Motyer Wartime The second year of the war has been kinder to the school than I could possibly have hoped twelve months ago. Not only has the standard of work and activity been maintained, but, as a glance at the ensuing pages will show, actual progress and moderate extension have been made. The extremely gratifying Examination and Scholarship re- sults reflect credit on Staff and Candidates aUke. All supporters of the S.G.S. should feel gratitude to the Staff who, in the absence of two younger men, have accomplished a phenomenal amount of satisfactory work under the additional handicap (from that point of view only) of much increased numbers of pupils in the school. Building is at last to begin — at any rate if we may believe the evidence of the pile of stone at the entrance to the school grounds! When it has been completed the new wing will provide us with a badly-needed additional class-room as well as a new bicycle-shed and washing accommodation. The architect is a Saltus Old Boy, Mr. George Hutchings, and, if the result attained is commensurate with his care and enthusiasm, it will be admirable indeed. The spirit and morale of the school have, in my opinion, im- proved with the additional numbers and under the admitted strain of wartime. The life of the school has benefited materially from the elements which have been introduced by wartime conditions, and every new problem has been quietly absorbed as time has gone on. Remembering the conditions under which schools are attempt- ing to carry on the work of education in England, I feel that a great responsibility rests upon us who are yet able to continue our work in a calm atmosphere and uninterrupted. As long as I can command the loyal co-operation of Staff, Prefects and Boys, I anticipate difficulties only such as can be met, overcome and forced to serve the worthy purpose of extending the capabilities of Saltus. R. E. E. B. Editorial This year, we believe for the first time, an attempt has been made to compile a list of all the Old Boys of the School. This work was undertaken on behalf of the Old Boys ' Association by Mr. George Hutchings, and only one who has had a hand in the task can appreciate its full difficulty. It may surprise some of our readers to learn that no permanent record of the pupils who at- tended Saltus in the early days has survived. In fact, there are no continuous records before 1934. For the previous years Mr. Hutchings has nad to rely on a number of isolated copies of registers and on tne memories of the surviving Old Boys. It follows that we cannot claim that this list is either accurate or complete; but the worst part of the work has been overcome, and all that remains is to make tne necessary alterations and additions. Mr. Hutchings will be pleased to hear from anyone who can help in this respect, so tnat the faults of this edition may be remedied in the next. It is a matter that we would urge on the attention of our readers, for it does concern the School. Many, no doubt, of those who profited by their education here have given little thought to the place since they left, and we suggest to them that it is a very good way to repay the debt which they owe by joining the Old Boys ' Associa- tion. This body has do e much for the School in the last few years, and with more support it could extend its ass sfance still further. To turn to the more immediate topic of this Year Book: for a variety of reasons we are going to press a little earher than usual this year, and, as a result, comparatively little of this term ' s activity can be reported. We apologise for this, but, at the mo- ment, we can see no remedy. This year the editor is glad to acknowledge more help from the boys of the School. But boys cannot be aroused to the busines of writing, until it is already time to go to press, when the harassed editor pleads that he cannot possibly be ready in time, and that he must have assistance. If only contributors would not be so modest in volunteering their efforts, there would not be such a rush at the last minute. The articles contributed by boys are pre- sented as they were written, with only the necessary correction of spelHng and punctuation. There is, after alf, little to be said for encouraging contributors to c er their efforts and accepting what they write, and then altering things to such an extent that the work is unrecognisable by its author. The present tendency is a great improvement on the days when the Year Book was the work solely of the editor and his colleagues on the Staff. 6 School Notes Last September we welcomed the ariival on the Staff of Mr. W. B. Welch, formerly Headmaster ot Warwick Acacemy. The increase in our numbers made an increase in u.e staft imperative, and, for various reasons, it would have been difficult, it not im- possible, to obtain anyone from England, Canada or America. Mr. Welch nobly consented to postpone his retirement to solve the problem for us. We offer our congratulations to Mr. Gorton on becoming President of the B.S.S.A. this year. His devoted attention to the Junior League teams has well deserved some reward, even though it brings a great amount of extra work in its train. Last year we recorded the marriage of Miss Peggy Steacey to Lieut. M. P. Pollock, R.N., and now, almost at tne moment of going to press, we hear that a son has been born. We are sure that the School will join with us in congratulating them. The School is actively prosecuting the War