C-M's Show of the Year On Saturday, February 27, ClarkMorgan Hall held its talent night.

This year it was a minstrel show.

All · of the boys and adults worked hard and relatively fast considering the time they had to put the show together.

All of the boys had d~rkened faces and P. Wojtul and J. Casselman took the parts of the girls. They were a howl! End men were: C. Hall, D. Rubert, and T. Hopkins on the left side of the interlocutor, who was A. Cox. On the right side the end men were : T. Winship, D. Irwin, and F. Smith. These boys stole the whole show. We believe that we have a true actor in our midst after seeingthe act10ns of one Charley Hall. F. Smith with his southrrn accent, did a terrific job. The other boys certainly added much to the show to make it such . a success. The "girls" of our show did some reciting to add to the variety of stunts.

Music Appreciation Well Received Once a week on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. , you will see a group of boys lying on the floor or sitting around in various positions in the faculty lounge listening to classical music. Some of the boys bring books to read or will try to do a little homework during this delightful half hour of the masters of music.

Mr . Wakely is responsible for our music appreciation, which is greatly appreciated by most of the boys.

After listening to the music from the masters for some time, Mr. Wakely slipped in the Tales from South Pacific as an added treat.

Recently Mr. Noldt had some 8th and 9th grade boys take part in thP service. Mr. Wakely also had boys from 7th grade to help put on the service. The boys read parts of the Bible that pertain to the theme of the service, announce the songs to be sung, read the responsive readings and give the benediction. In some cases the boys even give prepared talks on certain subjects to the rest of the student body.

French Hall Nears Completion "What progress has been made on our new dorm?" you ask . "Let's take a look inside and see for ourselves."

As we open the crude, make-shiit doors, we see the interior of the building has had a great deal of work done to it since our last visit. Stairs have replaced the ramps, plaster has been put on the walls and a woodshop h11s been set up to cut the lumber for closets and the rEst of the builtin furniture. One thing we miss is the maze of materials foat used to be kept in the halls that made our last visit hazardous. Now we can walk down the hall without leaping over building materials The furniture in the rooms for boys consists of ?. closets with slidin,z doors and 2 built-in b~reaus. Over the bureaus is a place for a light to be installed along with a mirror. As we progress down the wide halls, we cnn see the recessed areas that will house the fire hoses that can be used for emergencies. The new pull-down stair. way has been installed that allows one to go to the attic of the building with ease. Oh, there are so many new things and features to this new building. You really have to see it to appreciate its full value.

The two masters apartments are nearly finished, Paint, floor covering and kitchen cabinets are being worked on by Mrs. Wakely. Some of the other rooms are being painted now also.

We have only given you a sample of the progress that has gone on in French Hall. It is rapidly being completed. Anyone visiting our campus is invited to go over to our new, beautiful dorm and get a look-see for yourself. We are sure you will be just as impressed with the building as we are.

Poetry Night On December 13th there was a gathering in the auditorium . It was Poetry Night in Hinman Hall. The 7th gral:E:, under the guidance of their English teacher, Mr. Wakely, presented the night. Each member of the c!a&s recited a poem.

L. Heed and S. Tibbetts did tl:e only historical poem, The Gettysburg Address. Humorous poems were done

by P. Jagoda, A. Ccx, P . Westlund , P. ·woJtui, nnd J·. Christy, Two well known poems were done

by P . Cardent who recited "Gunga Din" and "The Cremation of Sam McGree' ' by J . Evan~. Both bnys deserve a great deal of credit for reciting such a long poem. Everyone in the class deserves praise and credit for a job well done. How about a return engagement so,netime.

