C.M.S. Dance If, upon February 23, 1957, here at CMS, .an unsuspecting boy had casually walked ,out of his dorm for an afternoon stroll about campus, he mnst probably would have •·been quite surprised ( to say the least) to ·-find the campus literally swarming with oh - ho, you're right, dear reader -girls - a :rare sight here at Cardigan. Cardigan turns Co-ed? Nope, I'm sorry to say_ but it was ,upon February 23, that CMS played host to _girls from Hanover, Canaan, Lebanon and Enfield at the Snobunny Sock Hop and Skiing-skating party. The whole shebang started at 3 p .m. when the girls arrived and were ushered down to ·Cardigan's hockey rink where the boys and _girls mingled and witnessed a game between CMS and Vermont Academy, in 60 degree weather. No, that is not 60 degrees below, it's 60 degrees. Ice in that sort of -weather is such a dream to skate on that those skating might even find it much easier to walk on. In short, the ice that day was in such pitiful condition that it is impossible to describe. The game ended in a scoreless tie, which was well, for if either .side had scored, it would have been a poor -victory. Since skiing and skating were deemed :impossible, after the game was over, the e ntire company came up and thrilled to the exciting adventures of Woody Woodpecker -:in the auditorium. Immediately following, everyone marched to the dining hall where Clancy's superb cooking was dished ou t <eafeteria style . After we gluttons devoured the meal. back to the auditorium for more about the Woodpecker. Then, at long last, the dance. Clad in socks, we danced all tempos for a couple of hours 'ti! 9 p.m. Then, after the goodnights, the fa ir damsels left for their homes in all the grief and sorrow of part:ing. John Rutledge '57
Skating After Thaw Ever since we had a thaw in the middle of winter and the water and the ice froze, we have had excellent skating. The · fi rst day it was safe to go on the ice, just about the whole school was there. In a few places the ice was rough but in spots it was beautiful. Even when there is about one inch to two inches of snow on the lake it is still good . One day a few boys and a master skated almost all around the lake . When thev got -past Camp Crescent they headed straight across to the old school dock. Then they visited Mr. Brayman and came back past the point to the hockey rink. The ice was rough in a few places, but it was fun trying to stand up. Bruce Bronson '57
Ski Meet
Night Skiing and Skating
This is a report on the ski trip we took to South Stratford, Vermont. We left Sunday, · February 17, 1957. Charles Duksta, Billy · Pezzulli, \Villel Cobb, Harry Whittelsey, Jeff Dorrance, Steve Hlanli!y and J ac k Woods. We got to the ski slope about one-thirty. Then we went up to the top of the slope to look over the slalom course and found it was not easy. To some of us who had not had much experience it was quite a tas k. South Stratford, Vermont, won the slalom race but we did not feel badly for it was the first time we had ever entered a meet such as this. Then we had a down hill in which we placed first. We were quite proud of ourselves. We all had a g reat deal of fun at the meet but decided it was time to leave . On the way home we talked about the meet and thought we had done a fairly good job Bill Pezzulli '57
Here at Cardigan for a number of years we have had night skiing. Previously under Mr. Donald Stowe we went to" Nor,vich, Vermont to ski at night. Unfortunately the skiing was steep and icy. You had to ski where the ruts were. Such fast skiing under these conditions was a hazzard for most of the students. Now, however, we have a slope of our own that has- its own tow and can easily be fixed up with fl.ood lig ht s. The procedure is to hook up the sockets to Dick Clancey's house with an auxiliary generator in the old station wagon. There are also lights on the truck. So Cardigan has a slope with no ruts and good snow. The slope is gradual. Another night activity is night skating and this is done by the light" of the fuli moon when we have one. Jeff Dorrance '57
Skiing Around Lake
Floor Representatives
It was just like any other day as we At the beginning of the school ye~r it was went out for skiing by the athletic field decided that there would be floor repreon that cold day in February'. Skiers gath- sentatives for each dormitory and Steven's ered and roll was called. Then we started House. Each floor got together and electon a fatiguing trip around the lake. And, ed two hoys to be their leader. The job believe me, it was tiring! I was · one of of a floor representative is to help the the last people back to school as I pushed master in organizing parties, se tting up I those slabs of hickory. When I saw Car- rules and enforcing them. This has been ~igan, f_o~ . the_ fir ~,t time in my life I said, successful because the boys don't feel that they are being run entirelv b v the faculty.

