Then a brief ceremony was held in the hall here to mark Mr. Bridge ' s 33 years of association with the school, Mr. Henry Hallett, former headmaster of the school, presented Mr. Bridge with a cheque and a gift as a token of the gratitude of Saltus to him for all he has done for the school. Mr. Bridge not only played the organ in the morning, he also rendered invaluable service by training the choir, whose enthusiasm kept the sleepy majority awake and singing each day. He also prepared the choir for the annual Christmas concert when parents and friends of the school are invited to listen to a selection of Christmas carols. We wish him every happiness in the future. 30 CAMBRIDGE GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION RESULTS 1968 English Language English Literature History Geography Latin French Spanish Maths Physics I ) E u Physics with Chemistry Woodwork Theory Ahern, R.

Since there were no inter-house sports competitions. House points could only be earned through academic work, which only allowed Saltus House to gain third place in the race for the Nicholl Shield. In the following term I am pleased to say that every boy pulled his weight, both in sports and academic work. In football, the team played with great enthusiasm and sportsmanship, which allowed the house to finish in o fine second place. At the end of the Easter Term, the Annual Track and Field Meet was held, which, in the past has not been one of the strong sports in Saltus House activities. Although the House contains some fine athletes, we only managed to obtain a usual third in the competition. In academic work and sports activities, the House managed to gain second position in the Nicholl Shield competition. The cricket competition to be held later this term, should prove very interesting, since the competition could be won by any house thfs year. In closing I would like to thank all the boys for their keen interest and support and our two House Masters Mr. Sayles and Mr. Bestford for their interest in the House. B. SIMS (House Captain) DARRELL HOUSE REPORT Darrell started off the school year on a good note by winning the Nicholl Shield. However the proceeding term was not as rewarding, for the term began with the football competition and since Darrell is not endowed with many first team players, we only placed third in this competition. This event was followed by the Annual Sports Day in which Darrell placed second, losing out to Watlington who were far superior on the track. However Darrell was gloriously represented by a few individuals such as Moulder with the javelin, Godwin in the high jump, and Dawson on the long distance track. Thus suffering these sporting defeats, Darrell logically failed to secure the Nicholl Shield in the Easter Term. After the Inter Schools Sports had been completed the Inter House cricket competition was held. Cricket has always been a sport at which Darrell is successful. But on this occasion Darrell suffered defeat owing to bad luck and vital absences ot crucial times. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Jackson for his able supervision of House meetings and affairs. I would also like to thank Mr. Benjamin for his great port in organizing and helping the house in all sporting events. In closing I wish all the best to Darrell in the future and hope that she soons regains her post on top. WENDELL M. HOLLIS, House Captain. 32 BUTTERFIELD HOUSE REPORT Butterfield House has not done very well as regards the records of official- dom, but behind the scenes we have our little gems of wisdom and hard work. The cards are rather stacked against us, as they have been for some terms now. How- ever, we shall, no doubt, produce much better results in the new school year. This improvement should be brought about by the addition of prefects to our house list, and the arrival of our share of new boys. M. W. ANDREWS. WATLINGTON HOUSE REPORT In the past year the house retained its hold on the Nicholl Shield, largely because of the house had a very strong athletic side which dominated in all sporting activities. In the House Football Competition Watlington beat Darrell and Butterfield easily, and then then beat Satus in a evenly matched game to win the Competition. The track and field meet held at the end of the Easter term went off smoothly. Again the House literally ran away with the competition, as it has done for the past three years. The House ' s success was mainly due to the natural talents of D. Judd, who equalled the record of 10.7 sees, in the 100 yards, and T. Masters. I. Campbell, A. Mann and D. Ranee added their flare to the success of the house. The Cricket Competition was held at the end of the Summer term, but because of the lack of interest throughout the school and in the house the standard of cricket as low and as a result Watlington finished in second place in the competition. On the academic side, the house has improved tremendously, but there is still a tendency for the members of the house to rely on the fact that the house is superior in the sporting activities. Therefore if the house is to continue winning the Nicholl Shield more academic work is required from all. D. JUDD. 33 SALTUS INTERMEDIATE XI SOCCER The Intermediate team had a very disappointing season and ended up with a most unimpressive record. The results were not due to a lack of ability and soccer potential, but the inability to apply their skills in the games situation. There was a considerable lack of cohesion and imagination amongst the players and consequently, even against teams of lesser ability, they struggled. The team was never able to find a competent goal-keeper. Throughout the season I. Campbell, McKirdy and R. Thome appeared in goal, the latter showing the greatest potential. In defence Tucker and Mann proved a speedy pair of full- backs, but both suffered from a lack of positional understanding. Moulder, a very rugged and talented player and th e king pin of the defense must learn to discipline himself and play his position. Alongside Moulder, T. Masters was very insecure. In midfield, Branco and Evans were steady, but never showed the ability to create openings and chances for themselves and the other forwards. R. Thome also appeared in midfield. In the attack Smith and Frederiksen, both reasonably experienced, were far too slow and very seldom were able to beat their fullback. A. Marshall, a very determined player, was a useful striker. Gilbert, who possessed some fine touches when given time and space to move was generally too slow and tended to get lost among far stronger players. Heyliger and Barnard also made appearances for the teem. Results: League V. Technical 0-7 V. Del I wood 2-2 V. Warwick Secondary 3-3 V. Churchill 0 - 6 V. Whitney 1 - 3 V. Berkeley 2 - 2 V.

However, though all five games in the first division of the senior schools ' league were lost, our players acquitted themselves bravely and never succumbed without a fight. In front of a competent Ahern in goal, Ranee and Cuthbert defended well, whilst newcomers W. Mollis and Hoigate gave of their best at full-back. Sims and Marshall, of the recognised players, showed most danger in front of goal, and Moniz showed some nice touches, whilst C. Brown proved to be a dangerous left-winger. Other players were Moniz 2, Hollis 1, Doidge, Hooper, The team scored with greater ease in friendly fixtures, notably against the Old Boys, but met their match against the Staff XI, pluckily holding on to a draw with the Staff ' s hungry forward line baying at their throats.

