show their appreciation for his devoted endeavors to Cardigan during the last five years. He has given his time and energy unselfishly to the many facets of the school’s life. His wholehearted interest will always be remembered by everyone.
The class of I960, which graduates this year, is the first one to have spent all four years on Cardigan’s new campus. These boys have played a large part in shaping the present day traditions of the school. That they have done their jobs well is reflected in no small measure by this book.

At the scene of a good laugh there is a good prospect that Ed is there, laughing hard. One of Ed’s favorite pastimes is argu ing, (in a scholarly fashion, of course) with Mr. Leavitt. He rules his dorm with an iron hand, but is always fair and ready to have a good time.

Fred became known this year as one of Cardigan’s coat and tie set. Fred is small, but he is fast and packs enough of a wallop to handle himself among his larger classmates. He likes to make and fly model airplanes. At meals Fred eats and eats, but never seems to sprout. He is often doing experiments in the field of science and has become an ex pert on the eccentricities and personal prob lems of the white mouse!

"N ed” "K iw i” Canterbury School ’61 Glee Club 7, Tennis 8 and 9, Skiing 7, 8 and 9, Waterfront 7 and 8, Ski Improve ment 7. Ned comes to Cardigan from South Had ley Falls, Massachusetts, which he feels classifies as civilization. Kiwi, the shoe polish kid of Cardigan, may often be found reading in his spare time. He was always w illing to help out and was an industrious worker.

"T om ” Thomas More Sch o o l’61 Airplane Club 8, Forestry 8 and 9, Skiing 8 and 9, Campcraft 8, Waterfront 9. Tom is an enthusiastic fisherman. He was often seen wandering around with a fishing pole ("ro d ” ) in his hand. He often got up early in the morning to go fishing before the rest of the campus was awake. Tom has been on forestry a number of times while he has been at Cardigan. He thoroughly en joys the lore of the out-of-doors.

If you want to find Charlie, there are two or three places on campus where he is apt to be found, in the showers, stretched upon his bed, or working in the shop. He has the HiFi bug and might also be found listening to Shelly Berman or the Dukes of Dixieland or using some of his other "sounds” for theme music to accompany a bull session.

When the young ladies appear, Tom is undoubtedly nearby and as we would say, "Playing the role.” He is usually dressed in the latest fashion, and is a respected student leader and one of our best all around ath letes. The Host Committee ran very well under his able direction this year. A n th o n y M c A llis te r H a rris

If you were ever in need of an idea, or stumped about how to do something, Tony was high on your list of people to go to see. He likes photography and reads a great deal, especially science fiction. He is one of the reasons why the Chronicle met its dead lines. He is a dependable, hard worker. He is well traveled and often has a group in his room swapping stories or listening to his joke record.

One of the senior class’s most respected members, Sandy had his finger in many pies his final year at Cardigan. He is modest and close mouthed enough, however, so that you would never find out much about his busy role by asking him. Gas is loaded with in formation about racing boats and when not busy with something else might be found sailing one of Cardigan’s tamer Tech Dinghies. J

"Jim ” "Slim ’ Proctor Academy ’61 Football 8 and 9, Baseball 8 and 9, Ski Team 8, Hockey 9, Clark-Morgan Floor Leader 9, Glee Club 9, Quartet 9. Jim is Cardigan’s muscleman. Whenever in search of Jim there were two logical places to look the spring of his senior year. One, on his way to conferences, or outside having a game of catch or slugging out flies. During the spring he was always at home in his sawed-off dungaree shorts and sleeve less sweatshirt. Going to give football an other whirl next year, Jim.^

"T om ” "H oppy” Lawrence Academy ’61 W aterfront 8 and 9, Campcraft 8, Skiing 8 and 9, Riflery 8 and 9. Tom reached stardom this year playing the part of Simon Seed in the Clark-Morgan Minstrel. He always wears a smile and has a new joke to tell. In algebra class you could usually find him debating a point with the teacher, and although he usually lost, this did not wipe away his infectious smile. One of our smaller seniors, Tom worked hard to make the varsity baseball squad this year, and has done a good job showing that size can be over-emphasized.

Chip is one of the most confirmed Yankee politicians on campus. In the three years he has been a day student, although you won’t hear him admit it within earshot of his teachers, he has never taken a book home. He is an avid reader, and also a great be liever in the great Cardigan bull session.

