BURBANK It is seldom that anyone can, in so brief a time, come to personify an institution such as Cardigan Mountain School as have the Headmaster and Mrs. Burbank in their three years on campus. With tire- less effort and unwavering devotion they have un- selfishly shared with us the fruits of their many years of experience in education. It is to them that We, the Class of 1959, gratefully dedicate our BLAZE. ...,?v Svtaff H MR.

Bil1's easy going personality made him very easy to get along with throughout the year. We all remember the yarns he told so well during our second Talent Night. The Ski Team had a talented skier and a dependable leader for its captain in '59. laze, have made him respected y faculty and students alike. ERNEST W.

The familiar sight of Ernie loping past our classrooms at the end of each class period to ring the bell was often, especially in the spring, a welcome one. He became an established comedian when, on our ski holiday, his wry humor made things a little more bearable after the bus driv- er lost his way. COLIN G. CAMPBELL Glen Skating 8, Chess, Cards and Checkers 8, Forestry 8 8: 9, Campus Improvement 8, Elec- tronics Club 8, Skiing 9. If you should overhear some- one planning the first rocket to the moon, it is probably Glen. In fact there are rumors he is building it on his Forestry plot. Perhaps Glen's electronic brain is one of a budding Edison. 59 Ronnnr S.

When we think of jon one trait immediately comes to mind, dependability. He is always ready and willing to pitch in with a smile, and help out whenever needed. We hope his stay at Berwick is a pleasant One. Iver ready to fill you in on the top tunes of the current week. d X ROGER A. FINDLAY Campus Improvement 9, Ski- ing 9, Waterfront 9, Rillery 9. Another newcomer to the class of '59, Roger always seems to be willing to lend a hand with all the little chores around campus that just have to be done. As he is an avid rifle fan, we wish him a bang-up time at Salisbury School next year! JOHN M. S.

If you see someone dash by with a camera in one hand and part of a radio in the other, he is very apt to be john. The pun, for better or for worse, has been adopted by him as a constant method of retort. John's humor really ought to be recorded for posterity, most of the intellec- tual seniors claim. 59 DAVID C.

RICHARD B. MEYNELL Dick Football 7 8: 9, Skiing 7 8: 9, Waterfront 8, Chess, Cards and Checkers 8, Tennis 9, Senior Class Treasurer 9, Headmaster's Prize. It is rumored that in the spring Dick was on time a little more often, although piano les- sons still remained a problem. In the fall he was known to have made the football squad. Sprinting to English and Social Studies is the way he got in shape! Once Dick puts his mind to something it is sure to be well done. .J 1' - ...bird .'

In the classroom and on the playing fields Yatchi, along with making great improvement, has been well liked by Seniors and underclassmen alike.

Catch a glimpse of someone wearing a raincoat on a perfect- ly beautiful day and it will prob- ably be Karl. It's not that he likes the rain so much, he is just ex- pressing himself! S om e h o w when you hear Karl tell an old joke, no matter how many times you have heard it before, a laugh is guaranteed. An old hand with the faculty children, Kar1's com- pany is enjoyed by all. se fn-w-:du 59 FREDIERIC F. PEARCE III Fred Football 9, Skiing 9, Forest 9. A new comer in his seni year and the smallest senior the football squad, Fred's frien ly, quiet, and smooth personalit and his ability to have a go time with the boys, made him welcome addition to Cf class of '59.

PRIESTLEY Dick Host Committee CChairmanJ 9, Library Committee 9, Tennis 9, Skiing 9, Clark Morgan Floor Leader 9, Baseball 9. Dick's first year at Cardigan was his Senior one, but that did not prevent him from being ac- cepted quickly into the upper class clan. His winning ways made him a logical choice for the Host Committee and we all forgave him for directing all his attentions toward one girl once each dance had begun. THOMAS J.

If you notice an especially cool cat sauntering toward the dining room all dressed in red, it is definitely Tom. Every- thing he owns is red. You might say red is his favorite color!

When we came to Cardigan we had high hopes for our futures. We have not failed. Our first days seem so far behind us, and we heaved a sigh of relief as we finished our first year. We were glad to have a part in this new experience. Now we are leaving this educational institution to go on to institutions of higher learning. We shall take with us many new experiences, many memories, and great hopes. We shall never forget our years here and the many things we learnedg the qualities of leader- ship, sportsmanship, and friendship, that were such an important part of this learning. We shall never forget the sacrifices that were made to make our school days at Cardigan some of the most memorable days of our lives. We shall never forget the valuable time, assistance, and guidance given to us by our teachers. The time has come for us to take our leave of these hallowed halls and go our separate ways. We wish we could give you the things we've learned, but you must realize that this is impossible. We hope that you, the underclassmen, will take full advantage of what Cardigan has to offer. We have learned it is the best. We hope that your future and the future of Cardigan will profit from your efforts. Sincerely, we .gzniorri BREWSTER H LL Front Row: Mr. Wood, Mary and Mr. Wakely, Charles and Mrs. Wakely, Westlund, Filios 3 Barker J., Chase, Sigman, Clemence, Upson, Bobskill, Young, Mr. Harrington.

