Junior School Hygiene

One vivd memory of my school days at Coghlan School Bulawayo was to do with the toilet!!
It all came back to me when my Wee Boy was poorly with an upset tummy....of course we call it upset tummy in Africa, but I believe its called RotaVirus elsewhere!! and washing hands is probably the biggest defence....

Getting backoghlan School, the prefects, (of which I was one in Standard Five, I might hasten to add) had to stand on each side of the double door of the toilet block, and say to each and every tiny student 'Have you washed your hands and pulled the chain '

Now I never knew what they were saying until I became a prefect myself. Those terrifying Senior girls, who were viewed with awe and worship by us babies, could have been casting an evil spell on us for all we knew! They said those important words so many times during break time that they were muddled into almost mumbo jumbo!!

Seven years into Coghlan, when I was made an esteemed prefect, and my class teacher was the beautiful Mrs Hutchens, I at last found out what those magic words were, but it held me in good stead for the rest of my life. Even in the most awful of drought years, not washing my hands and pulling the chain was anathema to me....

First worlders might wonder where 'pulling the chain' came from Well we had tanks, Shanks Tanks I think they were called, positioned really high above the toilet seat, just below the ceiling in fact, for a good 'head' of water. From these high cisterns, dropped a long chain, and if one was tiny, one could only just reach the tip of the chain by standing on tippy toes. So in fact 'pulling the chain' with some conviction was for Balletomanes only!! I wonder if those same antideluvian loos still exist at Coghlan School today

I do worry, now that I have to do my own housework, that I am upholding the standards of cleanliness that we Zimbabweans have always set for ourselves!! Hence my concern over hygiene with a Wee Bairn around. HeeHoo is a Microbiologist and offers stern admonishment to us all when unclean germs were suspected!!

Other glorious memories of Coghlan School, were that amazing lady headmistress was her name Mrs Fitzsimmons I clearly remember her bun tightly coiled at the back of her head, and the stern chain that help her spectacles to her indomitable chest!! Of course then there was Standard Two with my absolute favourite teacher Miss Jean MacDonald, she taught me to write a most elegant cursive and that year I won the handwriting competition. I swear to this day my hand writing has not changed one tiny bit!!

How well I remember that uniform, I wonder if it is still the same today Pale blue and white and festooned with delicate Plumbago flowers, well know to be Cecil John Rhodes favourite flower!!!

Coghlan School is looking wonderful these days. They have a gorgeous new palisade fence around the property and they are building new classrooms. I do wonder about the siting of the modern classroom block, smack bang in front of their beautiful old world hall, but perhaps they have the bigger picture in mind

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO
THURSDAY 14 DECEMBER MEET ME IN ST.LOUIS
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
Sally Benson's short stories about the turn-of-the-century Smith family of St. Louis were tackled by a battalion of MGM screenwriters, who hoped to find a link to connect the anecdotal tales. After several false starts, the result was the charming valentine-card musical Meet Me in St. Louis. The plot hinges on the possibility that Alonzo Smith, the family's banker father, might uproot the Smiths to New York, scuttling his daughter Esther (Judy Garland)'s romance with boy-next-door John Truett and causing similar emotional trauma for the rest of the household. The songs are a heady combination of period tunes and newly minted numbers by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin, the best of which are The Boy Next Door, The Trolley Song and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
'Judy Garland has never been more spirited or more poignant.' [Observer, 18 December 2011]
'One of the great musicals.' [Time Out, 24 June 2006]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 15 DECEMBER MASSENET: WERTHER
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
Massenet's romantic opera Werther is based on Goethe's loosely autobiographical novel The Sorrows of Young Werther in which the hopeless love of the poet Werther for Charlotte, and her agonising responses reaches its tragic conclusion on Christmas Eve. In his first appearance in the role of Werther in Paris in January 2010, Jonas Kaufmann gave an astonishing performance as Werther which took the French operatic world by storm and he was supported by a superb French cast, including Sophie Koch as Charlotte and Ludovic Tezier as Albert.
'Kaufmann's singing...is rich and often extremely beautiful.. .[Koch] is a touching and dignified Charlotte... the playing is thoughtful and intense, and every care is taken over detail.' [Gramophone]
'On DVD it comes beautifully to life, with Sophie Koch's Charlotte much more involving in close-up than she was at a distance and Jonas Kaufmann an absolute dream of a Werther. Their scorching Act 3 duet will simply blow your head off.' [The Telegraph]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00):

