February, 1888. On that date, approximately thirty students filed into Pembroke Sunday School under the watchful eye of the first Headmaster, Mr. Thomas Waddington, thus beginning a school that was to have a distinguished history, producing over the years many eminent Bermudians. Ninety nine years later as we stand on the threshold of our Centenary Year I am conscious of the many people whose contributions have resulted in the school that we have today. What sort of school that is I need not elaborate, for in this Year Book you will find ample testimony to our academic excellence and to what breadth of sporting and extra-curricular activities that go to make a sound education. Hopefully also, peeping through these pages, you will catch glimpses of those less tangible but very important qualities which pervade the school and contribute to its overall tone and spirit. I refer to the qualities of responsibility, commitment, involvement and community awareness that you will find exhibited by both staff and students. From the first donation with which Samuel Saltus began the school, many have contributed to our financial well-being, none more so than those who are presently contributing to our Centenary Fund. Others have made a different but equally valuable contribution, giving of their time, expertise, care and love in our service. Successive generations of Trustees, Old Boys, Parents, Friends of the School, Staff and Students have each played their part, accepting responsibility for their heritage and passing it on to those who follow. The school has been the richer for each and every contribution and as we look forward to our Centenary Year, I thank them all. 1 Cavendish Preparatory STAFF IN ACTION...

After imbibing freely of the delicious Princess hors d ' oeuvres, everyone gathered around for speeches and the pre- sentation of the gift, an Apple Computer complete with acces- sories and desk. A good laugh with old Jnends sets the tone of the evening. ■■iillV Sharing a good story Two long time colleagues, together. Thanks from the Association. ...and from the Trustees. ' Thank you ' Unpacking the goodies watched by Mrs. Bacon who heroically undertook the choosing, buying and packing on everyone ' s behalf. I got you a good deal on the service contract! MY THANKS TO ALL CONCERNED I am enjoying my computer very much, and each time I switch it on I think of the kindness of the many people who contributed and the thoughtful planning that went into the selection of such a suitable gift. I feel very fortunate to have had such an enjoy- able occupation among most congenial company - the most loyal colleagues, friendly and supportive parents and the heart-warming affection of the chil- dren themselves. To be thanked in this generous manner makes me feel that my efforts were valued. I hope to continue to hear about the activities of my former pupils ( to me they will always be my children although the first ones are now in their thirties), and wish them success in all their endeavours.

There was an old tree over the path and then we split into groups. One went to the bird blind and the other group went to the beach and we saw a salt water marsh.

One night the little boy went to sleep. That night a fairy was on her way to her friends house to sleep overnight. She went past the little boys window and saw him trying to get to sleep but he could not. The window was open so she slipped in. Then the boy thought he was having a dream but he was not having a dream. Then the fairy said I will give you three wishes if you want. Oh of course I would said the little boy. What would be your first wish? said the fairy. My first wi.sh will be to have lots and lots of caterpillars and snails. What will be you second choice? said the fairy. My second choice will be to do good writing and to do good work. What will your third choice be? said the fairy to the little boy. My third choice will be to make my teacher happy so her smile will be bigger than her head. Then the boy said I wished for snails and caterpillars because i like animals alot and they like me. I wished for me to do good writing and good work because I want my teacher to be happy. I wished for my teacher to have a smile bigger than her head because I v iintcd to make her even more happy. - Robert Furguson Louis Braille This is the story of Louis Braille.

Then we had our picture taken and then we went back to school. - Guy Armitage Today we went on a trip. First to the Aquarium. We went into a room which had a picture of Bermuda in it.

My second wish is to be intelligent and good. My third wish is to have a Lambergheni. Well 1 think I know why 1 want to have good grades because I don ' t want to be disappointed and why I want to be intelligent and good is why I dont want to be bossy and why I want a Lambergheni is to have a fast car. - Patrick Graham Adventure of the Sea In the sea lives fish and sharks and whales and mermaids.

One day a group of the wolves came to attack but the man took his gun and shot. It scared them off. Then the man told his friends the next time they attack the men could get them but they did attack that day. So all the men fired their guns and all of the wolves died. The man lived happily ever after. - Weslev Undo The Unicorn - Adrian Beasley When I Grow Up When I grow up I would like to be a policeman so I can catch robbers and stop people from going fast. I can go as fast as I like on my 750 so I can catch robbers from going fast on their bikes. Policeman give you money when you work for them. Policemen are nice men. Some times when you can ' t find your wallet you have to put your finger in ink so they can see your markings on your finger. They put your finger on a piece of paper so they see your markings on the paper. Some times police drive cars and police trucks and police bikes and police vans. - Nicholas Pewter In the Forest In the middle of a deep forest there lived a dragon and a prince. The dragon burned half the forest and the dragon was green with flashing scales and red eyes and spikes on his tail. The prince had silver armour. The dragon lived in a cave next to the water. The dragon fed on fish. The dragon and the Prince met. They had a fight and the prince won. - William Soares Living in the Forest In the middle of the forest there lived a man who had a donkey. The donkey ' s name was Number Six. One day they were out looking for a new camping place. Then they came across a river and the man washed himself. While he was washing Number Six went on his way. So the man had to go on foot. He found a place to sleep for the night but to his surprise when he woke he was surrounded by wolves. They fed him and he lived the rest of his life with the wolves. - Nicholas West The Big Boat - William Evans My Favourite Animals Some of my favourite animals are guinea pigs. I like them because they are cute. One of my 1 guinea pigs is white and brown and my other i guinea pig is black brown and white. The name of the brown and white one is Chipper. We call him Chipper because he eats a lot. My other one is Rosy. She likes to eat her food and she is very fat. We are going to breed them when it gets cooler. I want to keep all of them. We give them some nut sticks, veg- etables sticks and we always give them vita- mins so they will not get sick. - Kyle Parkin My Eastern Holiday On Saturday I went to the Maritime Museum with my friend Tony.

The Cave One day I was walking along the beach with my friend. I said lets go swimming and my Mom said Yes. We went on the boat and we went where a cave was. Then we dove down where the cave was and we swam in the cave. We were digging and I hit a treasure box. We took it home and we were rich.

I bought my teacher Miss Thompson a new car for Easter day. - Stephen DeCouto When I Grow Up Once upon a time I was painting in the art museum when I saw a nice young lady. She said can I have one of your lovely pictures? She gave me five dollars and then I got back to work. Again the same lady came. I said what do you want now? So she said can I have another picture. So I gave her another picture. She gave me 8 dollars. I said this shop will be closed at seven o ' clock and so it did. - Jody Feldman 13 MRS. DAVIDGE ' s 3D Our Wonderful Volcano. Our Trip to Nonsuch Island. When we got to Nonsuch Island we had to dock on a ship wreck and we had to walk up stairs. We went out for a tour. First we went to the fresh water pond and there was supposed to be the Yellow Crowned Night Heron but we did not see it. We saw the Red Mangrove in the salt water pond. Then we saw the cahow burrow and we went to the museum to see some pictures. Then we went back to the Biological Station. - Andrew Rego Longtails - Christopher Watson We saw the Olive Wood.

Then we went back to the boat. - Ryan Gaglio Nonsuch Island - (}ss I ' cmplclon We all made turtles Turtle Stories. Once there lived a turtle named David. One day David was hunting for food for his family. Suddenly David saw something and it looked like a jellyfish but it was a plastic bag. So David went to catch the jellyfish. David bit the plastic bag and swallowed a piece. David choked on it. The waves began to get big. The waves washed David on the shore. Soon some scientists came along and saw David. They ran over to David and looked at him. One of them said he s swallowed a piece of plastic bag we ' d better get him back to the lab. So the scientists took David back to the lab and when the scientists got back to the lab they had to do surgery on David. First they had to cut David open to get the piece of plastic out of David. When they finished the stitched David up again and the scientists put David back in the sea. When David woke up he couldn ' t remember anything. So David sent and told his family that they would have to have seagrass for supper. - Philip Wills Once upon a time there were some baby turtles in the bay so I went to get one of them so I could have one of them to keep. Then I would feed him some seagrass and he would like it and I would let him swim in the swimming pool. He would play with the pool toys and 1 would swim with him and my cousins, Timmy and Johnny. - Daniel Smith When 1 was born 1 had a soft shell. When I was going to the sea ghosl crabs tried to catch me. When 1 am in the water fish tried to catch me. I eat .seagrass and 1 eat jellyfish as well. When I can ' t find llicm I eat algae. 1 can stay under water for fifteen minutes and then I have to go up for air or 1 can ' t breathe. I let out air. When 1 get older my shell gets bigger. When I go back to the beach where I uas born I lay my eggs and go back to the sea. - MicliacI Pinicnial One day I weni on an adventure and 1 saw a boat. Some people threw a bag overboard and 1 thought it was a jellyfish but it was a bag I almost choked on it. Then I went lo the surface for air.

At every island Pete let his Buggie go on the island to look for treasures. One day the Buggie came back and said that he had found treasure. Pete dug it up and found jewels and diamonds. Pete had so much treasure that he buried it on the island of Bermuda. On top he planted a Cedar Tree. Then one day he was discovered by a gang of other pirates. They locked Pete up in a dungeon with Peter. Peter got up on the window and squeezed out of the bars and flew to Pete ' s best friend and said help, Pete is locked up. All Pete ' s friends surrounded the gang of pirates and tied them up. One of Pete ' s friends took the key to the dungeon and let Pete out. Pete went to find his treasure but then he found out that someone had stolen his treasure, soon Pete found out that pirate Jimmy had stolen it so he told his friends to find out where pirate Jimmy was. One day his friends came back with good news. Pirate Jimmy had buried Pete ' s treasure in a cave in the south west on an island in the middle of the Atlantic where an island was a red and white flag. In the middle of the island was with a red and white flag. In the middle of the island there was a beach. In the middle of the beach there was a small x carved on a rock. Under the big rock was Pete ' s treasure but Pirate Jimmy Stole it again. - Richard Nettleton Stolen Treasure! I am the Blue Pirate, I have a parrot. He has eight blue stripes going down his stomach and his head is red. My name is Benjamin. My parrots name is Polly and my ships name is Sailing Merman. I am a good pirate. I am not mean. I feed Polly well and she likes me. One day I went back to the island where I buried my treasure but it was gone! I didn ' t need to guess who took it, Cuthroat Jimmy! Nearby I saw his ship the Dagging Shark! Now I was mad, fire came out of my ears. I nearly blasted off. I went to his ship in my long boat raging with anger holding out my sword. I went to their cabin. Peeping threw the window I saw them counting my money! I crashed the door open with a slam and there was a big fight in the cabin. Then I came out with my treasure followed by people in black suits with black eyes and black bruises! - Tedros Robinson Pete the Black Pirate I ' m Pete the black pirate. I have a parrot called Stripe. He always flaps his wings and hits my ear. I was walking on a beach on Bermuda and it had lots of palm trees. Then I saw something shining in a box. I went closer. It was treasure. I tried to lift it up except it was too heavy so I buried it there. Then I planted a cedar tree on it. Then I went to look for more. But then I decided to go back and check my treasure. I looked for the cedar tree. I found a cedar tree and I dug a big hole down deep. I didn ' t find it and all my strength was gone. Then I realized it was the wrong tree. Then I saw the right cedar tree. My treasure was gone. Somebody took it. Who was it? They had better tell me or they will be hung by their feet. - Ronan Kane Sectaitr - Derick Wheeler 15 THANK YOU CLASS III CLUBS NATURE CLUB - Mrs Starling Thank you for helping to make my butterfly and for helping me plant the milkweed.

The 7 year old investigators were Waheed Brown, Neil Cattell, Stephen DeCouto, Kevin Munro and Jonathan Starling. Special thanks to Mr. E. Cattell who provided soil and milkweed plants. Week 1 My daddy brought some soil to the school and we dug some holes and first we had to take the pots off the milkweed plants and then we planted them in the garden and I put some Monarch caterpillars on the milkweed. - Neil Cattell Week 2 Milkweed - Its latin name is Asclepias syrica and it is a native of tropical America. It is a herbaceous perennial that grows to a height of 2 - 3 feet and has orange red flowers. It grows in the wild as well as in gardens and will survive Bermuda ' s hot summers. Milkweed is the only source of food for the Monarch butterfly larva. Milkweed contains cardiac glycosides and when absorbed by the larva it makes the larva and butterfly toxic to birds and other predators. - Neil Cattell Week3 Today we went to a field to collect caterpillars. We found some tiny ones. We saw lots of Monarch butterflies, but before we did all that we planted some milkweed. Then we went back to school. We put the litde caterpillars on the milkweed at school. - Waheed Brown The eggs are on the milkweed. The Monarch butterfly lays her eggs on the milkweed because the caterpillars need to eat the milkweed. - Stephen DeCouto We went to look at the caterpillars. They had grown bigger. - Kevin Munro The black and yellow colours on the caterpillars warn birds that it will taste bitter. This bitter taste helps protect the cater- pillar. - Jonathan Starling 24 3F THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY I ! Week 4 We could only find three caterpillars on the milkweed. I think the others have turned into pupae. The three we saw were much longer and fatter than last week. I think they will soon turn into pupae. - Jonathan Starling Week 5 Today we measured the caterpillars, they were about 4 cms long. When we first found them they were only 1 cm long. - Kevin Munro Week 6 Today every caterpillar has changed into a pupae except one but it will make it. - Waheed Brown Monarch butterflies are very powerful fliers. They can be seen easily and a bird could catch them but their bright pattern warns that they are not good to eat. - Stephen DeCouto This project was displayed as an Educational Exhibit at the 1987 Agricultural Show. 25 SATURDAY SOCCER Photographs of the final match and prize giving by Peter Green . The sixth successive season of Saturday soccer commenced in October with a coaches clinic conducted by Jon Beard, Senior School Athletic Director and Kieron Peacock, Junior School Athletic Director. This session was well attended by parents from both Cavendish and the Junior and Senior schools emphasising the continuity of the programme throughout the school. During the season an average turn out of between 65 - 70 boys participated each Saturday with strong support being provided by parents in the form of coaching, refereeing, donat- ing refreshments and equipment and organizing functions. Due to the imbalance in the number of boys on each of the traditional House teams, no league schedule was maintained this year. As a result, many of the boys found they were playing on different teams from week to week and their willingness, enthusiasm and sportsmanship in so doing contributed greatly to another successful season. The emphasis as always was on participation, team work, development of skills and above all, having fun. There were 2 1 sessions held throughout the year ending with the closing ceremonies in early May. The final day consisted of a separate game for the Ts. a round-robin series for the 2 ' s and several skill relays. The high level of skills exhibition on the closing day was a result of the boys ' dedication and enthusiasm throughout the year combined with the tremendous support of fathers who coached and refereed each Saturday. Mrs. Bacon kindly presented medals to all participants in the Well Done ' The supporters programme and refreshments were provided by a hard-working group of mothers and fathers to end a well supported family day. Continuing a practice which began in the 1985 86 season, games were played against other schools. On December 13, boys selected from the 2 ' s and 3 ' s visited Port Royal and after a fine display of skill, enthusiasm and sportsmanship managed a 2-0 win over a much improved Port Royal side. The goals in this match were scored by Graeme Henderson and Christopher Watson. On February 14, Cavendish travelled to Gilbert Insti- tute Primary School and after much spirited play, manage to eke out a 1-0 win over a good defensive Gilbert side. Richard Wallington was the sole marksman in this encounter. The final game of the season held on April 4, saw a very strong Port Royal side visit the Saltus boys at a game played at the Junior school field with Port Royal emerging the victors by a 2-0 score. The success of these games is due to the untiring dedication and efforts of head coaches Mr. W. Templeton and Mr. J. Barritt ably assisted by their field coaches Mr. R. Massey and Mr. J. Anthony and the refereeing of Mr. D. Carruthers. In addition, the mothers who organised refreshments at each game and the numerous supporters who attended combined with the boys fine play and sportsmanship made the 1986 87 season and unqualified success. As a final observation, the success of the Saturday soccer progranniic at Cavendish is wholly dependant upon the parents; in the areas of coaching, refereeing, fund raising, organising functions to support their sons ' play. In addition, Mrs. Bacon and the teachers of Cavendish provide their much appreciated enthusiasm for ihe programme. This past season was again exceptional in the support provided. Many thanks to all of you! 26 JUNIOR SCHOOL THE STAFF 1986-1987 Back Row: (I-r) Mr. D.S. Adams, B.A., Mr. K. Peacock, Mr. F. Allen, Mr. M. Beasley, Mr. G. Sutherland, (Deputy Head) Front Row: Mrs. K.

