Cardigan's Third Annual Fund no\~ totals $10,250, and the students of Cardigan are already enjoying added benefits which this gift money has made pos sible. The sailing fleet has been increased to four Tech Dinghys. The· threehorsepower, outboard motor has been exchanged for a twenty-five. The Common Rooms in the dormitories are progressing rapidly, and even though they are not complete, they are already b eing used by the boys. The Ski Jump means that for the first time Cardigan is able to have a four-event Ski Team.

As additional gifts are received, it is hoped that at least a start can be made toward remodelling the Old Tontin e Mill. The shop boys who have shivered through their projects in that "air-conditioned" building will b e glad to hear this news.

The Annual Fund is divided into four groups with a Committee Chairman in charge of each. The current Chairmen are: Parents of Students, Mr. and Mrs. William H . Barker; Parents of Alumni.

Mr. and Mrs. Arnold W. Dyer; Alumni, Charles E. D. Margeson, Jr. '51; and Friends and Neighbors, Mrs. Martha C. Stevens.

A total of 96 people have contributed to the Fund, with gifts ranging from one of $3,000 to gifts of $1. Extra dividends have come in the form of the heartwarming messages that have accompanied these .donations.

The Third Annual Fund Drive does not close officially until 31 August. All of the Committee Chairmen report that they are not counting dollars; but percentages. Each one is aiming for 100.% participation, and they are working hard and long toward this goal.

All of us on campus wish to express our sincere thanks to the Chairmen and .to all of those who have cqntributed so generously to the Third Annual Fund.

Announce Engagement The engagement of Miss Marion S . Farrow, daughter of Mrs. Alva Farrow of Montclair, New Jersey, and the late Mr. Farrow, to Mr. Roger Noldt of Rochester.

New York, was recently announced by Mrs. Farrow.

Miss Farrow is our dedicated lady-in.white and Mr. Noldt is head of the Science Department and Director of the Re-• creation.

A June wedding is planned.

Summer School Boys Guests of Headmaster On Friday evening, May 17, all the boys who have attended a summer school here at Cardigan, were invited to the Headmaster's house for a party. The party was held in the student room where punch and cookies were served.

"Do You Remember " seemed to b e the subject of conversation although some serious ideas on how to improve the summer school were discussed.

Thanks go out to our hosts and hostesses, Mr. and Mrs . Burbank and Mr. and Mrs. Wakely . We had an enjoyable evenin g.

Model Piane Club Handles a Fire During the weekends, the flyb oys of the model airplane club haul out their model planes and congregate on the athletic field . This has often caused a fuss between the flyboys and the baseball players. Rather than put up a big argument, three of the flyboys decided to find themselves another field where the high fly balls would not be a threat to their precious planes. Off they went to Canaan Street for test flying on one of Fred Filior's planes. A perfect field came into view just n ear the Old North Church. What a perfect set up!

While they were in the process of starting .the plane, the motor got drenched with fuel. Fred was the pilot and Nick Wyeth was starting the motor with assistant Chip Lackey nearby. The next instant, the field was on fire . Nick ran to .the nearest house to summon aid. By the time the fire department arrived, the fire was knocked down by the able boys of CMS. Thanks to the Fire Department and to the boys who h elped put out the fire , the fire did not cause any serious damage.

Bergy's presence at Cardigan will be part of our memories in the future. His tall, rugged form was seen in every major sport on the campus. He received letters in Football, Baseball, and Hockey.

He divided his time between the singing group, the Cabinet and did a tremendous job of editing · the Blaze. In his two years here, Bergy has become a fa. miliar pa rt of the school.

Christopher Alan Stephens,

"Chris"

The Church "down on the Street" is cold, empty and silent for most of the year. Winter snow collects around it and it is forgotten . P eople drive by it and remark how old and desolate-looking it is.

Then Spring comes, and the snows disappear. Green grass grows around the Church and a wonderful transformation takes place. The old Church seems to know somewhere in its old, creaking timber s that its moment of glory is coming. It seems to perk up and take on a new look. The forsythia blooms around the church, giving it an aura of beauty.

A few days before The day, lawnmowers, cleaning ladies, pruners and Cardigan boys sweep en masse into the old church. The p eople are rehearsing · and cleaning the old church, getting it ready for its moment.

Class Prophecy It has been said that if you stand on the corner of Broadway and 42nd Street New York, you will .meet every friend you ever had. That is an old theory that has never been proved. It is now about 20 years af.tet the '59 graduation at Cardigan of a group nf fellows, so I decided to see if I could prove the above theory. I brought along several chairs , to make us comfortable. Would you care to join me just as the city awakens to another new day? Boy! traffic is surely heavy. Did you ever see so many buses? There is some guy running for all he's worth to catch a bus. By golly, that's Richard "Better late than never" Meynell. Too bad, now he has to wait until the n ext one. That guy used to be so slow that he started to get ready for bed right after our activities. Who 's that guy looking up in the sky ? Why that's Ernie Brown. I wonder if he 's looking for a mountain to climb. He'd better close his mouth or he'll sunburn the roof of it. Boy! look at that cool cat' Long hair, no shoes, casual dress.

He's a Beatnik. Why that's Tom Sadinsky. I heard he revolutionized the Beatniks down here. He put them all on a pension so they could pursue their habits. Look at that guy following Tom. He's Bob Cochrane. He works for a living and Tom won't have any.thing to do with him. See his guitar. Cochran won't change. See his long bleached hair, those low cut trousers and that slow shuffle. He pounds the box for some combo down at the Ritz. Well here comes Biff Williams. He was such a good football player that he decided the best way to train a good team was to raise them yourself, and by crackey that's just what he did.

