Editorial This year we are going to press on the eve of what may be great changes in the School. It is possible that some of the younger members of the Staff may take the opportunity to con- tinue their studies abroad. At the same time many wartime re- strictions have already been abrogated, and, as time goes on, more will follow. Thus the next year may see the start of some of the development which has been foreshadowed. When such change and development are in the air. We are sure that our readers, young and old, will be interested in the reminis- cences of the Rev. E. A. Annett, who was one of the original pupils of the School. As the S.G.S. grows, as much, we hope, in its in- fluence as in its size, those responsible may take pleasure and, perhaps, pride in considering how great a matter has been kindled by the little fire in the Pembroke Sunday School more than fifty years ago. After V. E. Day It seems to me that the heading After V.E. Day is this year entirely suitable for my contribution to the Saltus Year Book; May 8th marked an epochal moment in the history of the School. Looking at the Roll of Saltus men, nine in all, who have given their lives in the cause of Freedom, we are proud, but we remember the anxiety that has constantly been present throughout the years of the war in Europe ; looking at the list of decorations won by Saltus men, twelve in all so far, we naturally feel proud that the contri- bution of so comparatively small and remote a School has been so great. V.E. Day did not lessen our pride, but it has relieved some at any rate of the sense of anxiety and given us hope for eventual Peace soon. The School itself has, by great good fortune and some careful management, survived these critical years remarkably well; we have, in fact, maintained our Staff and our standards more con- sistently than many far more famous Schools in England and else- where have been able to do. The memories of valuable and dili- gent service given to Saltus by members of the Staff during the war years will long be affectionately cherished by all of us. I have said all along that, in my opinion, our time of hardest work and most difficulties to be overcome might arrive in the transition or post-war period; naturally I hope not, but it is possible. However that may be, I feel that we at Saltus can view the im- mediate past with justifiable satisfaction and thankfulness, and the future with confidence. R. E. E. B.
