Wheel of Knowledge This year, the library is under the supervision of Mrs. Burbank and Robert Rosselli and it has been a very successful year. The various- students, who have charge of the different class study halls, teach the other boys how to use the library and the reference books available. There have been new additions this year including a magazine rack, a new card catalogue and a very popular paper back book rack. A new Life Nature Series is also available, to show us many different regions. The most popular of all are the "paper backs". Every student is interested in this particular item, and, ·thanks to Mrs. Burbank, a new shipment arrives every week : Gradually, as one might suspe-et, the "hard backs'' are getting dusty on the shelves. This has been a good year in the _library with its many new additions and improvements. Yet there are always some boys who never remember to bring back their books. Robert Rosselli '63
Campused The scholastic standards committee has been the deciding group on scholastic matters at C'lVIS for several years . It has, in the past, had the power to put boys on Scholastic Warning or Scholastic Probation, both of which are outlined in the Student Handbook, or even remove them from Cardigan; for scholastic reasons. This year, a new weapon has been given to the committee, in the form of Academic Campus. This is, as the name implies, confinement to campus, for reasons inv,o lving studies. Boys, whose numerical effort marks, are in the •o pinion of the committee, far below their potential, are subject to it. Boys are removed from Academk Campus only when their marks and above ,all, their eff·orts, are satisfactory. At first, many boys on the list, griped and complained instead of doing something about their dubious position. However, as time went on, many came to understand and (Continued on page 2.)
The Cardigan Mountain Summer School Program has two purposes. The first is to help a boy along i'n his academic standing in Math and English. The other is to give him the feel of the great outdoors. The program is open to any boy who has completed the fifth grade but not yet entered the tenth grade. The morning class program consists of classes and a study hall. Each class ,c onsists ·Of only five or six boys. A "How to Study" course ·is given in the Study Hall, at the start fo the summer, to help the boys get the most from their work. After lunch every day they have study hall, after which each boy has three activity periods; one of which is swimming. The other two activities are of his own choice. He may choose tennis,- sailing campcraft, riflery, archery, canoeing and row boating. The recreational equipment includes, a woodshop, a rifle range, ,a thletic fields, a large swimming area, sail boats and ,c anoes. The evening schedule includes four nights of reading, two nights of •o ut door activities and on Saturday night we have movies. Summer school is only eight weeks long but has been very helpful to many boys and the activities are lots of fun! This year Summer School opens on June 30th and ends August 24th. Robert Koch '64
Cold Brick Yesterday, knowing that few of the students have been inside the new Chapel, I took the opportunity to walk through it with Mrs. Burbank. Passing under the steeple and· into the interior we walked on a cushion of sawdust through an anteroom with several doors leading off on each side into the main part of the upper floor. Filling the gloom of this room was a large scaffo!Gling that resembled a giant jungle jim. The walls were being plastered by (Continued on page 2.)

Dorm Cabinet
Rotate
School government at Cardigan is serious business. The Chronicle hopes in each issue to bring your attention to the various branches of our Cardigan government. Dorm Cabinet consists of all the Dorm Leaders, the School Leaders, and a staff advisor. Jt meets every Monday after lunch to discuss "developments" in the dorms and on Campus. The spirit and vitality of this group has been caught by these notes of Mr. Linn (sitting in for Mr. Wakely), which were read at the Tuesday Staff Meeting. "Mr. Wood was guest. "Need for a Lost and Found Department was cited, but John Knox asked that this be put off until next meeting. "Kirby Whyte directed a question at me regarding difficulty of heating Clark-Morgan. Asked if I had experienced great difficulty. (Mr. Linn had been Dorm Master of CM last year) Wally suggested that Kirby get together with Mr. Wood (Dorm Master) so that Mr. Coutermarsh could be apprised. Hope that Kirby did talk to Mr. Wood inasmuch as he was laboring under several misapprehensions - i. e . that if it is cold all you have to do it turn the thermostat way up and that if Mr . Coutermarsh does not like this it means he has dark machinations against the general health within the Dorm. "When asked if I had any thing I wished to belabor I cited my conversation with Mr. Wakely in which I asked about the origins and backgrounds of the prevailing rule that if a boy fails to sign the sign out sheet then his punishment is automatic. Mr. Wakely and I had r ecollection of how this came to the practice. However, at _this point I was inform-e d that Mr. Wakely and I had short 1 .emories and that this angust body had voted in the Tule this very year, and it should in effect. still be the law of the land - I'm still not sure." Cardigan Documents Office
It all started when one of our trusty dorm leaders, at a Dorm Cabinet meeting, asked Mr. Wakely w:1en the rotating system would begin. A little amazed and humored, the other members of the cabinet said; "Gee , what are ya crazy, it's only a w:e ek after Christmas vaca·tion. The rotation system doesn't start for a couple of weeks and besides we have more important thinj:s to do." Well, after a little research by our school leader, we found out our next meeting that we were already a week behind schedule. With this in mind, the dorm leaders brought back to their respective dorms the schedule and from there, the Dormitory Council had the task of picking the boys who were to try out for the positions of assistant floor leaders, dor leaders and school leaders. Those who were chosen, by their Dorm Council, started out as assistant floor leaders, then they will move on to floor leaders and so on, to school lead,e r. However, after each boy has completed a step, his Dorm Council evaluates him, and if the Council feels that he is capable of handling a higher position, the boy will move on. The purpose of this rotation system, is to give boys a chance to try out for the different leadership positions. It also gives the boys in the entire school, a chance to see the different boys try out, so that when it comes to voting, they have a better chance to judge the boys . . Bob Effinger '63

