The 12 day visit focused on 7 soccer games and on becoming a part of the St. johns community: attending classes and orientation sessions, relaxing in the Senior Room, partying whenever possible, and adjusting to the heat. Special activities were arranged to broaden the exposure to the U.S., or more accurately, to Florida. The Kennedy Space Center, Disney World, and the Okefenokee Swamp were visited. Swimming parties at the ocean, Kingsley, and private pools were very popular as well as typically Flori- dian. ln the state capitol, Tallahassee, the team visited the Capitol Building and met Lieutenant Governor Williams. Chesterfield's team found their American experi- ences not too different and quite pleasant. However, they were astonished by the noise of the crickets, mosquitoes, right hand driving, and the absence of the jungle fa la Tarzanj. This year's Chesterfield visit represented the initiation of a new dimen- sion to our soccer program and to our school life. St. johns was proud to host the first phase and we look forward to the renewing friendships formed this Fall and learning the first-hand realities of school and life in England , said Mr. john Abott, who is in charge of the innovative exchange program. 136 f Features
