FAREWELL On July 4th, 1969, Mr. John R. Bridge ployed the piano for the morning service at Soltus for the last time. 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

SALTUS HOUSE REPORT Unfortunately, Saltus House did not start off so well for the first term of the year. 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