SATURDAY 16 DECEMBER A CAROL SERVICE
ROBERT SIBSON HALL AT 7.00 P.M.
A traditional carol service with Wings Over Jordan and guest performers.
Admission free

N.B. WEDNESDAY 20 DECEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. BACH: CHRISTMAS ORATORIO - BALLET
Head of Hamburg Ballet, American-born John Neumeier has made a name for himself with dramatic, story-driven ballets. Over the years, he has found great inspiration from emotion-packed works of literature, poetry and music and he turns Bach's Christmas Oratorio into an experience that confronts us all with the most basic questions of trust, hope, faith, doubt and self-sacrifice: 'My choreography is not a religious undertaking. We perform to Bach's music, for a few hours unifying individuals of many different cultural and religious backgrounds. For me, the basic human values expressed through the choreography are always the most important thing. Therefore, in my ballet, Mary is known simply as "the Mother" and Joseph as "her Husband".'
'Christmas Oratorio' is brilliantly choreographed dance. It depicts the different and gradual merging of the human feelings of Christmas with that of a higher realm, expressing joy. It is very well filmed with imaginative lighting. All the dancers are excellent and show very good acting skills that are very important for the choreography of John Neumeier... this is a work of genius. [Amazon]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Christmas dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00)

THURSDAY 21 DECEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. PETER PAN
In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerises her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland. Wendy and her brothers join Peter and the Lost Boys in an exhilarating life - free of grown-up rules - while also facing the inevitable showdown with Hook and his bloodthirsty pirates.
'Quite simply, one brilliant film - the kind where you think: Yes, this is what movies should be like!' [Mountain Xpress ]
'Both enchantingly old-fashioned and daringly modern. [New York Daily News]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

SUNDAY 31 DECEMBER A TRIPLE BILL FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE
'Swinging Christmas' with John Wilson and His Orchestra - Ronnie Barker - Les Trockaderos
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner during the interval ($10.00)

THURSDAY 4 JANUARY 2018 AT 7.00 P.M. BELLE
An inspiring story of love and perseverance, 'Belle' is s based on the real-life story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, the mixed-race, illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic Royal Navy admiral and an African slave trying to find her way in 18th-century English society. It traces her unusual upbringing at Kenwood House, her romance with a young lawyer and their fight against slavery. Starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Belle, the cast also includes Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson and Miranda Richardson.
'A finely wrought tale of a woman out of time, a film that plays eloquently upon the heartstrings as it interweaves familiar personal intrigue with stirring social history.' [Observer]
'Wonderful true story about a mixed-race woman raised in an aristocratic British family in the late 18th century; like the best Jane Austen romance with an angry social conscience.' [Flick Filosopher]
'It's hard to imagine the true story of Britain's first mixed-race aristocrat being told more elegantly than in this warm and often very funny period piece, which brings a subtle political gravitas to its central fairy-tale romance.' [Radio Times]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 5 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. H.M.S.PINAFORE & TRIAL BY JURY
While 'HMS Pinafore' was Gilbert and Sullivan's first full-length satirical work and first major international success, 'Trial by Jury' was their first collaboration and the show's outrageous antics made it the toast of London. This double bill is staged by Opera Australia and Anthony Warlow, Australia's musical theatre superstar, is at the helm as the 'right good captain' and on the bench as a 'good judge' too!
'Delightfully playful with just the right balance of tongue-in-cheek humour.' [The Daily Telegraph]
'One of the best if not the best productions of "Pinafore" I have seen and in nearly seventy years of watching a lot of versions that is saying something!' [Amazon]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00)

THURSDAY 11 & FRIDAY 12 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. FRANKENSTEIN
A 'Frankenstein' triple bill to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley's novel on 1 January 1818! On Thursday the famous film starring Boris Karloff will be followed by Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein' with Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman and Madeline Kahn. On Friday Federico Bonelli, Laura Morera and Steven McRae dance the lead roles in Liam Scarlett's new work for the Royal Ballet, first seen in 2016.

Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members Thursday, Red Carpet members Friday]
