The Rohe Cardigan witnessed cinemascope in the first pioture ever made by that method. Mr. Kennard arranged to have his History classes attend a showing in Lebanon . . . Before the picture was shown a short film explaining cinemascope was presented. IUl ,t he boys enjoyed this scientific part as well as the picture. ALAR ELLIS, '54

Hockey This year the boys are looking forward to haying a hockey . team. The ice came rather late. The masters have made plans for a rink on the ice. Mr. Stowe and Mr. Morgan went with a man from the Mascoma Lumber Company down by the Grafton Depot, to a deep gully where old railroad ties ha,d been dumped. It was discovered that more help was needed, and several days later a crew of workers set out with the school dump~truck and the beach wagon. A rope was fastened to each tie to snake it out to the ,t ruck. That day a truck load was brought home. The ties are being placed on the ice and the rink is taking shape rapidly. Mr. Morgan is going to coach ithe team. It is rumored that the team wil:l have complete uniforms. CHARLES DITTO,

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Clark, members of •t he faculty , Nellie, Dick, Frenchy, Ruth, students and all others I may have overlooked, Greetings: Tha,t word has a bad connotation for me ever since that day when I opened that precious letter. Greetings : I don't suppooe I'll ever use it again. Previously it meant Merry Christmas, Happ:y; New Year and all the joys of the holiday season, such as holly, Ohristm~ trees, presents a~d a warm fire. This year it meant lines, oold water, shots m the arm, marching, cleaning and mopping ba,rra.cks and ,t hrte hours of sleep a night.
all. This includes , such things as leairning oo fire weapons, going under infiltration (that is real fire) , getting accustomed to the cold, light meals, long hikes and in general, a rugged life. After the eight weeks I don't know for sure what will happen. I have been .recommended for E. & I., which stands for education and information, burt I can't b~ sure of that. Last night, New Year's Eve, several of the guys waited to see the New Year in, then ran a,round the barracks rattling cans and noise makers and shouting "Happy New Year." They woke everybody up and received some unpleasant response, but we all finally arose and sang "Auld Lang Syne" and then went back to sleep. This morning we were permttted to stay in bed, and of course I enjoyed that. Funny thing, though, I couldn't sleep any later than 8:00. Our chief enemy or f,riend, as the c·ase may be, is the weather. And if you .t hink it's w.a:rm in Maryland, guess ag,ain. It's damp here, and being near waiter we really feel it. So pray for a nice, mild winter, and if it is I'll be very content. · In case any of you would like to write, and I would be very happy to ,hear from you, as mail is about on.!.· only contact with the outside worlti, here in my address :
The motto of the army is "Hurry up and wait" and that means exactly that. Ever since the 15th of December, we have been dashing from one line to another and then move inch by inch in ,the freezing cold to the front of ,t he line. There, anything might happen. Sometimes you would feel funny little jabs in your a.rm, and :realize you had just received a shot. Anoth er time, they will smile cheerfully at you; ask you how you Jike the army and then scowl at your reply. But more than often, a sergeant will be there barking at you while piles of baggy clothes come flying in your direction. Naturally, nothing fits, but two weeks la,ter you can form another line to get alterations. When we eat, we form a line; when we go to the movies <this has happened once) we are in line. Even to wash or rtake a shower, there is a line.

Right now, 1 can look around and see those who have been conditioned to it and those who continue to rebel against it. The 9nly difference is that to rebel in the army is a dangerous thing.

