TRUSTEES D. Anfossi, Esq. - Chairman J. Amos, Esq. J. Burland, Esq. Dr. D.E. Campbell H.C.D. Cox, Esq. N.B. Dill, Jr., Esq. F.J. Gosling, M.B.E. C.E. Pearman, Esq. Dr. E.S.D. Ratteray D.C. Selley, Esq. L. Simmons, Esq. D. Tolaram, Esq. G. Titterton, Esq. Saltus Grammar School Bursar: Mr. G. Rosser FROM THE HEADMASTER 1 During the course of my professional life I have been privileged to meet and work alongside many fine teachers and indeed one of the many rewarding aspects of my involverhent with Saltus is that we do have staff of a very high calibre whose contribu- tion to the school far transcends the norm in terms of the depth of their commitment and their willingness to give of their time and of themselves in the interests of the students. In addition I have, on occasion, had that unique pleasure of knowing some truly exceptional teachers who only combine a high degree of professionalism with a genuine love and care for all the pupils in their charge but also selflessly devote their entire lives to the schools in which they teach. Such a teacher is Mrs. Mary Hopkins who retires this year as Headteacher of Cavendish after a lifetime of service to the school. It needs few words from me to sing her praises because all who have ever come into contact with her down the years, whether as pupils, parents or colleagues will have their own special memories and will know the extent of our debt to her. Mrs. Hopkins has had no children of her own but the succession of pupils who have passed through her hands have all been ' her family ' , and have gained immeasurably from the relation- ship. Mrs. Hopkins is currently unwell, but it is my hope that by the time you read this she will have returned to full health. I know that you would all like to join me in acknowledging our great debt to her and in wishing her a healthy, happy and fulfilling retirement. Christa McAuliffe, shortly before her tragic doatii in the ill-fated space shuttle, Challenger , said that because she was a teacher, she had ' touched the future . The work that Mrs. Hopkins has done with so many generations of pupils in their important formative years will continue to bear fruit for many decades to come and she will long hold a place in the hearts and minds of all who know her. 1 Even our first old School House on Mount Hill could not discourage dedicated teaching. 1961 School photograph. 65 pupils. 3 teaching staff.

CONGRATULATIONS We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our friend and colleague, Mrs. Shirley Bacon, who has been ap- pointed our new head teacher. WELCOME We would like to extend a warm wel- come to Mrs. Joan Luce. Mrs. Luce comes to us from Canada, where she trained at Toronto Teachers College, has a B.A. from the University of Western Ontario, and has post graduate courses in specialist education. She has taught in both Toronto and London, moving to Bermuda in January of this year. 4 SPECIAL EVENTS Success at the Agricultural Show Miss Thompson and her champions gardeners First Prize Winners in the schools terrarium section. The Sir Edwin Leather Trophy is a awarded annually to the primary school with most points at the agricultural show, and it was a proud moment for Cavendish, when we heard that this year, in conjuction with the Junior Department, we were the winners. Of course, most of the credit for this must go to Miss Thompson and her gardeners who did extremely well in a variety of classes again this year. However, we must not forget Mrs. Strong and her terrarium builders who won a first in their class, and all the individual children who entered and won prizes independently, and whose subsequent points all contributed to winning the trophy. Sir Edwin came in person to present the trophy which was received by representatives from both the Preparatory and Junior departments, accompanie d by Miss Thompson and Miss Armstrong, and after an amusing speech, the trophy was duly handed over.

MISS THOMPSON ' S 3T At Nonsuch Island before the rain . Endemic trees at Nonsuch — Brian Dodwell A heron at the fresh water pond - Matthew Strong 14 NON-SUCH ISLAND When we were on the boat we saw people parachute off a plane. We thought that they were going to land in the water but they landed on land. There were eight people parachuting and they all landed on land. We went very fast and Miss Thompson had never been through the bridge and when the bridge opened a bell made a loud noise. Then we came to Nonsuch Island. There was a shipwreck and we walked on it for a dock. Llewel- lyn was scared to go in the tunnel so I had to go in front of him. When we got to the chapel it started to rain hard for a very long time. We saw a whale head and we did not know what kind of whale it was. So we went in side of the chapel and we saw some pictures of cahows that Dr. David Wingate rediscovered. Then the rain died down sw we went to see a cahow burrow. Then it got very windy and it started to rain. So we went out and we saw herons. One of them was in the fresh water pond. When we were in a wooden house it heard what we were saying. Then we went to see the salt water pond and we ate some scurvy grass. I did not like it. So we went back and the lady showed us a dead crab. Then we went back to school. - Sean Correia MY ISLAND One day a man gave me an island. I called it Venture Island because it looked like I would have a lot of adventures on it and I did. I found a place to put my house. I built my house 1 mile long. I have an elevator that does not go up it goes sideways. So I can get from one end of my house to the other. It goes really fast. I built a big stable 3 miles long for all my horses (I have 99 horses) and I have a paddock 2 acres wide. I ride a horse every day. (I ride a different horse each day). I have a sports field 2 acres wide. On my sports field I have equipment on my field for every sport in the world. I have a pool 1 mile long and Vi mile deep and I have snorkelling gear. I have a forest 1 acre wide and I have a cover over my pool. I like my island a lost. It has all I need. Also I have a dock and a speed boat, a cruiser and power boat. I have vines on my trees and 3 T.V. ' s and they have built-in radios. All my televisions are color. I think my house is the best house. I have all I need. -Brian Dodwell Once I was in my boat and I saw a big rock with endemic trees. The house that I have in the real Bermuda has a rotten floor. So I built a house on the island it had a beautiful forest. So I called it Green Meadow Island. I was rich so I went and got a flashlight, a dozen sticks of wood some matches and a tent. In the morning it was sunny and I said this is the best place to live in the world. I lived there happily ever after. This day you can still see me camping there. - David Burt I would be a farmer and every day my dog and I would go for a walk along the beach. I would go every day and feed my cows and my bulls and my ducks. I will have a summer cottage and I will have a pool. I will have a stable for my horses. If a storm goes by my house would be named Tornado. - Justin Browne Richard Fulton ' s penguin. MY ISLAND Once upon a time I found an Island. I brought five men with me and brought a bulldozer on the island. I dug a hole in the ground for a house and dug another hole for a pool. Then my house had a lighthouse on it and my house had an apartment. - Llewellyn Peniston WHEN I GROW UP When I grow up I want to be a man who owns a big business in a building called the Dallas building with a hot dog stand in it and a tunnel and a parking lot too and a kitchen and it was a big house a long time ago.

He found a nice hotel. There he met lots of people and one day he went to the zoo. He saw lots of animals there. He liked the elephant ride best of all. Then the host said the cheetah has gotten out of its cage. The robot got some food and went into its cage and called the cheetah. It came for the food. The robot jumped out and pushed the cage door down. He captured the cheetah. - Simon Faries A house - Taran Card A seed picture - Jack Negro A whale - Sam Fraser Smith THE CAVE MONSTER At the foot of a moutain there lived a cavemonster. One day there was a boy. His mother and him went to a mountain. At the top of the moutain there was a big cave and nobody knew what was at the top of the moutain but someone has to know, so the boy went half way up the moutain.

We were sent to find an island that no one had seen before. There was at least five small boats all together. My name was Sir George. On the way a hurricane struck. All boats were pulled away from each other. We started pumping but all of the food blocked the pumps up. Then one of the men said we ' ve got a hole in the bottom of the boat. Then we started putting every thing in the water. Then a man said land Ho! I said put the little boat in the water. It was all right to go in the little boat I said. We rowed to the shore. I let two men go and get some food. We went to get some of the stuff that fell off the ship. Then we went back to the island. The men were sitting by a fire. They said that they had got food. We all sat on the floor and had something to eat. I said what did you find to eat? They said we ' ve got wild pig here he said, and some fish in the water and some nuts and some birds. Then they said is that good? I said yes, that is good. W e made some houses with some trees and we made some fires outside every house. Then more people came to Bermuda. I put my house on a big hill. Then I told my men to build a big boat. When you have got some more wood I said. We will make a big boat and go to England and get some people to come and live on Bermuda. Soon Bermuda was a town everyone like Bermuda so they got more people to come to Bermuda. - Jack Wilson Many years ago a hurricane struck our fleet. Our navigator was Sir George Somers. Treadwell and I were on the same ship as Sir George Somers was on. Our ship got torn away from the fleet. We were sailing from England. We sailed for days and days until big waves broke over the ship. We got the pumps out. Soon all of the pumps were stuck with biscuits. Then we bailed the water off the ship. Very soon there was a hole in the bottom of the ship. We put oursalted beef in the hole because all the other food was floating all around in the water. Soon we had to throw all of our luggage off. Treadwell and I had to keep on bailing the water off the ship. Treadwell and I thought it was very very sad. Sir George Somers thought that our ship would never make it to land. Just then one man said. Land Ho! Sir George Somers was so excited. Soon we got into all our rowing boats. Then we rowed to shore. We found trees, grass, wild pigs and a very few scorpians. We got the wild pigs and used them for food. Our other food was the fish. Treadwell and I could just remember the date we left which was 1609. We liked the islands so much we stayed there and built houses out of palm trees. We lived happily ever after. - James Spearing In the year 1609 there was some ships traveling from England to get to America. Now they are boarding their ships. I was going on the Sea Venture. The person in charge of all the ships is called Sir George Somers. So they left England. I said to Sir George that we ' ve been sailing for seven weeks. Then there was a hurricane. And there was waves which came into the ship. Then we had to throw all of our cargo over board to make the ship lighter. Then we got a leak. Then we got a hole in the ship and we put salted beef in the hole. Somebody called land ho. Every body raced to the side of the ship to see. Sir George said that the ship wouldn ' t hold. Then we got into a life boat and rowed to shore. Then some of the men went back to the ship to get tools to build houses with. Then they went back to shore to build houses. So we cut down trees and started to build some houses. Some men went to get supper. They caught wild pig, birds and wild berries and fish and lots of wild fruit. -DarylFubler Our Visit to Nonsuch Island. When we got to NonSuch we talked about Endemic trees. One was the Olive wood another was the Bermuda palmetto and the last one was the cedar tree. Two ladies called Mrs. Benbow and Ross split us up. My group went left and the other group went right we were walking along a path when we came to a stop Mrs. Benbow said look there ' s a Night Heron. Then we went on and Mrs. Benbow said we would see a cahow burrow. Every one looked in side the cahow burrow then we came across a dead cedar tree. Mrs. Benbow said that a little scale insect killed the cedar trees. Then we went to a hide. We hid in a house and you could see all the little birds that came to the pond that we were looking at. Mrs. Benbow also said that the people brought in lady bugs to eat the scale insect then the lizards at the lady bugs and the Kiskadee at the lizard. Then we went to a beach and I found a coconut and Mrs. Benbow said that it had been washed a shore and I had found it. Then she said that they had put turtle eggs in the sand and when they hatched they went to the water. Then we went to see a fresh water pond and we also saw a salt water pond then we came back here. - Colin Evans We went to an island called Nonsuch Island. First we learned about how Night herons catch and eat crabs. They catch them like this. They shake off the legs then eat them. After we had the little talk. We went in groups first my group went and saw a cahow burrow then we went to the hide and saw the birds. Then we went to a beach and we saw a salt water pond and we saw a chick of the village and we saw an olive wood and a cedar tree and a palmetto tree. They are all endemic but some insects called scale insect killed the cedar trees so men brought in lady bugs and the lady bugs ate the scale insect and the men brought in lizards and they ate the lady bugs. In my group I saw a skink. They are like snakes with legs. Then we went and saw a fresh water pond. Then we went home. - Daniel Frith Our Visit to the Aquarium I went to the Aquarium. I learned about fish. A fish is a fish because a fish is I f cold-blooded and we are warm-blooded f and a fish has gills and we have nose and a fish lives in water and we live on land, a fish has scales and we have skin j and a fish has fins and we have arms I legs. - Treadwell Tucker All about fish. I saw a little sea horse and a little bunch of fish. The octopus has gotten very big since I last saw him. There were turtles and a few moray eels. I saw the nurse shark too, and I also saw Archie and Charlotte the seals. - Nicholas Ranee When I grow up... I would like to be an archaeologist with my cousin Justin Brown. We might be soccer players. Justin and I have not decided what we will be when we grow up. Justin thought we might be both. We would find fossils, or we will play in big soccer matches. - Andrew Frith When I grow up I want to be a soccer player. I like soccer very much because if I have a baby boy I am going to teach him how to play football. So when I retire he will take over football for me. - Stephen Oughton Anything! Every where I go people say anything! On Saturday I asked my Mom what was for dinner and she said anything. Then I asked my brother what shall we play? Then my brother said anything. Then when I went to bed my Dad said jump in bed. Then I said what jump should I do? Then my Dad said anything. - Kevin DeSilva My Visit to Montreal One day we had to go to Montreal. I was happy, sad and little mad because I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning. And because we had to go on two flights. When the taxi was there, we went smoothly to the airport. We had to go through immag- ration. And showed them papers of ours, (to show we were innocent). When we got on the flight, a lady said: hello, hope you enjoy your flight. When we were in the air, it was amazing!! All the buildings looked like little toys! When we got to Boston, we left as soon as we could. - More Roth Sundays Stunt Car On Sunday I went to drive my little car. So I drove it down the hill and started driving it in the car park. Then I made it go up a ramp and then it went flying then it landed. I had made all these stunts like the one when it went up the ramp and did a popuwheel. There was another good one when it crashed into the wall and did a flip, and then I went back home. - Andrew Shailer The Day I Went to Space. One day I was asked by a spaceman if I wanted to go to space. I said yes and I saked if I could bring my friend, Daryl. He said that I could bring anybody so I picked Daryl, Treadwell, Stephen and Wolde. The next day I went to space with friends. When we got to the moon we got in our space suits and went out. All of us wanted to explore the moon. After we explored it we wanted to look around for Mars. It was so far away that we turned back and landed on the moon. This time there were marshons all over the place. We looked in the e mergency box and there were laser guns that worked in space. I pressed a buttom and and some steps came down, we picked up the guns and loaded them and we went outside in our space suits. We blasted ten marshons and they went floating away. Soon we were captured and we were frozen accept Daryl, he ran back to our space shuttle. When he came back he lit us on fire and we unfroze. We fought back and this time when we blasted them their bones turned into more marshons. So we ran back to our space shuttle and took off. I pressed a button and we went into the future in space. We had a machine that could blow up an entire planet and could shoot a bullet two hundred and fifty mph. It could also capture people and put them in a dungeon and it could do lots more. One day some medeirrites were flying toward us. One of them hit our space shuttle luckily the shuttle didn ' t blow up but lots of damage was done. When the medeirrites were gone we went out and started fixing the damage. It was quite big so it took us five hours to do the whole thing. When I looked up afterwards I saw flying monsters with teeth as long as five fee t long heading straight for us. We ran in the shuttle and each of us got inside a gun and started blowing them up soon they were all gone and we went back to the right time. Soon we found ourselves on Saturn we were captured by an alein and were brought before their King. Their King ' s name was King Wormsword. He said if we did a days work for them they would help us in a battle because they new that a battle was coming. A battle was coming, it was us and the aleins aginst the marshons and the monsters. There were lasers and everything and then silence. We had won. We said thank you and then we took off. Soon we were on Jupiter. Then a Cyborg saw us and he called his friends. We took out the laser guns but they didn ' t work and there wasn ' t any amunition so we took out the flame throwers. We fired at them but they walked right through the fire. So we took out some swords and killed them all. Finally we were closer to Mars. We had forgotten what earth looked like. But we were so tired we went to earth. — Stephen Fahy 17 ' Bermuda Paradise - Scott Baron Jonathan and the Dragon . Once upon a time there was a boy called Jonathan. He had am other and father and a brother and he was happy. But the villages happiness came to an end because a dragon came to the illage and e er bov up to thrity will have to come and tight. So when Jonathan heard this he went to his very best friends Stephan FaliN and Dar 1 Fublcr. Thc were about one year older than Jonathan. Daryl was strong hut Stephen was wise. So off they went to see the king. They got all the things they needed and off they went. When they saw the dragons ca e they looked in, sure enought there was the dragon. So they set to work digging pits setting traps of all kinds. So when they had finished Jonathan climbed to the top of the ca e and made a noise and woke up the dragon. And when the dragon heard this he thunderd out of his cave and fell right into a pit. When thc saw this thev cheered their heads off and IhcN called a big party for this great okayshon. - Joihilluiii Andrew Setting out the baked goods. Peek-a-boo!

