Notes ♫ Yep. They made us "duck and cover" under the desks. I went to Catholic school and the nuns would tell us: "If the Communists attack and tell you to take a crucifix off of the wall and step on it, don't do it. Make them shoot you, instead." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 gearbasher, We knew about the " duck and cover" drills here in Canada, but they were never conducted in our schools. I always knew they were useless and a waste of time because if hiding under a desk could save someone from the blast and radiation effects of a nuclear weapon, members of the American military would have had school desks strapped to their bodies for protection in battle, in case the Russians decided to use them.

Cripes, by that time my school district quit having those drills. All we had were the occasional fire drills. But 1966 was my first year of high school, and the new high school building(as "new" as 1961) was constructed with a lower level fallout shelter and the walls were plastered with posters instructing us how to get to it, if the need ever arised. But yeah, I remember the "duck and cover" under the desk drills we had in grade school. We also had another drill for tornadoes should one ever come along. They called for us to go out to the hall and(since the school was built in 1918 there were no lockers an those walls) crouch down under where our coats or jackets were hanging down where the floor met the wall. But I don't think a tornado would have done much if any serious damage to this building.... Goodell elementary school, Lincoln Park, MI.... Looks to be around the later '40's.

There has always been fighting in hockey, and it is a part of the game that I completely disagree with. If it was up to me, pro hockey would have the same policy as college hockey: fight and you're out, and the policy for repeat offenders would be draconian. Lengthly suspensions, and enormous fines. I have been playing continuously since about 1958, and have been in one fight in all that time. And for the most part I would say that most players aren't interested in fighting, so yes, hockey was civil when I played as a young boy, and taking into account that it is a very-high speed, continuous action, bodily contact sport is quite civil today as well.

If that escalated, we Floridians would be in bad shape. I remember, before FIdel, when Havana was a great vacation spot. A friend of mine had a Pink T-Bird convertible that was sold to him as formerly belonged to Batitista's daughter I remember gigging in bars with ads on the walls, "Mixed drinks 35¢, top shelf 45¢." I was underage at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Terry Sawchuk was the first goalie I ever saw wear a face mask..." Whitefang Whitefang, The first NHL goalie to wear a facemask was Clint Benedict, in 1930, while playing for the Montreal Maroons. It was made from leather, and worn to protect a broken nose. Once the nose healed, he discarded the mask and played the remainder of his career without one. In the modern era, the use of face masks began with Jacques Plante, who played for the Montreal Canadiens. He had been experimenting with fibreglass masks for a few years and wore them in practices. On November 1, 1959, he was hit in the face by a shot from Andy Bathgate of the New York Rangers. After being stitched up, he refused to return to the ice until his coach permitted him to don the mask. He played one other game later without it, (which he lost), and never played without it again. Terry Sawchuk, then of the Detroit Red Wings, first wore a mask on October 11, 1962, which was a year later than I began wearing one.
