Free education will be supplied in one or other of the schools in the Island which run academic courses to G.C.E. level, to those students who pass the Board of Education ' s examination. The Board has been reticent about the form and content of this examination, but all the primary school children in Bermuda have now taken it and presumably places will be awarded to children who show sufficient promise to lead the Board to hope they may pass a number of subjects at ' O ' level in four years time. A good deal can happen in four years. But there has to be some sort of test if the good are to be separated from the not-so-good, and for many years an 1 1 -|- examination was used in England. This examination, incidentally, is now being replaced in England by a system which is less mechanical and less of a sudden. death play-off. It was felt that it was unfair and inaccurate to judge a child permanently on his performance on two days out of the year, and it was also felt that although an impersonal and stereo- typed test might effectively sort eggs or tins of tomato sauce it was less reliable in sorting human beings. Naturally, most of the pressure to do away with the English 1 1 + came from the parents of those who failed it, but be that as it may an increasing number of Local Education Authorities (equivalent to the Board of Education in Bermuda) now use a series of smaller tests set at intervals over a year or more of each child ' s schooling, the results of which are taken in conjunction with a report from the head teacher of the child ' s primary school. Undoubtedly this kind of assessment will hove completely replaced the old method in England by 1970, and few can doubt that the change will be for the better. However, a move in Bermudian education which aims to make secondary education to G.C.E. levels available to more boys and girls is clearly to be welcomed. It is in the Island ' s interest thot fewer expatriates be imported to do work Bermudians are not qualified to do, and free education for the able but poor should result in a larger reserve of brainpower in the future. Thus the now embarrassingly pressing need to bring in qualified people to teach or administrate will become less acute. The proof of the pudding, though, is in the eating: we shall have to wait and see how the scheme works out. No doubt the Board will find that many adjustments ore needed before they can consider the recipe for this pudding proved. 20 MONTHS In January school begins, So does football and bruised shins. February, to be quite frank, I will have to leave a blank. Windy March brings the Spring, When we hear the bluebirds sing. The month of April brings the rain. Coaxing flowers to grow again. After all these April showers, It is a joy to see May flowers. June is the time to plan vacations. Make arrangements and reservations. Hot July ' s the end of term, And with report cards. Dad ' s quite firm. August is the time for swimming. Rowing boats and going finning. By September, sad to say. Holidays ore over ' til Christmas Day. Late October brings Halloween, Popcorn, apples and ice-cream. Early November brings Guy Fawkes ' Day, Bangers! and rockets turn night into day. In cold December comes Christmas Day, Joy and gladness to all, we pray. T. W. T. HALU Jr. V. 1st XI FOOTBALL - 1965 The 1965 season was not one of the best experienced by the Saltus 1st XI and the team ended up with an unimpressive record. The results obtained were not due to a lack of potential amongst the team members but rather to the absence of any cohesion between them. The passing was not as accurate as one could have hoped and players showed a lock of imagination, in most instances, when it came to using the open spaces available. Perhaps physical fitness, or rather the opposite, was another pitfall in our bid for success. A good example where fitness would have made a great difference was the game against Dellwood. This, the first game of the season, was drawn. 21 With a lead of 2-1 our strength petered out in the dying minutes, allowing the opposition their equalising goal. This was perhaps our best game of the season OS far as skillful playing and determination goes and had we kept up to this standord throughout the season perhaps our record would have been better. J. R. SIGGINS, Sr. V. JUNIOR LEAGUE For the third consecutive year, the School ' s under thirteen players won the coveted trophy for the B.S.S.A. Junior League Football Competition. The com- petition was ogain conducted in one league and Saltus drew only one home again. In the School ' s first encounter at Dellwood, goals by C. S. Brown and P. S. Welch, paved the way for an encouraging 3-1 victory. In their only home match against Sandys, the School were hardly extended in winning comfortably by eight goals against a youthful but plucky opposition. In the next two matches, the eleven showed their ability to come from behind. At Warwick, although always behind until the last few minutes of play, a concerted drive resulted in the winning goal only seconds from the final whistle. At Cavendish, the following week, the School team was one down almost from the start. The margin of play slowly but surely swung and adapting to the confines of a smaller field, the School snatched the equaliser and were unlucky not to win. The final game against Gilbert Institute would decide the competition winners, and again playing on a small field, the boys settled right down to ploy constructive football and a goal in each half by Tyler Moniz set the stage for the successful defense of the league title. Junior League Players: J. C. Conyers improved rapidly in goal. P. M. Lamont and Moulder proved a solid defence with R. Lines as reserve. P. G. Leighton was a steady and constructive wing half, while M. F. J. Barritt on occasions, added to the attack. B. W. Mollis and P. S. Welch combined well in attack on the right side, P. A. Card worked hard both defensively and on attack, while C. S. Brown filled the centre spot with drive, Tyler Moniz, experienced left winger, was the out- standing forward and always a dangerous player when on the move. R. J. Ahern controlled the play from the centre half position and proved a capable captain. Results: S.G.S. 3 Dellwood 1 8 Sandys 0 3 Warwick 2 1 Cavendish 1 2 Gilbert 0 P.S.W 22 23 24 INTER-HOUSE FOOTBALL REPORT This year ' s football competition was the cause of an unusual and vigorous determination to win. The spirited rivalry was due to exhaustive attempts to Instill greater house spirit in the boys, which efforts bore fruit. The bid for the championship was very well contested indeed and the decisive match between Darrell and Watlington exhibited some constructive and gentlemanly football with Darrell taking the honours with a penalty, clinching an extremely close game, 1 -0. Unfortunately, Butterfield and Saltus were handicapped in their lack of able footballers and lost 3 and 2 of their 3 games respectively, which, incidentally, is no indication of the great enthusiasm and fight which the two teams exhibited In all of their games. Darrell captured all 3 of their games and Watlington were successful in 2, their only loss being against Darrell. The football competition is always one in which good clean rivalry and sportsmanship is shown, and it is useful experience for junior league players to play against senior boys. J. R. SIGGINS, Sr. V. RUGBY FOOTBALL Getting off to a slower start than last year, due to a prolonged football season, two potential seven ' s were quickly formed and trained by Mr. Hunter and Mr. Farrow. This year positions in both teams had to be earned, consequently training sessions were more frequent and harder. It was soon found that we had more three quarters than forwards, and it was in the packs that our main weakness lay. A week before the actual seven a side Tournament, both sevens had been formed and were playing together smoothly, the three quarters were getting the ball out to the wing and the forward getting It back In the loose. Unfortunately the first seven didn ' t really hove strong enough opposition in practise games, and chaps were inclined to play out of position. All the same, by the time the big doy came both teams had a good idea of how rugby should be played. As usual Saltus A team has the unfortunate knack of picking the strongest opponents for the first round, in this case Kindley A , who beating us in the loose every time, never gave our very fast three quarters a chance to get moving. Had they done so, I feel the outcome would hav been different. The marking was bad but the tackling, although slow, was good, the forwards although vastly out-weighed put up a gallant fight, led by C. E. Campbell. The B team. Captained by A. D. Dodwell, were again beaten by a Kindley team, but as they did last year, showed surprising spirit and played a very keen, if somewhat wild, game of rugger. In conclusion, both sides deserve credit, everyone gave of their best, and with the young blood, which is now taking a keener interest in the game, combined with the experience of the older players, we should do well next season.