I wouldn't be in any other if you paid me . . . look at all Brewster has to offer. Why . . . there is absolutely no competition as far as other dorms go, and just look at how it has changed! No more wood beds that squealed and marked the floor, no more broken springs and ripped sheets. Now we have new steel beds with good springs, and legs that still squeak and mark the floor. No hard mattresses that keep you awake all night. No more soft ones that left you, in effect, lying on the floor with springs sticking in your back. Our new mattresses do sink down a bit, but, well . . . By the way have you seen our new common room? It's beautiful, isn't it? And our parties every Monday night are tops. And our . . . i .

'QI Mfr' rg' Q- B at Wait a minute will you? Tell me a little bit about what you have in this so-called common room. Well, as you probably know, the room, in the basement of Brewster, has a beautiful counter and stool set-up Cfor parties, etc.l. It has a new ping-pong table, which is very popular. Now instead of sitting down there in the deafening silence and solitude, doing your homework, you can sit down, if indeed you can find a seat, amid the yelling, screaming, turbulent throng that are excitedly following the ping-pong game. Doing your homework, and trying to ignore the mo- notonous, maddening, ponk-pink-ponk of the ping-pong ball is but a minor problem. Well, we have a fine dorm, and well-staffed too. With the Wakelys CN., B., C., and MJ and Mr. Wood on the top floor, and the Harringtons QR., J., and MJ with Mr. Noldt on the bottom floor, we have a very complete and able staff who are always ready to offer help to troubled, disap- pointed, or stupid students. The faculty members often hold floor parties for the boys. My hat's off to those brave souls, our faculty. A hner group of boys you couldn't find. Why, the Brew- ster boys have more spirit than those of any other dorm. We do have our troubles, however. We still can't decide which is worse: Doty playing his records at full volume with the door open and the windows shut, or, Doty playing his records at full volume with the windows open and the door shut! Blake Munro is our able student dorm leader. He has a line staff of boys under his command, as it were. On the bottom floor there are Sargent and Hamilton to keep order. On the top floor there are Sandy Harris and Miller. They do 'a good job at keeping the noise down to a dull roar. We also have our share of hackers, including most of those in the dorm. I mean a dorm wouldn't be much of a dorm if it didn't have its share of the hackers, would it? We have no riots and mass fights, but the boys do manage to find some extra-extra-superextra-curricular activities to indulge in.

While undertaking the job of writing about C.M. for the Blaze I wandered about the campus trying to get a lead on just what everybody's opinion of our newest dormitory was. I overheard most of the fol- lowing. Asking a few questions allowed me to com- plete my story. Hey, John, did you hear about Clark Morgan? . . . No, what? . . . '1'hey're holding another of those big parties. You know, decorations, entertainment and good food .... Oh that's not unusual. Clark Morgan is always having some sort of gala get-together. Boy, what I'd give to live in that dorm .... Yeah, I know what you mean. Big rooms, lots of windows, new furniture .... And you don't have to go out in a blizzard to go and gobble your share of Clancy's good food? How about the new C.M. common room. It's almost completed now, and I hear it's going to look better than the faculty lounge! I wish we had one like it. Clark Morgan has the advantage of being right in the center of things, and has a bird's eye view of all the activity that takes place on Cotting Field. You know, Charles, I overheard a group of masters from our dorm, and they were saying how they wished we boys would act more like those from C.M. They don't have all this hacking around over there! Where you going Charlie? . . . To see what I can do to shape up our dorm .... That's going to be quite a hard job to do .... I know, but with a lot of hard work we might do it. Clark Morgan did.

We in Hinman think we have the best dorm on campus. I guess it is only natural that we should feel this way, but we do have reasons. Some of them are difhcult to put in print, and just stopping in to visit would not make them obvious to a visitor. Perhaps on a different level we have something comparable to school spirit. Hinman has esprit de corps, and we who live there take pride in what we have. Hinman has been more than just a place to hang ,L tx W Q ggi? ht f3!.'E '-5 nia- Xf Q , A4 .ei our books this year. Perhaps a lot of credit goes to the faculty who are always ready when needed with help and guidance. Much credit should also be given Sandy Knudson, our dorm leader, and our able floor leaders, Dave Freeman and john Randall. Quiet dur- Y ing study hall and during free time helped us to develop many of the scholars on campus. Our common room isn't quite finished yet, but we all realize that it takes other people's time and only our patience to receive something we have wanted for a long time.. Well, we have blown our own horn long and loud enough. Come visit us and form your own opinions. a A 5 I - .A W yu , ' 3 , FCCTB LL B nm Frou!