How'd you break your leg, Pete'?
A Typical Day With Mrs. Carlson Today is February 22, 1963, just another day for Mrs. Carlson, Cardigan's nurse , who lives in the infirmary. When she awoke, she went to check -on her patients. At 7:20, she went to the dining room for breakfast, after which she went to the dispensary, as she does after ead1 meal. Here she takes care of the boys' colds and minor ailments such as cuts, bruises, sore feet and gives to certain boys their daily pills. After dispensary, she takes food to the patients in the infirmary. On this particular day, she took Peter Stinson, who has a broken leg, up to classes. Later she brought a report into the office. When she returned to the infirmary, she called Dr. Dinerman for an appointment for several boys. Then back to one of her patients, who has a broken leg also, to give him a make up test in Science. After the test, Mrs. Carlson assisted her patient, Boh Monsted upstairs to the Harrimans' apartment .where Mrs . Harriman gave •him his _LT _lesson. While ,this lesson was ·in progress, she went to pick up ·her laundry. Then Bo b was ready ·to_·return· to his bed. By now, it was lunch time; t hen the dispensary again and lunch for "her patie nts. After serving them, . she was off to Dr. Dinerman's to keep ·the appointment she had made ·~arlier: When she returned to the infirm. ary, she wrote several letters to ~parents, ' aftet which, she went to . dinrier, . dfspensary, etc .

Chalk marks on one wall indicate the shape of a long fireplace which will look towards Mt. Cardigan through the huge picture-bay windows that were now opaquely smothered by a 1\heet of plastic film snapping against the rou gh outer brick.

The Student Council This year's Student Council has been faced with a wide variety of problems. For instance, there is the present problem of deciding whether or not to incorporate the use of a student plow crew to plow ,s now and to do odd jobs on week ends, when the maintenance crew is off duty. The biggest question is, whether or not Cardigan boys would be mature enough to handle the school tractor and the snow blower.
Language Lab
Critics of the Honor System maintain that the boys at Cardigan are too immature to handle the added
responsibilities. Advocates of it state that the added responsibilities would have a maturing effect on most students ! Other functions of the Council are to elect chairmen for committees and to approve the members of these committees. This year's budget has also been increased'; thanks to profits from the coke machine and to a week of desertless meals. Many charitable institutions have been given donations from this income. The policy of inviting eighth graders to attend the meetings has been continued for the ·purpose of familiarizing prospective leaders with the operation of the Council. This year's officers are: Rick Hosley, chairman; Dick Bell, secretary and Terry Baker, treasurer. Many thanks to Mrs. Burbank for preparing our refreshments every week. Also many thanks to Mr. Burbank for his patience in advising the Council. It is because of his help that this organization has b een effective and successful. Terry Baker '63
Winter Dance
Spring
Another major problem confront· ing the Council, is the question of an Honor System. This has been under consideration for a number of years and research is still being done. A letter has been sent to Proctor Academy for information about their system, and teachers at Cardigan who have had' experience with such an honor system are being questioned about it in order to discover what it consisted of and how successful it was .
On 9 February, Saturday night, the boys in grades 8 and 9 were privileged to, attend the Winter Dance held in the Hinman Audi· torium . When 7: 30 rolled around, the girls started to arrive. By 8:00 there were only 10 girls. Due to the heavy precipitation (in other words, snow) the rest of the girls couldn't make it. The poor girls who were there were dead tired after dancing so much.
I like to fly my kite in Spring, The winds of March always bring· A wind so strong, that by and by My kite gets lost in the sky. The wind brings a torrent of rain and sleet For Spring is never half so sweet As one can dream it in his sleep. Bob Blake '65
In the past few years, a new idea has been introduced in schools across the nation. This idea is the language lab, where by the use of tape recorders and intricate wiring systems, a student may learn to speak a language with the exact-· ness of a person who has been speaking the language all his life. This is something few teachers can do all the time . Through tne use -o f tapes of the A.L .M. (Audio, lingual method) which we are using this year at Cardigan, an increased proficiency in the language can be acquired. These tapes are recorded by experts, who set up drills aimed at improving one's use of the language. Learning a new language effectively is like learning to play an instrument; you must develop an ear and tone. A good l,anguage lab consists of individual booths with tape recorders, head phones and a microphone for each student. The teacher's master control panel should have a switch system, whereby he can listen to the students and talk to them individually or collectively. The teacher plays an instruction tape to the students and they listen with their head phones, then the students recite into their indi• vidaul microphones and tape recorders. The booths are sound proof, to minimize the noise of the student's recitation. This method increases drill time and' enables the teacher to iron· out any problems or errors more quickly. Wick Moses '63.
The next morning the Dance Committee decided to hold another dance the following Saturday night. We were very glad that the girls who were called came at last. I think that the second went over better than any dance we have had . I think the boy who had the most fun was R.H. Positive, who was really enjoying himself! All in all on behalf ,o f the Dance Committee and all the masters and masters' wives who helped with decorations and all, I would like to say that this dance as a whole was THE GREATEST!