In the Physics laboratory several superb exhibits were on show in most of the fields of pressure, electricity and light. On entering the laboratory one saw a demonstration by I. Campbell and D. Skinner showing the effects of atmosphere pressure on evacuated objects. Next to them D. Rogers was demonstrating the use of the expansion of metals by heating to make a fire alarm. As you passed on into the electricity section, P. Welch had exhibits indicating the magnetic effect of an electric current and Barlow ' s wheel showing the direction of a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field. While B. Davis demonstrated a simple electric motor at work. In his exhibits G. Pantry showed the function of the dynamo and the process of induction coils. In the light section the spectrum of ordinary white light and yellow sodium light was seen with a spectroscope. The Brownian movement showing the irregular motion of carbon particles under a microscope was also exhibited by E. Rose. The function of the photo cell and its amplification was demonstrated by G. Gibbons. R. Hawke showed the breaking down of air under high voltage and the passage of electrons through vacuum tubes. On the whole all the visitors who came around to see the experiments seemed pleased with the show. THE PHYSICS DISPLAY The Physics part of the Science display this year was carried over into the adjacent form room. Here a number of boys had displays arranged for the visitors. Pendulum characteristics and the displacement can method of volume measuring were exhibited by Mark Andrew; Archimedes Principle was demonstrated by Richard Ahern and Gregg Hamilton. Grant Gibbons arranged an experiment to find the efficiency of a bicycle. With the aid of different types of magnets, Mark Barritt and David Holgate showed the lines of force surrounding these. The final table was wholly dedicated to sound for which Geoffrey Frith and Bruce Barker had a number of experiments inc ' uding organ pipes, an oscilloscope and a short film on sound. M. D. KAY, Sr. IV. 27 DISPLAY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION After o lapse of several years, during which Prize Day was held at the City Hall, a display of work in the gym, by th« boys of the Junior and Senior School was seen again. Past experience hod shown that parents are reluctant to enter the gymnasium, (perhaps they imagine, that once in there, they ore expected to show their prowess of yesteryear!) So whilst they were persuaded to enter a series of group activities were shown by Senior boys, which included weight training exercises, agilities and gymnastics on the mats, some Basketball skids and drills, and several spectacular stunts on the trampoline. By this time, most of our visitors had found a space in the gym, and Mr. Welch appeared with his Junior boys. They demonstrated a non-stop set of strengthening and mobility exercises, followed by some team games based on Basketball and Soccer skills. Then followed on exhibition by boys from the Senior School, looking smart In their scarlet singlets, white shorts and shoes. They began with a display of free-standing, wide-range movements desgined to strengthen the ormc and shoulders, spine and abdomen. After this, a display of work on the wall bars, ropes and beams provided some excitement, as they were combined to illustrate circuit- training. Finally, the boys gave a fine exhibition of agilities and vaulting on the Box and Horse , all performed in good gymnastic style. R. S. ALGER. THE CAROL CONCERT The Carol service of 1965 was enjoyed by a large crowd of parents and students; the service, thanks to the excellent efforts of Mr. John Bridge in his coaching and his musical accompaniment, was deemed a success. The boys in the choir seemed to enjoy it and were enthusiastic in their praiseworthy presentation. Mr. Bridge, making a change in the usual format of the performance, gave a short history of each tune before the choir sang it. This was done with meaning and greatly enhanced the performance. A noticeable change in the service was the absence of the recently disbanded terKJr and bass sections of the Choir. Whether this added to or detracted from any success of the service is a matter of opinion but certainly the change was a striking one. Again the boys must be congratulated for their performance and lauded for their keen efforts. J. R. SIGGINS, Sr. V. TREE-PLANTING CEREMONY Commemorating visit to Bermuda pf H.R.H. Princess Margaret In November, a representative of the Keep Bermuda Beautiful committee, Mr. A. Geoffrey Chaplin, come to the School and plonted a palm tree at the entrance to the School, celebrating the visit of Princess Margaret. In his s.Deech he spoke of the need for more trees and other plants to keep Bermuda attractive to tourists, and emphasised that it was the duty of all Bermudians to preserve the beauty of the Island. J. M. AHERN, Sr. IV. 28 ATHLETIC SPORTS - 1966 The sports were held on Thursdoy, 24th March this year, and the School hod the morning off to allow Mr. Alger and a small number of boys to prepare the arena. They did an excellent job and the stage was set for the entry, in the afternoon, of the gladiators and the spectators. The weather was unusually favourable this year, worm with only a light wind, so everything was on the side of the athletes; but they made more than full use of the good conditions. In all, thirteen records were set — something of a record in itself — and the performances all round were of a very respectable standard. In the senior group D. A. Ranee and C. E. Campbell were outstanding In their own spheres. A very powerful but rather clumsy runner, Ranee has shown great promise in the sprints this year. None of Ranee ' s times has been remarkable as yet, but our track is notoriously slow, and the inter-schools meeting may show us what Ranee can really do. In the hurdles, however. Ranee becomes more economical in style and his time of 16 sec. is very promising for a first full run over 110 yards. It seems to me that it is in the hurdles that his greatest potential lies. Campbell dominated in the field as Ranee did on the track. His discus throw of 128 ' 6 broke his own record by many feet, and was possibly better than Campbell himself expected. Unfortunately R. B. McClarron ' s broken toe inhibited him somewhat, so that he was unable to get very close to Campbell, but the perfection of his technique is a pleasure to watch. The shot put record also went to Campbell, again by a good margin; it now stands at 43 ' 6 . Campbell ' s third record was the triple jump, and the spectators enjoyed seeing his large frame hurling through the air like a locomotive derailed at speed. His best jump was 39 ' 10 . In group ' D ' the dominant athletes were R. H. I. Dale and D. G. Pantry. Pantry is extremely strong, but at present, a little uncoordinated. He failed by a foot or two to reach the group ' D ' shot putt record (81b. 12 oz. shot) but his distance of over 43 ' was very creditable. In the javelin, however, he threw a fine 148 ' , adding another to the mounting tally