Savings Campaign. Stamps are sold, and money for complete certificates received at the office. The response has been very satisfactory indeed, and His Excellency the Governor has written to the Headmaster congratu- lating him on the success of our efforts. It would be pointless to quote figures now, because the total is growing at such a rate that they would give no idea of the sum that we shall have collected by the time that this Year Book is published. J. B. Trimingham is secretary for War Savings in the School. Our Cambridge Exam, results continue to be well up to stand- ard. Last December fourteen candidates sat for the School Certi- ficate and Junior exams. Of these thirteen passed — eleven out of twelve in the School Certificate, and both Junior candidates. The successful candidates were: Barnard, Brooks, Campbell, Fall, Lough, Mayne, Motyer i, Outerbridge, Petty i, Rutherford, Welch and, in the Junior, Motyer ii, Watlington. At the risk of seeming immodest, the editor thinks it worthy of mention that of ten candidates who took Latin in the exam, four obtained credits, and three others passed. In the wake of the publication of these results came the news that a Bermuda Scholarship had been awarded to H. R. Outer- bridge. He obtained a first grade certificate with an A in three subjects and credits in five others. We understand that he is intending to go to Mount Allison University, and he will take our best wishes with him when he goes. On Dec. 17 the usual Carol Singing took place at the School. This was repeated on the evening of Dec. 20 in the Cathedral with great success. On Dec. 19 a dance was held in the School Hall. The music was provided by the Modern Airs Band, wh ' ch consists largely of 7 Old Boys of Saltus. The U.S. Consul General and Mrs. Beck graciously lent the r patronage. During the year we have had a number of talks. Those on the progress of the war are dealt with elsewhere in thi s book. In ad- dition we have heard the following: Mr. E. LaM. Stowell, formerly Superintendent of Education in the State of Kedah. Malaya, told us about life in Malaya in general, and his own job in particular. In view of the attention that has recentlv been focussed on Singapore this talk was most illuminating Then we were visited by Mr. R. Young of St. Dunstan ' s. He was blind himself, as the result of injuries sustained in the last war. and his own ease and cheerful self-confidence vividly illustrated all that he said of the work done by St. Dunstan ' s to enable men. shattered by the loss of their sight, to recover their orientation and become Contented and useful workers again. More recently Mr. Hugh Ruttledge described the expedition which he led in 1933 in an attempt to reach the top of Mount Everest. His lecture was illustrated with a cinematograph record of the journev. but what chiefly impressed us was the fact that he plainly regarded the attempt as an almost religious experience. The isolation from the world with all its pettiness, the severity of the physical test and the obvious insignificance of mere Man in the face of nature at its most majestic, all combined to give him a secret desire in the depths of his heart that Everest might never be conquered and its mystery laid bare. At the beginning of the Easter term the annual Art Exhibition was held. Ball ' s cartoons and Petty ' s oil paintings attracted the most attention, and it was noticeable that the number of models is steadily increasing. In this class of work Rutherford, in particu- lar, excelled. Some time ago Frith ii made a number of cedar walking sticks and sold them for the War Fund. A letter was sent to the Prime Minister mentioning this, and Mr. Churchill replied by sending five shillings with a request for one of the sticks. Once or twice in the past there have been attempts to form a S G.S. Golf Club. This year it has really been functioning regu- larly at the Belmont Manor under the guidance of N. Trott. It has been decided to make an addition to the School premises. This is to be built east of the present building over the bicycle sheds. Considering the present shortage of good labour, we are a little uncertain when this is likely to be finished, but a beginning has been made and quantities of stone have already made their appearance. Just before Easter the boys were asked to make kites for the B.W.A.F. entertainment. The materials were given them and they gave their labour. For days boys arrived at school bearing kites of all shapes and sizes, while the Science lab. was littered with boys 8 covering frames made by other people. We understand that they sold very well. The Eldon Trimingham Tennis Shield was won this year by Darrell House. The first round matches were played at the Tennis Stadium and the finals on Mr. Edmund Gibbons ' s court. J. B. Trimingham was appointed Captain of tennis. Looking through the records for the last year, one cannot help bemg struck by the athletic prowess of P. S. Welch. He is captain of football, cricket, swimming, boxing, P.T. In the Inter-School Swimming Sports he broke the record for the 100 yds. Freestyle in 62 2 5 sees., and for the 200 yds. fresetyle in 2 mins. 28 2 5 sees. In the Bermuda Commard Athletic Sports at Prospect he won the boys ' 100 yds. race in 11 1 5 sees, and the next day at the Inter- School Sports he set a new record for the 100 yds. at that meeting with a time of 10 4 5 sees, and for the 440 yds. with a time of 57 4 5 sees. Old Boys