SKA T IN G The skating for this year was not good and the reason was snow. The first two weeks of the season the ice was very good but in january the snows came, about seventy inches in all. For a while it looked as though we would never skate again. We watched television and went shopping and bowling in Hanover. Finally a small clear- ing was made on the ice, but it was much too rough and soggy for good skating. However, Mr. Harrington taught us one by one to skate and by the end of the season we were all pretty good skat- ers. gn .35 b isgfei FB rf-. -N' From: Yameen, McLean, Penta, Clemence, Cox, Wojtul.

.SKIING This year's skiing program was full and exciting. All ski- ers started oFf in the beginners group which is group E and then worked up through the ranks to groups B and A. Many boys who never skied before this year went as high as group B. But this was ac- complished only with the ex- pert supervision of Cardigan's faculty. Looked forward to by ev- eryone was the night skiing made possible by spot lights which were rigged up by the ski tow. The highlight of the skiing program was the trip to Mt. Sunapee. The skiing was excellent and everyone had a good time. The ski season was good for three reasons.

A group of five boys under the leadership of Mr. Leavitt built a cross-country course around the point, which lies at the south end of campus. Building this course took us about seven days. This course was used last winter but was not in very good shape. Many trees, stumps and rocks were on the trail making it pass- able only with fifteen inches of snow. It can now be used with about six inches of snow. The Pinnacle, a hill about two miles from campus, was our other working spot where we spent most of the time building a short-cut which we called the Devills Short-cut because it comes from the Devil's Highway over some rocks and ledges and meets the Highway further down the trail. We also made some trails at the top of the hill which connect with the main trail. Most of the boys think that we did a fairly good job in the short time we had to do this work.
