PECIAL EVENTS VOL. V Cardigan Mountain School Sept., I96I - June, I962 MOUNTAIN DAY On tl1e 17th of October, a group of the more 'fl1earty souls on campus clambered into two buses and set off for a day at Lafayette. As we neared Franconia and the mountains came into view, spirits of many quickly fell. The mountains were all draped in mantles of glistening white. The first thing that everyone just had to do was to throw the hrst snowball. As soon as groups were assembled and food was picked up, we set off for the summit. The Greenleaf trail was our chosen path. We hadn't gone very far before slippery ice began to make climbing a little more difficult, but with conquest in our eyes we fought on! By the time we reached the hut about three quarters of the way up, the spirit had died in many of us, for at least the feelings in our feet haclj. There we ate our lunch and rested for a little while. After this brief rest period, the still more hearty souls on campus proceeded to go all the way and conquer the tower- ing, snow-covered giant. At the top the wind was very strong and the snow in places was three feet deep. Needless to say, the sight of all that snow quickly dampened our spirits and we came down. From the hut we picked our way down the Bridle Path which must have been just a washed out gully. Nevertheless we picked our way down and before long were at the highway. We climbed into tl1e buses once more and headed home. No doubt everyone in the bus had a lot to say, but no one had the energy left to say it.