Mollis who did a most excellent job in this respect. The senior school as last year was divided into the three groups, D, E and F. A very interesting afternoon ' s programme brightened up an otherwise very overcast day. The competition was strong and very keen. Some of the boys had worked very hard to prepare themselves and in most cases the effort proved worth- while. Of the thirty-four events there were seventeen new records, two records equalled and four new events. In group D, boys under thirteen, A. DeSilva won the 100 yds. and 220 yds. and may later prove a more than useful quarter and half-miler, C. Dawson showed great strength and stamina in winning the mile and half-mile, but he must learn the tactics involved in running the longer distances. In the field events, C. Godwin proved he is the best high jumper in the school by increasing his own mark by two inches, with a leap of 5 ' 2 . (In group E, the competition was extremely strong.) In group E, boys thirteen to fifteen, the competition was extremely strong. Out of a total of eleven events, there were nine new records and one record equalled. A personal duel developed in the sprints between A. Mann and T. Masters, with Mann surprisingly winning the 100 yds. and 220 yds. In record time. The 440 yds. was won by T. Masters as he equalled the record. A. Heyliger showed great determination in winning the half-mile, while I. Campbell easily won the mile. In the field events, R. Moulder came through with the finest individual performance of the meet in winning the javelin, with a heave of 1 57 ' 11 , adding forty feet to the existing record. I. Campbell upheld family tradition, winning the shot and discus with distances of 38 ' 8i and 116 ' 2 respectively. R. Ahern won the long and triple jump, while J. Hayward won the high jump. In group F. Judd showed great power as he won the 100 yds. and 220 yds. in 10.7 sees, and 25.0 sees, respectively. Ranee won the quarter-mile and Hooper showed the rewards of hard work by winning the half-mile and mile. There were surprises in the field events as pre-meet favourite W. Mollis was beaten into second place in the javelin and discus by G. Marshall and B. Sims respectively. Marshall threw the javelin 137 ' lY ' , a new record, and Sims threw the discus 131 ' 1-5 8 , both good distances. At the conclusion of the meet the prizes were presented by Mr. Ronald Barnard, who commented on the excellent standard and spirit of the competition. We would like to extend our many thanks to all who acted as officials, the parents who provided cakes and cookies for tea, and a special thanks to Mrs. Maygarth, who saw to it that we were all well cared for. R. E. B. 38 INTER SCHOOL SPORTS 1969 The 1969 Inter-Schools track and field meeting was held at the Nationaoi Stadium on May 1 St. Conditions were good, though track times tended to be slow compared with the times recorded in the preliminary heats a few days before. Saltus ' performance was uneven, token overall, but the school certainly maintained its reputation as one of the best at athletics. The most note-worthy achievement was the victory of the Group C team, which enierged clear winners of the group cup. The members of the team put in a tremendous amount of work (almost without complaint) and deserved their success. On the track, which is where we are usually weakest, Tommy Masters once more proved his ability. He was beaten by inches in both 100 x 220 by the boy who had beaten him last year by many yards. Masters ' time in the 100 ' heats was 11.1 seconds and in the 220 ' heats he was clocked at 24.8 sees. He has tremendous strength and will produce some really startling performances next year. In the 80 yds. hurdles Alan Marshall worked very hard and has now a respectable technique. He is quite fast and well balanced and coordinated and will be hard to beat next year. This year he was capable of well under 12 sees., but lack of experience mode him hesitant over the first hurdle so that he always found himself fighting bock from three or four yards behind. He came second in the final, showing great fighting spirit. Marshall also came second in the discus, but the distance was poor and again the reason was rather lock of competition experience than lack of strength. John Hoyword ' s victory in the triple jump with a distance of 38 ' 3 was a very fine performance. Hayward is a good all-round athlete, and looks very promising as a triple-jumper. Next year he will no doubt be in more than one event. In the high jump Clark Godwin jumped well to take 3rd place with 5 ' 3 . This event produced some really exceptional performances. 3rd place in such good company is no disgrace at all. In fact Godwin ' s jump was only -|- under the previous r ord. Craig Dawson is a runner of great courage and came third in the 880 yds. jwith personal best time of 2 minutes 22 seconds. Dawson trains hard and is os strong as a horse. Until a very few days before the meeting it was uncertain whether he or Andre Heyliger would run for the school. Heyliger is more stylish, but as yet he isn ' t strong enough. When he fills out and hardens up, our middle and long distance team will be really strong. Our other first place, no surprise to us at least, was Andrew Moulder ' s win In the javejin with a tremendous throw of 146 ' 1 . This broke the previous record by 1 1 or so. Moulder is capable of another fen feet at his best, and next year should reach over 160 ' . 39 40 Our next encounter was against Churchill. Wickets tumbled fast, and we suffered a disastrous defeat. The batting was terrible, giving Churchill a good win by 10 wickets. On the following day we played Technical Institute. Again we went down disastrously as the bowling of Raynor collected our wickets with no trouble. However credit goes to Brown, taking 2 for 34, Hayward 1 for 1 5, Moulder 2-42 and ? irGo iwui 1 - 26. For batting credit should be given to Hayward, as he scored 25 before he was caught. Moulder went out to the wicket hit a 6 and a 4 and then the next ball got out, but he contributed a valuable 10 runs. The school also played a friendly game against Warwick Academy, It was a good hard game even though the school lost. The school batted first, knocking down only 70 runs. In the first 7 overs only 10 runs were scored. The boys looked fine whilst out there batting, but we put ourselves at a disadvantage by scoring only a few runs per over. Brown scored 15, whilst Tucker and Moniz both knocked 14. Unfortunately Thorne had to retire after only scoring two runs because of a pulled muscle. Bowling credit goes to Brown, 4-21 and also to Hayward 2-13. At the start of the season the boys played well, but as the season progressed we met harder opposition which discouraged the boys a little therefore putting our chances of winning down. Of bowling Brown, Moulder, Hayward and Godwin were the most successful, whilst the batting was spread out over Moniz, Thorne, Brown, Tucker and Godwin. On the whole the season wasn ' t that bad winning and losing. May 18. Saltus G.S. v Berkeley Institute at Saltus Field. Saltus G.S. 123 for 9. Berkeley 50 for 1 0.