Winter Frolic Cardigan's winter dance, held February 19, was called the "Winter Frolic." Chairman for the entire dance was Duncan Jenks. Decorations were done by J. Miller, J. Hinman, G. Suitor and C. Hall. The Auditorium was beautifully decorated to resemble a ski lodge. A brown crepe paper ceiling resembled the hand hewn beams and a large fabricated fireplace was placed in the center of the dance floor The girls arrived in the afternoon to see an exhibition of ski jumping done by the ski team After this there waf: a movie called the "Mardi Gras" was shown in the auditorium. At 6 o'clock we all went to the dining room wher,:: Mr. Clancy had prepared one of his delicious buffet dinners f(Jr us. About 7 o'clock we all started to wander over to the auditorium whrre the dance ti.>ok place. Everyone seemed to have a good time if all the hustling and bustling around looking for a partner was any sign. The d~nce ended at 10:30. ·· -N. Wyeth

Tricky Weatherman Ole' man winter tried desperately to give us a taste of southern exposure this February by giving us a break ir. the weather . . For two days, February 10 to 12, we had a thaw and plenty of rain. The temperature rose to the sixties but he didn't fool anyone. We all had our eyes focused on the lake. We were all hoping for a quick frce7e so we could have some sk'ltine and theP. more snow so we could enjoy the slopes again. We got both of our vvishes .

During the rainy dl!.ys we were allowed to fix our skis. We took full advantage of the time and of Mr. Leavitt's and Mr . Hulbert's time to gel some expert advice on what to do with our little skiing problems. We had that good skating weather of a couple of days and then the snow" came and completed our winter picturf' again.

Mrs. Burbank Entertains Boys For several weeks, Mrs. Burbank has played hostess to the boys here on campus at an afternoon party.

These parties are held on an unscheduled afternoon at 4:00 and one floor of a dormitory is invited at a time.

Different kinrls of cake art" served with hot chocolate after we have spent an afternoon siding or skating or just loafing the afternoon away. It certainly is a nice way to warm up after spending a cGld afternoon on the slopes or ice.

Thes e "come as you are" parties are a lot of fun with plenty of active conversation and sometimes a rousing game of shuffle board.

Mrs. Noldt assists. Mrs. Burbank in the serving of food, and occasionally Mr. Burbank interrupts his busy schedule to he with us . The wonderful party comes to an end with a full tour of the heacim~ster's house .

Skating Weather Confined To Few Days With the coming of the snows skating suffers. This year many hour; were spent s·hoveling snow off the ice for the hockey team and for the boys that enjoy a ·good aft;;rnoon of skating. For more days than we cnre to rempmber, the snow covered that smooth surface and skating was impossible. In February came the thaw.

It war- fl vvelcome sight for those of us that enjoy skating, but a headache for the skiers. When freezing weather decended once more upon our hill, everyone was glad for the chance to skate. We also noticed many skiers down on the lake cutt.ing some fancy figures . It looked as though everyone was glad for the change. One evening when the 1ce was very good, Mr. Noldt held a skating night. We were allowed to skate for about an hour and then we went to the dining room where hot chocolate was served. Mr. Mmnier and Mr. Wexler joined us by the mounlight.

Many of the boys are very good skaters. To name them all would take almost the complete roster of the school. They seem to be able to glide around v,itr: the greatest of ease, but so far no ont' has completed a trip around the lake. By the looks of the weather now, there won't be any trips around this year. Even though we haven't had enough skating for a winter, we have been thankful for those few days.

-J. Oliver

New Arrivals On Campus For .a half hour after ski instructions every day, we are allowed to have free skiing on Clancey's Hill.

The rope tow runs from 3 to 3:3C P.M: This tow alsn runs every unscheduled afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. It ii:: a mighty good chance to have a nice afternoon of skiing and use a tow 'to get back up to the top of the hill. It is the most popular hill on the campus.

Sometimes a master will take a group of boys down to the Pinnacle.

They are the boys that like the steeper slopes and do not mind walking back up the hill for another run.

New Kitchen Mr. Clancy has been working busily on new plans for modernizinz the kitchen. Hf· doesn't want to tell to much because he v;ants everyone to be surpirsed when they see it. II€ did say that the new plans call for accomodations £.or 160 persons. A glass wall will separate the dining room from the kitchen. This will lessen the noise and confusion when waiters are waiting in line to be served.