Sinwn Furies Prep. 3T SATURDAY SOCCER « - - Port Royal and Saltus teams after the December 14th Match . Satuday Soccer at Saltus Cavendish commenced its fifth succes- sive season in October preceded by two coaching sessions conducted by Jon Beard, Senior school athletic director and Kieran Peacock Junior school athletic director. These sessions were well attended by parents from Cavendish and the Junior and Senior schools, emphasizing the continuity of the soccer programme throughout Saltus. The popularity of the prog- ramme was evidenced by the enthusiastic support of over 85 boys at the beginning of the season which settled down to an average turn-out of between 65 and 70 boys each week with strong support being provided by parents by way of coaching, refereeing and organizing functions. The league schedule consisted of 22 games through to the end of March with very few rain-outs. Much excitement was shown weekly with the final standings in doubt until the last week of the season when Yellow team managed to win the title closely followed by Green, Blue and Red teams. The emphasis thoughout the year was on participation, team work, development of skills, and the fun element of playing. The coaches and parents were rewarded by the evident prog- ress of the boys in the development of their skills over the year. The annual Mothers ' vs Boys ' game was held on December 28 with a full complement of Mothers and Boys and Supporters. Both sides were extremely enthusiastic with the Mothers man- aging to hold the boys to a 3-3 draw. For the first time in the Saltus Cavendish soccer programme, games were played against another school during the 1985-86 season. On December 14, boys selected from the 2s and 3s played against Port Royal Primary School. Much skill, enthusiasm and sportsmanship was exhibited in their 5-0 win, with 2 goals being scored by Haile Outerbridge and 1 each by Craig Brown, Raymond Burgess and Ricky Carruthers. A return match was held on March 8 at the Saltus Junior school field where the The Victorious Saltus Team. Cavendish boys won over a much improved Port Royal team by a 2-0 score with goals being notched by Sam Fraser-Smith and Craig Brown. The success of both these games was due to the untiring efforts of the head coach, Mr. W. Templeton, his field coach, Mr. J. Brown, Mr. R. Massey, as the Saltus linesman, Mr. V. Ingham, who refereed and the mothers who organized refreshments for all the boys and the numerous sup- porters who attended the matches. Another highlight of the year was the fourth annual match between a team composed of third year boys of Cavendish and a team of fourth year Junior School boys held at the Junior School field on April 5. After a scoreless first half, the constant pressure by the Cavendish side produced a 3-1 victory over the Junior School side with goals being scored for Cavendish by Ricky Carruthers, Wolde Place and Craig Brown. Mr. W. Templeton again ably guided the boys in this match which produced a very high level of skills. No doubt this is welcome news to the Junior School coaches for the future. The continuity of the Cavendish programme into the Junior and Senior prog- rammes is important and the games such as the third year vs fourth year boys are good indications that this continuity is evident and encouraged. The 1985 86 season closed on April 19 with a round robin series of games, a game in which the first year boys participated and several soccer skill events. In addition, Mrs. J. Beard presented medals to all the participants in the programme. Refreshments were provided by a hard working group of mother and fathers to end a well supported family day. As you can imagine, the success of the Saturday Soccer prog- ramme at Cavendish is wholly dependent upon the support of parents; in the areas of coaching, refereeing, fund raising, organizing functions and even being in attendance to support their sons play. This past season was exceptional in the support provided. Many thanks to all of you! 26 JUNIOR SCHOOL The Staff 1985-1986 Back Row: Mr. M. Beasley Middle Row: Mr. S. Adams, B.A. Mrs. J. Zuill Miss E.

Icy waters under the floe. Glaciers, ' bergs and massive seas. Smooth, cold stones and evergreen trees. - by Jonathan Bell Nicholas Pettit Present to Past I stepped into the machine. All I could remember was the whirling, swirling, upside down movement. I remember waking in the bright morning sun, soil all around me. I heard the cries of birds but they did not sound like the cries of any bird I knew. I looked down at six chirping little creatures, none of which I recognized. Scaly bodies, sharp gleaming teeth and an ugly mouth made these creatures retile- like. A sudden tremendous earth tremor fully awoke me. I looked up expecting to see a hypersonic plane darting through the jungle-like scene, but what I saw was a towering creature, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Why, I thought to myself, I must have travelled back into time instead of forward. My future studies were ruined! The stamping feet of the monster awoke me from my thoughts. I stumbled out of the dinosaur ' s path a hundredth of a second before he reached me. The creature attacked again. This time I was ready for him. Unbeknownst to the dinosaur, I was holding a cocked laser gun. An intensely concentrated yellowish-greenish beam of light made the monster fall down to the ground and stop breathing . I looked at the dinosaur. The six little creatures I had seen earlier were scampering all over the dead body, licking it and whining. I realized I had just killed the mother of 6 baby dinosaurs. The time machine had been crushed in the fight, so I could not return hom. I lay down to rest, thinking how enjoyable a life in this quiet, non-polluted world would be. I lay there, six dinosaurs by my side , waiting for time to pass by . - Scottie Ma AUSTRALIA V. SCOTLAND A Live Report by John Harvey The tension mounts, the fans silently await for the teams to come into view, then the first voice shouts, Here comes Scot- land! The Scottish supporters all cheer at the top of their voices while the Australian supporters boo. Then with a cry from an Australian supporter everyone is cheering because both teams are in sight. The kick-off is for the Scots, but soon Australia is in charge. An Australian number 13 called Dick Koala skilfully dribbles back over the half-way line, and then passes to David Sheep who turns toward his own goal in order to avoid a defender He taps the ball above his head, jumps up and over, his left foot making contact with the ball in midair. The ball goes flying faster than lightning towards the right hand comer of the goal with the Scottish goalkeeper, Ralph Hill, swooping just a millionth of a second too late behind it. David Sheep runs back into his own half where he is smothered with every Australian player upon him. No more goals are scored until after half-time. Australia has control of the ball and is moving up the line at an incredible speed. Su ddenly a defender from out of nowhere fouls Au- stralia ' s number 31, Michael Kangaroo. The foul is taken by Koala, who passes to Kangaroo. Kangaroo jumps up and down with the ball over all of the Scottish players and stops right in front of the goal. Ralph Hill makes himself ready while Kan- garoo takes three steps backwards. Number 31 takes two run- ning steps towards the ball, and kicks it with almighty force. The ball goes straight towards the goal keeper. The ball hits him and he and the ball fly into the goal. A doctor comes in with a couple of men carrying a stretcher, and Ralph Hill is taken to hospital in a coma. One of the defenders comes into goal and a sub comes into defence. With a minute to go the Scottish have a penalty when Kangaroo fouls a man in the box. The Australian goalkeeper. John Snake, tenses ready to save the goal while the Scottish forward, Ralph Snow, gets ready to kick. The penalty is taken, John Snake dives three feet into the air towards the left hand corner and saves it!!! The crowd roars and the whistle blow s for time. 29 Prize Winning Prose Winners in the Adderely Brothers Travel Essay Why I would like to go to New York Three years ago, I was in New York with my family.

He said it was presented to the United States by France in 1884 in commemeration of the two countries alliance in the Revolutionary War. We also went to the Empire State Building. It ' s one of the largest office buildings with over two million square feet of office space. The height of the building is 1,742 feet. But the one thing that stood out in my mind most of all, was the people that go to make up New York. The people playing violins, guitars and other instruments on the corners and outside theatres, the frantic people going to and from work, the girls with their multi-coloured hair and the different things that go to make New York such an exciting city. It is to see these people again and to see if anything has changed that I would like to go back to New York and spend more time there. - by James Lotherington 7S I would like to visit New York because it has huge toy shops like Toys ' R ' Us, and restaurants like McDonalds and Burger King so I can have milkshakes and hamburgers. I would like to go to the Empire State Building and the World Trade Towers (which is called the Twin Towers) for the wonderful view. I would go on a ferry boat to Manhattan island so I could see the Statue of Liberty. Then I would go to Central park so I could look at the Empire State Building from below, also I would play in the playground at the Park. I would like to go to New York on July 3rd so the next day I would be able to see the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty. Before it is unveiled I would like to see the tall ships sail past. I would also like to see the fireworks display. This is why I would like to visit The Big Apple City. - by Nicholas Strong J6A Many first-time visitors going to New York usually expect a grey, fast-going city with nothing to do but shop. Phooey! There ' s a lot to do. Here ' s a few things I ' d like to do. Take a hike in the Catskill mountains or go skiing there. Id take a tour through the winery at Finger Lakes and see how wine is made and bottled. Td take a swim on Long Island ' s sandy beach, then take a stroll through Chinatown. Id go trout fishing in a stream in the Adriondack Mountains. Td take a walk on Wall Street and see the hustel and bustle of the Stock Market. Td climb all the steps in the Statute of Liberty until I get to the top. Td visit the World Trade Center see New York from the top of it. Then Td go on a shopping spree at J.C. Penney or Sears or K. Mart or even Toys R ' Us. Ld go to Madison Suare Gardens and see some wrestling or bo.xing. That ' s why I want to visit New York. - Theodore Frames 6A 30 Christmas Story Contest Royal Gazette Ltd. The Christmas That Almost Wasn ' t It was Christmas Eve and all Bermudian children were in their beds sound asleep, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Christmas morning. Meanwhile, the Gibb ' s Hill lighthouse keeper was getting ready to go home to his family. All of a sudden, a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning came out of nowhere and scared the living daylights out of him. Then all of a sudden he heard bells, and he looked in the direction from which it was coming, and he found out that it was coming from the sky. Then he could not believe what he saw. There in the sky was a sled falling into the ocean! Then he realized who it was and called Harbour Radio and said Harbour Radio! Harbour Radio! Come in. This is the lighthouse. ' T read you, I read you. What ' s the problem? , came the reply. Man, you ain ' t gonna believe what I just saw, Then he told him what had happened, hardly believing it himself. Without hesitation he mustered a group of men with boats and they searched the waters where St. Nicholas had fallen, and they found no trace of life! Nearby, there were some men fishing and all of a sudden one of the men ' s rods bent and it was bending so much that they thought it was a whale. Then when they hauled it up they found St. Nicholas on their line ' . They laid him down on the deck of the boat and did mouth-to-mouth, and as soon as he awoke he said, Where are the presents? Then the men got scuba diving gear on and searched the bottom for the presents and luckily they found them all and gave them to St. Nicholas. Then St. Nicholas called his reindeer and flew off, and the next morning all the children of Bermuda received their gifts. Santa ' s Helpers A few years ago there were no names on roads and no numbers on the houses. The Bermudians knew their way around but strangers often got lost. The mailman knew his way around and knew where the houses were so at Christmas the people would get their cards on time. Two little birds, Cardi and Blue Streak, followed the mailman and knew all the adults, especially the children. (Cardi was a cardinal and, as you can guess. Blue Streak was Blue Bird.) One day they saw a bird from the North Pole. The bird was blown down by a strong wind. He told Cardi and Blue Streak about Santa ' s workshop. The bird said, My name is Snowy . Snowy told Cardi and Blue Streak all about Santa ' s troubles. Snowy said, Santa ' s got a bad headache and a sore back and he had a hard time finding the right places and the right houses . Cardi and Blue Streak offered to help Santa. They showed Santa where all the houses were the children lived were so they all got their presents and Santa had no headache. They helped every year until 1981 when Public Works put up signs and numbers. The birds lost their jobs then. But now they are thinking about the Christmas card business. - Richard Davsley 6A Room 206, Castle Harbour Skip the mouse lived in the Castle Harbour Hotel, Room 206, in the eastern side of the bedroom. Food supplies were very easy to get by means of the kitchen and crumbs at night from the Dining Room. Exercise was to swim in the pool and play tag in the bunkers and around the greens. One day bulldozers knocked down the eastern wall of the hotel and destroyed his home, and his family was buried under the rubble. Skip escaped and fled to the reception, where he stole his food from the workmens ' bags. He made his bed that night out of papers from the desk. In the morning he heard the hotel manager say that the hotel would reopen for Christmas. The next few weeks was all noise and bustle before Christmas. On Christmas Eve most of the guests began to arrive. One lady brought a Siamese cat called Wang, who noticed out of the comer of his eye Skip hiding in the Christmas tree. That night Wang sneaked out of his bedroom and chased Skip (who was terrified) into a big sack that was lying in the hallway. When Skip opened his eyes he saw all around him presents and in amongst them he saw a female mouse ca lled Betty. There was no time to say hello when the bag was picked up by a man in a red suit with a long white beard. They were bumped and jostled along the hallways. The old man finally stopped and opened a bedroom door and reached into the bag for a present and the mice were tumbled out onto the floor. When they finally regained con- sciousness. Skip realised that he was in room 206 and in the comer of the room was his old familiar front door. They both quickly scurried across the floor to Skip ' s old home. That morning the two mice celebrated their first Christmas together. - Alsadair Yoimie 6A Around the Year J4L Sue, the Lonely Tiger It was a beautiful spring day. The sky was spread for miles and miles. The sun was blocked out by the jungle ' s huge trees that towered over Sue. Sue was sad because all the other tigers had a mate, and she was still lonely without one. Sue, sat by the river and looked at her reflection waving in the fast running water, all of a sudden she heard a lonely male roaring on the other side of the river. She thought to herself, I must get across the river! One hour later she had finished carrying long pieces of wood and smartly laying them across the river to make a bridge. She started walking slowly across. Suddenly the bridge started to crack. The male tiger gave a great roar that could be heard for miles away. He sprinted forward and pulled her off the bridge. They ran off together and lived happily ever after. - by Mark Moran A great horned owl could eat all the rats and mice, help Daddy get fish, push the trolley in the supermarket, and get kites out of trees. - Britten est Hallowe ' en I was invited to a party at an old hospital where many people have died.

