In those days, Exeter remained a boys - only institution in the classic mode of New England (and
British) prep schools: jackets and ties in classroom and dining
hall, six days of class a week (only till noon on Saturday, however), mandatory sports, movies in the gym on Saturday evenings (after franks and beans in the dining
hall) unless there was a stilted, prearranged
dance with a girls» school, bland and repetitive food (Sunday night's soup we dubbed «the vegetables of the week in review»), unbending discipline, and a sink - or - swim stance toward student performance.