Miss Wilkie, because you were special in your own way, stern but kind, harsh but gentle. - Shimon Alkon To me she ' s been everything from an enemy (when 1 didn ' t behave) to a friend (when I need support and help). - Steven Cardwell Every Christmas she sent me a card for giving her some biscuits! - Michael Bianco Since I ' ve known how strict and stern you ' ve been, I have not ever tried to fake being sick in this school as I usually did in my other school ! - Justin Sousa FAREWELL TO MISS EILEEN WILKIE A dedicated teacher has so many roles lo perform. Apart from the everyday teaching skills required in the classnjom. to be a successful Head of the Junior School is not only d jwnright demanding but also a colourful spectrum of many varied professeions - arbitrator, judge and jury, doctor, actress, humanitarian and veterinarian, to mention but a few. We, the staff and the children, have seen the shoes of these profes- sions more than adequately filled by Miss Wilkie since her appointment to the Junior School in 1972. Her unwavering personal standards have enabled her to cope with US, a staff of strong willed individuals, and THEM, a branch of untiringly energetic boys, and she ' s managed to keep us all in line, working hard in spite of occasional differences, because we all share a common goal, that of striving for standards of excellence. We shall all miss you. Miss Wilkie.

She saw a fish so she jumped in the water, but the fish thought Fern was trying to catch him, so he hid among the reeds. - Sam Fraser Smith Fern put on her backpacl and jumped oft ' . It took her an hour to do a mile, and by that time she felt even more lonely, and dry. She heaved a sigh and stopped, straining her ears to hear the sound of water bubbling into a pond. - Richard Fulton She was getting hungry, so she hid in some reeds until the first big juicy fly came along. Snap! and Fern went on her way with a full stomach! - Taran Card She thought about the dangers on the was and she was worried. Sh e saw a princess,. Oh no!

I felt like I was in an open air jet. - Taran Card He told me to put on my warmest clothes, and I held his hand. We flew up the chimney and into his sled and away. We went up into the sky and it got so cold that my feet almost froze. He let me put the presents in the houses and I said hello to Mrs. Claus on the way back home. - Robert Swainson It was such fun I shouted Whoopee! Santa Claus just said, Ho! Ho! Ho!

Sam Fraser Smith ry Q J mxnoj ' ' O y - ' ii -m 30 Underwater Adventure I jumped into the water. It was a very hot day, but in the water it was lovely. You see I ' m a flying fish. Today was Neptune ' s birthday and I was invited. He was going to find the long lost city of Aracbus. Where his great grand Crabina had lived. I was on my way there. I wanted to be the first one to get there. I was happily gliding through the gates, when a big voice boomed out, Who goes there! Er I do, big sir, Androcles Ditty. You may come in then, boomed the voice. I found that everyone was waiting for me. They were ready to go. So with Neptune at the front we set off. All the other creatures split up so I did too. I looked in all the biggest cave. It was as high as Neptune ' s palace. Slowly I went in all I could see was blackness. Suddenly far in the distance I saw a light. Soon I ventured on. Then at the end I saw that there was a light, so I darted back to find Neptune. I found him a bit later in one of the crayabean caves. N-Neptune , I said shaking. I found it. So I led him to the cave. I pointed to the light ahead of me. Take me to it , whispered Neptune. Yes sir! I said. So I took him to the end ther I saw a hole and at the bottom was Arambus. - Richard Fulton The day the spaceship landed I was gotgaling away one day with my twelve purple noses making loud noises. My one thousand ears were waggling like shingle-biggies. I woke up when my fellow gadsorks were calling Hey swoggler! Come on, we want to swoogle with you! So I got up and my sixty arms and legs started moving very fast. Soon I was running a hundred miles an hour. When we had finished swoogling I went back to my cave and went to sleep on the ceiling. That night I heard a noise that made me fall of the floor! I went outside and saw a weird spaceship on the ground that had just landed. A real weird creature came out and said, Hello , and cut my head off and I was dead. - Brian Dodwell. ■a [Ml J4Z Fern the Frog Fern the frog lived all by herself in a little pond in the woods. One day Fern decided to leave the lonely pond. She put on her backpack and put in a can of flies and two cans of caterpillars. She was going to find her frog friends. She said, One step for me, and two steps for frogkind! She took two hundred steps and came upon an ant. She asked, How do you get to the Artist ' s Pond? Well, said the ant, you go two paces back and one mile from there. Thanks! and off she went. When she got there she hid behind the bullrushes. Then she saw her friend. Artist! She ran up to him and hugged him. She said, How are you? Where are the others? They are next door. So she went to the next pond. There were her brothers and sisters all staring at her. She went back and packed her things and lived with them. - Mark Roth Conversation With A Rock One day I was walking in the meadow and I was very tired. I was about to sit down when I heard a voice. You had better not sit on me! It was a rock I was about to sit on, How come I can ' t sit on you for you ' re just a rock? I said. Well you ' re a bossy lad! replied the rock. So how did you come to be a rock? 1 asked. The rock began, It all started when a boy threw a tiny rock at an old house. Nobody lived there. I stayed in the shelter of the house until it broke down and I grew and grew until I was this big. I have seen many people pass by until you stopped and talked to me. You are my only friend. What is your name? Nick but my friends call me Ni, I replied. Oh! Hi!, Ni, said the rock. What is your name? I said. I ' m afraid I don ' t have one, replied the rock. 1 think I ' ll name you Mark, I said The rock said, I like that name, you ' re my kind of guy Ni. You ' re very nice too, Mark. Oh, I hear my Mum, I ' ll have to go but I ' ll come back and see you tomorrow. I called as I ran off home. - James Spearing A Shipwreck My army squad was sent on a voyage to another country. When we had been on the ship for six days the waves began crashing against the sides of the boat. Suddenly I heard a tremble rip of wood. We re shipwrecked! I shouted. We all jumped overboard. We were tossed around until we hit shore. I was so weary I fell down and rested. When I woke up I saw that all ten of us were alive. Later when everyone was awake we saw what useful things we had. Then an arrow shot into James ' bag. We heard someone run off. No food had come off the ship but four of us had guns, Daryl, James, Jack and I, we were the hunting squad. We soon came back with three rabits. We slept under the trees that night. The next day we made our huts of wood, mud and grass by the river mouth. Later on we had a vote for who the leader would be. Daryl and I tied in votes, so Daryl and I shared the job. We decided to explore , the hunting squad went first. We followed the river to several caves, some people came rushing out screaming, Peace! ' We travelled through sand, a marsh, mountains and a forest. Then we came upon some more mountains. Suddenly a volcano erupted. We ran all the way back to our settlement. We took axes and quickly made boats. The lava started spreading everywhere. We saw a tribe get caught in the lava and die! We grabbed everything, jumped in our boat and pushed out to sea. Three days later a ship went by. We shouted and waved until the ship saw our squad. We re saved ! I shouted. - Stephen Fahy The Hungry Dog One day Slick and Sam were riding down the block. Slick stopped to watch a bird flying while Sam went zooming down the block. By this time Sam had ridden around the block and Slick could not see him. Suddenly Slick heard a yell. Help! it seemed to say. When he reached where the scream had come from, he saw Sam and an huge dog towering over him, and in his mouth was Sam ' s tricycle! Give me back my tricycle, yelled Sam. Slick wanted to make a joke. Gee I can ' t see how that dog can eat that tricycle raw. I would want some salt on it if I were him! . The joke just mad Sam feel worse. I know what I ' ll do! I ' ll tell him it ' s rusty. Hey dog I have never oiled that tricycle, and it ' s very rusty. The trick didn ' t work. The dog just kept on chomping. Do you think he will let go of it? asked Sam. Hopefully not! answered Slick. Suddenly Sam had an idea. He took the feather he had found while he was riding around the block, and started to tickle the dog ' s nose. Ha-ha-ha-Hachoo! The dog spat out the tricycle. That little dog was easy to get rid of, Sam boasted. Suddenly - Bark! Bark! Growl. Oh No! cried Sam, who was behind him, but the dog probably overheard them. They were at the garage door. They quickly opened it and jumped in and quickly locked it! That was a close one! J4Z Poetry Look at the fishes in the water! Look!

It was a cold blustery day in the Alp s. I lived in a small wooden cabin on a ledge in the mountains. After I had finished my tea, I decided to have a nap. I was just about to settle down and sleep when I heard the soft whirr of a helicopter outside.lt landed softly. I quickly slipped on some clothes and went to investigate. In the copter was a teenager. As soon as he saw me he took off again. I contemplated hard over why he took off when he saw me. I could have just slipped ' round the cabin and got into my survival scouts helicopter . It was about 25 feet long with a blade span of about 3-5 feet. Suddenly a hoarse voice came out over the radio. May day. May day . I picked up the speaker, Signal received . Again the hoarse voice came over the radio. This time it said, I am on the third mountain to your east , then the voice died away. Are you still there?! There was no reply. I called my collie, Gem . Then I got on my survival supplies. In about two minutes I was in my helicopter and on my way. After several hours of tedious flying I spotted the helecopter that had landed and taken off again. I landed. Was anybody there? I was looking about with my collie. It looked like there had been an avalanche. The person could have been there; there had been a snow slide because at least 6 feet of snow had piled up on a ledge. I told Gem to kick with her hind legs at the bottom of the pile. I started sifting the snow through my hands when suddenly some- thing solid hit my hand. I quickly gripped it, and pulled what ever it was up. I told Gem to stop kicking. It was the same teenager that had flown away from me. He was unconcious but breathing. I flew him back to the cabin. From the shelf I took a bottle of whisky; and made him take some. He came around quickly. Then I gave hem a very good portion of food. I flew him twenty miles to a hospital. In three months no one claimed him so he became my adopted son. He became a survival man himself. - M. Lamas Birds of Prey Owls and Hawks, Are very nice. But just can ' t keep. Away from mice.

I was lying awake in bed when I heard the door open. Quickly I set off my alarm system, I jerked a string on which was hung my brothers Master of the Universe Trap Jaw . It slid down the string and hit my alarm clock switch, it immediately began to ring. Then I heard a man say in a rough voice. Turn it off! - or else! I jumped out of bed and turned off the clock. He motioned for me to get against the wall. I did, but then I remembered my trip wire! Now this is where I have to do a little explaining: I am Jeremy Hammond: I like to invent traps and alarms. This trip wire is set so that if somebody trips on it the vibration carries up the wire and undoes a latch on a compartment in which is a hammer, the hammer falls right on the trip wire. So, if you ' re in the way, you ' re in trouble. This is just what happened to the man - he went for me and tripped on the wire. There was a bloodcurdling yell, and he was out cold! Then, four more men came in, when they saw what happened to their companion, they each drew their semi-auto magnums. Oh - No! I forgot! Too Late. They tripped on another wire! Then a huge open- topped box fell on them - they were trapped! That ' s the worst of it. they got up, and four more hammers knocked tthem out cold! I felt kind of sorry for them. When they came to, they were sitting in The Magistrates ' Court - about to be tried. - Jeremy Hammond Fishing Fishing is always so much fun.

Silver Hawks I don ' t believe you boys, said Monstar pacing up and down on his command platform. He turned to face Buss Saw, Mumbo Jumbo and Time Stopper. I gave you a simple job to do. Bus Saw was to cut open the bank world of Dolar, fly in on the mob limousine and grab the loot. But boss the Silver Hawks came in and fought us out. Timme Stopper interrupted. Speaking of Silver Hawks, here they come! yelled Yes Man. Sure enough that was the Silver Hawks mirage flying towards Brimstar. Activate the inner defences Yes Man, commanded Monstar. Activate the inner defenses? Oh, yes boss, yes, said Yes Man. Yes Man shot a mechanical net, but the mirage was too fast and simply flew around the mechanical net. Out of the mirage dove four Silver Hawks. They streaked towards Brimstar and opened their wings and closer and closer battle masks down. Keep them out of their transformation Yes Man, said Monstar in a high tone. Yes Man told Buss Saw, Mumbo Jumbo, Hard Ware and Time Stopper to go out and keep the Silver Hawks tied up. While the silver Hawks were busy Monstar began his transformation chant: Monstar of limbo give me the might, the menace, the muscle of Monstar. Monstar had changed from a hairy humanoid to a spiked faced robot. Using his feet rockets he thrust himself into his squid-like ship Sky Runner. Sky Runner flew out and attacked the Silver Hawks which in the meantime had be defeating the mob with their arm lasers. Sky Runner entangled the mirage and Blue Grass who was piloting it. Monstar was trying to shoot Quick Silver with his elbow gun. Buss Saw was throwing his circular saw disks at every silver Hawk he saw. While all this was happening the Copper Kid and Steel Will had come down on the mob with a metallic net. With the mob in the net they headed for Hawk Haven. Upon reaching Hawk Haven Comman- der Stargaser sent a message to Lord Cash to tell him that the mob was under arrest. - Kemieth Robinson JSP Dislikes I really dislike composition homework because when you could be out playing a game you are sat at your desk trying to think of what to put on the next line.

One elf named Timer was working on a globe. He noticed a small dot in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean called Bermuda. Wondered what Bermuda was like so he asked Santa Claus if he could go with him on his trip. Santa was going to deliver presents to all of the children around the world. His eighteenth stop was Bermuda. The night before Christmas Eve, Mrs Claus made sure that Timer was in bed early and packed him snacks of cookies and candy-canes. When Timer woke up, Mrs. Claus checked to see if he had brushed his teeth and had warm clothing on. At last the time had arrived and they left! It took several hours to get to Bermuda where he landed on the white roof of the Aquarium. Timer fed the birds little berries, the monkeys nuts and the fish and turtles plankton. When they had deli- vered almost all of the presents. Timer started to feel tired. By this time Santa had reached Spanish Point, his last stop in Bermuda. Santa let Timer go for a little walk. He found himself on a long beach which Spaniards had visited long ago. It looked so beautiful in the moon light, he thought he would like to visit again in the summer. Now Santa was back and Timer clambered on to the sleigh. As soon as Timer ' s head touched Santa ' s red bag, he went to sleep. When Santa got home. Mrs. Claus put Timer to bed to dream about Bermuda. - Richard Pereech J6A Pupils scrample up their foreheads in (hough! One line, a rhyming word. Whal to write next?

Wow, those islands down there look like a good landing place! I think I ' ll descend. Day Two: As I landed on the rock island, I looked around at my new habitat, my eyes not missing a single detail. Then, I saw another bird, brown in colour, that looked like a great meal. Day Three: The twilight descended on me as I flew in the direction I saw the brown bird fly. I spotted it resting on the ground. I swooped down and caught it in my talons. Day Four: Content from last night ' s meal, I stood on a rocky ledge, sunning myself and admiring the beautiful islands which stretched out before me. Day Five: Early in the morning, for breakfast, I had another brown bird, which 1 know as a cahow. They tickled my taste-buds so much, I decided to have one for supper. I flew out before twilight and caught another cahow. I now have three regurgitated pellets in my cave. (The heads and wings are not edible). Day Six: As I glided over that same island I picked off another cahow (which lasted me the whole day). I slept for a while, after I ate the cahow. Then I flew around the island where I have been getting my food and saw that there were plenty more. Day Seven: I was very cautious because the Marines and Mr. Wingate were after me. (In the excitement, I forgot to write some incidents). Then, a little later in the morning, I carefully picked off another cahow.

