PECIAL EVENTS VOL. 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.
