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!
