1 t r An Appreciation, by H.C Butterfield, Roy arrived at a crucial time in the School ' s history. The mid- sixties were turbulent times for education (in Bermuda as elsewhere) both at the Government and private level; Saltus was in no way immune. Although he was untried as an ad pi i r iv i p ico vv 1 1 iv 1 1 ilia aui niuouau vc a u vvuuiu oci vc anu u it determination to defend them. His subsequent record in Bermuda education simply bore this out. In addition, what he did for standards, numbers, physical plant and general morale at the school over his ten year tenure needs no elaboration here. HOW he did it (at least from one individual viewpoint) is more properly the subject of this brief appreciation. His was a record of persistence and imme but not of the utterly ' dogged ' variety. By a bl and tolerance, sternness and affability, humo underpinned by dedication to his principles, and tolerance, sternness and affability, humour and hi underpinned by dedication to his principles, he direc and talents of staff, students, parents, supporters and trus maintenance and furtherance of them. Excellence and h the basic foundation — and he did it gladly, often with c infectious pleasure or enjoyment, but always unselfishly I was once trying to explain to an outstanding but eld supporter of the School that Ifelt (in contrast to his scho could not expect to encounter ' Mr. Chips ' now-a-days. I increased tempo and mobility of modern life has hasten extinction of this famous species of schoolmaster, then i must be the ' Mr. Haygarths ' . How very fortunate we all were to t his ten years amongst us. . . . and from Allan Marshall, Old Boy: No one knew exactly how to react to our new ' Head. ' We had heard how much younger he was than the retiring Head (Henry Hallett), and so we looked forward to some liberal improvising on certain school issues. The late sixties and early seventies was a period of change — and Roy Haygarth brought changes to Saltus Grammar, there ' s no doubt about that! Changes which later classes may think trivial meant a lot to 5n and 5h of 1 972. The recess snack bar expanded its variety and operated at cost, thereby allowing David Branco to consume four different chocolate bars a day for less than 50 cents. Taking off one ' s tie after assembly during the hot months was a blessing from above, and being able to wear long trousers all year round became sacred to guys like knock- kneed Alan ' Lumpy ' Hill and Clarkie ' Legs ' Godwin who found the khaki summer shorts a bit too embarrassing. If Mr. Stephenson was in a good mood, he ' d even let the long trouser gang get away with flares or bell-bottoms, (good thing too, because those pants legs usually hid the black loafers which, by school decorum, should have been brown lace-ups!) Probably the most dramatic traditional change noticeable to the entire student body became the substitution of pop music and jazz for the routine piano solo, national anthem or sometime silence during the filing in and out in the morning assembly. Needless to say, students left assembly very much awake and ready to tackle the day. But, more than likely, the most important change Roy Haygarth implemented on student life was interest. No matter what academic or extracurricular activities were occurring, the Head was always there, lending his support and enthusiasm. Rugger, being by far his favourite sport, presented the opportunity of knowing this man away from ' school ' . The class of 1 972 produced the inter-school rugger trophy for three consecutive years, once as intermediates, and twice as senior competitors. The Head and school were proud of the success and this paved the way for mutual self-respect — something which sent Saltus Grammar School soaring above the rest. So this man was extremely special to the ' men ' of 1972. Full of life, conviction, determination, innovation, and in particular, understanding; understanding toward those with every talent as well as those without it — but most important, the understanding of a friend. I guess smoking a pipe isn ' t that bad after all!
