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. Our thanks to Mr. Lary, Mr. Linn, and Mr. Wood for a highly successful waterfront season.

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. Mr. Brayman and his fo esters have done much they C be proud of this fall. Front Raw: Randall, Campbell, Franchot, Waterman, Cheney, Pearce, McClellan.

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.