News In this year ' s New Year ' s Honours List appears the name of the Hon. EMon Trimingham, M.C.P., O.S. His Majesty has conferred upon him the honour of Commander of the Order of the British Empire. The Headmaster immediately wrote to Mr. Trimingham, congratulating him on behalf of the School. Last year Flying Officer H. F. G. Ede, O.S., was awarded the D.F.C. for gallantry in Norway. Later, after the loss of H.M. Aircraft Carrier Glorious, he was reported missing. Lieut. Glyn Gilbert, O.S., was with the B.E.F. in France, and earned the unstinted praise of his CO. To the best of our belief he was the first Old Boy of the School to be actually in the fighting line. Pilot Officer W. C. H. Hallett, O.S., has been awarded his wings in England. He left Rossall School last year after having been Captain of the School. He had won distinction in most of the school games, and, in the difficult first year of the war, when Rossall was moved to Naworth Castle and back again, he proved absolutely invaluable to the Headmaster and Staff. Pilot Sergeant H. F. Watlington, O.S., is a fully qualified first pilot of multi-engined aircraft. As far as we know at the time of going to press, he is now in England. We offer him our best wishes, and, at the same time, our congratulations on his marriage to Miss Janet Moore. This took place while he was on leave here before proceeding to England. His brother, J. H. Watlmgton, O.S., is at present training with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Canada. J. F. Leseur, O.S., who won a Cradock Scholarship and became a cadet on H.M.S. Conway, finished up by attaining the rank of 9 Senior Cadet Captain, an unusual distinction after so short a time on board. He is now entering the Fleet Air Arm, and his captain has already arranged that British Overseas Airways shall keep a vacancy for him in the field of civil aviation after the war. A number of old Saltus boys have been given their first in- struction m flying in the Bermuda Flying School. Some of these have already gone to England to complete their training. Their names are K. F. Trimingham, E. G. NichoU, J. Brewer, H. F. Stephens, J. R. Gibbons and G. Welch. Of the three delegates who went to England to discuss the questions arising in connection with the U.S. Bases here, two, Messrs. J. W. Cox and H. J. Tucker, are old Saltus boys. Mr. Cox is also a trustee of the School. R. L. Browne, O.S., who won a Bermuda Scholarship in 1933 and then took his M.A. degree at Edinburgh University, has been called to the Bar. His application was presented by Major the Hon. R. W. Appleby, under whom he had been studying. E. A. Benevides, O.S., has won a scholarship at Queen ' s University, Kingston, Canada. In this connection many thanks are due to the Rev. J. W. Purves, who was on a visit to Canada and took the opportunity to see the authorities of the University and to recommend to their attention the qualifications of Bene- vides. Howard MalJoy, O.S., who is now at Harvard, played soccer for Harvard in the Freshmen ' s match against Yale. Among his opponents he found another old Saltus boy, Stuart Outerbridge. Apparently the two had a reunion on the field before the game began . Brian Tovey, who left here to go to St. Edward ' s School, Oxford, has passed the School Certificate Examination with seven credits and two distinctions. Since he was not fifteen when he took the exam., this is a very commendable performance. Once again we have to thank N. H. Williams, O.S., for his kindness in coming up here after his day ' s work to coach our en- trants for ' the B.S.S.A. sports. Saltus always distinguishes itself at that meeting, and this is largely due to WiUiams ' s patient at- tention. Empire Day Celebration This year, for the second time, we were privileged to hear Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Kennedy-Purvis, Commander-in-Chief of the America and West Indies Station, at our celebration of Empire Dav on May 23rd. His part in the present struggle gives his words an unique authority for us in Bermuda at the moment. 10 On his arrival he was met a t the gate by the Headmaster and the Captam of the School, after which he went up to the Parade Ground to inspect a Cadet Guard of Honour, drawn up there to receive him. He talked to a number of Cadets and spectators and professed himself well pleased with the turn-out. Then we ad- journed to the Assembly Hall where the usual service took place. Afterwards the Admiral gave his address. After describing the various tasks that the Navy has to perform, and the difficulties involved in performing them, he made two points of major im- portance. First, he gave it as his considered opinion that, even though the news from the rest of the theatre of war might at times be discouraging, the ultimate decision depended on maintaining unbroken the Atlantic sea routes, and defending Britain against a possible German invasion. Other operations certainly had a strategic importance but, on the whole, they were sidelines de- signed to disperse the concentration of the British ofrces. Secondly, one heard so much these days of the part played by forces from other parts of the Empire, that at times one might be pardoned for imagining that Britain was leaving most of the real work to other people. But, as a matter of fact, in all the operations under- taken so far, the British troops engaged outnumbered the Empire forces considerably. The Headmaster then thanked the