Smoking
Under the headmasters hip of Mr. Ro la nd W. Burbank, I feel that Cardigan Mo untain Schoo l has come a long way. It has its good and bad points like a ll sc hool:s but the bad are few and are taken car e of as fas t as. t hey can be. W ith the new s tudent leadersh ip so me of the wo rk is taken off the faculty and w ith the stud ent coimc il the boys are ab le to bring u p things which the other boys have s uggested and they are talked abo ut and sometimes they are goo d for the schoo l. Car digan has been going for about eleven years and in jus t that short time they have three new bui ld ings whh. a Jou.rth one on_ ,iJs w_ay ~ I Jbink that in abo ut five or ten years the. sc hool wi ll have everyt hing that could be asked fo r. '\i\Tit h the fac ulty th at we have this year the schoo l is bound to produce good citize ns fo r any community and they ca n be pro ud of the fact . Robert Leighton '57
The m embers of the Student Councit _ brought up, at their meeting one day what they should do about smoking at Cardigan.. There were many good ideas. Mr. Burbank broug ht up the idea of running around_ the sc hool which consists of startin g at thefront gate and going down the road and onto the back road, w hich goes in back of Hinman Hall, ancl. around in front of ClarkMorgan and then back up to the, gate again. There was a 'little difficulty on hpw many t im~s the boys shoul d run around . Some said six, five and t en. We did no.t .. know how many times. Then ori Tuesday ni ght at the fac ulty meeting _Mr. Burbank brought up what the council h,!_d said. They. agreed that: A boy that is ca ught smoking or hacL any smokin g .materials on him, excluding matches, would be puni shed in the following- way. F irst offense, eight laps; second offense,. one hour workin g under Mr. Clancy; third 'offense, on bou nd s a nd having all pr1{•ileges taken away , spending all morning stu dy periods und er a ma ster a nd a lso conferen ce-peri od and one a nd a half hours studying-· on Saturday eve ning.

In the morning when tli.e wait~rs come· into the dining room they are supposed to set their tables. The silverware, glasses. and plates are on trays near each table .. After they have set their tables they should go to the dispensing window and get milk: and water and anything else that is there .. At noon and for the· evening meal· they do the same, thing. After their tables are set and they have secured their milk for the tables, they should get in line to collect the main course. After everyone has finished the main course, the .waiters clear the tabl es, get dessert, and finally clear and clean their tables_ Peter Davidson '58

The wolf was startled by this n01se and ran for the · fire escape. Somehow he opened the door. He scrambled down the fire escape as fast as he could, Everybody, who was in the study hall, took up the chase while Mr. Black came out of the dormitory with a loaded gun. The wolf was barely out of the school ground when he heard a gunshot. He felt a stab of pain in his right flank. He g ained the woods and ran until he was exhausted. He lay down and licked his wound.
A long time ago there was a place called White River. This river was located 111 Maine deep in the woods.

My Experience Five years ago, my brother, gramp_ and I, were playing football. I went into the bushes after it. It was bitten by an adder and in a few seconds I was very swollen and white. My gramp took me into the house and put me to bed. That night· my mother took me to the doctor because I had swollen up so much from my head to my waist that my skin began to break her e and there. I was blind too because my eyes were swo!len shut for two whole days. I was sick to my stomach too, and the doctor gave me some shots. In a few day s the swe!!ing had gone away and I could see again, and the places where skin had broken began to heal. Now when I see an adder I get away from it as fast as I can because I know· what it's. like to be bitten by one. . Kirk Smith '62
