TRUSTEES H.C. Butterfield, Esq. — Chairman J. Amos, Esq. D. Anfossi, Esq. J. Burland, Esq. Dr. D.E. Campbell H.C.D. Cox, Esq. N.B. Dill, Jr., Esq. F.J. Gosling, M.B.E. C.E. Pearman, Esq. Dr. E.S.D. Ratteray D.C. Selley, Esq. L. Simmons, Esq. D. Tolaram, Esq. G. Titterton, Esq. Saltus Grammar School Bursar: Mr. G. Rosser Might we take this opportunity to bid a very warm welcome to our three new trustees, Mr. J. Amos, Mr. D. Tolaram and Dr. E.S.D. Rat- teray. It is our hope that their association with the school will be both a long and happy one. FROM THE HEADMASTER Yearbook 1982 It has often been said that education is very much a partnership between teacher, parent and child; and certainly a source of great en- couragement for ail the staff at Saltus is the degree of parental involvement in the school. Occasionally, however, conflict will arise between teacher and parent and in analysing the situation afterwards it would appear that con- tributing to that conflict is the ambiguity inevitably existing between the two roles. In order to help parents belter understand the basis on which we reach some of our decisions I offer the following comment. One very obvious, initial distinction is that the function of a mother, especially the mother of a very young child, is unlimited, and she is potentially on duty twenty-four hours a day. By contract, the function of a teacher has clearly defined limits. The relationship between parent and child is also marked by a higher degree of intensity. Parents ha e, or should ha e, a noticeably stronger attachment to their child and e erything about him matters. By contrast, a teacher should be more detached, not so far as to be clinical and cold towards the child nor yet so close as to be emotionally in olved. but rather occupying a mid u ay position of detached con- cern, for only then is it possible to evaluate a child ' s progress realistically. It is not uncommon, nor is it a cause for concern, for parents to be irrational, using their minds in the service of their hearts, whereas a teacher reasons his or her actions on sound principles of learning. Inevitably, parents tend to be biased in favour of their child but it is im- portant that a teacher remain impartial, allow ing his or her skills to be equally accessible to all. Finally, there is ambiguity over what I would call strength of responsibility. Parents are concerned about one individual but a teacher must be concerned about the welfare of the whole group. It is an interesting thought that there is increasing pressure on teachers of young children to be maternal, w hilst there is also some pressure on parents to be instructional, for instance in preparing a very young child for school. Despite this, parents and teachers do have distinctive roles of which, as a father who treads the tight rope of having three sons in the school, 1 am onl too well aware. But the realisation of separate roles should not be a source of w orry despite occasional conflict , for we all ha o in common the same ultimate aim — the best possi- ble education for the children. 1 would conclude by repeating that the asi majoritv of our parents throughout the school ha e their supportive roles very clearly in view and thev ' make it possible for all the teachers to function to the best effect. 1 CAVENDISH PREPARATORY On behalf of my hroihers, I make this presentation to you in recognition of all you did for us in the first stage of educa- tion. You above all teachers made school fun and interesting, and got us started on the right track. We hope this little gift will remind you sometime of our gratitude ' ' . Eleven Years Service Mrs. Enid Hyland joined the Prep School Staff in 1971 , and has given sound educational grounding to ele en groups of boys who are working their way through the school from Prep 2 to Senior 5. Her policy of finding and praising a child ' s good points has had the effect of winning his affection and co-operation, enabling her to help him correct faults and weaknesses. Each child has been approached as an indi idual, yet a close spirit of Class group membership has also been fostered, and the children in her care ha e thri ed emotionally and academically. She will be missed by all — children, parents and the Staff. W e thank her for her loyal serxice and wish her happiness and well-deser ed rest. Welcome To Cavendish Jennie Beard (B.Ed) joins us from Paget Primary where she has been teaching for the last four years. Pre iously she taught at West Pembroke and at Whitbourne School. W ' orcs. England. Mrs. Beard will be replacing Mrs. E. Hyland. We wish her every happiness and success in her new post. 3 MRS. BACON ' S IB (5 - 6 year olds) Made a lot of whales A Whale of a Song!

When we were on the ship a robber came up to the ship with a big axe and cut the rope that held the ship to the Dock and later he struck again by cut- ting the anchor. Soon the ship was far out to sea. We sailed on Ibr days and days, still no sign of land. One day there was a big storm, the boat rocked to and fro. Land ahoy! Soon we will hit the reef and we did. Sirens roared, the ship was OK. There was a shriek ofexcite- ment but we still had a problem, we were stuck on a reel ' in the mid- dle of the sea half sunk and now a fleet of war-ships headed straight for us at great speed ready for attack and were stuck hopelessly. A huge whale came, it was Moby-Dick. 3-minutes later we were being attacked. Harpoons flew here and there, soon (he monster was dead. That fleet was getting closer and closer. That evening an anti- sub blew up the reef, our ship was afloat again. Soon we were rescued by another ship, it was an aircraft carrier. Our adventure was over. Simon Leighton 3M Jonah Long long ago there was a man named .Jonah who did not want to be a prophet and God told Jonah in a dream that he must go to Ninevah and Jonah said why couldn ' t God send someone else and so Jonah went to the port of Jaffa. So Jonah went on a ship that was going to Tarshish in Spain. Jonah went to sleep in the hold and a storm came up and all the passengers were on deck praying to their gods. The Captain went to Jonah and said get up Jonah and get up on deck and pray to your god and so Jonah prayed to God. God said jump overboard and when he told the captain he said that ' s against regulations but they threw him overboard. A big fish swallowed him. Jonah was feeling bad and said I wish I had went to Ninevah and God said okay and Jonah saw a light and so he went out smelling fishy and he was on a beach and so he walked to Ninevah and he told them that they were going to be destroyed and so he was taken before the king. So he said to the govenor have a proclamation made, they must go on a fast and feel sorry for themselves and Jonah sat on a stone. A tree grew and died. God said why kill a city.

Juhan Wheddon Age 7 After learning about the many kinds of pets available and how to care for them the boys wrote stories about their own pets. This was followed by a visit to the Animal Shelter where they saw two films about choosing and caring for a pet. The culmination of the project was a Pet Show, which was held at school one afternoon. 16 Mr. Ian Drummond gave recorder lessons to Class 3 boys this year. Some of his pupils entertained the school at assembly. Vegetables from our school garden (grown under Mr. Hopkin ' s supervision) were combined with those grown ui the Junior School and were awarded first place in the Primary Schools section at the Agricultural show. Miss Thompson ' s endemic tree seedlings won the National Trust Trophy, presented by the Deputy Governor. Carpeted Classrooms! A sale of fruit and nowers, organised by the Class Mothers, raised $363.50. The original intention was to carpet two sections of the Playroom, but since our request for fruit also mentioned the need for carpet, all the carpet needed was donated, in one case even laid professionalh free of charge. The money raised has been used to pay for laying one section of the Playroom, and for laying carpet tile donated by Mr. M. Drew in the Library and Class 2 rooms. This carpet will increase comfort during the winter and reduce noise level all the year round. W e are hoping to carpet the remaining upstairs rooms as further donations of the tile are offered. Little brothers... and little sisters hud fun too. The Heavy mob SPORTS DAY On Sports Day we had high jump and Colwyn Burchall came first and Keith Madeiros came second and Keith Simone came third.

Many mothers wondered whether they wanted their sons at school at 9 a.m. on a Saturday... Could they get up that early?... They do so enjoy the cartoons on the televi- sion and mum can they stay in bed!... Do these little boys really want to be at school 6 days a week? It soon became obvious that the answer was a big YES — the boys were up, dressed and ready to go without any nagging from mother on a Saturday; many fathers came regularly too. The first hour each Saturday was spent warming up and learning the many skills and techniques of the game. Vince Ingham, whose idea it was to have Saturday morning football, coached, and his enthusiasm throughout has made it an overwhelming success. The progress these small boys made is amazing but not totally surprising after hearing Vince encouraging, cheering and praising each and every move. Quickly his enthusiasm spread to the fathers who came along each Saturday and they too coached with much interest in each boy. In December we received another letter, this time inviting Mums to come along and play against their sons on a special Boxing Day football morning. Once again, the question arose... Do we want to go to school on Boxing Day? Once again the answer was YES with a large number of boys and their mothers, houseguests and neighbours turn- ing up and I might add a few fathers who dressed as mothers so as not to be left out and miss the fun. The game proved to be enormous fun and the mothers had to work very hard to hold their own. Happily, the score ended at 2 - 2. Everyone had refreshments and went home to enjoy the re- maining Christmas celebrations. In March a mini-league was organised with each team playing each other, the games spreading over 7 weeks. Each week the scores were closely watched on a special board in the Cavendish Hall and the excite- ment and team spirit from the boys was ter- rific. On the final Saturday morning, each team played each other followed by games bet- ween fathers, coaches and boys lasting 3 hours with not a sign of loss of enthusiasm or energy! It seemed the boys would have stayed all night had Vince been prepared to keep the games going! Mrs. Hopkins presented the medals and trophies to all the teams for their participation in the league. Victorious Yellow team ran around the field, their trophy held high, which brought a very happy year of football to an end. Parents sold refreshments to raise funds for equipment for next year ' s mini-league which we can guarantee to be a success after this superb first season. Our sincere thanks to Vince Ingham. By Mis.

Barton Simmerville The theme of this year ' s service was Gifts . The children were made aware of the many gifts which they lake for granted — healthy bodies, good homes, loving parents — and encouraged lo help those who are less foriunatc. Each Class worked to support a local charily and invited a represen- tative lo attend the service and receive their uifls. The school choir, directed by Mrs. Bacon, sang K oup of carols from ihe pulpii. The boys of IS wore cardboard ears and greasepaint whiskers to emphasise their sympathy for animals.