Through the year, thanks to Mr. Pettit, we have acquired a number of books with which we have started a small library. During the Easter Term, a competition for the top of the ladder was held and, after a close battle between Bronco, Dunch and Marshall, Marshall won the cup. Bronco has since resigned from the club. The club has played a total of nine inter-school games during the year, with one left to date. Out of the nine, we won seven, lost one and drew one. Our junior team beat Dellwood three times out of three, while the senior side beat Warwick twice and drew with them once; beat the High School twice; lost miserably to Berkeley once, with the one remaining gome being against them. Next time we intend to win! Our thanks to Mr. Pettit, our organiser; Marshall, our president, and the others who have contributed to make the Chess Club possible. I sincerely hope that next year the same standard of play and sportsmanship will be upheld. ALAN DUNCH, S.J. 49 CHESS PUZZLE SPOT THE DELIBERATE MISTAKES LrJ • w • • • • • • ■ • ■ ■ 6 ■ ■ 6 6 ■ □ B ■ ® DEBATING SOCIETY This year has been a disappointing one for the society, because after repeated efforts to gain more consistent and active members, the numbers showing up to the fortnightly debates has been small. The standard of debating has been mediocre and no one boy has distin- guished himself as a talented or convincing speaker when faced with opposing argument. However, it is hoped that next year more senior boys will realise the immense advantage in such a society and take greater part in debates end informal discussions. Junior boys should also- attend meetings and acquaint themselves with debating procedure and speak occasionally from the floor. M.A.J. 50 ANNUAL PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION This year ' s competition was held in the School Hall during the afternoon of Thursday the 29th of May. The competition was most successful and very interest- ing. We were fortunate to have as our two judges Mrs. D. J. Williams and Mr. John Barritt, who both gave critiques at the end of the speeches. This year boys were permitted to select their own topics on which to speak, and we had a varied collection of speeches from pets to pollution. Once again the Junior Department was outstanding, both in the number of boys who entered and in the high quality of material and delivery. Fewer boys from the Senior Depart- ment entered the competition this year, but these few were of a high standard. The results of Junior and Senior Competitions were as follows: Junior — 1st — B. E. Williams. 2nd — K. St. J. Knipe. Senior — 1st — J. T. Adams. 2nd — M. W. Andrew. Congratulations to not only the winners, but also all the other competitors. M.A.J. THE SCHOOL PLAY ANDROCLES AND THE LION GEORGE B. SHAW For the first time in quite a few years a play has been put on at school. The play chosen by the producer, Mr. Sayles, was a dramatic one, spiced with some extremely funny incidents. The actors were for the most part boys from the school, augmented by seven girls from the Bermuda High School. The actors were largely cast very well. Mark Andrew fitted exactly the talkative rather bumbling part of Androcles. An unexpected actor was found in David Holgate, who carried off his part well, despite some embarrassment over the flirtation with Lavinia. As for the girls I believe that the one who fitted her part best was Lindo Vaughan in the part of Megaera, Androcles ' wife. She had to act the over- bearing battle-axe and the injured innocent at the same time — a very difficult job. 51 Tracy Eve acted the part of Lavinia, a Christian who holds her beliefs above her life, with great charm and appeal. The smaller parts in the play, too numerous to mention here, were all done enthusiastically, and were all meritorious. I particularly liked the scene when David Doidge and Wendell Mollis dropped Colin Brown, as the keeper, in order to attain more realism in his scream. In addition to this there was very much specialised help behind stage. As always there was considerable more work done behind stage than on it. Mr. Jeavons was in charge of the scenery construction, helped by boys of the school. Mr. Pettit was in charge of sound and had a little bit of trouble as this was also in the wings where the actors congregated. One of the other difficult jobs was to get the boys into their face and body make-ups. On the whole I feel that it was a very enjoyable experience and that it was also a widening experience, showing the boys what it is really like to put on a play. I feel that a play should be a yearly experience, and could be turned into an organisation realizing a small profit in order to keep it running. TREVOR G. MONIZ. 52 NUFFIELD INTRODUCTORY SPANISH COURSE ' ADELANTE ' The Course ' Adeiante ' is a two-year course intended for use in the early years of the Secondary School with pupils beginning the study of Spanish as a first or second language. It endeavours to cater specifically for the needs of pupils of average or less than average ability, but it can be used successfully with abler pupils,, since the division into small units allows abler pupils to proceed very rapidly. The Introductory course is divided into two stages: Stage I is purely oral. It will take about two terms to complete, although for less able pupils it may provide a full year ' s work. Stage II introduces reading and some simple writing, and will take about four terms to complete. The Course has three main aims: (a) To teach the pupils to understand, speak, and read Spanish, rather than to teach them about Spanish. (b) To provide a simple introduction to Spanish life. (c) To contribute to the pupils ' general educational experience. The overall linguistic objective is to secure fluent and active control of a limited number of basic sentence patterns and of a relatively small vocabulary. First of all we got a tape-recorder and a Nuffield Tape, plugged in the tape- recorder and listened. C. SELLEY, IP. A. DOUGHTY, IB. These tapes are varied and we have cut-out pictures to look at. The tapes are educational and very funny. M. SOUSA, 1 B. On the tapes there are dialogues, songs, poems, questions and answers. J. HAYWARD, IP. Everybody is always willing to have a go at the dialogues. S. MADEIROS, IB. Once we had a lot of tape left not used on tape and we did a dialogue on the tape over and over again. M. DORWARD, IB. At the end of these tapes the man gives us a quiz. L. OUTERBRIDGE, IB. I do not like singing by myself, but it is alright singing with the rest. C. G. POPE, IB. f love the dialogues because you hear how the people speak in Spanish, and fost they do, too. J. COX, IB. I like this kind of Spanish because it is helpful to me because I can pick up a few phrases that are useful to me. B. GIBBONS, IB. 53 It teaches you Spanish the easy way. BLONGWORTH, IB. It ' s better than the boring grammar, because you look, learn, listen instead of writing , answers down. W. LOWE, IP. CRUCIGRAMA HORIZONTALES VERTICALES 2. To say. 1 . Properties. 5. Garlic, 2.

