EDITORIAL. In this, the first issue of the Saltus Year-Book, a real departure has been made from the School Magazine issued for the past few years-. The Editors have felt for some time that the S. G. S. deserv- ed something a little more pretentious than has been given to it, but the difficulty has been to find the wherewithal to fill out a larger number. With this in view, we have decided, aifter much thought, to issue an annual publication instead of a magazine every term, and to m-ake it of interest to a wider public. In this connection we are look- ing more particularly for the support of the Old Boys of the School, and are trying to include more of the material which we think will appeal to those who retain their interest in School affairs after they have left. Hence we have decided to omit essays written in the or- dinary course of school work by the boys themselves, and to publish here only those articles and accounts of our activities which have been written for that purpose. Meritorious as many of the boys ' essays are, publication of most of them requires a certain amount of editing, and this detracts- from their value as representative examples of school work, and, a more weighty consideration, their appeal is con- fined to those who are immediately connected with the boys concern- ed. Likewise, detailed reports of School games and other activities have usually appeared weeks, or even months, before the publication of the Year-Book, and for that reason, have been abandoned in favour of more general accounts, which, we think, are calculated to give a better impression of the life of the School. We offer, then, our efforts- to the public in the hope that they will be well received, and with an appeal to all our readers to make any suggestions for future numbers which will tend to make them more acceptable to those whose support we are seeking.

5 SCHOOL NOTES. It was with regret that we learned last December of the death of Mr. T. J. Waddington, once Headmaster of this School for many years. Although he was not known personally to the present genera- tion at Saltus ' , to a former generation, because of his strong person- ality and untiring interest in the welfare of his pupils, his name had become almost a legend. A few days later his son, the Hon. E. J. Waddington, an Old Boy of the S. G. S., and a Bermuda and Rhodes Scholar, after a distin- guished career in the Colonial Seririce, was appointed Governor of Piarbados. On behalf of the School the Headmaster sent him condol- ences for the death of his father and congratulations on higi own success. Another distinguished former pupil of Saltus has attained fur- ther distinction. Mr. J. T. Gilbert, also a Bermuda and Rhodes Scholar, has been appointed Attorney-General for Bermuda. He was called to the English Bar in 1914, and then spent twenty years in the Colonial Service in Zanzibar. He retired for reasons of health, and later, in 1935, was admitted to the Bar in Bermuda. We offer our congratulations to S. McC. Paschal on being award- ed the Rhodes Scholarship for this year. He gained the Bermuda Scholarship in 1935 and went to Rossall School, wh re he passed the Higher Certificate last July. Last March Mr. North died suddenly. We extend our sympathy to his son H. North, who is at school in England. On the occasion of the Lying-in-State of the late Rt. Hon. J. Ramsay Macdonald, ex-Prime Minister of Great Britain, by the cour- tesy of the Cathedral and other authorities, the Headmaster and Mrs. Booker, together with N. H. Williams and the other Prefects, were able to attend the State Service in the Cathedral. On the next day a party of S. G. S. Cadets under the command of Lieut. D. C. A. Goolden provided the Wreath carrying party. Their smartness was commented on afterwards by officers both of the Navy and of the army. On both days a number of Saltus boys were singing in the Ca thedral choir. On Thursday, May 19th., we again had the pleasure of watching the B?nd of the Royal Marines beat the Retreat on the School field. It is an impres ' sive and fascinating ceremony, and we thank all those concerned tor the opportunity of seeing and hearing it. This year we have been fortunate to secure the services of Mr. J. R. Bridge, the Cathedral organist, as our choirmaster. We have
