OUR CADETS AT PORT DICKSON CAMP, 1931.

On the first Sunday evening of the Easter holidays, a group
of Cadets, derived mostly from N.C.O’s. attending the Proficiency
Class, met at the Malay Drill Hall in full uniform. The passage
was filled with the ample baggage we had brought, as our stay at
Port Dickson was going to be about a week.

We drew service rifles and under the direction of Capt. C. A.
Scott marched to Pank Road Station where the night train was
already waiting; soon we were chasing through the dark towards a
different world, everyone being full of pleasurable expectations of the
“ jolly good ” time we were going to have. It was 4 a.m. when we
arrived at Seremban, still not feeling the slightest trace of tiredness,
although we had a competition as to who could keep awake longest.
We changed trains, and hence travelled in a carriage coupled to a
" fish train ”. It took us to the nearest station to Port Dickson;
it was raining refreshingly as we changed from train to buses, and
that we arrived at Camp at 7.30. The first thing we assured our­
selves of was that there stretched a beautiful beach with two good
bathing pagars close at hand. We made ourselves “ at home ” in
the barracks. Besides us there were Cadets of most Malayan Corps.

After a hearty breakfast we were called out to our first parade.
I he C.S.M. of the M.S.V.R. showed us the correct way of getting
on parade. At first we were frightened by the volume of his com­
mands, but we soon became used to it and acted smarter than ever.
We christened him “ Elope Arms ” because of the tone he gave to
the particular command he imparted to us.

I he programme of the day was thus arranged throughout the
week: Reveille 6.30 a.m., early tea at 7, first parade 7.30, then
breakfast and two more parades till 12.30. From then on we were
free for the rest of the day—and we certainly made the most of our
leisure hours! Swimming, playing cards, football, games and other
:sports were thoroughly enjoyed, while some conscientious boys
cleaned their kit in preparation for the next morning’s parade.

On the second day we had a friendly soccer match with the
Service Co., out of which we emerged as the winners. Our wits
were ever busy, creating new jokes and affixing nick-names to other
boys, instructors, and, (let it be whispered), to all officers we came
in contact with.

At morning parades we learnt interesting subjects, and doubts
concerning military matters were cleared by very good instructors.

T H E RAFFLESIAN 43

Among those subjects were: making use of ground and formations,
fire and movement, arms drill, visual training, a shamfight, etc.

0 , yes, we certainly had enough exercise, and that in every
possible form.

As the weather was excellent, we made afternoon parties to
the little nest, Port Dickson (the camp lies about 4 miles out), and
we almost put the one-house-town— as we condescended to call it-—•
on its head!

The evenings were spent at the “ Rough-House,” or, in better
English, the canteen, and in walking, singing and whistling along.
A novel feature which we came across was the guard. One night
our inimitable “ Chandu ” attempted to avoid the vicinity of the
guard room and set out on a round about way through darkness,
stubborn bush and rough country. In the meanwhile we were
waiting for him at the “ rough-house,” quite unaware of his action.
He soon turned up—but in what a condition! He was covered
from the topmost shirt button to the soles, and much further
beneath, with slimy, dripping mud. In between our roars of laughter
my poor friend had quite a hard time explaining that in the darkness
he had come up to a large drain but, misjudging its dimensions, took
a flying leap, which should have carried him safely over to the
other side. Great had been his horror as he realised his fatal mistake
and fell right into the middle of an evil-smelling brew! However,
let us draw the curtain of discretion over the dishonourable scene.

Special events which took place during our stay were the football
match of the Combined Cadets versus the Port Dickson Club, the
Inter-School-Rifle-Shoot and the Sham Fight.

The football match took place in Port Dickson itself. We all
rode to town to see it. A large crowd of spectators was present, and
we had the time of our lives in counter-cheering the native crowd.
The teams appeared well-matched; however, in the end the Club
was victorious with three goals to its credit as against our only one,
scored by L/Cpl. Kathirava'iu. On our way back after the match
we immediately set about composing a song in honour of our scorer,
which master piece we communicated loudly to the world abroad.

