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.

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

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.