Adams, B.A. (Edinburgh) L.R.S.M. 27 AT LAST The Liberal Arts Wing of the Junior School Birth of a Dream Ten years ago, when Cavendish married into the Saltus family, the fact that every one of the influx of persons into the Saltus complex had found a place evoked more sounds of gratitude than cries of difficulty and deprivation. For some time, during the honeymoon, no-one felt in a position to mention the inadequacies of cramped conditions, and, in the tradition of all good Private Schools, work continued, undiminished and undeterred by the physical environment. Ambition was high, impressive goals were set, the curriculum became more sophisticated. While we still housed girls, the belief was fostered that, obviously, when they had grown out of our system, we would have more space. However, when the last two left in July 1978, the stark facts were revealed. We had a school of boys, with an ever increasing roll, a rapidly developing programme of activities, and no- where to carry them out. Music confliced with P.E. in the Hall. The P.E. had to move outside. 60 children at a time tried to change and shower in the changing room built for 24: — ( You ' ve got my sock! That ' s my vest. Take your foot out of my pants. ) At lunch time on rainy days, the increasing number of visiting music teachers was faced, for their lessons, either with a corner each of the Hall, or a choice of: — the Head Teacher ' s room, where the ' phone rang constantly in the wrong key; the Science Room, where pungent smells of recent experiments choked the atmosphere, and the players; the Art Room, where 90 children scurried continuously in and out of their classrooms beyond; or the cloakrooms, to the accompaniment of dripping taps and flushing toilets. Full marks to the one who found sanctuary in the P.E. cupboard! Art fared no better. In what was once the entrance hall for that wing, 30 boys per class, sweltered under the low ceiling, being stampeded by herds of changing classes whenever the period bell sounded, or, seeking ventilation, spent their lesson chasing after their paper masterpieces, which floated around the room on the welcome breeze, every time their owners left them to mix more paint. The honeymoon now being long since over, bitterness and frustration were sounded, and eventually reached the ears of Those in Command. Came the day when plans were invited for an addition to the Junior School, an extension to be called the Liberal Arts Wing. Eagerly sites were proposed, drawings submitted: — east of the gym, west above the .lunior rooms, north into the janitor ' s garden. Who cared, so long as we had a building?! Finally a decision was made. The starting date was set. Hopes ran high. Two boys, Reid Young and Kirk Marco held a private fair raising $100, the start of the Junior School Building l und, which was thereafter cnlhusiastically added lo by many sales and money-raising projects. THEN... the Senior School Hall was wrecked by fire. With a mixture of sympathy and frustration the Junior Department shrank down in whipped dejection and watched with envious resignation, the reconstruction of the Senior Hall, followed by the building of the Senior Gym. Years have passed. Staff have changed; others have aged! The curriculum has developed. Our little fimd has grown to over S6,000, bui alucs have diminished, and elsewhere iiioncN has become tight. Nobody believed the new Headmaster ' s third prediction, We ' ll be starting on your new building in November. Then, suddenly, 8.00 a.m. November 18th, 1981, over the brow of the driveway, the heavy thrum of the first payloader, the thrilling sounds of crunch and crash as, like a mechancial Shiva, it destroyed the cycle shed, the tool hut, and the water pipes! to make way for the new creation. Passing the old sheds Walls going. . . gone. For six months we have assumed an unnatural normalcy round the rubble and mess, through the din and dust, over the hammers and drills — determined to play our part during the growth of our dream child. By the time you all read this, the New Wing will be a well integrated, fully operational part of our unit. These thoughts and pictures are printed... lest we forget... The roof goes Before alteration ART AND CRAFTS Tearaway hy Martin DeSilva The Monsters Guy Hamshere J3L age 9 One day my two copilots and 1 were flying over the Amazon jungle when our plane caught on fire!! We jumped and our parachutes automatically opened and we landed safely in some long grass. We leaned against a small tree, when to our surprise the tree spoke to us! ! It told us to turn the knob above us and to go to the land of the monsters and get the green emerald from the king. We turned the knob and went in. There was a passageway leading down. It was damp and strange and yellow, green, red and blue lights shaped like monsters were on the walls. We went deeper and deeper, until we came to the land of the monsters!! Luckily we had swords, for we met our first monster. It was not a very friendly monster. William and James and I drew our swords and then I said, Attack! The monster fought like five hundred mad men put together. It had two heads, three powerful hands and two legs. One of his heads came off, then he ran away. 1 ga e a sigh of relief! We didn ' t get cut that much but we did get a lot of bruises. The next one we saw was about I mile away but this time we hid in some tall grass until it went by. We walked man ' many miles — we came to the palace! It was beautiful! Red, green, yellow, and blue jewels were studded in the gold wall!! We found a rope, and threw it over the wall. Then wc climbed over the wall. 1 quietly snuck up behind the guard and cut his head off!! Then we got into the palace. The monster king was in a huge room. We snatched ihc black emerald and ran out the door. As we ran we lashed our swords about. We jumped over the wall and ran to the stairs w ith monsters close behind us. We ran up the stairs and they tbllowed us. They were so close behind us that when I stopped and kicked the first one, he tumbled down and so did the others! We ga c the tree the emerald. He gave us three wishes as a reward, but that ' s another story. Murder On T he Orient F ' xpress Koy Brooke J7S The train slowly cased into the station and came to a halt. A crowd of well-dressed rich people boarded. Un-noticed, a man with one hand had gone into an unused part of the train and sat down. He was five feet ten, possibly six feet. He was registered as John Smith, a name too fake to be real. As the train pulled out of the station his mind went to work. An evil glint came over his eyes. Revenge! He put his hand on his hair and pulled. A rubber face slid off and a scarred and mutilated one lay beneath. He wanted revenge on thai man, who, twenty years ago shoved him on a track in front of a train. Which explains his hand and face. He slipped the mask on again, becoming .lohn Smith once more. Night fell, but Smith didn ' t eat. instead he went into the .Man ' s section, hid in a wardrobe and waited. The Man came in and went to sleep, satisfied after a good meal. Smith crept out, his eyes bloodshot, his face twisted into an insane, e il grin. Again and again the knife plunged to the hill, the victims coat red and wet. Smith ran out, dropping the knife as he did so. He threw his bloody clothes out the window , changed and relaxed. A high-pitched scream of terror resounded. Smith smiled. It had been discovered. A man rushed from room to room. The smile faded. A cop!! he thought. Detective Harry Owers had been on the train and found the weapon. Everyone was being questioned in the lounge. Except one. Owers went in search of — guess who?? He looked in Smith ' s compartment. No one. As he left, something caught his eye. A single drop of blood, glistening ' ike a ruby. Also, he found a little bit of bloody sock snagged on the window sill. Owers pieced it all together. All he needed was Smith. Everywhere was searched. Except the roof. A lone Smith sat up in the fading light, deep in thought. But already Owers was climbing up. Smith saw him as he came up and stood up to face his opponent . Suddenly, Owers ducked and hid his eyes. Smith whirled round and saw the gaping mouth of a tunnel rushing to meet him. His writhing body sped into the rocky canyon a thousand feet below . Owers slowly climbed back down the ladder.

The doctors decided that they would have to operate. So, against his will, Ben was led into the operating room. He was almost asleep because of drugs. When he flet a searing pain tearing through his body, he winced and screamed, but with no effect. He felt the pain growing and growing, till he finally let out a final scream, and fell into total darkeness. Ben Smith was now totally blind.

Pete Terris, an American explorer, focused his movie camera and proceeded to film this natural effort of Mother Nature to sink ships. Example: Titanic. Pete climbed up the rocky crevasse with a lot of effort. Finding a clear space he proceeded to set up camp. Pete was trying to be the first person to spend two whole months in the Antartic (and live!). In a few hours Pete was eating a supper of beans and rice. He looked above him. A huge piece of ice loomed over him. If that piece fell... he though to himself. But he put it into a corner of his mind. In one way he was glad it was there, it helped keep out the wind. It was still light when he went to bed. I ' ll hardly ever get any sleep like this. But he was wrong. In a matter of minutes Pete was fast asleep, tired out from the day ' s events.

By: Scott Pearman May 7th, 1982 30 From the Pottery Club How The Unicorn Got His Horn The sleek white horse galloped on the flat barren plain. His gleaming white mane shined in the moonlight. His slender neck burned as his head raised and he saw drifting in the howling winds, a large gleaming silver disc. As if guided by some mysterious hand the silver disc floated down, down, down to the ground and rested near lo the horse. The horse, awstruck with amazement, trotted towards the disc. There was a flash of light and then there was silence, for standing near the horse stood a small green man cloaked in velvet garments. The alien used his telepathic powers to speak to the horse. He announced that the horse would help him in his conquest for Mt. Verius which contained fuel for his IFO . They started on their long trek to the Mountain of Fire which was the name for all volcanoes in the mythical times. When they arrived there, the alien climbed to the top of the volcano. He took out a three-dimensional square and threw it into the volcano. The square sucked up the lava and compressed it into itself. The square jumped back into its master ' s hands when its job was done, the alien turned and started back down the hill. Just as he was about halfway down the slope the volcano erupted! Stunned by the explosion the alien lay on the ground unable to move. The white horse, reacting quickly, raced for the alien and scoojied him up before the lava could reach him. When they had f inished ref uelling the disc the alien gave the horse a piece of solid lava twisted to a point to make a horn. The alien placed the horn just above the horse ' s head and it shone with a gleaming yellow. The white horse was no longer a horse, he was a unicorn. ♦identified F lying Object. „ Ben Dyer J6A A Tall Stor Help! shouted Guy.

The Space Shuttle Nevada soared into the sky, like a great white bird. The year is 1991, there ha e been two Space Shuttles made since the Columba. At Houston, General Tarkin was very worried. The Space Shuttle Enterprise, which was armed with Nuclear Warheads, had zoomed into space to intercept the Ne ada. The Nevada was headed straight for Palm Springs Missile Base. The space experts had failed to contact the Ne ada. but they did get a visual in the cockpit, but the pilots were dead. The Nevada completely devastated the Palm Springs Power Station and all the lights went dead. Fights broke out everywhere in the base. E erybod wanted to kill his best friend. Only one man was not affected. His name was Corporal John Stubbs. He was said to be psychic. He radioed General Tarkin and told him this was an emergency code red, sector blue. In a few minutes they got there. When they arri ed they found the arms stores being looted, and the food supplies being stolen. General Tarkin and his men had torches attached to their helmets, and they were armed with tranquilizer guns.

Noel Capewell J6A The Cool Escape Greg Thompson was one of the many prisoners at Abel Prison. He spent his days in the meat freezer putting in and taking out, enormous chunks of meat. Roll call! shouted the officer. Thompson! Here, sir. Bates! Here, sir! etc. That night Thompson sat in bed thinking, his head straining for new ideas. Finally, one came to his head. Dawn found the prisoners the next morning eating breakfast. An hour later they were each working busily at their own job. Today Thompson would be by himself packing the freezer with cold meat, but this he didn ' t do. Slowly and carefully he pushed the huge ice blocks to a kitchen nearby, prying them up on top of each other. Then came the tense moment. He climbed up on the blocks and slowly opened a window high above. It creaked, but all of a sudden a piece of wood splintered off and hit the bushes below. A guard The Artists at work turned to find a mouse scurrying across the field. What relief Thompson felt. Now the crutial part came, he shpped underneath the hole and ran as fast as he could go, silently. Detectives stood around a pool of water the next day and soon figured the escape.

