FROM THE HEADMASTER As we move through life we wi ll, from time to time and if we are very fortunate, meet men and women who are very special - who are, in fact, men and women of true stature. I feel very privileged to have met more than my share of such individuals here in Bermuda and they include among their numbers Mr. H.C. Butterfield, who announced his retirement from the Trus- tee Body at the Senior Department Prize Giving last November when in his 27th year as a Trustee and his 20th as Chairman. During his tenure, he guided this school with certainty and honesty through fair weather and foul, helping preserve what was best in our heritage, discarding what was clearly outmoded or unjust, and showing clearly that he had, at all times, a true respect for his fellowman. He had served and been served in his turn by three Headmasters and although I have known him for only six years, during that time I have never failed to be impressed by his devotion to us, by his constant endeavours on our behalf, by his integrity and by his basic humanity. To this school he has been as Chaucer said of Triolus. ' As true as Steel ' and I cannot let him pass from our midst without acknowledging our debt to one of the greatest servants that Saltus has had in recent times. If there is a single individual who more than any other has contributed to the success of the Centenery Fund Raising Campaign it is Chet Butterfield, and it is a fitting climax for a man who has devoted over a quarter of a century to our service. 1
