DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME The past year has seen the continuance of the scheme within the school, but in a rather hal f-hearted way. There are still boys involved, along with some younger new entrants, but no one has qualified for any Award. Two services arranged - Fire Service last June and life saving in December, saw only one boy, Alan Powell, receive any qualification. I am still hopeful that those who have achieved some of the qualifications, can raise enough enthusiasm to complete at least the Bronze section of the Award. L. G. Cruickshank PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB There has been a distinct lack of interest this year in sursuing the main activity for which the Club was instituted, learning and perfecting developing printing techniques in black and white photography. The small number who joined with the intention of using the darkroom facilities last September found their enthusiasm for black and white photo- graphy waning as they perceived the delights of colour photography. One very pleasing result of the increased interest in colour has been the accumu lation of eight dozen quality slides depicting all aspects of life at Saltus. It is hoped to change some of the slides in this collection regularly and so keep and up to date pictorial record of school activities. P. Wood BRIDGE CLUB With other commitments taking away some members, the Club has sur- vived on Wednesdays mainly because of the enthusiasm of W. Jack, G. Collis and A. Parsons. The ACOL system of bidding is used and when memory work (so vital to a good Bridge player) is functioning properly, considerable skill and understanding is apparent. When members remember that the ' Dummy ' plays the role the name suggests, a quieter atmosphere should help concentrate further. A Saturday session was held last term, there will be more in June and a match against the Staff is scheduled for early July. A. Myles OLIVER Lionel Barts ' popular musical adaptation of Dickens ' famous work was staged at Saltus in the last week of the Easter Term. The production involved some 130 people with actors, singers, the Choir -29-