If you hear the cracking of a tree and the mighty call of timber, you know it’s George playing the part of lumberjack with his double bitted ax. Perhaps autos are an even greater love, and he has many tales about his racing exploits away from Cardigan. George is also one of our more accomplished guitarists, but he has to perfect his move ment before he can compare with Elvis.

It was a rarity to find John drifting about campus without his coat and tie. During activities, however, his dress was just as identifying. He then wore a leather jacket and engineer boots when they were any where near in season. John’s room always had a good supply of food on hand. That’s why he worked so hard to get room study!

If you want to be brought up to date on a recent happening, world, national, or camp us, just drop in on Nick and listen and learn why he is known as the most well informed man about campus. He is also one of Cardi gan’s handymen and can often be found do ing a favor for someone in the woodshop or in the basement of Brewster.

When one enters Tim ’s room he is most of the time met with the sound of jazz, prob ably being played just a little too loud. Dur ing his senior year he might be found sit ting at his desk slaving over algebra, or thumping a baseball into his glove and muttering about the weather outside. By the way, if you should ask to have him turn the volume of his sounds down, he’d probably say, "Man, stereo has to be loud.”

Whenever we heard the drone of a high pitched engine on campus, we could guess that N ick was flying one of his prize models, or watching someone else pursue the pas time. Although some of his tales seem a bit tall and far fetched, they make good listen ing and he usually rounds up an audience.

BREWSTER HALL
As you go through the gate at Cardigan Mountain School you obviously will notice the magnificent struc ture of Brewster Hail, with its gorgeous green lawns and the mellow ivy clinging to the weathered brick. Brewster Hall is blessed with some of the more promi nent residents at Cardigan. Brewster is graced with one of the more luxurious lounges situated in its basement. It is also fortunate to have a kitchen available to the Brewster student body. Some of the most famous sayings around the dorm which might be heard at different times throughout the day were, "Who was moving furniture around at 6 o’clock this morning.?” ; "My gosh, I forgot to send out my laundry!” ; "Whose — alarm clock went off at 4:30 this morning.?” Other repeated quips were, "Whaddia mean the one minute bell for lights out.” ; "Mr. W. is inspecting this Sunday, I’ll never pass.” , or every Monday night the remark, "O.K. everyone quiet. Dorm meeting come to order.”

Certainly Clark Morgan is the best dorm. Anyone knows that. Of course the selected few that get into Clark Morgan feel lucky to be a part of this great dorm. All this of course is common knowledge. One of the reasons that it is the best dorm is that it has the best location. It has an ideal view from all points of the compass. To the West there is the quaint church steeple and the hills along the Connecticut V al ley. To the South we view the Pinnacle and Cotting

Athletic Field. To the East is Mount Cardigan and to the North is the front lawn and entrance to school, where much of the evening activity takes place. We selected individuals that live in Clark Morgan do not have to get dressed and go outside every morn ing when the temperature is down around zero, in order to get our breakfast. Clark Morgan has some top notch faculty members and student leaders. Mr. and Mrs. Linn, being the heads of the dorms are tops. We also have the Larys who do just as good a job keeping C. M. the outstanding dorm on campus. These two faculty families also have some of the best student leaders. Sandy Harris was our dorm leader who with Jim Hinman and Peter Weeks han dled the second floor, and Doc Rubert handled the third floor all by himself. C. M. has a nice new common room with new car peting and furniture. This common living room serves more than one purpose. It is not just a place to play games such as chess, checkers, or cards; or read the Post magazines that the dorm gets every week. It also is a place where dorm meetings are held every Monday night. Every other Monday the boys stay after the meet ing to enjoy a dorm party which is planned by a ro tating refreshment committee. The Linns each term give a special party to the boys who go up in every subject in one term. The boys get to eat fried chicken with "fixins” and apple pie for dessert. To put it in a nutshell, the boys of Clark Morgan feel they have by far the best dormitory on campus.

