Saltus JUNIOR SCHOOL Junior School Staff 1984-85 Mr. M. Beasley, Mrs. K. Latter, Mr. S. Adams, B.A., Mr. P. Lever, Mrs. L. Williams, Miss M. Armstrong, Mrs. K. Walker, Mrs. M. Pettit Dip.Mus.Ed., R.S.A.M., L.R.S.M., Mr. G. Sutherland, (First Assistant), Mrs. J. Zuill, Miss E. Wilkie, (Head of Department) A day in the life of a teacher As I entered the quadrangle with a stem look on my face, five pupils greeted me as I passed by and went into my home-sweet- home ' staff room. I hung my helmet up on a peg and threw my class math books on my desk. Mr. Adams asked, What ' s gotten into you all of a sudden George? I answered, I just finished marking my math books and Burchall, Pratt and York wrote absolute Garbage! Then the bell rang and we all marched off to our classrooms. I walked towards my noisy class and Young ' s head popped out of the doorway and then he turned around and said. He ' s coming! He ' s Coming!! Then there was silence. I entered the class room and told York. Pratt and Burchall to come out to the front and said harshly. I want all three of you to repeat this garbage you handed in on Friday! Then they all ambled back to their seats. For the rest of the morning there wasn ' t any trouble except for a few rude remarks from Titterton and Moss. Then at lunch I was unfortunately on field duty. I broke up seven fights and banned one penknife from Semos. In the afternoon I took the fours ' for games. AW they did was giggle for an hour, so the only thing that got done was that I lost my voice. Then I exasperatingly cycled home and slept like a log for the rest of the day. - William Young J7S 27

Mystery Photographs Throughout the Junior section of the yearbook you will find several mystery photographs. These photographs were taken in and around the Junior Department. Try to identify the photographs - what they show - where they were taken. Be careful, they may not all be the right way up. For answers see page 5 1 . Mystery Photo 1 Comments on Science Lessons Dealing with the misuse of Tobacco, Drugs and Alcohol (1985) - as submitted to the Royal Commission In their Science lessons since September, classes J7A and J7S, of Saltus Grammar School (Junior Department) have been studying Human Biology, with particular emphasis on the importance of dev ;loping healthy habits to ensure long, happy lives, e.g. the importance of good nutrition, regular exercise etc. Recently, after learning about the heart, transplants, heart attacks, lungs, respiration etc. - a natural progression of work led to detailed discussions of the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs. It was obvious, from the boys questions and comments that they were well aware that all society is affected by the excessive use of these dangerous substances. Their thoughts and feelings, expressed after our lessons to- gether, are most encouraging, my aim, at this level (11 and 12 yrs.) is to demonstrate dearly and scientifically, the dangers of acquiring bad habits and to encourage the boys to make their future decisions on these matters, the right ones. Lilian Williams Science Department Saltus Grammar School It is most encouraging to see that the students are learning about and clearly very aware of the inherent dangers of abusing alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. They were obviously very impressed with the fact that Your lungs go from a heal thy pink to a sickening black . Your approach to integrating discussions on the misuse of drugs and alcohol into the total science programme, rather than singling them out. is most appropriate. Dr. David Archibald Royal Commissioner 29 Bad Habits Smoking, Alcoholism. Drugs... that ' s all I hear in the world today . What ' s so great about them. They don ' t do people any good. I turn on the television set... Play it Kool... Click. If I played it Kool I wouldn ' t play it at all! If you smoke. Stop! You are destroying your- self by puffing at that cigarette, cigar or pipe. By smoking you are giving youself cancer, lung disease and you take ten years off your life not to mention being a nuisance and danger to other people. - Lyle Douglas J7S Come on man, take a whiff. If someone says it to you you should have the brain to say No you are out of your mind . Some people think that it ' s great fun to go around taking drugs. These people are not fit to be human beings. - Marcus Kermode J7S Smoking is not a very good habit to start. When teenagers start to smoke they think they look cool and macho, but if you take my opinion they don ' t look ver cool they look and act ver ' silly. They are killing them- selves with the slowest torture possible. If someone comes up and says. Take a puff, ' you must reject say. no. and leave in the other direction. Smoking is ven. bad for your health and other people ' s health. If you don ' t smoke your lungs will be a light pink but if you do smoke your lungs will be a disgusting black. If you smoke it will destor other people ' s health too, because when they breath in they will breath in your disgusting filthy smoke. So do what you can help people quit smoking, anyone in the family or friends. HELP PUT A STOP TO SMOKING ' - Keith DeSilva J7S Smoking is a ver bad habit. I thmk that it makes your breath disgusting. When my mother and close friends kiss on the cheek I smell it so bad I feel sick and have to get fresh air. Smoking takes 10 years off your life and when you do not smoke your lungs are pink but when you start they go an ugly black colour. - Geoffrey Redmond J7S Smoking causes lung cancer and em- physemia. makes your teeth ba wn and if a pregnant woman smokes her baby ' s life is in danger. If you have staned there are a lot of programmes to help you stop, don ' t give up hope! - Michael Davidson J7A
