5 Officers of the Saltus Old Boys Asso Ll. Vorley T. J. Card L. G. Barnes Francis Gosling H. F. Stephens We have been asked to say that the above-named officers of the Sahus Old Boys ' Association would welcome more support from the members. Attendance at the Annual General Meeting, held in January each year, has for the last few years been meagre, and the most devoted committee member can do little of value if he has not the backing of the whole Association. On the other hand, they do feel that there is an opportunity to perform work of real advan- tage to the School. They would be grateful for any help they re- ceive in achieving this end. The annual celebration of Founder ' s Day took place last year on June 20th. In the morning there was a Commemoration Service in Hall, at which Dr. Henry Wilkinson was the Orator. After the Service the Acting-Headmaster, Staff, Prefects and the Senior School proceeded to St. John ' s Churchyard, where a Wreath was laid on the tomb of the Founder, Samuel Saltus. After lunch the School First and Second XI ' s played cricket against Old Boys ' teams. Both of these matches were won by the Old Boys. After the cricket the Cadet Band beat the Retreat on the School Field, and the day ' s celebrations closed with the Saltus Old Boys ' Association Dinner in the New Windsor Hotel, at which Dr. Howard Dickinson was the chief speaker. WEDDINGS: F. C. Mansbridge to Elsie Crossley, in Hamilton, Ontario. T. J. Card to Vera Pokorna in Bermuda. I. S. Outerbridge to Patricia Jean Colquhoun Graham in Bermuda. J. A. P.

7 He seems to be finding life full of interest. R. L. Barnard, at McGill, has written to say that he started to take up boxing seriously, but was a little careless and suffered a broken nose which had kept him out of that sport until the time of writing. P. S. Welch has played Water Polo for Toronto University and Soccer for the Intermediate Varsity XI. When the Bermuda Water Polo Team went to New York at Easter this year Stanley Gascoigne went as manager, W. F. Hay- ward as coach and Harry King and Cyril Bardgett were on the team. H. C. Butterfield and R. D. Butterfield last September pre- sented a performance of A. A. Milne ' s comedy, Belinda, at Trinity Hall. Chester provided the incidental music and Richard acted in the play. Allan Mercer and David Lawrey were also in the cast. The performance was under the auspices of the Bermuda Musical and Dramatic Society. Hugh and Jeanne Masters are to be congratulated on the birth of a daughter, Barbara Jeanne. John Gilbert organised the United Welfare Chest Drive at Trinity College, University of Toronto, last year. Those who remember R. E. Frewen, who was on the Staff here from 1936 to 1942, will be interested to hear that he is now teaching in a school in Victoria, B.C. Besides the above, letters have been received from Edwin Mal- loy at Harvard; A. J. Motyer at Christ Church, Oxford; B. P. Sey- mour and J. C. Astwood, both at Charterhouse; C. Terceira, at Mount Allison University, and John Fairey. We apologise for any ommisions and repeat our assurances of past years that we are always glad to hear news of Saltus Old Boys. School Notes Rather late in the day, perhaps, but none the less sincerely, we offer a formal welcome to Messrs. E. W. Allen, F. L. Stephenson and D. M. Murdoch, who joined the Staff in the Christmas term. They have long ago settled down and become part of the institution. We offer our congratulations to two of our Trustees, the Hon. John W. Cox, whose name appeared in the King ' s Birthday Hon- ours last year as a C.B.E., and the Hon. E. H. Trimingham, who has been appointed a member of the Legislative Council. Captain N. Bayard Dill has found it necessary to resign from the Board of Trustees. We are sorry to see broken the long family connection with the School, begun many years ago by the late Col-