All through Wednesday evening I hunted for a lizard to lake to schfxjl the next day. If it hadn ' t been for my mummy I probably would still be hunting for one today. After capturing him in a flower pot we carefully brought him into the kitchen. There, while transferring him into a jar he escaped and found refuge in a curtain. After flushing him out of the curtain he decided to hide in a drawer at the other side of the kitchen. When we got him in the bucket he jumped nimbly out and ran into the dining toom. After a few screams from my murnmy when it tried to run up her leg, it ran straight into my dog who was watching with interest. Once in the jar we put food, water and leaves to make it feel at home. With a covering of soil on the bottom the lizard began to calm down after a terrible scare. Thinking it would feel better if it was in its natural environment I put it into a patch of petunias but this was not the case The next morning I found ants all over the lizard, thinking the lizard might be still alive 1 began to tap the glass jar. I was relieved to see it move, but knowing it could not live much longer I released it into the garden. With a little tap on the shoulder it scurried up the wall to safety. I was fortunate when I caught another lizard, but my mother said I had a temperature and that I should stay home. - Rhys Baptiste. A Day in tlie Life of a Wild Dog Nearly everybody thinks that I, a wild dog, am a dog gone wild. But no, I come from a certain species of dog which has white tails and is black with brown splotches on its body. Sit down and listen to my savage and sometimes tragic story! In the morning I wake up and usually feel hungry. I wake up the other dogs of the pack and then we have a greeting ceremony. Then we ' re ready. Mick, the Hyena, always tags along behind us hoping that he ' ll get a free meal. We are getting ready to hunt. We cover all the escape-routes. Our target is usually gazelles in the morning. Sometimes we let the gazelles run by because we can ' t sense any weakness in them. We can chasee a victim for 1.9 miles and can run at any speed up to 55 - 60 miles an hour. For a snack we have warthogs. For lunch we have zebras which are not easy to catch. For o ur afternoon snack we have mice and sometimes ostrich eggs which we crack with rocks. We have to avoid the mother and father ostrich which could kill us with one kick. Mick, the hyena, has been kicked by an ostrich. Luckily, he still lives today. Supper is the biggest meal of the day. We have wildebeasts. They are very big and good to eat, but catching one takes hard work, skill, brainpower and courage. It will take about one hour ro catch one, but when we do, Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! is all we can say!!! After supper we go to the water-hole to drink. When we come back I have to watch poachers and poachers ' traps. Sometimes I see leopards trapped in snares. As I sit in the dark I wonder what will happen tomorrow in the life of a WILD DOG. - Andrew Smith J6A A Bermuda Fairy Tale: Tlie Goblin of Crystal Caves Once many years ago there lived a goblin. He lived in the Crystal Caves. He was small with a golden eye. He roamed through the cave shouting for magical powers to own the world. In 1920 he got what he wanted. Two boys were playing ball when their ball went down into the caves through an opening. One of them went to look for it but unfortunately didn ' t find it because the goblin had it. He took it to his hut and examined it. It seemed to be round with the words Tlie Boston Red Sox on it printed in gold. He put it into the water inside the caves and suddenly the whole cave glowed with golden light, then water started dripping from the ceiling and in three days they formed stalactites. The goblin was amazed. He took one of these stalactites and held it in his hand, then HE started glowing and turned into a human being. When he let go he turned back into a goblin. In 1980 he turned himself into a human being and put a ring on with a piece oi ' crystal on it. Today we know this person as I ' KIiMILR JOHN SWAN! - James Tliomson J6A 34 ■ Startinq Rogues Gallery!

The Manager of the Hotel was waiting for me. Not being able to afford a holiday, I had entered a competition and won, the prize being a free vaca- tion at Hotel Scary. I parked my car and hurried towards the front door. The letter I had received told me that I would have to check in before sunset on Friday and check out before sunset on Sun- day. Right away I received a shock. My host, the Manager of the Hotel, was a spitting image of Frankenstein, with a greenish complexion and cold, staring eyes. I automatically extended my hand to greet him, and regret- ted it; his hand was icy cold. He told me his name, Mr. Frank Stein, and introduced me to his two hostesses, who he asked to show me to my room. We climbed up three creaky flights of stairs. My room, the highest point of the hotel, was also the creakiest. Dinner that night was a strange Storm The violent winds of the hurricane ranged 95 rn.p.h. and people in their homes, panic-stri- ken with fear, cried and prayed that their houses would not be reduced to ruins. Trees swayed and would amazingly be pulled out of the earth like weeds by the terrific winds. Boulders flew from the earth like birds flying from their nests. Cars tumbled and when it was over the destruction that you could see was horrendous. People were rummaging through the remains of their belongings. Such a sad sight - .seeing the destruction of the hurricane. - James Huhhard affair, and that soup didn ' t taste like tomato; maybe it was beet- root. The rare roast beef was very good though, and so was the red wine. It struck me as I was eating the rasberry puree that this had been a rather red meal, but I ' m sure it was a coincidence. I slept well that night except that I did have a strange dream. I heard a creaking and a shuffling, and felt a prickling on my neck like a mosquito bite. I spent most of the nest day exploring the countryside around the hotel. I didn ' t need lunch because I had had a terrific break- fast served by a young girl from the local village. What I took to be the hotel pet, a large black cat, watched me with his strange, green, and unblinking eyes. My host and hostesses were once more full of wonderful stories. I have never had so much fun with such strange people in my life. During the evening, I asked my host about the large black cat. He just smiled and narrowed his strange, green, and unblinking eyes. My friend, the black cat, again visited me at breakfast, and again my host and hostesses were nowhere to be seen . When I went to church in the morning, the cat followed me all the way, and waited patiently in the graveyard and greeted me with a large meow when I came out. I never did see my host and hostesses again, but there was a note attached to the door saying: We hope you enjoyed yourself. You have very good taste! As I drove away late that afternoon. I looked back to see a large, black cat looking at my car with strange, green and unblinking eyes. - Stephen Sainsbury J7A The Fascinating Machine As the white coated scientist hurried through the halls of steel, explo- sions started behind those walls. Test equipment and access terminals were destroyed. The gigantic Cray 3 computer was alone, linked to the world by satellite only. As this happened, a klaxon sounded in the building and fire fighters battled the electrical fires in the steel halls. At the White House the President boomed, What! His aide, Marshall White, stuttered, That ' s right, Mr President, the Pentagon ' s computer has run amok. And it ' s aiming missiles at us, you say, NUCLEAR missiles! Deep in the Kremlin, the same thing was happening. The Russian Super-Computer and the U.S.A. ' s Cray 3 had joined forces to rule the world. In all the major capitals of the world, Bonn, Bern, Berlin, Paris, Mexico City, Ottawa, and others, panic was spreading. The U.S. and Ru,ssia had as.sembled their top computer scientists to try and stop the super computers. Meanwhile, in a small hut in New York City, a teenager with a satellite dish was working on his computer. He had been working on this computer system for months, trying to break the code. Today he broke it. He stared in horror at the screen. It said, Welcome to the Cray 3 super Computer. Would you like to Are the weapons? Yes or No? He called up the White House, Yes, gel mc the President, right away please. An hour later he was di.scussing with the presidents of Russia and America the possibilities of regaining control of the super computers. The next day he was sitting at a computer terminal, playing jjaincs with the computer. A few days later he accidentally set oil the countdown. He had three hours to disable the computer. An hour later he found lln- rij hl code and shul off llie two super computers.

He was too late. Five minutes later the Kremlin and the White House were smoulder- ing ruins. The nuclear warheads hadn ' t exploded, but the rest of the rockets had exploded, with metal and sharpnel flying. In the ruins of the White House, a singed arm reached up and pushed a button, and the armed satellites self-destructed. - Douglas De Couto Space - peaceful, yet dangerous. And although there are other dangers, comets, asteroids, super-novas, black-holes, aliens and man. Yes. man is the most dangerous thing in the universe. The Bearingham Strait, a place between Aqualian and Nethion. two warring planets. They ' ve been fighting for three hundred years. They ' ve forgotten why, they just fight. There are five asteroids between them. Several space ships have moved into position, gunners ready to push the button that will FIRE . It is over, the strait is littered with wreckage, the asteroids are littered with robots, ones destroyed with frying circuits going in circles, gradually slowing down with the loss of energy. There are other losses too, human losses, killed instantly, or if they weren ' t, left to die in the airless void of space. Now comes the civilian scavenger ships from both sides. The government ships will arrive later to pick up the remaining things that were not taken. When they get there, most of the small arms off bodies will be gone, along with most of the andioids and pieces of metal. No one won that battle, they both lost. Hut there will be other battles. - Douglas Parker Sunny Beach The siMi shone (.(own of the beautiful golden sand and reflected on the sparkling sea.

You could see for miles on top of this hill, rolling meadows and vast forests. Slowly, I drifted to sleep... Hey, Grandpa what ya doin out ' ere ' ? ' I awoke with a jump as a man clad in a black suit yelled at me. I got up and looked around. I almost fell back in surprise, the view was completely changed. Instead of forests there were huge, tall buildings connected by steel rods. The meadows were taken up by huge roadways which vehicles flashed along on. What year is it ' ?!, I asked. You must be nutty, it is 2087 , answered the man. The man walked away shaking his head. I watched in fascination as a huge spaceship took off from one of the towers. I decided that I had to find someway to get back to the past. Part 11 I wandered through enormous streets, ignoring peoples ' stares. I caught a hover-car to tour this future world, but the driver threw me out because I had no credits. (Whatever they were). Finally I found a place where it said. Take a glimpse of the Past . I reached for the start button. Someone cried, Its out of order . But it was too late. There was a blinding flash of light and a great whirring sound, and suddenly a huge explosion... I landed with a bang on some heather. I looked around, there was my camp, the forest, the meadows. That Machine had, somehow, transported me back to the past! - Andrew Riker J7S Vikings! Crash! Crunch! Our Viking longboat rammed onto some rocks near a cliff, the light beacon had tricked us! Get off the boat! yelled the muscular skipper. I grabbed my weapons and leaped over the side and struck out for shore, when all of a sudden a fierce storm broke out. The already large waves were ten foot walls of water and the salt spray was stinging my eyes, I stopped, marked time, and then it happened. It started out as a small swirling whirlpool and grew to take down the longboat when a large wave pushed me into the surging mass of water. I gulped down the salty water of the raging sea as I tried to get a firm grip onto a boulder, without success. I was going to drown, though I couldn ' t bear the thought. I knew I was going to die! Groggy as I was I got up and looked about me. This place wasn ' t familiar and the last I could remember I was drown- ing. But who cares ' ? I ' m alive. Wow! I have on new furs. Foosh! I hit the ground as a blinding light passed over me and when I looked up I saw Thor, the god of Thunder, with his magical hammer. His voice boomed out like a war drum. Thee kneel when the Almighty Thor speaketh. Chosen one, thou must go on a perilous quest to save Woden, your brother, from the evil clutches of Browsicora, a truly evil hunter of slaves. Beware Thoden, and may the gods watch over thee. And with that he was gone. I was left standing there with a charm to aid me when confronting the witch, a shiny, new sword and sheath and some leather sandals with little wings, plus a red cloak, the colour of blood. I would get my brother Woden free! I gathered up the weapons and the charm, slipped on my sandals and yelled Fly to Browsicora ' s castle! The sandals had carried me right out side of her castle walls which 1 was climbing when something pierced my left arm. It was an arrow! I yelled and dropped to the other side of the was clutching my wound. I pulled the arrow out of my arm and started an iron-clashing sword fight with some guards. After that I looked at where I could get into the castle. A high window looked like a good possibility. So 1 climbed up and jumped through. I walked out to a hallway and chose another door. I looked into a tiled checker-board with big steel plates on the ceiling. Upon stepping onto a tile a huge metal plate came crashing down almost simultane- ously. I jumped out of the way just in time. Hmm. I said to myself, I stepped on a white tile, maybe if I step on a black tile I can get across. So 1 stepped on a black tile hesitantly and nothing happened. I came to another room with some stairs that led downward to where Woden was chained to a wall. There was a key hanging next to him. I got him free, hugged him and said, I am your brother, Woden. He replied, Oh, thank you, brother of mi... What ' s this? Brrowsicora cried as she walked in, I will turn you into one of my slaves. My hand moved towards my pouch with the charm and I pulled out a ball of light. I held it in front of Browsicora while she screamed and started vanishing, until there was nothing left of her. Back where I had met Thor I returned the cloak, the charm and the sword and sheath. Thou may keep the sword and sheath to remember thine adventure, Thor said. Thank you, Woden and I said in unison. Now thou must go to the world of ' Valhalla with me, since thou must tell not of thine adventure. We clasped hands and I felt a sensation go through me, when foosh! we were off to the world of Valhalla! - J. Griffiths A Christmas Mystery Tale Silent Night, Holy Night, came the sound from the great pastures down below which had been covered in pure white snow. This hap- pened every day on Christmas eve in the friendly village of Chimes. Every year after dinner they would gather round the Christmas tree and sing a few carols, before the children went to bed. But after a few years the grouch on the cliff overhanging the pastures was getting tired of this so he decided to stop it. He. ..He. ..He laughed the grouch thinking of his evil plot. All was silent when the bell struck twelve. Time for my plan to go into action , said the old grouch. The grouch put on his shiny new red cloth jacket with it ' s white cotton lining and his shiny black boots and belt. He pulled his sled out of the closet. It has clear shiny streamers and fiberglass boards all varnished. He went to the other side of the house where it was a steep slope When he has got down to the little village of Chimes he saw that Santa had been and started to take down all of the wreaths and rede- corated the big tree in the middle of the village. He redecorated trees inside people ' s houses, he took trees, food, he took presents from stockings he took decorations, lights, he even took the candy canes from children ' s hands, he took T.V.s he took refrigerators, he even took the wood from the fireplace. By the time he had taken everything it was nearly dawn so he mounted his sled and started back up the hill. By the time he got home it was dawn and he had a little nap. He was awoken by a sweet sound. He walked outside and his little heart was broken and he went back down the hill and gave them their presents back. - Nathan Browne 37 COMMITTEE OF 25 - SALTUS JUNIOR ARM For the past fifteen years, members of The Saltus Junior Arm of the Committee of 25 for HaiiclicappecJ Children have upheld the ideals of their motto. THE HELPING HAND, by following these aims:- To develop a carini , thoughtful understanding of the special needs of handicapped children, and to raise funds to help ease the burden of their special problems. In the climate of current national and world problems of smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, aids and teenage suicide, these aims have been re-evaluated and expanded. The following addition is now con- sidered to be topical, relevant and essential: To develop in ourselves and in other children, an awareness of the dangers of smoking, drinking and taking drugs, by learning how such substance abuse can affect the body, and thereby to prevent severe handicaps to healthy children in the future. This year ' s project, related to the above aim. evolved from Science lessons in Human Biology, when pupils learned about the dangers of Here are a few brief excerpts from BERMUDA AS WE SEE IT - BOOK 2. Q. In what ways could drugs limit your freedom if you became addicted? A. You could become dependent on them and so would be unable to have a good life. Instead you ' d have no money and you might become crazy or suicidal.- Michael Luce A. You could become involved with the law and put in jail for many years. You could get aids or cancer - both incurable diseases. - Steven Whitecross. A. You ' d be dependant on them, always out of the world, high, so how could you be free? - Timothy Lee A. Your mind would be so full of worry about your next fix that you wouldn ' t have time to do anything good or sensible. - Douglas DeCouto A. You ' d become dependant on things like marijuana, heroin, cocaine, and then NOTHING ELSE WOULD MATTER! - Steven Sainsbury. A. I wouldn ' t be able to think straight because I ' d spend my time getting high! - Christopher Heinecke substance abuse, the importance of healthy habits, g ood nutrition and exercise, how to cope with peer pressure, and how to establish and maintain healthy lifestyles by focusing on sports and other hobbies. In i ' ollow up Art lessons, colourful anti-substance abuse posters were produced, then the children expressed their thoughts, feelings, concerns and fears relating to these substances, in Creative Writing and Science lessons. Their participation in this work permitted the students to relate to, and confront, at their level, the many problems that trouble our community, and enable them to realise that they must make good decisions and healthy choices, to avoid becoming a future generation of handicapped children. With our publication, the Junior Arm of the Committe of 25. hope not only to stimulate other children into thinking and discussing their own similar problems with parents, friends and teachers, but also to raise funds for Bermuda ' s handicapped children. Describe your thoughts and feelings about Drugs and Alcohol 8A Drugs and Alcoholism problems need to be faced before they can be ended! - Theodore Francis Alcohol causes you to be tipsy and feel funny. Too much of it can kill you. People who use drugs are losers! - Michael Maughan You could be locked up for life, you could be fired or get prosecuted for drug crimes. You could get aids. You could get other friends hooked. You could get in big trouble with the law, and teachers. You may even commit suicide. - James Adder ley Drugs are the number one problem in our community. People who take them are stupid. Drugs take away your freedom, and you can ' t hold a job. Instead you rob houses. LSD stays in your bloodstrean for years, even after only one shot, years later you can still be acting weird. You have probably seen 48 Hours on Crack Street . Crack is one of the worse drugs. Drugs are also illegal, can you imagine a life jail sentence as well as a sick body? It ' s terrible. Dirty needles can give you AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) whick can kill you. That is what Drugs can do to our life. They are NOT cool or macho. I have already made my decision. I am not going to take drugs. I hope your decision will be the same. - Douglas DeCouto PETER STRUDWICK AND HOPE HOMES 1 -HI Project - Hope Homes following a visit and talk by Pcler Strudwick, the footless maralhoner. on (he May 23rd.. the boys were ins|iirc(l lo donate their pocket money in a march ol ' dimes l ' oi- ' I ' hc Mope Homes.