C.M.S. finished the football season undefeated and untied for the first time in its history. There were also two other firsts this season. The team was out- fitted in brand new uniforms and they had the use of the newly dedicated Cotting Field for practice and home games. The team played out of the split T formation which was enhanced by the return of several veteran players. Blake Munro and Ed Ball did an excellent job at the tackle positions. Ed Ball also did some very fine kicking of fourth downs. Helping them in the forward wall were our guards, Sandy Knudson and Sandy Harris, along with our center, Bill Wurster. The ends, Bill Whitehead and Biff Williams gave the team a strong pass offense and were very effective ground gainers carrying the ball on reverses around end. i ri. +.bfVf- V l . . In the offensive backheld we had Doug Abercrombie at quarterback, Yatchi Ohta and Bill Seely as half- backs, and Dave Bergeson at fullback. The backfield was fast, deceptive, and well balanced. Yatchi was a fast starter and quick to change direction. Bill Seely's sheer determination and power won us many first downs and he spelled the difference in the Hanover game with his conversion for the necessary points to win. Dave Bergeson was an excellent runner and passer who could be depended upon for those needed yards and touchdowns. Dave also played well at the defensive tackle position. Our defensive team was also a strong unit consist- ing mainly of the afore-mentioned. Jim Hinman did a good job at safety and Willett Cobb broke in at de- fensive end and played some in the offensive end spot. We were very fortunate in having the following boys so effective as substitutes: Bob Bolton and Tom Hamilton as halfbacks, jim Hinman as fullback, Bert Comins as quarterback and John Miller, Normand Schreuder, Thumper Auer, and Dick Meynell as line- men. This year's team was not composed of outstanding players, but rather a group of boys who worked to- gether as a unit to become an outstanding team. Those names mentioned here and those not, never lacked in spirit nor enthusiasm. The praise received from offi- cials, spectators, and opposing coaches and players for their good sportsmanship, hard but clean play was well deserved. It is with a warm feeling of grati- tude that I, along with Mr. Lary, was able to have shared in their success. D.T.T.

These are the words that send a chill up and down the spine of the Cardigan Hockey Team on the afternoon of a big game. We were lucky this year, and we had many good days both for games and for practice. We started skat- ing right after Thanksgiving Vacation, and continued almost up to the hrst of March. There were times, however, when we had to swap our skates and sticks for a shovel, temporarily, to clear the snow off the ice that had accumulated during the long winter night. The team took this problem in its stride, and at- tacked the snow with almost as much vigor as they did the opposing teams. With the help of Mr. Couter- marsh and his trusty snowblower, the ice was cleared in almost no time. Many of the players this year lacked experience, but they made up for this in enthusiasm. They prac- ticed hard, played hard, and had a very good time in the process. We completed our season with two wins, four de- feats, and one tie. The team took its ups and downs in stride, and accepted defeat after a game well-played almost as well as they accepted victory. Our most thrilling game this season was against Proctor Academy. It was a nip and tuck affair all the way, and even after a six minute sudden death period, the score remained two to two. It was the opinion of our coach and the spectators that this was the best game that we played. Next year there are a number of lettermen return- ing, and we hope that we have built a good founda- tion for the coming season. , .

This year Cardigan had its second Ski Team. We had only ten boys on the squad, but it was a strong team and the boys placed their scores closely together. We lacked power to do well against prep school cross country teams, but we made up' for this in the other events. Downhill, jumping, and slalom races found us consistently in the winner's circle. The new 15 meter jump was finished before snow came, just north of Brew- ster. It proved to be well designed, and we were very successful using it during home meets. Many boys who had not jumped before learned to jump quite well by the end of the season. We had five dual ski meets this year and the won-lost results were: Cardigan vs Proctor won Cardigan vs Kimball Union Academy won Cardigan vs Stevens High of Claremont lost Cardigan vs Vermont Academy lost Cardigan vs Holderness won We also had two three-way meets. One with Vermont Academy and Deer- field Academy, in which we finished second, and another with Dublin School and Putney School, which we won. This year we were taught many more racing and jumping skills. Combine this with all our enjoyable times, and you have just about all one could ask for in a skiing season. Thanks, Mr. Leavitt, for leading this fine team through such a successful season. -jar, BASEBALL Front Row: Winship, Barker J., Smith F., Krolme, Stewart CAsst.

