Cookery Club Woodwork Club Cookery Club It was very very fun. I liked the cupcakes best and when I got home I ate all of them. I liked the Easter eggs, I ate one and my brother had onne too. The next Thursday we made stuffed tomateos and I put tuna fish in mine. - Kevin Whitecross I enjoyed making the pizza and the scones and devilled eggs. Also I liked the Chef hats and I still have mine. I thank Mrs. Dyer and Mrs. Snaith for taking cookery, and I also liked washing dishes and drying them and using the chopper to chop green pepper. - Erik Jensen Art and Craft Club I though it was fun and I liked the things we made, specially the pot holder, it is very nice, my mom uses it for cookies, she uses it for pots too. - Adam Mayo What I liked best with Mrs. Bernard was when we made plates where we can put pots and things like that and the ball that I use to play ball with my dog. When Mrs. Hedges took us we made a Valentines card and with Mrs. Smith I made a super elephant. - Grant Smith Woodwork Club I enjoyed using the tools like hammer, saw, pliers and plane. I also enjoyed Mr. Meredith ' s suggestions on what we ought to bang a nail into or not. But one thing 1 hated in Woodwork was the NOISE! I enjoyed when someone would bang their finger with the hammer then they would drop the hammer on the table and then 1 would grab it and use it. Sometimes we made a really good thing like a tow truck or a boat. Woodwork was like a hammer and nail club, but 1 enjoyed it. -NielJones Sports Club I enjoyed playing football, it was most worth while and I learned a lot. I liked the exercise too. I ' m a lot slimmer now than before. I remember when I scored a goal off the wing. Scott went out and I went in. - Mark Lomas I liked playing wing or centre forward. I scored against Jean- Paul. He threw the ball out and 1 headed it in the goal. I thank Mr. Addams and Mr. Massey for coming to teach us. - Ian Smith MUSIC and KEEN READERS Cameron Snaith and Thomas Steinhojfwere amoni; this year ' s Menuhin Foundation Phixers 25 Mark Lomas.

CLUBS Outdoor Club , ■ i leaders A highlight of this year ' s activities was a visit to the House of Assembly where the Premier graciously found time to explain some points of Government Outdoor Club I have enjoyed all the places we have visited so far. I enjoyed Bermuda Press the most. They asked us our names and then they printed them on a metal strip, then they printed it on paper. Then we went to the computers and they typed in a little story about me and someone else, then we saw them making thousands of calendars. And then they gave us a calendar and a metal strip with our name on it. - Nigel Swain I especially liked the trip to Gosling ' s Warehouse. The part I really liked was the strong smell of rum in there. - Jeremy Hammond I was really interested in the things that Mrs. Wiggins and Mrs. Farmer said at the Aquarium and I learned a lot. 1 see that man has had a lot of impact on Bermuda since 1609 when the Sea Venture was wrecked. The cahows. longtails. skinks, heons, turtles, bluebirds and crabs are all Bermuda animals. Cedar, palmetto and bcrmudiana are all Bermuda plants. I would like to know how much people it takes to run the Aquarium and it must take a lot. If a skink got into a coke can and tries to get out it could cut itself on the joining of the leg and the body. The Natural Habitat Room has really good displays. How did they picture those slides from long ago? I have learned a lot from two terrific people. - Niel Jones We were able to offer the Class 3 boys a wide variety of activities, thanks to the Volunteer Parents who ran the following Clubs: Outdoor: Mrs. West, Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Elliott, Mrs. Swain Craft: Mrs. Vivienne Smith, Mrs. Loomis, Mrs. Bernard Cookery: Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. Snaith Sports: Mr. Massey, Mr. Addams Swimming: Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Collier (and thanks for the use of the Collier Pool) General Reserve: Mrs. Hedges Gardening Club 24 (The Gardening Club again won many awards for vegetables and endemic trees at the Agricultural Show) Gardening Club One time we went to Verdmont to plant some cedar trees with the gardener Charles Outerbridge and we planted our own trees that we had grown at school. After that Charles showed us around the garden and then we went into a big house and a lady showed us around. - Scott Wheeler Miss Thompson let us take our cabbage home, and our lettuce and they all were delicious and the carrot was the best of all and it was so nice that 1 felt like taking all of them. 1 loved gardening a lot. - Gerren Daniels

SATURDAY SOCCER by Mike Sommerville Patrick Graham c? oO OOO Q ooo o nn Michael DaCosta Saturday soccer at Saltus Cavendish continued for the fourth successive season, receiving enthusiastic support from both the boys and their parents. The 1984 85 season began in October with a coaches ' clinic conducted by Jon Beard, senior school athletic director, emphasizing the continuity of the soccer prog- ram throughout the school. The league schedule, consisted of 24 games (somewhat rain diluted) running through until March. Approximately sixty boys participated. The league games were very exciting. Although the Blue team pipped the Yellow team as the ultimate winner, it should be noted that all of the boys who participated were in fact the winners. The greatest reward for the coaches and parents was in seeing the progress the boys made from week to week. As in the previous three years, the emphasis was placed on partici- pation, team work, and development of skills. The enthusiastic and progressively accomplished play throughout the season gave evidence to the fact that these objectives were achieved. On December 29th after much turkey and Christmas pudding, the mums once again took to the field in the annual mums VS boys game. Both sides were extremely enthusiastic with the mothers powering into and early lead. One or two fathers assisted the boys in the second half, and the only loser at the end of the day was Jennifer Hedges who retired with a cut eye. Special thanks go to Penny Carruthers and her catering gang who provided refreshments after a most enjoyable game. One of the highlighs of the year for Cavendish was the third annual match between a team composed of second and third year Cavendish boys and a team of fourth year Junior School players. It was a hard-fought match resulting in a Nil-Nil draw. The game again underscored the important link between the Cavendish and Junior School football programs, with the result alleviating any concerns the third year boys might have had regarding the transition to the Junior School league. The 1984 85 season was brought to a close with the annual presentation of medals by Mrs. Hopkins along with exhibition matches in which the boys were able to demonstrate for their parents their accomplished skills. The traditional Fathers versus Coaches match also took place, with the coaches emerging victorious?? All in all it was a great family day. One final note; the involvement of parents in Saturday soccer at Cavendish is fundamental to is continued success. Parental support this year was excellent. Many thanks go to all of you who assisted with coaching, organizing functions, fund raising and equipment maintenance. Let ' s keep it up. m. 9 Daniel Graham Grant Smith 26