FIRST AID AWARDS - 1987 The following boys have earned their Red Cross Junior First Aid Certificate this year:- Shimon Alkon, Jamal Bean, Justin Kendal, Matthew Lee, Timothy Noyes, Stephen Sainsbury, Justin Sousa, Dion Wool- ridge. THANK YOU: It is obvious in a small school that the number of extra curricula activities that can be offered to the students is regulated by the number and interests of the staff on roll. We are always so grateful when our essentially limited range of activities is augmented by interested parents who are prepared to run clubs in their own field of interest and expertise. We thank them sincerely for their time and interest.

It is always difficult to anticipate how children will take to the variety and balance of their new programme. We now offer a total of eleven different sports in both curriculum and club time, seven of which involve house competitions. How nice it is to be able to say that almost every boy in the school has represented his house m at least one activity. SWIMMING The year began with the Junior School ' s inaugeral swimming gala. On a hot day, the gala proved to be a great success. Over one hundred and fifty boys participated in keenly contested events with Watlington being the overall victors. Several J4 boys excelled and are certain to maintain the school ' s dominance in local swimming. In particular, S. Fahy, J. Negro, and T. Tucker are very strong swimmers and show a great deal of promise. So, after their performances in the house championships, the team for the national championships was selected. Several boys, who would have been automatic selections at other schools, were disappointed not to make the team. However, competition is a healthy thing and perhaps those boys on the verge of this year ' a team, will be spurred on to train even harder for next year ' s championships. The following boys represented the school, achieving no less than eleven first places in seventeen events and thus securing the trophy: J. Negro, T. Tucker, S. Fahy, N. Swain, J. Hammond, A. Butterworth, P. Johnson, A. Smith, A. Taft, S. Maranzana, and J. Bean. In the relay meet the team won eight of the ten events, being disqualified in one. The disqualification did cause some anxious moments for the spectators as it allowed Port Royal a statistical chance of catching us. However, we came through in the end to retain the trophy by a five point margin. Several boys, who did not make the individual championships, were given the opportunity to swim, joining those mentioned above, and performed creditably. They were:- M. Boden, E. Jensen, J-P. Dyer, T. Furr, T. Ferguson, J. Quinn, and G. Howarth. The school continu ' es to dominate local swimming and looks set to do so for the next few years. Well done swim team! SOCCER Soccer continues to improve within the school, and this year the school team achieved its greatest success to date, finishing equal second, with Elliot, in the six-a-side finals. The boys played with a great deal of determination and enthusiam to defeat both West End and East End schools. However, they could not overcome the talented Elliot side, and were defeated by the eventual champions, Purvis. Nethertheless, a creditable performance proving that Saltus soccer is now well and truly on the map! In contrast, we were not quite so successfull in our nine-a-side season. The team only played four fixtures, as Mount Saint Agnes dropped out of the league. West Pembroke inflicted two rather heavy defeats upon us and went on to the semi-finals of the national cham- pionships. The most exciting game of the season was against Dellwood when, having gone three nil down, the team fought back to level the - ' . i ' M ' scores, only to see Dellwood snatch the winner with seconds remain- ing. However, we did manage to defeat Dellwood in the final game of the regular season. The singular most important lesson that the boys learnt this season was how much easier the game is when you ' re in front! The results were; Dellwood Saltus West Pembroke Saltus (Browne 2) 3 Saltus (Browne 2, Ingham) 5 West Pembroke 2 Saltus (Outerbridge, Lee) 1 Dellwood Alasdair Younie captained the side and led by example. Tafari Outerbridge was, without doubt, the most outstanding player and has a great deal of ability. Nathan Browne has the knack of being in the right place at the right ti me and was our leading scorer. However, soccer isn ' t just about individuals and, although I ' ve mentioned three players in particular, all of the squad worked hard on their skills and deserve considerable praise for their efforts throughout the season. The following were members of the soccer squad:- N. Browne, A. Davis, T. Ferguson, C. Heinicke, J. Hubbard, J. Ingham, M. Lee, J. Leman, R. Macintyre, S. Maranzana, R. Melotti, T. Outerbridge, J. Quinn, C. Singleton. R. Steinhoff. J. Wheddon, D. Woolricge, A. Younie. The house soccer competition was an exciting affair, with Saltus just edging out Watlington for the trophy. It all hinged on the J7 round of the tournament with Saltus eventually clinching the title. The games were fiercely competitive, played at a fast pace, and enjoyed by spectators and players alike. 41 Basketball Basketball was another new activity to the boys this year and proved to be a great success. From January to April the boys developed Iheir skills and, finally, ended the season with the house championships. It really was great to .see them competing so enthusiastically in a new sport, and what rapid progress they made. Watlington, yet again, were the overall victors, although Butterfield gave them a good run for their money. Next year we also hope to an ange some fixtures against other schools. Cross Country The cross country season, after the Christmas break, is always a good way to get boys back into some sort of shape after the festivities. Every boy in the school has to do six runs, their times being recorded to monitor their progress. Even for the ones who really dislike this event I ' m sure, if asked, would say that they got some satisfaction from improving their times. The best twelve runners from each house then competed in the school championships. This year, unlike last year, it was clear from very early on who was going to win each race. In the junior race Stephen Fahy set a new record with his time of 5 minutes 28 seconds. In second place was Jack Wilson, and in third place Haile Outerbridge. In the senior race Tafari Outerbridge finished first with a time of 7 minutes 31 seconds. In second place was Julian Wheddon, and in third place Tommy Sherratt. However, it was far from clear which house was going to win the trophy. Saltus finished first overall in the junior race and second in -the senior race. Normally this would be enough to secure the trophy, but not this year! So strong were the Watlington senior team, that they managed to get ten runners out of the first twenty to finish. This includes the amazing feat of having Watlington runners achieve all places from third to eight inclusive. Consequently they leap-frogged Saltus to finish first and gain their second trophy of the year. The final results were as follows; 3rd Butterfield 336 points 2nd Saltus 391 points 3rd Butterfield 476 points 4th Darrell 479 points In the National Championships, the junior team achieved a very creditable fifth place, and the senior team finished ninth. Our first five runners in each event were; Juniors Seniors S. Fahy 9th T. Outerbridge 20th J. Wilson 33rd J. Wheddon 30th H. Outerbridge 34th N. Strong 44th N. Jones 46th T. Sherratt 59th C. Evans 53rd P. Coleman 65th At this age, it isn ' t very often that you see a boy really set his stall out to achieve .something, either in a road race, or in a cross-country event, by training really hard. Julian Wheddon spent the whole year training to improve his performance and, through his dedication, gained a first place in the B.T.F. A. Junior Cross-Country Champion- ships. Very well done Julian and keep it up! ' I nfni i Oiilci 1)1 iil ' r . iiliaii Wlicddoii Sports Day After having to postpone twice, Sports Day finally took place in glorious sunshine, proving that it was well worth the wait. As always, the competition was fierce, support vociferous, and sandwiches tasty! A few parents are always curious as to why their son might only be in one event, or, indeed, none at all on the actual day. We do try to arrange it so that as many boys as possible participate by limiting the number of events that an individual may enter, and offer everyone the opportunity to run in the Open 1500ni. However, sometimes there are boys who only spectale on the day. It is difficult to have a foolproof system which enables all (;f those boys who want to participate to do so, without forcing those who would rather spectate to run. The structure of our programme allows everyone to participate in the 1500m. should they want to. However, we do like Sports Day to be a track meet, rather than a mixture of ' party games ' and running. From past experience it is clear that most boys would rather spectate than be involved in some sort of event which might result in them being laughed at or ridiculed. What must also be remembered is that Sports Day, although our showpiece, is only one of seven house competitions, each of which is equally impor- tant. Perhaps the answer is to encourage those few boys that were disappointed, to try even harder during their track and field lessons as to ensure that they participate on Sports Day. Dion Woolridge Tarfari Outerbridge There were some outstanding performances on the track, none more impressive than Dion Woolridge winng the 100m in a record time of 13.7 seconds. In the National Championships Dion won a gold in the Long Jump and 100m, and a silver in the 75m. However, even Dion cannot denny that the most outstanding athlete of the day was Tafari Outerbridge. Tafari won four track events, including the Open 1500m. and was awarded the Victor Ludorum. The Junior Champion was Stephen Fahy, who also won four events. riicrc arc no pi i .es for guessing which house won the trophy - Wat- lington again by a substantial margin. What a year they have had and, according to Mr. Ik-asley, their success is due to inspired leadership at staff level! Perhaps Ihoy receive some sort of magic potion at house meetings? 42 The ' Angel Race ' is under orders Whoops! I ' ve dropped my hand Tense inoniei Deserters Keeping an eye open for Carry on. Captain. Aye, aye, sir! At the time of going to print we are approaching our last two house sporting competions of the year in cricket and Softball. Hopefully Butterfield and Darrell will be able to break the stranglehold that Watlington currently have on sport in the Junior School, so as to win their first trophies of the year. At least Saltus won the soccer! So, the Junior School ' s seven house sporting competitions are swim- ming, soccer, cross-country, basketball, track and field, softball, and cricket. Apart from the above, the boys are also taught some formal and educational gymnastics, and are offered clubs in squash, badmin- ton, and table-tennis. For boys of their age, I think that they enjoy a varied and well-balanced programme. - K. Peacock WESTFIELD CUP SOCCER TOUR LiH)l mum - clean teeth on tour! Metropolitan Life Westfield Cup 1987 During the holiday weekend of May 22nd - 25th, the Saltus junior School soccer team, together with a side from the Senior School, took part in the Metropolitan Life Westfield Cup, in Westfield, New Jersy. The tour party consisted of the following players:- N. Browne, D. Dodwell, T. Ferguson, J, Ingham (Vice-captain), M. Lee, J. Leman, R. Maclntyre, R. Melotti, T. Outerbridge, J. Quinn, T. Sherratt, C. Singleton, R. Steinhoff, D. Woolridge, and A. Younie (Captain). It was an extremely well organised tournament with a total of some eighty teams participating. The teams were mainly from the New Jersey area, although there was one team from Canada and, obviously, ourselves from Bermuda. There were five different age categories for both girls and boys. In our first game we were defeated 5-0 by Westfield Patriots, the eventual runners-up in our league. We were unlucky to lose the next two games, against Mount Olive United and Woodbridge Warriors, by a score of 3-2. With a little more good fortune we could have reversed both scorelines and prog- ressed into the semi-finals. Nevertheless, we did win our final game against Wayne Sportfriend by a 3-1 margin. Nathan Browne was our leading scorer with four goals. All team mem- bers played well and were a credit to the school. Whilst in Westfield, our team members were hosted by families, who were very kind in organising accommodation, transportation and outings. It was a most enjoyable trip and a good experience. Perhaps the most surprising thing of the whole trip was the high standard of the girls soccer. I ' m glad that we didn ' t have to play any of them!

All we forgot was the cheerleaders 43 MUSIC IN THE JUNIOR SCHOOL (Music Report 1986-87) This year has been very busy as usual, with the choir per- forming regularly at various functions and concerts. In the Christmas term the boys were, in fact, rather over commit- ted, since, because of a confusion of dates they had to perform at two different places, Camden and the Mid-Ocean Club on the same day. However, they showed their usual discipline and stamina and were excellent ambassadors for the school in every respect. Musically and otherwise (organi- sation of transport and equipment) we were greatly helped on this occasion by Mr. Adams and Mr. Drummond. Our focal point for the year was the production of the musical Drake . Since the scores arrived rather late there was a bit of a panic immediately after the Christmas term to learn the words of the work in three weeks - a remarkable feat. Once again the boys sacrificed lunch-times and week- ends to perfect their performance. « ' -li — «  The school orcnestra has played regularly this year for morning assemblies. We are very fortunate indeed to have the expertise we enjoy in the form of instrumental teaching, with Mr. Drummond (woodwind). The Menuhin Foundation (strings) and Mr. Van Wie (brass). There are quite a few promising musicians m the school at the moment, and I am very impressed with the level of attainment generally. Sixty boys passed the theory examinations of The Royal Schools of Music (Grade 1-4), and twenty boys succeeded in passing practical examinations in various instruments (Grades 1-5). Congratulations to all successful candidates. The practical examinations, particularly, demand a great deal of dedication and self discipline. It should be noted however that the examination system is not for all children. Robert Melotti, who has not followed the Royal Schools syllabus, is an outstanding violinist who is probably playing at Grade 7-8 level - quite an achievement at the age of ten. Recorder playing within the school continues to flourish. All boys learn to play and it is imperative that every student has his own instrument - both for personal practise and in the interest of hygiene. Music in the Junior department could not function as successfully without the support of parents and friends. I am indebted to all those who have helped in any way during this extremely active year. Thank you all very much indeed. - Marjoric Pcliil 44 The Association Board of The Royal School of Music (Theory ResuUs) Grade 1 Noel Ashford Craig Brown Hywel Brown Jamel Bean Michael Branco Christopher Burns Jesse de Couto Richard Daisley Jeremy Hammond Trevor Hedges Erik Jensen Niel Jones Charles Judd Timothy Lee Tony Morrow Adam Outerbridge Michael Parsons Kenneth Robinson Kent smith Thomas Seinhoff Cameron Snaith Nigel Swain Britten West Louis Wong Dion Woolridge Grade 2 Rhys Baptiste Andrew Butterworth Steven Cardwell Jonathan Cassidy Mathew Davies David Dodwell Jean-Paul Dyer Christopher Heinicke Jonathan Ingham Jeremy Lam Jason Leman Alexander Leonard Richard Lines Seth Lowe Michael Maughan Robert Melotti Douglas Parker Jonathan Quinn Thomas Sherratt Robin Simmons Colm Singleton Andrew Smith David Smith Michael Starling Nicholas Strong James Thompson Marcus Wells Grade 3 Marc Boden James Hubbard George Masters Andrew Riker Grade 4 Douglas de Couto Nicholas Fagundo Marc Lomas Robert Steinhoff Alisdair Younie The Association Board of The Royal Schools of Music (Practical Exams) Piano - Grade 1 hywel Brown - Distinction Seth Lowe - Distinction Andrew Smith - Merit Michael Starling - Merit Treadwell Tucker - Pass Piano - Grade 2 Douglas DeCouto - Pass Nicholas Fagundo - Merit Jeremy Hammond - Pass George Masters - Merit Geovanni Simon - Pass Piano - Grade 3 Jeremy Lam - Distinction Trumpet - Grade 3 Steven Cardwell - Merit Matthew Davies - Merit Richard Lines - Pass Alexander Rollin - Pass Violin - Grade 1 Trevor Hedges - Distinction Violin - Grade 2 David Dodwell - Pass Robin Simmons - Pass Music Prizes for the academic year 1986-87 were awarded to the following boys:- Instrumental (Junior) - Trevor Hedges Instrumental (Senior) - Robert Melotti Musicianship (Junior) - Mark Lomas Musicianship (Senior) - Robert Steinhoff Flute - Grade 5 James Hubbard - Pass Clarinet - Grade 3 Mark Lomas - Merit Geovanni simon - Pass Robert Steinhoff - Pass Oboe - Grade 3 Alisdair Younie - Merit Saxophone - Grade 3 David Dodwell - Merit 100 150 (PASS) 120 150 (MERIT) 130 150 (DISTINCTION) 45 DRAKE Only for Mr. Adams would I go on stage in tights, panty hose and bloomers, in front of a crowd! - Alexander Leonard A Musical Comedy In iwo Acta.