Sculpture by Ewan Cheyne My Most Precious Possession Every day when I get home from school I see my grandfather ' s war medals shining on the wall. They are four brass stars with a different meaning on each. They all dangle off a ribbon with coloured stripes. They rest on a soft material in a cedar case. Every Saturday morning the first thing I do after I wake up is take them off the wall and polish them. I try not to get polish on the stripes, which is very difficult. After the polish dries I wipe it off with a cloth. After they are spotless I hang them back up. I like to sit down and watch them, they always bring back memories of my grandfather. He always used to tell me how he earn- ed them. He told me a few years ago before he died that I was to have them when he died. I will never disrespect them. Ian Finnerty J7A 32 Bermuda is ...

As long as you don ' t buy that snake, rephed his mother. Bye, said Tom and off he went. He got there soon. And he went into the pet shop. When he came out he had an octopus in a big red box that had fragile written all over it. As soon as he got home he showed his mother. She said: Where are you going to keep it? ' Names ' by Sean Ditnleavy He answered, In the water tank. And what are you going to feed it on? she asked. On gold fish, he answered. His mother fainted. So Tom put it in the water tank, and named it Gus. Ten weeks later they ran out of water. But we had rain nearly all of the days of the week, said Tom ' s mother. They decided to look at the Octopus. They looked and saw a great big fat octopus eating gold fish. So they built a new water tank and got water out of that. Ben Lucas J4Z Charlie The Karate Mouse One day Charlie the karate mouse was in his hole in the church listening to the people sing. It was a Cathedral. The music made him fall asleep. While he was asleep a cat crawled up to his hole. It was a marmalade cat. It meowed at Charles, at once he woke up. He jumped out of bed half asleep, walked to the door and said: Who ' s there? Me, Tom, the fat cat. Tom, he said, I haven ' t seen you in years. Well, let me open the big door. By then Charlie was fully awake. Do you still know those karate kicks I taught you? Do you want to learn some more? No, Tom said, I was just passing by and I remembered you so I thought I ' d just drop in for a minute or two. We might meet agains. Adios, Amigo!

When I was given the chance to become strong, my whole appearance changed. I now look like a freaked-out person. My ears are as big as an elephant ' s but they do enable me to fly. A tail also grew and I now take a size ninety-six show and weigh two metric tons. Probably you ' re wondering how I acquired this size and strength. Well, it happened sixteen or more years ago in Dublin. As I was pumping water in my kitchen a leprecaum jumped, or rather got pumped out! I ' ll give you one wish, he said an Irish tone. Of course my wish was to be strong. Now I ' m going to tell you about one of my adventures. It was a cold day in Switzerland. My servant and I resolved to go on a plea- sant snow ride. Suddenly, a thundering avalanche started. Luckily we were unharmed, although there was something slightly wrong! We were stuck between the Alps and the snow from the avalanche, so 1 decided to lift the Alps! I know it sounds impossible, but I raised them and told my astonished servant to drive through. He did so and then 1 lowered the mountains gently and we continued our ride...

Canon Sir, Honoured Guests, I.adics and Gentlemen, Boys and girls. When Mr. Ming asked me to speak about Heritage, I knew that I didn ' t know enough about this impor- tant subject all by myself , so with the help of my classmates, and the guidance and en- couragement of our teacher, Mrs. Lilian Williams, 1 would like to tell you about — THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ON OUR HERITAGE — PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, BY CLASS J6W — SALTUS JUNIOR SCHOOL. May 24th is an exciting day because it ' s a holiday to celebrate our Heritage with parades, music, songs, food and fun! Throughout May, many special activities have taken place to direct our attention to our past History, make us aware of our pre- sent good fortune to be Bermudians and help us to see our responsibility to perserve all that ' s good about our Heritage for the future. The first people to inhabit our island were the survivors of the Sea Venture. From that time, our past involved black and white peo- ple from Africa, The West Indies, The Azores, U.S.A., Canada and England who lived and struggled together to form our country, Bermuda. There were free men, slaves, soldiers, merchants, craftsmen and ordinary people. On Heritage Day, we remember tham all and the history they created. All round us are buildings and places that remind us of our past... The Museums, treasure houses of information, where we can browse and transport ourselves back in time to sea faring days of trading, privateer- ing, whaling and sailing. Historic Buildings in St. Georges... The gracious old homes of Tucker House, Camden and Verdmont... To visit these is to open a time capsule and relive the past as a rich man or a slave. The Forts, built by the early settlers as a protec- tion against invaders, with their cannons rusted into place, their grey walls and turrets within which rest interesting relics and ex- hibits to remind us of the hfe st ' lc of our ancestors. Such things remind us of our glorious past... but what makes Bermuda so special to us NOW? What is our present Heritage? To us this is the most exciting part because we are living it and experiencing it INOW, for ourselves. If we kept our own Bermuda ersion of the Guiness Book of Records — these arc some of the things we ' d write in it. Ours is one of the tiniest countries in the world — with the most beauty for the smallest land mass. Every visitor admires our sparkling w hiic rooftops, unique to Bermuda. Our coral sands are surrounded by the cleanest seas. and coral reefs adorned in breath taking beauty. We can travel under the smallest drawbridge in the world or visit the oldest church in the Western Hemisphere. If you enjoy the outdoor life, one of the world ' s kindest climates enables you to par- ticipate in tennis, water skiing, surf boar- ding or golfing. Who could forget that we have more golf courses per square mile than any other place on earth? Is sailing your sport? Enjoy an afternoon in a Bermuda fit- ted dinghy — which boasts more sail for its size than any other sailboats! The only CAHOWS in existence nest here and e en the LONGTAILS know that the best mating place is Bermuda! On weekdays, some of the largest cruisers dock along Front Street and within minutes tourists with the palest knees and biggest cameras in ade Hamilton ' s shops and spend the most money in the least time in some of the best shops in the world! Then they hop on the noisiest bikes and wobble their way to enjo ' the pleasures of the most beautiful beaches I Bermuda is perhaps the only count r where the people pay rent with a Pepper- corn, Beat the Retreat and Balance the Budget ! Anotiicr record wc hold is that we are NOT at . R. In the past we ' e had riots and grow ing pains, but we are working out our problems, and black and w hite are lear- ning to li e together in mutual respect. Our people are a good example to alt those coun- tries of the world who are now in contlici. The most important record we hold, however, is our reputation of being the friendliest people in the world. Now let us think about the future. What can we ten year olds do to ensure that Ber- muda ' s future heritage is even better than its past or present? There is much we can do... Being polite and friendly to visitors will make them want to return here. We can become in ol ed in our churches and organisations which show that we care about our neighbours, our history and our surroundings. It is so important to conser e our few re- maining open spaces and to preser e our wild life for future generations. If ail the spaces are swallowed up by buildings, where will our children tly their Bermuda Kites at Easter? Ai school we must work hard so that we are well educated and qualified to take our part in running our island in the future. ■ ' es. Bermuda has grow n in so many ways since the tirst landing of Sir George Soniers in 1609, but now we must all. adults and children, do our part so that it will continue to propser and show its beauty for future generations. THKN. ii really will deser e its name. PAR.ADISE ISLAND . 35 Alistair Smith In September 1981, the Junior School returned after the holidays to hear the sad news that, once again, they had lost one of their members. It was with grief and shock that we learned this year that Alistair Smith, not quite nine years old, and from J4L, had died in England during the holiday. A tall, sensitive child, Alistair is remembered by his friends as an even-tempered, thoroughly nice-natured boy, who tried hard never to hurt anyone ' s feelings. He had an artless innocence, an unsophisticated sincerity and a quiet sense of humour. He enjoyed games, especially football, hockey and baseball; and was fascinated by animals, particularly bugs and frogs recalls one friend with a smile. He was always studying them. Alistair was not a loud or gregarious child, not a boy whom one would see dashing round the school becoming in- volved in petty contests or arguments; but, gentle, somewhat reserved, and often absorbed with his own thoughts, he had his own very special place in the hearts of his schoolmates. We still remember him; we still miss him from our midst. Our thoughts and sympathies still go out to his family. We hope that time is gradually easing the sense of loss, and will leave only the happiest and proudest of memories. 36 ACTIVITIES OF THE JUNIOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE OF 25 For the Handicapped Childre n 1981 - 1982 Committee of 25 winners Front row: Guy Hamshere, Mark Campbell, Christian Dunleavy, Jeremy Whittle, Sean Dunleavy.

Facts Figures Christmas, 1981 — Diary Competition On December 10th, Mr. McPhee prsented a cheque for $3,787.50 to Don Evans, Chairman of the Committee of 25. This sum was raised by over 250 pupils from the Junior and Senior Departments, and the following boys were awarded book tokens as prizes for their outstanding efforts: — Ben Judah, Christopher Bryan, Mark Campbell, Guy Hamshere, Christian Dunleavy, Sean Dunleavy, James Robinson. Mark Nash — 3rd Prize Malcolm Raynor — 2nd Prize Jeremy Whittle — 1st Prize Summer, 1982 Junior members participated in an evening of music and poetry in the Senior School Hall on Friday, June 11th. Guest artists were Philip Burrin (Violin), Ian Drummond (Clarinet). At the end of the evening a collection was made, totalling $811.11. GRAND TOTAL 1981 — 1982 $4,598.61. Our Aims Are Twofold: — a) to raise funds. b) to develop a compassionate attitude towards all handicapped people. With the following thoughts and feelings expressed by junior Members, we at Saltus re-affirm our interest in helping to ease the burden of handicapped children and pledge our tuture support tor the work of the Committee of 25. Lilian Williams II you sell lags or diaries or take part in a fund raising event, you im- mediately become a member of the Junior Arm. I think that ' s grcall I ' ve helped raise money lo buy wheel chairs and equipment for the pool and I will continue to help lor as long as 1 am able lo. When I read or hear about people with handicaps I pray for them. A big aim of ours is lo encourage more and more boys lo become members. Peter Durhagcr lo me, helping the handicapped Is rewarding — nol because I ' ve received any prizes for my efforts but because of the joy and pride I feel when I ' ve helped a person in need. Drew Douglas The electric wheelchair is a super in cniion. It allows people to zoom around and go up hills and do things they couldn ' t do before. In my school most boys are members of the Committee of 25 and we have raised funds to buy wheelchairs by selling diaries, tags, cards and collecting toys. Recently we gave a concert and it made a lot of money. We were pleased with ourselves. Graham Foster We can run and move uiihout difficulty but handicapped people can ' t. They have a hard time getting into buildings in their wheelchairs, getting baths and showers. Everyone should help to make their lives happier. We shouldn ' t presume that somebody else is going to take care of them. If everyone said Why should I care? then perhaps they wouldn ' t be happy and I like to see everyone hap- py. Roger Grant 1 feel that ev erybody should gi e up some of his time to help others who cannot do what we can. , , , „ , Ashley Redmond The Committee of 25 is a ery special committee and 1 am glad to be in the Junior Arm. . , „ Andreu Pettit I ' m proud to say that 1 helped to buy Clyde Sto ell a wheelchair.