I stared with astonishment. Then they shouted, What ' s wrong with you? Do you have some cut threads? They laughed at the joke. That afternoon I was tying my lace when my other shoe ran off. I shouted, What ' s the big idea? The shoe yelled, Come and catch me! I picked up my dad ' s gun and shot at the shoe. Suddenly the gun laughed. I wondered, Is this thing going to talk to me, too? The gun spoke, Move one bit, and make my day! - Niel Jones Pets I think a toad would make a lovely pet.

But when I saw the toast saying, Help, Help! I fainted. Suddenly a drop of water dropped on me. I woke up. Then the toast said, Get me out of the water before I soak to death ! So what could I do? I picked him out of the water. He was soaked and all soggy. Then it said, Thank you very much. I could not believe that I was seeing or hearing. Then I said, Should I-I f-feed you to the birds? No! said the toast, Put me back in the toaster and then put me on the back of a zebra. Why on the back of a zebra? I said. Because, said the toast, it will smooth the skin of the animal. Well there are no zebras in the B.D.A. Rats, said the toast. Go ahead and feed me to the birds. - by Jean-Paul Dyer J4Z i • ' {( ' „ James Collie son Trevor Hedges Jean-Paul Dyer Ryan Sommerville Shelly The Mermaid and I One sunny day I was going to the beach to have a swim in the water and do many more things. When I got to the beach I saw millions of shells on the seashore. I picked up some of them and put them into my bucket to put in my collection of shells. When I got to the last shell lots of glittery rocks piled up and there was a mermaid on the rocks. I asked her what her name was and she said Shelly, and I said; My name is Billy. We had a lot of fun in the water but when we got out of the water I saw she had a tail. She said, If I get my tail warm it will turn into legs, so she lay in the sun for about an hour and the tail turned into legs. We went home and got her some clothes from my Mom ' s drawer and when we finished that I showed her around my house and introduced her to my family but I did not tell them that Shelly was a mermaid because Shelly wanted it to be kept a secret. One day Shelly said she had to go back to her family so I did not tell her she had to stay. I walked her to the beach ad she jumped into the water and we waved to each other - by Cameron Snaith J4Z The Mysterious Coat One day I was riding my BMX and saw a blue jacket lying on the road. It had twenty pockets on one side and fifty on the other and they were all made of platinum. It must have been over ten millions dollars. I was just about to pick it up when I saw a note. It said, Open any of these zippers and they will take you anywhere you want to go. Do not open the one on the left shoulder. It was signed Megelda, the Wild Witch . I picked it up. Suddenly it got cold so I put it on. I found a book called the Island of Naboombu. I remembered the note. I op ened a pocket and said in a firm, clear voice, Take me to the Island of Naboombu! Suddenly I was in a place ruled by plants. It was very strange. I was astonished. Next I heard a cedar talk to me. I almost fainted but I soon pulled myself together. Then I heard a rumbl- ing, I saw a gang of palm trees with helmets, shields and swords. I quickly put my jacket back on and put my hand in the same pocket and said: Take me into the Sea Laboon! Next I was swimming in a strange ocean. I saw a fish with a hat and cane. I put my hand in a different pocket and said, Get me out of here! Suddenly I heard a big BOOM! Then I realised what had happened. I thought the sun had blown up. On the note it said, Something will happen if you put your hand in the left hand pocket. Now I knew she meant something dreadful will happen. Then I noticed I wasn ' t dead. I popped my head above the surface and the island was gone. I realised the island had blown up instead. - by Ian Smith I Write to the Moon Dear Moon, Thank you for inviting Adam and me to you. We would like to come.

Your friend JEREMY. - by Jeremy Hammoiui J4Z 33 J5B moiny The Himalayan Mountains I was trudging through the freezing cold blanket of snow. The choking wind stung my eyes until they watered. I was climbing up the steep, breathless slope of Mt. Everest. I was with my friend James Thomson, the famous archaeologist and Robert Melotti, the well known painter who was painting a picture of the peak of Mt. Everest. I was a ranked tennis player who had won a trip to the peak of Mt. Everest in the U.S. Open Cham- pionships. We had been climbing for many hours up the non-ending hill of ice. We stopped on a little ledge for a rest and we looked across the mountains and saw Mt. Minya Konka, a beautiful snow capped mountain. After that, we put our regulators into our mouths and tightened the air valves on our air cylinders. We were high enough where the Himalayan air gets difficult to inhale. Suddenly we heard a distant rumbling sound. We soon recognized it as a thundering, cold avalanche. We quickly dug a deep hole in the snow, jumped in it and covered it up with huge lumps of snow. A few hours later the avalanche stopped. We dug our way out of the solid packed snow. Our throats were dry so we had a quick drink of Mountain Dew. Then we frantically climbed on. Soon we reached to top. I was thrilled! We stuck the Bermuda flag in the peak. We had won the highest land form on the face of the earth! - by David Dodwell 3e w j The Loch Ness Monster I am a marine biologist. I have a witty, clever, faithful assistant called Andrew. As a marine biologist I study marine animals. We are on a dangerous, important quest to find the Loch Ness Monster or ' Nessie ' (as she was called by the Scots). My assistant and I have travelled over 600 kms to the mystic lake of Scotland. As we clambered up to the high peak of a nearby steep hill we looked over the peak of the hill and saw the sun ' s warm waves of light glistening on the cold, murky depths of the Loch Ness. At dusk we set up our camp. I checked our equipment, also the gigantic bulge in my bag which was the most important piece in our precious equipment. It was a machine which recorded your movements once you switched it on. As the drawn broke: The day has come! said my assistant. For what? I asked. For going into the Loch! replied Andrew. I checked the equipment again. I think we ' re ready to go. As the sun rose into the heights of the blue cloudless sky we were entering the eerie depths of the Loch. We clambered into our iron diving suits that could survive the water pressure of 2000 km below sea level. I tried to walk, I couldn ' t move. My legs seemed to weigh a ton! This was because of the enormous lead weights strapped under the shoe. The weights are used to hold you onto the jagged rocks and ledges sticking out of the steep ground inside the gigantic lake. I was getting hot inside this suite of heavy armour. I yelled to my assistant over my transister microphone: Bring the equip- ment over!! He replied: I can ' t, it ' s too heavy!! I staggered over to the tent in my diving suit. Then I took it off, it was too stuffy in there I thought. I lent a hand to my assistant to get the equipment. We were back in our suits again. We were now ready to dive into the jet black waters of the Lake. It was cold in the waters of the Loch Ness. I struggled over to a ledge. We were at the depth of 1000 ft. I arrived at the ledge and creak! The ledge broke! Luckily Andrew was near at hand... Finally we gave up. We just couldn ' t find Nessie. As we closed up on the surface we caught a glimpse of the Loch Ness Mons- ter. It was a majestic sight. It was as sleek as a torpedo, fast as a speeding bullet, a slim, majestic body and glistening white fangs. It also had a long, thin tail about three quarters of it ' s own size!... As I got out of the water my assistant screeched over the transister microphone: I can ' t believe it! We ' re the first ones on earth to... Hav e you got the recorder? ... Oh NO!!! - Jeremy Lam 5B The EngHsh Book There was an old man from Hullabaloo He was a merchant, a pedlar and a weido too! He sold pots and pans and a shepherd ' s crook But his most valuable item was his English book. He would come up the mountainside yelling his trade, People would come out in a big parade, They ' d invite him in to have a look. The pedlar sold everything, except his English book. He would climb up trees and yodle-olde-000! Everyone thought that he was somewhat cuckoo. He ' d go down the mountainside But with him he took His little old English Book! b Robert Melotti JSP A.U The Great Sea The sea is turquoise and blue, green and grey. It changes its colour every day. Sometimes it ' s rough and sometimes it ' s smooth, But the constant sea is on the move. Deep below in the murky waters. That ' s where the fish have their living quarters. But wait! Man doesn ' t care. Man isn ' t fair. He throws his rubbish down into the ocean. The fish that have died are no longer in motion. But as the men clear this messy pollution. They have to try and find another solution. How I wish I was Jacques Cousteau And dive down to the deep sea below - To discover all the mysteries of the deep. To see all the animals at work, play and sleep. It ' s another world down there. Let ' s show the fish we really care. - hy Andrew J.C. Smith JSP The Great Plains Long and wide are the only words that describe the plain, From a leopard with a hide to a lion with a mane. The gazelle runs with ease While passing giant nearby trees. The lion with is roar so loud. He is king, and he is proud. Hot and dry are the only words that describe this season. Water holes dry up and leave the animals without reason. The vulture ' s time draws near. And the animals have great fear. Scavengers pick the bones so clean. Nothing is left of the life that has been. Great and black are the rainclouds that now appear. And all of the animals lose their fear. Water holes cover the plain. And migrating animals come back again. The young are bom and frisk and bound, As a new cycle comes arounds. Tornadoes Twirling, swirling, whirling wind On our roofs and streets within, Round the comer and up the bend, Never-ever will it end. And it hits all the houses, Down with people, dogs and mouses, Out goes lights and phones; Oh Dear! Everyone will suffer I fear. So until it goes out to sea, TORNADOES strike a fear in me. - bv Justin Kendall If I Ruled the World If I ruled the world, I ' d play golf every day. With Jack Nicklaus for my partner. We ' d win all the way. If I ruled the world, I ' d eat lots of chocolate pie. Ice cream and soda, And chips piled up so high. If I ruled the world, There ' d be no more school. Teachers ' boring lessons And lots of silly rules! If I ruled the world, There ' d be no more war. There would be peace forever, And ever, ever more.

I had tossed turned all night because I knew what awaited me the next morning, a DEN- TAL APPOINTMENT!!! Time to get up and go to the dentist, was the last phrase in the world I wanted to hear. As I reluctantly tried to get out of bed, my body wouldn ' t move. I thought out loud, My body is smarter than I am! After a few futile attempts, I finally man- aged to literally throw myself out of bed and get to the table where my breakfast was wait- ing. It is virtually impossible to eat breakfast when you are halluccinating that your orange juice is blood, and your scrambled eggs are teeth and gums. When we arrived at the wait- ing room, a man came through the door with a tissue, dripping with blood, in his hand. I started out the room when my mom pulled me back by my ear and told me to stay seated, so I made up my mind to take a calm approach to this whole matter, so I said out loug, I ' m goin ' to be calm and not fret at all. Zing, Zing, Zing, is what I heard and I realized that it was the dreaded dentist ' s drill. I ' d heard about those things before, and it really wasn ' t a good report. Next I heard an ear splitting scream, then I was sure I didn ' t want to go into that room! After that scream I had a vision of a child on the Rack, being stretched as far as he could go and a vampire standing over the boy, poking him with nee- dles and ... Next, said a female voice, in- terrupting my visions of torture. Then the horror struck me. The nurse was taking ME into the torture chamber, I mean the dentist ' s office!!

I imagined the blood ooz- ing dowm my chin and dripping onto my new shirt. I looked up at the dentist and he said, It ' s all right, nothing is going to happen that you will feel. I said, Except death? he laughed wickedly, I though, he must think I know the truth. Suddenly I felt cold metal clamps around my wrists and ankles. I was about to ask what was the meaning of this, when as if he were reading my mind he said in his strong Translyvanian accent, Safety precautions. We wouldn ' t want anyone to interfere now would we? I said, Oh yes we would ! Then I saw the excutioner, I mean the dentist, pick up a needle 6 inches in length and stared filling it with novacanie. I screamed. I screamed so loud that I thought that the windos would shatter. When I calmed down I noticed a dental mirror hanging in front of the dentist and when I looked in I only saw myself! Then as calmly and as quietly as I could I unlocked the clamps and tried to get to the door. When I reached the door, I accidentally stepped on a crumpled piece of paper. That blew it. He whirled around just in time to see me go mach 3 out the door, out the waiting room, into the garden, and down the driveway! I looked back to see if I had lost him, but he was still hot on my trail, so I accelerated and sped into my house, shut and locked the door, locked all the windows, got all the rice, garlic, and wooden crosses I could find and threw them all (at full force) at the door.

Who is going to destroy Bermuda? No- body wanted to because Bermuda is so quiet and peaceful. Therefore we had a draw out of a hat and my name was picked. First I got into the sauna to make me warm, then I went up to meet the cold air, and formed the dreaded tor- nado! Then I went at ramming speed (thirty mph), and twirled around at eight mph. At first I said I would wreck God ' s house, St. Marks Church. I ruined every thing in sight. Then I disappeared down to Hell again. The Devil said, You did not destroy much. Go back and destroy more! Then he said, These humans don ' t know anything about insurance - this is The Act of the DEVIL!, not God. This time I didn ' t have to got into the sauna, because the room was so hot with the Devil ' s fury. I met the cold air and made the tornado same as last time. I went back to the house of God and tore down a wall, I wrecked telephone poles, houses and then leaped to Devil ' s Challenger ' s out on the launchpad, Hurray! shouts the crowd.

That was the signal. Another set flew up into France ' s hot air and shot sparks. Old Carcassonne was an Ancient City that many people lived in. They were all celebrating Bastille day. And my parents and I and my cousin were grouped on a hill watching, with fifty other people. A ' Starry Night ' went up screaming blue murder and shooting sparks. Then a dozen tiny specks flew into the sky and burst. We thought them boring until they became multicolored flowers, hovering about! Everyone said ' Ooooh! ' A helicopter was hovering too close. Its punishment was getting bombarded by ' Monkey Crackers! ' Then inside the Castle ' s ancient tower, people began throwing a waterfall of ' Gloworms ' and a sheet of them blanketed Carcassonne! I became so excited that I sat on a very spiny French thistle. I hardly noticed its long, brown prickles because searchlights suddenly trained on the city. Their controllers put sheets of red plastic on the light bulbs and as a result, their light went orange. The city shown like the sun! Then, to finish the show a massive machine-gun fire of flower-fireworks were up. The perfromance finished. The fun didn ' t. Later in the day we had brought a sack of fireworks. We made a super show of our own! Then we retreated back to the boat on the canal. Some drunkards had been throwing spuds at it, and it was late that night before we slept ... and dreamt of fireworks! The Mischievous Monkey A spine chilling scream came from my living room and a large bang. I rushed to see what the problem was and all that greeted me was the monkey ' s cage on the floor and a broken door hinge. I thought of the monkey. Quickly I rushed to the kitchen, but just as I reached it, a brown object slipped out of the window, it had been feeding time, and the food I had rested on the counter was now gone. I rushed outside and started throwing peanuts and shouting to Oscar. I got no reply. Quickly I rang the local radio station and asked for a lost announcement for Oscar. One and a half blocks away, Oscar was running wild. People were running and screaming as the wild and vicious looking monkey ran and laughed. Quite soon he reached a intersection. He jumped from one side causing a car to jam on its breaks. Unfortunately his brakes weren ' t working right so it rammed into another car. Oscar, who had been taught to laugh, laughed and kept running. Angry car owners were soon after him. But quite fast and suddenly he was gone. The people gave up hope, and left leaving the rest to the police. The police were soon on the job. That night, the monkey broke into a home. He jumped around and finally found the kitchen. He pulled open the fridge and searched vainly. Suddenly a lady came down and screamed. The monkey, full of excitement, pulled everything out of the fridge. The lady grabbed a stick and started chasing it. It ran knocking everythin in its path down and excaped. Next door was a grocery store. He slipped in and searched. This time his search wasn ' t so hard. He found lots and lots of bananas. He quietly sat on a counter and peeled, and peeled and peeled. Finally he decided it was time to go. He walked slowly to where he entered, it was sealed! In panic he jumped on the aisles, ran knocking everything down in his path. He was on top of an aisle when suddenly he fell. When he awoke, the manager came with police galore. He opened the door and Oscar ran out and was caught immediately and returned. The store manager was not pleased with the mess, but said it was okay.