Come out whoever you are All m own work 48 INNOCENTS ABROAD Les Professeurs Ski Trip To Morgins, Switzerland - Easter 1987 May angry impatient faces greeted us as we entered our delayed plane to Switzerland. We had been in London for a brief stay, merely two days, and were, at last, at Gatwick airport preparing to fly to Geneva. We were indirectly responsible for the delay as our coach had broken down on its way to pick up from the Royal National Hotel. We eventually had to travel to the airport in taxis, arriving some two hours late for departure. Nevetheless, the flight was somewhat shorter than we had expected and we were soon on our way to Morgins. When we arrived at the hotel we immediately started off with a snowball fight. The rest of the evening was spent acquainting ourselves with the hotel and having dinner.. Next day we started skiing. Many hours were spent bombing hills, grabbing lifts and, once or twice, falling over (some more than others!) The scenery was totally breathtaking. Jumping was one of our favour- ites. Tobogganing was another. Learning also took a great part in the trip. Our teachers were extremely skilled and efficient. I think we owe them one! Skiing was great! 1 loved the whizz of frost in my face as I bombed the slopes. Breathing the fresh, crisp air was heaven. Every day started off with the fitting of equipment and the walk to the chair-lift. A weird sensation went tingling through as we ascended the steep mountain, our skis dangling below us. When the whirr of the machinery could be heard at the top we quickly prepared for our day on the slopes. Our daily routine was to have two lessons, each lasting two hours. We learned new techniques, or improved on things such as the snow plough, parallel turns, and side-stepping. We were split into two different groups, the advanced and the beginners. The advanced improved their skiing, whilst the beginners learned how to ski. At the end of the week, everyone received a certificate and badge according to the standard they achieved. Although there were a few bad falls. I think overall everybody had a good time. Finally, it was time to leave. We all sighed as we watched the snow-clad mountains disappear, knowing that it would soon be time to return to school and back to reality. First back to London for some more sightseeing, then on to good old Bermuda. Well, it was fun while it lasted and a great experience! - Timothy Lee 7S Undergroimded! Grounded! 49 SUMMER SCHOOL Because Summer School runs after the dead-line for collating yearbook material, these photos and articles refer to the 1986 Summer School. Drama I like Summer School because of Recess. You can get everything for a hot day. My best subject is Maths and English. One other best bit is HOME TIME! - Jack Wilson. Class 1 I do not like Maths, but I do like Summer School... Class 1 Charles Ho. Summer School has been very exciting for me. I really liked the activities - swimming, computers, craft, art and drama. In swimming we raced and swam. Computers was super fun, we had a ball on them, playing the various games. Craft was as good as gold, we dyed shirts and made a delicious pizza. In art we made pots and we all had fun. And I ' m not forgetting drama; Mr. Adams made sure we had fun. Yes, Summer School did make us work as well; in the beginning of the morning we had some maths and English with our class teacher. Too soon it all came to an end. Steven Cardwell. Class 4 The Activity I will remember is when we went swimming in the Saltus pool... What I like best was diving off the diving board. - Daijl Fubler. Class 1 Thoughts on Summer School Summer School is nice. I like Drama the most, but I like the com- prehension sheets and the Basic Maths book. It ' s something to do in the summer, instead of getting a sunburn at the beach. I look forward to it. You meet your friends there, and you don ' t forget your tables! - Cameron Snaith. Class 3 I really enjoy Summer School because of the activities. The one I like best is Drama; we play games that everybody likes. 1 also liked serving things from the Tuck-shop, because I ' m in the top class. In Maths our teacher gave us some Maths that I didn ' t understand, but I still like Summer School because it is something to do during the long vacation. When it closes 1 am going to miss the activities and my friends. - James Adder ley. Class 4 I will remember all the clubs they had at Summer School, and the Maths and English which I got a lot of Recs for. I also liked my teacher. 1 loved the Tuck Shop, where they sold lots of popsicles. Summer School was fun and I hope to come again. - Rayo Rahul. Class 1 In Drama we made up languages, and sometimes we played games. - Jeffrey Kirkwood. Class 1 Swimming Pottery ' What I like about Summer School is English, Math and Recess. I like recess because you can buy lollypops, drinks and granolarbars. There is a dog called Boss. He is the janitor ' s dog. He stays in our classroom; and once he ate my recess when I was not looking! - Colin Evans. Class 1 I would definitely remember Maths because I got almost everything wrong! and 1 like Boss because sometimes he jumps up like a bouncy ball when Miss Wilkie comes in. 1 liked all the activities, and I liked English. I hoped to do better in Maths next year. - Keven de Silva. Class 1 I liked the activities, and Boss with his wagalish tail. And 1 liked the cockroach we found in one of the boy ' s desks! - Quentin Carniicliael . Class I Top Dog - Boss of Summer School! 50 PARENTS ' PAGE Co-ordinators: Mrs Barbara Thompson and Mrs. Bonnie Dodwell Class mothers Short order chefs Field Supervisors CLASS MOTHERS ' REPORT 1986-1987 PARENTAL HELP THIS YEAR. Again, it has been a busy year for the Class Mothers. The lunch program is going well. We are going to rename the kitchen The Gourmet Corner (just joking, Ms. Wilkie!). This year we have had such offerings as Beef Pies, Pizza, Chili and Chicken. Many thanks to all of those mothers concerned. Our yearly activities have all been successes - the Christmas Toy Collection for Foster Homes and the Hospitals, the Easter Competition (what artistry the boys displayed!), Class Sales, and, of course, the refreshments served at functions throughout the year. Our funds have been put to good use with some much needed new equipment for the kitchen being purchased as well as new blinds and drapes in several classrooms. Two popular items are the new concrete planters - Mrs. Latter ' s green thumb is being overworked now, 1 fear, and, to be installed for next September, a large screen T. V. and video recorder. The educational videos available now are superb and this will be an excellent supplement to the boys classes. There are over thirty National Geographic videos alone that are fabulous! In closing, we just want to thank all the parents (fathers, also) for all their support.

Mr. Ross has been a member of the senior school staff for the past six years and during that time his contributions have been many and varied. Mr. Ross ' academic record is outstanding and there are many students who can count themselves prixiieged to have encountered him as a physics master. Mr. Ross is well known locally as a fine tennis player and he has been instrumental in reawakening interest in tennis in school. We wish him every good fortune and we hope that he w ill keep in touch and let us know what his future may hold. We welcome Mr. Lyndon Budd. B.A. Hons.. P.G.C.E., M.A. (lower left) who joins the English staff; Mr. Graham Gottard, B.Sc, P.G.C.E.. (upper left) who will be teaching physics, and Alan McCormick. B.Sc. P.G.C.E.. M.Sc, P.G.D.P. (below) who is a Bio-Physi- cist. We wish all our new staff members all the best for their future at Saltus. 52 Head Boy ' s Message 1987 Norman Timmins, S.G.S. Head Boy With the culmination of my school career ar Saltus, I can reflect upon its impact and its future implications. It has clearly provided me with a firm foundation and with the groundwork for future achieve- ments. Though in depth study and solid preparation for college work, the Senior Year Programme has enabled me to grasp my capabilities and also realise my limitations. Through a variety of responsibilities, both inside the school and outside of it, it have been able to realise the responsibility that I must always take, not only for myself but for other people as well. Responsibility must be taken for the care of others in a world which seems to care less and less about people. True success can be achieved by giving of care and compassion to others, I feel. We must learn to work if we hope to excel and realise our full scope. We are single blades of grass but our existence in the field is vital and we are as important as the blade which stands next to us. Each person will have his day: some will last longer. We must always strive towards the highest of goals. Our ultimate aim should be to make the world a better place for those who follow.

Mr. Drummond ' s wind grou p who rehearsed regularly on a Saturday morn- ing, gave a splendid account of them- selves both at Carol ' s for All and then again in the February Concert. In the latter programme, the solo performances were most worthy, particularly those of Azaro, Kermode and Semos. For the tenth consecutive year, we have been represented at the Lion ' s con- vention in New York State. Graham Maule was chosen to play with a 100 strong specially selected band which was on hand to entertain the delegates. The Band Concert, this time per- formed in our own Assembly Hall, was well supported by an enthusiastic audi- ence demonstrating just how worthwhile (and necessary) is Band Camp, held the previous weekend. Pieces like ' The Dam Busters and The Romeo and Juliet Fan- tasy Overture ' were certainly challeng- ing but with careful practice were within the scope of all Band members. The Christmas Term concluded with Carols for All. Again the choir joined with that of St. John ' s, strengthened with many friends and parents to perform carols old and new. A new departure was the inclusion of a professional jazz band (in which some of our Senior boys play) playing very lively rock versions of well known Christmas pieces. It is encouraging to note that three boys will be going to Interlochen Music Camp this summer for some eight weeks and I gather others are planning to attend next year. Congratulations to the people who did well in the R.S.M. Music Exams this year. The demands in the higher grades are exacting but well worth the effort. - William Duncan.

Al len The Duke of Edinburgh ' s Award Scheme It was especially pleasing to see the four bcjys receive their Gold Awards which along with six Silver Awards and six Bronze Awards were presented at a Gfjvernment House Ceremony by Governor Vis- count Dunrossil. The Gold Awards represent a great deal of work and deternnination on the part of the four boys who have progressed through the various levels of the scheme over the past five years. The Gold Award is not easy to achieve and the fact that participants have until they are 25 years old to complete the scheme shows that it is not something to be taken lightly. Many adults have helped them in their struggle to achieve their Gold Awards and it is to be hoped that they too will feel proud of their contribution which has lead to the boys ' success. Messrs. Beard, Janes and Duncan helped the boys within school but many others from outside freely gave of their time to help and encour- age the boys to reach their final goal. The many and varied activities of the scheme often involve helping other people but the section that participants always remember the most vividly is the expedition. Bronze and Silver level expeditions can take place on the island but Gold expeditions require more demanding terrain where survival techniques and navigation are at a premium. To complete this section of the scheme six boys successfully undertook their Gold expedition in Algonquin Park, Ontario. Canada in July 1986. Special thanks must go to the many local firms that sponsored the boys in their fund raising Trashathon . An account written by two of the expeditions members accompanies this article. Bronze expeditions took place on three separate occasions but the most memorable moment came when one of the boys was seen to be pushing a baby stroller, loaded with his bag, along the road! His legs had become sore so the abandoned stroller was repaired and put to service to relieve further suffering. Initiative or cheating? A silver expedition included a camp on Burts Island with a roaring fire, burnt hamburgers, burnt potatoes, burnt buns and burnt hotdogs. This night of pyromania was followed by a much cooler camp at Pokiok Farm when the intrepid explorers ran out of cooking fuel and had to eat a selection of luke warm meals topped with congealed fat. The things people eat when they are tired and hungry never ceases to amaze! It is to be hoped that as many of the boys as possible will carry on to the next level of the scheme and eventually acquire a coveted Gold Award. A Gold expedition to take place in wild country in July 1988 is presently on the minds of the recent Silver recipients.

After an unforgettable flight, we arrive in Toronto and were directed to our mini-bus. After a long drive, consisting of wrong turns, McDonald ' s breaks for some and several emergency stops for others. Brian relaxing in the company of one of the little woodland creatures!

Douglas we f inally reached our destination at 3 a.m. We then proceeded to find a site and set up camp; not an easy task in the dark. After a much appreciated rest, we began Sunday morning with a restful familiarization of the area around our base camp, called Pog Lake, which after our main expedition we dubbed Pog Hotel . The latter part of the morning involved purchasing provisisions for the day ahead and the main expedition. In the afternoon we walked two short trails, Beaver Lake and Spruce Bog, preparing ourselves for the ruggedness of the terrain, and unfortunately, the pain of blistered feet. Tired and hungry, we gathered around the campfire to put our culinary skills to the test, a test I am sure we all failed. The next day we continued to break in our hiking boots and become better acquainted with the terrain by walking a longer (11km) trail called Mizzy Lake. During this trek we had time to observe different types of Canadian wildlife, this ranged from turtles and tadpoles to size of golf balls to the countless species of birds. Also on this trail we had our first of many encounters with the millions of annoying mosquitos and horse-flies. Once again tired and hungry we returned to our camp site. That evening we dined at a roadside cafe, our last decent meal before the gruelling test ahead of us. We arose early on Tuesday morning, preparing to conquer the Western Uplands Backpacking Trail 71km loop. Equipped with our backpacks, boots and provisions for the four day - three night exped- ition. Mr. Solliss set off with us but after walking a few miles decided to return to civilization. We had walked several miles without seeing any people, when we encountered a group of six English girls walking in the opposite direction and almost at the end of their journey. Their description of what lay ahead of us almost made us turn back. Needless to say their description of the rough country was quite true. We arrived at our first campsite on schedule and wearily set up our tents. That evening we dined on freeze-dried Beef Stroganoff, adding to our long list of unforgettable ordeals. We certainly slept well that night. The second day proved to be more evenful than the first. We discovered that the trail suddenly ended from time to time at the edge of a river or bog and then continued again at the other side, causing us to wade through thick mud and sludge to continue our path. At one such location, Tom decided to wade bare footed through the water, only to find that he was the victim of a leach, a painful discovery! Despite setbacks such as these, we still arrived at our next campsite on time, where we hungrily dined on a much deserved dinner of freeze-dried Lasagna. Although the third day was relatively uneventful, the night had in store for us a farcical escapade that I am sure Brian and I will never forget. During the night when everyone was asleep, Brian and I were awakened by something large crashing through the brush. To this day, neither of us knows what it was, but our imaginations sure ran wild that night! Awakened the next day by the chattering of raccoons and the squawking of birds, we broke camp and set out on the final stage of our journey, each of us planning our after meal of real food, and longing for a shower. I never thought I would say this, but Mr. Solliss was a sight for sore eyes, as he met us at the end of the trail, loaded with food and drinks. We returned to Pog Hotel and made straight for the showers. That afternoon, we dined luxuriously at our favourite roadside cafe, keeping the cooks extremely busy, before returning to Pog for the night. The next three days were the fun filled days, with canoeing, a trip to Canada ' s Wonderland and Toronto ' s Yonge Street. We all thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. On behalf of myself and the other students (Jamie Comes, Jonathan Cooper, Tom Chasser, Drew Douglas and Brian Husley) I would like to take this opportunity in closing to extend our sincere thanks to all our sponsors, and a special thanks to Mr. Solliss for his time and patience throughout the scheme and for making the trip and the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, Bronze, Silver and Gold possible. Many thanks, - Billy Paterson. 63 The Post Graduate Year In Septe mber, Saltus will be inaugurating the Post-Graduate Year, a co-edu- ational college preparatory course which has developed from, and is an exten- tion of, the earlier Senior Year programme. Open to all students who are able to satisfy the entrance requirements, the Post-Graduate Year is designed to prepare individuals for entry into institutions of higher education whilst still in a structured and nurturing environment. In addition to academic preparation, much emphasis is placed upon developing those personal qual- ities of maturity, self-discipline and responsibility which are so necessary for success at the higher level. We firmly believe however, that the Post-Graduate Year should not be seen merely as a stepping stone to college and a subsequent career, but rather that the experience should have a significant and lasting value in itself. Thus a wide range of extra-curricular activities will be available to both boys and girls, and students will be encouraged to play a full and meaningful role in the corporate life of the Saltus community. Academic work will continue to be centred around the Advanced Placement Examinations of the college Entrance Examination Board, and students will still be required to take a minimum of four major and two minor subjects. All of the courses previously studied in Senior Year will again be offered, yet we have increased the student ' s choice with the addition of new minors in ' Media Studies ' and ' Science in Society ' . To enable such a range of subjects to be offered, further full-time staff have been employed in the Science and English Departments. Following a very successful ' Open House ' in January, applications have been received from students presently attending Saltus, Bermuda High School for Girls, Warwick Academy, Berkely Institute, and Warwick Secondary, as well as from schools abroad. From a large pool of applicants, fifty-three conditional admissions have been made accepted. Whilst this number will undoubtedly change before September, it has been clear that both students and parents have recognized the quality of the Programme and the experience which Saltus possesses in this field. Saltus, for its part, remains commited to providing an education of the highest quality for all students and to foster and encourage what is best in each individual. Such is the level of that commitment that, in addition to recognising academic excellence through the award of scholarships, the school has offered generous financial assistance to those students who might not otherwise be able to enjoy our Post-Graduate Year and who might not therefore realise their full potential. Such assistance is available to deserving students who complete the Post-Graduate Year to offset the cost of their first year at university or college. We at Saltus are naturally looking forward to September and to the begin- ning of the programme which we feel will benefit both the students and the school and ultimately Bermuda it.self. We have always recognised that the presence in the upper part of the school of mature young men and women with good academic standards and a strong sense of purpose and commitment sets a good example for younger students, and this will undoubtedly continue.