of records for the afternoon. It is a pity that Pantry ' s othletic talents will be removed to the States before next year ' s Inter-schools meeting. In Group ' C the outstanding athlete was probably D. V. Ranee, whose sprinting style, unlike his brother ' s, is smooth and economical. Here may be the future breaker of that elusive senior 100 yds. record which still stands at a remark- ably slow 10.7 sees. As It Is Ranee broke both 100 yds. and 220 yds. records for his group. M. F. J. Barritt also showed great promise in this group with a good Javelin record of 113 ' and a very good triple jump (just beating Ranee in a great struggle) of 34 ' 1 1 . In the pole vault, G. R. Marshall cleared a remarkable 8 ' , with considerable gymnastic skill. In future years something will have to be done about the pole vault pit If vaulters of Marshall ' s ability are available here. Group ' B ' was striking for the jutting jaw and flailing arms of R. J. Ahern, who clearly considers that the point of athletics Is to win. I am sure he will continue 29 to do so OS in training he is by no means outclassed by runners in the group above him. The Old Boys provided entertainment with a rather sparsely entered 1 00 yards handicap, won by Bill Cox, and a 4 x 100 yards relay in which the School emerged convincing winners in a good time of 48.5 sees. The Old Boys might have mode it but for an abominable baton change between Messrs, Hunter and Alger. Pantry and Campbell obeyed all the instructions given them by Mr. Hunter, but he himself did not. Consequently Mr. Alger received the baton very un- favourably, and the heroic effort of David Saul to catch Ranee on the last leg was to no avail. The house competition. Senior and Junior, was won by Watlington House. This surprised no one. Mrs. Hallett, with the help of numerous contributions, organised the tea, and although there were not twelve baskets of fragments afterwards, everyone seemed very pleased with their share, particularly those Staff, Old Boys and parents taking a well deserved break from their duties judging track or field. Mr. Gosling presented the prizes, pointing out in his speech that those who lose are contributing as much to a Sports Day as those who win. All the competitors, he said were to be congratulated on the interest they had shown and the time they had spent down on the field. Records ore broken by planned effort, and a fine athletic show for the spectators is not achieved without long group rehearsal beforehand. I look forward to the Inter-Schools meeting. We shan ' t have it all our own way this year. M.H. THE INTER SCHOOLS SPORTS - 1966 The inter-schools sports was a bigger affair than usual this year, for several reasons. First, all schools were competing together for the first time; second the meeting was held at the Prospect National Stadium instead of at Saltus Grammar School, and third the Board of Education supplied the equipment and kept a fatherly eye on the B.S.S.A. ' s handling of things. A large and enthusiastic crowd watched the finals on Thursday, 5th of May, and Saltus provided a respectable number of competitors for the events. The rest of the school was given a half holiday, but those few members who mode their way up to Prospect saw on excellent afternoon ' s athletics. However it did seem a pity that our winners should receive their awards in total silence while the winners of other schools were greeted with cheers. I hope more of the school will be present next year to encourage their team. The standard of performance was remarkably high, comparing well with a good English county meeting for juniors, so it was not surprising that Saltus had fewer wins and places than in previous years. Almost all the old B.S.S.A. records 30 fell, but only one to the Saltus team. In group ' B ' we won the teonn cup, lorgely through a fine run by the relay team (Moniz, Masters, Petty, Ahem), and first place in the long jump by R. J. Ahern, who cleared 14 ft. 8 ins. In the group ' B ' track events Ahern was well beaten into fourth place in his preliminan heat with a time close to the previous record for 75 yds. This was typical of the high standard of the meeting. M. Barritt had first place in both the triple and high jumps, but his 16 ft. 3 ins. in the long jump was only good enough for third place. Borritt ' s performances this year show very great promise for the future. On the track D. Ranee ran with his usual elegance but showed much more fire. Although he produced his best ever in both 100 yds. and 220 yds. (1 1.8 and 26.8) neither time was good enough to be placed better than 4th in the finals. Marshall worked hard on his hurdles technique in training and after a somewhat shaky preliminary in which he fell over, he came fourth in a very fast final without hitting the ground with anything other than his feet. Group ' D ' again showed some Saltus successes. D. Pantry broke the shot putt record in the qualifying round but although he won the event on the day his 44 ft. 8 ins. was short of the record by nearly a foot. As it was he still won the event by a majestic seven feet or so. Pantry also, rather luckily perhaps, reversed the preliminary javelin result by beating his main rival with a throw of just over 1 50 ft., some ten feet short of the best throw in the preliminaries when Pantry was second. G. Campbell just scraped into the last six in the discus, feebly lobbing the implement a lethargic 100 ft. Then on the Thursday he shook off his paralysis and won the event with a fine throw of 133 ft. In the triple jump R. Dole came second with 39 ft. — a good performance, and his best this season, but his 1 8 ft. 3 ins. in the long jump placed him third, well behind the first two. B. De Couto was outclassed in the 880 yds., but he has another year in the same group and he too produced his best of the season, finishing 5th in 2 mins. 22 sees. The pole vault turned into an endurance test, lasting for two hours, but R. Hillen took third place with a quite respectable 9 ft. After this he had to run in the hurdles, and not surprisingly failed to find his best form. Group ' E ' showed some surprises. Perhaps the greatest was C. Campbell ' s second place in the discus instead of the first he always considered to be rightfully his. Certainly it was no surprise when he won the shot putt in a new record with 43 ft. 11 ins., though this was by no means the best he has done this season. Still he was a good seven feet ahead of the rest. A. Ranee ran a good 100 yds. to qualify for the fina l in 1 0.7 sees., but running the final in borrowed spikes after his had burst under the strain of hurdling, he did not quite moke the places. In the hurdles he had a fast start for a change and held on to take third place in a very fost 15.0 sees. The winner ' s time, incidentally, was 14.5 sees., which is really flying. The mile was an interesting race, run very slowly until the last three hundred yards when there was a terrific fight for places in the run in. Unfortunately Osborne is still not quite fit after breaking his ankle, so the fight included no Saltus