 Peggy Suzanne KloseBorn 12 Nov 1935 Died 9 Mar 2022, age 86 years
Married/ Related to:  Ian David SandercockSon of Ellis Sandercock and Rita Jessie Crowhurst. Born 27 May 1931 Died 25 Mar 2011 Victoria Point, Queensland, Australia, age 79 years Occupation: Farmer Some students who I remember It is sixty-eight years since I started at Gumeracha Primary School, and my short-term memory is now often unreliable. Yet, given a longer period, it is surprising how many faces and names that I remember. Apart from attending a re-union in 1982, I have had very little contact with Gumeracha or the students of the time, but I have recorded below the names of those who come readily to mind. I have included nicknames (obviously without inferring disrespect). The names are not in any order, and are faces that came before me randomly ‘out of the mist of time’ in my musings: -
The above list is limited to students of about my own age. Graham Clarke was my closest friend, and we spent a great deal of time together. We had similar interests, and were both keen on making models. When I asked Graham once what he thought was his greatest interest, he replied, ìanything in miniatureî. I nodded my feigned understanding, having no idea what the words ‘in miniature’ meant. Unfortunately Graham and I lived a considerable distance apart, so we were never able to work on combined projects. We were both keen on model aeroplanes, and we would work at home on our various models, and talk endlessly about our projects in free time at school or at any other times we were together. It was wartime, so we were frustrated by an inability to obtain generally acceptable materials, particularly for flying models. For example, it was a rare occasion that we were able to obtain balsa and rice paper, basic prerequisites for flying models. Other close friends were Ian Sandercock, who rode to school from Kenton Valley on a horse, and Donald Bell. (Donald was actually closer to my young brother, Robert, but living next door to each other, we spent a considerable amount of time together). We often visited Roy and Mrs. Monfries, Mr. and Mrs. "Elle’ Sandercock (and Ian). Two other boys rode their pushbikes to school - Ian Sandercock, a five kilometre ride from his father's farm at Kenton Valley, and Mick Dohnt around the 'pub corner' and the length of the main street. The Mannum 'Blue Federal' bus, powered in these wartime years by a Wishart Gas Producer, picked up students from Mannum, Milendella, Palmer and Tungkillo. After dropping off its student load it went on to Gumeracha. Ian Sandercock rode over three km from 'Nether Hill' farm at Kenton Valley and Grantley Cornish joined Ian about half-way to Gumeracha where they parked their bikes in Mr Tommy Bleeze's shed. GUMERACHA TAKES SEMI. 'B' GRADE. Except for a period in the second quarter when Lobethal scored three goals to bring them within five points of their rivals, Gumeracha always looked the better team on the day. Their bigger players proved too experienced for the young Lobethal side, although the latter revealed some excellent flashes of play. Gumeracha applied pressure from the first bounce to end the quarter with 3-5 to one goal by Lobethal, but the latter team pressed strongly in the second term to outscore Gumeracha 3-1 to 2-1. After the long interval the home team always appeared likely winners and at the final bell had an advantage of 24 points. Final scores: Gumeracha 8-13, Lobethal 6-1. Best PlayersóGumeracha: N. Semmler (best on ground), I. Sandercock, K. Carter, I. Jamieson, D. Bell, B. Hanna. Lobethal: T. Graeber, E. Mason, G. Dearman, L. Watkins, A. Warner, R. Schapel. GoalkickersóGumeracha: I. Jamieson 2, G. Tucker 2, B. Hanna, G. Cornish, N. Sinkinson, B. Harvey. Lobethal: T. Graeber 2, A. Warner, J. Barnes, K. Schubert, E. Mason. SECOND SEMI. PREVIEW. There is an air about a Lobethal-Gumeracha clash which pervades the TV football world that no other match can incur. When such an engagement occurs during the major round, spectators are assured of a grim struggle which creates a sense of suspense not lifted until the last kick is taken. Once again these two teams will meet on the Birdwood oval next Saturday for the right to contest the grand final. He would be bold who would confidently predict the outcome of Saturday's match. Gumeracha has twice been defeated by Lobethal this season but in each instance the winning margin did not suggest any definite superiority of Lobethal, e.g., seven and six points respectively. However, the fact that they have won these two matches, and their unbeaten record for the season, gives Lobethal a psychological advantage. Against this can be reckoned the fact that Lobethal has not played under match conditions for three weeks, having drawn a bye in the last minor round series. One thing which can be taken for granted, the game will be played at a terrific pace throughout. Both sides are equipped with more than a fair sprinkling of high marking exponents, but Lobethal may have the edge in this sphere. Gumeracha's play on short-passing style which can be devastatingly effective if not checked will be opposed to a long kicking game of Lobethal. Highlights of the match will be the duels between Lobethal's star centre half forward, B. Zilm, and his opposing half back, presumably R. Fuller, and the high-flying centreman R. Karutz, of Lobethal, against K. Hanna, clever pivot and leader of Gumeracha. Perhaps the fate of the game will depend on how Lobethal's defence, always a solid one, can cope with Gumeracha's goal-getting specialist, K. Sandercock, who is in good form at present. Both sides will be led by astute captains, each of whom are keen students of the game. Lobethal is selected to win but the vagaries of football fortunes make the choice a difficult one, especially when two teams are so evenly matched. Umpire O.W. Buttery will be in charge of the game. Mt Pleasant is chosen to defeat Mt Torrens in the 'B' grade curtain-raiser semifinal. The latter team are capable of springing a surprise on their rivals but Mt Pleasant\ has twice defeated the redlegs this season in the three games played, and at full strength should do so again. The umpire will be L. Bugg. [21/8/1952 6c-f.] GUMERACHA TENNIS TOURNAMENT. There were good entries and some good tennis witnessed in the Gumeracha tournament.

Much of the credit for the success of the ball was due to the President, Mrs Frank Dohnt and Secretary Miss A. Verrall and members of the Hospital Ball Committee. A very beautiful standard lamp was donated by the CIC for a competition and was won by Mr Ian Sandercock. Mr J.T. Grosvenor, on behalf of the Hospital Board, moved a vote of thanks to the CIC and the organisers of the function. Mr L. Clutterbuck was asked to respond.
