21 Series of Lectures During the Easter term the school enjoyed a series of lectures on Bermuda history as part of our Three Hundred and Fiftieth Anniver- sary celebrations. The first, on Friday 9th January, was a tape record- ing of the three-act play Rendezvous with Destiny written by Terry Tucker and made available to us through the kindness of Mr. D. J. Williams, the Director of the Board of Education. The play dealt with the wreck of the good ship Sea Venture and the immediate impres- sions of the immigrants at arrival on shore. On the following Friday, the 16th of January, Mr. Owen Darrell, a Saltus Old Boy and a Trustee of the school, gave a lecture Through a Mirror, the Mirror being Bermuda ' s Three Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary coin. Mr. Darrell spoke in great detail of the Bermuda built sloops and privateering. His interesting and educational lecture was accompanied by a large sketch of the Devonshire. Mr. W. S. Zuill next delivered a fine lecture on Thursday, 22nd January on Money from Salt in which he very informingly explained the origin of Salt Kettle in Paget, and how Bermudians used to go down and rake salt, an essential item in days before refrigeration, among the Turks Islands. They would exchange surplus salt for other useful commodities, which were scarce to Bermudians, with the colonists on America ' s eastern seaboard. On Friday, 30th January, The Venerable Archdeacon Stow, a Ber- mudian historian of long standing, gave a lecture on History as you see it. The title was very appropriate as Archdeacon Stow spoke of the various forms of architecture that are found on our Island and the story they tell us. Another lecture was given on Thursday, 5th February, by Mrs. S. H. A. Greet entitled Memories of Boer War Prison. The title speaks for itself and Mrs. Greet was well qualified for the topic, having per- sonally spoken with many of the prisoners on Hinson ' s Island. Her lecture was accompanied by many exhibits of the Boer War Prisoners ' handicraft including a bugle carved out of wood, and many carved bone ornaments. Finally, on Friday, 13th February, Mr. Harry Cox, another Saltus Old Boy, gave a lecture accompanied by slides. Mr. Cox, famous for his keen interest and enthusiasm in Bermuda ' s History, dealt with the forti- fications of Castle Island, the home of Sir Richard Norwood, and the British Naval Dockyard; places of interest to everyone.
