BATT'N AROUND
— Continued from Page 4
The adult contingent climbed into
taxis for a planned dinner engagement
at one of Exeter’s better seafood
restaurants and the tempting dishes
that awaited were enjoyed by most.
The writer bravely ordered up a
plate of steamed clams for our first en
counter with that delicacy. “Are they
fresh?” we asked. Thinking that her
words may not be believed, the con
genial waitress returned from the
kitchen with a tiny clam in her hand
and it was carefully examined and soon
became a “pet” for Sandy Pratt.
The waitress was even kind enough
to show us how to take the clam out of
its shell, peel the black skin off its neck
and dip it into the water and butter
before sending it on its trip past our
taste buds. Very tasty indeed! (Keep
ing your eyes closed helps, though.)
★ * ★
Our first visit to the “arena” at
Phillips Academy for Saturday mor
ning’s game provided another exciting
aspect to the outing.
We used the word arena rather
; guardedly because the games were, .
• played on a double ice surface in a •
comparatively new $7,000,000 sports
complex at one of the world’s richest
private schools. One arena had seating
for around 850 people, while its couter-
part on the other side afforded fans a
bird’s-eye view of the action from a
high standing room section high above
the ice.
The complex also contained a high
gymnasium (that could be split into
four basketball courts) a squash cen
tre, indoor pool, weight room. etc.
The only thing that appeared to be
over-looked was dressing room
facilities. The boys changed in another
area of the building and had to walk
outside to get to another room near the
ice surfaces in which they put on their
skates.
An equal oddity was the fact that the
players’ benches had no doors. They
may be ideal for high school athletes,
but for atom hockey players it provided
a real challenge, to say nothing of the
coach, who had to pull players over the
boards or jump quickly out of the way
as they sommersaulted their way into
the bench.
It was suggested that the boys should
be equipped with handles on the tops of
their helmets so they could be hoisted
into the bench.
There had been some concern among
our contingent over the fact we could
be badly out-classed on the ice,
because we were playing against a
team from Concord (population 30,000
plus), Exeter (population 10,000 plus)
and Alexander Park from Montreal,
reputed to be one of the better teams
from that city.
However, our lads arose to the occa
sion with three brilliant team efforts
that resulted in our win, loss and tie.
With a break at all against Concord, we
would have won, but there were no
lucky bounces to be had.
After beating Exeter, we faced Mon
treal and their earlier one-sided wins
is inclicabqd they expected to walk all
overfus4oo. They ended up being lucky
to gain a tie.
Howevbt, because the games were -
secondary, we shall dwell more on the
hospitality afforded us in Exeter. We
were not just “another team” in the
tournament and Doug Dicey and chair
man Harry Thayer went out of their
way to show us an extra special time.
Many of the hosts also gave our boys
special treatment with exploratory
visits to the ocean, movies, etc. They
even drove us back and forth to our
motel on occasions and hosted us at a
special tournament party.
Before leaving, Harry Thayer gave
all our boys an Exeter, N.H. touque
and they are much in evidence on the
local streets these days.
It was just a tremendous weekend.

‘categorical divisions exist.
Obviously the various
subjects or disciplines are
inter-related so that one
cannot study Geography
without referenceto Physics,
History, Mathematics. The
study of Electricity is not
possible without
mathexnatics, physics,
chemistry. A students high
school program should be a
unified whole not a collection
of unrelated courses.
Parents and students should
keep this in mind when the
students program is being
planned.
Perhaps no educational
system will ever appeal to all
people or be satisfactory tor
all people. In Ontario we
have set universal,
democratic education as a
goal. It is an admirable goal
but very difficult. Education
takes place only when the
student wants to be
educated. ■
The credit system works
very well for. some and not
for others. But the super
ficial organization of an
educational system is not
really as important as the
underlying purpose of
education. In my view
education should have as a
premise the idea “that the
realm of being is meaningful
to the extent that we are able
to view it comprehensively
... for everything . . . tends
to shed light on everything
else.” Secondary education
should try to provide the
student with “at least a
But schools can go onjy so
far’ in providing and
motivating. After that it is up
to the student.
