Junior School Hockey The Junior School First Hockey Team continued the First Soccer ' s winning ways by being almost unbeatable. Al- though the squad varied greatly in size, spirit was high right from the smallest player to the biggest one. In many games, the team was outsized considerably, buta)ways managed to pull through on the winning side. Many of the players will be back on the First Hockey Team next season so the future looks very bright. Jamieson, Pritchard, J. Slattery, and Sanderson played very well and looks like good hockey material for the Senior School. Mr. Anderson is to be thanked and congratulated for coaching the team to another fine season. With six wins and five losses the season was most successful. This is most encouraging as some of the older players on the team have the makings of outstanding Junior School First Team players next year. Great performances from Keil, Jackson 1, Peart 2, and the two goaltenders Piatt 1 and Kenney 1, enabled the team to beat bigger and more experienced hockey teams. Many thanks to Coach O ' Leary for guiding us through a memorable season. Under the coaching of Mr. McLean the Third Hockey Team weathered the season with five wins, seven losses, and one tie. When we won, it was by a big score, but when we lost, the score was very close. Throughout the campaign, sportsmanship was excellent and we enjoyed playing for Mr. McLean. 82

Trip To Washington At S:15 a.m., on Sunday, 18th June, thirteen boys from the Junior School set out for Washington, D.C. The tour turned out to be a lesson in geography, history and meteorology. The route south took us through central Pennsylvania, through the Appalachians to Harrisburg on the Susquehanna River. It was slow and placid and dotted with islands. We arrived very late at night having had enticing glimpses of the floodlit Washington monument and Capitol as we approached our lodgings at Mount Vernon College in stately Georgetown. Monday morning saw us sweltering in the capital ' s humid heat as the sightseeing started. We began with a tour of the F.B.I, building where we saw the astonishing arsenal of weapons used by the Brinks robbers and a display of firing with a Thompson sub-machine gun. From here we went after lunch in the museum of History and Technology, to the Air and Space museum. What a contrast of exhibits there was. Suspended from the ceiling was the Wright brothers ' string and paper airplane, right next to Lindberg ' s ' Spirit of St. Louis ' , and on the floor beneath them was the command capsule of one of the Apollo flights, a Gemini capsule andShepard ' s first U.S. flight in space capsule. Elsewhere there were balloons and world-war 1 fighting planes. Then on our way back to our bus we went into the original red brick Smithsonian build- ing designed with Victorian splendour, a very sharp contrast from the modern concrete and stone Smithsonian buildings. After dinner that evening we played softball and soccer for two hours until the dusk, and we ended a great day by catch- ing fireflies in the dark! Tuesday dawned brightly; it was perhaps fortunate that we had not listened to a weather forecast. The day ' s tour began at the Lincoln Memorial. As we approached the memorial which had appeared large from a distance grew into truly massive proportions with Lincoln the benign giant surrounded by two of his great speeches, the Gettysburg address and his second inaugural. The American reverence for Lincoln is typified by the name ' temple ' that they have given to the memorial. Central Washington, which reminded us all so much of Rome, seemed even more Roman with this giant brooding over ' urbs et cives Americani ' . Leaving the memorial we walked along the Reflecting Pool towards the Washington monument, but since the line-up was so long we decided to visit the White House. It was interesting to see this famous house but unfortunately there were no guided tours, only an endless line of visitors moving through the rooms. That afternoon we saw more money than any of us had ever seen before, for we visited the Bureau of Printing and
