting actually to declare the relevant facility open; and so he declared the gymnasium open at the beginning of his speech, rather than at the end.
Lord Methuen said that South Africa needed schools which could vie with the schools of England in the matters of both education and physical exercise: ‘Schools like yours are of the greatest importance in the country because they attach great importance, not only to educational development, but also to the formation and building of character. The education of the mind and the body goes together. I look upon brains as absolutely essential to the formation of man’s character, but what would lead man up to the development of brains is the development of the body as much as possible.’
The gymnasium, designed by Frank Fleming of Messrs Baker & Fleming, and eventually constructed at a cost of £2,200, was described as follows in a report published in the Transvaal Leader:
‘The hall is an imposing-looking edifice, built of stone taken from the kopjes on which the building stands, which had to be excavated for the purpose of putting in the foundations. It is set off inside by massive pillars of dark teak, whilst the roof is supported by beams of the same material, which give it an air of solidity which does not in the least detract from its brightness. It is well lit by windows on either side, and the ventilation is all that could be desired. The hall, without the rooms at either end, measures 90 feet by 40 feet, and is one of the largest halls of the kind in Johannesburg, whilst it can safely be said that there is no hall in the town better adapted for the purpose for which it was erected. … The floor is the best the writer has seen in a gymnasium, being superior to any in this country, and it would not be easy to find a better one anywhere. There is a platform at the west end of the hall which can be utilised for every description of school function; for the acoustic properties of the hall are excellent; and it will prove an excellent stage for concert and dramatic purposes.’
So we learn that, originally, the raised platform was at the west end of the hall. The present stage, at the east end of Big School, was only installed in 1934.
The football first team, captained by Eric Israel (Nash), started the season with several good results in friendly matches, including victories over a Clergy team (4-1) and over the Old Boys (who ‘did not send up a strong enough team’, 6-1). Unfortunately, these results induced excessive confidence. When the league games came, the team was ‘not sufficiently together’. This led to defeats to Johannesburg College (2-4), Jeppe (1-4) and Marists (2-5), although there were consolation victories over Twist Street School (3-1), Shop Assistants (7-3) and Yeoville (5-4). Dr Taylor-Broun, who had played for Scotland, and Sergeant-Major Chalmers, who had played for South Africa, provided coaching assistance.
The College staged a performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest in June 1911. In accordance with tradition, the dress rehearsal took place at the Rietfontein lazaretto. Some actors appeared too excited and were ‘shaky’ in their parts. After much hard work, a ‘splendid’ performance was given at Nourse Mines two days later. This was followed by a performance in the new school gymnasium, given to entertain the nurses from various hospitals and nursing homes and the Medical Staff Corps (of which Fr Thomson was the chaplain).
Finally, on Wednesday 21 June, the gala performance took place in the gymnasium with its excellent acoustic properties. Both the Transvaal Leader and The Star heaped praise on the production: ‘The rendering was in every way excellent; almost all the lads acted well and sympathetically; the enunciation was clear, and the elocution good.’ Arthur Villett (Alston) ‘showed careful study and thorough comprehension’ in the role of Prospero, and his good voice enabled him ‘to do full justice to the many soliloquies.’
Master Robinson Greathead (Alston) and Master John Greathead (Alston) were commended for their performances as Miranda and Ariel, respectively. ‘Miranda usually remembered that she was a sweet maiden for the evening, and her reception of Ferdinand’s advances was all that such a maiden’s should be under so peculiar circumstances.’ Master Kenneth Johnston (Alston) also received lavish praise for his performance of the difficult part of Caliban, ‘except on occasion when he let his sense of humour get the better of his sense of injustice.’
After the entertainment, refreshments were supplied ‘on so ample a scale by more than forty mothers, that even after the boys had done there was a store to be sent to S. Mary’s Orphanage.’
At the end of Easter Term, Mr Murray (who had been teaching Latin and Greek, and who had been assistant housemaster of Nash’s House) returned to Oxford to prepare for ordination. The College welcomed Mr David Jones B. A. (London) M. A. (Jesus College, Oxford), previously on the staff of St David’s College School, Lampeter, Wales, to the school. On Ascension Day, the school made the customary excursion up the hill to St Aidan’s Church, Yeoville, where the boys were addressed by the Revd Sidney Dunstan, the first Old Johannian to have been ordained.
Towards the end of Trinity Term, a seven-year-old Prep boy, William Caldwell, developed measles. He was evacuated to the Rietfontein lazaretto, where he contracted scarlet fever and passed away. Fr Nash and the Council required no further persuasion to approve plans for the building of a sanatorium, where boys with infectious diseases could be held in quarantine.
Fr Nash and the Old Boys’ Association agreed that it would be a good idea to hold an annual festival, to be known as the ‘Annual Gaudy’, on Ascension Day. The following Old Boys were elected to the Association’s committee: J. B. Powrie (1899) (chairman), R. D. Pilkington Jordan (Nash, 1911) (secretary), the Revd S. Dunstan (1898), S. B. Stokes, E. Hurley (1904) and F. van den Berg (Alston, 1908). The annual membership subscription was fixed at 5s.
Towards the end of 1911 (by which time enrolment had grown to 180), the Witwatersrand Council of Education provided St John’s with an advance in the sum of £2,000 to enable it to acquire a further seven acres contiguous to the existing grounds. This was the land on which Endean and Burger fields were, in time, to materialise.
