The Headmaster: Mr. J.K. McPhee, B.A., Dip. Ed., M.Ed. FROM THE HEADMASTER I write these words on the eve of Founder ' s Day and as always at this time of year our thoughts go back to our origins and to all those who for almost a century have made their various contributions to the school. We have been left a rich heritage which it is our duty to pass on, untarnished and if possible enhanced, to those who follow. You the students, have an important part to play. Whenever you strive for and achieve high standards in your various endeavours, whenever you face up to problems courageously, whenever you recognize your duties and honour your com- mitments, whenever you show concern for others, whenever, in fact, you demonstrate any of those qualities of mind, character and spirit that are the products of a fine education, then by your actions you honour your heritage and provide an example for those who will follow. You have been born and will live in an era of unprecedented technological advance and global interdependence and it is our responsibility as a teaching staff to ensure that you are equipped to meet the many challenges that lie ahead. One of the more obvious of the recent steps taken by Saltus in that direction has been the setting up of a Computer Centre equipped with nine micro computers and the employment of a full time teacher of Computer Science to start in September. But most important of all we, the teachers, must pass on those traditional values that are so vital for both the fulfilled individual and for a free society. This especially means a commitment to those values which transcend personal advantage and material reward and involve the use of old fashioned words such as service, self-discipline and duty. We must continue to create an atmosphere where duties are more important than rights and where you, the students, are led to grasp the central truth that we depend upon each other not only for our prosperity but also for our happiness and for all that makes life worthwhile. 1

Thanh Dear Mrs. Benevides, Thank you for getting the swing set and the see-saws. We have fun on the swings and see- saws. It is scary when the see-saws go up and down. We are not allowed behind the swings and see-saws but we have to line up at the swings and the see-saws. Our turn is on Wednesdays. I have seen other children on it and they were happy on the swings. Mark Outerbridge Dear Mr. Henagulph, Thank you for putting up the swing set at the school field and thank you for putting up the see-saws. The see-saws are lots of fun to ride on. Every Wednesday it is our turn on the swings and see-saws. I can ' t wait until Wednesday because I want to ride on the see- saws and swing on the swings. Nicholas Hirn A big thank you to this year ' s class mothers for all their hard work and support. Mrs. Marley (co-ordinator of the class mothers) Mrs. Leman (3T), Mrs. Lee (3M), Mrs. Taft (2B), Mrs. Starling (2D), Mrs. Sim- mons (IB) and Mrs. Clarke-Irons (IS). Enjoying the swings and see-saws. The Halloween Fair 1 X m ' The Castle of Fun by Marc Boden. Halloween On Halloween I was Snoopy. First I went to the Halloween Fair for one and a half hours. Then I went to Aaron Oliphan ' s Halloween party. I won the lucky dip. Then I went trick or treating with the big boys. We went up and down the hill. It was fun. Then we went to nearly every house on the farm. We had a lot of fun at the Saltus Fair. I like the castle of fun. It is very bouncy. I always fall down. Halloween On Halloween I dressed up as Inky the cat and secretly crept up on my mother. Then I screamed boo and she jumped a foot off the ground. So I giggled. She turned and saw thin air. I had gone round with her back and ran off with Jonathan to play on the fort. He was the Lone Ranger.