The people are friendly, they make you feel welcome, but I feel in my heart, that I have to say, I love a sunburnt country, so far away. Her rugged mountain ranges, her droughts and flooded plains, her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me. — by Nathan Skinner Mark Adams WAR The sky was filled with aricraft of all types, weapons armed, waiting for their turn to destroy targets below. Army troops wandered the streets with gloom flickering in their eyes. Dug- outs were being dug near street corners. Tanks rolled down the roads and alleyways pulling behind them anti-aircraft guns. Bombers, getting lower by the minute, circled the city like gnats. The heavy equipment was stationed in the outer limites of the city, whilst others were near the center. A red mist came over the horizon glowing with radioactivity. Machine guns pivoted into tank ' s outer coating while gre- nades were being set on the underside of them. People were falling like twigs in a hurricane. The city was doomed. Migs came in on bombing tours destroying every house or shelter one by one. Men knelt stone still amidst the rapid firing guns as not to miss their targets with their bazookas. Most of these targets were never hit because the rockets never left the bazooka. The bazooka soldiers were shot in the crossfire. Total destruction was soon to come. White dots were seen on the horizon. The missiles - by James Legere Patrick Murdoch TORNADO I was in my bedroom lying on my bed reading a book called The Mystery of the Howling Cave. I heard a howling sound so got up and looked outside. I said to myself, Looks like there is going to be a little storm . All of a sudden I remem- bered that I had to go down and get some medicine at the drug store. I would have to go all the way from St. David ' s to Smith ' s, so I decided to stay. My wife walked in and said, I just heard that a tornado touched down in Smith ' s. Did they say were it was going? I asked. No they didn ' t, She replied. I turned the radio on and listened. I heard David Lopes say A second tornado has just touched down in St. David ' s . St. Davids! I exclaimed. Get downstairs! I shouted. I felt the house rumble. SWOOSH! The roof was ripped off. The door was blown down as if someone had just pushed it down. Then there was complete silence and I got up and looked outside and there were trees that were uprooted and cracked to pieces like broken match sticks. Ring! Ring! Went the phone. Hello, I answered. Hi, this is your next door neighbor Mr. Henshaw. Hi, I replied. I was wondering if you could help me get my boat back, it has come loose! he asked. Sure, I replied. I shouted to my wife and son, Could you please cover the roof with the tarp. It ' s in the shed? Okay! she shouted. I got into the car and drove down to the harbour. I spotted a drifting boat, so we got out of the car and grabbed a punt and started to row towards the boat, the force of the wind was hard to beat, but we finally reached it. We didn ' t have to paddle back 39 because the wind took us in. I got back in the car and drove back to our house . I found a big blue tarp over the roof when I reached home. I walked in and found everything cleaned up. Let ' s take a ride around the Island to see what dam- age was done. I said. We hopped in the car, and went up McGalls hill and saw that one of the sides of Saint Marks church had been blown down. We also went to Tucker ' s Town and Mid Ocean Club was ruined. The golf course was ripped to pieces, hole numbers one. five and sixteen were totalled. Trees were flung all over the golf course. When we got home we called the roof man, and he came over in a big blue tuck and said, I ' ll get right on it! .A few guys jumped on the roof and started to bring slates and cement up. In fi e hours they were finished. I wrote out a cheque and handed it to hiin. By the end of the month the Island was practically back to normal. - ;v Krisiophcr Taji Junior Club Activities 1985-1986 Mrs. Thompson Browne shows members of the Surprise Club how to produce beautiful writing.

Last November a small mountain of soil, donated by Mrs. West, appeared outside of the Science Lab. For weeks groaning boys flexed their muscles dragging and dumping buckets of soil around the walls of the Junior Department. This was the beginning of our flower beds. Keen gardeners donated plants and many, many lunchtimes to planting and watering. To raise money for much needed equipment the old Trash Pagoda was transformed into a potting shed, and over 100 plants were grown for sale for Mother ' s Day. All this hard work paid off when our flowers won 3 Thirds, 4 Seconds and 3 First Prize ribbons at the Agricultural Show, giving the school valueable points, and helping to win the Sir Edwin Leather Trophy. We hope to do even better next year. The Keen gardeners are: 5P - Shimon Alkon, Rhys Baptiste, Andrew Barrow. Michael Branco, Chris Burns, Andrew Butterworth, Geoffrey Hindess.

All The Children of the Junior School. SALTUS JUNIOR ARM COMMITTEE OF 25 sainjs ;u 4 0B schoO ' -. 1986 On May 1st, Mr. Don Evans, Chairman of the Committee of 25, presented this plaque to the Saltus Junior Arm. Mrs. Will- iams accepted it on behalf of past and present boys and staff who participated in all the various fund-riasing activities over the past 14 years. LETTERS FROM THE SALTUS JUNIOR ARM OF THE COMMITTEE OF 25 Dear Mr. Evans Members of the Committee of 25 Thank you very much for the brass plaque. We are going to put it outside Miss Wilkie ' s office so that everyone can appreicate it. The School was surprised when we saw a photographer and we were very excited when you presented Mrs. Williams with the plaque. In the future we will try to raise even more money for the Committee of 25. - by Andrew Riker J6W We really appreciate the thoughtfulness of presenting our school with a beautiful brass plaque. It was an honour to help the Committee of 25. In the future we will keep up the good work to help handicapped children. - by Marcus Wells J6W We would also like to thank Miss Brohr for coming. When the picture is in the paper, it might make other people help too. - by Justin Griffiths J6W I will try my best to make one child a little less fortunate than I, feel happy. - by Timothy Lee J6W To help 1 sold many ' Bermuda As We See It ' books and tags. We promise to work hard when we are in J7. We are going to do a project in the future and 1 know that project will be very exciting too! - by Magnus Henagulph J6W 42 A transitional year for the P. E. Games prog- ramme at the Junior Department. Several new sports, and a much more varied curriculum, have been introduced. Sport and recreation are very much a part of modem society and it is, therefore, important that children are offered as diversified a curriculum as possi- ble. Nevertheless, it is also important that you do not become so diversified that you lose purpose and direction. A great deal of thought and planning has gone into organiz- ing what my colleagues and 1 feel is a well balanced programme. 1 am sure that the end result will be greater levels of enjoyment for the boys. It proved to be a relatively successful year for us in inter-school sports. As usual, the swim meets were the first competitions of the year and, as usual, we totally dominated both events. Saltus has a wealth of talent in this sport, as many of our pupils are regular swimmers with local clubs. Victories were achieved by N. Swain, A. Smith, A. Taft, J. Cook, S. Maranzana and G. Mewett in the individual events. These, coupled with numerous second and third places, secured the trophy. In the relay meet as many boys as possible were given a swim, and yet we still managed to achieve a comfortable vic- tory over Port Royal. Apart from those al- ready mentioned, the swim team consisted of M. Bartley, J. Bean, M. Boden, A. But- terworth, S. Collier, D. Dodwell, T. Fergu- son, M. Henagulph, J. Rewalt and T. Sher- ratt. Well done all of you! Throughout the soccer season, the boys worked on their skills and competitiveness. Without a doubt, the Saturday Soccer Club has helped improve the overall standard of junior soccer. The boys are eager to learn, but are sometimes reluctant to work suffi- ciently hard on the drills which will, eventu- ally, improve their performance on the field, to coin an old phrase, ' practice makes per- fect ' - Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable sea- son. For the first time in several years, our 6-a-side A team reached the finals by finishing top of their zone league ahead of West Pembroke, Dellwood and Mount St. Agnes. At the National Stadium, on a hot day in November, the team performed credit- ably, against tough opponents, to finish fourth overall. The squad consisted of N. Browne, T. Corday, M. Kane, T. Outer- beidge, M. Randall, N. Skinner, B. Sommer- ville, R. Steinhoff and A. Younie. The B team didn ' t quite make the finals, but always played hard and were unlucky to lose two of their games by narrow margins. The remain- ing members of the soccer squad were J. Harvey, N. Him, J. Ingham, K. Madeiros, G. Mewett, P. Rans and P. Singleton. In the 9-a-side soccer league. West Pem- broke proved to be far too organized and aggressive for us, inflicting two quite heavy defeats. When the going got a little bit tough I ' m afraid we were guilty of shying away rather than competing on an equal level. I am sure we learnt a lot from those two matches. Against Dellwood, we drew twice in games that we really should have won. Lastly, against M.S. A., we played well to achieve two victories. Although soccer is a team game, I feel that special mention must be made of certain individuals. Nathan Skin- ner is a talented footballer and was a great asset to the team throughout the season. Ter- ence Corday operated in central mid-field and provided a steadying influence in moments of crisis. Finally, Mark Randall began the season as a reluctant keeper, fancying himself as a bit of a striker. But, as the season wore on, he performed with increasing confidence and competence, producing some excellent saves in true ' Shilton ' fashion. The cross-country season proved to be an interesting one. Dion Woolridge, Julian Wheddon, Geri Mewett and Tafari Outer- bridge all performed well at the national championship, However, it was the inter- house event which provided the most excit- 43 ment. Each boy competed for house points during P.E. lessons. The best twelve runners from each house, in both junior and senior categories, then competed for the trophy. Dion Wooldridge won the junior event, clos ely followed by Andrew Davis and Paul Coleman. In the senior event we had an in- triguing tactical battle between Geri Mewett, Tafari Outerbridge and Nathan Skinner. Out- erbridge set the initial pace but, when it came to the ' kick ' . Skinner left the other two for dead, in the sprint for the line Mewett just manged to beat Outerbridge for second place. However, cross-country isn ' t just about the winners as ten runners from each house count. In the end the results were as follows: Without a doubt, the highlight of the year was Sports Day. Almost every boy in the school competed and therefore contributed to their house score. After the field events, the position was as follows: Watlington were in fourth position. Butter- field and Saltus shared second place, but Dar- rell were in the lead by a narrow margin. However, the situation changed dramatically on Sports Day with the ' Watlington Machine ' destroying all-comers. It ' s interesting to note how Watlington came from fourth place to win the trophy by a significant margin, hav- ing been 17 points adrift prior to the day. The final points score was as follows: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Butterfield Watlington Saltus Darrell 340 points 363 points 484 points 488 points 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Watlington Darrell Saltus Butterfield 419 points 367 points 347 points 343 points There were some notable individual perfor- mances. Tafari Outerbridge won this three in- dividual year events, plus the open 1500 m, and was awarded the Victor Ludorum. Dion Woolridge was named the Junior Champion for his superb display on the track. During the national chamionship, Dion achieved two silver mdeals and a bronze, and was con- sequently asked to represent Bermuda in the 200m and long jump at an international meet in Boston. Well done Dion! Keith Bridges also performed well at the national champion- ship, achieving sixth place in the shot-putt. Next year will see the introduction of two new house competitions in basketball and cricket. We are also hoping to begin the year with an inter-house swimming gala. With the arrival of our new equipment order, I ' m con- fident that we can look forward to a competi- tive and enjoyable sporting year. 6-a-Side A Squad - 1985 J6 Cricket Practice - or it is some ancient tribal rite.

' Hot Lunches - come and get it! 45 This has been a very busy year for the music department, especially as far as the school choir has been concerned. The choir boys, chosen from J6 and J7 have displayed remark- able ability in part singing, and due to the parental support which we enjoy in Saltus, have sung in public on many occasions throughout the year. At Christmas time they combined with the school orchestra, recorder group and selected soloists in a full-scale con- cert aided by members of the drama club. In the Easter Term, with completely new repertoire, we repeated our efforts, this time in St. John ' s Church, Pembroke, where we raised $800 for the church organ fund. The choir has also performed at the Cathedral this year, and more recently, again at St. John ' s Church, as part of their Heritage Fair. Saltus choir boys achieve a very high stan- dard of performance. In an English choir school, with seventeen hours each week de- voted to vocal studies, we compare with forty minutes timetabled weekly. Obviously, in order to compete, even remotely, with the standards of singing possible in specialist schools in the United Kingdom, the boys here must be prepared to sacrifice a tremendous amount of their own time. This they do will- ingly, at lunch break and after school, and I am very proud of their stamina and dedica- tion. Seventy boys passed the Theory Examina- tions of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. (Grade 1 - Grade 4). Ex- 46 ternal examinations are very important in my estimation, particularly in a small place like Bermuda. Here, it is very easy to assess one- self, and appear to be doing remarkably well by island standards. In the larger world out- side, these internal standards can mean next to nothing. Similary, I was very happy to see that se- venteen boys had passed the Practical Exami- nations of the Royal Schools of Music. There is probably no greater self discipline in the world as that imposed by a practical musical study. Congratulations to those boys who had the staying power required to achieve suc- cess. The J4 and J5 recorder players have made good progress this year, and selected groups have played regularly in assembly. 1 am happy that so many boys have purchased their own recorders. Not only is this important for personal practice, but in the interest of hygiene it is quite essential. The music department could not function without the support of many individuals, the staff of the junior department, particularly Mr. Stewart Adams who has helped on every occasion with the considerable organization involved, the instrumental teachers, Mr. Drummond, The Menuhin Foundation, Mr. Lyle Van Wie, and of course, the parents of the school. Thank you all very much for your wonderful encouragement throughout the year. - Marjorie Pettit THEORY EXAMINATIONS OF THE ROYAL SCHOOLS OF MUSIC GRADE ONE Shimon Alkon Jason Brummet Steven Cardwell Sean Collier David Dodwell Theodore Francis Simon Jackson Evan Killick 1 Alexander Leonard Seth Lowe Michael Mello Douglas Parker Alexander Rollin Colm Singleton Michael Starling James Thomson Rhys Baptiste Andrew Butterwroth David Charron Matthew Davies Jean-Paul Dyer Geoffrey Hindess Wayne Jones Jeremy Lam Richard Lines Keith Madeiros Robert Melotti Jonathon Quinn Thomas Sherratt Andrew Smith Nicholas Strong Marcus Wells Christin Butterfield Kieron Campbell Jonathon Cassidy Matthew De Costa Ronnie Farag Jonathon Ingham Justin Kendall Jason Leman Mark Lomas Michael Maughan Tafari Outerbridge Yuri Richards R obin Simmons David Smith Ronnie Terceira Anthony Wright GRADE TWO Marc Boden Daniel Gresham James Hubbard Andrew Riker Alisdair Younie Adam Booth Steven Hardy Robin Lang Giovanni Simon Nicholas Fagundo Magnus Henagulph George Masters Robert Steinhoff GRADE THREE Adam Booth John Harvey Nicholas Pettit Douglas De Couto Christian Luntzer William Young Dennis Fagundo Geri Mewett GRADE FOUR Nicholas Pettit THE ASSOCIATED BOARD OF THE ROYAL SCHOOLS OF MUSIC PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS Piano - Grade One Douglas de Couto (Merit) James Hubbard (Merit) George Masters ((Distinction) Robin Simmons Giovanni Simon (Merit) Piano - Grade Two Geri Mewett Piano - Grade Three James Thomson (Distinction) Flute - Grade Three Christopher Heinike Magnus Henagulph Music Prizes 1986 Junior (Instrumental) Robert Melotti 5B Junior (Musicianship) James Thomson 5B Senior (Musicianship) William Youns 7A Trumpet - Grade Three Sean Collier William Young Violin - Grade One David Dodwell (Merit) Robin Land (Merit) Robin Simmons (Merit) Violin - Grade Three Nicholas Pettit Flute - Grade Four James Hubbard (Merit) James Leman The Music Scholarship, this year, was awarded to Nicholas Pettit. 7A. 47 CHRISTMAS CONCERT 1985 CHRISTMAS CONCERT 1985 This year, as our late presentation of Smike seemed to be of sucii recent memory, it was decided to give a concert at the end of term rather than a major musical production. As things turned out, this proved to be a fortuitous decision, as Mr. Adams was forced to leave the Island at the critical moment. While the dramatic side of the concert undoubtedly missed the Adam ' s flair much intense rehearsing produced an even- ing of talented performances in instrumental, singing and coral- speaking items, in which approximately three-quarters of the school took part.