This expansion was part of the gradual implementation of Fr Nash’s grand vision of a St John’s College that would eventually have grounds and facilities comparable to those of the great English public schools that provided the model for St John’s.
At the time, it must have seemed a far-fetched, if not delusional, vision. Many years later, Canon Redvers Percival Yates Rouse O. J. (who attended St John’s from 1911 to 1915) remembered ‘how Okey, with a great smile on his face, entered the room carrying a large framed plan. He called us out to the kopje and then displayed his possession to us. It was the plan of the future St John’s College. As we kicked about the stones of the kopje we laughed at him. He saw the plans rise in stone before he left South Africa to return to Mirfield.’
The 1st XI did not have a particularly successful Advent Term. The bowling was weak and the fielding was not as good as the previous year. Bell was ill for the first half of the term and afterwards struggled to regain form. Johnstone was also absent for several weeks as a result of an accident.
In an exciting game, the 1st XI scored 112 against the Fathers’ XI, who were then dismissed for 107. St John’s recorded an emphatic victory, by an innings and eleven runs, over the Transvaal Rubber Co XI. Ogilvie (60) and Bell (58) batted well in the innings of 206/4 against the Clergy XI, who were in trouble at 21/4 before good innings by Messrs Ponsonby and Parnell secured a draw. The match against Pretoria Cathedral was drawn due to rain, St John’s having scored 153/4. Defeats were incurred against Mr Shaw’s XI (by 118 runs), W. L. Stanton’s XI (by 77 runs), E. R. P. M. Juniors (by 42 runs) and the Old Boys (by 42 runs).
On 8 November 1911, St John’s played against Jeppestown High School at Belgravia. After having been 78/8, St John’s reached 135 thanks to the contributions of Gerald Frost (Nash) (39*), Pritchard (Hill) (34) and Ogilvie (20). Jeppe won by five wickets, Bell and Hugh Theunissen (Alston) taking two wickets each.
St John’s played against K. E. S. at their new grounds on 18 and 25 November. St John’s batted first, the innings being conspicuous for a fine score of 102 by Ogilvie (‘perhaps the best innings ever played for the school’, for which he was given a bat by Mr Bertram). However, Ogilvie received little support; the team was dismissed for 186 (25 extras being the next highest score). K. E. S. made 260/9. The wickets were shared between Bell maior, Bell minor, Johnstone, Theunissen and Ogilvie.
Ogilvie had a batting average in excess of 30. Theunissen was the leading wicket-taker but was expensive. The 2nd XI beat Clifton Wesleyans and lost to Jeppe. The 3rd XI beat Jeppe and Marist Brothers’ Boarders. The 4th XI beat Bramley School. The Juniors beat St Mary’s Choir and K. E. S., drew with P. T. S., and lost the return matches to K. E. S. and P. T. S.
Mr B. C. Haynes presented the House Challenge Shield, for which the Houses were henceforth to compete in cricket on an annual basis. Fr Nash wrote, towards the end of 1911, that his house was in the lead, ‘and I hope we shall have the glory of being the first to inscribe our names on the splendid trophy.’ But alas for human ambition: it was to be Alston’s House (captained by L. G. Denny in 1911 and by W. H. Ogilvie in 1912) that won the Shield at the end of the 1911/’12 season.
In addition to writing the entry on ‘Sisterhoods’ for the 1911 edition of Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Fr Nash assisted with cricket coaching. Four decades later, an Old Johannian could still ‘picture him in a battered straw hat bowling slow left-handers to us boys at the nets. I came to be Captain of the 3rd XI but I can’t remember now that the 3rd XI covered itself with glory under my leadership.’
The annual match between Sir Abe Bailey’s XI and the Johannesburg Schools XXI was played at the Wanderers on 19 December. Five St John’s boys were selected for the Schools team: Eric Bell, Gerald Frost, Willy Ogilvie, Leonard Denny and Hugh Theunissen. The schoolboys batted first and scored 321. Down the order, Theunissen hit up 24 very speedily. During the luncheon interval, Fr Nash, on behalf of the Schools, formally thanked Sir Abe for arranging the match. Sir Abe’s team went in to bat after lunch and scored 176/7. Bell had bowling figures of 6-2-10-2, for which he received the bowling prize.
The Visitor, Bishop Furse, was the guest speaker at the Prize-Giving, held in the ‘spacious Gymnasium’ on 14 December. (The term ‘Speech Day’ was not yet in use.) The Lord Bishop delivered a ‘characteristically vigorous and encouraging address.’ He said he was certain that no education that was not based on a distinctly religious foundation would ultimately be any good to anybody. It was important that ‘the staff must be themselves convinced of their faith, and try to live it in their lives.’
The ceremony was attended by the Superior of the Community of the Resurrection, the Revd Dr Walter Frere (later Bishop of Truro). Leonard Denny received the Form V Divinity Prize and the Form Prize. He was also Senior Prefect and the boys elected him winner of the Good Fellowship Prize. Rupert Pilkington Jordan received the English prize, Eric Bell the Mathematics and Science prizes, and Hyman Leslie Patlansky the French prize. (Patlansky went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University and, in 1915, played for Edinburgh in their victory over Glasgow Academicals R. F. C.)
St John’s entered six candidates for the Cape matriculation examination. All of them passed – a significant improvement on the previous year’s results, when raised standards had resulted in high failure rates.