The basic idea was to produce a work of fiction which was complete in precisely fifty words, plus the title which may not excede fifteen words.

Andrew Munro, Marco Azaro and Jason Carr SCIENCE REPORT Andrew Pettit carefully pipetting. challenge of teaching both Physics and Biology. The extra demands and popularity of the science subjects have created a need for more science staff and we look forward to exciting and productive year ahead, with the department benefitting from their fresh ideas and approach. The G.C.S.E. will entail internal assessment of practical work, involving some detailed organization by staff in the initial period, but hopefully its introduction will help to make practical sessions more relevant and challenging. The department is well equipped with a strong tradition in practical science teaching and no real problelms are envisaged. The school had the services of three G.S.C.E. training officers for a week in May, and the Science Department was particularly fortunate in benefitting from the enthusiasm and experience of the chief training officer, Mr. David Haslam. He not only held discussions with staff but got very involved in one Physics lesson where third year boys were asked, in true G.C.S.E. style, to problem solve. In this case it involved building paper towers and supports from a given number of sheets of paper, glue and string. Much to the pleasure of the young engineers, the support of 15 house bricks by one of their constructions was proclaimed by Mr. Haslam to be an unofficial world record. Electronics is a new topic in G.C.S.E. Physics and was introduced to the second year students in the summer term. The boys were particularly quiet and absorbed in their task of setting up circuits with the new, sochisticated apparatus and this augurs well for the future development of the subject. Certainly this coming year will be one of change and challenge and we are confident that it can only be to the benefit of the boys who climb the stairs to the Saltus Science Department. This has been another successful year in the Science Department, with the highlight for Messrs. Solliss and Ross and twenty boys being a Science Trip to Orlando, taking in visits to Sea World, Epcot and Kenedy Space Centre. Everyone enjoyed themselves and returned more aware of the world in which they live. In July, we will sadly say goodbye lo Mr. Ross. His professionalism and dedication have been appreciated throughout the school during the last six years, but it has been in the Science Department that his knowledge and grasp ol hi s siibjecl have been so clearly demonstrated.

Brummet J J 68 Textures by Patrick Murdoch, Form IJ The Wine It was Christmas evening and we had just said Grace and were prepar- ing to eat. To a seven year old, this was the boring part of Christmas. The best part being the distribution of presents early this morning. My thoughts were only interrupted by my Dad ' s voice asking me to pass him the butter. Noticing how hungry I was, I turned my attention to the food at the table. At the far end there were sliced carrots and other heated vegetables. In the centre sat the turkey, large and majestic. Near my side sat a cassava pie, string beans, potatoes and the corn, but the most noticable items must have been the wine bottles. Four of them altogether, three white and one red. Realizing that no one was drinking the small bottle of red wine, I thought it would be a waste if it wasn ' t used. So, with all my strength, I forced the cork off and filled my glass. After a few moments my glass was empty so, lifting the bottle, I refilled it. By the second refill I seemed to have miraculously acquired two additional wine glasses. However, after an unsuccessful round of pouring non-existing cups , I found the right one and topped it up again . I had just enveloped myself around my glass when my mother came over and demanded to know if it was I who had drunk all the wine . No, I squeezed out with difficulty. I then raised the almost empty bottle and poured the remaining fluid into my glass, drained it and, with a valiant effort, said Yesh. A few hours later I was so sick I swore I would never drink red wine again. - Bobby Pratt 2P World of Her Own She lived in a world of her own. It was as though her own life had ceased 20 years before with the death of her husband. Th e present was meaningless, only the comforting arms of the past provided her with the solace she sought, so it was there that she remaiined. The house, once immaculately kept, had gradually deteriorated from lack of care and lack of interest. Nestled in the midst of acres of peaceful woods, it was her haven against an alien world. She did not notice the peeling paint, the chipped pavement, nor the broken fence because she passed the days inside, alone, in her favourite chair. Regardless of the season, the kitchen door was closed. For years the upper-half of the wooden Dutch door was kept open, welcoming the fresh breezes that billowed through the orchard carrying with them the scent of apples, wild flowers, and rich wood. No longer was this permitted for now it carried only a chill. The four-legged porcelain gas stove, a dropleaf oak table, and small-scale refrigerator all resem- bled well-preserved museum pieces, transplanted from another era for display purposes, rather than for every day use. Even the faded, woven rug where Daisy , their beloved dog , passed many winter nights , remained perfectly in place. Once the centre of activity, the room was quiet now, visited merely for joyless meals to sustain a joyless life. For 40 years the dining room never altered. The heavy oak table, its surface carefully padded and covered with a lace tablecloth, was used only special occasions and even then, with great care. The two glass front corner cupboards still contained the collection of crystal and china that was always ' to good to use. ' Only the faded woven curtains and bleached maple window ledges betrayed the passage of time. Outside, the view was the same, squirrels and chipmunks search- ing for treasure beneath the trees, the setting sun painted the gently sloping hillside in a multitude of oranges, yellows, reds and purples, which when looked at from a distance, transformed the little red brick house into a country painting. Stillnes hung in the stagnant, musty air. The furniture in the living room was purchased out of necessity, need, and fancy, rather than for the purpose of decoration. Not a single piece matched another. The desk with its many drawers and secret slots was used for household paper work and record keeping. The dropleaf table, a family heirloom, and the tinny, upright piano for lessons never taken due to more pressing demands. The glass breakfront bookcase stored books that ' were never read. Pictures of days gone by lined the mantle over the brick fireplace and the old chiming clock in the centre solemnly ticked away the hours. The overstuffed sofa and chairs had been covered and recovered, excluding her husband ' s chair which had never been moved since the day he left it. His glasses rested on the nearby table as though he had simply gone to do a bit of gardening and would return shortly to switch on his favourite floorlamp and read the evening newspaper. As darkness falls she slowly walks down the long, narrow hallway past the empty guest room, to the bedroom. The antique dresser, so dried with age that the drawers no longer slide., remained open at various levels like a gently cascading waterfall. The ivory iron bed creaks in protest at the weight of her frail body as though the slightest intrusion is more than the long spent springs could bear. The dried and peeling hope chest contains her cherished treasures, letters, pic- tures, and present he gave her that she never wore. Resting her head on the well worn pillow and drawing the faded woolen blanket, she drifts to sleep. Tomorrow, as every day, she will sit in her favourite chair. He never knew she loved him. Perhaps that is why she lives in a world of her own. - Joel Froomkin Old Age Depressed by the future, her poignant face gazed into the past Her withered arms embraced her grandchild who peers into the future. Her long, silvery hairs flows, tangled over her tired, blue eyes, which are scarred by experience. Her pale cheeks ripple sadly. Her silent lips suffer only within. Gently, she rests her bony chin on her grandson ' s blond hair. Only to wait for time to slowly come from behind, enveloping the past, and finally, her. - Michael Ashton 2P 69 Tower of Babel by Graham Foster, Form 5H 0i mi ' J- The Swordsmith (Japan, 17th Century) Tiny streams of prespriation trickl ed down his face dripping onto his traditional silk kimono. The intense heat thrown off by the simple stone and brick furnace is bearable only to those conditioned to it. He watches intently as tw(; of his young apprentices cautiously maneuver a fiery bar of steel close to the forge with U ng-handled tongs. Great care must be taken, for even a minute error can render the entire blade worthless. The swordsmith nudges his assistants aside, muttering a few criticisms as he retrieves the tongs. His massive arm muscles flex as he hurtles the heavy hammer downwards, striking the hot flowing steel. Sparks fly around the room like miniature fireworks as the two metals clash. The smith squints, slightly averting his head in order to prevent the sparks from damaging his eyes. With assistance from the boys, the rhythmic pounding continues until the old man nods in satisfaction, carefully examining the glowing lump of steel. The bar has become much flatter, like a trained surgeon, he picks up a chisel-like tool and holds it with practised agility close to the hot metal. Droplets of sweat fall from the master ' s brow onto the steel, hissing annoyingly. Alternately, his assistants hit the chisel, gradually forming a deep grove in the bar. The swordsmith ' s mouth curves slightly showing a sign of approval. Through the ages his hands have formed countless swords, but each one holds a unique fascination for him. Taking a pair of strong pliers from a nearby table, he carefully flips the steel and folds the metal over forming two layers. Quickly, his alert assistants straighten the sword and thrust it back into the dancing flames. This process continues until thousands of layers have been formed each one made as precisely as the first. Then the swordsmith grasps the steaming sword and prepares it to be tempered. The steel has now taken the shape of a sleek weapon and is thrust into a container of water with special clay in order to cool it. This makes the edge hard and the blade more flexible. Most of the difficult labour is past , he comments to himself., all that must be accomplished now is patience. This shall be a fine sword, the samurai ' s will be pleased. The sword gleams brilliantly in the sunlight which penetrates the room from a small hole in the roof. After polishing and sharpening the blade, the old man enters an ajoining room. With all dirt and other deformities removed, the old man prepares for a final test. Like a knight challenging an opponent to a duel, he whips a thin silk handkerchief from his cloth belt and tossed it into the air. Positioning the sword, blade upwards directly underneath it, the handkerchief floats gently towards the floor. The cloth lands gently on the blade. In a split second the handkerchief neatly splits in two and falls to the ground. The old man picks up one of the severed pieces and examines it like a scientist searching tor micro-organisms. He lets out a relieved sigh and slumps in a chair to rest. The handkerchief had no frayed edges. If a single thread had protuded from the cloth, the sword would have been too dull. A tear glistened in his eye. He was sad to have the sword finnished, but such was the nature of his craft. These swords were not merely weapons, they were used as tools for an ancient art. the art of killing. As he inscribed the end of the blade he silently thanked the gods for bestowing him with the secret craft of the swordsmith . - Joel Froomkin Failure and Defeat Forgetting isn ' t the answer.

Mark Booth, J.s will 70 Spanish Bayonetes by Marc Harrison, Form 5H The School At Night The main door slowly swung open, the light previously imprisoned within the school leaping out to battle the darkness. The entrance loomed over me as I gazed into the foyer apprehensively, tentive to enter. Without the loud voices of bustling students rushing through the hallways, without the sound of teachers conducting classes authori- tively, without the refrains of hymns being vigorously sung in the assembly hall, the school was desolate, forbiding. Stepping cautiously onto the cold stone floor, I entered, my footsteps echoing like drops of water in a cavern, the sound magnified a thousandfold. The rods of the fluorescent lighting added little comfort to this impersonal, lifeless atmosphere, in which I felt like an intruder in an undiscovered world. I turned towards the staircase, winding precautiously upward. Ascending slowly I approached the upper level, my destination becom- ing closer. I reached the top of the stairs and looked back upon the climb I had successfully performed. The upper level was unlit, an opaque curtain of darkness waiting to reveal the secrets it concealed. I had frequently walked through the currently darkened corridor during the day, but somehow this was different, ominously unfamilar. Groping for a light switch I stretched my arm around the doorway, cold shivers dancing on my spine. I switched on the lights and the fluorescent beams hummed as they flickered hesitantly, then bursting into their brightness, displaying the hallway. The walls were lined with closed doors, lockers guarding the class- rooms like armoured sentinels, cold and metallic. I strode down the corridor with a false air of confidence, as if trying to impress a watching figure hidden in the shadows, periodically glancing behind me, expecting to see someone silently following. My foot accidently struck a metal trash bin, making me recoil suddenly in surprise and fear as the sound reverberated through the school. I reached the end of the corridor and paused, my quest almost over. The large wooden door before me looked menacing, the number four painted into it in ghostly white. Placing my nervous hand upon the cold round doorknob I cautiously turned the handle., fearing an unknown terror waiting in the room beyond. The door opened easily, swinging swiftly on its noiseless hinges. The classroom was silent and motionless, the chairs empty, the desks bare. Remnants of the day ' s lessons were scrawled upon the blackboard in white chalk, like hieroglyphics carved into the wall of a hidden tomb. Tentatively I approached a desk in the middle of the room, my mission drawing to a close. I placed my hand upon the desk top and glanced about me, a final precaution. My heart beating hurriedly in anticipation I raised the desk lid, hoping that my search had not been in vain. The desk opened and there it was. My book, the one I had desperately needed to complete my homework. Snatching up the exercise book I let the desk lid fall slamming down with an immense crash. Retracing my steps, I bravely ran to the car waiting outside, regain- ing my composure just before walking through the doorway. - Sean Dunleavy 4R ' ■ : If ' - ' ■i i , ss- ■ House and shutters b Scott Amos, Senior Year 71 Block Print Bermuda view by Graham Foster, Form 5H The Yearning This is my world. The brightly polished tiled floor stretches out like a vast shimmering ocean, and from it tables and chairs rise like towering islands. All here in my plastic bubble. The tranparent dome, both my prison and protector, sits in the centre of an immaculate white room, stifling in its cleanliness. The lifegiving air tank sighs wearily, breathing clean, pure air into my private atmosphere, and the plastic tent heaves slightly, then settles once more. Every minute of every hour of every day. The walls of the room are bare but for one door, inadvertantly left open. 1 can hear voices outside. Children squeal in delight as they play cowboys and Indians in the garden. I wanna be a cowboy, insists my healthy younger brother. I wouldn ' t care if I was a cowboy or an Indian, if only I could play, I mutter to myself. If only 1 could shed this plastic bubble which restrains me like an over-protective parent, just for one day, just so that I could breathe the forbidden air, play in the garden... Sometimes my brother brings his friends here to see me. They stand, gazing in at me like they are watching a fish in the aquarium, their mouths agape, eyes wide. Sometimes I play board games with him, never touching the pieces, but telling him where to move them from the safety of my cell. The sounds of playing grow louder, as if to taunt me. 1 sit in my beanbag chair and it sags, trying to envelope me, the only comforting embrace I will ever feel. I try to ignore the voices, block them out. I pick up a book. Nursery Rhymes, and open it to the first page, trying to forget my surroundings. My eyes scan the sterile, plastic page.

Monday, July 7: Arrived at airport - left Bermuda 12 p.m. Tuesday, July 8: Arrived in London at 10.50 a.m. - it was a cool 60 F. Uneventful flight due to some air turbulance.

