Missing: Mr. Jenness, Coach. This year was not a very good year for the hockey team, because there was too much snow. 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.

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.

BASEBALL x me t . Front: Mascitis, Slawsby, Hamilton, Seely, Williams, Yameen, Woods, Caplain: Sharpe, Bergeson, Anderson, Bliss, Davidson. Back: Mr. Jenness, Coaclag Gray, Hanley, Whitehead, Bell, Stevenson, Munro, Ford, Dyer, Schutt, Albee, P. Moore, Wurster, Barker, Mgr. On Saturday, May 10, Stevens High of Claremont beat Cardigan by a score of 13-4 in a real game of baseball. The starting pitcher for Cardigan was Tom Yameen. In the fifth inning he was relieved by jack Woods who finished the game. On May 14, the Cardigan team beat Holderness J.V. squad by a score of 8 to 5. The winning pitcher was john Bell. He allowed only three balls out of the infield. This victory gave the team some much needed confidence and foreshadowed the hitting power that was to be so important in our win- ning season. May 17, the Carter Community Center baseball team played Cardigan at Williams Field in Canaan. The score was 18-15 in favor,of Cardigan. The starting pitcher for Cardigan was Tommy Yameen and Jack Woods came in in the fifth inning and linished the game. Some of the good hitters were Jack Woods, Bill Seely, Dave Bergeson and John Bell. On May 21, Cardigan travelled to Claremont to avenge its first defeat by a score of 10 to 3 over the Stevens High j.V. Bell pitched all the way but had a little trouble getting started. In the fifth in- ning Cardigan exploded into action and really looked good. The weather was warm and the field in good condition. On May 24, Cardigan won its fourth consecutive victory, over Carter Community Center in Lebanon. The game was played at the Hanover Street School, the score was 17-8. Although the field was not in very good shape it was a good game. On the mound for us was Tom Yameen who was relieved in the sixth inning by Jack Woods. May 31, was the date of our lifth victory, a no-hitter pitched by John Bell at Newport. The final score was 16-3 over Newport junior High. Again strong hitting helped a line pitching job. Our last game on June 4, was a real thriller in which we lost 10-9 to Newport. Yameen and Woods both had trouble pitching, but the loss went to Bell who allowed one unearned run after our strong hitting and base running had tied the score in the third inning. To sum the season up, our pitching was very good. Catchers Whitehead and Bliss both have worked well. The infield of Dyer, Seely, Captain Woods, and Munro or Williams at third has been relatively tight. The outfield composed of Schutt, Sharpe, Hanley or Stevenson has hit well and looked fast and sure defensively. This appears to be the best varsity team which Cardigan has had in some time. They all deserve lots of credit and praise.