Parties, good leaders, good kids, Hinman has all these and more. Yes, I guess Hinman is just about tops at Cardigan. Look at these guys from other dorms, always coming over to Hin man. Yeah, they’re just jealous.” "I sure envy the boys that live in Hinman next year. There’s going to be the common room then. Yeah, Hinman’s just too good I guess, what with Mr. Thompson using his ability as head boss and Ed Ball as dorm leader.” "Yes, you can always tell a Hinman boy when you see one, they’re always smiling and clean looking.” "Mrs. Minnier and Mrs. Thompson are always throwing good floor parties for us. Banana splits and the like.” "W ell, I ’m going home now. I ’ll see you next year in the best dorm.”

Cardigan’s football team worked hard to produce a three won, three lost season this year. With six new men in the starting lineup and the entire starting backfield having been graduated in ’59, Coach Thompson had a big job in squaring away a team. We returned to school later than many of our op ponents, but the season started quickly as soon as we arrived. Uniforms were passed out, and calisthenics, tackling, blocking, and body contact soon followed. Then with sore unused muscles we began to learn our plays, practice dry runs, and scrimmage. Before our first game Sandy Harris and Ed Ball were elected co captains by the squad. Our first game was with Proctor and Jim Hinman’s passing and Willet Cobb’s receiving led us to our first victory behind some solid teamwork and defensive play. The score was 14-6. The only injury of the season came in this game. Tony Harris broke a bone in his leg and was out for the season. He walked from the field, however, and even climbed Mount Black before it bothered him enough to have an x-ray. He was lucky and didn’t need a cast.
We lost our next two games to V. A. and Hanover, but in both games only fourteen points were scored against us. At Vermont Cobb blocked a kick and Ed Ball, a tackle, grabbed the ball still in the air and scored. The scores of these games were 8-6 and 6-0 respectively. In Cardigan’s first home game against an undefeated, untied Claremont team we won 14-8. The starting backfield of Hinman, Rafferty, Jenks, and Irwin worked well with ends Cobb and Suitor to spark our offense. Our final loss was our last away game at Newport on a messy field. One of their scores came on a blocked punt and the game was closer than the 14-0 score might suggest. We won our final game at home to remain unde feated on Cotting Field. New Hampton was our op ponent and the score at the end of the game was 20-8. The boys in the offensive and defensive units that made this very respectable season possible included, in addi tion to those mentioned above, Wurster, Hamilton, deMare, Cheney, Waterman, H. Miller, Elliot, and Tony Harris.

The hockey team, coached this year by Mr. Noldt and Mr. Wexler, held its first meeting on November 30th. There was a rather small turn out, but we had a number of boys with experience and what appeared to be a strong team. Early in the season, when the ice was at its best, the hockey boards were lugged into place. The rink was readied and maintained by our able managers Lew Knudson, and John Miller. Practice sessions went well. Jenks, Irwin, and Weeks worked well together, and some rousing games within our ranks were held throughout the season. Goalies dur ing these sessions were Sandy Harris, and Jim or Mike White. Sandy Harris was elected team captain at the beginning of the season, and led us against our first opponent, Proctor Academy. We journeyed to their home ground on January 23rd. Jenks scored the first goal unassisted. Proctor retaliated by slamming home their first goal in the next period. Near the end of the third period they scored again to win the very close, hard fought contest.
Mr.
Our next two games were with Holderness School, the first being played on our ice. They scored first, but Peter W ojtul tied the score in the first period. Follow ing this, two goals by Jenks and one each by Peter Weeks and Jim Hinman put the game "on ice” figura tively. The return contest with the Holderness team was much closer. Tom Comey scored his first goal of the season, and close on his heels P. Weeks slammed another home. Dave Irwin’s spectacular playing helped us to win by a score of 2-1. Following these games the snows descended fast and furious. D rifting snow on the lake made it difficult to keep the ice clear, and we shoveled snow furiously so that we might return to practice. Because of this storm and others that followed it before we could clear the ice, the final three games of the season had to be cancelled. Two were to have been with Vermont Academy. The other was our home game with Proctor. Although this was a disappointment to us all, we were all proud of the record the weather let us amass.