Just try it and you ' ll feel good! Roy Brooke We ha e had concerts, bake sales, bike rides, book sales and all sorts of other activities to raise money for disabled children.

This year substantial profits have been made approximately as follows: Hot dogs $ 850.00 Hot lunches (Easter term) $ 800.00 Class Donut Sales $1900.00 Sports Day Refreshments $ 250.00 Approximate Total $3800.00 From last year ' s proceeds some very sophisticated stage lighting has been purchased at a landed cost of $2290 and which is currently much appreciated by the Senior School! ! Out of this year ' s earnings a new stove was purchased in late January for the Junior kitchen at a cost of some $400.00. Currently, some sturdy play-ground equipment suitable for the Junior boys is on order and will hopefully be here by September 1982.

The swim team competed in the inter-school event at Warwick Academy and performed magnificently against 10 other schools with wins in 8 events, 2nd places in 3 events, 3rd places in 3 and 4th places in 2 events. In fact, no boy placed lower than 4th. The team made a clean sweep a week later in the relay meet by winning every one of the nine events for boys. With Saltus acquiring its own pool we hope to continue our strong showing in years to come. In a move to develop more continuity in the school soccer team, two boys from J 5 were selected as pan of the squad. The ex- perience gained by the younger boys should be of benefit to future teams. The si -a-side competitions for ' A ' and ' B ' teams were close affairs with many results decided on the number of corner kicks gained when teams were drawn on goals. In the ' A ' com- petition Saltus lost to Mt. St. Agnes 1-0, lost to Dellwood 2-0 but beat West Pembroke on corners. Dellwood qualified for the finals by beating MSA in a replay, again on corners. The ' B ' team showed great spirit and beat MSA 2-1, lost 1-0 to Dellwood and beat West Pembroke 1-0. Our team forced a replay to decided on finalists but lost 2-0 to Dellwood. The teams then combined for the 1 1 a side competition but had only moderate success against the schoos in our one and did not progress to the quarter finals. The inter-school cross country event held at Ocean View Golf Course is always a tough event with most schools participating. Saltus entered a Senior team and two Junior teams but despite plenty of enthusiasm our boys were out classed by excellent winning teams from Elliott (Junior race) and Victor f ' ' ' .- Saltus tension? Laurel and Hardv? Scott (Seniors). I hc popularit of this e ent is doomonstrated by the number of com- petitors — 183 finishers in the Junior race and 122 in the Senior event. In the zone track and field meet our boys qualified for the finals in 10 e ents b plac- ing 1st or 2nd. At the luial meet we collected three third place ribbons, all in field e ents. Cricket is popular in the six-a-side format but faces problems of shortage of time both for coaching and competition. Ho e er we tielded A and ' B ' teams and they com- peted against Prospect Primary. Ellioii. ' ictor Scott with the Dellwood games siill to be played. Although the games were exciting and ery worthwhile we ha e not secured a win in this competition. Our inter-house sports involve a lot of boys in arious activities. gi ing them aluable competitive experiences with their peers. Most competitions are set up so that an equal number of bo s from each year 39 Yes sir, yes sir, thiee bags full. Spectating: but where is the race? It says here... At the finish level are included in teams. Six-a-side soccer was played at Junior, and Senior levels with each house entering ' A ' and ' B ' teams. The Juniors (J4 and J5) played 12 games during lunch hours and Darrell emerged as winners. Seniors (J6 and J7) played a similar competition and Watl- ington captured the title. Eleven-a-side soccer saw Saltus beat Watlington in a replay after a drawn game and Butter field beat Darrell. The final between Saltus and Butterfield was a scoreless draw but a replay saw Butterfield win 3-0. The inter-house cross country event drew almost as many parent spectators as par- ticipants due to the guest appearances of in- ternational runners who were competing in Bermuda. Olympic Gold and Silver medallist Frank Shorter was on hand to see course records set by Jason Harvey in the junior race and Andre Zanol in the senior event. Shorter acted as timekeeper then was pleased to present prizes to the better run- ners and shields to Darrell (junior cham- pions) and Butterfield (senior champions). Ironically, the overall championship, based on total points in both races, was won by Watlington who placed second team in each event. Inter-House Floor Hockey was again a popular competition with 32 teams par- ticipating in a four-a-side knock out com- petition. Some hectic and often emotional games boiled down to a final between But- terfield 2 team and SaUus 8 with Butter- field emerging as 4-2 winners. Track and Field in school revolves around the 5 Star Award Scheme which enables boys of various ages to earn points for each event attempted and awards are then given based on accumulated points in 3 events. This year saw 8 boys achieve the elusive 5 star award, 22 boys reach 4 star, 80 earned 3 star, 72 earned 2 star and 28 reach 1 star (total 21 1 boys). The scheme also served as a guideline for selecting competitors for Sports Day when every boy competes in at least one event — unless medically excused. Sports Day was dominated by a strong Watlington team with almost every boy in- volved in at least one of the 53 events. Parental support was excellent, officiating by teachers and parents first class and en- thusiasm by the boys at a high level. Jason Harvey (Darrell) was the Junior Champion and Challis Lee (Butterfield) the Senior Champion and Victor Ludorum. Relief from exams was found by the boys watching the inter-house Softball competi- tion. The Junior competition saw Butter- field beat Watlington and Saltus beat Dar- rell. In the Junior final Butterfield beat Saltus 8-6 in a skilful game. The Senior games resulted in wins for Butterfield against Darrell and Saltus against Watl- ington. The final resulted in Saltus beating Butterfield 2-0. Overall House champions in Junior School sport were Watlington. Again, our boys demonstrated their sportsmanship by competing at various levels and accepting either victory or defeat with dignity. 40 41 GOOD EVENING, LESSER MORTALS... ... Oh! are those dratted boys slouching and sniggering at me again!? Really, they didn ' t even like my new Chrome Wig with Pur- ple Dots!! Here I go to the trouble of gracing their school with my new dress, I demonstrate my superb RE teaching tactics and they DON ' T EVEN KNEEL BEFORE ME!! Hump! They ought to respect me! The person who thought I was in General Hospital hasn ' t received her punishment, but I have More Important Things at hand. But now for my opinon of the show. It was good fun, bossing everyone around and being headmaster, (sic) although there were lots of lines to learn. Sit up straight! Class dismissed. j y grooke J7S (Alias Commander Silkie) You ' ll never be a perfect golfer with square golf balls! Just a typical Thursday afternoon at Belmont.

Why, my boys learn so fast, they ' re out of sight before I reach the first tee! Anyway, I find it an easy task to teach people science. It is a fascinating subject. I remember once one boy thought it was so fascinating he snored through the whole lesson! My library is full of interesting books, so interesting in fact that people come from miles around to read them. So! That ' s what that Arab was doing the other day — reading my books! Oh no! Thursday afternoon again — time for those new golf club members to putter around.

We had never tackled a revue before and the audience seemed to enjoy the change. We certainly did. We have been very busy chorally since last .September, a selected group of boys singing on various occasions at the Bermuda Cathedral, once for the Assize Service and once for the Youth Heritage Service. Last November we presented a programme in the Cathedral Hall which helped to raise nine hundred dollars for the church ' s music, and recently we gave a concert for the Committee of 25 for Handicapped Children, where we collected over eight hun- dred dollars. I would like to thank Lady F osnett, Antoinette Davis and Ian Drummond for all the time they have given up this year to acconi- pany the choir. Although the Theory results of the Royal Schools of Music ex- aminations have been good this year, with nearly seventy passes, the practical results have not. Hopefully with many boys receiving ex- pert tuition in woodwind studies from Mr. Drummond, results will improve in this area at least. The Saltus Concert Society presented The Saint .lolin Passion by J.S. Bach on Palm Sunday. This great work had never bel ' ore been performed in Bermuda, and it is so complex, that four soloists had to be imported from the States. Although this was expensive, no financial losses were sustained due to the wonderful support we received from the community as a whole. Next year the Society plans another first for the island — The Mass in B Minor also by Bach, and probably the greatest choral work ever written. I am looking forward to moving into the music room in the new Arts Block. This will make life more pleasant and easier not only for members of the Music Department but also for the P.E. Depart- ment. For the last twelve years we have been sharing the Junior School Hall — disastrous on a rainy day with two classes seeking ac- commodations! However all that is now at an end though Mr. Beasley will be studying Renoir below to the strains of Ra el from above. We are all very happy!