The kitchen half will consist of a newer and larger dishwasher, better and bigger storage spaces for dishes and silverware and a new walk-in deep freese. He wouldn't confide in us any more than that so I guess we have something to look forward to next year when the plans . will have been completed. The work is to be done during the summer session.

Challenging Increase To Fund Early in February a dramatic event took place in the Fourth Annual Fund affairs·. An anonymous donor, very much ir.~erested in Cardigan and its future uffered to give $100 for every 1 % of Alumni participation of givmg over last year's 3%. At the time this offer was made thic. year's .'\lum'ni participation was less than 2%. Toby Kravet, '56, Chairman of the Alumni Committee for Fotirth Annual Fund sent a letter to his group in midFebruary, explaining thi5 offer. Since his· letter was sent out enough Alumni gifts h&.ve come in to raise the percentage of participation from 2% to 4%. Since it takes only five gifts to raise pr:rcentage of participation 1 % , it will be possible to show a really remarkable percentage hike . Such an unusual opportunity should be supported 100% ! See the article on Fourth Annual F'nnd foi- list of Alumni who have given, to date.

· Alumni Directory At Printers Material for an Alumni Directory l.,; at the printers. Sometime between spring vacation and Commenc.ement the Alumni will be receiving a copy of this new Directory. It has the names and addresses (corrected to February 19, 1960) of all the boys · who have ever been registered at Cardigan, as well as names and addresses of former Staff members.

This is the fir.st Alumni Directory ever presented. If it is of service to you in keeping in touch with old friends at Cardigan, it serves its purpose well. Since the expense of the Directory's production was not inconsiderable, the names of all prese nt students and staff ar·e included in this first issue, that it might be up to date that much longer.

Ski Team Challenges Rival Schools This years ski team has had a very busy schedule. So far we haYe had ski meets with Proctor Academy, K. U. A. , Dublin, Vermont Academy and Holderness.

Our first meet was with Proctor on January 16, and it was divided into two parts. It was a very close meet with Proctor leading with .34 of a point for the first part. The second part, held on February 24, showed that Proctor was still the victor and proved too much for our team. In the two matches we beat Proctor in the jumping and slalom; the:, won the cros<; country and downhill. Final scores for the meets were: Proctor, 380.45 and for CMS 386.71 Our second meet was scheduled with K. U. A. This was also divided into 2 parts with the first part held on February 3. We topped K.

The second part of the meet was held on our campus on March 2 with the downhill and slalom being the events held. Downhill was the first event for the afternoon. KUA had the lead over ns for the 1st half of the meet, but we proved too much for ttem in this part of the meet. Hamilton, Barker, Cobb, and Dav~nport took the 1st 4 places in the downhill to nose out KUA. The Slalom was held on our new slope. Skiing conditions was fasi, and w,~ were able to take this event with ease. Barker, Hamilton, Davenport, and Lincoln took the top 4 places in this· event also . We captured the entire meet with a 27 point lead over KUA. KUA suffered one loss when G. Mann failed to make a turn on the downhill run and slid into a tree fracturit,g a leg.

We journeyed to Hoiderness school for a three ~ ay meet with Holderness playit,g the hosts to St. Paul's school and CMS. We came in 2nd in the slalom and 3rd m the giant slalom.

Totals for the 2 part 4 event meet with HoldP.rness was CMS 376.20 and Holderness 381.81.

Bromly - Ski Holiday Choice

Ski Trips Enjoyed

At 8:30 p.m.., February 22, a bunch of puzzled i)oys went to their dorm meetings_ We were puzzled because dorm meetings are usually held at 9:CO 1;.m. every Monday night. We seated ourselves arouno. the dorm leaders and then came the announce· ment: "Tomorrow, weather permitting, is ski holiday." No one ca" begin to describe the noise, che1::rs and excitement that followed. A list of rul ... s wac: read that each of us had to comply wit.h and then the rest of the evC'ning before lights out we were allowed to get our ski clothes ancl equipment m order for the big trip the next day.

The next morning the faces, no longer puzzled, went to breakfast at 7: 10 with wild excitement. Everyone waB ctressed in ski clothes, New, vh id, colored stretch pants appeared and b:dlliant ski sweaters was the uni. form of the day. The only thing that bothered us was, '"Where are we going?"