Admiral, and the pro- ceedings closed With the singing of God Save the King. Progress of the War Lectures The first of a series of talks on the progress of the war was given on Feb. 18 by Dr. Henry Wilkinson, an old boy of the School. He began his talk by drawing an analogy between this war and the Thirty Years War: in both there were many changes in the aims and alignments of the powers concerned. Dr. Wilkinson then showed clearly, by incidents which had been recounted to him, how little the conquered peoples, especially the Dutch, have been demoralised by their German conquerors. The second lecture was given by the Rev. E. M. Strong; his main topic was the effect which the war would have on our charact- ers. He said that in England the dreadful suffering had not brought about a wave of crime but, amazingly, there was less crime than before the war, in spite of the greater opportunities for theft and so on. He pointed out that the present circumstances were at the same time a test and training-ground of character. What was required was greater obedience — obedience to the laws of God and men, greater gentleness in contrast to the doctrine that Might is Right. Mr. H. D. Butterfield gave the third talk on the 4th March. He spoke with special ref erence to the part which Bermuda is 11 taking in the war, and considered particularly the lease of the Atlantic bases to America. Mr. Butterfield said that many criti- cisms had been levelled at the British, American and Bermudian Governments; but, in his opinion, these criticisms were prejudicial to the good which these governments are trying to do. He added that Bermudian s must be prepared to face undaunted many great changes in the conditions in Bermuda. The fourth in the series was given by the Rev. J. H. Freestone. In a starring address Mr. Freestone examined the forces arrayed on either side in the present struggle, and their obiectives. On the one side he saw the forces of Democracy, fortified by their belief in Christianity and its ethical ideals; on the other, atheistic and anti-Christian powers aiming at the overthrow of those Christian ideals, powers whose religion, in so far as it existed, was dominated by barbarous gods, hard and merciless. This series of talks has proved most interesting and it is to be hopea that they will be continued next term. H. R. O. Athletics The Field and Track Sports were held this year on April 3, and some keen and interesting events were witnessed. As usual, nine events were completed before Sports Day, while thirty-one took place that afternoon, the results on the whole being quite up to the usual standard. Five records were broken and one other was equalled. Watlington won the House Competi- tion, while Butterfield showea signs of rejuvenation and were placed second. The senior point cup was won by last year ' s junior champion, P. N. Spurling, while his brother, D. L. Spurling, annexed the junior trophy. P. N. Spurling has been appointed Captain of Athletics. H.

The standard of performance was quite good and five records were established, whilst one other was equalled. In the B.S.S.A. competition we were again quite successful, winning three groups and fifteen individual events. H. J. H.

Inter-House Medley Relay: 1 Watlington, 2 Darrell, 3 Saltus. 14 The B S.S A Sports On Friday May 16 the B.S.S.A. Inter-School sports were again held on the Prospect field. We fared very much better than last year inasmuch as we won twenty-one events and got all five group cups. At the prize-giving, Major B. B. Walton made special men- tion of three new records set bv Welch, Spurling and McLay in their one hundred yards, high jump and one mile, respectively. This very creditable performance once more reflects great credit on Mr. N. H. Williams for his unceasing and tireless efforts in training our contestants and on P. N. Spurling as Captain of Athletics. We are indeed most grateful to them both. A. J. M. Cricket and Football The cricket season last year was undoubtedly hampered by lack of suitable opposition for the first XI. Nevertheless, the School possessed quite a good side, there being several excellent bowlers and batsmen who combined into a well-balanced team. Only three matches were played and of these we lost one and drew the other two. The match against the Old Boys on Founder ' s Day was that which we lost. It was played in the rain, and de- spite the dampness all enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The Colts had quite a useful side winning two and losing one of their matches. The House matches again provided keen competi- tion as well as helpful experience for the younger players. Wat- lington House were the winners of the shield. The first XI football was a better all round team than we have had for some time. Compared with the last few years, a slight weakness in defence was more than offset by a great improvement in the attack. There was always a certain dash and initiative about the forwards which made them dangerous in front of goal. Here again, lack of suitable opposition made it difficult to arrange matches, but of the five played we won four and lost one. The Colts XI again acquitted themselves well, winning seven and losing one of the league matches, thus retaining the B.S.S.A. trophy. In the House competition Watlington House again won the Shield both terms. H. J. H. 15 The football results follow: 9 9 11 j.n 1st XI V. Rotary Night School Won O 1 90 1 1 4.0 1st XI V.

