Check Study Habits The first day of school a lot of us arrived at Cardigan Mountain ·School with the feeling that this year it was going to be different. We . wer;~: gding t9 hand in assignmen.ts the day they were due. We yvere going to keep a neat notebook filled with copious notes. All in all, :we were going to buckle down and sta1:t to achieve ·g ood grades. · ' ·· ' Now spring vacation is upon us. M:aybe you have been receiving those grades ~ and maybe you haven't. It's quite difficult to change your ways fro~ .bad stu.dy habits t_o good once the bad ones have· been practiced for a long ti_me. Nevertheless, most of us ktiow what we :should be doing, whether we do it ; or noL If you have had . habits which you find hard to . change, just reniember' that the longer you keep at them the harder it .w ill become to change them . Graduation is really not very far away. If you have a number of unkept study resolutions there is no time like the· present to start keeping them . If they can pay off in April, you may even become convinced that you should have started · long ago.

Help Your Council Elections have passed and the newly elected president a nd secretary have taken up their duties with Cardigan Mountain School's new student c·ouncil. For them, the job is just beginning. We can make it easier for them and for ourselves and do a great deal to improve our school if we too pitch in and help. The tendency in some schoo ls is to elect officers to council posts and then leave them hanging in mid-air with no ,;; tudent support left beneath them. Stud~nt council is a body that should function to express the desires of the students. If stu-, dents remain indifferent to it, offer no suggestions, and support none of its projects, it ce~tainly cannot succeed in its job. . Cardigan's student l!ouncil is off to a wonderful start. our · betterLe.t's all get behind it and keep it progressing for ,.r, ment and that of the schooL '1'/,

Record Club for Boys Suggested by Byrnes
Heads Honor Roll Venetian Blinds Go Up in Dining Hall
Ca rdigan Mountain School should have a record club for th ose students interes ted in this hobbv. Butch B yrnes suggested r ece ntl y in a letter to the editor. Many of the students are collecting r ecordings, have players that they use frequently and like to discuss-maybe even exchange-their ·· discs, it is believed. Possibly the group could collaborate with the radio club to broadcast a hit parade program once a week. Byrnes says, Tommy Adams, member of Cardigan Mountain School's fifth grade, is a patient at Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, N . H .. where he is being treated for a leg infection . A broken transmission has put the Cardigan Mountain SchrJo! bus out of commission for the present. Trips · to movies, Hanover a n d church are handled by the school -station wagons, private cars and double trips . Robert Morris has had two visit, ·from his father recently. Mr. Morris stopped at Cardigan Mountain School Thursday, March !, and he and Mrs. Morris had driv en here from Peterborough, N . H., to see their son over the weekend.

Venetian blinds were installed in the dining hall wing of Clark- Morgan Hall at Cardigan M ountain . School between breakfast and luncheon March 1. Bare windows in the dining hall have bothered many since the room w as put into use. Especially in the morning whe~ the sun streamed in to hit those boys who faced the east, was it uncomfortable. Last summer, some recall, the evening sun's rays from the west ·made it unpleasant for those who faced that side of the hall. Bareness from lack of decorations dismayed some.
Nicholas Stenzel, ninth grader at Cardigan · Mountain School, has been named again as top boy scholastically here. Nick repeatedly has had a high average since coming to Canaan. H e finds time for student council work, hikes and other activities and is popular with his classmates whom he is alway, ready to help.
ELECTRICAL -
Headmaster Roland W. Burbank announced that the lowest figure for which he could have suitable drapes installed was about $800 and. he felt this was not too necessary an expenditure ·at this time. It was decided to order the Venetian blinds now and add side drapes at a later date to dress up the dining hall. The blinds are seemingly quiteattractive and will provide not only protection from the rays of the sun as it nears the horizon, but will enable ventilation in warmer weather to be provided- a feature that drapes drawn acr0:ss the window~ might make difficult.

THE COBB HOUSE ROOMS -
Cha ng es affe cting the fifth and sixth g rades have bee n mad e at Cardig an Mounta in Ec hool. Recess time, classroom loca tio n a nd a ctivity sch edul es have been r evis ed. The fifth g rad e cl ;;,. ssroom with Mrs. Ann a Davis, the teac\1er, has been m oved to th e first fl oo r of Cla rk-Morga n Hall to what was formerly the facult y room . Th e fa culty w il! now use the old sunroom from which all books and . other stored materials have been taken. The fifth grade will also try a new schedule. Recess time for these youn g er boys has been moved up ahead of the r egular period. This enables the smaller fellows to conclude their play time before the older boys come from their classrooms. An intermission in the two long mornings periods for fifth grader, will be instituted, too, to help break up the morning for them and permit extra time 'f or excess energy to be siphoned off. Mr. Roger Noldt has assumed responsibility for · a separate activity schedule for the younger students at Cardigan. This will enable them to compete with othe rs their . own age, and not place them in a position to live up to sports standards of their larger classmates. The for the activities p·rogram now. Responsibility is being built for the fifth and sixth graders at the same time. They are learning to assume some positions of trust in the school life, The two grades are organizing to care for Hinman Hall auditorium, among other things. The responsibility training is also extended to the other grades in the matter of room inspection s. Each week, a different boy on eac:h floor of the two dormitori es will have charge of this job under the dire ction of the house mother. This week, Sam Conwell has been ro om in spector for the top floor of Hinm a n Hall with Tom Dunn carrying out the re sponsibilities on the lower floor. In Brewster H all, Paul Snyder inaugurated the system on. the first floor and Nick Stenzel has had the second fl oor roo ms to watch . The boys not onl y prefer to do tl~eir own in s~ectiqn, but also have indi cated th a t th ey are even more ·severe in their criticism than the hous e mother mi ght be.