runners. Marson also ran. The group ' E ' relay team valiantly fought their way into the final but then they were predictably outrun and managed only 5th place. This does not seem a just reward for the hard work the members of the relay team put in, perhops, but we have only a very small number of seniors to choose from 31 compared to other schools here. For this reason even qualifying for the final is on achievement worth noting. The team is to be congratulated on their successes, for almost without exception the members of the team worked really hard to achieve them. Athletics Is hard work — harder than softball or any of these other children ' s gomes — but the sense of achievement in winning, or bettering a performance, is also cor- respondingly greater. M.H. BASKETBALL The calibre of ploy at Saltus this year was much better than that of previous years. The shooting has improved as has the passing, guarding of players and especially rebounding. The only thing one regrets is that there is no basketball between schools, which would improve the standard of ploy and give players a chance to play a full game. In the Annual House Basketball Competition the winner was Dorrell House with a 34-10 win over Butterfield, with Rose scoring 26 points for Dorrell. Dorrell had previously beaten Wotlington 20-10 in the semi-final. In the gome for third piece Soltus beat Wotlington in a very close gome. C. E. CAMPBELL, Sr. V SALTUS VOLLEYBALL This relatively new annual competition which started about four years ago is a kind of volleyball but the boll is allowed to touch the floor, the player is allowed to touch the net and the boll con stay on your side of the net as long os you wish. In the competition Dorrell were the winners with Saltus second, Wotlington third and Butterfield fourth. C. E. CAMPBELL, Sr. V. TENNIS REPORT - 1965 The climox of the School ' s tennis activities was as usual, the finals of the Annual Championships and for the second consecutive year, the open champion was dethroned. Prior to the finals however, there were two other interesting events. The first was the annual Staff vs. School motch. An increase in the number of teams provided o total of twenty rubbers. As in previous years, the Staff brought out their greater experience (if using at times, inferior technique) to win the match by sixteen rubbers to four. Ample proof indeed, that good shots alone do not necessarily win tennis matches. 32 The second event was the Invitation Tournament held at Kindley High School. SaJtus connpetitors always do well in this event, and yet again, we were well represented in the finals. In the Open Singles, Robert Dale played strongly to reach the final, losing eventually to Gosling of Mt. St. Agnes. Gosling is a powerful player, being two years older, and considerably more experienced In tournament tennis than Dal e. Ross Hillen won the Under 15 Singles class, with Bruce Sims reaching the semi-final round. In the School ' s championships, there was, as always, considerable reluctance on the part of many competitors, to play early round matches, which to say the least, is frustrating, and a puzzlement. Ultimately however, the finals were reached, after many weeks — and very good finals they were. In the Under 1 1 Singles, Chris Trott played very steady tennis, beating Trevor Moniz 6-1, 6-1, not by over-powering shots, but by keeping the ball in play, and forcing errors. Trott has an excellent competitive spirit, and really gets down to business. However, Moniz shows great promise, and should become a fine player. The Under 1 3 Singles was won by Mark Barritt. For a long time, his forehand drive was badly cut with underspin, but it seems he has finally learned to hit through, and over the ball. Combining this with a good service, a fair backhand, he proved too strong for Martin Counsell, who like Moniz has good shots, but needs experience in tournament play. Ross Hillen retained the Under 1 5 Singles Championship hitting the ball with classical style. He beat John Casling 6-2, 6-1. Ross has been playing for several years (in spite of his youth) and has a variety of good looking shots. In this match he served consistently, and was smart enough to keep the ball in play, waiting patiently for his opponent to make errors. The big surprise in the Open Singles, was the defeat of the defending champion David Dodwell, by Robert Dale, in the semi-final. Dale, of course, has improved tremendously in the past two year , and uses his shots very intelligently. He has a fine top-spin service and forehand drive, and if his backhand is a bit cramped at times, he can perform adequately on this wing. By attacking his opponent ' s backhand, and hitting crisp volleys, he won a close match 8-6, 6-4. In the final, Dale played Roddie Ferguson, who had arrived there unseeded. Here was an unknown quantity — as this was the first School tennis tournament in which he hod competed. In fact, he had only been playing tennis for a year, but his natural ball-sense, and dedicated practice had brought him through to the last round. Ultimately, of course, he must be beaten, and in opposing Dale, he encountered a player with too many good shots, and too much experience. This was a most entertaining match, which Dale won 6-4, 6-3, The Open Doubles was won by Dale and Forge who beat Ferguson and Dodwell 10-8 (pro-set). The Under 15 Doubles was won by Sims and Hillen against Casling and John Barritt 10-6 (pro-set). The Under 13 Doubles was won by Mark Barritt and Gamble, against French and Selley 10-5 (pro-set). Yet again, we were most grateful to the Bermuda Lawn Tennis Club, who, through the courtesy of Mr. Colin Selley, provided the handsome prizes. R. S. ALGER. 33 SALTUS HOUSE The past school yeor, lasting from the Summer term 1 965 to the Easter term 1966, has undoubtedly been a most successful one for Saltus House. The House excelled both scholastically and athletically and it is most pleasing to note the spirit which prevails at present. Academically, the efforts of the House were spoilt only by a few who fail to realise the struggle necessary for supremacy over the other Houses. I hope that in the future this handful of ' evildoers ' will follow the examples set by the remainder of the House and will strive hard for good results. On the sporting side of activities, Saltus House did well throughout the year due to the willingness and keen interest shown by the boys themselves. The Cricket Competition, held in the Summer term of last year, proved exciting as the Junior team were narrowly beaten into second place by Watlington House, having won the competition the year before. The Senior, on the other hand, just missed second place and had to be placed third in the overall standings, even though they were aided by some of the more competent players of the Junior team. Following the Summer, a week after School began, the Inter House Swimming Sports were held at the St. George ' s Hotel swimming pool. After a long and tiring afternoon, we came away the winner of both the Junior and Senior competition. In fact the Senior