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

Some quotes from the boys We ' ll miss you. 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. We ' ll miss your words of disapproval when we ' ve been remiss in our duties, your words of praise when we ' ve done well, your words of encouragement when we ' re feeling low, and your sense of humour. But above all, we ' ll miss you as a collegue and a friend. Farewell! Enjoy your well earned rest from the trials and tribulations of the teaching profession.