I congratulate our students for their splendid efforts in raising funds necessary for this tour, and I have no doubt that the experience will be both rewarding and enjoyable for them... Whatever the out- come of the various sporting activities I know that at the end of the tour our boys will have made many new friends and accumulated many happy and lasting memories. These are some of the comments made by the Headmaster in his introduction to our 1987 Tour brochure. The group had indeed made a great effort to raise over $10,000 which was to go towards the cost of the tour. . . there can be no doubt that the tour was rewarding and enjoyable... we made many friends, and we have many happy memories. Unfortunately, the initial squad suffered from a number of serious injuries, and three guest players from Whitney Institute were even- tually invited to join the party before the tour group of 22 (19 players and 3 members of staff) set off from Bermuda, arriving at Heathrow on April 1 1th. No sooner had we landed in the UK than we were travelling from our hotel at Heathrow to watch a First Division soccer game between Queens Park Rangers and Luton Town. We were invited out to inspect the artificial pitch just before kick-off and we were then treated to a good display of soccer, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw. Perhaps it is a little ironic that the game soon faded in everyone ' s mind when we were ' treated ' to a display of crowd control by some London policemen who were dealing with some unpleasant QPR fans. A Tour legend was born and Stand by Me became Shawn Goater ' s favourite song! In the evening, after a meal at the Penta. the boys were introduced to the Tour dummy, a stuffed toy nicknamed Spike the Dog. It had been my intention that the dog be awarded each day to one of the boys who had been involved in some sort of eccentric behaviour. I had not thought that we, the staff, would ever be candidates, but then I had not brought Mr Beard ' s sense of direction into consideration. (There is a rumour that Mr B ' s mini-bus travelled four hundred miles further than the other two!) April 12th saw us on the road heading towards Uppingham in Leicestershire. We made a brief culture-stop at Stratford before charg- ing off to a game against Melton Mowbray, which we eventually won 3-0. After a quick shower, we travelled on to Uppingham where the boys were to be hosted for four nights. The next day we were guests of Leicester City Football Club. We were given an excellent tour of all the facilities by Mr Jack Curtis, who provided the boys with many soccer stories from the past. In the afternoon we travelled to Tilton Trial Bike Centre. Approved by the Road Safety Council, it is a centre where boys are taught to handle motor bikes correctly and safely. Many of our boys took advantage of this scheme; I wonder if Tilton has ever seen bigger grins. In the evening the group split up with the Basketball team losing narrowly to the Uppingham Town Team, and the soccer team beating Royce Rangers of Oakham by a score of 6-3. Over the next two days we were involved in a three-way tournament between ourselves, Uppingham Community College and Don Bosco, Haacht, a Belgian School. We competed in a number of sporting competitions but our main concerns were the soccer and basketball matches. We performed very well throughout and were, at the end of the two days, outright winners of both the Basketball and Soccer Competitions. In adilion to the Uppingham ' I ' ournanieni we also man- aged to fit in a soccer game against the Leicester City Youth Squad. As the Uppingham section of the tour drew to a close it became very clear that the tournament had been a tremendous success and the hosts had been marvelous wilh our boys. Many new I ' riendships were made, and it was gratifying lo lic-ar that our group ' s behaviour had been greatly admired. Our next destination was IJIack|)ool in Lancashire. The press was at St, fieorgc ' s High School to photograph our meeting with (he Zeppy Zanol... The first recipient oj the dog!! At Tilton trial bike centre.. . the boys prepare for their first test. Mayor of Blackpool, and we were introduced to the Headmaster and the Board of Governors. We played well in the soccer game and came away with a comfortable 6-3 victory. We then played their basketball team in their tiny school gym. Many of our younger players had an opportunity to play in a game that we won 54-27. The Easter weekend is always a popular time in Blackpool and the boys found that the Golden Mile and the Pleasure Beach had many attractions. They also played Pitch and Putt, and visited the Zoo where we were entertained by the ions, igers and ebras...they needed some new signs at Blackpool Zoo! The sporting highlight of our time in Blackpool was during an evening training session when the staff showed the superstars how .soccer was really played... and Shawn Goater missed an open goal. ..Spike was his the next day! The next morning, Easter Saturday, our team played a Blackpool Schools XI and were narrowly defeated 4-3. At the same time our basketball team were victorious in the small St. George ' s Gym. In the aflcrnoon we were taken by coach to Anfield to watch Liveipool play Nottingham Forest. Liverpool were very impressive 3-0 winners. Easter Suiitlay was a rest day and was taken up by Easter Eggs (who was the liaslor Bunny?), Pitch and Putt (prediction: John Burchall will not be a professional golfer), and a final visit to the Pleasure 76 Tlic Saltus tour team before their international match against Belgium... we won 4-1 Beach (how much money did they spend there?). On Easter Monday after some frantic buying at a Sports Goods Store, we went back into Liverpool t o see the Everton versus Newcastle game. We were treated to some colourful Liverpudlian vocabulary and some fine goals in Everton ' s 3-0 victory. In the evening the basketball team had their hardest game of the tour against Wellbreck, an Under 20 Club side. We were convincingly beaten, but our players learned some important lessons. The next day was. to say the least, hectic! We played soccer and basketball against St Mary ' s High School, drawing 3-3 in the soccer and reviving our basketball skills to produce a strong 54-27 victory. The two games had been somewhat delayed so we had to proceed at something approaching Mach 1 in order to meet up with our host in London. Our only break in the journey was an interesting but rather fruitless wait in a gas-station queue. We arrived at University College School in Hampstead at 6.30pm. We were greeted by Mr Bill Jones who had arranged the accommoda- tion for all the boys. We were extremely fortunate to once again find ourselves with hosts who were only to pleased to entertain and care for the boys. Our first day in London was taken up with various sightseeing tours. We visited Wembley in the morning and were given a very comprehensive tour of the stadium ' s facilities. Later the Underground took us to Baker Street where we joined an open-topped sight-seeing bus which took us around the City. We went to London Bridge where we visited the London Dungeon - a waxwork House of Horrors. The boys spent the evening with their hosts. The next day we all met at the Strand Palace Hotel and once v e had checked-in, the boys had a free day for shopping. In the evening we met in the hotel restaurant for a presentation dinner. Each member of the group received a commemorative medal and a number of other awards were made including; M.V.P. (soccer) - Shawn Goater M.V.P. (B ' Ball) - Scott Amos Top goal scorer was Dean Minors Top points scorer was Jon Cooper Personality of the tour was awarded to Scott Amos, and the tour was nearly over, but would we ever forget... tthe good-will and friendship shown by our hosts in Uppingham and London, Clay ' s case, Zeppy ' s letter, the fact that Mr B ' s tour MUST have been sponsored by Rand McNally, the post-box that looked like Shawn G., Mr Beard and the Range Rover, Stand by Me , and, of course. Spike the Dog. He is in a kennel in Mr Beard ' s office, ready and waiting for TOUR 89. On Friday, 24th April we arrived back in Bermuda... the tour had been an outstanding success. - R.M. Rais trick 77 SENIOR SPORTS DAY 1987 The sports programme at Saltus is extensive and wide ranging. We are the only school to take part in every organized sporting competition on the island. The highlight of the sporting year is Sports Day, this year, held on May 7th. Despite early fears about the weather it turned out to be one of the most successful and enjoyable days for a long time. The organization, as usual, was excellent and the decision to take a full day proved beneficial to both officials and athletes. There were some excellent individual performances, notably, Barrie King ' s attempt at the 1500m record, John Burchall ' s consistent sprinting, Michael Ashton ' s middle distance running and Lyle Douglas ' dominance in the field events. However the most pleasing aspect of the day was the overall team work. Each of the Houses put up a good show, although Watlingtfin never looked like being beaten. Saltus House came from behind to snatch second place and Darrell and Butterfield were not far behind. At the end of the day Mr. David Anfcjssi, Chairman of the School Trustees, presented the prizes and the photograph below shows many of the prizewinners. Every memberof staff was involved on the day, many parents came along to help or watch and the secretarial staff did a great job in completing the certificates for the presentation. All in all this was an excellent example of Saltus Teamwork.

It seems that Saltus is the only school on the island which is able to produce a 1st XV and we therefore struggle to find opposition. Warwick Academy were able to field a team of ten players which we happily supplemented with players from our own squad... the Saltus team won! The Whitney Institute could only produce six players, so that fixture was reduced to a Sevens competition, with Saltus once again loaning players. The squad trained with commitment and good humour... we had an enjoyable time despite the fixture problems! It is pleasing to note INTERMEDIATE RUGBY In the Intermediate Group, fixtures are a little easier to come by and we managed to play reasonably regular fixtures against Warwick Academy and Whitney Institute. The Under 15 XV squad trained hard all season, and were involved in some excellent games... one performance against Whitney Institute, played at National Sports Club, drew praise form a number of senior club player who were watching. There are indeed some very promising players in this group. The team was captained by S. Draycott and included; S. DUNLEAVY; S. HARRIS; K. MANUEL; S. VAN DE WEG; J. HOW- ARD; A. TUFTS; J. HOARE; R. LOWRY; J. WRIGHT; B. BENNETT; G. TITTER- TON; C. MADIEROS. My thanks to Mr Evans for all his help with the coaching. - Mr. R.M. Raistrick Junior Rugby With well over twenty boys prepared to train hard with the hope of representing the schools, it is sad that only two other school are able to field junior rugby teams. How- ever, the season was enjoyed by all and con- siderable progress was made in developing the skills of the game. The B team won both their games against Whitney Institute, showing great spirit and determination to run with the ball. The A team lost both games against a very strong Whitney team, but won away at Warwick Academy, in a game made particu- larly exciting by the flashes of lightning and a torrential downpour. Warwick was unable to field a B team and in order to reward the enthusiasm of the Saltus b team, they replaced the Saltus A team at half time. Much to the disgust of The A ' team, War- wick recovered and managed to win the game . Saltus fielded three junior sides at the Whitney sevens competition and although we did not bring home the championship cup, all the boys gained from the experience of being involved in such a tournament. The C team was eliminated in the first round, whilst the A and B teams went on to lose the semi finals. - D.S. Harrison that five of the squad have been heavily involved in senior club rugby on the island, and Mark Glusing was given the Most Improved Player Award by Teachers RFC. The squad included; P. COOPER; C. McINTYRE; S. AMOS; A. RANGE; F. ALLEN; D. BRAY; S. DRAYCOTT; M. GLUSING; A. REDMOND; C. DUNN; C. DAVIS; J. YOUNG; J. DAVIS; C. WHEDDON; M. BREWER; M. NASH; G. MAULE; S. DUN- LEAVY; D. DOUGLAS; S. YOUNG; C. MORBEY; S. DRAY- COTT. My thanks to Mr Evans for all his help with the coaching. - Mr. R.M.

The bottom photograph shows Andrew Ranee and many supporting players of the senior squad. 79 SOCCER Senior Soccer The highlight of our soccer season was without doubt our performances on tour. That however is dealt with in some length elsewhere in this brochure, and it is sufficient for me merely to say that the boys were very worthy ambassadors for Saltus. In the schools league play the team lacked the sort of player who could hold the ball and control a game., however their work rate and commitment to coaching could not (in most cases!) be faulted. Having to work so hard throughout a game usually paid its toll late in the second half after we had matched stronger teams in the first period. This was certainly the situation against the strong Whitney and Warwick Sec, Teams. We lost narrowly to Berkley and Warwick Academy, drew with St. Georges and defeated Northlands and a visiting Canadian High School. Drew Douglas ' s herculean efforts earned him the team MVP (the Paul Handsley trophy) and the captain, Shorn Young, finished as leading goal scorer. Shorn did an excellent job for the side both in mid-field and up front. John Burchall ' s acrobatics in the goal saved us many a time, and Andre Zanol recaptured the sort of form we knew he was capable of. Norman Timmins and Andrew Bissell had their usual capable seasons, and Andrew Ranee improved each game. Jon Rego continued to show that if only he bothered to get himself fit he could play with the best of them. Rachid Alami-Merrouni produced some very impressive perfor- mances, Malik Showers continued to work hard for good openings, and then either slammed the ball home from the acutest of angles or simply scored the easy chance. John Richmond continues to fulfill his early promise, and must rest within forthcoming seasons. Substitutes Diallo Rabain, Paul Johnson, Ashley Redmond and Brian Mello all contributed immensly to the side. COLOURS: Old: Rego, Bissell, Timmins New: Young. Ranee. Zanol, Richmond, Showers. Burchall Intermediate Soccer Apart from a brief mid-season spell during which the side raised themselves to hold St. Georges in an exciting 3-3 draw, followed by a pleasing 4-2 away victory overr Northlands. 1986-87 was another difficult season for the Intermediates. The defeats were by no means as heavy as some, nevertheless, stemming principally from a goalkeeper shortage in Years 2 and 3. some naivety in defence, and lack of punch in the forwards. Mark Randall, a first-former, played bravely in goal for most of the season, and despite something of a baptism of fire, he will benefit greatly from the experience, come the new season. Diallo Rabain was the pick of the defence and represented the Saltus Senior Soccer team on the Easter tour of England, along with midfielder Simon Van de Weg, striker Martin Morris, and captain and leading goal-scorer (again) John Richmond. Mr. Durrant and I were encouraged by the willingness of the players under difficult circumstances, and also by the sight of many more goals in the opposition net than we witnessed in 1 985 1 SQUAD: Goalkeeper: Tufts, Randall. Defence: Decosta, Rabain, Manuel, Pringle McDowall, Baylay, Semos. Midfield: Van de Weg, McKittrick, Redmond, Outerbridge. Forwards: Richmond. Morris, Burchall. - B. Shore Drew Douyjds ' , ' ocs for f uil John liiircluill . . .llic .senior i oolkecpcr HO Junior Soccer The intermediate soccer team Despite the fact that we had to wait until November for our first win this was quite a successful season in terms of enthusiasm, commitment and the improvement of both individual skill and teamwork. In our first match, away at Whitney Institute, we started impres- sively and forced the talented opposing goalkeeper to make two or three spectacular saves, before losing 2-0. Encouraged by this perfor- mance, if not the result, we trained hard for our next match, a home game against Warwick Academy, and managed a creditable draw with goals from strike force Nathan Skinner and Colwyn Burchall. We then produced some of our best soccer of the season in an exciting home cup tie against Warwick Secondary School who, at that stage , hadn ' t conceded a goal. The school dominated large portions of the thrilling second half and were unlucky not to equalize when the score was 3-2. Unfortunately, we conceded two very late goals to lose by 5-2 - a scoreline that in no way reflects this competitive game. In our next match we entertained Sandys Secondary and despite being ahead twice, ended up drawing 2-2. This game will be remem- bered for Colwyn Burchall ' s fine goal that completed an excellent, flowing team move. Possibly our worst performance came in the next match, against Warwick Secondary, where a rather uninspired display resulted in an 8-0 defeat. However, the squad did well to recover from this heavy defeat and complete the season with two victories. The first saw us defeat Berkeley Institute 1-0 and in the second we recovered from a 1-0 half time deficit to defeat Mount Saint Agnes 2-1. The season wound up with two internal matches in which IJ defeated IB 2-1 , to take the first year soccer trophy, and Boardman Academ- icals defeated an unlu cky Ross Rovers by the same score. The side was ably captained by experienced central defender Kamal Showers who led by example both on and off the firld. The squad included: Goalkeeper: Mark Randall. Defenders: Matthew Ringer, Barton Sommerville, Geri Mewitt, Kamal Showers, Keith Madeiros. Midfield: Corey Bean, Terence Corday, Duncan Zelkin, Dennis Fagundo, Peter Rans, Lewis Harrison, Dwayne Trott, Simon Mathews. Forward: Colwyn Burchall, Nathan Skinner, Patrick Singleton. Many of these boys also gained valuable experience representing Woodlands Rangers on Saturday mornings and I would like to thank Mr. Beard and Mr. Corday for devoting so much of their time, effort and expertise to this venture. I would also like to thank Mr. Boardman for his enthusiastic and knowledgable assistance throughout an enjoy- able season. - Mr. David J. Ross (Coach) The intermediate defence under pressure again Mr. Ross and the junior squad 81 Cross Country It will be with great regret that we say goodbye to Barrie King this year. For the last five years Barrie in his quiet unassuming way has been our leading distance runner and has set a fine example for the younger boys. Thus it was fitting that Barrie helped his Watlington house team to overall first place in the inter-house run. by finishing first in the senior race and setting a new record. In second place was Craig Morbey of Butterfield and third was Andre Zanol of Watlington. Michael Ashton of Butterfield won the Intermediate title, Watlington ' s Simon Draycott was second and John Richmond of Butterfield third. The Junior title was won by Geri Mewett of Watlington, Butterfield ' s Dennis Fagundo was second, and Daniel Greshamof Darrell was third. In the Inter-school meet, Barrie finished as the individual .senior winner. In the last two years he has got lost or been hit by falling branches, so it was a relief to see him finish for a change! Barrie ' s run helped the school team into fourth place overall. Track and Field The Inter-school Track and Field Meet occur- red this year before Easter and before our track season starts. Consequently, we did not send a full contingent of athletes. However, those who did go produced good results: Andrew Ranee 6th in Senior Discus Norman Timmins 4th in Senior Shot Patrick Cooper 6th in Senior Shot Craig Macintyre 2nd in Senior Pole Vault Shorn Young .Sth in Senior Pole Vault Diallo Rabain 3rd place in liilcr DiscLis and Javelin Sebastian I ' edro .5lh in Pole Vault Lylc Douglas 4th in Junior Discus, J(mior .lavelin ;iihI llh ill iiinioi Sliol S2 Volleyball Unfortunately the vagaries of a short term such as exams and Sports Day, meant that the volleyball teams were not able to play as many games as usual. The seniors played two close games defeating War- wick Academy and Northlands, but waited until the tournament to play their best volleyball. They cruised past M.S. A. and Devonshire Academy in the preliminary rounds, and then from being all but beaten by Warwick Academy in the semi-final they made a strong recovery to win 17-15. They then met the strong Chaffee side in the final where in some excellent play they were beaten 15-9, 15-10. The B team meanwhile had defeated the C team in the semi- final , but then went on to lose to Whitney in the final 15-10, 15-12. Jon Rego was captain of the senior side and is probably the best of the schoolboy players on the island at the moment. Our Junior side lost to the strong Warwick Academy side in the league, but then won the Junior tournament. Defeating Northlands 15-12, 15- 11 in the final. Many of these players look very competent and so we hope they will be able to continue our winning tradition in years to come. The Junior volleyball team at the Island tournament . Junior Basketball This was a season of resonable success. The team, ably led by Stanley RAMBO Harris worked hard throughout the term and improved with every game. They defeated Mount St. Agnes, Whitney, and Devon- shire Academy; and lost to Chaffee and Warwick Academy. The Warwick side were too strong for us but with a little more confidence and luck at the foul line we could have turned the tables against the base school. It is to their credit that they won the running clock tournament in which they played some fine basketball in pressure situations. The help given to the team by Mr. Tufts was invaluable as he helped each boy play a part. The regular starters of Harris, Kevin, Manual, Joshua Howard, John Richmond and Patrick Head were complemented by Adam Tufts, Geoffrey Redmond. Jeremy Wright, Sebastian Pedro, Lyle Douglas and Chris Brito. - J.C. Beard. Andrew McDowall, Joshua Howard Barton Sommerville, Mark Randall. Badminton Club Such was the demand to play badminton this year, that the Juniors were given their own lunchtime spot. The evening sessions for older players were well supported by an enthusiastic group who formed the nucleus of our team to defend the Bermuda School Championship. A warm-up game against Warwick Academy was won, and although Berkeley Institute took the Championship this season, Saltus second place was well earned, and included some very creditable perfor- mances. Losing semi-finalists were: Cheyne in the Senior Singles. Bissel and Foster in the Senior Doubles, Baylay in the Intermediate Singles. B aylay and Campbell in the Intermediate Doubles, both Randall and Sommerville in the Junior Singles, and Singleton and Campbell in the Junior Doubles. Going one better, only to lose in the finals, were McDowall and Outerbridge in the Intermediate Doubles, and the best performance of all was that of Randall and Sommerville who became the island Junior Champions in the Doubles. In the Saltus Tournaments, Mark Randall defeated Barton Sommer- ville in two sets in the Juniors. The Intermediate competition drew an excellent response (27 entrants), and from the worthy semi-finalists, Derek Bayley, Joshua Howard, Andrew McDowall and John Richmond, it was eventually McDowall who took the title, beating Howard in the final. - B. Shore Interhouse tug-o-war - Butterfield Water Polo The Junior Waterpolo squad. Sea Tiger Splash to Victory - Sea Cubs Become Kittens! The Sea Tigers played a shortened game against Warwick Academy and only managed to draw as lack of pool time prevented their attacking style from emerging before the final whistle. Their second game was a much more successful venture, with the Tigers dominating the game from start to finish, culminating in a 7-2 victory for the Tigers, Coor- dinated play with some aggressive shots at goal resulted some excellent saves which prevented an even more resounding victory. This was sadly the last game for two founder members of The Sea Tigers, Craig Davis and Patrick Cooper who first plunged into the water with over- sized hats five years ago. Their enthusiasm and ability to splash their coach will long be remembered! The Sea Cubs were Strong in numbers and enthusiasm, but weak in skill. The opposition from Warwick Academy had much better passing ability, combined with a more aggressive style and systemat- ically defeated the Sea Cubs, who, during the course of the game, were renamed the Sea Kittens by a gleeful crowd of supporters. The solitary goal of the season during the second game will undoubtably last as a golden memory until next season when a great deal more practice will be needed to ensure success. The Sea Kittens may have been defeated this season, but they were never seen to look glum and even .seemed to find defeat pleasurable, our thanks to Mr. Wallington for his assistance in coaching the squads.

The contest at Intermediate level was particularly close and with more competitive opposition every year it is to be hoped that future success will continue. The Warwick Academy Relay Meet was dominated by our swimmers and many of them were called upon at very short notice to represent teams in the All Stars Swim Meet. A total of fifty boys represented the school at swimming with many more representing their house at the Inter-House swim meet that was won by Butterfield. Congratulations to all of the participants.

Each of these fixtures consisted of 4 singles matches, against opposite numbers, followed by two doubles matches. The first game at under 14 level was against Chaffee and the school did well to be level 2-2 after the singles, with wins from Andrew McDowall and Chip Popper. However Chaffee, renowned for their doubles play, won both doubles matches comfortably to take the match 4-2. We then defeated Warwick Academy ' B ' by 5-1 with singles wins coming from Andrew McDowall, Patrick Head and Patrick Singleton. In the final match, against Warwick Academy ' A ' , Andrew McDowall came back well from 4-2 down to defeat Kevin Kyme 6-4 but alas this was to be the only match we won; the final score being 5-1. Andrew is to be congratulated for winning all three of his singles matches at the number one spot this season! Team members also included Geoffrey Redmond, Tripp West and Ronnie Farag. The over 14 team, lead by Norman Timmins and Brett Mar- shall started well with a convincing 4-2 win over Warwick Academy B ' team. In our second match, against Chaffee, big serving Brett Marshall narrowly lost a close and exciting encounter with Doug Hasselbring 7-6 but Joshua Howard and Mr Ross with Patrick Singleton, Andrew McDowall, Patrick Head and Ronnie Farag. Jason Semos boih played well to win and make the score 2-2 after the singles. However, the school again surrended both double matches to lose by 4-2. At least we know what to work on for next season! In the next game, against a very strong Warwick Academy ' A ' team, we played some of our best tennis of the season and were very unlucky to lose by 5-1 , and scoreline that in no way reflects the competitive singles matches. Norman Timmins, playing at number one, lost to Dominic Georges 7-5 whilst Brett Marshall was defeated by Richmond Simmons by the same score. Norman and Brett did, however, gain some con- solation, winning 6-4 in the doubles match. The final match of the season saw the much improved Joshua Howard lead the school to an emphatic 5-1 victory over North- lands. Team members also included Monty Hamill, Robbie McRonald, Andrew McDowall and Patrick Head. At time of writing the Saltus Singles Championships at under 14 and senior level are still in progress. In the under 14 division defending champions Andrew McDowall looks likely to be challenged by Patrick Head in the finals whilst champion Norman Timmins will be hard pressed to withstand the chal- lenge of Brett Marshall in the senior tournament. The last week of term sees the annual staff vs school tennis match and after studying videotapes of last years defeat the staff are now quietly confident! - Mr. David J Ross (Coach) Patrick Singleton 88 SENIOR BASKETBALL School Cricket Report The season started with great promise with the senior squad winning the running clock competition against some tough opposition. Early league results suggested that we might have a good season but at this stage little did we realise that this would turn out to be the best season ever experienced by a senior squad. We went on to win the Chaffee Invitational Tournament at the beginning of Febuary and we beat M.S. A. in a league match, played for the first time on a Saturday evening. We faltered once, against Chaffee in the league losing 5 1-49, but we recovered, and thanks to a fine win by M.S. A. over Chaffee in the league we ended up sharing the honours. In the island wide tournament at the end of the season we faced M.S. A. in the final. After a very slow start we raced away with the game in the final quarter and ended up taking yet another trophy. Thus we won every piece of silver available and at the final assembly of the term the trophy for the M. V.P. was awarded to the whole team. They had done a magnificent job and played some of the best basketball ever seen in Bermuda. Seven of the squad trained with the All Stars and five were selected to play. It was a great honour and privilege for me to coach this team and it will be a long time before Saltus sees a squad of this calibre again . D. Janes The team; Craig Morbey...

The squad and the silverware More cricket is now being played at Saltus, a fact which is most noticeable at lunchtime when many boys take out bat and ball to have a game. The various inter-house and inter-form matches are much more competitive and of a higher standard than a few years ago. However the inter-school cricket has been greatly disapointing, not for our achievements but because of the number of inter-school games completed. The summer term is short term but even so it would appear that the present format of schools cricket leaves much to be desired. A move towards friendly instead of league competition would be a significant improvement for our school ' s cricketers. First XI A disappointing season with only three fixtures completed. The first game, and the only league game, against St. George ' s produced a close result for the second year succession. The school bowled and fielded well although Burchall still has a tendency to be erratic. Jones bowled sensibly towards the end of the innings and was well supported in the field ending with 4 for 41. With a target of 185 the school ' s batting was too erratic to ensure success. There was rarely a significant partnership although Burchall, Jones, Ranee and Showers, batting much too late in the order, all scored useful runs. Unfortunately, the school fell 18 runs short. In the second game, a cup match against Berkeley, greater determi- nation and belief in thier own ability would have brought success, Batting first, the school scored 130 with Burchall carrying his bat for 44. He was poorly supported apart from very brief flourishes by Joaquin and Young. Despite some good bowling by Joaquin, Berkeley started steadily scoring 52 before the second wicket fell. After a brief collapse initiated by Ranee, Berkeley then moved to 1 16 for 4 before Jones and Bissell with two wickets each had Berkeley 124 for 8. Unfortunately, it was too late and the school lost by 2 wickets. The now traditional draw was achieved against the Old Boys on Founder ' s Day. Batting first, the Old Boys amassed 295 runs in some 40 overs with useful contributions from Brian Morris 66, Vincent Chaves 67 and Devrae Noel-Simmons 54. The school ' s bowling althoug h sometimes lacking penetration was very well supported by the team ' s fielding. Jones again demonstrated that he has the ability to bowl well but must find greater consistency. Young behind the stumps completed a very useful season with a solid performance. He has developed into a sound wicket keeper. With no chance of a result the school batted solidly to score 105 for 5 in some 20 overs. The highlight of the batting was the contrast of Youngs 37 from eight scoring strokes with Mr. Peacock ' s bat carrying effort of 22. The following boys have represented the First XI: Joaquin (Capt), Burchall, Ranee, Young, Showers, Bissell, Lee, Red- mond A, Rabain, Young, Richmond, Morris, Head. The most improved cricketer this year was Malik Showers. Results St. Georges lost by 18 runs. St Georges 1 84 for 9 in 25 overs . Jones 4 for 4 1 , Burchall 3 for 5 1 .

However the overall standard of the Junior players has improved and this year ' s side has learnt from their experiences and will benefit in future years. In the first game against a superior Whitney team some very erratic bowling allowed Whitney to reach a fine score of 197 in some 18 overs, with all our bowlers suffering as a result of bowling too short. In a chase which was never likely to be successful Skinner scored an admirable 51 but lacked any real support and the school eventually fell 100 runs short. Against Berkeley in the cup match the schools inability to deal with the accurate Berkeley bowl- ing meant a dismal score of 65 with only Showers and Sommerville reaching double figures. Ber- keley benefitted from some wayward bowling by Skinner and Burchall to knock off the runs in only 7.2 overs. A much better team performance against Devonshire Academy rounded off the season, some steady bowling by Head, Outerbridge. Skin- ner and Corday backed up with good fielding restricted Devonshire to 118. However the school ' s unwillingness to put the bat on the ball, apart from a brief attempt by MacDowell and Madeiros meant a final total of only 88 in the 20 allotted overs. In general the XI has worked hard, well lead by Head and ably supported by Redmond. Mac- Dowell and Outerbridge. Much promise has been shown notably by Skinner and Corday and the Future for all this years players looks bright. I would again like to thank Mr. Beard for all his work and this year Mr. Boardman who has helped with both XI ' s and enabled more and better practices to take place.

Drive to New Jersey through Manhattan. 55 different Empire State Buildings are spotted. We get lost on Garden State Parkway. Students are whisked off by host. Saturday Staff get lost again on Garden State Parkway. Lose first game without scoring, (what ' s new!). Regroup for second game. Team psychiatrists work overtime. Play second game and lose again, (what ' s new!). Students are whisked off and devour pizzas, burgers and all things American and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Sunday Coaching staff still cautiously optimistic! Good start to game but lose again, (what ' s new!). Geoffrey borrows Mr. Boardman ' s boots and inherits his tackling style. Fortunately he is not sent off. Then psychiat- ristic decide the hosts are feeding the players too well and the New York nightclubs are draining their hunger for success. Optimism still retained for fourth game! We can win! Staff get lost again! (what ' s new) PANIC! We score first! We ' ve never been in the lead before. Problem resolved-they equalise. More panic, Colwyn dribbles past the entire opposition (twice) and scores. Team psychiatrists work feverishly on Mr. Beard. Disaster strikes, they equalise with 30 sees, left. Staff celebrate by getting lost again. Monday Watch finals and play friendly with mixed teams. Thoroughly enjoy- able. Students then devour 10 tons of pizza in 5 sees. Staff try to get lost but fail. Tuesday Colwyn arrives on time (that ' s new). Ramada Inn staff fall in love with Patrick. Sit on plane for 1.5 hrs. waiting for a speedo to be fitted, (what ' s new). Air hostess falls in love with Patrick. Smooth flight, arrive tired but smiling. Staff now possess the contents of most of N.J.s electrical stores. Appendix The whole success of the tour rested on the superb organisation of the tournament and the magnificent hospitality and generosity of the hosts. Many thanks indeed! This was matched by the behaviour of the students who at all times were a credit to their parents, the school and themselves. Many thanks also to Mr. Corday for all his hard work and help. He was also the only staff member with a sense of direction. Party G. Redmond (capt.), M. Randall. D. Zelkin. P. Rans, K. Showers, A. MacDowell, R. Outerbridge, C. Burchall, K. Medeiros. D. Fagundo.

Throughout the year house matches have continued and many of the boys have had the opportunity to play in competitive situations which they might otherwise have missed. For the most part these are good enjoyable games but it is a pity that house staff are forced to waste valuable time solving last minute problems because boys drop out at the last minute. However a full range of competitive matches has been played and the results are listed below. SENIOR SOCCER... SALTUS JUNIOR SOCCER... SALTUS SWIMMING . . . BUTTERFIELD SENIOR WATERPOLO...

For the second year in succession, Bermuda ' s Out- standing Teenager has been chosen from the ranks of Senior Year students. Norman Timmins was the very worthy recipient of this award at the annual Teen Conference, where Craig Davis also received the top honour in the Most Improved category. In addition, James Burnett-Herkes has been selected to present the Rotary Exchange Programme and studies in North America. All of those students seeking admission to colleges and universities abroad have received offers of admission, and several have been awarded scholarships in recognition of their high level attainment. What is particularly pleasing to me, however, is that this year ' s Class has developed what is probably the finest corporate spirit since the inception of the Programme, Although coming from a variety of backgrounds, they have really pulled together as a group and embarked upon several ventures which have brought them a great deal of credit - as well as dollars to swell the graduation coffers! Most notable in this respect was the splendid Fashion Show in which every member of the Class was involved in some capacity. With over $2,500 raised to defray graduation expenses, it certainly promises to be an evening they will long remember. Much ol the credit for the success of Senior Year must go to the teaching staff of both schools. Since this is the last year that a Joint Programme will be offered, I would like to thank the teachers B.H.S. for their efforts and help in previous years. I must single out lor special mention f iay Weiules, who has been an invaluable assistant and friend. We at Saltus arc looking forward to Seplcmbcr and (he start of the Po.st-Cjraduate Year. A programme which will undoubtedly retain all of the positive features of Senior Year and ol ' fer even more to the students.