Again, our thanks to the J7 class mothers who organised a most successful competition, (apart from the weather).

Much to the dehght of the boys ' taste buds, we continued the ever- popular Class Sales on Tuesdays, Donuts on Fridays, and the bote luch program throughout the year. As always, refreshments were served at numerous school functions such as Sports Day, concerts and parents meetings. In December, boys and Mums worked together doing a super job collecting used toys for distribution to various needy groups such as the Hospitals, Social Services, and a number of children ' s Homes. Spring, brought on the Easter Competition which was once again a tre- mendous success. Looking at the displays of decorated cakes and floral arrangements, we certainly do have an artistic group of boys in the Junior School! Funds that were raised have been well spent on much needed curtains for several classrooms, a new slide projector, and an Epidiascope (Don ' t feel ignorant . . .

FAREWELL AND WELCOME Mr. Brian Dilar Mr. Ken Sleeman Mr. Robert Logie Mr. Alan Boardman 52 FROM THE HEAD BOY: HEAD BOY REPORT 1985-86 I recall saying at the start of the year, ' Til be glad when its all over. Now as we collect our exam results and calmly wait for graduation day to approach I find myself somehow starting to regret that final day of school. For the end of senior year represents the end of an era, not just for me but for all of the senior year students. For this year represents change. Change not only in schools but in ideas, feelings, and most of all, lifestyles. As we move on to higher forms of education we make the progression from teenagers to young men and women and this means that the world will no longer treat us like children. We will suddenly be given responsibilites and tasks that we have never had to deal with before. This is one reason that senior year has played such a vital role in the preparation for the future. It has given all of us a chance to experience the trials and tribulations of ' growing up ' . The staff at both schools have given their guidance and wisdom that is so important at this crucial period in our lives and for this all the senior year are grateful. Senior year gave us all a chance to experience happiness, sadness, joy, and anger. As old friends were lost, new, lasting friendships took their place. Though there are a lot of things I ' m sure we ' ll want to forget there are more meaningful memories which will last forever. Henry Schyler Dowling - Head Boy 1985-86 Schyler Dowling and B.H.S. Head Girl Anna Pereira - Organizers of Senior Year ' s Fashion ' 86. I ' ve always had a goal — top teen AT age 17, Schyler Dowling is already wearing success as if it was tailor-made for him. He has topped every category he has entered, an achieve- ment recognised when he was selected Outstanding Teen of the Year during the annual Teen Conference last weekend. I thought it was a great honour, he said. It is nice for people to look at you and see the achievement that you have done in your life. My phone just hasn ' t stopped ringing. Schyler, a Saltus Grammar School student, received a special recognition prize at last year ' s conference. In Decem- ber, he was declared Candy Striper of the Year for his four years of work at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. 53 He is wait- ing now to hear whether he has been accepted at the University of Toronto, where he hopes to pursue his studies to be- come an or- thopaedic sur- geon. The son of a St. George ' s cycle livery owner, Schyler credits his parents for in- stilling in him his ambition. ■ ' They taught me, he said. I have always had a goal, and 1 have always tried to achieve it. I haven ' t fallen off yet. While he has always want- ed to study medicine, he be- came intrigued by or- thopaedics when he spent two summers working at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. I fotyid it ffiscinating, he said. It deals with so many parts of the body. And I like being able to help people. His homework keeps him busy, but he does find some time to pursue his hobbies of playing the piano and wood- working. He recently made a pool table for his father. But he feels high school is Schyler Dowling: Praise for parents not a time to pursue leisure time or a social life, but ' an important time to make decisions. A lot of kids my age aren ' t sure what they want to do. I ' m what you might call the odd man out, said Schyler, who feels one ot the worst teenage influences to overcome is peer pressure. If I had advice to give other teens, I would tell them to settle down. A lot of people missed out in life be- cause they didn ' t take ad- vantage of the opportunities given to them. he said.

Over 130 singers and instrumen- talists took part in a varied and interesting programme of Christ- mas music. Band camp took place the week before the concert and it proved yet again that practice makes perfect - well, almost. Thanks again to Tricia Cooper, Sandra Amos and Sacha Sim- mons plus a willing band of helpers for their organization of the food for this. To feed 60 students over a 24 hour period is no easy task and one that I do not take for granted. The Saltus Concert Society presented 3 recitals this year and I was pleased with the uniformly high standard, the middle concert, held in February, was more student orientated than before and it gave Mr. Drummond ' s woodwind ensemble a chance to be heard in public. For some two terms, about 20 students gave up Saturday afternoons to rehearse. The results were most gratifying and I would like to extend my thanks to Mr. Drummond for his time, patience and skill in adding another facet to the boys ' musical experience. The School Brass Quintet also contributred to this concert and it was pleasing to see some of the senior players performing with Lyle Van Wie ' s professional show band. To the musicians from The Menuhin Foundation plus the adult performers, another word of thanks for their support of these recitals. One in particular, David Evans, will have left the island before this is published but his contribution to Saltus and the island as a whole has been most praiseworthy. The exam results speak for themselves but particularly good are Patrick Cooper ' s, Simon Draycott ' s and Marcus Ker- mode ' s, all reflecting a sense of commitment and dedication.

ENGLISH This year in our English class with our form teacher, Mrs. Gregorson, we did many interesting things. We took a trip to the Royal Gazette where we found out where and with what machines the daily paper is printed. Three books, Shane , A Pattern of Roses and The Guardians were the three books that we read in the duration of the year. Shane was a fast-paced western that the whole class enjoyed. A Pattern of Roses was a st ory about a boy and a ghost. This book was not as well-liked as Shane , but it was a good book. The Guardians was about a boy leaving the civilized world to go to the country. The movies Shane and Farenheit 451 were rented and watched. Farenheit 451 was based on the same principle as The Guardians which took place in the future where books were banned. Both were breaks from adverbial and demonstrative clauses and phrases. 2G Real Estate, newspaper, advertise- ments, bookcovers and telegrams were a fun part of English, and everybody thoroughly enjoyed them, and the high marks that came with them! For the Real Estate, we had to advertise houses for sale by drawing and describing them as if they were real houses. The newspapers were just newspapers that we devised and designed ourselves. The advertise- ments were crazy things that, if de- scribed properly could be sold. They ranged from toilets in the shape of frogs to remote control shoes. The book covers were adequate covers for the book Shane . The telegrams were humour- ous that were addressed to anyone. All in all, this year was fun, interesting and exciting. - M.

Eleven boys from the 3rd and 4th Forms will make up the party to be led by myself and my wife. The aim is to give the pupils the chance to see a country and a culture so very different from that of Bermuda, to acquire a taste for things French, and above all to practise the language which suddenly becomes excitingly more real outside a classroom! Both the outward and return journeys will take us through London, with Paris being the first major stop. This unique and brilliant city will be our base for six days, during which time we will take in the main sights, and it will be from Paris that we shall embark on a couple of train journeys, firstly to Ver- sailles and then to Epemay in the heart of Champagne. We will celebrate our arrival in Normandy on July 14th.: Bastille Day in Bayeux. Two days there will give us the opportunity to see the famous tapestry, and to cycle to the coast to visit the D-Day landing beaches. The French capital, the French countryside and a small pro- vincial town should provide a broad range of impressions which, if anything like those of my first taste of France, will stay with the boys for a very long time. Watch this space in the 1987 Saltus Year Book for a student ' s account of the trip. -B. Shore IJ GEOGRAPHY FIELD-TRIP As an extension to our classroom work Mrs. Wrigley took form IJ on a geography field-trip along South Shore during May to study the various features and processes at work along Bermuda ' s coastline. We walked from Warwick Long Bay to Horseshoe Bay mak- ing observations and taking notes and phtographs of such fea- tures as cliffs, beaches, boilers, caves, arches and stacks. At certain points, such as Jobson Cove and Chaplin Bay we stopped to learn about the rocks of Bermuda, how Bermuda originated millions of years ago, about the effects of the Ice Ages and the growth pattern of vegetation on the surrounding sand dunes. We conducted experiments to investigate longshore drift by throwing objects into the water and measur- ing to see how far, and in what direction they moved. We observed the change in tide levels and calculated the height, the frequency and distance travelled by the incoming waves in order to tell whether they were of the constructive or destructive type. Despite the fact that we returned with tired feet, notes we could hardly read, plants we had forgotten the names of and pictures of waving arms instead of rocks and cliffs, it was an interesting trip and we appreciated having the opportunity to observe the work of the sea first-hand instead of studying it in a textbook.

We chased my hat half way down the runway. My Gel exploded. Mrs. Gregorson took a ride on a toboggan, without brakes. That guy collapsed at the airport and then asked what time it was. We walked around Spain twice without suitcases looking for the right metro at 6 o ' clock in the morning. We all stood up on the skating-rink for two minutes.

' 69 SCIENCE AT SALTUS Aran McKittrick, Michael Cunngton and jriend! Keith Rowntree and Andre Zanol Marco Azaro using the cathode ray oscilloscope Although the external examination results have been excellentl over the last few years, examination success is by no means the only concern in the Science department. The aim is to give every boy a broad science education which equips him to func- tion successfully in the modem world, whilst at the same time providing an in depth study for those intending to specialize in this field. The students are encouraged to think for themselves and take responsiblity for their actions, which is particularly evident in the practical aspect of all courses. Recent additions to the department include a laser, a solar furnace, microwave apparatus and six new microscopes which allow both experimentation and demonstration of techniques essential in a rapidly developing subject. Safety awareness is an integral part of the practical course and students are required to conform to stated standards in the laboratory. The photographs show practical sessions in the three subject areas with a variety of equipment in use.

The wide variety of sports enables pupils to easily complete this section, whilst musical activities and various other clubs make for an efficient com- pletion of the skills section. Many outside agencies and individuals organise the service section of The Scheme. The Bermudian Fire Service, Dr. Steele of The Endsmeet Animal Hospital, and Sergeant Dunleavy of the Police Service have all given their time and expertise to help boys complete the service to the community section. The expedition is always a popular activity which proves to be more difficult than most boys anticipate. While navigation presents little bother to the boys, hot weather can often make walking with a pack exhausting, some boys fail to make pre-arranged contacts with their assessor or to behave in a responsible manner once they have set up camp, which can create problems. Self discipline is the order of the day and without this the candidate will not succeed. Six boys, Jamie Cornes, Chris Dunn, Drew Douglas, Brian Huxley, Tom Chasser and Andrew Pettit received their Silver Awards whilst eleven boys, Fraser Allen, Noel Capewell, Sean Dunleavy, William Davidson, Brian Huxley, Robbie McRonald, Aran McKittrick, Mark North, Jonathan Paradine, Richard Lowry and Ian Walker received their Bronze Awards from The Governor at a Government House ceremony in June. Six boys are going to Algonquin Park in Canada in July to complete their Gold Expedition which involves a 50 mile hike with three over- night camps. This will be a demanding undertaking where resource- fulness, navigational skill, determination and above all self discipline are at a premium. A fund raising venture involved assisting The Bermuda National Trust by moving mounds of logs at Verdmont House and a Trashathon at Spittal Pond. A special thanks is due to the many individuals and local firms who generously supported the boys with donations . - Mr. J. Solliss ( D . ofE. Co-ordinator atS.G.S.) f ' lrst Alders in Action!