team was victorious by a margin of some 20 points! Congratula- tions to all! At the end of the Christmas Term the Basketball and Volleyball competition were held in the School gymnasium. In the Basketball we played reasonably well and managed to finish in a quite respectable second place. At Volleyball, the general opinion before the start of the competition was that we should do well because of our advantage in height. However this was not to be so — for, after a good fight, we were narrowly beaten into second place by Dorrell House. The Soccer Competition held in January, proved to be quite exciting. In the Junior Competition we just missed first place and once again had to settle for second position. The Senior Competition proved to be rather enjoyable, for after many years in last place, we managed to blast our way to third — a slight but joyful improvement at that! Boxing, usually a strong point of Saltus House, waned this year and we could only manage a third place. It seemed disappointing, for, at the outset of the finals we were well ahead on points gained from preliminary bouts. Better luck next year! The Annual Inter-House Track and Field Meet was held on a beautiful sunny Thursday afternoon, March 29th. The Juniors once again performed well and were placed second at the end of the day. Likev ise, the Senior team, following some good solid training, climbed into second place. Many new records were set this year — quite a few, I ' m happy to say, by boys of Saltus House. A creditable performance! Finally comes the Nicholl Shield Competition — the symbol of superiority over the other Houses. This shield is awarded at the end of each term to the 34 House which has gained the most number of optimes during that term for both athletics and academic work. Last year Saltus House won this shield in both the Summer and Christmas Terms, and placed a close second in the Ecster Term. Congratulations to all! This term, however, we are in second place at present, and this calls for an even greater effort by all concerned if we are to emerge victorious once more. Finally special thanks are due to both our House Master, Mr. Capstick and Mr. Sayles for their continued interest in all the activities of the House. We deeply appreciate their help. In closing, I would like to say how gratifying it is to observe the determination and enthusiasm which is present in Saltus House, and I hope this spirit will be maintained. D. DODWELL, House Captain. BUTTERFIELD HOUSE NOTES The house spirit over the past year both in sports and academic work strengthened considerably. This I believe is due to the recently introduced quarterly house meetings. It is essential for the house that all of its members have keen house spirit so that in all respects the house acts as a team. In July, 1965, our previous house captain and head boy, Roddy Ferguson, left us to further his studies at Princeton University. I am sure that we all wish him the best for the future. Within the house Card and Coad hove been appointed prefects to fill recent vacancies produced by the leaving of prefects Forge and Hayward. In the past year, the house has not done as well as in previous years. In all house competitions, both academic and sporting, we have placed either third or fourth, except in swimming and basketball where we were placed second. Some of this may be due to the fact that we have the smallest senior department of all the houses. However we do have a very large junior department, which promises to develop to help the house considerably in the near future. I hope that in the future all members of this house will -work at school with the house in mind. W. T. ANDREWS, House Captain. DARRELL HOUSE NOTES In the previous year the House has experienced mixed fortunes, athletically winning four of seven senior competitions, a record unmatched by any other House. Academically however, the story was a little different for, whilst there is generally great enthusiasm shown for sporting events, the House suffers from lack of interest on the academic side of things. In the cricket competition, Darrell again won the senior shield whilst the juniors finished last. The senior members played extremely well and won with relative ease. At the beginning of the Christmas term the swimming competition 35 was held at St. George ' s Hotel Pool, and Darrell House finished last in both Senior and Junior divisions. This was a rather inauspicious start athletically to the term, but the House redeenned itself at the end of the ternn by winning the Basketball and Saltus Volleyball shields. In the first competition of 1966 Darrell played a very good brand of football in winning the final match 1-0 from Watlington House. The junior team, while trying very hard, suffered through lack of height and speed, and could do no better than fourth. The House Boxing team put on a very creditable show in narrowly losing out to Watlington House by ten points. The House track and field competitions were held in the Easter term, and Darrell House, lacking senior competitors, still managed to come second whilst the juniors finished last. This was not as good a performance as Darrell is used to in this meeting. Academically, although never winning the Nicholl Shield, Darrell House has always been placed well, and in the ensuing terms it is hoped that we shall gloriously emerge at the top of the list at least once. The situation scholastically is that many senior boys leave all the optime-getting to the juniors, and do not try as hard as they should. This must be remedied. As an overall look at the House we seem to be slowly but surely making our way towards the Nicholl Shield, but are not putting out our best possible effort. We must try harder next term and in all those which follow. L. S. OSBORNE, House Captain, Sr. V. WATLINGTON HOUSE NOTES In the Summer Term of 1965 Watlington did well in the cricket competition coming first in the juniors and second in the seniors. In the Nicholl Shield Competition the House came second. At the end of the Summer Term, one of our House Masters, Mr. Mulraine, returned to England, which left a void which was filled by two new teachers, Mr. Hunter and Mr. Pettit, in the Christmas Term. In this term, the House did as well as expected from them in the swimming sports with a 3rd in the seniors and a second in the juniors. In the annual Volleyball and Basketball Competitions the House came third and fourth respectively, and a dismal third in the Nicholl Shield Competition. In the beginning of the Easter Term of 1966 things began to look up as the juniors won their football competition with a big assist from Butterfield. In the seniors Watlington was a close second, just being edged out by Darrell in an exciting final of 1-0. Then come the Inter-House Athletics ' Competition, where Watlington boys were responsible for 10 of the 15 records broken; two of these were relay records. The seniors won their competition very handily and the juniors won by about 10 points. In the all important Nicholl Shield Competition the House took the honours. C. E.