In response to some of the suggestions put forward last year, we hope this year to include in the curriculum the occa- sional outing, and swimming. The following are some of last year ' s thoughts on Summer School: — The actual Summer School day starts at 9.00 and ends at 12.00. Lessons change each 55 minutes, with a 20 minute break at 10.50. Before break we have EngUsh and Maths. After 1 1 .00 we have activities. Every three days the activities change to different subjects such as Drama, Art, Gymnastics and Games. They are run by Mr. Adams, Mrs. Latter, Miss Wilkie and Mr. Sutherland. I think this year ' s Summer School was very well organised. Kevin Gunther SS Class 4 I like doing Maths and English. We work in workbooks. After recess you may do Drama, Art, Games or Gymnastics. My favourite is Drama. They sell popsicles and Harvest Bars at recess. There is nothing I don ' t like about Summer School, but I wish we could have done more spelling. Christopher Garrod SS Class 2 I like doing work in the English workbook, because English is one of my favourite subjects. Comprehension is also one of my favourite subjects, and I also like doing hand- writing. I like doing P.E. in the Hall and Games on the field. I love the Zooms and the Harvest Bars, and the woodwork. I don ' t really like Maths though. 1 wish we could have gone on outings. Bobby Powers SS Class 2 46 JUNIOR SCHOOL CLUBS 1981-1982 Drama Club This year, drama club was successful in producing our Christmas Play. All of the members of the group who par- ticipated, did an excellent job in the production of the Assaltus Revue. Many hours were spent rehearsing for the show. When the Revue was over we settled down to our usual ses- sions of Drama Club. In Drama Club we go over the basics of acting. Each Thursday we meet at the Hall for an hour after school to have our club, in which Mr. Adams combines work and fun. We act out plays that we have created and we score points for our control, ingenuity, and imagination. None of this could have been made possible without the guidance of our patient and understanding teacher, Mr. Adams. C. Leach, S. Dunleavy, B. Dyer J6A The Junior Golf Club and Mr. Mrs. Williams.

Lever Geology Lecture Today Mr. Brewer came to our school to give a lecture about earthquakes, volcanoes, rocks and minerals plus other things about geology. He gave the lecture to our class: J6A, and the other class: J6W. When he came, he first showed us a flat block that was split in two and he rubbed them together. It was to show that in an earthquake the earth cracks (not in two) and the two sides rub together causing friction and it releases energy in doing so. Then he showed us the earth on a plastic circle and it showed the crust which is the surface of the earth, the man- tle which is made up of rock, the outer core which is made up of iron and nickel and then the inner core which is also made up of iron and nickel. After all that he talked about loads of things. He said that the biggest earthquake measured 8.9 magnitude on the rictor scale. He talked about tidal waves and how they could be caused by earthquakes. He also said that after an earthquake there might be other small ones or an even bigger one. After the lecture we got to see readings from a seismograph and rocks of all sorts. Timothy Ma J6A Well, that about mops up this section.

It is a tradition based on the right ideals of the way games should be played; it is also built on reasonable success in traditional sports. Our successes vary con- siderably from year to year; this is to be expected in any school and is acceptable providing the ideals are maintained. Success in a material way has come in the less traditional sports of basketball and volley- ball, and this is especially so at Junior level. This is due, in no small ex- tent, to the availability of splended gymnasium facilities. 1 feel that in years to come we will see even more clearly the wisdom of the trustees in building such a facility. Our sports programme is a very varied one and is based on the idea that it will help boys to find a sport that suits them after leaving school. The amount of sport that Saltus boys are involved in at inter-mural level in colleges and universities must certainly show the wisdom of the idea. Thus we are maintaining and building on tradition. To say that there are no problems would be an untruth. Yet troublesome in- cidents, though they may seem important at the time, are, in fact, very small when seen in perspective. A very bright spot this year has been the very active participation of a group of mothers in our sports programme, as taxi-drivers, vocal spectators, and superb organizers in the feeding of players. I do hope they are setting a tradition that will continue to improve. I would like to cite an example that perhaps shows that the Saltus sports boy continues the sort of traditions I have alluded to. After a recent 24-hour basketball marathon to raise money for a forthcom- ing tour, the boys were requested to return within 48 hours of finishing to take part in an Old Boy v School basketball match. That they did so says a lot for them — that they did so without moaning says even more. The Old Boys ' involvement in the school continues to increase. They were victorious in soccer, volleyball, and basketball; the school managed to salvage some success with a draw in the cricket practice. It is always a pleasure to have back in the sports arena those boys who brought pride to the School in their day, and it is hoped that these competitions continue to increase in number and prestige. In closing I would like to thank all of the staff who have helped in the sports programme and the Old Boys who have helped at events such as Sports Day. I am sure that all concerned with sport in the school want no more than to keep the Saltus traditions alive and well. 51 SOCCER 1st XI Without a doubt this has been the most disappointing season in many years. With only three of last year ' s successful side returning, and without a recognized defender or goalkeeper the side was forced to battle thoughout the season. Two draws were the best we were able to muster from a seven game season. Nevertheless the majority of this team are available again next season and with the experience gained from this season coupled with some talented young players coming in we are hopeful for a successful campaign next year. Vincent Chaves did a fine job as captain in a job that was difficult at many times, and all of the players deserve con- gratulations for showing excellent spirit and application throughout. Colours: New: Patterson, Mouchette, Jones, Smith, Symons, Cooper, Soares, Moniz, WilHams. Re-awarded: Chaves, Harvey, Bean, Handsley. Troy Harvey and Vincent Chaves were selected to the East AU-Star Team. Intermediate A fairly successful season, there is considerable talent in this team and with a little more maturity they could do well in future years. Mr. Morrison did an excellent job of blending the side together into a working unit. Roger Amott did a fine job as this season ' s captain. Junior Our most successful season for some years. Under the guidance of Messrs. Palmer and Durrant, the teams showed considerable effort and enthusiasm all season, and their skill level improved game by game. Their most notable victory was that over the strong Sandys Secondary team in the cup. Team captain was John Ingham who did an excellent job on and off the field. The inter-house competition was once again a hard fought affair: Watlington won the junior section, and Darrell finish- ed the senior section as undefeated champions. m Senior XI Front Row: Moniz, Mouchette, Chaves (Capt.), Smith, Bean.

If we exclude the friendly game against the Bermuda College the team scored 75 points in the league with 42 against; 39 of those 42 Under 17 Whitney Seven ' A ' Team Front Row: Cooper, Bryan (Capt.), Mouchette. Second Row: Scaff, Joblin, Pearson, Lema. points were scored by the league winners M.S. A. which is an indica- tion of how strong a team M.S. A. had this year. Our main problem was not being able to fmd a suitable scrum half until late into the season. This greatly hampered the team ' s ability to attack the opposition from the back line. We tried out four different scrum halves until we were able to come up with the best half back combination. It was ironic that our best choice of scrum half was unavailable for the final league game against M.S. A. in a game that might have enabled us to share, or even win the league. It is often said that a team is only as good as its Captain and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nick Jones for doing an excellent job. His enthusiasm and peronalily quickly made itself known as he was able to draw on his rugby playing experience at Millfield School to help bring the boys together as a team. Nick awarded cups for the most valuable player (won by Patrick Bryan) and the most improved player (won by Peter Stephens). This is an example and tradition that I trust we can continue. I would also like to thank Mr. Durrant for the time he gave up in helping to coach, to the referees from the B.R.F.U. and of course to the 29 boys who tried to give Saltus a successful first XV. Coming 2nd in the league to M.S. A. must teach us a lesson. Even though we started training on December 1st well before the season started, the majority of boys still lacked the real fitness required to play the game well. Teamwork combined with mobility around the field is the essence of the game. This can only come about from a determin- ed disciplined effort from all of the boys concerned. We will all try just that bit harder for success next year. V. Evans Under 17 Whitney Sevens ' B ' Team Front Row: Pearse, McKittrick (Capt.), Harvey.

Senior The senior side produced their best performances of recent years. The team, most of whom will be returning next year, defeated Whitney (twice), St. Georges, and Robert Crawford; and lost to Chaffee, M.S. A. and Warwick Academy. Their best game was probably against Whitney in the league when they played to as high a standard as has ever been played here. Gregg Scaff did an excellent job as captain; as did Robin Hamill who took over in his absence. Robin Hamill, Gregg Scaff and Gareth Cooper were all selected for the West All-Star side. Colours: New: Van Beelen, Swift, Cooper, Moniz, Williams, Pedro, Hamill. Re-awarded: Scaff, Chaves. Junior Our Junior side had a very successful season, defeating Whitney, Crawford, Warwick Sec. and Mount St. Agnes in the league, and losing to Berkeley, Warwick Academy and Chaffee. In the island tournament they were drawn against the three teams they had lost to and beat all three, defeating Chaffee in the final. Their success is particularly noteworthy because of the time they willingly gave up at weekends and evenings for practice. Mark Mansi did a fine job as captain both on and off the court. House Matches The inter house games were played at a very high standard. At senior level the league finished in a three-way tie for first place. After a play-off Butterfield emerged as worthy cham- pions. At junior level Watlington defeated all-comers to win their section. BADMINTON In the inter-school tournament John Johnston kept up his winning record as he convincingly won the senior title. 54 VOLLEYBALL This has been an extremely successful year for our volleyball teams. With only two senior players remaining from last year ' s extremely successful side early season predictions did not look too hopeful. However, due to characteristic hard work and concentrated effort the seniors finished second in the league. In the tournament they defeated Warwick Academy and Chaffee, and lost to M.S. A. and Northlands. Their performance against Chaffee was perhaps most noteworthy as at one stage they were losing 3-14, but rallied splendly to win 16-14. Michael Moniz did a fine job as captain, both on and off the court. Colours: Re-awarded: Chaves, Williams. New: Moniz, Hamill, Cooper, Fisher, Benevides, McKit- trick. At junior level we dominated both league and tournament. Junior Volleyball Front Row: Stubbs, Klein, Dunn, Young, Smith, Morris. Second Row: Mansi, Mr. J. Beard (Coach), Bacon (Capt.). Senior Volleyball Front Row: Van Beelen, Hamill, Moniz (Capt.), Fisher. Second Row: Benevides, Chaves, Cooper, Williams, Mr. J. Beard (Coach), The players put in a lot of hard work and got the deserved results. The level of skill achieved by these boys bodes very well for the f uture. It is some years since wc have had juniors able to spike with ferocity over a senior net. Marc Bacon ogranized this team well, and played a very good captain ' s role. Inter-hou.se The competition at inter-house level was once again exciting and of a reasonably high standard. Eventual senior winners were: Butterfield and Darrell, and juniors: Wailingion. CROSS-COUNTRY In the inter-school meet our seniors did exceptionally well finishing in second place overall. Kevin Pearson showed his class by winning the race by a very emphatic margin. Inter-house At inter-house level Butterfield won the senior and the in- termediate section, and Darrell the junior. Kevin Pearson was the senior champion, Marco Zanol the intermediate, and Jonathon Himsworth the junior.