It was as if I had finally reached the top of the ladder and someone had pushed me right back down to the bottom rung. It seems like you just got comfortable in a system when they change the rules and you have to start all over again. I was scared and nervous. This was it, Saltus Senior School. Those first few days were really difficult, and by the end of the week I was totally confused. So many new things were floating around in my head and I didn ' t know what to do with them. Out with the old rules and in with the new. No more desks, now it was lockers. Goodbye recs , now it was optimaes . Even our grades changed, now we get quarter marks instead of place cards every half-term. What was it all? I needed a direction manual and a map. The classes were spread all over the place, not only on one floor, but two floors in one building and another whole wing. Help! I did not know how I would survive those five days. The weeks passed and thing were gradually slowing down, but I still got confused sometimes. I could never quite figure out which of the rooms geography was in or where the physics lab was but, like a sponge, my mind was slowly soaking it all in. Tests were constantly around the comer and there was always the problem of do I have all my books ' ? I had thought I knew what work meant, but I was beginning to realise I had not even scratched the surface. Years ago, I remember being glad when I got to play the clarinet. Now I was having second thoughts. Suddenly 1 was in the orchestra which was fine if you don ' t mind not knowing what you are doing. How could I play the music when I could not even follow it? I decided maybe I was in the wrong room, wrong school, maybe even the wrong life. Is this really necessary? Oh no, I forgot my tie. Oh well, picking up trash is not exactly my idea of a fun lunch hour but I lived through it. Maybe I could sew my tie to my collar. Mr. Janes ended the week by giving us a history project, will half-term ever come? Quarter mark time was approaching so exams were piling in over my head. So much to learn and so little brain to shove it in! Organi- zation seems to be the key to Saltus but the problem is how do you get that organized? Having tried several different methods, I still have not figured it out. If the weekends were a day longer and two more hours were added on to the evenings, I think I could manage. Eight weeks have passed and my life has certainly changed. I am going to Saltus to get an education and it is definitely giving me one. There are only twenty-eight weeks and two days left until summer! - by Joel Froomkin Philosopher: Greg Lovell, Senior Year THE STRANGER Abstract Portrait: Geoff Parker, Senior 3H When he first arrived, most members of the community ignored his presence, their everyday habits did not intersect with his comings and goings. In the beginning, he moved about cautiously, for the nature of his surroundings were so curious as to create a sense of fearless dominion. From areas of intense cold to equally intense heat; from dense jungles to open prairie; from high mountain peaks to deep ocean basins, this land stretched on seemingly to infinity and because his spirit was thus, he began to explore. During his first explorations, he came to realise that he was not alone in this wilderness. His excursions took him beyond several boundaries, and he was confronted every time by those who had been living in the community long before him. so, he began to learn and understand each individually. He began to recognise their boundaries and avoid crossing them, and set his own. He gained intelligence. Slowly, he expanded his territory, taking possession of land owned by members lesser than himself, for they were weaker and far less intelligent. However, they did manage to remain where they were, though in vastly smaller numbers. They managed to form a relationship with him, but avoided him as much as possible. His own in-born abilities were great, but no match for some mem- bers, so he learned to wield weapons. At first crude, harmless sticks and stones, he advanced his weapons rapidly until he was virtually invincible. He gained cunning. With his weapons, he took on those stronger members. He killed many of them. They began to fear him. He forced them out of their territories, all their snarling, unintelligent masses. He was master of a world of strangers, but he had the advantages of his natural abilities to overcome the other members. His size increased to immense proportions while others decreased. He spread across the land, becoming more intelligent, learning more and finally upgrading himself to his highest level possible. Then he encountered Space. - by M. Showers, Senior 4R THE SEA The sound of birds filled the quiet, lifeless air. The sea was lapping slowly and without effort at the dock. Besides these few gentle waves the sea was stagnant. It was one of those days when the slightest noise could be heard; it was a day of peace and tranquility. Fish moved about the water lazily, without a care in the world. The sun was high, and it sparkled on the water. There was not a cloud to be seen anywhere. It looked as is it would never rain. This was a tN pical summer day. The wind howled as the rain lashed across the water. Dark clouds dumped rain everywhere. Lightning streaked across the sk ' in a zig-zag, followed immediately by long, loud claps of thunder. The waves rose at least 10 feet over the dock, and then smashed down upon it; the dock was certainly taking a beating. The sea was full ol menacing white-caps; was it ever calm? There w ere no fish ioda , and even if there were, they couldn ' t be seen at all. There u.is no sun in the sky only those threatening clouds. This w as ,i t pica! w inter dav. - b Guy Hanislwrc, Senior IJ Time of Change As I look back on my life, I am immediately aware that it is changing. Two days are never the same; tomorrow never comes. I can remember myself as a young teenager who considered everything a game and took absolutely nothing seriously. In my early teens, I was very secure and extremely naive. I was very predictable, because nothing really bothered me. As a result, my moods reflected this. I must admit that I was a bit spoilt and on numerous occasions I became angry, mainly because I could not get my own way. When my f ather left home, all that changed. No longer was I carefree and happy. The very foundation of my life was shattered. Until then, the protective umbrella my father had carried gave me security. Now that it was gone, I did not know what I was going to do. As time went on, I noticed distinct changes in my personality. I became moody, withdrawn and argumentative, simply because the prospect of life without my father ' s care seemed daunting. I did not know what to do , and I feel that at that point I was most vulnerable . What happened to me, happens to many people of my age. We go through the wonders of childhood thinking the world is our playground, our parents are loving and understanding at that point; when we reach adolescence they seem to take a back seat or leave all together. This I find very strange. There is no other period in a person ' s life that is fi lled with more conflict and heartbreak than adolescence. I am sure many other teenagers will agree with me. It seems that, once started, things only get worse. As we get older we are confronted by drugs, love and terrors of examinations; all govern our moods. Looking at my life, I have found that reading and playing sports were good ways to deal with my problems. I also found that writing was another good avenue. My message to all teenagers is imply this: Many of the things which go wrong in our lives are beyond our control. I can vouch for that. The problem is that, at the time that they happen, you are at the most vulnerable stage. Being human, it is only natural to be withdrawn, afraid, and angry. When the pressure of my mother ' s pessimism, and the shock of my father ' s untimely departure got the better of me, I did become withdrawn and defensive; this solves nothing, and self pity only makes the situation worse. It was then that I found reading a most acceptable escape route. I would go to the bookstore and buy a book and sit in a corner and read it until I was finished. By reading, I was able to be whatever I wanted to be; I could let my imagination wander between the pages and by doing this I forgot my troubles. To be honest, this worked for me but there are many who would find it hard to do this; to them I. say - try sports! Find a game at which you excel or which you like very much and go for it! You will find that it will take up your time and energy and you will, in many cases, be too tired to argue or be withdrawn. There are those who do not like to read and who do not enjoy sports but who have problems which make them moody and anti-social. This may be for many varied reasons: the failure of an examination, the break up of a relationship, maybe the world seems to be caving in around them. It is not fair that you should have to go through things like this alone. It is not easy to talk to an adult because of the age difference and also because adults generally are ignorant of our prob- lems: as such they cannot understand why our moods change as often as the weather. To overcome this problem writing is the best alternative. This may sound strange, but it worked for me. My advice is that when something goes wrong, that causes you to be angry, write it down. Be honest about it and analyse it carefully. Write about how you feel, your reaction to the problem, your reasons for the v ay you acted. Having committed this to paper, organise it in a time sequence, beginning with how you felt before the incident. Having done this, keep it. You will find this the best method since you will be able to see yourself in a totally different light. The solutions which I have given are practical, and are solutions which I have found to work. Adolescence is but a stage in life ' s immense journey; each of us is travelling along an irretraceable path. Our moods govern our thinking and our thinking governs our lives. If we can govern our moods we will all live better lives. - by John Burchall, Senior 4W Figure Study: Charles Dowling, Senior Year Dark Rider: Greg Lovell, Senior Year FEAR Trembling, I pulled my legs up to my chest. The shadows were growing in my Mind. The howling wind sang An ominous dirge Accompanied by the rhythmic pelting Of rain And the irregular creaking of wood. I lowered my legs and Loosened my grip on the book. Reassuring myself that there was Nothing to fear. The shadows seemed to flee The wind whispered, The creaking was silent. Relaxing again, I began to read my book. What was that noise . . . ? 74 by C. Dunleavy IJ THE WALL OF DEATH Susan stretched out on her back, took, a deep breath, and began her psychic exercise. She began by staring at the ceiling, then concentrating on one tile, then on one spot, each time slowing down her breathing until it was only the slightest whisper. She remained this way until her heartbeat was cut down to a mere twenty beats per minute, until her skin colour had paled to a mild Caucasian. Gradually, she switched-off her senses, beginning w ith sound. The persistent humming of ventilation equipment, the solitary rubber soles squeaking in the corridor, the distant throb of traffic - all blended into nothingness. Similarly did she block her other senses. When her body had been totally desensitized, floating in space, she began the inward movement. In her mind, she opened the first gate and stepped through. This was followed by another, and another. Through each she passed, feeling her aura-self becoming freer and freer. At first, Susan felt she was totally alone. There was nothing else but her and the gates - which were only a presence anyway. However, she came upon the first of her psychical gates just two minutes into the movement. It was a dog, as she interpreted it. Of course, there was not really a dog there, just a presence of DOG. She could not tell if it was one dog in particular, or a culmination of dogs she had seen, or just the word DOG, but it was there. From here, were a number of gates, rather than just one, and now she had to choose. Aura-memories from previous movements bec- koned her and she decided to press on. The next gate was GIRL, then HOUSE, then WHEEL. When she had a choice she always pressed on, delving deeper and deeper into her conscious. At length, she came to a mid-point, where she could either continue or turn back. For the first time she could remember, there was no longing to return to her conscious self. Before, she had always submit- ted to this urge, but now - well, now she would continue. Three hours passed, during which she experimented, tasted, smelled -through her aura-self - each gate she came upon, slowly, she realized that this was her sub-conscious mind she travelled through. She dis- covered things, about herself, that she had never heard of before. She came upon her premature E.S.P., which was like a small child needing nourishment and care. When she came to the wall, she tried to skip it, intending to come back to it, but there was nothing after it - or it was blocking her from going further. The wall was a definite thing, incredibly large. Her aura-hands ventured over its face, discerning its smoothness. Suddenly she felt the crack, and, as she touched it, the crack became a hole running up the middle of the wall. She felt elation when she realized there was something beyond the wall, but the elation dwindled when she saw it was her own body lying on that bed in the hospital. What is this wall? she thought. Why does it let me through? Susan stepped through the hole she had made, and her aura leapt outwards with a genuine feeling of being free. It was free, she r ealized. There were no more connections with her body. She could compare this feeling to being a spirit. She turned around wanting to go back, and saw that the hole was gone and the wall was again solid. She realized she had stepped too far. This was DEATH, and there was no way back. - by M.

Stretching its limbs Tentatively. The fire was born ... Gathering strength and confidence The flames grew fiercer. Consuming the coals Ravenously. Hungry, Groping, They reached outwards for sustinence. The fire was growing ... I rolled a piece of paper And tossed it into the fire. The golden tentacles of flame Ensnared their prey. I watched sadistically As the unfortunate victim Writhed and contorted in agony. Turning dark. The paper skeleton. Charred and dying. Twitched, Under the mercy of the leaping Flames, All-powerful.

The forbidding, rain-washed house stood silently as the vehicle vanished over the crest of the hill , devoid of life save its sole occupant, who stood staring out of a darkened window at the disappearing spectacle. He dared not move. The slightest breath, the minutest movement, would bring the hordes of atrocities bearing down upon him. A thousand thousand devils formed from shadows, but refused to remain under his searching eye. Parched and dry as he was, his arms and legs refused to move at his command. Fighting against the malevolent beasts, the figure rose tentatively and shuffled along to the enormous, ominous structure which housed relief. What demons lurked behind the protective aluminium doors? What monsters would be disturbed from their slumber? He waited for an eternity before this unjustified fear itself caused him to wrench open the door and expose his vulnera- bility. No demons flew, no ogres or trolls or goblins, no claws, teeth or hands, not even a pair of blood-red eyes; simply some milk, cheese, meat and a few large, half-empty bottles of soda. After quenching his thirst, the boy lit a single, wavering flame on a candle and sealed the light source on a plate with hot wax. Next, placing this strategically along the pitch-coloured hallway, he made his way with care, but no longer apprehension, back to the couch. Sweat which had formed on his brow rapidly dried and left. His heartbeat was now almost norm.al, and the absolute, all-consuming terror now dwindled to a discomforting, slightly nauseating tingle in the stomach. Reason now was a loud, scorning cry showing the foolish- ness of that fear. It has been irrational to jump at shadows, to cower at creaking floorboards, to leap at pattering rain. Chuckling, he lay back deeper into the soft cushions. What was that? His blood rushed from his head. Was that the pad of feet? His hands trembled. Was that the creak of unoiled hinges? Sweat again broke out on his face and palms. Was that the low, scraping sound of a key in a lock? Now the lunatic fear returned, only a thousandfold stronger. Again his body failed him, as did his voice. The uncontrollable terror had a vice-like grip on him which there was no escape. Slowly, the door opened. j I Gollum: Greg Lovell, Senior Year i Winged Attack i I walked down to the citrus ; To collect oranges for our morning fruit juice. | As my foot slowly descended i Into her territory, ' And it sloshed upon the dewy grass, | She swooped, I Shrieking insanely. An ever-enlarging black T j Against a pale orange sky. j Like a shot, I ducked, i And the heaving moans j Of wind j Rushed past my head. j She disappeared. | As my eyes scanned the surrounding region, , They detected the mother.

The mother turned to me. Realized I still posed a threat, And began her second attack. Her kamikaze dive began, Screeching, screaming, Like an out-of-control siren. I fled. Hands clutching the back of my head. Towards the haven Of the citrus. The bird ceased her chase And returned to her nest.