His Excellency the Governor had consented to be Patron, but, owing to an accident, he was unable to attend. He has in the past shown a very keen interest in our boxing, and we missed his pre- sence on this occasion. He was represented by the A.D.C., Lieut. Frank Giles. The referee was Major B. B. Walton, G.S.O. 2, Bermuda Command. The judges were Dr. F. W. Warlington and Mr. Harry Williams, and the timekeeper Lieut. C. Lightbourn, B.V.E. The House Shield, presented by Mr. John Cox, O S , was won by Watlington House. As usual, the show was very well attended. Perhaps the stand- ard of boxing was not so high as last year, but there were several minor accidents in the preliminary fights, and these removed one or two of our best boxers from the finals. There is also the consid- eration that comparatively few boys have access to expert coach- ing in the art. Those who do get tuition profit by it, but the rest display more enthusiasm than skill. But the enthusiasm is most certainly there and we hope to be able to arrange more instruction jn the future. The first item on the programme was a demonstration ar- ranged by Major Walton. This was a demonstration in the strict sense, and not a fight, as such performances have been in the past, and It IS true to say that it was a very welcome innovation. It is surprising how many of the boys have only vague ideas on the method of scoring points. Now, for the first time, many of the 16 contestants saw the target area clearly marked out and examples of fair scoring blows and some of the commoner foul blows. Our thanks are due to Major Walton and the two men concerned. We are also grateful for thc ' r assistance in the preliminary fights to Messrs. Harry Williams, S. Floyd, Chummy Hayward and P.C. Arthur Childs. Results: T. K. Shanks beat E. A. Hutt; D. Harrison beat B. B. Burland; H. E. Gibbons beat C. A. Pantry; R. G. Fowle beat J. D. E. Gibbons; C. Terceira beat A. R. Mercer; D. L.

This year the Corps shared camp with a detachment of B.V.R.C., an ar- rangement which proved very satisfactory. Saltus supplied 2 full Platoons, No. 3 (Sgt. Benevides) and No. 4 (Sgt. Adams). Both Platoons were prominent in various activities. No. 3 winning the Inter- Platoon cricket shield and No. 4 the Inter- Platoon Competition, judged by Quartermaster- Lieut. Clarke. His Excellency the Governor ' s visit of inspection was marked by an excellent P.T. display and demonstrations of Field Work. Cadet Curtis, P. had the signal honour of winning £1 offered by His Excellency for any Cadet attaining in his presence a score of 70% on the range. Shooting. An excellent miniature rifle has been presented to the Saltus Company by Lloyd Jones, Esq. In addition, this year Cadets have for the first time used in practice on the range Service rifles fitted with .22 Morris tubes, a type eminently suitable for their subsequent training with regulation Service weapons. 17 Inspections. Held by His Excellency the Governor on Jan. 14, 1941, and by Major Murdoch, V.D., Officer Commanding, Bermuda Cadet Corps, on Nov. 26, 1940. Lectures. Lt. A. McDonald, 4th Queen ' s Own Cameron Highlanders, gave an interesting account of his experiences in France in the early days of the war. In February, the Company ' s Instruccor, Sgt. Pedrolini, B.V.R.C., lectured at Prospect Camp on Defence Entrenchments. An account of this, written by Cadet Cox, H., appears elsewhere. Field Day. An excellent Field Day, organised by Maorj B. B. Walton, Brigade Major, was held on Feb. 26 at Castle Harbour. Saltus Company was in the attack, and carried out their operations with workmanlike precision. At the conclusion of the battle. His Excellency the Governor complimented No. 2 Platoon for the manner in which they captured an enemy position on the left flank, and especially commended Sgt. Petty for his skilful leadership. Band Drum Major, Sgt. Welch, P. S. Under the enthusiastic in- struction of Sapper Aitken, B.V.E., and Sapper H. Williams, B.V.E. the Band, which commenced the year with an unusually large num- ber of recruits, has made considerable progress and is now well up to the standard of past units; New members in Cadets: Tucker (J), Greenwood, McLay, Davis, Whitney, Taylor, Howe, Tucker (D), Parker and Darrell have brought the strength up to 24. The Band was in much demand in Camp and are to be commended on the way in which they voluntarily practised on frequent occasions in their spare time. Bugles have been kindly presented this year by Capt. Johnson, R.A.O.C., and H. Browne, (O.S.). A Day with the Cadets On February the 4th, the Saltus Cadets marched to Prospect to inspect some trenches which had been made by the soldiers. They were accompanied by the band, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, including a number of coloured children who joined us on the way. After a brisk half hour ' s march we reached our destination, and were shown the trenches which were situated on the side of a hill to the east of barracks. There was a number of them, each in a different stage of construction. 