We played eight games, losing four and winning four. We therefore closed the S621- son with a five hundred average. This year's captain was our first baseman, Blake Munro. Our first game was with Woodstock Country Day School at Woodstock, and we lost it, 11-9. It was close all the way, and without the early inning jitters of the season's first game we might have won. Next we played our Hrst home game, the first var- sity game ever played on the new Cotting Field dia- mond. We beat Proctor 12-11. The game was won by a very exciting last inning rally. Our third game was away against Newport. We lost 5-4. We were one run ahead in the top of the seventh, but they came through with some good bunt- ing and scored two runs to win. Our next game was also away against Holderness. We were never out of the running, but lost 4-1. Next game was Holderness on Cotting Field. We took the field with plenty of spirit, but they over- powered us, 23-7. In the fourth inning Jim Hinman hit a home run with two men on base. In our sixth game we played host to Newport and beat them by a score of 9-7. In the last inning Bill Seely hit a grand slam home run that won the game. He was the team's leading batter with an aver- age of .588. Next came Proctor at Andover. At his first time at bat for the whole season Dick Priestley hit a home run with two men on, and put us out of danger of a tie in the seventh. We won 7-4. The last game of the season was played at home against Kimball Union Academy. We played a good spirited game and were victorious 5-4 to finish with our hoped-for five hundred average. Throughout the season we had good pitching from Biff Williams and Jim Hinman. We had a defense that became stronger as the season progressed, being largely responsible for our winning the last three games of the season.

At Cardigan in the winter just about everybody that's anybody skis, just ask any skier! About seventy- five percent of the student body enters into this ski program, and most are amazed when they realize how very easy it is to master the old hickories. E class is where everyone who has not been in the program a previous year starts. Here the fundamentals are taught and mastered before you proceed to the more advanced D, C, B, and A classes. For the last few years some of the faculty have taken instruction themselves at the Gray Rocks Inn, near Mount Tremblant in Canada during the Christmas recess. By the time we students return most of our instructors seem to have their ski legs, and are ready to show us what they have learned about the latest ski techniques. This year the skiing was excellent and except for a short period in early january the snow was plenti- ful. The Pinnacle was still skiable in early April after spring vacation. At the end of the season virtually everyone was beyond the snowplow stage of learning and the ma- jority were in B class attempting to ski parallel. Highlights of the season were some moonlight ski- ing on Clancyis Mountain and a fantabulous ski holi- day at Mount Cranmore in Conway, New Hampshire. The marvelous spring skiing at Cranmore is described in the Special Events Section. On our ski holiday the rest of the school joined us, let us say as guests of the winter sport at Cardigan. SKATING lmgll Ill l :str Front Rout: Smith F., van Esselstyn, Clemence, Weeks P. Back Row: Talbert, Doty, Schreuder, Davidson. Skating this year was under the able supervision of Mr. Noldt, Mr. Brayman, and Mr. Minnier. The very cold weather and little snow, compared with last year, gave the skaters a very enjoyable season. Snow flurries and unseasonal rains made skating at times a little hazardous, but this did not stop the skating. Snow shovels were used, and the ice was guarded like a prize sow to prevent anyone breaking through a new freeze. Many of the boys had never skated before, but before the end of the season they were quite adept at gliding around the lake. Even in the zero tempera- tures that were not unusual, skaters could be seen skimming over the ice. Fred Smith deserves much praise. He was selected by the group to be student activity leader and did an excellent job. Freddy, a true rebel from the south- land who had never skated before, made such tre- mendous progress that he was thinking he might fore- sake his homeland! There is something exciting about silver blades skimming across the ice. This select group is cer- tainly looking forward to another good old-fashioned winter, if it brings another good skating season. rfnc i ,L ti ,Xi 1 i il . I!

Eighteen boys played in two forty-five minute shifts. This was done in order to give us a chance to play singles more often, and in order to get more help from Mr. Leavitt and Mr. Thomp- son. May 26th was fair and warm, and we were in good shape for our tennis match with Proctor. Six boys rallied around the coaches and formed quite a strong team. We won the match, which was characterized by many long sets, 7 to 2. Those returning hope to have another fine time in the fall, with more match competition if pos- sible. TENNIS Tennis this fall was a ne activity at Cardigan. We we very fortunate to have four ne doubles courts on which to pla Their green ground-slate surfa made tennis possible almost eve clay until the middle of Nove ber. Afterwards we moved in the woods to do work on t various ski trails. We Hnished t new cross country trail, and th helped enlarge the area at t bottom of the ski hill. Then went to the Pinnacle to test t telephones. They did not wo until We cut poles and erected new power line. We also clear out some brush and cut do some trees in order to make t Pinnacle bigger, better, and mo skiable. We owe a lot of credit Mr. Leavitt for doing a fine i in leading and organizing th very successful fall activity.

