I think that I can truthfully say that we had a pretty good season. 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. Caps off to Mr. Noldt! jj 915 Q49 v.-, . rf

1 SKI TE M l rnul Roux' Ohta, Mascitis, Davenport, Hinman, Lincoln, Mr. Leavitt. fsrllik Roux' Barker XV. lCaptainl, Cobb, Freeman, Hamilton, Barker j. 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,

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.