18 Sergeant Pedrolini led us to the first trench, and started on a most interesting lecture which lasted for a brief half-hour. As he led us from trench to trench, our knowledge of modern warfare grew, as he told us of the uses of the trench against attack by aero- plane, tank and artillery, and of the protection it afforded the men against bullets and shell-splinters. The first object of interest was a Crawling trench, at the end of which was a Weapon Pit and an uncompleted trench. The Crawl- ing trench was only 18 inches deep, and gave very little protection. It was made so that the men could crawl from trench to trench and thus be able to communicate with one another. The next trench we looked at was a completed one. It had been dug by tasks as the others had been. A task consisted of digging a hole 6 feet long, 6 feet deep, and 2 feet wide. Each man is assigned to a task, and in addition, a Crawling Trench has to be dug. The completed trench was a work of art in comparison to the others. It was 4 feet wide, and approximately 8 feet deep. A firing step is made to enable the men to fire over the top. The sand-bags made a very good elbow rest, and the wooden flooring at the bottom of the trench served to keep the soldiers ' feet dry. The revetments were made of oleander boughs which gave a very smart aspect to the trench. The next thing we saw of interest was a machine-gun trench, which was very much smaller than the completed trench we had just seen. The gun was fired from a standing position. These little machine-gun trenches are usually placed on the flanks of the main trench in order to produce an effective cross fire. We were shown one or two more trenches, and then fell in for the homeward march. We left with the band playing lustily, and the boys in high spirits. So ended one of the most interesting Cadet afternoons we have had for a long time. H. C. D. C. World Today Club The last two terms have seen a considerable increase in the membership of the Club. Of necessity, at the present time, the war is the chief subject discussed at meetings although local affairs and world affairs distinct from the war have had their share of attention. This is in accordance with the original object of the Club, which was to discuss any current problems and matters of general interest both in Bermuda and overseas. A new feature was inau- 19 gurated during the Easter Term. This was a series of talks to be given by well known men, speaking with special authority on their subjects. It will become, we hope, a regular feature of the Club ' s proceedings in the future. The first talk was given to a large and most appreciative audience by Mr. H. D. Butterfield, M.C.P., Chairman of the School Trustees. The subject was The American Bases and the Bermuda Delegation t© London, and the talk was so successful that Mr. Butterfield, at the Headmaster ' s request, later repeated it at greater length to the whole school. Our second talk was by Commander Smythe, R.N., on ' ' The War at Sea and was also very much appreciated. We hope we shall hear both Mr. Butterfield and Commander Smythe again. For our third talk and as a natural complement to Mr. Butter- field ' s address we are expecting to welcome the Hon. W. J. H. Trott, C.B.E., M.C.P., the leader of the Bermuda Delegation who has promised to talk on the delegation ' s visit to London. Further talks are being arranged and it is expected that this series will add greatlv in the interest and instructive value of the Club. H. R. The Choir and Music Since Mr. Robin Tucker left the school four years ago, Mr. Bridge was engaged as Choir and Music master. On his arrival, the Choir was merely a collection of boys whose voices had not then broker, and who sang, as a choir solo, the third verse of every hymn. Now, however, we have a choir of about seventv voices, fortv treble, ten alto, ten tenor, and ten bass, which voices sing harmony and only very occasionally discord. Strangely enough the trebles are the weaker voices, the other parts being able to follow music fairly readily, or at least to pick up their parts without much trouble. Regarding the Hymn -singing in hall. — For many years the School was on a diet of about twenty hymns which followed each other in rotation, some being reserved for special occasions. Mr. Bridge introduced a few new ones, and recently some more have been added to the Hymn -list. We find, however, that there are very few hymns in Hymns Ancient Modern which lend them- selves to mass singing, and so we have had to resort to hymns stencilled on paper. Before long we hope to have more such hymns. Introduced some years ago, but, regrettably very much in its infancy, is the practice of allowing boys to play the hymns for prayers in the morning. It is a great pity there are not more boys good enough to do this as it is excellent practice for performing in public, an essentia) sphere of one ' s musical education. It is rather 20 unfortunate that the talent which I beUeve to be as yet undeveloped in the school could not be revealed, but this, as yet, cannot be helped. The most crying need in the school at the present time is a good piano. The instrument now in use is in its final death throes and may be expected to expire at any