19 The Annual Field Day held at Castle Harbour was a fine dav ' s outing for the whole unit, but considerable regret was expressed by the boys as a result of the invisible and elusive enemy. At the time of writing several important changes are taking place in the Corps. The Government has provided additional funds for the maintenance of a Headquarters on the Reid Street Extension. This will at last give the Corps a home for the first time in its exist- ence. Lieut. Nickson, Royal Signals, who has been Adjutant is returning to England and as a result of recent commitments I have found it necessary to resign my commission. My association with the Corps has been a long and enjoyable one and the good fellow- ship it provided will be sorely missed. I would urge all Cadets and particularly those of Saltus to get behind new appointments and keep the Bermuda Cadet Corps up to its established standard. Platoon Commander: Lieut. R. L. Stephenson. Platoon Commander: 2nd Lieut. H. A. Leseur. Cadet S.M.: D. A Gosling. N.C.O.s: Sgt. D. S. R Smith, Cpl. Dunch, L C. Little, L C. D. Lines, L C. J. Stubbs, L C. Mullin. Strength: 54. S. GASCOIGNE, C Capt., O.C., A Coy., B.C.C. Athletics Once again the time has come for me to comment on the athletic programme here at Saltus. Upholding the Greek idea of balance in the development of mind and body— considerable attention and planning is given to this phase of life here at school. No sane person would deny the pleasure to be gained from watching games, but it is our aim to encourage the active participation of all. The school is divided at the beginning of each terra into six divisions and it is in these carefully graded grotips that each boy indulges in his seasonal games. Soccer football, gym.nastics, physical Training, Track and Field and Cricket are compulsorv for all, while there is ample opportunity for participation in Boxing, Swimming and Tennis. These varied activities will, I hO ' e, continue to flourish under competent games-masters as heretofore. Looking back over the years I think it is only fair to sav that in recent years the boys of the school are smaller in stature and this has of necessity reduced the complete domination which the school at one time had over all inter-school athletic competitions.

21 Cricket Cricket always presents a problem at a day school because of the length of time required to complete a match. In an age when cricket is fast losing its popularity, Saltus is determined to stimulate interest in the fine traditions of the game. The First Eleven was, last year, fortunate to have such a player as A. G. Smith to captain the side in such a capable manner. Colours were awarded to D. S. R. Smith, R. Hayward, D. H. Harrison and D. A. Gosling. RESULTS 1st Eleven vs. S. G. S. Staff (93 for 3, All out 78)-Won. 1st Eleven vs. Staff Depts. (102 for 8, All out 70)-Won. 1st Eleven vs. R. A., St. David ' s (103 All out, 98 for 8)-Drawn. 1st Eleven vs. Admiralty House (104 for 9, All out 98)— Won. 1st Eleven vs. Visitors XI (80 All out, All out 159)— Lost. 1st Eleven vs. Old Bo ys (62 for 4, 200 for 8)-Drawn. Special XI vs. St. George ' s Grammar School (104, 57)— Won. Special XI vs. Whitney Institute (40, 68)— Lost. S.G. S. Athletic Sports The Annual School Sports were held on Thursday, March lUh, on the school field and the event was well attended by Old Boys, Parents and Friends of the school. Although the weather had not been very kind for preliminary training, the day itself was perfect For the first time in the long history of the Annual Senior Point Cup two boys, each equally deserving, gained an equal number of points. D. S. R. Smith with a perfect record of four firsts and D. A. Gosling with three firsts, a second and a third to his credit will each hold the familiar trophy for six months of the year. Records wer not very plentiful but those established were exceptionally good per- formances and it was significant that the Senior Point Cup winners should be responsible for the two new marks set. One record which should not be overlooked was the very fine tea which has once again reached its pre-war magnitude and which was equally enjoyed by the guests and boys.