The gate was locked. I fumbled through my nine pockets, and managed to pull the key from the ninth pocket, chocolate bar wrappers and pieces of paper flying off in the wind. The gate finally opened. The main door opened easily enough, and the dog was almost successful in ploughing through me. At last I made it into the house, my shoulder was aching and my satchel was heavy enough to inflate the ego of any weightlifter. ' What a day! I thought, and dismally realized it was to become no better. And all the while the thought of History, Paper I, tomorrow reverb- erated through my brain: Eight months of hard, tedious work was culminated in a three hour examination; starting tomorrow. The house was silent, the winter evening beginning to darken its interior. I trudged up the stairs, and into my bedroom. The curtains were drawn, and the coldness of the room was emphasised by the death-like darkness. The pile of history books lay on the comer of my desk. I looked at them, breathing shallowly, desperately wishing that this whole experience was some awful nightmare ... The pile is moving slowly toward me, and I try to run, yet my feet are anchored to the floor. The books float off my desk, suspended in mid-air, whilst I crawl slowly but I am not fast enough, for the books become closer and closer. Images of Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini and Churchill flash before me and the books open revealing a Nazi executioner, complete with machine gun, and ... The door slammed down below, tearing me from my daydream. The footsteps went to the refrigerator: it had to be my sister. I walked to my desk and turned the light on, its false sunshine casting no hope on the prospect of my examination. My history books, lay innocently on the corner of the desk, and it was almost as if my gloom was centered around those six, little, exercise books. Maybe it did! I flung my satchel into the corner of my room and leapt onto my bed and gazed at the ceiling. So your examination is tomorrow, my conscience told me, You haven ' t studied and you deserve to fail, but you don ' t have to, it continued, just study! it finished. With new found vigour, I jumped off the bed. The radio was tempting me, but I left it off. I sat down at my desk, and opened the first exercise book. Hitler ' s Foreign Policy looked up at me, and it might as well have been written in German! -byC. Maclntyre S4R THE THING Great movie, wasn ' t it? the father encouraged. Would have been better if Kyle could have made it, was the boy ' s reply. Not at all surprised by his son ' s reaction, the father made a second futile effort to make light conversation. Yes, he seemed a nice boy from what I heard, but people do move away you know, you ' ll make more friends. They drove along in silence for a while, the father becoming a little irritated by his son ' s refusal to snap out of his mood. Kyle could do magic tricks, the boy muttered into his chest ignoring the sigh of frustration that his father could not repress. The man shifted in his seat. Hey, did you see that! Unenthusiastically his son grunted, What, raising his head slightly to see what had attracted his father ' s attention. The man ' s eyes were focused on the sky, intrigued by a crescent of light arising across the blackness of the night. Curiosity turned to awe as the metalic ball weaving the luminous trail hesitated purposefully and dropped down- wards in a controlled fall. What was that ... thing? the boy stammered. It wasn ' t a shooting star, was the father ' s reply, completely at a loss, too confused to notice his son ' s sudden alertness. The man pulled the car up to the side of the lane and turned off the headlights. Hesitantly, the father and son stepped out of the vehicle and walked across the wasteland to where the ' Thing ' had come to rest. Saucer-like in appearance the featureless ship sat beckoningly on the charred grass. Its engines smouldered as it had reached its destination, a sphere of lights and furies laying dormant before the beholders. The man put out a hand as the boy stepped forward growing threaten- ingly close to the object. As if by magic a portion of the ship ' s hull opened like a drawbridge formerly invisible to the human eye. The father ' s words of warning went unheeded as his son walked trancelike towards the entrance. A distorted shadow started to limp down the stairway, a twisted, gnarled mockery of the form. With a grotesquely painful movement it lifted its mis-shapen head and fixed its glowing, unearthly red eyes on the boy. The child ' s face brightened in joyful recognition. Kyle - you came back! ... - liy C. Ditnleavy SIJ 78 1 HE QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE ... Saltiis is rightly regarded as an academic school. Its success in exter- nal examinations is envied throughout the island, yet putting together these sports pages makes me realise that for a comparatively small senior school we have a wealth of talent in the sport- ing Held that enables us to compete in every sport on the island and to dominate some as well; an example being our nine year winning streak in inter-school swimming. This year is no exception - we have performed well in junior soccer, senior basketball, tennis, hockey, badminton, cricket ... the list is end- less. Craig Morbey has qualified for the Commonwealth Games and Barrie King represented Bermuda in the Carifta Games. Perhaps being a small school helps: our teams tend to work well together and players are involved in lots of different sports. I have cho- sen four of our best athletes to high- light this year and you will see from their involvement that their years at Saltus have not only given them a good acadmic education, but the op- portunity to develop athletic skills in virtually every sport available. Sports day is probably the high point of the sports calendar and this year showed once more the calibre of athlete at Saltus. The photographs show the determination, courage, en- joyment and pain that the day is all about. Finally a mention of the staff, ably led by Mr. Jon Beard, nearly every member of staff has an involvement in inter-school or inter-house sport. They stay behind night after night to coach, referee, organize or just watch sport at Saltus. Maybe this is the sec- ret of our success? Whatever the reason, the Saltus team will continue in its quest for all round excellence!!

They started off with two good victories against Northlands and St. George ' s, and then lost narrowly to Crawford, Whitney and Warwick Sec. A considerable number of injuries saw a somewhat weakened side play Warwick Academy - a game in which we were well beaten. It is to the team ' s credit that they rallied well after this defeat and recorded draws against Sandys Secondary and Berkeley, before defeating the staff in an enjoyable game. The team was well led by Devrae Noel-Simmons who often performed heroics in goal, and was the team ' s selection for the Paul Handsley MVP trophy. An early season injury of Andre Zanol meant that Keith Hodgkins was forced to play sweeper — a job he did very well, in front of him Ranee and Douglas did fine jobs as stoppers. Clarke, Timmins and Bissell improved every game at full back. The mid-field was well led by Jon Rego who received fine support from Morbey, Marshall and sometimes Timmins. An injury to the acrobatic Derek Joaquin left us a little weak up front, but all the players used gave a good account of themselves: Simons, Young, Smith, Francis, and sometimes Marshall. How- ever, they could have found the net a little more with the chances created (possibly Anthony Francis can elucidate!!) Overall, it was a pleasing season, and bodes well for the future. Colours: Re-awarded: Noel-Simmons, Francis, Morbey, Clarke, Hodgkins, Timmins, Rego. New: Bissell, Marshall, Simons, Smith. Football is a game of skill; we kicked them a bit and they kicked us a bit GRAHAM ROBERTS INTERMEDIATE SOCCER This was very much a season of learning from mistakes and develop ing from individuals into a team. We had a collection of very young Inter- mediates this year (almost all Second Year boys - only Alami-Merrouni was left from the successful 1984-85 squad), and sheer physique gave many of our opponents a psychological advantage before the kick-off. All ten fixtures were lost, many by heavy de- ficits, but I am pleased to say that the players were quick to lick their wounds and. were prepared to go out and improve next time. Training was well attended, and the enthusiasm was still evident at the end of the season when I was encouraged to organize a Skills Contest, eventually won by our top goal-scorer, John Richmond. Martin Morris captained the side well in a dif- ficult three months, and despite the disappointing results, I am sure that the players gained a great deal from the season, and that basically the same squad will be stronger and eager to give a better account of themselves next September.

Devrae Noel-Simmons in action SALTUS JUNIORS REACH FINAL Geoff Redmond (capt.) sweeps past a Sandys defender Saltus Junior XI JUNIOR SOCCER This proved to be the best season in recent years for the Junior Soccer XI who began in fine style with a convincing 7-1 victory over North- lands. In the second game of the season Saltus went 1-0 ahead against Whitney Institute before losing a very close and exciting match 3-1 We then defeated the Junior School 4-2 before losing to both Warwick Secondary and Sandys Secondary by 4-0. The school later defeated Berekeley Institute 2-1 in an interesting dress-rehearsal for the B.S.S.F. Cup Semi-final to be played against the same team at Barnard Park. In the semi-final game, Saltus showed great determination and strength of character in recovery from a 1-0 half-time deficit to end up deserved winners 3-1 with spectacular goals coming from Colwyn Burchall and Bobby Pratt. The highlight of the season was, of course, our trip to National Stadium to play a strong Sandys Secondary side in the Cup Final. Sandys played all the football in the first half and raced to a 5-0 lead at half time with some well taken goals. It is to the credit of our boys that they were able to give a very good account of themselves in the second half playing some attractive attacking soccer that was eventu- ally rewarded with a goal from the penalty spot, scored by Bobby Pratt, to make the final score a respectable 5-1. The final match of the season saw IB edge past IJ to take the first year soccer trophy in a closely fought game. Success this season was a result of the hard work and improved level of individual skill of our players, many of whom had graduated from the most valuable Saturday morning soccer programme at the Saltus Junior School. The players also trained hard after school and at lunchtimes and our thanks goes to Mr. Beard for his assistance and expertise in this area. The team was most ably captained by Geoffrey Redmond who led by example and could be relied upon to give 100% at all imes. Special mention should also be made of Andrew McDowall who, as central defender, let very little get past him. Team members included:- Dwayne Trott, Mark Booth, Adam Tufts, Kamal Showers, Bobby Pratt, Chris Smith, Spencer Moss, Ryon Outerbridge, Colwyn Bur- chall, Patrick Head, Matthew Ringer, Bobby Rego, Chris Madeiros, Trann Simpson, Derek Davis and Guy Hamshere. As a number of these players will still be Juniors next year we are looking forward to another good season. - hv Mr. David J. Ross {Coach) 83 AQUATICS SWIMMING Our swim team once again started our competitive year off by winning the inter-school meet. This being the ninth successive year we have done so: winning all three age groups in commanding style. The teams also dominated the Warwick Academy relay meet . Craig Morbey did an excellent job as captain, and is to be particularly commended for represent- ing Bermuda in the Commonwealth Games, a mar- vellous tribute to his hard work in the pool. Colours; Re-awarded: Craig Morbey, Scott Amos. New: Tom Chasser, Drew Douglas. Craig Morbey will represent Bermuda in the 1986 Commonwealth Games. Photos below, in order Sea cubs and Sea tigers in action Sea cubs modelling the latest beachwear The Saltus team at the Warwick relay meet SEA TIGERS ROAR BUT SEA CUBS ONLY MEOW After three years of playing together, the Sea Tigers have developed into a finely tuned machine with the ability to systematically defeat their opposition. Their enthusiasm and will to win sometimes got the better of them which resulted in some over robust play on occasions for which the price was paid in terms of penalty shots an pool exclu- sions. The newly formed Sea Cubs improved as the season progressed and what they lacked in experi- ence they made up for with enthusiasm. Most of the Sea Cubs are first years and it is hoped that with further practice they will become as much a force to be reckoned with as the Sea Tigers. The Sea Cubs played two spirited games against the Warwick Academy team, both of which ended in defeat. More accurate passing and positiong would have undoubtably helped The Cubs. The second game was especially close with The Cubs losing four goals to five. The Sea Tigers won both of their games against a very skillful Warwick Academy side, with some excellent goal keeping on both sides. It is hoped that the small band of enthusiastic players will put more effort into water polo and less into splashing their coach next season! SEA TIGERS P. Cooper (Captain), D. Bray, A. Redmond, C.

GL iDYS HAD MOT REALIZED THAT VIRGINIA WAS UNA3LE TO ACCEPT BEF£AT GRAC£FULLV The victorious Saltus swim team RUGBY ii WB m A special type oj h SENIORS The schoolboys fifteen-a-side game has reached a rather sorry state in Bermuda. Saltus was really the only school who appeared capable of producing full teams. Consequently, much of the rugby term was de- voted to sevens practice in preparation for the Whit- ney Sevens Competition in February. (One full fifteen-a-side game was started, versus Warwick Academy, but with Saltus leading 24 points to nil after twelve minutes, the game was abandoned.) At the Twenty-Sixth Annual Whitney Sevens, the Saltus under 17 teams won all of their games, and therefore faced each other in the final. In an excellent game, which was a great credit to both teams, the B side came away with a narrow victory. Colours were awarded to: Dyson, Douglas, Redmond. Despite the lack of opposition at senior fifteens level, a squad of over 20 boys was prepared to train hard, twice a week. Credit should go to those boys. It is a great shame that their considerable efforts should have been, for the most part, in vain. My thanks to Patrick Cooper for all his work as Captain, to Mr. Beard for his support, and to Mr. Evans for his help with the coaching. Here ' s hoping for a fuller fixture list next season. - Mr. R.M. Raistrick The opposition at the final whistle! iinioi Si I urn Draycott to Manual A good tackle Lyle Douglas gets ready to kick Jeremy Wright over the bar for two points!! 85 JUNIORS Ably led by Draycott, the ' A team played some lively rugby with strong running by the backs. Warwick Academy proved too strong for us on both occasions, but a very pleasing 12-0 win was recorded against Whitney Institute. The B team consisted of many inexperienced players, but their games were always exciting and the boys developed their skills considerably. With a fine win over Warwick Academy and a well earned draw with Whitney Institute, the team, cap- tained by Wheddon, can feel well pleased with their efforts. The Whitney 7 ' s competition saw the Under 13 teams perform gallantly, the ' B ' team losing in the semi-final and the ' A ' team being defeated by a strong Whitney team in the final. This enthusiastic squad of players learned and developed skills very quickly this season and the school can look forward to able representatives on the rugby field in the years ahead. - Mr. D. Harrison BADMINTON SALTUS - BERMUDA ' S BADMINTON CHAMPIONS 1986! This was undoubtedly the best badminton season in many years at Saltus. The Badminton Club met once or twice a week for the entire Easter Term, and was well attended, especially by a large group of enthusiastic First and Second Form players. Not only were they keen, but many have developed their talents and look good long-term prospects. We played two matches against Warwick Academy, winning both, in preparation for the Bermuda Schools Championship, held this year at Saltus rather than at B.A.A., at the end of March. Our players gave an excellent account of them- selves, and those reaching the Semi-final stage of the tournament were:- Junior Singles: McDowall, Redmond. Junior Doubles: Outerbridge, Red- mond. Inter. Singles: Howard. Inter. Doubles: Baylay, Capewell. Senior Singles: Timmins, Hod- son. Norman Timmins and Andrew Bissell reached the Final of the Senior Doubles, but were beaten by the top pair from Warwick Academy. The best performances came in the Junior events, where Spencer Moss won the Singles, and then teamed up with Patrick Head to carry off the Doubles title as well. These victories boosted our overall points tally, so that the schools ' scores at the end of the Championships saw Warwick Third, Berkeley sec- ond and Saltus first. Capitalizing on this victory and the swell of interest in the sport, I organized a Saltus tomament for the early weeks of the Summer Term. This was an intensely competitive event, and eventually the winners emerged: Junior champion:- Andrew McDowell, Runner-up: Spencer Moss Inter- mediate champion: Graham Foster. Runner-up: Paul Johnson. - Mr. B. Shore SENIOR BASKETBALL The senior team this year again started out with great promise and beat all the weaker teams, some- times with ease and sometimes with great diffi- culty. But when we measure whether or not the season has been successful it all depends on your performance against the top sides i.e. M.S. A. War- wick Academy and Chaffee. So ... How did we do? We beat M.S. A. once in the running clock competition but they beat us twice once in the league and once in the island wide tournament .semi final. Warwick beat us every time we played them, we could never match their sustained consis- tency. We beat Chaffee the only time we played them and this was undoubtedly our best perfor- mance of the season. If we had played like that all season we would have been unstoppable! Next year we should do well. We retain Jon Rego, Jon Cooper, Drew Douglas from the starting line up and we may well pick up some quality players from the Senior Year Programme. Norman Timmins will be our point guard and he has con- siderable experience. If we can control our game we will be a force to be reckoned with. JUNIOR BASKETBALL The junior side were not as successful as their senior counterparts, but were a pleasure to coach, and improved with every game. They finished the season having beaten Whitney and Northlands and having very close games against Warwick Academy and M.S. A. The squad included: Monty Hamill (capt.), Fraser Allen, Matthew Brewer, Stanley Harris, Pedrito Hernandez, Peter Hind, Robbie McRonald, Joshua Howard, Partick Head, Adam Tufts, Spencer Moss, Paul Johnson. HOUSE BASKETBALL Darrell won the senior competition quite convinc- ingly, while Butterfield took the junior title with ease. Both sides were made up of a number of school players and thus had a clear advantage over their enthusiastic rivals Jon Rego - This years M.V.P. chosen by the other players. ® , TENNIS Two enjoyable matches against very strong school teams on tour from the United States quickly put our tennis players through their paces at the end of March and gave us much to aspire to in the ensuing season, which began in earnest after the Easter vacation. The school again had teams in both the Junior and Senior divisions of the B.S.S.F. tennis league during the summer term and, whilst neither finished as champions, both gave good accounts of themselves and thoroughly enjoyed the tough competition. The under- 14 team, led by Steven Spencer- Arscott and Joshua Howard, lost to a talented War- wick Academy side 5-1 before convincingly beat- ing Northlands 6-0 and narrowly losing a very close match against Chaffee 29 games to 25 (after sets were tied at 3 all). Team members also in- cluded Jason Semos and two promising newcomers to the Senior School, Patrick Head and Andrew ® . McDowall. At senior level the vastly improved Norman Timmins led by example at the number one spot and contested several close and exciting matches. Norman ' s best performance was a most creditable 6-4 win over the experienced Guy Periz of War- wick Academy. Unfortunately the rest of the squad lacked match practice and the competitive edge and Saltus lost out to both Warwick Academy and Chaffee. Team members included Dirk Scheland, Craig Waterman, Monty Hamill, Ewan Cheyne and Craig Morbey. This year also saw the renaissance of the Saltus singles championships at under 14 and senior level . Play took place throughout the summer term and at time of writing Steven Spencer-Arscott and Joshua Howard look likely finalists in the under 14 competition whilst Norman Timmins should meet either Ewan Cheyne or Dirk Scheland in the senior final. - Mr. David J .