Building Plans The mansion is nearly :finished, and classes have been held there !or some weeks. The contract for the building of a new dormitory and a new dining hall and \infirmary has been made, and as soon as the ground thaws the building will begin ... ::::t should not be very long before Cardigan Mountain School will be looking upon the mountains.
Summer Session This summer Cardigan Mountain School is holding its fourth annual Summer School Session. It will open June 22nd. and dose August 18th. The courses to be given are Remedial Mathematics, Algebra, Geometry, Remedial English, all languages and History. · We plan !lio enroll thirty boys, sixteen more than last year. Some boys from the regular school session have already made plans .t o be with us. Many exciting activities have been planned. Some are: instruction in. life-saving, golf, a baseball team with regularly scheduled games, sleepouts, fishing ,trips, water skiing, sailboating and canoe trips. The bus will be here to take the whole school tonearby lakes, mountains and other more distant excursions. Possibly a day in Boston for a big league ball game or a trip to Benson's Animal F'arm will be in order. UndotJ.btedly, the summer session will provide a great deal of fun and sun for those boys who will be here. Dick and Nellie Clancy's cooking will ,t empt many a summer school candidate. Clancy has some wonderful trips planned for eager anglers. Speak to last year's summer school members about that. As for ,t he masters,. we think we have a fine group. All ·h ave had experience in working and playing with boys your age, 9-16. All are fully equipped to give the summer school member instruction in his subjects as well as sports. For you boys who want to be well prepared for next year's studies, summer school will provide a wonderful opportunity. Fm· those boys who want plenty of outdoor cookouts, fishing ,t rips, swimming, boating, water skiing the summer camp is just what you would like. I hope to Sef •a s many of you as possible here this summer. · J. J . MORGAN, JR.
Christmas Cardigan celebra,ted Christmas be- · fore the vacation. In addition to the reading of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, the Christmas Pageant and the very fine Banquet, the ninth gradens decorated ,their tree and had a party, Santa oame with little gifts for all the boys, there was a school party and · t~e boys sang Christmas carols to their neighbors on Canaan Street.
Speaking Of Neighbors The boys of the school, in cooperation with Mr. Welch of the Canaan Street Improvement Socie-t y, picked up piles of brush along tlie street. The boys were told of the Society which is responsible for keeping the street so beautiful, and they were very pleased to be able .to help in this way. Mr. Welch has been a very good neighbor to us. He has ,t aught for Mr. Sharp and Mr. Clark when they have had to leave the school. Ricky Fisher, Bill Talbert and Al Hutchings shoveled snow for Mrs. Davis who was ill in bed. They made a wide walk to the street.

tling with boys' questions. The trial ended with a question put to :the defendants by Mr. Morgan. He asked: "Were you, in your opinion, a credit to Cardigan Mountain School on that evening?" .. Not one of the boys felt able to say YES. Three refused to say YES or NO; one said NO. The jury, picked by lot, voted in secret and arrived at a unanimous decision of GUILTY. Now, I have seen trials at other schools, and what impressed me in this one was the part the students played in speaking and the attempt on ,the part of the faculty to let the defendants speak, and to let •the boys take part in questioning and judging . . . At one point I thought the jury was going to find the def,e ndants over-punished. But the sense of fairness displayed by the jury, and even ,t he defendants (who could have lied to being a credit to the school) was democracy in action. I felt proud that the boys could do suoh a fine job. THOMAS LoVETT, '55

The setting of Johnny Reb takes place in the Civil War days of 1861 through 1865 in the Confederate· cavalry in Virginia and Georgia. The characters are Ezra Todd, a soldier in the Southern cavalry who is tall and stalkY, and is afraid in battle at first, then becomes very brave; Festival Jones, a lieutenant in the southern cavalry who is shol't, fat and very considerate of people in need; Jed Sears, a very cruel and selfish man of average build who loafs; Bert Sears, a mean and cunning, taH, skinny, thirty year old officer in the Union Army who betrayed :the South; Wade Hampton, a general in the Southern army who is very intelligent and is tall and very well built, about forty five and very kind and understanding. The plot of Johnny Reb is about a man's experiences in the Southern cavalry in the Civil War and his hardships and victories, and about the other men in the South and the things they went through during the war. The theme is that war brings horrible suffering and poverty to people, and that it is a mean and bad thing. I like Johnny Reb because it is true, though it has fictitious characters, and it keeps you in suspense. It is fast moving. I like the theme because it gives you a good idea of what war is like. I also like the book because I like war stories and I like stories of early America. JAMES TuRLEY, '54
Mr. Sharp's Sermon Mr. Sharp said that God was the

Henry IV 'I'he eighth and ninth grades attended Shakespeare's HENRY IV, produced by the Dartmouth Players in Robinson Hall. The boys liked °Falstaff (Eric Berg_ strom) best, appreciated the prideful Hotspur (John Cunnipgham) , and delig1h-ted in Francis (George Stern), the comic waiter. Mr. Schoenhut and Mr. Davis alliowed the boys backstage, and that was almost as thrilling as the play. The boys inspected the stage, th.e set. and saw how the lighting affected the scenes . . . At intermission, some of -the boys discovered some of rbhe players in the News Room, and reported their amazement in finding the players so heavily made up--and so pleasant . . . The boys had found the play as good as the classroom previews foretold. DAVID Fox, '55

One day Clem was out for a delicious bi,t of air when he heard a noise like this: Boom! Boom! There were four men running out of the LAST AND NOT LEAST BANK. They had just stolen all -t he money from the bank. It was a couple million. Clem wound up his tail feathers and took off after the crooks. He followed the crooks to :their hidein. The hidein was about 2 to 3 million meters away. Clem flew like a flash back to Headfifties to tell Thursday about the robbery. Thursday ran to his Sabre Jet, got the engine running (He had to catch i.t) , and flew to the hidein He caught them green-handed (They were counting the money)!