moment. It woulo be well worth the money, as the instrument at present is abominable. The most significant achievement which the choir can boast is our performance of Stanford ' s ballad, Phaudrig Crohoore. This, with the help of Mr. Goolden, we put on three years ago. Feehng confident of ourselves, we then tackled C. H. H. Parry ' s Pied Piper of Hamelin. We were left without any doubt, how- ever, that this was too difficult for us and it had to be abandoned unfinished. Mr. Goolden having left school this vear we resorted again to ' ' Phaudrig. It is much to Mr. Bridge ' s credit that this cantata which took us over a year to do before, we now can do in less than two months. Phaudrig will be performed in public in June and the proceeds derived therefrom will be devoted to pro- curing copies of Handel ' s great oratorio, The Messiah. We realise the great difficulty that confronts us, but, ' f nothing else, we can sing a few arias from it. We may finish it before we all are dead. The thought of attempting anything harder than Hymn 165 before Mr. Bridge ' s time was unheard of; now we are attempting the Messiah. With but seventy unmusical boys to work with, the results Mr. Bridge gets are much to his credit, as it is he who has made the choir a credit to the school and what it is t6day. Cult A At the outbreak of the war. Cult A was greatly affected by the loss of a truly enthusiastic leader, Mr. Goolden, who left the staff to take up a position in the Royal Navy. Hi.s enthusiasm and zeal for the society was so great that we all caught asparkof it and from the very beginning it was evident that the fruition of the society was owed to his early leadership. Until the beginning of the Christmas term last year, the activities of the society had been suspended owing to his absence, but with the arrival of Major Welch on the staff of the school, we again welcomed an ardent leader who was willing to reform the society, and once more put it on the path of success. The main idea of the society is that any branch of cultural activity be oui concern, from play-reading to play-acting, and from the theatre of local industries. Our first effort, that of play-acting was unfortunately unsuccessful, owing to the scarcity of time in the school curriculum for rehearsals. We then decided to devote our time to the theatre and local industries. It was, therefore, with 21 the greatest of interest that we met to see the film Rebecca. ' ' The acting of all the cast met with the most profound approval, while the scenery throughout was also superb. Our next outing was to the Agricultural Station. Here we were met by Mr. Russell, who first gave us a short history of the station, teUing us how it was organized and run, and what pui pose it had to fulfil. We then made a tour of the grounds, accompanied by Mr. Russell, who explained any questions that arose. Our thanks for his kindness was voiced at the end bv the secretary. . A visit of lasting interest was paid to the society by Dr. Moore of the Biological Station. The few that were present were well rewarded by an interesting account of ocean currents and marine life. At the end of Dr. Moore showed us a moael that he had made of the Biological Station ' s reseaich boat the ' ' Culver, which was made correct in every detail. On the evening of the twenty-ninth of January, Cult A, through the kindness of Mrs. Witheford, attended the first per- formance of the Censorship players at the Bermudiana Hotel, where three one-act plays were presented to a very appreciative audience; the plays were Villa For Sale, The Dear Departed and the Twelve Pound Look. On May the fifteenth we saw the second performance of the Censorship players, which again con- sisted of three one-act plays, entitled, Half an Hour, Today of all Days and How he Lied to her Husband. All members of Cult A are looking forward to another successful year, and with Major Welch as our leader, we are confi- dent that we shall not be disappointed. Reason and relevancy were aims suggested to the Society at the opening of the debating season, and we believe that in this respect we have at least maintained our standard; while the ether around us has pulsated with the vitiated utterances of modern propaganda, we have tried to speak calmly and dispassionately, and to keep in our debates that sense of fairness which the English race values above most other things. It has been a good debating season, our num- bers have increased, and keenness has been displayed throughout. The activities of the season have included: — Oct. 17. — General meeting for the election of officers. Debate on the motion: That the radio is the greatest means of education in the world today. Proposer: H. C. D. Cox Opposer: A. J. Motyer A. J. M. Debating Third: H. A. Leseur The motion was carried. Fourth: S. M. Green man 22 Oct. 31. — Debate on the motion: ' ' That the best lessons are not learned from books ' Proposer: A. J. Motyer Opposer: T. N. Fall Third: D. E. Campbell Fourth: S. M. Greenman The motion was carried. Nov. 14. — Debate on the motion: ' ' That man ' s modern dress should be radically reformed. Proposer: H. P. Watlington