CROSS-COUNTRY INTER-SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY We enjoyed a successful inter-school cross-country meet. At Junior level our side finished runners-up. Our highest placed finisher was Spencer Moss in 9th place; but such was the team effort that all the others finished close behind him. This effort was seen again only a few weeks ago when the majority of the team repeated this situation and won their divisions of the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Club ' s race. At the intermediate level, another excellent team perfonnance saw the team finish in 3rd place. John Richmond was the highest placed finisher for us. Our Seniors also worked together to finish in 2nd place. Sean Simons finished in 2nd place in the race, Norman Timmins 9th, and the rest very close behind; but for Barrie King being knocked over we could well have finished in 1st place overall. Last year Barrie got lost on the course, and so hopefully, next year will be third time lucky. He is at present repre- senting Bermuda in the Carifta Games. We hope that one of his infamous accidents does not befall him, and that he returns with a medal! Our Junior Team was: Moss, Titterton, Ashton, Draycott, C. Smith, Outerbridge, Brace and Head. Our Inter-Team was: McPhee, Richmond, Hernan- dez, R. Smith, Manuel, Semos, and Simmons. Our Senior Team was: King, Simons, Zanol, Bur- chall, Timmins, Payne, Hubbard and Bissell. — At inter-house level some keen competition saw very competitive races. Spencer Moss won the Junior race with a new record. 2nd was Greg Titterton and 3rd was Michael Ashton. Hugh McPhee won the Inter-race. 2nd was John Richmond and 3rd was Ped- rito Hernandez. The Senior race was won by Barrie King who set a new course record, 2nd was Norman Timmins and 3rd was John Burchall. The winning Junior house was Watlington. Butter- field won the Inter and Watlington the Senior. The overall house winner was Watlington. Mr. V. Evans - Rugby supremo; leading by example! A number of boys performed admi- raly at the Inter-school track and field event, held this year at White Hill Field. In the junior division, Brian Bennett won the discus and the javelin and placed third in the shot where he set a new school record. Robin smith was the school ' s best performer at U.15 level, placing 4th in the 200 metres. . Many of our seniors did very well. Barrie King was 1st in the 3000m and 3rd in the 1500m. Sean Simons was 3rd in the 1500m and Andrew Ranee 2nd in the discus. Norman Timmins and Craig Morbey took good places in the javelin and long jump and An- thony Fracis won the pole vault. Craig Morbey was also 3rd in this event and 3rd in the triple jump setting a new school record. Barrie King went on to qualify for the Carifta games where he placed 6th in the 5000m. At the beginning of the year, three teams entered the SNICKERS relay, held at N.A.S. Bermuda. The teams are shown above and all gave a good account of themselves. 87 VOLLEYBALL VOLLEYBALL This years ' senior side had been play- ing volleyball together since the sec- ond form, and so it was only fitting that they should finish the season as champions of the league and tourna- ment. This, is in fact, our third league title. Jonathan Rego led the team super- bly both on and off the court, proving to be a very steady.player. The setting of Francis, Clarke and King enabled Rego, Timmins, Cooper J. and Hodgkins to make the best use of spikes and volleys. Two very notable games were those against Warwick Academy. In the league game we came back from 10- 14 down in the last game to win; and in the tournament we had to beat them without conceding more than six points to win the title. The fact that they won 15-2 is testament to consis- tent play and real determination to win (and who can forget Coop ' s winning spike in that last game!!) The senior ' B ' side also did very well, winning the league and finishing as runners up in the tournament. At junior level the hard work put in by the team, led by Fraser Allen, saw the ' A ' side win the league, and the ' B ' side, led by Mark Nash, win their league and the tournament. Players included: Fraser Allen, Monty Hamill, Robbie McRonald, Paul Johnson, Pedrito Hernandez, Stanley Harris, Matthew Brewer. Joshua Howard, Mark Nash, Sebas- tian Pedro, John Richmond, David Oliveira, Patrick Head and Geoffrey Redmond. Above: The boys are taught to be very competitive at Saltus.

You will recall that our team ' s lack of practice together has been the secret of their success: perhaps we are becoming too familiar with the game! In this double eliminator tournament we lost twice to Berkeley and we were successful in overcoming both St. George ' s and Northlands. In the final anaylsis Berkeley were the winning team. We shall be struggling to practice even more infrequently than we have ever done in an attempt to recapture our giant- killing form.

RICHIE BEI AUD SENIOR CRICKET REPORT The cricket programme at Saltus has continued to improve this year, even if the inter-school results are some- what patchy, with more games being played and more boys becoming in- volved in the various inter-school, inter-house and inter-form matches. The new cricket wicket has proved a success and the removal of some un- dergrowth at the south side of the field has produced a playing area more con- ducive to learning and appreciating the art of cricket. First XI This year was a short season with only 4 matches being played. The team was a very young one with only 3 senior players, Francis, Joaquin and Noel-Simmons, and ' therefore lacked both the experience and stature to cope with the opposition. In the first match against Robert Crawford the school ' s bowlers, except Joaquin, gave away far too many runs to give our batsman a realistic target. Only Bissell, somewhat expensively late in the innings managed to pick up wic- kets and finish with 4 for 42. As a result, the target of 174 was never approached and the school ground to 99 for 9 in their allotted 25 overs. The second game against Berkeley followed on from the previous batting display as the school slowly amassed 102 runs. With the first three wickets falling for only 15 runs a reasonable score was never likely to be achieved and only Francis, who pushed and nudged for 27 while wickets fell cheaply at the other end, enabled the 100 to be passed. The inability of the school ' s batsmen to cope with some accurate pace bowling had once again been the school ' s downfall. Despite some good bowling from Noel-Sim- mons, Berkeley duly passed the school ' s total for the loss of onJy 3 wickets. The team ' s performance against St. George ' s was the best of the year the game swung either way many times during the afternoon {and early evening) and was finally lost in the last over. By far the best bowling per- formance of the season restricted St. George ' s to 120 all out in their 25 overs with Francis, Burchall and Noel-Simmons each returning good figures. The School ' s early scoring in reply was slowed by an accurate pace attack and the 50 was only finally passed in the 15th over. Noel-Sim- mons and Francis then pushed the score along into the eighties and a brief final flourish by Joaquin almost won the game for the school who fell 4 runs short at the end of 25 overs. Once again the school had the Old Boys in early trouble during the An- nual Founders Day Match. A hostile opening spell by Joaquin, ably backed up by Burchall soon reduced the Old Boys to 40 for 4 but an excellent partnership between Dexter Smith, 104 retired, and Barry DeCouto 86, put the score beyond the schools abil- ity to reply to a target of 261. The school could do little more than play for a draw when faced with a target of 9 or more an over. Eventually the almost traditional draw of recent years was reached. The following boys have rep- resented the First XI: Joaquin (Capt.), Noel-Simmons, Francis, Burchall, Bissell, Young, Rabain, Richmond, Jones, Pringle, Griffiths, Smith, Tyrell, Ranee, Harris. The Most Improved Cricketer this year was Sherwin Jones.. Results Robert Crawford lost by 74 runs Robert Crawford 1 73 for 8 in 25 overs. Bissell 4 for 42 Saltus 99 for 9 in 25 overs.

Derek Joaquin is helped from the field after a hostile spell! 90 JUNIOR CRICKET REPORT Junior XI The Junior XI produced a surprisingly encourag- ing season after a heavy defeat in the first match against Berkeley. In this cup match the opening pair of Richmond and Jones pushed the score rapidly along to 61 in the ninth over before the loss of the first wicket. After that the school scored very slowly only managing to add 15 runs in the last 6 overs, for the loss of a further 3 wickets. In reply the opening Berkeley pair levelled the scores in just 8 overs handing the school a severe lesson on the dangers of short pitched bowling! The second game against St. George ' s was won due to a solid team performance in the field and fine individual efforts from both the bowlers and batsmen. Jones and Richmond again shared a fine opening partnership of 43 in 7 overs after which the school pushed steadily on to 94 for 2 after 15 overs. The opening pair of Morris, 2 for 9, and Rabain, 2 for 21, left St. George ' s at 37 for 4 at the end of 8 overs. In the remaining 7 overs St. George ' s could only add 33 against the bowling of Jones, Head and Richmond. This result encouraged the side who next played and soundly defeated Robert Crawford by 83 runs. The schools score of 181 for 7 in 20 overs was founded on another fine opening partner- ship between Richmond and Jones of 75 in only 8 overs. After that Rabain came in and scored 57 in only 9 overs to seal the games fate. Accurate bowl- ing by Jones, 1 for 9, Morris 1 for 5, Van der Weg 1 for 12, Manuel 1 for 15, Richmond 1 for 6, Ra- bain 1 for 10 and Head 2 for 26 allowed Robert Crawford only 98 runs in reply. In the final league game against Berkeley the depth of the school ' s batting was finally exposed when both openers failed and a slow scoring rate re- sulted. Berkeley batted well against some indiffe- rent, and again sadly short pitched, bowling to score 1 14 for 5. In reply, after a bad start, Saltus scored slowly with only three batsman, Rabain, MacDowell and McKittrick reaching double fi- gures. The final game of the season, the league semi- final against Berkeley was both disappointing and exciting as it contained the best and worst of this XI ' s season. Once the schools openers were dis- missed cheaply a large score was never likely but an outstanding performance by Rabain who hit 81 not out in under 20 overs finally gave Berkeley a reasonable target. Unfortunately earlier lessons had not been appreciated and Berkeley knocked off the runs, many with boundaries from short pitched balls, in 13.3 overs. This years XI admirably led by Rabain who re- ceived excellent support from other seniors Jones, Richmond, McKittrick, Manuel and Van- derWeg, has done much to encourage other promis- ing juniors and I look forward to next years XI which will contain many promising players. A further source of improvement was in the highly competitive Junior House Matches where many of the games were decided in the final over or two. Fi- nally inter-form matches were introduced in the first and second years with 2G emerging victorious followed by IB, 1 J and 25.

SKI TRIP ' 86 New Hampshire was our destination again for this year ' s ski trip. Fifteen students, four adults and myself flew to Boston, loaded our gear into two vans and headed up to Lincoln for three days of great skiing. We stayed at Indian Head Resort, where we enjoyed the indoor pool, sauna, whirl pool, toboggan slopes and hypnotist show, as well as hearty breakfasts and dinners. The first day of skiing at Loon Mountain was perfect: clear blue skies, 30 degrees F., ideal snow conditions and plenty of enthusiasm! Mr. Sleeman and myself gave lessons until noon, by which time most beginners were on their way. It was remark- able how well most students skied, some for the first time. The second day was again another per- fect day at Loon. The last day we went to Cannon Mountain, a very challenging ski area indeed. It was known as a skier ' s mountain and our group managed very well, enjoying the snow flurries throughout the day, while getting as many runs as possible. With very little sleep the last night we were all packed and ready to head back to Boston by 4.30 a.m. It was the best ski trip I had ever been on and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mr. B. Dilar And SO in the immortal words of Joe L. Brown III That ' s all from the apex in sports . During the Easter Term a number of boys found time to play hockey against Warwick Academy, Bermuda High School and to compete in the Annual Inter-Schools Tournament which was won. The games against Warwick Academy were drawn and lost but on both occasions the Saltus players produced some moments of skill which surprised both the more experienced op- position and themselves! Against the High School superior moral, fitness and finesse(?) were much in evidence and the games were en- joyably won. The true test of the Junior players skills was to be found on the 9th March at Nationals Sports Club when, combined with girls from the High School, two teams entered the island wide U-15 tournament. Both sides, led by Richmond and Manuel respectively, won their leagues and then played each other in an entertaining final which was only decided on penalties. This tournament showed that the hard work the boys had put into their practice was well worth it and many of the boys could turn into very able hockey players in the future. Indeed it is hoped that some will be sufficiently encouraged to partici- pate in the island ' s men ' s league. Players on the winning tournament side:- Richmond (Capt), Tufts, Redmond, Harris, de- Costa S., Bray and Scaife A., Scaife N. Other players who represented the school:- Allen, Leach, Capewell, Dyson, Simons, Francis, Wheddon C, Cooper P., Davis M.A., Semos, Oliveira, Pringle, Van der Weg. My thanks to the many other boys who turned out to the practices but were unable to represent the school. - Mr. D. Hermann-Smith 92 SENIOR YEAR 1985-86 SENIOR YEAR REPORT The Senior Year Class of 1985 86 has done much to maintain the fine reputation which the Programme has built up in recent years. Three of the top awards at this year ' s Teen Conference were presented to our students: Bruce Lattyak as Outstanding Academic, Marco Montarsolo for Outstanding Achievement and Schyler Dowling - who had earlier been voted Bermuda ' s first male Candy striper of the Year- as Outstanding Teenager for 1986. In addition, Freya Robinson and Rachel Parsons have each received a scholarship to attend United World Colleges , whilst Andrew Clarke has been chosen to represent the Rotary Exchange Programme and can look forward to a year in Japan. All of those students seeking to continue their education in colleges and universities abroad have received offers of admission, many of them having their ability recognised by the grant of numerous scholarships. The total worth of such awards stands at over $70,000 at the time of writing, and this figure may very well increase over the summer as more decisions are made. Yet Senior Year should not be judged simply by awards received or admission to prestigious universities. Like education in general, it is not a product but rather a process, and one of the important ingredients of that process is the contribution made by the teaching staff of both schools. The success and recognition our students receive is due largely to the efforts of these men and women who give freely of their time and energy for the benefit of the Programme . On behalf of the students, I thank them, as well as all those who - although behind the scenes - make an equally indispensable contribution. The future continues to look bright, with many more applicants than places available. Those entering the Programme, however, must realise from the outset that competition for entrance to good colleges and universities is stronger than ever, and that only a dedicated and determined approach will enable them to take full advantage ■ of what Senior Year has to offer. - by Malcolm Diirrant Senior Year Co-ordinator 93 Lesley Basden York University Richard Davis St. Mary ' s Commerce St. John Dyson University of Western Ontario Studying Arts Barbara Anne Bell University of Western Ontario Business Joseph DeSilva Queens or Western Engineering Anthony Francis Queens University Computer Science If your actions are dictated by the thoughts of others, then it is time to re-evaluate your life.
