18 Swimming Last year was an outstanding one lor swimming and two Saltus boys, Walter Bardgett and Robert Cooke, earned themselves a place on Bermuda ' s Olymj ic Swinnning team which journeyed to Lon- don, England. The impetus received Irom tliis Olympic competi- tion had its influence on the bidk of the school ' s swimmers and there were several outstanding performances at the Inter-House Swimming competition held on October 1st. Once again the BAA pool was kindly loaned for the occasion by that Association and the school is greatly indebted for this and previous favours. The sj ecialized coaching that some of our swimmers have had at the hands of Harvard coach Bill Brooks and Bob Aaron during the summer months has pushed the standard of this sport higher than all others and for this we are indeed fortunate. At the Inter- ors ' ' Meet records were set by Walter Bardgett who sw am the 100 Yards Freestyle in his group in 60.7 seconds and the 200 Yards Freestvle in 2 minutes 15 seconds. Arthur Mullin set a new mark in the Senior 50 Yards Backstroke in 36.6 seconds and Butterfield House set a new mark in the Senior Medley Relay of 1 minute 43.4 seconds.

Annual Art Exhibition A small but successful exhibition was held this year in the School Library on Thursday, March 24th, 1949. Notable amongst the exhibits were the charcoal drawings of T. W. P. Vesey, that of a head from the antique winning the Senior prize, although the still-lifes he submitted were also of a very high standard. The junior section prize was won by C. Zuill for his lively coloured drawing of a horse and its jockey, and F. R. J. Petty won the Special Prize for his well devised repeated pattern. The show was judged by Mr. H. Watlington, who smilingly confessed that he had great difficulty in making the final choice, particularly amongst the drawings shortlisted in the junior section. The Manual Training section of exhibition was adjucated by Mr. F. Snape and from the man well-made and beautifully finished exhibits he chose the work of M. M. Minugh and C. A. P. Dickens. The entries included many useful and decorative objects including tie-racks, door-stops, garden-trowels, cold chisels, paper-knives and a well-turned cedar table-lamp standard. It is hoped that there will be another Art Exhibition of more extensive dimensions in the Winter Term which will be commented upon in the next issue of the school Magazine. In the meantime it is hoped that interest in this subject will continue both in and out of school. The Stamp Club The Stamp Club has met regularly every week, and there has been quite a good attendance usually. It is being run on different lines from what it was. The main object is to encourage boys to increase their collec- tion by swopping as far as possible in accordance with catalogue prices. There is great keenness especially among the younger boys, and the numbers have now reached twenty seven.