Afternoon shooting practices helped to prepare us for the Inter-
School-Rifle-Shoot which Raffles won with a total score of 296 out
of a possible 360. Next in order of merit were St. Xavier’s Inst.,
Penang, total 232, St. Joseph’s, Singapore, 208, Penang Free School,
194, Malacca High School, 160, and the Anglo Chinese School,
Penang, 98.

44 T H E RAFFLESIAN

Our individual scores out of a possible 60 were:-—

L/Cpl. T. Kathiravalu 54

L/Sgt. G. Valberg 53

L/Cpl. M. Bolter 52

Sgt. Looi Eng San 51

Corp. Ong Siow Leong 48

L/Cpl. Looi Koh Seng 38

The sham fight took place on the last day of our sojourn in
Camp. The Cadet Force was to attack the Camp which was being
held by the Service Co. It fell to Raffies to act as Lewis Gun
Section. L/Cpl. V— , who was No. 1, had to handle the Gun
itself, weight about 100 lbs., and carry it over uneven country.
No. 2 carried a real revolver (not loaded of course), ammunition,
spare parts and hold-all for the Lewis Gun, while 3, 4, 5, 6 formed
the rifle squad, and 5, 6 were scouts. There was preliminary
creeping advance over difficult and trying ground, through streams
and swamps, but when we came to rest in a good position we were
rewarded by being allowed to fire. The fight over, we assembled
at camp, were obliged to listen to the officers pouring out criticisms
of our movements, were dismissed and saw the Malacca and
Penang Cadets preparing to break Ca.mp. We had formed many
friendships with the boys and gave them a suitable send off, (L/Cpl.
K—firing blankshots), for we were all “ mixers.”

That same afternoon, Saturday, most of us had the oppor­
tunity of shooting with .303 rifles.. But at last, we too, made
preparations for departure. After the last dinner in Camp we
boarded buses which took us to Seremban Station, whence we had
a nocturnal trip to Singapore.

I am sure that all of us, as we arrived at Tank Road, felt
that it was funny getting back to “ civilian ” life again, and I
am also certain we all felt the same regret that camp was over,
for we had had a really enjoyable time, having benefited by it.
in all respects. We accordingly thanked Captain Scott in the usual
manner as we were dismissed at the station.

Bok Thai Kock is the Ping-Pong Capt. while Mohd. Kassim
and Amin b. Ketchil are Captains of the Athletic Classes I and II,
respectively.

We have been quite active during the term. Our entries for
the various games were satisfactory and practice matches with other
houses were held.

FOOTBALL.—Our Captain, Amin b. Ketchil arranged two
games with House 7. The first did not come off owing to rain
while in the second game, we defeated House 7 by 5— 2.

More matches would have been arranged but the School Sports
made us postpone the fixtures till the Second Term. Our defence
needs overhauling but the attack gave trouble to the opposing
defenders. We expect to do well in the Inter-House League.

CRICKET & HOCKEY.—It was difficult to arrange Cricket
fixtures, as the School Team *was using the field and Sports
practices were being held. However, it is hoped that matches
with other houses will be played in the Second Term. The House
Cricket Team is quite strong; seven of the players having passed the
novice stage. Hockey has not been started: the season will begin
during the Third Term. We have a strong team and are confident
of success in the Inter-House League.

At the first meeting since the new House system was established,
the following officials were elected: —

House-Secretary CHAN SEE KAN
House-Captain G oH CHA BAH
Football Captain M 0H D . SHAIK KADIR
Cricket Captain SHAHUL HAMEED
IIockey Captain SuRJAN SlNGH
Badminton Captain - TAN CHEE ENG
Volley-Ball Captain - G 0H ENG SENG

So far we have not yet played any matches with the other
Houses, but we hope that after the sports rnatches will be arranged.
At present our athletes are training for the Annual Sports and hope to
do well on the occasion.

CHAN SEE KAN,

House Secretary.

HOUSE 3.

House-Master - MR. lGNATIUS
Ilouse-Secretary
IIouse-Captain TAN K iM SwEE, Sen. A.
LESLIE SMITH, Jun. C.

