FORM 12C

FORM TEACHER: Mr. Kiorgaard.
FORM CAPTAIN: Karl Penna.
FORM VICE-CAPTAIN: Herbert Musch.
Form 12C feels moderately proud of its achievements this year. It may not
rank so high in personal beauty as 12A, but it holds its own in good or bad
conduct and fluent conversation with all-comers.
Our military record is not starry, but we provide the backbone of the
corps, i.e. the C.S.M., the staff-seigeant. the drum-major, a platoon-sergeant.
two bandsmen, and the oldest corporal in captivity.
The captain of the A Grade Rugby team is naturally a 12C man. and three
of us have played for the school under his command. We have a soccer player.
a swimmer . . . dear me. the list is not as impressive as I thought it was going
to be! The trouble with so many of 12C is that they pursue their hobbies in
solitude — well, not exactly in solitude, but at least nowhere near the school^
at the South Coast, for instance. Radio-engineering, record-collecting (gramo
phone rather than Olympic!) and muscle-building are absorbing pastimes, but
they shed no reflected glory on the school or on the form.
So little publicised are the hobbies and intellectual interests of 12C that
the Form Captain and Vice-Captain have been able to compile these notes only
with the assistance of a gentleman from the Security Police. We are both grate
ful to, and sorry for, Mr. Kiorgaard. whose responsibility we have been this
year; and we hope that when the Senior results are published he will not feel
that he has wasted his time.
