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.

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.

We got our boards up a little while after Christmas, and then came a snow storm, and made the ice very rough. However, we did get it in shape for our first game. Our first game was played against Holderness. The ice was very bad. Holderness won the game 4-2. Our second game was against Hanover. We played that at home also and again the ice was bad. In the last five seconds of the game they scored one to tie it up. There was a five minute sudden death overtime, but no score was made. The game ended 4-4. Our third game was against New Hampton on ice that was still not good. New Hamp- A E ,.,.,- v . -'f goalie did not allow us to score. The score ended 6-0 in their A -TTI I ton had four lines to our two. A line defense, and a good Q i 'L:'i' 4 -- ' favor, although the Cardigan team played much better than these figures indicate. Our fourth game was with Proctor at Andover. In the first period the puck stayed pretty much in neutral zone. The second period went about the same. In the third period Proctor got a lot of penalties. They had only three men on the ice, plus the goalie. We poured on the steam and scored. However, the goal was not allowed because of a technical error so the game ended 0-0. Our last game was with Vermont Academy. The ice was very slushy. Therefore, no dribbling. Vermont got one goal in each period while we got none. They had the best goalie that we had seen all year. We made several fine attempts to score. The final score was 3-0. Our year ended with three losses, and two ties. The team did a very good job, even though they had little practice, no depth and poor playing conditions.