Campcraft is an activity for all toys who have an interest in the rut-of-doors. The boys are given ertain requirements to pass such s hte, ax, first aid, compass, map, ooking, and knife. They earn itles such as Goofer, Hobo, Guide, and Vagabond. The activ- zy is broken into groups, and a oy may often have a chance to :ad a group. On a trip to I-linman Cabin, fhich belongs to the Dartmouth uting Club. one of the masters 'ked a Goofer to bake a cake in e old wood stove. Apparently e had never before seen one, and uilt the Ere in the oven instead f underneath it! None of us Went bed hungry, and we had much n learning to feel at home in e woods, in spite of times like is. We also went camping at an- Eher Dartmouth cabinlocated at e base of Moose Mountain. For- lnately, by the time we arrived Fred I-Iarris Cabin all of us d seen a wood stove. We were ing to climb the mountain, but e to the number of hunters the vicinity we decided it was t worth the risk. With the help of Mr. Harring- un and Mr. Minnier we learned nd liked a lot about the out-of- -oors this fall. 1 -,...

Tip Top Cabin at the summit, but due to the abundance of snow we were forced to turn back. We ar- rived at the base at approximately 6:45 p.m. We slept well before returning safely to the campus the next day. This spring Campcraft did quite a lot about the campus. Camp- craft constructed fireplaces and cooked the meal for Green and White Day , under the super- vision of Mr. Minnier and Mr. Harrington. The food was sup- plied by Mr. Clancy, our depend- able Cardigan chef. We also helped to repair one of the small wooden bridges go- ing through the woods to the Chapel in the Pines. We all think the supervisers did a very nice job, and We all had fun whether at work or at play. -.9 Front Row: Sharrock, Campbell, Randall, Talbert.

During Forestry's very success- ful spring we cut the apple trees on the waterfront side of Hop- kins Hall, and used the tractor to haul them to the bottom of the hill to be burned. The old apple tree on the site of the new dorm was also removed by our able crew. We also helped clean up the Canaan Street Park on Canaan Street, and following this we took the tennis backboard to the courts behind Cotting Field. The brush near the boathouse was very green and wet but we burned a little of it early in the spring. The plot work has been going very well and there are several new plots near the road between Mr. Burbank's and Mr. Couter- marsh's houses. A few of us helped with the cutting of logs for a cabin to be located on Tug Mountain, rounding out activities with Mr. Brayman this spring. FURESTRY During the fall Forestry h eleven boys. We each had or own plot of land located som where south or west of the atl letic Held on The Point . T plots are half acre lots of lan covered with trees, and are clear and developed by us boys und Mr. Brayman's supervision. So days when we want to work aw from our plot, we help Mr. Bra man and the more experienc foresters with the chain saw an tractor. This year some of Forestry extra jobs have beeng to cle some of the trees at the base c the new ski jump, to remox brush that was cut this summ along the lake shore so that better view might be enioy from Hopkins Hallg to also cle near Clancy's house after it h been enlarged. The burning this brush and the cutting of t new poles for the rope tow co tinued to keep all busy. T tractor and the chain saw were great help in completing t heavy work we undertook th year.

After hiding our time a short while after spring vacation, the ice finally gave way to the de- mands of all Cardigan and we launched our spring season. With a sizable fleet of four Tech Dinghy fiberglass sailboats, six aluminum canoes, six alumi- num rowboats, and a fourteen- foot Cadillac boat complete with twenty-Hve horsepower motor, we were well occupied while waiting for the lake to warm up for swim- ming. Fine winds throughout the spring offered excellent sailboat racing, a very popular pastime. Fred johnson and Bill Smith were our top sailors, having qualified as sailing instructors, and they of- fered to teach the exacting skills to all who were interested.