EVANS, 2J. LA ClUDAD DE MEXICO La ciudad de Mexico es la capital de la republica de Mexico y es una de los mas viejas ciudades del nuevo mundo. Habia sido construido en una valle de Mexico y esta rodeado por unas montanas elevodos, en el Sur del pais. Esta una milla y media encima del mar, y el clima es buena. Textiles y vidrio son unos de los productos de la ciudad. Los aztecs empezaron a vivir en la ciudad. En el siglo catorce las conquistadores vinieron a la ciudad. La ciudad actual fue construido en el ano 1522. Tiene una poblacion de 4,636,000. D. F. CASSIDY, 3J. 56 ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS SOUTH AMERICAN MONKEYS These monkeys are referred to as New World Monkeys. In this group there are some 65 species. Many of these monkeys have an adaption that the Old World Monkeys lack, a curious fifth hand , the prehensile tail. In fact a few have evolved to the extent that a pad had developed with finger print on it. While it has no fingers it can sometimes be more useful than a hand. A spider monkey ' s tail is longer than its head and body combined, and the monkey uses it to pick up far-away objects. Other monkeys are less lucky and have to use a linjib OS support while they feed, but New World Monkeys can hand by their tail while they feed with both hands and feet. Some can swing hand over hand due to specially developed shoulders. The most numerous South American monkey is the squirrel monkey. Al- though it does not have a prehensile tail it is just as active as the five-limbed resident of South America. They move around in troops of a few hundred and are so numerous the troops are usually always in sight of each other. They gather near water sources where they get the lush growth of leaves and fruit that they eat. One of the rarest of the New World Monkeys is the Uakan, a cat-sized creature with a short, non-prehensile tail. They live only along the Amazon River and have adapted themselves to life in the high branches, rarely coming down to the ground. With short tails and long, shaggy hair, they move slowly in the trees. The facial expression seems to be one of constant sorrow, but the bare pink skin of their faces betrays their emotions. It is normally a rosy pink, but in times of excitement or anger it flushes to crimson. R. COCK, 3J. 57 MODERN ART One would define modern art as feeing paintings with different colours and no particular shape. The colours are meant to represent various objects. This kind of art does not require much skill and from the paintings one can only deduce that the artists do not like the way God created things. Take for example a picture of a woman. The modern artist might paint a woman with a square head and one eye. Some imaginative modern artists have even tried to paint man ' s emotions. Modern art is very different from ordinary art. One can easily tell what an ordinary painting is meant to be, but one finds it hard to tell what a modern painting is supposed to mean. And people would have different opinions about what a modern painting means. For example, the colour red might suggest anger to one person and sunset to another. Again, show one hundred people a modern painting and tell them to write down a title for it. You would probably get one hundred different titles, but show one hundred people on ordinary painting and you would only get about twenty different titles. Modern artists use different methods to paint. The most common is just to splash paint on canvas, but there are other ways. Some paintings are made by machines and the artists charge so much for each copy. It has been proven that artists even hire chimpanzees and let them throw paint all over the canvas, and then they actually call this art. Modern art also has its advantages. The paintings are usually not very expensive, and as they are colourful they are used quite a lot for decorating homes end public buildings. To sum up about modern art, it appears that most of the young people like it, whilst the majority of the older people do not. This is probably due to the fact that young people like to use their imaginations to find out what the paintings mean, whilst older people like to see exactly what the paintings mean. But os modern art has its advantages and disadvantages either you like it or you don ' t. Gibbons. 58 THE PREVENTION AND PUNISHMENT OF CRIME It may well be said that only a small fraction of minor wrong-doers, such as petty criminals, are actually found and brought to justice before the courts, and even then that the punishment meted out is of such a quality that many criminals are no sooner brought before the courts and fined inconsiderable sums than they ore back at the old grind of stealing again. However, on the opposite end of the stick are the major offenders: murderers, traitors, grand thieves. All of ninety per cent of these offenders are brought to court and, in many cases, receive life sentences or are condemned to death. How- ever, most of those condemned are not executed, if the case was a minor one, but if it attracted a large amount of public attention, as the Sirhan Sirhan case, then the condemned man will most probably be executed before the cold, staring eye of o T.V. camera which is broadcasting the event to the whole nation. Happily, however, executions in Bermuda are rare, the last one being quite some time ago. As in the United States of America magistrates are becoming more and more reluctant to sentence murderers to death, instead giving them a life sentence and a large fine. Only people convicted of grand treason and spying are instantly, and without further thought on the matter, condemned to die. As for the prevention of crime many police forces are being updated with modern scientific equipment of all sorts, not to mention the steadily increasing numbers of both police men and alarm systems. It is a known fact that modern police forces in both the U.S.A. and the U.K. can have a car at the scene of a crime within thirty seconds. Ten years ago it would have been more like thirty minutes before the first car arrived. All this adds up to the fact that life is becoming harder and harder for the modern criminal. Twenty years ago few criminals were caught and those that were, were afterwards given very harsh sentences. Nowadays sentences are much lighter and many criminals are caught. This is much better in one way, and much worse in another. As many criminals are now caught, it discourages others from becoming criminals. However, in view of the light sentences being meted out many criminals do not reform their ways. It would be a good thing if a little worse sentences were meted out to petty criminals. MICHAEL CHIAPPA, 2J, 59 EARLY MORNING I was falling, falling it seemed for an interminable length of time, into a black bottomless abyss. I tensed myself for the crash. Suddenly I landed. My stomach twisted itself into knots and my heart leapt into my mouth. Lights spun crazily in the blackness of my mind. And suddenly, it was over. My heart returned to its usual position and I opened my eyes. For a moment, in my semi -consciousness, I wondered if I was blind. Then I was fully awake. I shook my head to clear it of the last trace of this nightmare and then propped myself up on my elbows. Realization flooded back into my mind. I had merely fallen out of bed and was now lying on the floor. I glanced at the luminous dial of my watch. Four-fifteen. I reasoned with myself. No point in going back to bed now, I thought. Suddenly a shadow moved silently along the wall. My eyes had now grown accustomed to the dim light of early morning and I saw a low figure moving towards me. Half-fearfully I reached out and touched this early morning visitor. A cat! Of course, I told myself, it was logical enough. We had four cats so, in this warm weather, why shouldn ' t one seek the comfort of my air-conditioned bedroom. I stroked it a few times and then got up. Groping my way around my bedroom I managed to fall over a stool and walk into a wall before reaching my lamp and switching it on. I winced at its harsh glare and shaded my eyes, waiting for them to adapt to this sudden change in environment. I dressed quickly and taking a flashlight, I crept out the front door and into the fresh clean air. There had been a heavy dew and the windows of the cor were saturated with water. I spent a few minutes watching the dew retract the light of my torch. Then I set off up the road. Somewhere a dog barked and once and awhile a rooster crowed. Looking toward the east the sky was already pink with the early morning rays of sunlight. I walked to the top of a cliff and