Through the past two months, we have been blanketed with snow ranging at times from a mere inch to a few feet. A lthough we cannot control mother Nature, we have proven that we can endure her forc e by getting to class es on tim e, packing ski slopes and shoveling t h e hockey rink. Throug h m ean s of one very important machine, the tractor, Mr. Hines and his cr ew have m anaged t o ke ep roads and walks clear. During the w inter we have learned how to face up to adverse conditions. In closing I wo uld like to say that our sch ool spirit has been a great factor 111 our learning. JB

Clancy by William Dyer '58
Our Chef, Richard Clancy but known to everyone as Clancy, has been with the school ever since it began in 1945. Clancy did not start fresh here as a cook; he was also a chef in the service for some time before he came to Cardigan. He has had th r ee children since then. They are T h eresa, Michael and Richard. His wife also _ helps him in the kitchen. Clancy is not only known for his wonderfu l food. Before the school moved to it5 present location, it was down on Canaan Street in the Lodge . While he cooked t h ere he also did other j obs like he lping the sc hool o ut by painting its buildings. He also used to and still does, take boys with him fish ing and hunting. But the same story didn't come back of how t h e big one got away, T hey caught it\ When I first came to. Cardigan I was am2zed at the way Clancy put two fingers up. I soon learned that this mean t seconds on dessert. Cla ncy is a walkiu)\ newspaper, almanac and joke book; always ready to lend useful information and w itty remarks, Coming back to his job as chef, his food is really very good for a school of this size. People may not know it but it is a hard iob to feed about 300 mouths a day, Clancy shou ld r eceive a pat on the back for the job he does for this school.

Snowshoes on Cardigan
Camp Keewayden Talk
by Peter Albee '58 Wednesday, tl~e 19th of February, Mr. Wakely and P eter Albee made an attempt to climb Cardigan Mountain. They left right after classes. They brought their dinner with them. The y drove as far as the old gristmill in M-r. Wake ly's car . From there they walked on snowshoes to the parking lot. On the way they passed a house, and the snow was up to the roof . When they reached the parking lot an hour later they dug down about five or six feet to build their fire to cook their food . Peter carried the pack up, to the parking lot, and when he got there he¡ found out that he had been lugging the wood for the fire, too . After they ate they went on, towards the top of the mountain, following the wires. Some part of the way the wires were under the snow. They made it to The Hermitage, and then night set in and the y had to go back. One quar ter of the way back t o the parking lot they met Mr. Brayman and J ohn Franchot. They followed the well packed trail that Mr. Wakely and Peter had
by B lake Munroe '59
made, and still they ¡were exhausted . It was abo ut three miles from the car to The Hermitage.
Ski Season (Cont inued from page 3.) 51011.
Wednesday, February 26, the Cardigan ski team had a meet with Stevens Junio,r H ig h School of Claremont . The first event was down hill. T he course was especially fast. Steve Hanley beat ihe course record by two seconds in his run . We did very we ll and the race went off quickly. Then came the slalom. There was an exce ll ent course se t by Mr. B urbank. The team was in _good p r act ise with excellent performances by Tom Hamilton and Dave Freeman. We got a 100% score . The- cross-cou nty was next. The snow was very wet and there was a g r eat difference in the wax. Finally, the race got underway on our new course. T h e team did very well and we won. On the 5th of March, t he Cardigan ski team he ld its last home meet with Vermont Academy . The Cardigan team was in excellent shape and they won bot h downhi ll and slalom. The cross-country was a different story. The Vermont team was very strong and had a lot of drive. They won this event. The Cafdigan team won bu t by a close margin-29 1 - 285.
On Saturday night, Tanuar y 11, Mr. Chivers gave a talk and showed a short movie on Camp Keewayden. Mr. Chivers is a director of Camp Keewayden. The campis located in -the wilderness of Canada. Thenearest civilization is thirty-five miles away. The movie showed the location of the camp, the surrounding environment and the things. the boys learn there. The things the y lea1_.n are; handling of a. canoe, pitching of camp, cleaning up and. breaking up camp-. They often go on camp ing trip s from two da ys to two months. At the end of camp the boys have contests. These contests are swimmmg aud canoeing. Many boys will be going back next yea1~ and others won't, but I am sure that t he boys who have left will never forget CampKeewayden.
Hockey Season (Continu ed from page 3.) the ice plus the goalie. We made some good attempts to score and did. Dave Bergeson scored. The refe r ee then found out that the Proctor penalty time keeper had gotten orders m ixed up. He had left a Proctor boy in too long. After a confe r ence with the coach the referee decided that the point was no good. We were very disappointed. We did not score a~d at the end it was 0-0. Ou r last game was w ith V.ermont Academy. O ur ski team went over in t he morning because this was a big day for them. We went after classes again. The ice was very slushy. There was no dribbling that da y. You would have to lift it. We did just that. In t h e first period Vermont scored one goal. We did not make any. They had a very good goalie. He was the best we had seen t h is yea r. In the second we were scoreless again and they scored one. In the third period we m::ide som e _more fine attempts, but missed by inches. They got a goal on us again. The game ended 3 - 0. Our year ended with three losses and two t ies. The team , in m y op,inio,n did a fine Job on the w hole and I, as a senior. hope next year is m ore su ccessful.

H. L. Webster & Sons New Kitchen Units by David Bergeson '59 Four of the faculty apartments had n ew kitchen units installed in the fall. The unit s were bought because the school thought it wou ld be nice if the fac ulty co uld cook meals when they wanted to. Another reason was that they could cook cookies and other things to have floor p,a rti es for the boys. The k itchen units contain a sin k, oven, refrigerator, cupboa rd and a thre-burner· stove. They have been installed for Mr. I and Mrs. Linn and Mr. Nea l in Brewster and for Mr. Noldt and Mr. Leavitt in Hinman .
