14 Saltus Old Boys News With this edition of the Saltus Magazine (?) we beg to in- troduce what we hope will become a permanent feature — the Old Boys ' Page. The items in this issue do not represent a thorough research into the affairs of all Old Boys, but only of some of those known to the writer most of whom attended Sautus during the thrilling thirties! We earnestly solicit news of any Old Boys from all parents, relatives or friends. Any interesting features may be forwarded to the school or to Stuart Outerbridge, Hamilton. Llewellyn Vorley is now associated with the Bermuda Electric Light Company. Married, with the future Saltonian Peter, aged three. Lou is very active in yachting. Llewellyn Gibbons, whose Luders yacht 655 has been an out- standing winner this past season. Lou, still single, is very much the ' gay bachelor ' while doing a bang-up job as secretary of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Another member of the Bachelor ' s Club and Lou Gibbons ' crew, but who fled the former ' s ranks was Lyall Mayor, who wed the former Miss Jean Passevant of New Jersey, in April. T. J. Wadson and brother-in-law Hugh Watlington, are now with Wadson ' s and Pearman, Watlington respectively. Robbie Gibbons continues to make good with Esso Gas, while Peter Perin- chief continues his excellent v ork, heading the photog. depart- ment of the Bermuda News Bureau. Nesbitt Doe, an active member of the S.O.B.A. committee, is now with Smith ' s along with Donnie Spurling — summer holidays c nly for Don, who is doing very well in civil engineering at Prince- ton University. The firm of Hand, Arnold claimed two old boys recently, both Chummy Zuill and Yeaton Outerbridge now work- ing there. Nursery Notes: There are any number of future Saltonian ' s and their feminine counterparts for the High School who have appeared recently, but in order to tabulate them and register them as future members of your Association, we hope you will forward ■, j)ertinent details. Since President Truman referred to a cer- tain columnist as a S.O.B. we feel that all Old Boys will seek to become members of the S.O.B.A.

School days are the happiest days. Do the buses provide an adequate transportation system? How do you picture the average Russian? Money is the root of all evil.

Paley then clipped one tenth of a o cond off the time for the 120 Yards Hurdle Event in Group E ai.d G. K. Kitson equalled the record for the Group A 50 Yards Sprint. Following the completion of the programme, Mr. H. St. George Butterfield, M.C.P., after an amusing speech, presented the ])rizes to the winners. Scholastic prizes were not presented on Sports Day as has been the practice in the past but have been held for a later ceremony. The Senior House Competition was won by Watlingtcn House and Darrell was successful in the Junior competition. The Inter-School Sports, with sixteen schools competing, was held on the BAA Field on Thursday, May 6th and the School secured a fair percentage of the honours. Four of the five Group Cups were won by the School and we contributed three new records for the books.
