MR. §•§ SAYLES The School wos very sorry to hove to say forewell to Mr, Bob Sayles this july. After a stay of seven years at Saltus Mr. Sayles has undoubtedly left his mark on the place: largely through his inspiration, laboratories and science examination systems, long in need of overhaul, have been reorganised. Though initially possessing little knowledge of Nuffield Science, he deter- mined to acquire some so that he could set the school ' s physics course on these lines. He undertook a voluntary Nuffield course in England. On his return began his re- organisation. The dream was, of course, for new laboratories and new equipment and it is largely through his efforts that we have the splendidly designed ond equipped science laboratories. Outside the classroom R. j. S. was always willing to share his love of the theatre and music with others. His very successful production of ' Androcles and the Lion ' by Bernard Shaw will be long remembered. Pleasant to work with and very companionable, he will be greatly missed. We wish him and his wife Dianne every success in their future careers in England. A WELCOME T« NEW STAFF MEMIERS SENIOR SCHOOL: Mr. D. J. Collins, who has an honours degree from University College of Wales, will replace Mr. Sayles as teacher of physics. Mr. Collins has been teoching at the Don Hills School, London. Mr. P. J. Skelton will teach Art with some metalwork; Mr. Skelton has the National Diploma in Design from the Loughborough College of Art.

Mrs. Marjorie Pettitt will be taking over the music grade of the junior School as soon as family commitments permit, PREP SCHOOL: Miss Winifred Thompson, a teacher of wide and varied experience, will be taking over Jean Han ' s post at the Prep School.

LEAVING Mrs. Dianne Sayles, who had been with us for four years, left at the end of the Summer Term. This was a reluctant decision on her part, brought about by her husband on the senior staff leaving to further his education in the United Kingdom. Mrs. Sayles displayed great enthusiasm and drive in all aspects of school life, often giving her free time to projects and music rehearsals. Her efforts were much appreciated by pupils and parents. Our best wishes go with Mr. and Mrs. Sayles on their return to Britain. HOLIDAY ADVENTURE One bright morning at U.C.C. (Upper Canada College) I asked my two friends Bobby and Andrew Mercer if they Nvould like to accompany me on my trip to Europe. They automatically answered Y s . We talked about it and planned arrangements for our plane flight. I then told them about a hotel in Geneva . . . (I had been there five years before while touring Europe).