At our first House Meeting we elected captains for the various
games. Except in the case of football, we had to use persuasion
in electing captains for the other games. The following are the
captains of the various games: —

Football Captain SAW CHEE LlAT
Vice-Football Captain MD. AMIN
Hockey Captain V. NAGASVARAN
Cricket Captain LESLIE SMITH
Badminton Captain - B0EY KEOK CHONG
Volley-Ball Captain - BOEY KEOK CHONG

We have not been very active for the past month or so. We
have very few entries for the various games and so we could hardly
arrange matches in the different games with other houses.

We have had a practice match in football with House VI.
We won the game (4— 2) and though it was only a practice
match, the victory made us feel that we would indeed strive hard
in the coming Inter-House Football League.

T TTF. RAFFLESIAN 47

We had a practice in Volley-Ball but only some boys turned
up. However the Volley Captain has been impressed upon the
necessity of securing a strong Volley-Ball team for the House. We
are certainly going to fight hard for honours in the Inter-House
Competition.

In cricket, there were unfortunately, scarcely enough entries.
Besides, most of the boys who have given their names are beginners,
and so the chance of our getting a good cricket XI depends upon
the ability of our captain in coaching his men.

The Hockey season has not yet started and of course we cannot
have any practice until then. We have, however, quite a good
number of names for this game.

We have not yet had any practice in Badminton but will soon
do so and we hope to pick out some good players to represent the
House.

There were only a few entries for the coming Athletic Sports.
But we are not in the least discouraged, for the few boys that have
given their names are good athletes. They are training hard to
secure honours for their House at the forthcoming Sports.

19th May, 1931.

TAN KlM SwEE,

House Secretary.

HOUSE 4.

Owing to the former six Houses of the school being re-arranged
into ten Houses, our House has an enrolment of 95 members now.
The terminal digit of ever}? member of this House is 4.

Although the outside activities of the members were not much
in evidence on the school grounds there are 46 members interested
in Football, 46 in Badminton, 31 in Volleyball, 22 in Hockey and
15 in Cricket.

A few days after the formation of the new Houses, Houses 4
and 6 had a friendly game of FootbaIl and House 4 won by three
goals to one.

Entries for the school sports closed on the 28th inst. and 15
of our members are entering for various events in Class I, 10 in
Class II and 10 in Class III. We hope that points for the House
on Sports Day will be won not only by one or two outstanding
athletes but also by a large number of other competitors.

The reorganisation of the school has somewhat reduced the
congestion of house meetings. The strength of House S is about 11S
odd. Captains of various games have been elected. At present
we have a good Volley-Ball team and a rather formidable football
eleven. The captains of Badminton and Ping-Pong have not been

idle and entertain high hopes.
Tan Soo Ann, our House Captain, has left school and Pat Tan

has now been elected House Captain. We hear that our Hockey
Captain will be leaving school shortly.

The entries for the sports are not so good as was expected,,
.classes 1 and 3 being not too numerous. We have a good number
going in for B. division, but on the whole we are prepared to give
a good account of ourselves.

T H E RAFFLESIAN 49

This house is notable for its ‘ younger set,’ which is very large;
but many are keen to take up several games. However, we are
handicapped by the fact that we have only few experienced sports­
men who would form strong teams, most of the players being
novices. Yet, we have confidence of finding an honourable place in

the Annual Sports.

CRICKET.—There have not been any practices so far, but
this will be amended soon after the sports. There are one or two
players who have a sound knowledge of the game, so that they can
give thorough instructions to those who are just taking it up.

FOOTBALL.—This is about the only game in which we have
sufficient players forthcoming. So far we had two practice matches,
one with House 4 on the 21st of April; we lost this match with a
score of 3— 1. It is the forward line which wants more dash and
ability to finish off. The ,second practice match was played with
a team of the Rangoon Road School on their ground. We won the

match with a score of 3— 2.

HOCKEY.—Vaithinathan was elected captain of this game, but
since he left school the office has become vacant. However, we will
be ready with a team when the hockey season commences. Our
material is not bad, though here, too, we will have to include some

novices.