TIGER 15th March, 1966. This morning our form went down to the wharf on Front Street, to see and to go on board H.M.S. Tiger, This ship is approximately 550 feet long and weighs 1 1 ,700 tons. Once on board, we split up into four groups of seven. Our group was taken to see the forward guns first. These guns fire a six inch shell. The shells and condamen are stored in separate compartments and are brought together by means of a hoist. Next we were taken to see the boats and inflatable rafts. These rafts inflate as soon as they hit the water. After a short question period we were on the move again, during which time we learned that there were 750 men aboard and 50 officers. We now went up two filghts of stairs and onto the middle bridge. Here there was some radar equipment. When I first looked at the screen I thought I saw a cloud formation, but our guide informed me that it was the nearby islands I saw. Now we went into the radar room. Here we saw two screens which actually picked up the whole of Bermuda! We also saw a tracking mop with little luminous boats on it. There was also a gun operator on which a man finds a target and then fixes the guns on It, and wherever the target goes so does the gun. By now it was time to leave the ship. With many a parting glance we walked slowly up the hill and began the journey back to school. T. W. T. TUCKER HALL, Jr. V. Visit fro H.M.S. Tiger Isfr March 1966 With the Compliments of Midsea Co. 40 H.M.S. Tiger With the Compliments of Little Venice With the Compliments of W. E. Meyer 41 ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS A large black ant stopped suddenly, his antennae quivering. Straight ahead he smelt something sweet. He ran for the source. Behind him a small company of workers broke off from the main trail and came running after him. He stopped at the base of a leaf that rose straight up. From the top, he knew, the smell came. So he ran up it; suddenly the leaf broadened out into two semi-circular halves at right angles. In between the two he ran and in his haste he brushed against a large black bristle several times his size. Snap! The trap closed imprisoning the ant. The ant struggled violently, but to no avail. After a while a liquid come out of the walls of the trap and drowned the ant. Within on hour fourteen of the workers that had followed him were dead. Eaten by a plant! These ore just a few of the many insects eaten every week by my plants. My hobby is keeping carnivorous plants, or meat-eating plants. I have quite a large assortment, such as the venus fly traps, the sundews, the butterworts, the pitcher plants, trumpet plants and cobra plants. Carnivorous plants are classified in two categories, Active and Passive. The active plants use traps that move to catch food. The passive plants use pitfalls. On all carnivorous plants the traps are leaves, not the flowers as many people think. The largest of all the active plants is the venus fly trap. The trap is usually less than an inch across with two lobes joined by a hinge. On the outer edge of the lobes there is a row of large cilia, or prongs. The trap is closed by electrical impulses from eight trigger hairs on the inside of the trap. They have been timed and some of them close in less than one-twentieth of a second! The insects are attracted to the plant by a sweet smell made by cells among the cilia. The traps work just as well under water because in the traps of flooded plants small fish have been found. The sundew is fairly small, about on inch across, and it gets its name from the way it sparkles in the sun. On its leaves there ore a few hundred tiny tentacles and at the end of each tentacle there is a tiny red bead surrounded by a crystal clear sticky substance. The plant uses these tentacles to catch food. When an insect touches o ne of these leaves it gets caught in the sticky substance. The more it struggles the better the hold of the plant becomes. The tentacles close around the insect. The leaf is then cupped around the insect so the plant con start eating. The butterwort ' s leaves are covered with a glue like substance that traps insects, like flypaper. The leaves curl up slightly when a fly is caught. The pitcher plant is the largest of all passive plants. Each trap has a well of water which it drowns insects in. Along the inside of the trap above the water there ore hundreds of downward pointing bristles that act like a tank trap so that the insect can only descend into the water. The trumpet plant works the some way only it is long and thin. The cobra plant is toll but not straight as it grows it twists so that the plant spirals. The top is almost round, and one side there are two fangs that cover two entrance holes. On the fangs there ore upward pointing hairs that form ladders and perches so that insects can walk up into the open hole, but when the insect goes inside it slides down, over the downward pointing hairs into the water below.

For the storm did toss the ship around, All hands were swept from deck. The frothing waves made an awful sound. And the ship was all a wreck. And there she stays to this very day, At the bottom of the water. Covered with sand, cracked with decay, As if the devil had sought her, J. TRUSCOTT, Jr. 5- 43 TUTANKHAMAN (took ohnk Ah men) King Tut (real name Tutankhaman, this of course is too long to write or say) was a carefree little boy of eight when he came to the throne of Egypt. He was the last member of the Eighteenth Dynasty, and he did not care much about his priest and nobles. He only wished to go about collecting treasure for his treasure houses, for he thought that he would need riches in the life which followed this one on earth. King Tut had many wives and he had many children when he died at the early age of eighteen. So on November twenty-sixth. Nineteen twenty-two, three thousand three hundred years later, two men found King Tut ' s tomb. It was found in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Mr. Howard Carter who had been looking for three decades was with Lord Carnarvon (who put up the money for the search) when it was found; the clue was a finger-print in some plaster. Mr. Howard Carter dug a hole in this plaster and behind it they found a pink chamber twenty-six feet by twelve feet. There was also three other chambers, each full of jewels, gold and riches. In this pink chamber there was an inlaid casket, alabaster vases, gold beds, beautifully carved chairs and musical instr iments. There was also a Lotus-flower cup with the wish for Tut ' s eternal happiness written on it. King Tut himself was buried in a gold coffin enclosed in a yellow quartzite sarcophagus, and in his coffin were some sunflowers which still hod some colour in them after three thousand three hundred years. King Tut was found placed between two guards. There was so much gold, furniture and expensive objects in his tomb that it was said that it would take ten years to record and move the objects to the Museum in Cairo. TYLER MONIZ, Sr. II.

(See Page 49 for Answers) TROPICAL FISH KEEPING If you are a owner of a aquarium you must know that it takes great care, for fish are expensive and delicate. As a guide to you in selecting your fish, they can be grouped into 3 large categories: live-bearers, egg-layers and the bubble-nest builders. Though the live-bearers are expensive, they are easy to breed. The following list are live-bearers: 1 ) Swordtail. 2) Guppies. 3) Platyfish. Next are the egg-layers: 1 ) Neon Tetra. 2) Pencil fish. 3) Blind cave fish. 4) Hatchet fish. 5) Zebra fish. There are not too many nest-builders: 1 ) Angelfish. 2) Siamese fighting fish. 3) Kissing Gourami fish. 1. The most beautiful fish I think is the Siamese Fighting fish which often fights and kills another male of his species and often kills himself, because seldom does either mole live after the fight. 45 2. And the most fascinating fish is the Egyptian Mouth-breeder, which stores its young in its mouth until they are big enough to fight and survive for themselves. 3. Snails are a waste of time, because they only over-run the tank and eat most of the plants. W. H. PARKER, Sr. 3. BASIC AQARIUM EQUIPMENT DIP TUBE: About 12 ' - 15 in length with a bulb at the bottom. This is used to clean out all particles of uneaten food and sediment that collect in the bottom of the tank. DIP NET: Very similar to a small butterfly net. Both a large and small- sized net are handy to have to catch and carry fish from one aquarium to another. SCRAPER: A razor blade clamped inside a holder to remove excess algae. SIPHON: A rubber or plastic hose used to remove water from the aquarium end also, debris from the bottom. FILTER: Used for cleaning and purifying the water. A plastic hose is attached from the filter to a pump. The filter sucks up remaining food and the pump pumps the clean water back into the tank. BREEDING TRAP: This prevents the fry from being eaten by the female. It also allows them to be kept in the community tank without being harmed by the other fish. W. H. PARKER, Sr. 3. 46 THE STORM The sun was shining very brightly A breeze was blowing, only lightly. Then all of a sudden was an intense roar And then the rain began to pour. All was wet when the roof started leaking. Everyone was scared when the walls started creaking. All the ladies were crying with fright And this lasted all the night. In the night the storm became awful. The dog had no food, not even a paw-full; In the morning the storm disappeared. The storm that everyone had feared. B. P. COLEMAN, Jr. V. HOW TO MAKE A CAKE Well, to start with, you need a kitchen equipped with the following: a beater to beat with, bowls and pans to mix and cook with, articles to use in the making, a sink to wash out the pans, and a garbage can to dump it all in when you are finished. You then take a large bowl and pour three cups of the best flour in. Use three cups because by the time you get it over to the bowl you spill one cup all over you ond the floor. This was your first step, second step is to get one half gallon of diluted-with-water, milk; this may be poured in the bowl but not over you becau se the price of milk has gone up lately. Next, you put a carton of eggs in the bowl, I mean the carton and the eggs (without the shells of course). In another bowl you pour 4 tea-spoons of the best vonilla, second best won ' t do, with 8 table-spoons of baking powder and 2 cups of molasses. You then pour this mixture into the other bowl while beating slowly. If after 48 hours of continuous beating it has not hardened to a dough, add 1 half cup of flour and 2 packages of yeast. Now you are ready for baking. Place the dough in a cake-pan and bake for half-an-hour in an oven at lOOCC. When the half hour is up you may take out the ' so-called ' cake. You will notice that the cake is a little hard to cut. This is because you ore not using a saw. Now that you have a piece cut-off you may sample it, but we are not responsible for what happens. After you have tasted it you dump what is left into the trash where it belongs. After this failure you ore convinced that you weren ' t supposed to be a cook so you take up road-sweeping or become a radar engineer. J. H.