Winter was slow in coming this year, so naturally the Ski Team got off to a slow start. We didn’t have long to practice, but hard work and Mr. Leavitt’s fine coaching helped to make up for it. We were weak in cross-country this season, but strong in jumping and the Alpine events, downhill and slalom. The BEST ALL-ROUND SKIER award went to Tom Hamilton for the second consecutive year. He had stiff competition, however, from four of twelve other boys on the team. Tom was the I960 team captain, and Bruce Fenn was elected by the team to take over at the helm next year. New additions to the slalom and downhill courses
at the Pinnacle aroused added interest from team mem bers and those who hope to join them another year. The results of our six meets are as follows: Date-Location Jan. 16, (A ) Feb. 3, (A ) Feb. 6, (A ) Feb. 10, (H ) Feb. 13, (A ) Feb. 24, (H ) (H ) Feb. 27, Mar. 2, (H ) Mar. 7, (H )

A relatively green and inexperienced Cardigan team took the field at Woodstock Country School late in April for the first game of the ’60 season. Although there was a sprinkling of veterans, the whole squad was still unkinking after three weeks of practice in terrupted pretty much by rain and wet fields. Woodstock put up a good fight, but Jim Hinman’s blooming bat, which drove in six runs, was the telling story in an early season score of 15 to 8 in favor of the Green and White. Proctor Academy came to Cardigan on Alumni week end. Before a fine crowd we managed to squeak by Proctor 4 to 3. It was some good fielding on the part
of Tim Winship and Jack O’Connor that got us out of some tight situations. On the following Saturday we entertained Kimball Union Academy on Cotting Field. In a game that was slowed up by a succession of bases on balls, our slightly better hitting, sparked by newcomer Bruce Fenn and veteran Dave Irwin, proved to be the margin in a 12 to 8 victory. It was a bad day at Black Rock when we traveled to Holderness. We were shooting for four straight vic tories. The Holderness players with their daring base running and well-executed bunting, threw us off com pletely. Even with Co-captain Duncan Jenks having a perfect day at the plate we could not stem the Holder ness attack and they went on to win 12-4, and with this game went our thoughts of an undefeated season. Two victories in rapid succession brought our season to a close. These two games proved to be the most thrilling of an abbreviated schedule of six games. Behind the superlative one-hit pitching of Gib Suitor and some excellent defensive play on the part of Mike White and Peter Weeks the Cardigan squad notched its fourth victory 5 to 1. Timely hitting by Co-captain Ed Ball and Jim Hin man’s ten strike-out pitching, were the highlights of the final game played at Kimball Union Academy. This game we really pulled out of the fire with a spinetingling 7th inning rally that netted us a 7 to 6 win. All good things must come to a close. We played the Faculty in a softball game on Green and White day and experience proved the victor over youth as the Faculty won 12 to 6.

Recreational Skiing got off to an enthusiastic start this year, even though the snow was slow in coming. Every year Recreational Skiing offers a beginner a wonderful chance to learn how to ski, offers the bud足 ding novice an opportunity to continue, and offers all the chance to just plain ski. There are five groups of skills. When a student masters a group he proceeds to the next class. E group is beginners, and the A group contains the most advanced skiers who can, when they finish the program, work with other students as junior instructors. This year for the first time badges were given to all skiers in C class and above, each time they advanced to a more skillful grouping. These were awarded in the dining room and could be sewed on ski parkas.

They seemed to help the competitive spirit between the classes. There were two Green and White ski meets this winter. The Green team won the first of the two en足 counters and the White team took the final encounter. The teams were closely matched and the competition, which was among different skill groups, was well liked and a large success. Again this year the ski holiday highlighted the winter season and this is described in the Special Events section. Whether bouncing through high drifts or walking on grass the skiers thoroughly enjoyed themselves this winter.
SKATING T h e sm all grou p Skating had this year had a great deal of enjoyable skating. T h ere w as quite a bit of snow this w in ter and m any a m om ent w as spent shoveling snow from the ice. H ow ever, the good skating m ade up for any back breaking labor. A lthough M r. Braym an seldom dons a p air of skates he did a w onderful job h elping us shovel snow!

CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT
Five hardw orking boys, under the supervision of Mr. N oldt, undertook Cam pus Im provem ent this fall. W hat does C am pus Im provem ent do? W ell . . . some odd jobs, some of them real good ones. A few of these jobs w ere setting up the goal posts for the football season, lining the football field, and putting up the ski tow rope and pullies. T h is year the shop attic had to be cleaned so C. I., as the activity is called, clim bed to the attic. Everything classified as junk w as dropped through the trap door, onto the floor below . A fter this fun, the less spectacular job of pilin g it outside to be carted away was started. Lots of w ork and lots of fun m ade the activity periods this fall enjoyable ones.