watched the phosporescence that appeared with every gentle slap of water on the worn rocks. Looking up I saw the sun rise out of the sea, spreading its golden path over the water as if beckoning for me to walk on it. I sighed. How I would like to, I thought as I turned my back on the rising sun and started off slowly down the road. Now people were showing signs of rising. In houses lights went on and the early morning stillness was shattered by the sound of a radio. Somewhere a car started and out over the sea the fishing boats were coming in. Sadly I realized that it was time for me to go home and once more face the bustle and rush of this busy world. But it had been a nice start to another day. TUCKER HALL, 2J. 60 EARLY MORNING Few people hove ever seen th ' rs doily noturol beouty; it starts with the rising of the sun. One morning I stood on the top of o hill, from which I could see for miles around me. To the North I $aw thf Iktle village, to which I hove so often gone for my provisions ond supplies. It stood there in the expectont hush which heralds the breaking of the day. To the west by the wid« ribbon of rood, along which passed people coming from the pub in the town about twelve miles along it. In some cases, these people were holiday-mokcrs, wishhig to get an early start from this town to the next, from which they would start for the next, never getting a chance to enjoy any of them. Once I sow the man who delivers the doily popers to our village go galloping past, hell-bent on his errand and not caring whether the day broke or not, as long as he got his money. I could hear the thudding of his horse ' s hoofs disappearing into the distance, long after he was out of sight. To the South lay the wooded country, the heath and the fells A fox trotted pass, coming home from his night ' s hunting, with a fat rabbit — the result of his labours — clerched tightly in his teeth. He started running when sow me and I sow him no more. Then it happened. With on imaginary roll of drums, and the crash of the mind ' s eye ' s cymbals, the sun appeared as a thin red line, broadening and turning to yellow, on the eastern horizon. There I was. The single spectator in the vast hall of seats, watching Nature ' s orchestra playing the Grand Overture of the Day. The vast, illuminated ocean of imaginary sound and visible light crept towards me on my hill. I felt a wonderful feeling of freedom and wild beauty surge through me, holding me into its powerful spell. I was untouchable, dwarfed by its mighty splendour. Then it hod passed. It hod actually passed me. I wanted to run after it and stop it. But it was gone. It hod passed down the other side of the hill, towards the town, which was just stirring in its habitual way. I thought of the number of people within it who had never seen, or imoginarily heard, the beauty of this daily splendour. I nearly wept out loud and I turned and walked into my cottage to get my breakfast. N. B. BUTTERFIELD, 2J. 61 THE JUNIOR SCHOOL During the past year there was much taking place both in and outside the form rooms. Apart from the normal academic work, the school took part in o number of activities open to the youth of the Island. Some of the following articles will explain what was done, and much credit goes to both staff and pupils for the standards achieved. CYCLE GYMKHANA This year at Easter a Cycle Gymkhana was held at Barnard Park for the first time. It turned out to be very successful and we hope there is one again next year. Saltus were the top school, and it was a combined effort from all departments, but mainly from the Prep and Junior school. One boy from the Prep. School won every race! What an entry! I hope there will be another one next year and that it will be as successful as this year ' s. GLENN CLINTON, Age 10, Junior 4. THE SCIENCE FAIR During the Easter Term some Saltus boys entered in the Science Fair, mostly pupils of the Junior Department and Senior School. There were many models on such topics as electricity, sound, nature, architecture and many others. The Fair was held at the City Hall, and most of the schools in Bermuda entered models for this exhibition. From Saltus there were about eight or nine exhibits and they all- did well. A couple of other boys and myself did a model on sound. We made the base and background, and a black backing with examples of different experiments. On the base we put our folder with beakers, marbles, test tubes etc. to show how we conducted our different experiments. We all enjoyed doing this project for the Science Fair very much. PETER GRAY, Age 11, Junior 5. ANDROCLES AND THE LION THE WRITER IMAGINES HE IS ANDROCLES (After Watching The Play) The lion came rushing in, growling and pawing, then he slowed his pace end walked around the arena as though he was trying to get me dizzy, I sank down on my knees terrified and hysterical, but then I felt happy for I knew that God was with me and he would be watching me. As I heard the lion roar I prayed very fast to God, when I had finally finished I felt relieved that I had relied on God and his mercy. I now know the real cause of my religion. I thought of Spintho the foolish one who thought that by dying as a Martyr no matter what you did you would go to heaven. I knew I would die, maybe a sinner, maybe a Martyr, and if God wanted to, he might find the kindness for a sinner like myself, to go to his kingdom in heaven. I looked up, the lion was coming near, ' I prayed to God, I felt the lions breath near my neck. I cried out Oh God help me . I opened my eyes and looked at the calm beast. I felt overwhelmed on seeing that this animal, was the some one I had helped a few days before. He licked his paw and purred, I was so happy that I hugged him. The last thing I heard was the cry from the people in the crowd. THOMAS GLEESON, Age 11, Junior 5. 63 LUNGFISH Lungfish have lungs as well as gills. These fish are very rare, and there ore only five living species now. Some species use the gills to supply oxygen in clean water, but he uses his lungs when the water is bad or when it dries up. Two species live in certain rivers in Queensland, Australia. They grow about six feet long, feed on plants, and are valued as food. Another species inhabits the Amazon River in South America. The gills are small in this species, and people believe that they make constant use of the lung. The three species of African Lung-fish range up to 32 inches. The lung makes it possible for the fish to live in drought. When this happens he will burrow into the sand, surround itself with mucus and breathe air through a hole. MARK JEFFREY, Age 11, Junior 5. 64 THE WIND 1st Prize — Writers Club Youth on Display Exhibition The wind is blowing as hard as it can, using all its power to destroy the country we love. All the trees in the garden bow down to his power and wave their branches in the air. The oleander tree is swaying in the gusts of wind and the two tall palms stand straight and firm with their long leaves pushed back by the stormy gust of wind so that they look like a woman ' s long locks of hair blowing in the breeze. The houses are the safest places in which to hide. The wind has made the windows rattle. The shutters bang and hit the wall for there is nothing they can do, but hope that we might come and lock them tightly. Men going to work and girls and boys going to school are half closing their eyes so that no sand is blown into them. They are leaning into the wind and holding their hats so they aren ' t blown away. Women ' s skirts and locks of hair ore being ruffled and wrinkled in the strong gusts. The wind is even stronger than man. The wind that was so fierce and strong, that tore from the earth many trees, that banged the shutters, that howled like a wolf, and roared like a lion is now dying down into a small cool breeze. Everyone is happy that he has gone, that terrible thing of destruction, but everyone knows he will return to do the same again another day. FREDERICK BARRITT, Age 10, Junior 4. YOUTH ON DISPLAY Youth On Display , which took place in May of this year, was a series of events aimed at demonstrating the sort of talents children have and use outside their normal school work. Many schools and clubs took part. Kent Stewart, in J5M participated in the Talent Show, with his piano playing, and 230 exhibits were entered by the Juniors in the Hobbies Exhibition. These included models, wood- work, weaving, art, photography, collections, and 30 cakes, among others. A group of Junior 5th year boys, with my guidance, built a 10 ft. x 5 ft. Stegosaur, on the lines of a Pageant Float. This was designed, drawn to scale, framed and built by the boys, involving many enjoyable hours of activity after school and at weekends. It taught them a great deal about group cooperation, coordination and organisation, ond for this alone it was well worthwhile doing. The whole event gave great pleasure and excitement to the boys, and here ore a few excerpts from their written work. A. D. SAYLES. 