ATHLETICS. The house sports were held on the 24th April. The weather was fine, the cor.r petition very enthusiastic and some outstanding good performances were recorded. A total of thirty-eight events were completed, and several new records established. Results: 1st Darrell 177 2nd Butterfield 125 3rd Saltus 111 4th Watlington 87 Champion boys: Junior D. Trott Intermediate M. Lopes Senior 0. Heyliger At the inter-school sports in May, a new zone qualifying system was introduced. Unfortunately the strength of competition in our zone (notably from Berkeley) meant that several of our boys failed to qualify despite producing performances that would have earned them points in the actual final. Nevertheless the boys who did qualify performed splendidly on finals day and managed to produce some new school records. It is perhaps worth observing at this point that the quality of the top performances and general competition at inter-school sports are reaching an increasingly high stan- dard, so that, generally speaking, any boy who achieves first, second or third, has performed outstandingly well. The following results are therefore commendable { denotes a new school record)! Junior: pole vault B. Patterson 2nd pole vault A. DeCouto 3rd Discus G. Jack 2nd Intermediates: Shot R.

Skinner The following new records were established GOLF The almost constant sight of boys and or staff practising some finer point of the swing, reflects the growing interest in golf at Saltus. In addition to the Tuesday golf club which ran regularly throughout the whole year, golf has been included as an op- tional activity in the summer term games lessons (many boys taking advantage of this new opportunity to learn the fundamentals). As far as facilities are concerned we ore very fortunate having both a wide net and an extensive field. Golf then is boom- ing and the standards are rising rapidly. Two school tournaments were held, the first at Christmas at Belmont, the second at Port Royal in June. Nine teams competed at Belmont, each consisting of a teacher and two students, playing a three-ball, best-boll round at full handicap. First place and three Xmas turkeys were awarded to Mr. Bruce Lines, Doug Hillen and Mark Osborne. Brad Johnston and Jens Moitlond helped Mr. Paul Galea into second place. Third were Mr. Alan Myles, Rick Osborne and Steven McPhee. Twelve boys competed in the individual school championship at Port Royal. Low gross winner of the bill Dunkley Bowl was Bradley Johnson (81); second was Rick Osborne (88). Eric Pengelly won the Saltus Shield for the lowest net round (71) and James Modeiros was second with net 76. Low net prize for the first nine holes went to Scott Mayne and the last prize to Charles Collis for the lowest net (bock nine). Special mention must go to Johnson. He recorded one of the finest sporting per- ! formonces of the school year in winning the Belmont tournament with a gross par round! He became school champion in the Port Royal tournament, and earlier won the 32 5 ' 2 (tied) 124 ' ! 40 ' 10V4 ' ' 36 ' 6 at the house sports.