Hockey: A Winning Season 'Wreek' Skiing Recreational skiing is, as most know, ideally suited to Cardigan's environment. This winter began quite well with a fair amount of snow and pretty good conditions. However, warm weather depleted the snow level and we were soon skiing on, or perhaps I should say in . a mixture _of snow, mud, stumps and rocks. We did get a heavy snowfall, however, then everyone grumbled about packing. Conditions were good after all packing was done, so all - ·that energy wasn't wasted in vain. The purpose of the ski program here is merely to teach non-skiers to ski and to further the ability -o f those already able to ski. To do this effectively, the boys are divided into five groups - A, B, C, D, and E. These groups are under the able supervision of Mr. Cutting, · and seem to be as efficient as possible with a group of this size. The non-skiers started in "E", where they learned the basic essentials of skiing, then ·passed on to the other g:mups, hopefully! Those lucky enough or skillful enough graduated altogether and went into assistant instructing to serve six periods, then on to advanced skiing. ·
Our first three games fell to the overpowering CMS Hockey team: Tilton - 6 to 2, Holderness - 7 to 2, New Hampton - 4 to 1. The Tilton game was the first game. We skated hard and fast! Their team only had two penalties on them but there was no team spirit. The next game with Holderness was all right. We didn't have any penalties. The next day we played New Hampton. They had a good team and all of their players were good skaters. In the beginning, Wick Moses scored a goal, then New Hampton scored a goal. That's when both teams opened up and gave all they had. For almost one period of good, clean hockey, both teams were scoreless. Then Bruce Hartnett scored a goal, which made the score 2 to 1 in our favor. In the last period, we scored two more goals, one by Joe Hallowell
In order for the boys to go on ski trips, or use the rope tow on Clancy Mountain they must have graduated from class D, as that is where they learn to turn and stop. '.i'his year all things eonsidered, has been a very good one with much snow and cold weather. Dick . Bell '63
What did you say was in the soup?
and another by Tino Langfeld, · on his stomach. He just pushed the puck into the goal! The game was the best we ever played and there was only one penalty against us for delaying the game. I hope our undefeated season keeps going. You can see by the other team's low score that, our goalie, Rick Hosley, has been doing a terrific job. Credit is also due to our good defense . Hockey won 4, lost 2, one to go. Captains Danny Burack '63 and Rick Hosley '63. Bruce Hartnett '64

Court
Quality Care
Court is a place where problems of a more serious nature are dealt with . These are usually- problems that are too big for the Dorm Council or t•oo small for the Headmaster to settle. No one goes to court unless he is guilty; so the court is not really a court, but in effect · a board, through which a group of boys attempt to make the punis11.._ment fit the crime. · The court consists of Mr. Linn and members of the Student CounciL Mr. Linn acts as faculty advisor. The chairman and four other boys ask que_stions; a Dorm· Leader is the prosecutor. Big and little punishments are handed out depending on the case. The court helps the boys to better understand the rules and regulations of the s,chool. One form of punishment is a work detail, which means a boy . will do work around the campus for the good of the school. Along with the work detail a boy may be "campused" (not allowed off campus). Visiting other dorms or other students' rooms is also prohibited. The length of time or period of punishment, depends on the seriousness of their "crime". Joe Hallowell '63

WON 2 LOST 4 Our Ski Team started the year poorly. In our first : i:1eet, we lost to Holderness by 12 points. Then we had a ski meet here with KUA, where we won only by a margin of one point, but these two meets were only half -over-. Our next -meet was at New Hampton and we lost bv 60 points, because they had 100 per· cent in slalom and downhill. The next meet was at Proctor and we took 99. 8 per cent of the jump: ing, but we didn't do so well in X-C . In the Alpine meet with Proctor we won by 58 points. Away at Vermont Academy we lost the meet when they scored 100 per cent on X-C . In our second meet with V .-- A. we won 394.1 to 381.5, giving us sweet revenge. Our final defeat was to Holderness, 352.7 to 377.3. Co-Captains for the year are Bret Douglas and John Hart. