Cardigan had a pretty good team this year. We won three and lost three. As most of the people who were here in years past know, this is much better than we have done before. This is due to the fine job done by the coaches, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Jenness, our two Co-Captains, John Bell and Steve Hanley and our manager, jack Benson. They all did a wonderful job. We had a number of good players on the team this year. They all came down and did their jobs no matter what the weather was like. We played many good teams this year. -We started our season by beating Claremont Jr. High, 'rr , A 6-0. Then we went to Lebanon to play Carter Community , .,. a 1 .. Center. They scored once in the first half, but we came back and beat them with two touchdowns and a safety. When the game ended we led 15-6. Then we played Han- over. The lirst touchdown was made when we received a fourth down punt and ran it back all the way. Next we scored on a long run by Steve Hanley. We won the game 13-6. After the Hanover game we lost three, but they were all good games. Against Newport who beat us 6-0 all the boys played well but we just did not get the breaks. The next two games were against New Hampton and Yermont Academy. They were both well played. There is a good group of players returning to form the base for a fine team next season.

ul F SKI TEAM P bfi Sli? Front: Davenport, Hamilton. Back: Woods, Anderson, Capt., Barker, Hanley, Whittlesey, Everest, Cobb Free man, Mr. Leavitt, Coach. Missing: Filios, Wurster, Mgr. The first ofucial ski team was organized this year and it turned out quite well. Our schedule for the season was as follows: Eaglebrook School Jan. 25 Emerson School Feb. 1 Holderness Feb. 11 Vermont Academy Feb. 22 Stevens jr. High Feb. 26 Vermont Academy March 5 Enfield March 8 Mr. Leavitt, our coach, did a fine job in bringing us together as a strong team. He worked hard on the Pinnacle, our ski hill, during the Fall activities and free days. He got groups of boys together to even out the slopes and make a down hill trail. We had three eventsg downhill, slalom and cross- country. There was a special trail on the Pinnacle for down- hill which we christened The Devil's Highway. The slalom course was usually set up by Mr. Burbank and one or two of the students and was located on the main portion of the slope. Mr. Burbank was an excellent course setter having set many before he came to Cardigan and he knew just how to trap an unsuspecting speed-demon who thought he had studied the course. Horne Home Away Away Home Home Away A Lost Won Won Lost Won Won Won Mr. Leavitt made a cross-country course at the very beginning of the year which could wear out just about anyone, but as the ski season progressed he decided to build another one even longer with more traps Sum ming it up, for our first season we did very well winning five and losing two.