Opposer: H. C. D. Cox Third: D. J. Rutherford Fourth: H. A. Leseur The motion was defeated. Jan. 23. — Hat debate. Each member made one or more im- promptu speeches. Among the subjects were these : — Horses should wear rubber shoes. He laughs longest who laughs last. Slates and pencils should be used to save paper. Why are trees green? Education should not be compulsory. Should the school drinking fountains supply ginger beer? Bicycles should be abolished. Feb. ?? — Secret debate behind closed doors; and the windows were closed too. Names of speakers: A close secret. Result: The atmosphere was appalling. March 20. — Debate with Whitney Institute on the motion: That man has no control over his own destiny. Proposer: H. C. D. Cox (S) Opposer :Miss D. A. Outer- bridge (W) Third: D. Divall (W) Fourth: D. Rutherford (S) The motion was defeated. Officers for the Year 194041 President Mr. J. H. Kerry Secretary S. M. Greenman Committee: A. J. Motyer, T. N. Fall, D. E. Campbell, H. A. Leseur. H. P. Watlington and S. M. Greenman (ex-offic ' o). J. H. K. 23 Verse In this world today of havoc and war Tyrants arise and oppress the poor; But soon shall come that eventful day, When the tables are turned the other way. Till this day comes we must suffer and bleed, And never let down our country ' s creed; Though beaten, oppressed and thrown in the mud, We must rise and attack like a raging flood. So, at the end, when this murder is done, And we ' ve able to say that we ' ve rightfullv won, We may quickly tear down that double-crossed rag And erect m its place a respectable flag. D. McC. C Model Railway Club The Model Railway Club was started, mainly through the interest of the Headmaster, in February of this year. He very kindly lent us the South Tower of his house and most of his trains and equipment, Motyer i and Gibbons iii, although not members of the club, have lent us some track, of which we are greatly in need. Any further gifts or loans of this nature will be much ap- preciated by the club. The club started very well, but, for various reasons, the at- tendance has decreased recently. At the moment there are ten members. At the beginning of the term we suffered a severe loss in the departure of Don Rutherford, our technical engineer. J. McL. School Orchestra Recently a number of people have had the idea of starting a School Orchestra. Some others have been interested, but the positive response has been slow. All those who have been invited to join have admitted a knowledge of some instrument, but have 24 lacked the instrument. Starting with R. H. Motyer, vcjlunteers for the following have offered their services: piano, violins, drums, accordions, trumpets and even mouth organs. The real need is for instruments and, if any reader has one at home which he would lend or play himself, will he communicate with J. McLay. J. McL. Printing This year the Headmaster proposed to produce a Literary Supplement composed of poems, essays and other literary work done entirely by Saltus boys. It was his plan to stencil it, and sell it as Saltus ' war effort. Major Welch then offered to print it in his own press and so diminish the cost of production. He arranged that Hallett, and later Smith ii, should help him. The Literary Supplement, it is hoped, will be ready for sale on Founder ' s Day. It is almost entirely due to Major Welch that the School has the new hymns and the membership cards for the Golf Club. We would like to thank Major Welch for the great amount of work, time and energy which he has put into this Literary Supplement. A. C. H. H, Gramophone Concerts Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, gramophone concerts are played during the lunch hour with Hallett, H. Smith and Tay- lor in charge. At the end of the Christmas Term, the machine was shifted from an old Victrola cabinet to a new one, especially made to contain the radio, turntable and all records. This new arrange- ment enables us to run the programmes much more freely because all the necessary controls are in one place. The records being played are announced through a microphone. On Mondays and Wednesdays, we play symphonies, sonatas and other classical works. On Fridays we play popular music and well known songs. We have sent away for a new stock of records which we hope will arrive soon. Our present collection of records is not very large, and we shall welcome any additions, and also any criticisms as to improvements that could be made. H. C. S. 25; Saltus Grammar School LIST OF SCHOLARS WHO HAVE ATTENDED THE SCHOOL This list is divided into ten year periods. Only those who left the School before 1940 are included in the list, and their names will be found under the period during which they arrived at the School. It has proved impossible to make the list complete and accurate, but the Secretary of the Old Boys ' Association is most anxious that those who can make corrections or additions should com- municate with him as soon as possible, so that subsequent editions may be more accurate. Staff. — Joyner, Callis, Nefontaine, Matthews, Acott, Hagen, Wingood, Folkes, Williams. PRIOR TO 1900 Deceased Headmaster. — _ T.
