FROM THE HEADMASTER By the time you read this our fund raising campaign for $750,000 with a challenge goal of $1 .000,000 will be almost over and I have no doubt that it will have proved successful, for Saltus clearly has all the necessary ingredients for that success. Possessed of a rich heritage, we continue to foster those traditional values and qualities of mind, character and spirit that are the hallmarks of a fine education and, as our results in external examinations during the past five years prove, we are currently at the leading edge of academic excellence in Bermuda. The calibre of the students we produce is well known, and it is recognized that an in estment in Saltus is an investment in the future of Bermuda. In addition, we have a clearly definable need. Deterioration of our older school buildings must be checked soon if we are to fulfill our responsibility to future generations and hand them down a physical plant that will withstand the ravages of time. Also our Scholarship and Bursary Fund must be put on a sound footing whilst further development of our Senior Year Programme, current!) planned, must not be inhibited by lack of classroom space. But most importantly, we have a constituency who, though disparate in many respects, are united in their loyalty to the school and in their concern for its welfare, both present and future. Staff. Students, Parents. Friends of the School. Old Boys and Trustees w ill all have played their part in contributing, thoughtfully and proportionately, to our needs. I thank them all. Headmaster ' s Office June. 1984 1
