TRIBUTE TO LEAVING TEACHERS M.A.JACKSON Michael Jackson assumed responsibility for the teaching of French on the departure of Fred Craven in 1967. ' Countless boys have benefitted from his stay at Saltus although there were hints that his learnings had a more Teutonic bias. A valuable member of the Staff Soccer and Cricket teams, he was also instru- mental in making a success of the School Council. He will be missed particularly by the boys of Darrell House whom he has led and encouraged with enthusiasm. ANON. MARTIN HUNTER After graduating from Pembroke College Cambridge and teaching at The King ' s School Macclesfield in Cheshire for four years, Martin Hunter and his family headed west nine years ago. All Saltus boys who have since attended his classes, and there have been many, must be grateful that Saltus was his destina- tion for they have been under the guidance and direction of a talented and highly competent schoolmaster. As the Master responsible for the teaching of English in the secondary department, Martin never spared himself in the task of raising standards. He drove boys hard, trying all the time to instill into their minds his own love for the English language and its literature. Even when boys persuaded themselves that they had succeeded in dragging him off on a ' red herring ' , little did they realise how he was making them think, and think hard. Scores of examination candidates have benefitted from his sound approach, dedicated marking system and peanut butter exercises! When night classes were held he was always on the teaching roster pro- viding G.C.E. Ordinary and Advanced level courses. His lecturing skills were also utilised by the Univerisity of Maryland in their night classes at Kindley Base, now the Naval Air Station. Martin has also been responsible for the school library during his nine years at Saltus, has coached or assisted in the coaching of the school rugby sevens every Lent Term, but opened the batting and bowled his Wardle Tweakers for the Staiff XI only when presurred to do so because outside the English room his main love was athletics in which he excelled at the shorter distances. A determination to belie advancing years coupled with a desire never to be headed by a schoolboy saw him in regular training preparing for the annual challenges he received from all the budding sprinters, none of whom quite managed to show him the way to the tape. An equally determined approach, any many hours of practice, saw Martin master all the techniques of the guitar. The results have been far-reaching, the folk club, audiences at Saltus and Pompano Beach Club and the viewing public all enjoying his lyrics and advertising jingles which have a flavour and originality -11-

characteristic of his subtle sense of humour. Martin has been a grand colleague, and will be greatly missed. To him and to his wife and family Saltus extends thanks and good wishes for their future on the other side of the Atlantic in the delightful Isle of Man. MAL EVANS Mai Evans came to Saltus in 1968. For three years he successfully ran the P.E. and Games in the Junior School before transferring his talents to the Senior Department. To a constantly increasing and varied sports programme at Saltus, Mai has brought a very efficient, organisational approach, combined with a real sense of dedication to his work, sparing neither himself nor his time. He couples these qualities with a cheerful abundance of good humour and a most genial disposition that will be missed by the boys and staff alike. The triumphs on the games field during Mai ' s reign are to numerous to list but at the heart of all this he has always managed to instill an enjoyment of sports. To his charming wife Ann and the girls, Kerry Kim, farewell too. Ann has lost count of the football shirts she has washed and ironed. In other ways as well she has made her presence felt - Prep School clubs and countless chores concerning the production of ' Oliver ' . Our good wishes to them all in the future. -12-
