Iln Mrmnriam ROBERT C. HOPKINS The Senior Class dedicates this page to the memory of Robert C. Hopkins whose death on January 30, 1962, deprived Cardigan of one of its first and most effective supporters. An original member of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Hopkins faithfully attended its meetings and gave freely of his wise counsel. A versatile composer, Mr. Hopkins is the author of the history of Cardigan's early days and shortly before his death Wrote the words and music for a Cardigan Hymn. To Cardigan our favored school As Cardigan is mirrored in By nature's gifts henign- Our crystal lake so clear- We raise in song our thanlefulness May we through life reflect thy truths For beauty which is thine: And memories as dear: For winter's snowy Of sztmmer's greenf For after- glow Fall's colors hrightg When day fades into dreams Of glimmering stars at night. Of goals toward which we all will strive God give us strength to carry on To keep thy faiths alivef Through storm or weather fair To keep thy faith in us alive, The peace, vouchsafed hy living here, Together we will strive. For all the world to share.

AND THEN THERE WAS STINSON Tuesday, October 17, a party of less hearty souls started to climb Mt. Stinson in Rumney. The group was divided into Hve smaller parties, each headed by a master. Near the summit we ran into light snow. At the top there was a mag- nificent view of snow-covered lvloosilauke, Lafayette and NNashingtong also nmnerous lakes such as Newfound and Winnepe- sauke-e. For lunch there was an :nnple supply of ham spread and jam, little cakes, oranges and chocolate bars. All in all, the trip was a big success. MURDER IN WAX The newly formed Cardigan Dramatic Club under the excellent direction of Mr. Ackley, presented an eerie perform- ance of lvlurder In Mfax. lt was a story told by an ex-reporter of the Valley News to an unbelieving reporter on the Cardi- gan Chronicle Stalf. As the scene opened another reporter was on stageg he too was on the Valley News a11d wanted a little extra money and publicity for himself and his paper. I--le decided to spend a night in a VVax Museum in London. As soon as the curator showed this reporter, Hewson, around, he left leaving him alone in the presence of several wax statues. As I-lewson was writing notes on the frightening atmosphere, one of the statues dropped his knife or so I-lewson thought. Soon the statue of Dr. Bourdette started moving and then he stepped down fI'O111 his pedestal. Now I-Iewson was wonder- ing but not for long because Dr. Bour- dette had hypnotized him. Too bad for I-lewson because Bourdette was really a day healer and a night killer. Good- bye Mr. Hewson. In the last scene Dr. Bourdette stepped forward and hypnotized our ex-reporter, Ed Bradbury. Good-bye, lid. The play came to an end and, of course, the audi- ence was howling and yelling for more. SPRING DANCE On Saturday, May 12, Cardigan held its Spring Dance. The auditorimn was decorated as if it were an underwater scene, with the main feature being a big, black octopus which greeted you when you entered. There were about seventy boys and girls attending, and most agreed it was the best dance of the year. David Mann was the announcer in place of joe I-Iallowell, who did a good job of organizing the dance, but was un- able to come because he was sick. SKI HOLIDAY On February 20th the school had its annual Ski I-loliday. This year we went to Mad River Glen where the visibility was limited and skiing was between snow flakes. XA'e made good use of their facili- ties which included a single and double chair lift, a T-bar, and a hrst aid center for our five casualties. At this place, many of us encountered something new, skiing in deep powder. This along with rugged trails accounted for our difficulties. But often experience is helpful when it comes early. .., - MR. BOTTOM The scene is a boys' room in Dormitory C Albright Naval Academy. The Cast in order of appearance are as follows: Wform - the cadet who is teased by all because he is not very athletic or strong, played by David Gallagher. Ted - the cleverest cadet of all. I-le is always Ending scientihc ways of getting the gang into plenty of trouble, played by Thomas Viviano. Dull' -- the distinguished figure on whom demerits are piling and who sees to it that he is always in the middle of things, played by Bill Russell. Pete, played by Larry Reed, is the best football player Albright Academy ever had, but doesn't have the brains to pass a biology test. Latimore, played by jack Stimpson, is a Senior Cadet who's hated by the gang because of his bossy character. Mac, who claims he has talent in foot- ball, is resented by the gang because of his attitude toward Pete - played by Robert Monsted. Pixie, played by Robert Rosselli, is a good friend of the gang, and tries to help them out of different situations. johnson, assistant senior cadet, loves to see all Hve hackers work - played by Peter Ramus. Captain Harris, Comman- dant of Albright, an austere commandant who has a charming daughter, Lilly. All this talent, combined with the superior writing ability of Mr. Ackley, made Mi: Bottom the hit of the season. Congratulations to the cast, crew and director. MR. MUGGSY TO YOU Cardigan's theatrical club produced an- other hit, lt Happened ln Brooklyn. Murder In Wax was just a starter but Muggsy was the real thing. Muggsy con- tained many of the top actors of Cardigan. No person was overlooked in the draft- ing of the play, and the boys most ca- pable of hlling the parts were chosen. Muggsy took approximately two months to get in working order. This is only true of the time spent here at Cardigan. Mr. Ackley, our all-American producer, nmst have spent about a month and a half writing the script and three weeks rewriting it for Cardigan. All this time added together produced one of the most enjoyable single events here at Car- digan this year. FALL DANCE On Saturday evening November ll, fair damsels from Canaan, Lebanon, and Han- over headed for Cardigan's fall dance. By 8:00 there were 35 boys in the I-linman Auditorium with about the same number of girls. The auditorium was decorated by a very able dance committee with the help of Mrs. Baldwin. Everyone seemed to be enjoying them- selves. and by 9:15 we were ready for refreshments. Sandwiches and cold drinks were served, and soon all were back on the dance floor using their second wind. lt was a common sight to see one of the faculty members waltzing up and down the floor. At I0:30, all good-byes were said, and the girls headed home.A lt was a very enjoyable evening for everyone. THE WINTER DANCE The X'Vinter Dance of '62 under the direction of Bill Russell and his boys was one of the best. Mrs. Baldwin, who is the head of Arts and Crafts, helped im- mensely with the decorations. The mai11 idea was borrowed from the Peppermint Lounge in New York City with Twist- ing At Cardigan and The Cardigan Lounge . joining in the fun were sev- eral faculty members who did the twist, To add to the fun was our very distin- guished photographer, Mike Sternberg, who while trying to ht the twisters into his focus knocked over a peppermint stick. Mfith no other accidents, the dance ended with everyone enjoying themselves.