VOLLEY-BALL.—The progress in this game is somewhat ham­
pered by the fact that there are not enough players, as was evident
in the practice match held last month. However, with more practice
we will be able to train novices in the game, and good results are

expected.

BADMINTON.—There is sufficient enthusiasm to make the
game a success. We have had one practice match with Rangoon

Road School.

M . BOLTER,

House Captain.

BADMINTON.— Meetings were held in the Hall. As there
were twenty-one entries for the game, we played amongst ourselves.
On Tuesday, 19th and Friday, 22nd May, we held our practices.
A good attendance was noted while our Housemaster enthusiastic­
ally joined in the game.

VOLLEY-BALL.—Practices were held but the attendance was
not very satisfactory. The lack of enthusiasm was due to the fact

SO T H E RAFFLESIAN

that most of the players are beginners. We lost the match against
House VI, playing with seven players.

ATHLETICS.— Mohd. Kassim and Amin b. Ketchil were
elected Captains of Classes I and II respectively. We were allotted
practice days and the Secretary arranged the practices. Entries for
the various classes were good and after the height measurement
we were left with promising material. It will not be wrong,
therefore, to say that House VI will do something in the Annual
Sports. Attendance at meetings was far from satisfactory, but we
hope that this will be remedied.

An Entertainment Committee was formed for Sports Day and
plans were made for supplying refreshments and decorations. Sub­
scriptions, however, are not coming in so well.

House Committee meetings were held on two occasions, and the
programmes for the following weeks were fixed.

T. K.

House Secretary.

HOUSE 7.

Master-in-charge - - ME. CHUNCHiE

The Election of Office fceareres for the year 1931 was held
during the latter part of April and resulted as follows: —

House-Captain E. MATHIEW

House-Secretary M. GuNARATNAM

Football Captain YAP BENG GuAN
Cricket
S. RAJAH

Hockey Captain - - F. ScHOOLiNG

Badminton Captain - - jAMES ALFRED

Volley-Ball Captain - - NG CHEONG HoNG

During the short period of six weeks we had the honour to
play two Football Matches against House I. The play were
uniformly good on both sides. But we were unfortunate in loosing
both matches.

On the whole House 7 has been doing satisfactory work so
far and we hope that our members will show more enthusiasm and
people not find us lagging behind.

Hockey Captain - - A. D ’SiLVA

Badminton Captain - - TEW CHYE GuAN

Volley-Ball Captain - - pANG PENG KEE

At our first meeting we proceeded to elect House officials. The
boys were divided into four groups having a leader to each group.
The last house meeting was in connection with the Sports and the
entries for different events and selection of House Teams were dealt
with. We have got quite a willing set of boys and I am sure that
they will all combine and do their best for the House in all the
games we play.

We have not been very active for the past month. Our boys
turned up for football but we have not played against other
houses.

Boys turn up for Volley-Ball frequently, and we have got
quite an able captain; and should be able to do great things.

In a few weeks more the Cricket Competition for Houses will
commence and we hope that as many as know about the game will
give their names to the Cricket Captain.

Quite a number of boys have given their names in for Badmin­
ton and we may be able to pick out some stars. After all you
never know what talent there is because the “ modern schoolboy ”
is always rather modest when asked if he can play a game.

Hockey commences in September and by October the House
matches will have started. So that we will have time by that to
get entries for Hockey.

Most of the boys are training hard for the coming sports,
and we wish them the best. We have a very able, and keen
House-master in Mr. Low and it will be through him, if we do well
in our athletics and games.

(a) FOOTBALL.—Up to the time of writing we have not
yet practised this game. There are quite a number of Football
enthusiasts in the house, and we hope that House 9 will be successful
in the coming inter-house matches, which it can certainly be, provided
that the players turn up for practices regularly.

(b) CRICKET AND HOCKEY.—In these two games, too,
we have not had any practices. The entries are not bad, but there
are many boys who are new to the game. Consequently we hope
that the masters in charge of these games will arrange house
practices. The attendance, generally speaking is poor; on one
occasion only about one-third of those who were asked to turn up
did so.

All players should in future turn up on Monday and Friday,
our practice-days.

Practice in other games has not yet been commenced as the
masters-in-charge of them have not arranged house-practices. We
hope to amend this by next term.

PREFECTS.—The following members of the house have been
elected prefects:—

NG CHE0NG LlNG

S. CLUNIES Ross

CHOW CHARM PAN

Congratulations to all of them.

SPORTS.—We have nominated Ng Cheong Ling athletics-
captain. The house has a few good athletes, and we hope to compete
favourably with the other houses. An entertainment committee,
to take charge of the decoration of the house and of refreshments,
has been elected with Ng Cheong Ling as Chairman. A good number
of boys have promised to contribute sufficient subscriptions, and
we predict an enjoyable time on Sports-day.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor of “ The Rafflesian.”

Sir,

May I be permitted to trespass for a brief moment in the
columns of your invaluable publication, in order to correct an
impression which is prevalent among so many of your correspon­
dents. I refer to those, who, failing to attain the required
enthusiasm which goes towards the compilation of an interesting
article for your magazine, fall back on the time-honoured but
unworthy custom of airing their private grievances in a periodical
whose circulation, I dare wager, runs into thousands, and is there­
fore a vehicle of present-day progress in all branches of public
interest, and more particularly of scholastic achievement and
research,

54 T H E RAFFLESIAN

Voicing, I believe, the opinion of the vast majority of your
readers, may I suggest that it thrills me not at all to read the
plaintive whinings of a pupil, Kathapillai, who disapproves of
Detention as a punishment for late arrivals at school.

Nor does it interest me to hear from Ali bin Ludah that there
are no cuspidors provided in his class room (always excepting the
waste paper basket).

Again I am unmoved by complaints from Poh Tun Tur that he
cannot practise for the High Jump on Saturday afternoon, because
a Cricket match is in progress.

Please, Mr. Editor, let us sink our personal grievances when
we cast our effusions into your letter-box, and let us have a broader,
nobler outlook on life. As Wilhelmina Stitch may possibly have
written:

“ Always when you write a letter
Try to make some bad man better;
Words of comfort, grains of hope
Help a sinner more than dope.”

But it is easy to criticise. What is the ideal letter for a
School Magazine? Frankly, it has not yet been written, unless,
perchance this letter of mine fulfills the demands of perfection.

Yet we cannot go far wrong if we model our correspondence
on that which is found in the British daily press. What we require
is something instructive and yet controvertial—stimulating without
being stodgy—provocative but not pedantic. There is an almost
unlimited range of subjects which will set the minds of your readers
thinking as, probably, they have never before thought. I look in
vain your correspondence column for the letter of the first reader to
see a Java sparrow nesting in the Chemistry laboratory, or a spider
spinning its’ web on the Headmastser’s Office-desk during School
hours. We have not yet been informed what is the difference in
si.ze and effect between the respective canes of R. I. and St. Joseph’s;
nor what was said by the first Chinese house-boy at having his
gaji cut in consequence of a general reduction of Government
Servants’ salaries.

No one seems willing to open up a discussion as to whether
trousers or skirts are more popular with Chinese girls—or to ask
whether Malay Syces or Indian Kranies make the better Kebuns.

More ominous still—never is there a complain from Old Boys
of the early eighties that the youth of Singapore is not nowadays
made of the stuff it was in their day,

SS

If it is thought that I take too lowbrow a view of your column,
what could be more intellectually stimulating than to launch an
enquiry as to whether Abdullah did write his “ Hikayat,” or was it
not—as there might be good reason to suppose—the work of the
same hand which wrote in collaboration the “ Pelayaran,” a book
which every modern thinking Malay student, I imagine, knows to
have been written by the Steersman of the “ Water witch ”—to
whom Abdullah constantly refers.

My time and your space, Mr. Editor, prevents further enlarge­
ment of my theme, but I confidently look for a real burst of
epistolary talent to brighten the pages of your next issue.

Yours, etc.,
PLINY.