Young men of Crete and of other Mediterranean lands used to test their courage and skill against the strength of a fighting bull. Similar games are still played today, mainly in Spain, South America, and Portugal. The fighting of a bull in Portugal is far different from that of Spain or South America. In Spain, the bull is killed by the matador, but the Portuguese only play with the bull and do not kill him. Bullfighting is practised all over Spain, and most towns of any size have a small Plaza de Toros. The bulls, are bred especially for fighting. They are lighter than most other breeds of bulls, but much fiercer and more active. These bulls are usually bred in the Southern port of Spain on large ' fincas ' , which are comparable to American ranches. Their bravery is tested by men on horseback who chase the bulls across the fields of the ' fincas ' with long poles. This helps the ranchers choose which bulls to send to the different bullrings around the country. Many bullfighters raise their own bulls. The Matadores, or toceros are the men who do most of the cape work and the actual killing of the bull. Some mata dores called sejoneadores fight and kill the bull from horseback. These horses are skillfully trained and are guided completely by the knees of the sejoneador. The best and most popular of the matadores become national heroes and can earn as much as $2,000,000 yearly. The bullfight itself is called a ' Corrida ' and as a rule six bulls are killed by three Matadores. The bullring is an open sand-covered area enclosed by high fences with the seats for the public above and around it. Between the fence and 48 the spectators is a narrow passageway where the bullfighters wait. Each Matador has his own team of picadores, banderilleres and other assistants. The bull fight begins with all the bullfighters and their teams parading around the arena. The Matadores wear satin suits which are elaborately embroidered with gold and silver threads. The helpers wear more or less the same kind of suit, but not as decorative. The president of the Corrida throws down the key to open the bull pen. The door is opened ond the first bull rushes in. At the end of the fight the bull is dragged away by a team of highly decoroted mules. The fight is a three act drama, and the first part presents the picadores. These men are on the backs of very heavily padded horses. The object is for the bull to charge into the horse and for the picador to plant his lance behind the animal ' s neck. This helps to limit the sideway sweep of the horns. Men with capes direct the bull ' s charge towards the picador. It is the waving of the cape, not the bright red colour that attracts the bull ' s attention. After the bull has been ' pierced ' a few times, the act of the banderilleros takes place. These men are on foot and each of them has three minutes to plant his pair of banderillos ( hooked darts) on either side of the bull ' s neck. Four pair ore usuolly placed, oil depending on the strength and size of the bull. This is done mostly to irritate the bull and make him mad. The last act is the killing. The Matador, holding the sword in his left hand, the muleta and his hat in the right, dedicates the death of the bull to the president of the bullring or someone else in the crowd. With the muleta he brings the tired bull ' s head down to his hooves into a position where he can best thrust the sword through the bull ' s neck and straight into its heart. If the kill is done well, the Matador is rewarded with either one or two of the bull ' s ears and sometimes the tail. Then, the Matador and his team run around the arena once or twice. As they go by, the people toss anything from flowers to chickens down into the arena for the Matador. If he has not done well, he is booed by the crowd and sometimes gets cushions from the seats thrown at him. The less skillful, or maybe less lucky, toreros are gored. Some are killed, but the majority are only wounded. When a Matador is gored, the rest of the toreros rush out into the arena with their capes to distract the bull from the Matador, while others carry him off to the infirmary. At the end of the bullfight which usually lasts about two and a half hours, all of the Matadores cross the arena to the exit while the crowd expresses their feelings by either cheering or booing them. Many foreigners misunderstand bullfighting. It is a very beautiful art which must be understood before it can be appreciated. Every move mode by the bullfighters is one which has been studied and practiced many times. The capework is something to marvel at. The popularity of bullfighting seems to have even spread to the U.S.A. where in Houston, Texas the United States ' first bullring has just been completed. H. F. WILLKIE, Sr. IV. 49 TEST YOURSELF !