65 We received a letter from the people of the Youth Committee. It told us about the display and what we could do. Nearly all of us wanted to enter . We went to City Hall many times after school to help set up the display. We also took it in turns at the Hall to tell the other schools where to put their things . Our school had the most entries, and taking part did a lot of good for the school. Our Dennis (the dinosaur) was the star of the show . Lord and Lady Martonmere were there to open the show. On that day thousands of people came to see what the young people can do. We won several trophies, cups and prizes . On the Sunday, to finish off the events, there was a Youth Service at St. John ' s, Pembroke. After the service everybody went over to the Pembroke Sunday School where the prizes were distributed. I think the ' Youth on Display ' week was very successful . THE STORY OF THE LONE RANGER The Lone Ranger was formally a Texas Ranger. He and six others had been surrounded by outlaws. After some shooting six of the Rangers lay dead while the seventh was critically wounded. Night had fallen and the Lone Ranger crept to a stream and drank. This is where a friendly Indian found him, and brought him to a cave. Tonto, the Indian nursed the Lone Ranger until he was well again. After this the Lone Ranger felt a new purpose to life, to fight crime. He wore a mask to conceal his identity from crooks. He and Tonto rode through the West fighting crooks. THOMAS VESEY, Age 10, Junior 5 GHOST STORY It was the middle of the night. I was lying, dreaming away in my bed. I dreamt I was walking through a very strange wood. There was complete silence except once when an owl scared me half out of my wits by staring at me with its two greedy eyes. The woods soon became thinner and before I knew it there were no woods at all. There before me stood a deep, unseen valley. There, lying motionless on the floor of the valley stood a dark figure. I moved on down into the depths of the valley so as to make out what this dark figure was. 67 On advancing to the figure I could moke out a sort of chimney so it must have been a house. Soon, as I was approaching the house I noticed some smoke steaming through the chimney. I almost jumped out of my skin. I stopped, and wondered who lived there. I knew there was only one way to find out and that was to go in and see. I entered the house slowly. I explored the house, but to my surprise there was not a soul there. I now became a little frightened, and then, suddenly from one corner of a small kitchen, there rushed a knife, two shoes, a pair of shorts, a shirt, a cap, but no body at all. I was so frightened that I ran straight through a window and up the hill, through the wood, and then as I was entering my house I felt as if the sharp, glistening knife which the ghostly figure was holding was stabbed in my back. I awoke and found it was only a book which had fallen off the desk which stood just beside my bed, and hit me in the back. The moon hod set and the sun had begun to rise. Away in the distance a cock crowed. The day had begun. Anxiously I climbed out of bed and ran down- stairs to talk of my mysterious dream. HENRY COX, Age 11, Junior 5. THE PYTHON The python is one of the snakes in the boa family. The boas ore non- poisonous. They do not kill their victims by biting them, they use their large, powerful bodies to crush them. Then they swallow them whole. The common python grows to twenty feet long. The Australian python grows to only six feet. The largest is the Indian python which is thirty feet long. This snake lives in marshy areas near shallow ponds. Its body Is brown, yellow and black with diamond-shaped markings. This snake crawls among the trees and on the ground of the jungle. It has tremendous, elastic muscles lining the entire body. When it stretches 68 WHEN I GROW UP When I grow up I ' d like to be A sailor roaming over the sea. Or else a soldier tall and straight Keeping guard at the palace gate. And yet perhaps I ' d rather be An actor in a comedy. But maybe I will wait and see Till I grow up and get a degree. DAVID HYLAND, Age 8, Junior 2. My name is Arthur and I am a donkey I am very lonesome. I sit wondering if I will ever get to the town instead of seeing nothing but this old barn. I wish I could -see Jesus who I hear about so often. One day as I was tied to my post I could hear many people cheering. As I was wondering what all the noise was about, I saw a man come running towards me. I jumped up as fast as a rocket, showed my teeth and put my ears back. I was so frightened. But the man was gentle, so I let him come a bit closer and he let me loose. As he did this he jumped on my back and steered me towards the town. I was scared and was just turning around to run home when I saw a most wonderful face. It was the most beautiful face I had ever seen. I thought for a while and then ran towards the man. He got on my back and we walked through the streets together. I had a thick layer of palms under by feet. It was the happiest HAPPY DONKEY day of my life ! KEVIN PANTRY, Age 10, Junior 4. TV£S£V 69 THE WONDERFUL LAKE It was a cold windy night when I danced in delight, By the lake I danced there in the autunnn nnoon light. I liked to stare into space while I sat in that wonderful place, Watching the birds flying by I sit there till midnight looking at the stors, They look just like fairy dust in the sky, The rushes are swaying in the breeze like beautiful tall pine trees. The water is as clear as crystal and the world is very peaceful. NIALL WOOLF, Age 8, Junior 2. MUSIC CLUB This year, because the interest was there, we had a flexible Music Group which functioned on Thursdays after school. A considerable number of boys fur- nished themselves with melodicas and some useful work was undertaken with finger- ing, breath control, rhythm and notation. We were joined by an accordion, a guitar, a penny whistle, chime bars and tubular bells. Kent Stewart accompanied the group and trained small sub-groups. Several boys studied conducting with me, so that the group could eventually perform independently. A. D. SAYLES. GLOVES FOR GUYANA The Rev. Clive Southerton, with whom we made friends during the Youth on Display Festival, organised this event with the help of the Diocesan Youth Council and other clergy. This was an interdenominational activity to provide funds to send a group of young people down to Guyana this summer to build a Church, school and hospital. One of our Senior boys is going. Several 5th year Junior boys helped Senior boys to box a sponsored 28-hour non-stop marathon. They are to be commended for their willingness, endurance and good spirits throughout, in spite of little or no sleep on the Friday night! Their faces over breakfast were a picture. 45 boys in Junior 4 and 5 and SI and 2 helped to set up and run 15 stalls at the weekend Fair at Pembroke Sunday School. Bad weather hindered but did not spoil this occasion. I thank the boys for their cooperation and helpfulness in doing their bit for others in this way. This- attitude builds the kind of characters we can look up to. My great thanks also to all the mothers who so willingly provided cakes, candies and prizes to help the cause. A. D. SAYLES. 70 PENNY- FARTHING It was invented In 1 887, its large front wheel was five feet in diameter, and its rear wheel was very small. It could reach a speed of fourteen miles an hour. The penny-farthing disappeared quickly when the low safety bicycles were invented. DAVID MAYNE, Age 12, Junior 5. WHAT JESUS TAUGHT US Jesus was a very special person, he was a person of love and he loved every person the same. Jesus taught us to try to love our enemy just as much as our friend. He would like us to stop the wars and be friendly with any one no matter what his colour is; not to be mean to people who are not as good as yourself or any subject. We should try to help one another and not be cruel or unfair. Jesus would like us neither to be jealous nor laugh at anyone ' s misfortunes. We should help the people who are blind, deaf or dumb and not be selfish. Jesus would like us to be like himsef, BARRY BREWER, Age 10, Junior 4. 