At the Annual General Meeting of the Saltus Old Boys ' Association, held in the School Assembly Hall on Friday, February 11th, 1955, the following Officers and Committee of Management were elected: President — Owen H. Darrell; Vice-President — Horace Frith; Secretary, Hon. — Nesbit Doe; Treasurer, Hon. — William Brewer; Committee of Management — Messrs. Nat Butterfield, John Chiappa, William M. Conyers, Ross Doe, Peter Welch, I. Stuart Outer bridge, Jr. OBJECTS. The objects of the Association, as laid down in its constitution, are to create and foster a corporate interest in the affairs of the School among Old Boys and generally to further the well being and prestige of the School. As recently reported in the Royal Gazette: One of the surest signs of a School ' s success, not only as an institution for im- parting learning but as a builder of citizens who will contribute to the Community, is the continued pride and interest which former pupils take in the welfare and development of the School. Saltus is fortunate in having an energetic and dedicated group of old boys and the intention of the Old Boys ' Association is to increase this group and the scope of its activities . Anyone reading this who attended Saltus is asked to help by becom- ing a financial member of the Association immediately. Members of the Committee of Management will gladly receive your subscription — please act now. WORK FOR THE SCHOOL. The Association has an endowment fund which stands at the moment at £916. The purpose of the fund is eventually to provide scholarships and to ensure that promising students will never have to leave school for lack of means. It is hoped to increase the fund considerably this year. But endowment is a long - term project and in the meantime the Association helps Saltus by contributions in other forms. It contributes funds for publication of the Saltus Year Book, presents prizes for scho-

A permanent memorial is made by the annual presentation to the school library of books suitably inscribed to the memory of old boys who have died during the year. Further help is being given to the school library this year by issuing a special appeal in Founders Day week, June 13th — 18th. During this week Old Boys and friends of the School are being asked to offer any suitable books that can be spared to the school library committee at Saltus. It is anticipated that many of the how empty shelves of the library will be filled in this way. RAISING OF FUNDS. In carrying out its aims the Association needs funds and some of its activities must necessarilly be limited by the amount of money which can be raised. Funds are derived from subscriptions, donations and from the pro- ceeds of entertainments which are organized during the year. A very successful Ball was held at the Bermudiana Hotel in March of this year, followed by a Bridge and Canasta Party in the School Assembly Hall in May. On Thursday, July 7th, there will be a Moonlight Party to Hawkins Island and it is planned to have a Fruit Punch Dance at the School in late September. It has always been a great encouragement to the Association that those Old Boys who cannot attend the functions organized are almost always willing to assist us financially through buying tickets or making donations. News of Old Boys Overseas. Chris Chiappa (at Saltus 1929 — 1935) after travelling extensive- ly in the southern United States for his Company has settled in Amsterdam, New York, where he is purchasing agent for a firm of )iylon finishers.