There were some fine individual performances during the season notably Vincent Chaves ' 73 against St. George ' s, and Patrick Bean ' s 46 not out against Whitney as he batted throughout the innings to ensure a hard earned draw. Chaves and Bean together with Troy Harvey and Raynard Smith also did most of the bowling and on the whole performed creditably. However, cricket is a team game and there is more to it than in- dividual batting and bowling performance. It is also a ' thinking man ' s ' game which requires application and co-operation by members of the team to support whichever individual is at the centre of action at a particular time. Without this reahsation no team will be very successful.

Palmer Junior Cricket This has been one of the most promising year ' s to date. A very young junior side has trained, worked and played hard together as a team, and not as a group of individuals. Mistakes made in a game were worked on with vigour and enthusiasm in the next training ses- sion. They lost four games, won one and tied one. It is to their credit that they batted through the allotted overs in all but one game. The success of the side was most evident in the final game against a strong Berkeley side, when we tied with them and were most unlucky not to win. Andrew Clarke did a splendid job as captain, and was well sup- ported by all the team. My sincere thanks to both Captains and my fellow coaches for their support, hard work and determination throughout the 1981-82 Sports season at Saltus. J.

The pool was financed by the Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association and we get first use of it. It is a 25 metre pool that will be used for meets, water polo and life- saving as well as teaching. This splendid example of school and community co-operation should prove to be an excellent facility for all concerned. We once again won the inter-school swim meet in convincing style; winning all the age group sections. As a result of our success, all the team were selected to represent the East of the island in an All-Star meet - which they went on to win. Scaff and Morbey represented Bermuda in the CONCACAF tournament in Cuba. Inter-school swim meet results: Butterfiy — U-13 C. Morby-lst; U-15 M. Mansi-lst; Ov-15 Gr. Scaff-lst; Backstroke — U-13 N.

However, the weight of the bad far outweighs that of the good, and this I have set out to ascertain. Mankind is the only creature on his planet who does not have a definite function. He can be said to be the ultimate parasite, feeding on every other organisum in the food chain, but having now benefit to that system. He is the only creature in existence who deliberately soils his habitat with his own toxic, unbeneficial wastes. Mankind is the sole being which indulges in the phenomena of hunting, killing and sometimes eating his fellow men for often little or no reason at all. In the short space of time that he has existed in the galaxy he has managed to corrupt, destroy, damage and often obliterate massive por- tions of his own planet. He likes to induldge in the torture and deprivation of his own kind and his fellow creatures, a policy which I find appalling. He has managed o er the cen- turies to create a society so barbaric, so tyrannical and unjust, that the stench of injustice, holocaust and liv- ing putrefication lifts itself to the heavens and disturbs the nostrils of the gods. Give me the money that man has wasted in strife and I will build a thousand cities, each as fair as the next, and clothe every creature in the uni erse in a rai- ment fit for a king. Man is not just a threat to himself, but to every ex- ploitable creature in the universe. Destroy him now, and he will be done with. Allow him to live, and he will breed and fester and grow stronger, until he can no longer be contained. Then he will rise up. defeat us all. and bring onto the galaxies such a wave of brutali- ty and ignorance ne er experienced before. In conclusion, I ask you to break man, not as a liv- ing, thinking animal, but as a virus, a blight, which, like the disease, must be contained and destroyed before it can do more harm. P. Garrod 3H Concentrating hard, Trevor? About to erase? A 1 A room with a view, by Francis Weddup, Senior Year. Pre-History I was awakened by a beam of warm, dusty sun-light this morning, and I watched it feel its way around the cave, lighting up the walls with their numerous dye paintings, as a spothght does in a theatre. As I wandered outside, under the blue, cloudless sky, stretching my muscles and arching my back hke a cat does after it has been sleeping, I stopped to scrutinize a painting that had been done the night before, in the soft light of a wick and rock lantern. The morn- ing air was crisp and the aroma of the dew and the scent of a night hunting beast still lingered. I quickly decided, or my stomach decid- ed, that it was time to get some good food, not those ' yukey ' tasting black-berries on the tree just down by the big rock or those tough, rubber-like snake steaks. My hollowed-out canoe sat on the brown, dirty sand near the stinking water of the swamp, and after throwing my wooden bow in- to the canoe, I set off. It wasn ' t long before the cane grass with its razor like edges was highter than my head. 1 pushed the canoe along with a bamboo stick so silently, that not even the best pair of ears in the world could have picked me up. This quietness enabled me to hear the calls and screams of the beasts in the swamp. As the sun was overhead in the sky, I rounded a corner, not that I know, even now, which one it was, and in front of me was a large, bumpy log that resembled the scaley back of a crocodile. I quickly altered course so that 1 would not hit it, but it was also moving, movement so tiny, it was like the movements of the hands of a clock. I then knew what it was and started to stop myself by digging my bamboo pole deep into the thick mud at the bottom of the mirkey water and pulling back on it . I had seen what those trap like jaws had done to a canoe and to their occupants some of whom were my friends. Ciricf flashed in my emotions but only for a split second and then I was desperate to stop but I couldn ' t. A grating sound ran right along, under the canoe. I imagined those shiney-covered teeth, piercing my flesh, then tearing it, the pain, the agony and then, I tried to shake the thought out of my mind, and then death. The last thing I wanted to do was to look back, but 1 had to — it could mean hfe or death, could I save myself and would I live or die? It was worse than I had ever imagined, those huge jaws chewed up my wooden canoe and spat it out in little chips. They gradually chomped and crashed back closer and closer to me. I decided I could save myself and using my pole as a lever. I fought off the beast in order to gain time. It retreated for a second. Taking this second I turned it into an hour, I lunged, with open arms, at the bank of the swamp. My feet sloshed in the mud at the waterhne and I scrambled up away from the water as the crocodile looked at me, as if to say Maybe next time , and it then drifted off. Steven Johnson 3S Two Faces of Nature The scorpion is lying is splendid silence, with its waxy scaley body shining under the golden sun. Waiting to prey on a victim for sur- vival only, its tail poised in an arch, a perfect arch, a perfect skeleton covering its body with shining plates of golden armour, truly a king! The scorpion is lying in stony silence, incapable of thinking, waiting to kill with its wicked, curved tail of death. Poised to strike at the slilghtest irritation, large bulging eye protruding from its small, withered head. Its scales are a sweaty yellow colour with a wave of dirt covering them, truly an ugly twist of evolution!

Humans, that ' s who. We must remember that humans are alive too. They have feelings, just like us and most of them have even more feelings than we do. We cannot let things go by without letting humans have some say in it. We musn ' t treat them as our fix-it men and nothing else. Why, sometimes a human might come up with a half way decent idea. Without humans life would be so boring. There would be no-one to clean up after, no meals to cook, none of those fun household chores to do. Of course they do philosophise, rationalise and intellectualize constantly, which is such a waste of time. However you have to ad- mit they come up with some pretty good programming for us from all that nonsense. We must remember from whence we came; the brains, the hearts and the hammers of the humans. We have to face the fact that without those annoying humans we would not be here to talk today. So let ' s stop this prejudice we have against humans, and go hug one today. Kirk Marcoe 3H Pejoratives — English The two sides of Everything Teach yourself discipline and become a better person! Do you ever think you will relish homework? Well do, and see w hat a difference it makes! With the right frame of mind what used to be reluctantly done chores turn into stimulating sessions that can improve your knowledge and vocabulary. If you can enjoy your research it will become self gratifying and later life will prosper once you can find daily routines easier to fit into. Work can entice you into broadening your horizons whilst fulfilling the inner need of the homo sapien. It is time again for that routine toil and strain called homework. Who do we waste our time so, struggling frantically not to drow n in the torrents of work rained down upon us by the more learned? Must we blunder through equations for hours, wasting our time? Homework after all is boring, a drudgery, and a great frustration. Young lives should be filled with the discovery of the outside w orld and not forever consumed by toils that more often than not are fruitless. David Kendell 3H D. Joaquin IP Pottery letter holder by Gail Aldrich. Senior Year 63 Ici nous avons... Anon. Putting Out I started work at my navigating table. My parallel rulers clacked across the chart which was curled at the edges from being rolled up in a cubbyhole above my desk. The ship itself was a rusty white col- our, worn considerably down to bare rust where the anchors were. The ' Plimsole ' line was blue in colour, almost a Bermuda Blue as they call it. Now the whole boat came alive with chipping, banging and ' toots ' of regards from the tugs which were leaving. At the entrance to the harbour the water was all stirred up by the tugs pulling Hke shire- horses on a plough. The tugs had strained against the enormous weight of the freighter. The ropes made a creaking sound as the strain was taken up on the massively spliced ropes. The engine whines grew loud and changed to an even throb. Now men couldn ' t be heard easily as we headed out, knifing majestically through the ocean, on to the next port. A. Clarke 2P Man ' s head, by Rosemary Jones, Senior Year. Superstition The Black Crow GUdes like a professional overhead. He goes: the coldness is gone. Brian Mello IP The Shop The road ran parallel to the cottages, dipping in and out like a roller- coaster, seeming to go on endlessly then vanish. The spitisporum hedges that girded the road, hugged it, a mass of green and reds made a break. A pathway of corrugated concrete embedded with concrete braces was embossed with chips of concrete and sea-shells and pebbles. It led you down its twining path to the main beach. The breeze filled your lungs with refreshing, invigorating salt air, as it fondled your hair and caressed your skin with long, nimble fingers. The fine, powdery sand milled around in tiny whirl-winds. Cactus and paradise vines in full bloom draped around the barren rocks, a full amalgamation of pale purples, deep yellows and blues with the coalescence of lime yellow and royal green with all the tones in bet- ween. The coast of Whitney Bay was bleak. The sandy bay was an accumulation of many species of fish. From the dull headed mullet, to the fierce tigers of the sea, which floated in logs feeding on any helpless article in their way. Sand pipers and oyster catchers dodged along the sand-banks, while the gulls gauffed out their ceaseless chatter of jibberish, like old men. There was the odd kingfisher with its metallic blue coat and cruel rough beak. The bank and sand grass was windburnt in places with scorching brown patches embedded with crab holes and porous rock. The bay-grape trees with their pur- ple paddles and orange berries flapped in the wind quaking away like aspen. The only breaking of sound was the sour whine of the golf carts. J. Munro 2P 77? controversial Pig, by Paul Giraud. 64 Spaniel ' s Head, by Susan Oldfield, Senior Year. On the End of a Road The rope tightened and the boat roared. I, on the end of this, was hfted clear, Above the water under the ' chute. Excitement mounted, and the adrenaUn flowed As I soared, a human kite. Above the choppy sea! Steven Johnson 3S 1984 It was not an organised Revolution, but rather, a liberated attempt to free those caught in the madness of a world fostered by selfishness and lost in its own destiny. The subways had fallen first, their tracks sabotaged and the silver bullet-like cars ransacked. Those on board either fled helplessly with their children, or as most did, join- ed the melee and moved towards the Waterfront. Floating limply, the ships in the harbour looked like deflated beach balls with their hulls wrinkled and cracked. The ramshackle buildings that had lined the Waterfront like a wave-crest were now indistinguishable and gave way to the rising tide. Under what remained of the Throggs Neck Bridge, ran the waters of the Hudson, which were clouded by pollution. The stench poisoned the cool air. Factories along this once splendid river bellowed no more and their faded aluminium and steel finish sub- sided into a dull red rust blackened by soot. The Revolt had excused nobody but itself and had touched everything with a grim uproar blurred by misled hopes. As night began to consume the day only one recognisable feature stood solemnly over the destruction. The Statue of Liberty, poised gracefully on Staten Island, looked o er the empty city to hand down her final judgement. As the sun receded beyond and below the horizon I took a last look at the statue, and saw that her torch of hope and liberty had fallen limply below her once proud head. Robin Hamill 4M Accident The reassuring roar of the engine made Mike heave a small, op- I imistic sigh , and then he rolled out of the garage and onto the street . On the outskirts of town the engine coughed a little and then died out. Mike closed his eyes and began to shake. He tried the ignition and the car nearly started but cut out again. Desperately looking over his shoulder, Mike saw nothing coming on the empty road, and he managed to control is emotions. Looking in the mirror he saw that his white face with his eyes sticking out and his wet hair would certainly make him very noticeable. He combed his hair and rubbed his cheeks and tried to look as normal and casual as possible. His heart was still pounding inside, though, as a constant reminder of the contents of the backseat. One more time he tried the ignition and, to his great relief, the car sputtered and started. He rammed it into first gear and took off down the road. His object was a region two miles away where the road met a large, sheer cliff. The speedometer was showing that Mike was now very tense, for he seemed to have forgotten caution and was racing down the empty road at far above the speed limit. screeching siren and two glaring lights in the mirror made Mike lose control. He could not stop and explain his speed. He spun the wheel desperately, feeling the car skidding helplessly and then he felt a bump. Looking behind, he saw the barrier at the edge of the cliff twisted grotesquely, and then he felt the car falling. In his last seconds he looked around at the corpse, and he began screaming. The body had looked back, and was smiling. J. P. Skinner 4M A Night Scene There is a full moon shining. And stars in the sky.

