15 During the winter a group of senior boys gave a series of gym- nastic displays in various parts of the island on Friday nights to further the formation of Youth Recreation Clubs. They were trained by Mr. D. J. Williams, assisted by Sgt. Bardgett, and all who witnessed the display acclaimed it as a great success, especially in that it showed how much could be achieved with very little time for practices and with very limited apparatus. On Dec. 20th a School Dance was held under the patronage of Sir Irvine Glennie, K.C.B., and Lady Glennie. The music was provided by the Modern Airs Orchestra, and, as are all our dances, was well attended and voted a great success. On the evening of Good Friday a Service was held on the School Field under the joint auspices of the Clerical Union and the Ministerial Association. The hymns were played by the Salvation Army Band. About a thousand persons attended. His friends in the School will be interested to hear that Mr. Gorton is now teaching in St. John ' s School, Johannesburg, South Africa. Football The 1945-46 Football season at Saltus was one of some variety for the school First XI. Until the end of the Xmas term the team looked most promising but with the loss of Lancaster and Fisher our successes began to diminish. Lancaster was an excellent centre-forward and took advantage of every scoring opportunity, while Fisher was a bulwark in the left-back position. In January the team had to be reshuffled and we never quite settled down. It was unfortunate that the Inter-School League took place in the Easter term and that it dragged on so late. Of the twelve matches played, the First XI won five, drew one and lost six. The Junior League XI, the maximum age now bolstered to fourteen, again acquitted themselves very well, winning twelve and drawing one of their matches. Collis, the J. L. goal-keeper, only allowed one goal to be scored against his team all season. In the House Competitions Darrell won the Senior for both terms and Watlington won the Juniors for both competitions. These were very evenly contested and a number of replays took place. Results FIRST ELEVEN 1st XI V. Admiralty House B 1st XI V. N.A.A.F.I 3-0 Won Home 3-3 Draw Home

In the friendly matches which were arranged, however, the First Eleven gave a very good account of themselves. Two bowlers on the school side were outstanding and went on to do well in the Bermuda Cricket Association League play. Terceira who learned to spin the ball very well played for the B.A.A. and Smith (G.) showed up well for the C.C.C. The batting still seems to be the weakness and until nets become a regularity again little improve- ment can be expected. The old adage of the straight bat, if ap- plied, would be very valuable to some of our more promising bats- men. Results 1st XI (All out 44) V. Staff Depts. (All out 96) Lost 1st XI (65 for 5) V.
