R.y. Haygarth, Esq., MA. (Oxon) SAL.TUS GRAMMAR SCHOOL PEMBROKE BERMUDA R. V. HAYGARTH, M.A. HEADMASTER ' S OFFICE Respect for other people ' s property. Standards are slipping, at least in the Senior School; we have the whole gamut, from borrowing without returning, by way of borrowing without asking and finding and keeping, down to the occasional downright theft. Pencils, pens, geometry set items and even whole sets, sneakers, gym clothes, anything. The problem is compounded by the present day carelessness of most boys with their own things, even valuable things; some boys live in such chaos that they seem to expect something to be missing most of the time and it is some time before they notice a loss. Luckily, nine-tenths of the accusations of theft that can be in- vestigated turn out to be carelessness, misplacing, not searching properly; in fact, lost property. Very seldom do we have a water-tight case. I wish we did; they are easy to deal with. The root of it all is selfishness. Someone else can tidy up after me . It isn ' t my job to give this back; he shouldn ' t have left it around. ! need some sneakers, so I ' ll use these; someone else can get into trouble . And, finally, of course, everybody does it . But why? Most boys at Saltus are good guys . There are a very few not so good. Why do the good guys allow it? Why are they so feeble and acquiescent, with the not- so-good calling the tune and setting the standards? Why does this much-sung peer pressure work only one way, in this area, as in many others? A headmaster ' s end of year depression, perhaps, but I do not think I am exaggerating. Anyway, in a Yearbook so full of incitements ' to pride, perhaps this is a useful antidote. R.V. Haygarth 2