71 MY FIRST JUMP In a few minutes I was going to jump, Ken Brown the intercom soid it is time to jump! I felt a lump in my throat as if I had swallowed a ball that got stuck at the wrong moment, I checked my gear and found everything in order, then I walked along the gangway to the hatch. I jumped. I felt like a bird whirling and falling this way and that. I was scared. Would my parachute open or wouldn ' t it? Horrible thoughts walked through my mind! Then I pulled the cord. The parachute didn ' t open! Then I pulled again and again, but it still didn ' t open. Then I prayed to God as I had never prayed before. I was entering the danger zone. I pulled frantically for the last time. It opened! I looked up and sow the red and white striped parachute blowing out in the wind above me and I breathed a sigh of relief. JOHN GARDNER, Age 10, Junior 4. 72 ADVENTURE AT SEA It was in the year 1869 we set sail from England to discover new lands. We had hardly been sailing for a week when one morning big black clouds came overhead; it rained and thundered and fork lightning struck the mizzen mast killing a man when the mast fell. The wind was so strong that you could hardly stand up. The waves crashed over the bow sending a man overboard; after three days it stopped and our food and drink wa s running low. We were in a battered state and we knew our supplies and ship would not last in another storm. We sailed on eastward and one night, I woke up feeling scared. The ship lurched and I heard the roar of the waves crashing above me. I raised an alarm. The wind blew with such force that all the masts were blown down. It was the eye of the storm. Then after five minutes it blew at its hardest, waves towered above the ship fourteen feet to twenty feet high. I knew it was the ship ' s last hour or even the crew and I. At last the ship crashed on its starboard side. We all jumped for the lifeboats and held on. In sixteen to eighteen minutes our anonymous ship sank into the deep. We tossed and turned in the lifeboat for about half an hour and failed to keep together. There were two men in the boat with me. One died of damaged brain when a wave knocked him down, and the other drowned himself. For the next part of my voyage I did not eat proper food except water rats which I half cooked under a candle I had in my trouser pocket with my tinder box. I sailed on and at last I landed on the shores of Australia by the next trading ship which miraculously had not met bad gales. AXEL BUBENZER, Age 11, Junior 5. LIZARDS Lizard, lizard long and lithe. Who run and wriggle, reel and writhe. And when they ' ve wriggled, writhed and run, They lie all lazy in the sun. Though some have long legs, some must crawl With hardly any legs at all; And some have frills while some have spikes; To glide is what another likes. A hundred million years ago. They grew to ninety feet or so. HENRY COX, Age 11, Junior 5. 73 WINTER Away to the North winter sets in On barren grounds and branches thin. Oh, what a beautiful sight to see Snow flakes falling on house and tree. MALCOLM McBEATH, Age 8, Junior 2. A LUCKY PUPPY A puppy jumped me from behind. Her muddy paws I do not mind For she belongs to me I know, And it is love she wonts to show. I show her my love with a pot on the head, A bowl of good food and a soft warm bed. One day when we were visiting London we went to a zoo called the Regent ' s Park Zoo. When we went in we saw a wolf eating a rabbit and tearing off the skin. The first thing we sow was the elephant ' s both. There was a big crowd, so I had to wriggle through till I came to the front, then I watched the elephants bathe for a while and all of a sudden, on elephant squirted water at the children and made us all wet. Afterwards, we went to the children ' s zoo. There we saw goats and patted them, guinea-pigs, which we could pick up, eggs hatching in an incubator, and a calf with horns growing out of its head. It was now time for the chimp ' s tea party. The keeper brought them to the table they drank tea, but the biggest of them threw his tea at the keeper and then all the others did it as well. The chimps had oranges and when they had finished they hod an orange peel fight. The keeper threatened them with a stick, but the chimps just stuck their tongues out at him. Then the keeper chased them with his stick, but he could not catch them. We all laughed end the chimps got naughtier. When the keeper caught them he took them back to the cage, and everybody went home. When I got into my bed I could not wait till I got home and tell my friends in Bermuda about the zoo. BRUCE GORDON, Age 9, Junior 3. DAVID LITTLEJOHN, Age 9, Junior 3. 74 THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY! It was a perfect day for the fishing tournament. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and there was a little breeze. About an hour later we were all ready to go. My mother hod made the sandwiches and my father and I had got all the fishing gear together. We walked down to our dock and hopped in our boat. After we were settled my father started up the engine and we went zooming out to sea. A little while later we started to fish. I threw my line over and waited. In front of me I had a book which I was reading, when suddenly I felt a big tug on my rod. Every second the end of my rod was getting closer and closer to the surface of the water. I started to wind the fish in. I was getting more and more excited at every pull. I thought of the cup that I would win. I would polish it every day and put it on the mantle over the fire place, I could see the fish ' s silvery body just beneath the surface of the water. I thought my rod would break. Then, suddenly, I felt a chill go through my body and my heart stopped thumping fast because the line slackened. My big fish had got away! How disappointed I was. I was really hoping for that cup, but now I knew that I wouldn ' t get it. WAYNE TODD, Age 10, Junior 4. 75 TRAPPED ! I am a wildcat and I live up in the rocky mountains. I am free! Wild to do anything I want. When I leap from rock to rock, I soar up, up, into the air ond come down on all fours. I am a small, springy, little animal with a bushy tail, about 4-5 inches long, I am very strong and con fight my way through a bunch of mountain lions and escape, since I am very fast. I have a den in the side of a mountain where I keep my wife Silvia and my three children, Douglas, four, Fred, three, and Henry, three. One day as I was walking down the side of the mountain, I saw something shining. I grew curious, and began to think what it was. It was then that I realized what it was thunder gun. Suddenly I heard a ' bang ' in the distance. I realized what I had to do , . . run! I ran up to my den and told my wife and children that the men were coming. It was at that very moment that the hunter closed in on my den. I rushed out to defend it, but as soon as I came out a heavily weighed net dropped on me. I was caught, outnumbered, exhausted, and to top it all a man came and fired a gun at me and a tranquillizer bullet ripped into my side. Then the whole world closed in on me . . . and I blacked out! When I awoke I saw I was in a cage! I rushed against the bars in an attempt to get out. I felt defeated, and engulfed in a stream of terror, with everything against me, I fell back exhausted! TOMMY GIBBONS, Age 10, Junior 4. V 76 THE RESCUE OF PERCIVAL It was nearing Christmas at Happy Valley farm and all the animals were looking forward to Christmas Day. Especially Percival Pig, because he knew how well fed Dingle (his mother) had been fed last year and because Percival was very greedy he hoped he would have a big feast as well. Well Percival did have his feast and well before Christmas the farmer fed him as much as he could eat. Now Percival thought they were being kind to him, but all the animals knew that Percy (what they called him for short) was really being fattened for the farmer ' s Christmas dinner. They warned Percy, but he took no notice and just made faces at them. Then the day came, the farmer took Percival out of his sty. All the animals watched in horror as Percival disappeared round the corner. Immediately they broke out of their pens, cages and sheds and raced after Percival, around the corner, up the steps to the spot where the farmer was about to kill Percival. On raced the animals. The goat butted the farmer while the hens squaked round his head and the cows helped Percival to hide in the hay in the born where the farmer found him. But the farmer knew that the animals hod tried to save Percival, so he let him go back and live in his sty in safety and Percival was never greedy again. He had leornt his lesson.