The buses arrived and we wen: on our way by 7: 45. Still no destinat10n had been mentioned. lV[any of us tried to guess which resort we would go to. Since the masters would not tell us where we were going, we tried to get out of them how far we were · go;nf or how iong we would be on the road. Tom Hamilton thought of Bromly, but he dismissed it a5 too far fetched. Little did he know row right he was. We arrived at B["omly about 10:00 a.m.

The snow conditions were very goad, but some of the inexperienced boys found the mogles hard to cope with. We had a wonderful time. A few pairs of s!ds were broken, a few leg muscles were pulled, but no one was seriously hurt or injured. Lady Luck was on our side.

At 3:30 we started back to school a tired but happy bunch of skiers.

The bus wa!:l 1uieter and the faces no longer were lit up with excitement but rather with tin,d, satisfied expressions of a day well spent. So ended our ski holiday until next year.

This winter some of the masters have ta"::e:n some of tile boys here on campus· for a free afternoon of skiing on the Dartmouth Ski Ways . What a treat. They usually leave about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and get back to school about 4.

While at the Ski ways we must ski in pairs so we can help each other when something happrns The skiing has been excellent, and the facilities are a delight. It is really something to look forward to if you haven't been there yet. To Mr. Linn; Mr. Thompson, Mr . Wakely and Mr. Wexler go our heart felt thanks for taking us along on such an outing. It is greatly appreciated.

New Ski Slope Christened The new slope which is located on the north-east side of the Pinnacle is in good condition for skiing. The slope has been packed many times before anyone was allowed to ski on it. The winter come fast and furious and the work of last fall was interrupted by snows. Many rocks and stumps, which take a lot of snow to cover are still sticking out of the snow. These have been well marked by poles so anyone skiing the new slope will miss them. The ski team has been among the priviledged few that has been allowed to use the slope. They have moved their slalom poles over to this slope for practice.

The work of the students, who helped clear this part of the hill for skiing, is certainly being appreciated by the ski team. When you are driving up from Canaan and chance to look in a North-eastern direction yoL can see the big, wide trail that has been cut.

G- W Ski Meet Successful This year the Green and· White Teams enjoyed a ski meet on February 16, 1960. It was a big success and we got a chance to see many of our skiers in action. It was a tough course for many of our 1st year skiers, tnd cetrainly was a challe,nging one for our ski team member!:> that participated in the meet.

Mr. Wakely was in charge of the meet and M. Davenport and Mr. Leavitt set up the conr:ie. Mr. Thomp . . son a<:s'istP,d by D. Rawstron were the starters anrl Mr. Lary wa" the official time keeper. F . Johnson, T. Harris, and D. Easter took turns on the phones and announcing · the times to the rest of the stud~nt body.

It was a cold blistering day on the Pinnacle where the race was held, but the spirits were very high. About 2:00 the first racer came flying down the hill, through the slalom flags, and stopped short of the trees at the bottom of the hill. Many of the boys took spills on the course, but the times ranged down from 34 seconds which T. Hamilton made for the Green team.

M. Davenport, J. Hinman, B. Fenn and J. Christy made some good times for the Green team also. In first place for the white team was B. Thompson followed closely by E. Upson, and B. Lincoln.

Some of the boys that did not take part in the meet were the gate keepers under the supervision of Mr .. Hulbert. The Green Team overwhelmed the White t~am, but I think the White team is about due to have a day of victory for themselves . Good Luck boys.

-F. Johnson

Sweaters Ordered Eight new sweaters have been ordered for the ski team members from Gummer-Clark and Company, Keene _, New Hampshire. They are due to arrive in several weeks.

The sweaters are dark green ·with a V neck outlined by a one inch white V stripe. Around each sleeve of the sweaters there are two one-half inch stripes.

These sweaters are school property and will be worn by the team when we are competing against rival schools here or aw:1y from the campus. They wHl certainly add a lot to the appearance of our tec.m.