Campus Improvement, a group of boys led by Mr. Noldt, was organized to do those little things around campus that just never seem to get done. One of C.I.'s chores was to gather together wood for the All Saints' Eve bonfire. Much old wood was found behind Fifield, our remodeled inlirmary, formerly Stevens House. The school has a new lining machine which C.I. used for the first time on our new football field. This we had to do numerous timesg be- fore each game, and after a heavy rain. We also built home and visitor benches for Cotting Field, and painted them green, thereby doing away with the football players' corn- plaint that they had nowhere to sit down. We also spent a large amount of time on Clancy's Mountain in the area of the ski tow. Forestry cut us two large poles which we used to repair the supports for the tow rope. Check- ing the motor, putting up new braceboatds and pulleys, and stringing the tow rope kept us busy a good many afternoons. We also helped clear brush at the base of the hill to make a larger loading area. We often used the woodshop when on many of our errands of mercy , and in the process managed to get it quite well cleaned up and ready for the extensive use it was to get throughout the year. Our last project which we performed as the cold north wind turned thoughts to ski- ing and skating, was piling dirt and transform- ing it into a pitcher's mound on the new baseball diamond. Campus Improvement had a most successful season under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Noldt. CAMPUS I PROVEMEN T We worked, we worked, we worked, Yes, every day we all worked.

