vV e are thankful for many blessings. We have our health. vVe have youth and future to make of as we will. Thanksgiving is a time when we gather together all of the things dear to u s - family, possessions, thoughts. In every case, we have a lot to be thankful for at this tim e of year. At Cardi gan, we are thankful for special attention that our schoo l provides. Exceptionally fine food is ours at all times. We are hou sed in comfortable, modern buildings I that offer at the same time the charm and gracious way of living of less hurried days. . We are afforded excell-ent tra nsportation to centers of culture such as ·Boston, New• York and Montreal, while, a.t the same time, we are apart from the large cities with their dirt and le ss desirable sides. And we have Hanover and all the advantages of Dartmouth's proximity. We have our families who think so much of us that they feel no sacrifice too great to make if it helps us. They are there when we n eed them. They think of u s constantly. Yet. to provide a better foundation for our education than any crowded public school can offer, they have made it possible for us to have the advantages of a private school. We are thankful, too, that we have the beautiful campus with its guardian Cardigan Mountain, the crystal waters of Canaan Street lake for skating in the winter and for boating and swimming in the .summer. We gripe about things from time to time, but we are twice thankful that we have the freedom to speak our own minds about things and that we have really so few things about which to complain. Millions of boys our age are not permitted to feel-let alone state their feelings . In many parts of the world today, boys like us are trained to killnot to live. At Cardigan, we're called students; behind the Iron Curtain they're called cannon fodder. We're thankful for our companioqs, , a~d •. the rigqt_to choose .. our friends from so many really grand ·fellows. We're thankful for our masters, although we may not be ready to admit it. Deep down inside, we know they're our friends, always ready to help us in dozens of different ways. We call our bus a "heap." But we're pretty thankful for the trips it makes possible and · for the warmth it provides as we head for home after a crisp afternoon at a football game. · We have . harsh words for the house mother who makes us comb. our hair ·a nd wash our ears; for the master of the day when he sends us back to shine our shoes. But a.c tually, we are pretty thankful that so many folks really care how we 100k, and we know that in a few years .yhen we want \. to make that certain girl aware of our' attractions we'll be glad someone taught us good grooming. We are thankful that we can go home for the holidays this year. Some are thankful of the festivities planned at The Lodge for those who will stay here. We're thankful for the turkey and the pumpkin and mince pies. vVe're thankful for the right to go to the church of our choice to thank our Cpd for everything he has bestowed on us. W ,e have much to be thankful for, and agree with the words of the ol~ hymn: ~OSCO "And here Thy name, 0 God, of love, Their chidren's children shall adore Till these eternal hills remove, Cardigan were Fred Arsenault, MOVIES And spring adorns the earth no more."

Study Hall by Paul Moriarty Have you ever spent a typical evening in the study hall at Cardigan Mountain School? If not, you've missed a circus, my lad. Amid ·the silence of a dull ·roar; the master is heard to call out vainly, "Hold your · questions until there is a minute of quiet." A minute of quiet-what's that? Standing at the side of the room with note book in, hand, all old trusty (or rusty) p·e n and a pocketful of pencils, he is unusually upset because a scholar (and I use the term loosely) has tossed a spitball. Ditto takes an eraser and beans Stone with it. Chadwel! picks it up and heaves it at Miller. It lands on Russo's desk. Miller and Russo. team up to fight Moore. F inally Stenze l gets it. He throws it at ·clement, but hits Fox. Dave tosses it at Warden. He tries to keel} it, but Carpenter and Moriarty take it away. Then Lovett and Warden and Grevior grab it. Five! It reminds me of En glish clas s, so I ~¥rite thi s story. I hope you like it, Sir!

"A lot of the boats are in pretty 1good condition," Miller thought , "'especally th e n ew ones purchased last year." Miller commented further, "A lot :if the fellows fool around too much at the waterfront. Canoes get rocked, swamped by boats with outboards and sometimes are tippea over deliberately." "I think that tests should be .g iven in swimming, ability t o. handle canoes, and boating," he adds. "When that happens, the waterfront will be a much safer place," h~onclucled.