E. G. GIBBONS. Sr. IV 50 AT THE BEACH I awoke that morning in a burst of excitement, thinking about the day at the beach we had planned previously. I dressed and went into the kitchen as happy as a lark. The weatherman had reported last night that the following day would be warm and sunny, the perfect day for a picnic and a day at the beach. After breakfast I helped my mother make sandwiches and prepare the drinks. Then I went outside to help my father, who was inflating the raft, checking the other equipment, and, of course, looking over his fishing gear, for although my father does not swim very much, he loves to fish. Soon afterwards we were on our way to Horseshoe Bay, one of the largest and most beautiful beaches in Bermuda. By this time it was noon, and the sun, its reflection dancing on the water, was at its highest point. When we arrived my mother laid some towels on the beach and began to prepare the food. My father by this time was out on the rocks, making a beautiful cast. I did not stay to watch him for I longed to be in the cool water, with all its seaweed and rocks and fish; the water, cool and refreshing; the water, blue with the reflection of the sky. After I had a swim my mother called to us from the shore. Time to eat. I was terribly hungry, and could not wait to start. There was fried chicken, potato salad, chips, and a wonderful chocolate cake my mother had baked the night before. As soon as I finished eating, I ran down to the sand to digest before going swimming again. I buit a huge sand castle, with its towers and barracks, batteries and guns. I decided to let the sea destroy my castle when the tide came up. However, my father, feeling a bit mischievous after the hearty meal, came and knocked it down. In protest I grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at him, and before I knew it we had o roaring sandfight going, which only stopped after he received a faceful of sand, which quickly prompted him to surrender. All too soon the time came to go and having washed the sand off, I dried myself and helped to put away the equipment and food. Just as we were driving away, I took another look at Horseshoe Bay, with all its people and the boats on the water, and realized I was looking back on one of the most enjoyable days of my life. P. S. WELCH, Sr. III. 51 THE MOST ENJOYABLE DAY OF MY HOLIDAY I awoke to a bright, clear morning with the fluttering of a kite in the wind. Quickly I jumped out of bed and dressed. The smell of sausages cooking tempted me to breakfast where my family was already seated. After a hearty meal we placed our various different kites into the back of the car and started out for Ariel Sands. When we arrived there, we were ushered by the waiter to a spacious porch overlooking a beach. In the air I could distinguish an array of colourful kites shimmering in the wind. My brother suggested that we go swimming before flying kites. I agreed, and after changing, we plunged into the icy, cold water. Brrr, my brother remarked after surfacing, it ' s cold. Yes, I feel like a block of ice, I replied. Promptly, we got out of the water, and although we were cold, the cool water had refreshed us, so that we were eager to fly the kites. My mother held it until a gust of wind pushed it up, higher and higher to an extreme altitude of a bout two-hundred feet. The sky was filled with colourful kites, diving and twisting. It looked like a garden with flowers bending in the wind. The air was filled with humming from the kites, like bees travelling from flower to flower gathering nectar. What a lovely day, I said to myself, I am sure that this is the most enjoyable day of my holiday. J. TRUSCOTT, Jr. V. 52 THE SUNFISH My father ' s bought a sunfish! At last my dream ' s come true, I am going to learn to sail it, Upon the ocean blue. The sail is white and orange. The hull is white as snow. I am longing for the summer. And a good strong wind to blow. R. J. UNDERWOOD, Jr. 53 A RUINED BUILDING There it stood. An old neglected mansion, which nobody wanted. In its young days it was a busy, happy and clean place. People used to join in with the children ' s games i,n the open tiled courtyard. But now the building and the court- yard were deserted. The windows were rattling and the old panes of glass had either fallen out with age or had numerous holes made by different sized stones, which had been thrown by insolent youths. The courtyard ' s tiled floor was ruined from the pushing creepers and other plants which stuck up like lumps of tar which had been missed by a steam roller. Out of windows and drain pipes there grew other plants; broad smooth leaves with long hairy stems of vivid green and dull brown. The outside walls which were painted green had cracks from the roof to the ground, they were not small but large gaping cracks like bottomless chasms. The paint on the wall had pee led off in some places leaving other dull colours. Inside the building there was utter chaos. It looked as if nature had let loose all known plants and creepers. There were numerous flowers on the first floor, which had pushed through the decaying cedar floor boards. The stairs leading to the upper floor had collapsed with the weight of fallen plaster from the ceiling. There was a huge vine as thick as a man ' s thigh, which had pushed further and further over the years, splitting the walls which joined one room to another, cracking the upstairs roof and splitting the sweet smelling cedar which had not rotted. Suddenly a car drew up and out sprang four people in bowler hats and with wicker canes. Then made a quick deal and the house was sold. Next day there arrived a bulldozer and it brought down the building with the first push, and It was lunch time so I found my way to the dining car and settled down. Through the window I still saw glimpses of the Lake District where I had spent my holiday. I was going back to Birmingham, where I lived. After lunch I could see the suburbs of Birmingham. Some of the houses were filthy dirty, but most of them had small gardens and they were very neatly kept. There were a few factories but nothing to speak of. The weather was pleasant, blue sky and quite warm, but In the distance I could see only a dirty haze hanging over Birmingham. Every now and then the train would cross over a big major road and I could see the cars. I had a nap and when I woke up half an hour after I went to sleep I saw the houses had increased in number. They were dirtier and there were no pretty gardens beside them. There was a nasty smell in the air, a smell of smoke and machines, and people. There were many more factories and machines and the unpleasant noise to go with it. Then I started to read a book. When I put my book down, the first thing I noticed was that the noise was almost deafening, the smells were of machines, factories, oil and other things all combined. The traffic was in a complete muddle. When I arrived at the station I could hardly see for the haze, .or fog! When I finally got back there was the motto in my bedroom Home Sweet Home in that dirty, smelly, noisy city! that was that. D. J. ROGERS, Sr. II. M.

GIBBONS, Sr. II 55 THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL The Preparatory School faced a major upheaval at the beginning of the autumn term when we found that all the children who were not scheduled for odmission until January would hove to start School in September, and the maximum number for each Class was increased from twenty-five to thirty. Since the top Class could not be accepted in the Junior School until Jonuory we now hod four classes and only three classrooms. Fortunately we were able to use a room in Pembroke Sunday School, so Miss Forster and Class 2 moved out, returning to us once a week for a games lesson on the field. It was not possible to find a full-time, qualified teacher for the new reception class at such short notice, but Mrs. Northcott was able to come back and teach in the mornings and Mrs. Ronald Clarke joined the Staff for afternoon sessions. The new children accepted this arrangement remarkably well, although their parents sometimes found it a little confusing. Miss Forster was helped in her exile by a group of mothers who came to supervise the children at lunch time, so that she could relax for a short while from what was otherwise full-time supervision. A volunteer cor pool brought this class over to the Preparatory School for their weekly gomes lesson, and I should like to take this opportunity to thank oil those who helped us in so many ways during this difficult period. In the circumstances o Christmas concert was impossible, but we did manage to cram all four classes into our own small hall one afternoon, when each class in turn entertained the rest, and then the whole school was enchanted by a puppet show given by Mrs. James Gardner. When the Class 3 boys moved up in January we returned to something like normal, though with nearly ninety children instead of our customary seventy-five. Miss Forster ' s decision to return to England after nearly six years with us was greeted with dismay by staff, children and parents and appreciation of her service was shown by the generous contributions towards her leaving present. The children suggested that we should buy her o puppy and a new bicycle, but the final choice was a dressing cose, a camera gadget bog and tripod and some antique jewellery. The Class 1 children hove settled happily with their new teacher, Mrs. E. B. Smith, and the whole School is now training with enthusiasm for our Sports Day in May.
