Saltus Grammar School - Yearbook (Hamilton, Bermuda)

Activity. Refreshed by the long summer holiday, we all returned to school this term ready to consolidate ground won and to make fresh progress. A sign of the times is seen in the flourishing ' ' Activities of the School, to which this term has added a Shop, Lunch Room, Cub Pack, World To-day Club , and the mysteri- ous and comparatively learned Cult. A. Additionally we have enjoyed, faced though we are with the yearly Examinctions, a term of uninterrupted work and ex- ercise. There has been no illness, and the normal life of an active School has moved along quietly, with hardly a divergence (excepting the Inter-School and S. G. S. Swimming Sports, and the School Dance) from the pre-arranged routine. Last year I often set before the boys the Roman ideal of Pietas . This year our slogan has been Gravitas in the best Latin sense of Dignity. Our aim still remains — Good Man- ners, Good Morals, Good Learning, and Good Sportsmanship. If School and Home continue to work harmoniously towards this objective, our sons will gain that visible but intangible quality which is one of the truest aims of Education. REEB. In conclusion, may I wish you the best possible Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. The School Dance, organised by the S. G. S. Parents Asso- ciation in aid of the Science Room Debt Redemption Fund, secured gross takings of £30, of which a substantial amount should prove to profit. HENRY CONYERS COX. On June 18th the Headmaster, the Staff, the Prefects and many of the boys attended the funeral of our late, beloved Headmaster, Mr. Henry Cox. Sad, indeed though the occasion was, we were all most willing to show our respect for one who, being himself a Saltus Old Boy, had laboured so long and so well for the School. Because of you we will be glad and gay. Remembering you, we will be brave and strong. A personal history of Mr. Cox and an appreciation of his work has been preserved in the School Record Book. 2