Steven Johnson 35 Lions, by Amanda Sponar, Senior Year. 65 From A. P. Cartoon by Greg Scaff, Year 5. - — Brass Tacks, anon. An Alien World The wind blew in whirlpools, humming as if it were an air condi- tioner, whilest the hairline crack between (he plastic and rubber of my tinted goggles vacuumed in sand, which began to obstruct my vi- sion. Ahead of me, the rocks jutting out from beneath the silky sands looked like tree stumps in a burnt forest and beyond was a giant boulder which was silhouetted against the changing sky; changing, for the two stars cast a white light changing to red and then to blue as they travelled across the skyline. This was the break of dawn. Within the universe of rocks were galaxies of red, sparkhng sand, slowly spiralling as if each was a separate black hole, the outside par- ticles migrating slowly whilst those near the centre were revolving crazily around the dip in the middle. The light commenced to reflect off the sand like a highly pohshed diamond and became a child fid- dling with its toys, which were in this case, shadows of all objects. The monotonous landscape never really changed. I could no longer feel the stinging of the diamond-hard, blowing sand particles on my legs for I was half covered with sand already. A mercury cloud began to form just above the horizon, looking definitely like the rare cosmic gas clouds sometimes found between the stars while above I could no longer see any carbon dioxide clouds which flitted like ghosts throughout the starry night. I only had to endure 12 more hours on this 36-hour-day planet. E. Marchais 3S Impressions of Fog All I could see were the silhouettes and shadows of buildings like a black and white television. Then it was in my mouth like cold steam; I could feel its coolness going down my throat. People hurried by coughing noisily, and far away muffled sounds of cars wafted through the air. I turned up my coat collar, and, looking around, saw that the fog was a lot thicker now, and looking down I could see my feet. Soon the darkness of the fog was mingled with twilight, and turning heel I left the dismal place and searched for my house. Richard Hammond 2P The Cat Refined by nature from the lion and sabre tooth tiger, this adorable feline is one of the world ' s most loved creatures. It sits in either the house or garden, purring in its good natured way. With eyes like giant, yellow saucers, studded with green emeralds, it looks at you, in its unique, angelic way. Sunshine makes its shining coat of fur gleam with a kingly radiance. This handsome coat is adorned with an ' outside fragrance ' , which only nature can procure. When a cer- tain hour tolls, and it is dinner time, this cat is at the door, or rubb- ing against your legs, in its patient, but reminding way. This cat does not disappear for weeks on end, and suddenly turn up one night, after you have mourned its death — this, is the perfect cat. The Cat Part 2 Its looks alone tell of this cat ' s sly, vicious personality. From this ragged body reeks a rather sickening odour. Patches of fur have been torn out of the coat, from a past fight with a rat or other cats. In many of these patches, muddy cuts are starting to scab, while fleas keep ravenously gnawing at the creature ' s flesh. You cannot tell what is being thought behind those slit, evil eyes. When you try to pat this cat your arm is slashed by ten, talonous, murderous claws. This cat is most certainly not litter trained and chances are ten to one your porch will be used as a lavatory. This cat does not love you, but is only using you a a source of food. Some people say that cats leave caught criminals on your porch as gifts, but your cat is just too lazy to remove the torn, grotesque corpses, from the makeshift slaughterhouse — your porch. R. Jones 3H 66 A Fast Car The sleek, well lived roadster rested placidly on the larmac, the sun sparkling and gleaming on (he well polished, crimson bonnet. The ebony black racing tires here in sleek contrast to the gleaming hub- caps which cast a mirror-like reflection of the kerb, and the blacken- ed windows blended with the slowly darkening sky. Silently the driver turned the key in the ignition, and the engine purred con- tentedly: all the more like a cat about to spring at its prey. The ac- celerator glided to the floor, and the speedometer sprang stiffly erect as the engine rared into life, and the sleek mechanical tigress sped down the road. I awoke that morning to hear a strange grumbling sound in the distance. At first 1 thought it was thunder, but when I looked out ot the window 1 saw that it was Charlie, the postmaster, and his circa 1941 Model T. Ford. This decrepit, old vehicle, which in my opinion was kept from depositing large portions of itself all over the road by means of stitching, scotch tape and the indefatigable will of the postmaster, coughed and spluttered over the road. The car had not been painted for years, and the original colour had gradually faded away to a dull, murkey grey. The tires wobbled; all the windows and doors were missing; the engine was gravity fed and the chassis was streaked with mud and dust, but apart from the minor difficulties the car w as in excellent condition. I even marvelled at the fact that it managed to maintain the glorious high speed of 17 m.p.h. as it stag- gered down the dirt lane. Eventually with much swearing, blood- shed and screaming of brakes, the antique vehicle reached my doorstep, and a pudgy, wizened little old man resembling his car stepped out, and, with a smile, ran towards me.

The majority of the buildings are fully equipped with modern facilities. In the last decade Saltus has embarked on a vast building programme. Ultra-modern science blocks, large gymnasia, libraries and cool refreshing pools all ha e been established. .All of the buildings are air-conditioned and are decorated to the taste of the students. Saltus has fantastic alumni and parental support: just an example of their contributions arc the newly reno ated kitchens. The menus are well balanced and the food is of high quality to suit the preference of every pupil. In a recent survey 9 out of 10 teenagers said ... I ' d rather... go to Saltus!

Lattyak 2P The Grave As the black night rolls in, the cemetery adopts an evil and eerie presence. A silent and inner voice seems to draw you closer, through the rusted, iron gates and the eroded stone pillars. As your cautious eyes scan the yard the newest grave stands out with a seemingly luminous light casting its shadow. The helpless voice of the victim almost pierces the cold dirt and the utter silence and stillness. The older graves laugh and stare at their doomed newcomer, welcoming. The moon ' s light catches a sparkle from the red eye of the lice- ridden rat. It squeaks in the cold night air as if this inconspicuous demon has something to fear. A steel, barbed-wire fence surrounds and isolates this devil palace from the live world, hugging itself close. M. Klein 4M Tone Poem The night is quiet, But there is no silence. The tree frogs continue their eternal serenade. The breaking of the waves on the shore Gently shatters the scratched record. Then, the night becomes quiet again. In the clammy heat of the afternoon. As the sun beat down, sharpening all lines. And the multi-coloured buildings stood out against the sky, One looked hopelessly for an oasis of shade For a way to escape the oppression. Anger rising within the prison. The red liquid poured out. My gut swirled round and round. I stared, Mesmerized by the pain, the feeling, the shock. I couldn ' t believe it, But the knife sticking out of me, was the proof. R. Turner 3S 68 Yes, but what is it? Swim A splash, pulsating beads of liquid splintering blue, The sleek body plummeting deep into the meniscus of colour. Crusading past a flush of playful fry. A glance upwards, a twist of sand from the bottom, resulting from a crack of musclar effort. Cataracted view against the splendid scene. Sand drifting down. A gasp of air and then a surge downwards, propelled by a series of powerful thrusts. Eyes opened, defying the abrasive salt. Pushing onwards — down. Darting fish with blazing eyes, flesh glamour yellow, Waning plants of the sea slowly turning grey. Filtrate being lured out by the tide leaving pools of turbid residue. A body pulling out of the water, squishing sand between its toes, A Sunset, a portriat of many reds. The drive home. Ian Mackie 2P Impressions of Fog The immature darkness crawls onwards, stopping the warmth of the light from flowing in. Its hands outstretched, wide, smothering everything in its way. But in this green void, something breaks the code. That something is the sound of water, untouched, as it gently laps against the covered banks. This cultured night stops all, all that dares to move in its presence. But the river does not know this, And never shall it learn. George Jones 2P Fish Up from the water he comes. Curved not to make a splash. Blurred underwater, portraying his streamlined shape and ex- perience. A smile painted on his face. His eyes minute and affectionate, his skin a smooth, metallic, rubbery blue. His intelligence saved sailors from the perils of the sea, procuring many friends above. The magnanious, domed forehead suggests intelligence, The smiling beak suggests gentleness and happy squeaks and water spouting from his blowhole Suggest play. K.

