The Guyer Barn celebrated
its 10th anniversary with agala
affair last Monday evening.
In addition to honoring the
new director, Deborah Carr,
homage was paid to the work
of Shirley Flynn, who many
consider to be the main rea-
son the Guyer is still around.
"Shirley was the one who
saved it from demolition,"said
Marian Desrosiers, chairman
of the Barnstable Cultural
Council. "It was about to be
turned into aparking lot, and
it was her leadership that
got the ball rolling. Shirley
Flynn is the patron saint of
the Guyer."

GOT THE WORLD OH A STRING - On a nostalgic visit lo Osterville Bay
Elementary School, Tom McDonald, left, and Tom Evans ring the old
school's bell.

Academy occupied Osterville Bay Elementary School in 1980.

years,and both men at various
times helped bailout aflooded
basement classroom.
Recallinghisearly years as a
student,McDonald confessed,
"I didn't come to school to
learn.Ilearned alongthe way.I
had agreattime here as akid."
That included running home
through the woods for anhour
lunch break , an unsupervised
jaunt that just wouldn't hap-
pen in today 's schools.
Meanwhile,Evanswasliving
in Chicago where,he admitted
(perhaps to ease McDonald's
window-breaking guilt), he
pegged snowballs at taxis
while attending parochial
school. "It wasn't fun," he
said. "There was no joy. You
toed the line."
When they were boys, Mc-
Donald said, "the education
system reflected the world
we were living in. Everything
was black and white.Youknew
right from wrong, there were
clear lines, and the commu-
nity understood that. About
the time that color TV came
in, the lines began to blur. I
think that's just continued ,
and now there 's no clear line
about many things."
"The whole issue of account-
ability has become so fuzzy,"
Evans said. "When we were
young and in school, if the
principa l called home and
said this is what happened ,
you were in a heap of trouble.
There was no discussion, no
debate and you needed to
change. And now - I don't
knowwhetherit'stelevisionor
what it is-everythingisargu-
able and every opinion needs
tobe dignifiedeventhoughit's
the silliest thingyou've heard
in a very long time."
Both bemoaned the amount
of time disciplinary actions
take away from workingon is-
sues such as student achieve-
ment.
Asked whether students
themselves were different
from the childhood class-
mates he remembered,Evans
said, "This is a much more
entertainedgeneration. They
spend so much more of their
time in front of computers
withsomany oftheir activities
structured for them. You and
I were told by our mothers,
'Go out and play and be home
in time for dinner,' and we'd
go out with our buddies and
invent rules and comeup with
new stuff, come up with new
games. A lot of the creative
aspects of creative play, just
creative havingfun, are differ-
ent,and that'staken awayreal
learning opportunities."
Children have become ac-
customed to '"two- or three-
minute television info bites,"
Evans said, "and then we ask
them to sit down and pay at-
tention for 45 minutes."
"It's so much faster now,
and things happen so much
more rapidly,"McDonald said.
"The hope of the future isthat
you've got young teachers
coming in with great enthusi-
asm and great ideas and they
understand the culture that
they're coming from perhaps
better than we do. I think if
they're trained properly and
have the right supervision, I
think there's great hope for
the future."
Both educators are con-
cerned about Cape Cod'sabil-
ity to sustainits teachers and
school administrators in the
face ofrisinghouseprices.Mc-
Donaldwasparticularlyblunt:
"If they're not living on Cape
Codnow,the chances are'they
won't be teaching here."
Near the close of their chat,
the headmaster and the su-
perintendent took a moment
to reflect on their accomplish-
ments. For Evans, his efforts
in concert with many others
to create a sprawling campus
with 130,000 square feet ofin-
structionalspace "owned free
and clear"willalwaysprovide
satisfaction.
McDonald named three
memorieshe'lltreasure:teach-
ing in the classroom, helping
to create the Barnstable Hor-
aceMann CharterSchool,and
cominginto a"crazysituation"
asinterimsuperintendent two
years ago and "hopefully, leav-
ing when it's not as crazy."
Evans will become one of
six members of Resource
Group 175 (the number is for
the company's Park Avenue
headquarters' address inNew
YorkCity), whichhelpsprivate
schools and their boards of
directors find administrators
and deal with other issues.
He's been elected as one of
twovice-chairs(withthe Cape
Cod Chamber of Commerce's
WendyNorthcross) of the task
force that'sreviewingthe way
the Cape Cod Commission
does business.
McDonald will keep three
plates spinning: a partner-
ship with Kevin Harrington,
the former school committee
chairman who's served as a
financial consultant to the
Barnstable schools the last
two years, in a school safety
company; a partnership with
his son Chris as franchise
ownersfor the ReadersDigest
"BooksAreFun"programthat
supplies school districts in
four counties; and ajob with
Aptium, the local computer
and software companyfound-
ed by Rob Pemberton, Jr.
That last news prompted
Evans to declare that Pem-
berton is a Cape Cod Acad-
emy alumnus, and that his
father Bob , who founded
Software 2000 cum Infinium,
wason the search committee
that selected Evans for the
headmaster's job a quarter
century ago.
Not to be outdone , Mc-
Donald said of the younger
Pemberton, "My wife was his
2nd grade teacher."
As the men exited into
the bright sunlight, McDon-
ald mentioned that things
might even be looking up for
Osterville Bay. A somewhat
surprisingspikeinenrollment
prompted the administra-
tion to add another half-time
kindergartenteacher for Sep-
tember.
Evanslooked at the front of
the building and recalledhow
he had cut down and hauled
away a mass of overgrown
shrubbery the weekend in
1980whenhe moved infor his
half-decade stay.
With a gleam in his eye,
McDonald asked, "Can you
get back here over the July
Fourth weekend?"