I wonder if we will get to see all of our boys today? New York is a busy place, ya' know. There goes a big Cadillac. That is the new governor of New Hampshire. I think they used to call him Thump. I always knew ole' Thump would make out 0. K. Say, I heard that Wayne Sargent developed a new hair permanent for men . It seems all the boys at Cardigan used to be jealous of his curly hair. I'd like to see him now.

I bet he has his. mattress stuffed full of 100 dollar bills. Chris Stephens is now a counfry doctor. He is experimenting with vaccinating everyone with a phonograph needle. He claims we all talk too slowly. Bill Seely owns a big insurance company here in town. The name of the outfit is Seely to the 10th Power. Yep! All 10 of them are boys.

I hear he plans competition for Biff.

Here comes Ohta. He is now president of the U.N. with the controlling interest in the Bank of Tokyo. Nothing like

making money while you work. Up on Madison Avenue Steve "Shylock" Davidson has a big· finance corporation. He has the lowest interest rates in town if you borrow a million bucks. If I remember correctly, he was a pretty good fan of Shakespear's back in the good ole ' days . Well I'll be darned! ! There's ole' Bergy. He's a busy man these days.

He has become president and owner of Arthur Murray Dance Studios. He has a contract with Cardigan. One boy a year for Cardigan for 12 years and then they go to V.A. Seems that there is a Lucy tie at V.A. There goes that political rebel Norm Schreuder. Did you know he pushed Fidel Castro out of Cuba? He owned a razor factory in Cuba and business was bad so he just ups and runs him out of th e country.

Now all Cubans look like Yul Brunner.

Dean Hart is supposed to b e in town for a big beef show. He raises steers you know. He bought the state of Montana and kicked out everybody and now sends an ambassador to Washington.

Right now he's trying to win Princess Grace from Prince Rainier and also wants men for his army to carry out a sneak attack. Here comes Pannaci. He owns a big chain of grocery stores. Can't you tell by that big bay window he carries around with him. He can't get a shirt big enough so he has his wife buy sheets and put buttons in the seams.

There is Freddy Pearce. He owns a big boat company. Yep! biggest in the world. He fixes kids toy bathtub size boats. His own yacht is a 16 footer complete with gold nails. Blake Munro now owns Long Island only it isn't so long anymore. Bill Barker got his sailing boat going so fast that he came arounr the hord and cut it right in two and one piece sank in the ocean. Boy, did Blake get mad! Blake now has Barker chained out in the pea patch making a pea picker out of him. To prevent anymore disasters to Blake's property, he just bought the U.S. Navy to blast all boats out of the water if they get too close.

Here comes Dave Freeman. He's the number one rich playboy of the world.

Going to work you ask? Heavens! no, he's just getting home. Dave has a big house near Boston. In fact, its so big that he can be gone for two years before the servants are notified that he's gone. Here comes that great scientist J. Franchot. Ya' know there are a lot of stories going over at his place. One report is that he goes to the moon and then turns around and throws stones at the earth. How he gets there no one knows, but they say he goes in his lab and drinks this green stuff and puffff-

June, 195g off he goes. There goes Colin Campbell in that homemade hot rod. He makes them out of gold and goes around to see if the darned things will hold up.

He got going so fast one time, he missed a turn and wound up in the mountains of Pennsylvania in an ea·gle's nest.

Seems he couldn't get out for about .; week and had to stay there until the b;i.by birds grew up. The)J. he talked one into taking him down to the valley below. There's Bill Talbiert, Say feilow, whatcha' doin' down here in the city? His Maw used to work for Cardigan , but he made her quit so she could handle his money. He owns a big automatic farm and when things don't g c, right, he just goes beserk and pushe~ all th e buttons he can find. Needless t o say, it upsets our markets for days un • til he gets the mess unscrambled.

There's Rich Weeks. He used to work for the Brookline Country Club in hi~ younger days. It seems they didn 't wash the golf balls to suit Dick so he bought the place and put in his own golf ball washing service . He now owm the service in every country club in the country. Rich! you bet he's rich. IJ anything doesn't sut him, he just up s and buys it and changes the situation.

Jonathan Doane now is president of the Gerber Baby Food Corporation. John got accused of having his picture on all their jars so he bought the company and changed the picture to a beautiful Hawaiian dancing girl.

Here comes Roger Findlay. Roger owns this here big city you know. He got pretty disgusted with the way people were acting in New York so he bought the place and chang«=:d a few things. He gave Philadelphia the Empire State Building and put up some tall ones. He made the tunnels 12 lanes.

He put up 4 new bridges and lowered the streets below the sidewalks. He gave every commuter a jet motor scooter last year for Xmas. Rich you say.

I'll say he is. The U. S.' Government borrows from him every week.

Richard Priestly won't be here. He's too busy at home. He made Rhode Island a kingdom and he rules th~ roost.

He just signed a peace treaty with Dean Hart to take the country of France. It seems they want to give it to England.

Dick's wife supports him. She works in Wayne Sargent's factory. The only industry in his kingdom is a shoe strong factory that makes p_u tty knives. If that sounds mixed up its just because Dick hasn't been king too long. I understand he used to practice being the ruler in his room back at Cardigan. Here comes Ron Dudley. He now owns a remnant factory in New Hampshire.

That's why his shirts are many pieces of different colored cloth. He says it is a good advertisement.

Well the hum of the city is dying out.