II Cardigan Mountain School Sept. 22, l958 - Iune 6, I959 Cardigan Conquers Kearsarge C.M.S., October 16 - Carcligan's Moun- tain Day , although an original holiday last year, was eagerly anticipated by all when we were settled back at school, bags unpacked, pencils poised. After starting the first class, and hearing the surprise announcement, we all left in busses, cars, and the school truck, to climb a moun- tainl INe all were divided into groups at the base of the mountain, Kearsarge, and then we climbed using the various well-marked trails. The Power Line Trail and jacob's Ladder seemed to be the most popular and most of the climbing parties ascended one and descended the other. The foliage was in full color, the temperature in the 70's at the base, and spirits remained high throughout the sunny day, especially after the tasty food prepared by Mr. Harrington, Mr. Min- nier, and the Campcraft boys at the base camp. MUSIC APPRECIATION WINS MANY FANS C.M.S., '58-'59 - As a cub reporter for the Blaze I had been assigned to cover a regular, but still special event called Music Appreciation. Never one to enjoy that longhair music I wasn't too excited about missing study hall just to hear violins and oboes. Hurrying, QI had been warned not to be latej, I arrived just at seven to find a sizable pile of shoes outside the door of the faculty lounge. Following this quaint custom I left mine, entered, and made myself comfortable on the nice soft rug. The music had begun and seemed to be in a lighter vein than I had expected. People were sprawled comfortably about, some reading, some studying. A fire crackled in the Hreplace. The room glowed with the soft lighting and the re- flection of the fire. Except for the music and a few snaps from the fire the room was remarkably quiet. I enjoyed myself! Interviewing Carl Panacci, Dean I-Iart, and Mr. Wakely I found that every Thursday, 7:00 to 7:30, a variety of music including classics, jazz, and musical com- edy is presented to all interested visitors. Cardigan Talent Night Huge Success C.M.S., December 6 - On December 6, Cardigan had its first Talent Night of the year. Talent Night was something new to the boys at Cardigan. Each Hoot presented an individual show. The first floor of Brewster showed their talent by doing a skit, Cardigan After Lights Out . This went over with a real bang! Second floor Brewster did Around the lfVorld in 80 Days . Their show went over very wellg it followed the same idea as the movie with settings in different countries. Clark Morgan got together and pre- sented La Sewer de Paris a bar scene in Paris with an Alfred Hitchcock mood. This was very comical because of one boy dressing up to be a dance hall girl, and the villain, Louie, being a small boy in red knee socks and red bow tie. First floor Hinman put on a shadow operation. This was extremely humorous because of the surgical tools used. Ham- mers, saws, drills, and chains were used during the operation. The boys stretched a sheet in front of the stage and had flood lights in the rear of the stage thus giving perfect shadow pictures for the audience. Last but not least second floor Hinman also put on Cardigan after Lights Out , which was very explosive to say the least. The boys set up a boy's room, complete with bed on the stage. The evening was a success, being packed with entertainment and many many laughs. Fall Dance A Rock'n Success C.M.S., November 8 - Cardigan held its Fall Dance today and from the reaction of dancers and guests everyone had an enjoyable evening. One of the things that made the dance a success was the fine decorating done by Biff Willianls, Bob Bolton, and their tal- ented helpers. Another asset which added to the dance was the delicious refresh- ments prepared by Mrs. Clancy and served by jim Hinman and his crew. The line records which were played over the new speaking system were collected and arranged by Dave Bergeson and Doug Abercrombie. Another of the highlights of the dance was a Rock and Roll contest won by Bob Bolton and Sherry Dice. An elimina- tion dance was completed by john Chris- ty and his partner. The dance committee appreciated the co-operation from everyone, especially Mr. Noldt, the master of ceremonies and student adviser. Letters from the girls let us know that they had just as much fun as we did. FALL AWARDS BANQUET C.M.S., December 12 -- Three of Cardi- gan's most pleasant evenings are the awards banquets, when the students are rewarded for excellence outside the class- room. This, the first of the series, was a fitting conclusion to a very successful fall season. Clancy's dinner was delicious with steak and ice cream highlighting the menu. The student activity leader, Tom Hamilton, introduced boys from each activity who spoke informally about their activity. The hall was very well decorated with hurricane lamps and candles on all the tables. The good natured complaint that, I can't see well enough to find my steak , didn't seem to keep many from doing well enough to return for seconds. After the meal we all gathered in the auditorium for short orations by the activity leaders, special awards to stu- dents, music by the band, and songs by everybody. SKI HOLIDAY North Conway, March 3 - The day dawned bright and sunny and all of Cardigan was off to an early start. Our destination was known only to a few and many offered guesses as to where we would ski that day. A couple of wrong turns by the bus driver confused us even more and made us all wonder if the bus driver had been briefed well enoughl We arrived at Mount Cranmore in North Conway, New Hampshire shortly after 10 a.m. and the wonderful holiday began. Temperatures in the high sixties made shirt sleeve skiing possible. The corn snow was plentiful and the slopes were not crowded on a weekday. The Skimobile provided a pleasant ride to a number of disembarking points near the summit. After a lunch packed by Clancy, and a few minutes rest we were back on the hickories, careful not to waste the truly remarkable skiing. After we left the slopes and boarded the buses for home, our muscles told us we had had enough skiing for one day. That evening we went to bed with tired bodies, and a host of pleasant memories. The Snow Flaker Highlight of Winter Social Season C.M.S., February 7 - Cardigan had its annual winter dance, this year named the Snow Flaker, with more ice than snow on the landscape. The dance was preceded by skating to music on the ice at the lake, and a buffet dinner in the dining room with the girls joining the boys at each table. This was a good method of breaking the ice, fice of a different sortj, with the girls. Before the dance, the girls, students, and faculty gathered in the faculty lounge to get still better acquainted. When the girls had had time to powder their noses we all mi- grated to the auditorium, where the dec- oration committee had really outdone themselves. Tables bordered the dance floor, crepe paper hung in abundance from the walls and ceiling, and the cur- tain on the stage was covered with many giant sized snowflakes. Refreshments of punch and cakes were served by the committee which seemed to have many volunteers. Prizes were given to the winners of special dance contests. Steve Davidson and his guitar provided some entertainment during in- termission. The dance ended at I0 o'clock and we escorted the girls to cars for their trip home. Everyone was indebted to Bill Seely and his dance committee for organizing such an outstanding evening. Second Talent Night C.M.S., March 6 --Remembering th fun and entertainment enjoyed by aud ence and actors alike at our fall Talen Night, a second one was scheduled fo the spring. It was an even bigger succes we all decided. The top floor of Brewster presente a skit called Romeo and Juliet . took place on a southern plantation an all of the players were made-up as N groes. We all agreed Kit Sigman's acce could only have been the product of co centrated coaching! Upstairs in Brewster the students pol trayed a scene in A Little Red Scho House . Strange happenings and th varied character of the teacher and h' students kept the entertainment movin Clark-Morgan presented Tom Sa yer , a one act play in four scenes, whic was another crowd pleaser. A picture the First scene is shown below. Bill Barker presented a very humoro down East monologue for second flo Hinman. The stories he told must ha been good ones for they have often bee repeated since the performance. At Cardigan we have talent we haven even used yet, so we seniors hope th l ,.1,..