Troop 93 is Frozen Trail winner
Marietta Boy Scout Troop
#93, had its Cougar Patrol
participating in the annual
Frozen Trail, held at J.
Edward Mack Boy Scout
Reservation. At the day’s
end, this group tallied three
awards.
The patrol’s awards con-
sisted of a first place
individual prize for Tom
Flowers; third place for
Dave Moyer and an overall
patrol award for second
place.
The Frozen Trail compe-
tition consisted of scout
skills and knowledge with
over 20° patrols and 250
scouts competing for nine
major awards. Marietta
troop participates each year
in the annual event which
originated in 1970, and has
brought home a total of
seven awards. Sleds may be
built by the participants, as
Marietta did, but it is
optional.
Mike Moyer is scout
master and Ray Henry is
assistant for the local troop.
Carl Heilman retires (cont.)
[continued from page 1]
For he will slip in some old
balls
That only he knows how t
bounce off the walls.
But whatever the game, he
is tried and true.
He will toss his cain and
beat you blue.
We honor his pep, his desire
and his drive,
Carl always proves he’s fun
and alive!
Lest one think he’s all drive
and no wit,
To the library he runs and
does his bit.
Not just in math, but of all
subjects he’s a fan,
Carl is truly our Renaissance
man!
Carl is also to receive a
telescope for his retirement,
a very good one, he says. He
is very interested in astron-
omy and told our reporter
about some upcoming
events in the sky.
This spring, according to
Carl, is a very good time for
looking at the sky. The
planets will be quite visible;
Venus in the west right after
sunset, and Jupiter and
Mars in the east, very e¢lose
together. ‘‘I hope I have my
new telescope in time to look
at the planets,’’ he says.
Carl plans to use his
retirement time to indulge
in some of his many
interests outside of math.
He enjoys athletics very
much, as the above poem
indicates, and he would like
to see more chanels opened
in the community.
Although he has had two
hip operations (a friend in
the same position calls him
hippie) he is able to beat
most on the badmitten and
racquetball court. ‘“Why my
daughter Mary Alice and
myself often defeat . two
men,’’ he laughs.
He would like to see more
one wall racquetball, a game
which could be played
outdoors. He feels that more
people could benifit from
the game.
He also talks to gifted
classed and teaches educa-
tional games at summer
workshops. Alice laughs.
‘““We must have 300 mathe-
matical games in this
house.”
He plans to learn basket
weaving sometime soon,
and he told us that he has
made twenty or thirty canes.
“I go out and find a stick
that feels comfortable in
height and grip, and 1 go
from there.”
Carl, a senior alumnus of
* Lebanon Valley College,
received his Master's de-
gree from Duke University.-
In addition, he has studied
at Chicago, Syracuse, Kan-
sas and Temple Universi-
ties. With his wide range of
experience he has some
opinions on the educational
process.
‘The elementary mathe-
matics and science teachers
are lacking a good founda-
tion. They do not get enough
of a chance to study
mathematics, and they do:
not feel comfortable or
competent.
‘‘Secondary teachers, on
the other hand, are well
prepared to teach college
preparatory classes, but
not general mathematics. At
the high school level there is
a great need for useful,
practical mathematics be-
cause most of the students
will not go on to college.
‘“The biggest problem is
in the Junior High or Middle
school. To qualify to teach
here; one can have an
elementary or secondary
degree. There is no special
program for teachers of this
level. Many Junior High
teachers think it is a
promotion to teach in a High
School, and so leave at first
opportunity.”’
Alice agrees with Carl.
She has been in education
for many years also and is
presently employed as the
librarian at Nitrauer Ele-
mentary School in the
Manheim Township school
district.
The Heilman’s have two
children. Carl, who lives in
Brant Lake, New York,
recently invented a new kind
of snowshoe. (See January
2, 1980 Susquehanna Times
for the story.) ‘“‘There is
little snow where he lives
this year,”” Carl relates,
“but he is still getting
orders for his snowshoes.”
Daughter Mary Alice is a
teacher in the Shippens-
Burgh Area school district.
She is also a world traveler,
having made serveral trips
to Israel.