MORRISON 10 78 JUNIOR SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION SOCCER SEASON 1968-69 We were placed this year with the largest schools on the Island, and despite continual hidings the boys enjoyed their games and always played with plenty of spirit. Davidge proved to be outstanding in defence, while Dunkley always played his heart out up front . RESULTS School V. Prospect — Home — Lost 1-0. School V. Prospect — Away — Lost 7-0. School V. Dellwood — Home — Won 2-1. School V. Dellwood — Away — Abandoned — Broken Crossbar. School V. Central — Home — Drew 0-0. School V. Central — Away — Lost 6-1. School V. Elliot — Home — Lost 3-2. School V. Elliot — Away — Lost 4-1. JUNIOR INTER -SCHOOLS ISLAND CUP 1st Round V. Mt. St. Agnes — Won 2-1. 2nd Round — Walkover . Semi-Finals V. Northlands — Lost 5-1. HOUSE GAMES For the first time these were divided into two sections, lower and upper schools. In the lower school, Saltus were eventual winners, beating Darrell 2-1. Watlington and Butterfield tied for 3rd place. In the senior section, Watlington seemed ' certs ' , but ended up fourth, behind Butterfield, Saltus and Darrell. The outstanding ' play ' of the season was undoubtedly the 0-0 draw v. Central at home. The ball rarely left our defending half and despite 14 shots against the woodwork and about 20 near misses, we managed to gain a well earned point. TEAM PLAYERS: Barnard, Cox (R.), Cover King, Davidge (Capt.), Gibbons, Constable, Martin, Cook, Dunkley, Redhill. SUBS.: Cox (H.), Ranee (B.). GYMNASTICS We have started our own club and entered into the Island Championships last December. We were understandably outclassed, but gained valuable experience for next year. Our top scorer in the competition was Barry Cook and school finished 4th behind Central, Prospect, B Spencer. The school gymnastic cup up to Christmas was won by Barry Cook, to Easter by John Gardner, and by Barry Brewer during the Summer term. 79 CROSS COUNTRY This new event caught on quite well with the upper section of the school. After numerous practice sessions, we turned up at Ocean View for the B.S.S.Fed. Cross Country Championships to find we were the only school there. Still we hod a good run bock. In the house competition (course is 1.1 miles) Darrell finished first, with Butterfield, Watlington and Saltus following. Individual winners were Timothy Petty, 6 minutes 32 seconds; Richard Osborne 6.38.3, and Philip Cooper third. ATHLETICS — INTER -SCHOOL The standards were very poor with no one winning through to the finals. Athletic standards have been introduced for the first time and aroused considerable interest. Stephen Martin turned out upper school star performer, while James Truscott from J2 shows excellent promise. CRICKET LEAGUE Again, a ' first timer ' . Only three out of the scheduled five games were played. Law captained the side very well, although his performance in matches never matched his excellent play during practices. Osborne was the mainspring of the attack, bowling accurately and quite quickly. He was ably supported by Constable. RESULTS: School V. Prospect. School 29 all out. (Davidge 14). Prospect 33 for 3. School V. Central. Central 62 all out ( Osborne 6 for 36). Saltus 14 all out (6 extras). Saltus V. Elliot Elliot 98 for 5. Saltus 50 for 6. It was pleasing to win one gome of the season, even if it was against the Old Boys. Messrs. Maddern, McEwan and Evans assisted the school, but it was noticeable that the boys showed considerably more fight than in school games. SCHOOL TEAM: Law (Copt.), Dunkley (M.), Burns, Oughton, Stewart, Constable, Barnard, Alger, Edmunds, Hillen, Osborne, Ranee (B.). 80 PREPARATORY SCHOOL ORIGINAL STORIES WAGTAIL AND HIS NAME Once upon a tinne there was a mouse and his name was Wagtail, but he did not like his own name. So whenever he saw his mother he said, I want my name to be changed . One day Wagtail got into such a temper and mood because his mother said his name is not going to be changed that he ran out of his mouse hole and even out of the house that the mouse hole was in. He ran down the road, soon it grew cold and dark, soon the sky grew black, soon it began to pour with rain and thunder and lightning flashed in front of him. Soon he found a big house end a big door. Wagtail knocked, there was no answer, so he kicked the big door and a big loud voice as though it was an ogre in a cave. The voice said come inside. He called at the top of his voice l-l c-can ' t g-get i-in. soon the door opened and he went in from the cold and wet and seteled himself on the sofa, soon the rain stoped and he went home and didn ' t have the same name. RUPERT GRAYSTON, Age 6 years. THE SEA HAWK Once there was a viking ship called sea hawk. The sea hawk was in c storm. The men on it were not allways afraid but this time they were reley afraid.

I had a test I had to duck under 6 times and then swim to the chlorox botle on my tumei and back on my back and then dim up the ladder. And then we went up to the house and played checkers and then I went down to the dock and jumped in the water in my cloths and swam to the chlorox bottle and then I could go in the rowing boat and I went in a red boat and I did not have a turn to row but I think I will have o turn some other day. CHRISTOPHER TRIBLEY, Age 7 years. 81 ANIMAL ADVENTURES (The boys were asked to pretend to be animols and describe an imaginary adventure. ) I am a duck and I went to the agricultural show and I got a blue ribbon. Then I went home and my master gave me £2. Then one day I got some eggs and they hatcht into ducklings and I called them Rosey and Blossom, their birthday was April 16th. They were twins. They loved to splash in the pond and they used to catch fish for us and their master gave them £2. All of us had £2 that makes £6 we spended our £6 on a new house and we got on very well after that. IAN CHAPMAN, Age 6 years. I am a dog. My master was always bod to me so one day I ran away. I saw a cove and then I saw a man go into the cave and then I sneaked up and saw what the man was doing. I saw he was getting gold so I bit him on the leg and a man herd and called the police and put him in jail. Then I went back to my master ' s house because I thought he had learnt his lesson but when I got home he was not there and then I saw a man with a block coot go in the window and get some money from my master ' s bag. Then I bit him too and the police came and then my master come and the police gave me a present. MATTHEW DILL, Age 8 years. Hi, my name is Mr. Owl. My adventure is about me catching a mouse. One day when I was sitting on the wall I saw a thing, the thing was grey, it had a tail. But I did not no what it was. So I went after it. It went up a tree and come out of the other end. Then I went after it but I could not find it because it went in to a cave and I went in and to my surprise there was a goint. The gaint was the things friend and I asked the gaint what is that thing and he said IT IS A MOUSE. Then I said give me that mouse. O.K. said the gaint with a crooked smile, here you are. You know I wanted the mouse to eat so the gaint gave me it and I ayt it and the giant was mad and he steped on me and killed me. But the mouse that I swallowd came out of my mouth and kilid the gaint. JIMMY COOKE, Age 7 years. I am a pig and I eat mud and walk in mud.
