His initial publicity campaign, many training sessions and practice expeditions soon attracted 35-40 boys to become seriously in- volved in the scheme. They all soon discovered that qualification, even at Bronze State was not easy, as their 15 mile expeditions became 23 and one or two found themselves temporarily disqualified through some minor infringement of the rules. At any rate, the Scheme was thriving when Adrian died and such was the job he had done in three short months, that the momentum generated was a major factor throughout the rest of the year. In February, Kevin Dill, Richard Bean, Alan Pitman, John Swainson, John Green- slade, Stephen Steynor, Chris Shanks and Malcolm Smith were presented to the Duke of Edinburgh and received their Bronze Awards, while at the time of writing another 12 or so had completed all four sections of Bronze and would probably be presented during the summer or at the beginning of next term. Adrian was very directly involved with all the boys in the scheme and assumed re- sponsibility for them as regards arrangements for services, hobbies and expeditions, but those who have not yet succeeded incompleting the Bronze Award must ask them- selves if a little more initiative would not have taken them to Government House in the near future. Mr. Galea will be organizing the Scheme next year, and it is hoped that he can produce the first Silver Award at Saltus. L.G.C. 20

MUSIC 1975 This has been a busy year musically with more commitments than ever before. The Choir and Band combined for the Annual Carol Service and provided a varied and effective programme of Christmas Music. There were some distinguished solo per- formances at the service and particularly good was Alan Pitman ' s reading of the first movement of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto. The Spring Term saw the Choir practising several choruses from ' Messiah ' and it was encouraging to note that many boys were able to follow the score of this. The Choir eventually combined with about 120 other singers from various other choral groups and the performance was deemed a success. The soloists lent an air of profes- sionalism to the event and I would like to thank Jean Motyer, George Murphy, Mar- jorie Pettit and Leslie Betteridge for their splendid contribution. Del Pedro provided an excellent contrast to the singing with a dynamic performance of a sonata for flute by Loeillet. This year has seen an enormous improvement in the Band. Others thought so too and the boys were invited to provide music for the Royal Visit when Her Majesty the Queen visited City Hall. Shortly afterw ards the Band was invited to play at the open- ing of the Purvis Park Housing Development. For this, the Band was given $100 for new music. Some of the more senior instrumentalists made a significant contribution to the Revue and sounds of Bob Dylan and The Carpenters added a new dimension to the school ' s music. I have been encouraged by the number of boys who attend the concerts in City Hall: this is an important part of a musician ' s training. The School was indeed most fortunate to have Anthony Peebles give a lecture recital on the piano and more recently, some boys had the pleasure of hearing a String Quartet from the Julliard School of Music. The music for Founder ' s Day successfully concluded a year of varied and, I hope, enjoyable year of musical activity. In closing I would like to thank the visiting instrumental teachers who contribute so much to the musical life of the school.