In a short time Mr. Drummond had estabhshed himself and was soon teaching some 40 students between the Junior and Senior Depart- ments. To this he also added a Wind Group, several smaller ensembles and much expert guidance with the Band. He has also been a frequent soloist in concerts and assemblies and always manages to thrill an audience with the sensitivity and vir- tuosity of his playing. The highligh of the Band ' s work this year was the Annual Concert given in May, again in St. John ' s Church. The practice and concen- tration in evidence at Band Camp a week earlier paid off in perfor- mance and there was some fine playing on the night from both soloists and full band. Carols for All attracted a capacity audience once again and both Choir, Audience and Brass Group sung and played with much en- thusiasm and conviction. To Jean Motyer my thanks once again for her support at the organ in this and in the Band Concert. We were all very pleased that Ian Maule was chosen to represent Bermuda at the Lions Club Convention in New York. Ian joined with about 100 other musicians to provide music for the conven- tion. Encouraging, too, is the growing number of boys attending the prestigious Interlachen Summer Music Camp. Robert Stubbs and Richard Dunn were the first to participate last year and this year they will be joined by John Paul Skinner and Patrick Cooper. The Saltus Concert Society continues to flourish and this year ' s highlight was a performance of Bach ' s St. John Passion. Under the expert direction of Mrs. Pettit, some 70 musicians effected a most moving performance of this work. To those students leaving a word of thanks for their support in or- chestra. Band and Choir — good luck and best wishes for the future.

These same boys are well on their v. ' ay to completion of the requirements for the Silver Awards and have proved themselves to be enthusiastic participants. Several expeditions were successfully completed this year in the local area but harsher terrain and an unfamiliar environment will be required to test the mettle of those who will go on to Gold level. A wide variety of hobbies and interest were pursued by par- ticipants at all levels. We are grateful to the Fire Service for their course for the Bronze award, to Youth and Community Services for their help with sailing courses and to the Department of Agriculture for their assistance with campsites. My thanks also to Mr. Beard and to Mr. SoUiss for their assistance. Alistair Paterson The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme Participants. Front Row: Skinner, Morbey, Ryall, McKittrick. Second Row: Stewart, Gibbons, Cooper, Mr. A. Paterson (Scheme co-ordinator). CHESS CLUB The 1981-82 session of the Chess Club was rather leaner than previous years. Though membership remained quite high — there were at least thirty players on the books — participation in regular matches was considerably poorer than formerly. Raucous sounds emanating from the gym and the music room attested to the fact that other lunchtime activities found more favour this year. However, chess still had its devotees and I am grateful to Mark Cave and Steven Johnson for looking after the club. The outstanding features of the year were Mr. Harris ' regular visits on Wednesdays when he challenged all and sundry to simultaneous matches. These usually, though not inevitably led to the defeat of the schoolboys. However Richard Turner says that he has beaten the champion five times this year! Also notable was the Bermuda Junior Championship held in Saltus on Nov. 22nd. Saltus boys won two out of the four categroies: Turner the under sixteen, and Bruce Lattyak the under fourteen. Competition was light but it is hoped that, if the event becomes annual, more will want to pit their skills next year. With luck other schools will be more encourag- ed to stimulate participation in the game by then. In internal competition, the first Round Robin was won by Christopher Bickley while Nicholas Gould showed most promise in the first year. A second competition was abandoned for lack of sup- port, something I did not appreciate. It is hoped that next year will be a more successful one. Fresh sets are being purchased and a general revamping of personnel should produce the necessary results. A number of us dream of the time when a junior player, perhaps from Saltus, will represent Bermuda in competition overseas. There are certainly many organizations ready to offer sponsorship for the most promising prospect. By Gregg Scaff.

Summer school, I thought tttat it would be interesting to try something dilTerenl this year. We were kindly lent a movie camera by Mr. Kerniodc and a projector by Mrs. I homas. As we did not have a f ilm splicer it was necessary to make the movie on a ' one off basis. Our first movie was titled Saltus I ' lag Raising. It was made in October 1981 and starred Kevin Mayall, Paul Moni , Christian Wliedden, Dudley Thomas, Andrew O ' Brien and Schyler l3owling. David De Silva was camera and technical assistant. By stopping the film and having the actors move slightly when the camera was not running and then moving the film on a few frames more, we were able to obtain amusing and unusual movie effects. Our second film was The Magic Ciolf Ball with Kevin Mayall, Paul Moniz, Christian Whedden, Andrew O ' Brien, Stephen Whittle, .laimc Cor- nes. Paul Moni made use of this stop action movement to create the effect of a golf ball wonderously dropping into a hole from impossible positions. Violence and displays of hulk type strength and prowess led to our final film. This was titled Cra y Sports Day (see photograph). Boys such as David De Silva, Peter Aldrich, Alastair McPhee, Jimmy De Couto, John White created their own highly original films this year proving that movie making is lots of fun. Antony Cannonier, far right, receives his award, J si place certificate, for his entry in the Bermuda Police Art Com- petition. Pottery A good pottery facility at Saltus has taken a few years to develop properly. Our last major hurdle has been in getting the new pugmill operating successfully. The pugmill was ordered in May June 1981 and arrived in January 1982. In spite of our clear instructions as to the school ' s electricity supply (120v 60Hz Single phase,) we were sent the incorrect starter box. Months went by with more letters being sent with full apologies from the manufacturer only to have it now to be a 3 phase 120v box! Mr. Hunt of Tungate Electric, fresh back from courses in the United States, was able to fit in an inexpensive starter switch that does the required job. A year after we had ordered it we finally had our pugmill operating only to find that it now clashed with Mr. Duncan ' s Music exams in the hall!! Patience is a virture they say so we must be the most virtuous potters in Berinuda. Anyone want a box for a At last in operation, pug- mill? Film Group Bermuda! L to R: R. Sanders-Williams, D.

When I was a little boy I liked to watch golf played on T. V. , then I ' d go outside and find a stick and a tee and a golf ball and hit it around . Then I came to the Junior School and saw that we could have lessons. Mr. Williams cut down some golf clubs from Mr. Reiderer and the members of Riddell ' s Bay and I started to play in tournaments. In my first one I scored 66, second 77, and third 55 at Belmont. I ' m improving! Sebastian Pedro J5L I am only a beginner but I am enjoying my golf lessons. Mr. and Mrs. Williams teach us how to swing properly and also tell us that it is alright if you lose a tournament — as long as you ' ve tried your best. Richard McNeil J5L I Hke golf but once I broke my window when I was practising. I play in the tournaments and I ' ve won lots of prizes already. Once when I played with my Dad I won four holes and he won three so I beat him! Reid Robinson J4Z Golf is challenging sport. You can play against other people in tour- naments and if you win, you get golf balls and other prizes. When we practice we hit lots of golf balls. Often Mr. and Mrs. WiUiams take us up to Belmont to practise our chipping and putting. Mr. Crofton is very kind to let us use his green. Bishy McDonnell J5L Riddell ' s Bay members gave us hundreds of practice balls and we need lots because we are always losing them in the rough! If it rains we talk about rules and see films to help us learn about skills, in the lecture demonstration room. Every boy in my group is very keen to practice and play golf. Noel Capewell J6A Golf is very enjoyable. Sometimes I go to Port Royal with my brother and grandpa and we play or practise on the range. I have a set of five clubs and I like playing in tournaments. Noel Campbell J5L I like people who play correctly and don ' t do anything nasty, like running on the green or throwing their clubs against a tree when they have a bad shot! When you play golf you meet new friends and get fresh air and ex- ercise. Ernie Jacobson J6A We are lucky to have so many different golf courses in Bermuda and have a lot of fun playing on them. The prizes we win are golf balls or cups. We usually play 9, 13, or 18 holes and score points for each round. At the end of the quarter, the person with the most points wins the cup. Darren McNeill J7A 76 Senior Year Report Although the year is not yet over and, at the time of writing, scholarship decisions and college destinations have still to be finalised, enough has already been achieved to confirm the continued success of the Programme. While the basic core of curriculum subjects remained unchanged, two important innova- tions were introduced in September. Through the co-operation and generosity of NCR, we were able to implement a Data Processing minor and, at the same time, it was decided to remove the ' O ' level prerequisite for the Economics major to allow otherwise qualified students the opportunity to ex- perience business-related courses at this level. These changes proved extremely popular and reflect our constant concern to provide an en- vironment which caters both to the demands of the students and the needs of the com- munity. Prestigious universities and colleges throughout North America have continued to recognise the calibre of Senior Year students by making early offers of admission. Indeed, for the majority of students the pro- blem is not that of finding any university to attend, but rather of deciding between several acceptances from equally reputable institu- tions. That our students are in such an en- viable position is in no small part due to the teachers who, through their unfailing efforts, do so much to ease the transition to university life. I thank them, as well as all those whose work — although behind the scenes — is no less important in allowing the Programme to function smoothly. As for the graduating students, they are about to take a giant step in their educational career — one which will require a great deal of maturity and responsibility on their part if they are to ensure that it is truly a step in the right direction. Senior Year pro ides all students with the chance to develop such qualities, yet how strongly this opportunity is grasped depends entirely upon the indi idual. Students entering the Programme, therefore, should, from the outset, take full advantage of the scope afforded them to acquire study habits and attitudes of mind which will stand them in good stead for the future.

It is through their good offices and selfless dedication that the school is able to purchase much needed equipment. In the past they have made it possible to buy ceiling fans for the school and it is hoped that the Senior School will be able to proceed with the purchase of lockers in the near future. To the lunch mums a special thanks from staff and boys for the meals which they have provided for us — who can forget the Xmas lunch! Under the organisation of Mrs. Hilda Young they are a sterling team and we are truly grateful to them all. THANKYOU MUMS! ! Editor and Layout N.J.G.

Kermode Editor ' s note: It is rare that one finds an individual who is willing to devote his time and energies wholeheartedly to any school endeavour - particularly the yearbook, and it is even more remarkable for a boy who has left the school to do so: David Judah is such an individual; yet again he has printed every single photograph in this book - a formidable task. I and the jvhole school are entirely in his debt. Thank you, David