-t. v.r:...l.. ....,.Alr!A,. ...Ill L..-l ,-ft.-.4-Iv--Us Seniors Enjoy Ski Holiday LYME, N. H., February 28 - On day, February 28, all the seniors who n skiing equipment went to The Da mouth Skiway. We left Canaan at 8: and arrived on the slopes about 9: Mr. Thompson, the senior class advis got us the group rate, and we start up the slopes. The ski conditions were very go with just a little ice left from an earli thaw. We went up the Poma-lift a skied all of the five trails. It was surely a fine day, the visibil was good, and everyone had a wond ful time. The senior class hopes t this outing can be enjoyed by classes come, and that they are lucky enough End the spring skiing as ideal as class of '59 did. Green 81 White Day '59 C.M.S., May I8-This year Cardigan had its hrs! Green and Wliite Dayg that is, a day devoted to competition between the two intramural teams of Cardigan. The teams are named Green and White after our school colors. Monday was the chosen day for the competition. What a day!! The sky was adorned with a brilliant sun and majestic, billowy clouds, all swimming in an ocean of blue. This sky, mixed with the green of the trees, the sparkling blue of the lake, and in the background Mt. Cardi- gan rising in all its fabulous splendor, made a scene lit for the palace of God!! VVC had breakfast and inspection at the regular times and when the hell rang for classes we all started Ollt knowing that we would only have 13 minute classes that morning. At 10:30 a.m. the hrst race startedg the second began at ll:l0 a.m. These races were relays, and were run on a five-mile course: from the gate to Deer- view fa distance of 2K, mi.j and back again. The course for each race was divided into ten parts, each approxi- mately mile in length. Two boys from each team were placed at each post. The track was quite uneven, as there were several hills and curves in the course. Almost every boy in school took part. Ready-set-go . . . The hrst four run- ners started . . . and considerably later, four very tired lads crossed the finish line. The next race began innnediately and about 20 minutes later the last group came in. The news spread like wildfire . . . Green had won!! The finish places for the first race had been . . . Green-White- Green: for the second race they were Green-Green-White. The final score for the race - Green 30. White 10. We had lunch at 12:00 and at 1:30 the next activities started. The tennis competition was divided into two parts: the hrst at 1:30, which lasted till 2:30g the second started at 2:30 and lasted to 3:30. Each set was counted as a point. Each pair of contestants played for an hour at the end of which they would total up the number of sets won and submit the score to the official in charge. At the end of G8cW Day the score was announced for tennis: White 12 - Green 7. From there on Green took all the com- petitions: softball, riflery, sailing, canoe- ing and rowboatingg with the exception of the Tug-of-VVar which the White won 2-0. After the T ug-of-War there was a Shoe Scramble, and Rolling Race. The prizes for these competitions were a six-pack of pop for first place, a cake for second, and a box of doughnuts for third. Willett Cobb won the Rolling Race and Dodd Shay won the Shoe Scramble. At 5:00 p.m. everyone started over to the ski slope for a cookout. The camp- craft group did a wonderful job of han- dling it and we owe them the credit for such a success. The meal consisted of hot-dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, and chocolate milk, with ice cream rolls for dessert. After the cookout the boys walked back to the athletic field and sat in a semi- circle. Mrs. Minnier then proceeded to lead the boys in a couple of songs. We sang such old favorites as I've Been Workin' On The Railroad , Swing Lo' Sweet Chariot , and Alouette . VVhen the song-fest was over the boys and adults walked over to the new soft- ball diamond where they started a stu- dent-faculty softball game. The faculty had a rally in the first inning and it seemed that it would be a slaughter. The students, however, managed to pick up several runs and in the last inning the score was faculty ll - students 9. The boys had a good rally and when the final out was made the score was faculty ll - students l6. From eight to eight-thirty we had time to take showers, and from eight-thirty to nine we had a quiet time. At nine we had lights-out. We all had a wonderful time on Green and White Day and I hope it will become a tradition here at C.M.S. Oh yes, the final score: Green 92 - - 1 i ALUMNI WEEKEND C.M.S., May 2-3 - Numerous planned events welcomed back about a dozen alumni this year. There had been a num- ber of changes made since they had left, needless to say. On Saturday a varsity baseball game, roast beef dinner from Clancy's kitchen, coffee with the faculty, and an alumni meeting at the Headmaster's House kept everyone busy. As an extra added attrac- tion during the baseball game the alums even pitched in to extinguish a grass Hre in a field across from the North Church. Other events of the weekend included a tour of Hopkins Hall and other recent developments, a visit to Mr. Hinman's home on Canaan Street, Alumni baseball game fquestionable score about 13 to 12 with us students winningj, tennis, boat- ing, and general loafing in the pleasant sunshine. Many alumni in prep school and col- lege were unable to attend because of their current school commitments. As we all had a fine weekend we hope even White 52! more old grads will return next year. 1 o o If s Movie Time! C.M.S., '58-'59 - Arriving each Saturday over an empty bottle, or trips over the night before 7:30, the movie line is enormous. It looks like some boys are going to spend a couple of days, as their arms are loaded with soda pop and goodies. Some continually try to worm their way forward in the line, or by many various methods, to sneak in without paying their shiny dimes. The phit of soft drinks being opened can be heard as the movie begins along with the rustle of papers containing well guarded things to eat. It seems always to be the case that as soon as the movie gets to an interesting spot someone tips projector cord to leave the screen in darkness. Intermission brings the scuffle of many feet hurrying toward the coke machine for refills, trying to be back before the reels are changed. After the movie ends almost everyone wanders toward the dormitories. A few enterprising individuals remain, with their empty pillow cases to collect the empties that have been left behind. This is rumored to be a very profitable business. And then of course there is the movie! THE CURPORA TION CHARLES E. COTTING Pres. Lee Higginson C orp. RALPH E.