Tennis, a grow in g sport at Cardigan, w as very well organized this fall. T h ir teen boys were out for the activity. W hen some of us began to play we knew nothing about the gam e, but after the season was over we knew many a trick, both in backcourt and forecourt, to make our play m ore successful. Mr. W akely had a few of the boys that had some know ledge of the gam e, help the "first tim ers” . Early in the fall it was quite warm, but it got quite nippy as the weeks passed. W hen tennis became difficult late in N ovem ber, we joined forces at the Pinnacle to w ork on the new ski slope. W e had a lot of fun on the courts, and m any of us waited our turn to challenge Mr. W akely to a set. As his gam e im proved as fast as ours, they were really tough. M any thanks, Mr. W akely, for the fine job you did supervising the grow ing sport of tennis.

Tennis this sprin g was very successful. A fter vacation the courts cleared quickly and the boys began playing. As the season progressed Mr. T h om p son chose the best players to play against Proctor in our two matches. Although C ardigan lost both matches the score was relatively close in both of them.

Fall C am pcraft started out with a g ro u p of enthusiastic boys. Bob W eber w as chosen student m anager, and proved him self capable many times. O ur able faculty leaders w ere Mr. H ulbert and Mr. M innier. C am pcraft is an activity that a boy can follow throughout life, as its purpose is to teach the safety precautions necessary at all times when cam ping. T h e expert use of the ax, hatchet, and saw was learned by all us boys. It was also no little task to learn to m ark trails, and to follow them. Everyone learned the p rop er site for a cam pfire, and how to build a sm all com pact fire with plenty of heat for cooking. W hat boy doesn’t need to cook plenty of food if he is cam ping out! W e all also learned how many steps w e took in one hundred yards and then took a com pass hike to a nearby hill. C am pcraft im proved C ard igan ’s land scape by clearing brush on T he Point in h opes of changing the position of the w inter shelter. M ore cutting and burn in g took place at the Pinnacle where m ost of the school helped enlarge a new ski slope! H igh lights this fall included two hikes up C ardigan, several shorter hikes, and tw o cookouts. W e com pleted the fall season with a feeling of accom plishm ent and satisfaction.

CAMPCRAFT
C am pcraft did not have a large grou p this sprin g but we have accom plished a num ber of things for so sm all a group. T h is sprin g w e had an aw ard system. A ll the boys in the school are classed as "G oofers” until they have done several things such as w ork with fire, rope, bot any, axm anship, astronom y and tracking. A fter these things are com pleted the boy is called a "T ram p .” T hen he has to pass a higher set of achievements and then is classed as a "R an g er.” W ork has also been done on a bridge near the W aterfront. First we went down to T he Point to cut trees for the cross beam s and for the m ain stringers. W e cut them in lengths that stretched across the bridge. T h e w ork was com pleted before the end of school. T his sprin g archery was another activ ity that was introduced to C am pcraft and although we w ouldn’t like to be left in the w oods with only a bow to defend us, it w as fun and we learned a lot. N ear the end of the year we cooked supper for the W aterfront boys who w ere on the Connecticut R iver on a canoe trip. W e m et with them at the trip ’s destination for the cookout.

T h is fall Forestry had a good, but very busy season. Enough p lo ts w ere va cated by grad u atin g seniors last year, so that no new ones had to be cut. O ur m ain p roject was the construc tion of a "w ilderness ro ad ” from the foot o f the hill beyond the Clancy house, to the lake. A lot of trees had to be felled, and a lot of stum ps pu lled from the grou n d. T h e tractor w as used to level high spots and saw dust w as used to fill low spots. T he purpose o f this road is to provide an entrance to the lake, so that the tractor can clear the snow from the ice for skating and hockey. T h e road behind H opkins w as difficult to keep clear because of drifts. T h e hill was also quite steep causing the plow laden ve hicle trouble du ring its ascent. Forestry also burned brush cut during Sum m er School. T h is little task warm ed us on a num ber of brisk afternoons. Then there was a lot of cutting to be done on the new ski slope at the Pin nacle. Mr. Braym an and Forestry did a great deal of w ork this fall, and had a great deal of fun doing it.

