Our use of the word success is based on several things. First of all the attendance throughout the entire day was very good. The enthusiasm shown by all players competing in the even dozen contests and an hour of scrimmage for the smallest fry participating each Saturday in the minor hockey program was terrific. Thanks to the co-operation of the weatherman, the gross revenue Saturday was the highest for any Minor Hockey Day in the past. The last couple of years storms have interfered with attendance. Mothers of members of the Exeter all-star clubs took care of the kitchen duties in providing lunch for both clubs in the last eight games of the day. We can't forget the referees and other minor officials in giving of their services to make this day the big one in the year as far as the hockey program is concerned. A lot of these jobs were taken on by managers and coaches of the minor teams. One of the highlights of the day was the appearance of the bantam team from Trenton, Michigan. The local bantam team travelled to the Michigan suburb of Detroit a year ago and this was a return visit. It's actually only the start of a series of games between the two hockey organizations. The Exeter Waxers and Broncos are making a trip to Trenton on the weekend of March 3 and 4 for a two game series and the same age teams from Michigan will be in Exeter the following weekend. The Waxers are the youngest organized hockey team in Exeter being boys eight years of age and under in the mite category. The Broncos play in the novice division and are 10 years of age or younger. While the Exeter Minor Hockey Day was held Saturday similar activities were held at the Huron Park arena. The highlight there was a three game series with teams from Royal Oak Michigan Saturday afternoon. The Huron Park observance actually started Friday night with a couple of games as the ice time Saturday night was taken up by the London Kings playing in OHA Senior "B" company. Another busy weekend With Minor Hockey Day just completed at the Exeter arena, the scene shifts a block south this week to South Huron District High School. The students and staff at South Huron are staging their annual Winter Carnival Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. While the event is called Winter Carnival, some co- operation from the weatherman will be needed in order to ,complet,e,so.trie of the outdoor games. The Carnival opens ;Friday afternoon at the arena at two o'clock with the always popular broomball game between the teaching staff and grade 13 students. This year a tug-of-war on ice is being added. • The different versions of the outcome of the broomball game each year are quite interesting. Principal Joe Wooden tells us the teachers have never lost since he took over at the school while the students claim several victories. What is probably needed is an unbiased scorekeeper. Where, oh where, could you find such a person. The Friday program will be completed with a dance at 9 p.m. featuring the Homestead and the "Hell Fighter" movie running from midnight until three in the morning. Students will be up bright and early Saturday morning to participate in a marathon basketball going from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. At nine, ping pong, shuffleboard and smash games will get underway and continue most of the day. The student council has come up with several unique and different contests to increase interest for the students. At ten o'clock Saturday morning, a tricycle race will start. This will be sort of an obstacle race throughout the school. A large number of entries have been received so the race will be run in relays. A real auto race atmosphere will be attained byohaving race crews, pit stops, wheel changes and driver changes. Also included on the morning schedule will be skidoo and snowshoe orienteering, snow sculpturing and the always popular powder puff football. The afternoon program is filled with items of interest. The indoor events will include pie throwing, taffy pulling, jello eating and bubble gum blowing along with entertain- ment by coffee house singers. The outside program will emphasize snowmobile races, toboggan and snowshoe races and boat races. In the evening two Abbott and Costello movies will be shown beginning at 7.30 p.m. and at nine o'clock a dance will start featuring the popular group "Edward Bear." Two showings of the movie "Play Misty For Me" will be held Sunday at 2 and 7 p.m. and the hours from 9 to 11 will be available for skating at the Exeter arena. A coffee house will be set up in the halls of the school Friday night and all day Saturday. It sounds like a very interesting program that is lined up and we hope a large number of students and members of the staff will take advantage of the opportunity to engage in many of these fun activities.