T h is spring. Forestry has been felling some of the big pine trees, aside from their regular "p lo t” work. A group of abou t five have been cutting down the pines fo r use as lum ber in floor-boarding the attics of the dorm itories. T he trees have been cut and sawed into 8 foot lengths with the school chain saw. N ow we are goin g to attem pt to haul the logs aw ay with the tractor. T h e boys w ho have been w orking on their p lo ts have been doing a fine job of cleaning out brush and undergrow th. iMany thanks to Joh n R an d all for his activity leadership.

T h e fall session of W aterfront started w ith Mr. W ood explaining the very necessary regulations. T his immediately preceded a full scale invasion of the pleasures of row-boating, canoeing, and sailing. U nfortunately, the w eather was often o f a non-cooperative nature, as we ex perienced much rain and had but few good north sailing blow s. T his did not, how ever, dam pen our spirits, and sev eral boys developed the skills necessary to com plete the various sailing tests. T he follow in g boys successfully com pleted the canoe test: Bobskill, Chase, Cowen, D ore, Easter, Evans, H ale, H op kins, Mack, M acLeod, W eeks, W estlund, and W ood. Sailing tests w ere passed by four boys. Easter and W ood qualified as junior sail ors, w hile Evans and Rubert were rated senior sailors. Mr. W ood, Mr. Linn, and Mr. W exler did a very good job, helping the boys with their tests. Everyone extends their thanks to them, and we look forw ard to the day when the ice breaks next spring.

This season, as in m any past. W ater front was a great success. T h is spring, however, we had a new system to make W aterfront m ore educational and m ore fun. U nder this new system each day everyone had a chance to w ork, go sail ing or canoeing, or to be unscheduled and do whatever came to mind. W aterfront w asn’t all play and no w ork because there were things to be cleaned up and above all we had to put in the dock. T he w ork crew handled m ost of this. Putting in a dock is a harder jo b than one m ight think. First you have to fight to put the beast to gether and then piece by piece put it into the water. Y ou leave the dock for the night and come back the next after noon to find h alf of yesterday’s un finished w ork at the bottom of the lake. A lm ost every year we take a canoe trip and this year thirteen of our twenty-five m em bers went for an all day trip on the Connecticut R iver. Boy, w as that fun! T h e report of the canoe trip can be found in the Special Events sec tion. For m ost of the boys this w as a new and exciting experience, but for the old fellow s who had done it in the past, it was just as much fun as before. T h at was the highlight of the season, but there were a couple of other tidbits like, one sailboat, three canoes, and one row boat tipped over! W e have to thank for our fun M r. W ood, w ho is in charge of the W ater front, and his assistants w ho were M r. W exler, Mr. Linn, and M r. Lary.
This fall a group of seven plus Mr. Leavitt did quite a lot of w ork prim arily clearing brush on the new slope at the pinnacle. W e started this fall by w orking on the out run at the ski jum p. W e cleared brush and trees for better jum ping. The slope behind Clancy’s was im proved for recreational skiing, and some time was spent on the ski team ’s cross country course, especially the section east of the tennis courts. The Pinnacle rem ained our main proj ect, and we helped organize other activ ities which joined us to help im prove this new ski area. This w ork w ent rapidly after we were started, as many unknown lum ber jacks attacked the trees with gusto. By the end of the fall activity pro gram we felt th at we had done a lot to make skiing at Cardigan more enjoyable.

SKI IMPROVEMENT
W ith the possibility of a new tow. Ski Im provem ent has been w orking on the Pinnacle taking out trees and stumps. T h e trail we are cutting will m eet the new slope that was cut last fall, and go on down to the road. Mr. Leavitt decided th at the tow could start at the trail that leads to the new slope. A feeder trail will come from the old ski slope so that the tow will serve both areas. This cutting and clear ing should be finished by October. There has been only one casualty this year. Jim Lawson cut his leg on a log vvhile dragging some brush to the fire. He was fit as a fiddle after four stitches. Ski Im provem ent w ould like to thank Mr. H ulbert and his boys from Campcraft for the few days they spent helping us on the pinnacle. Most of us are anx ious to continue w here we left off in the fall.
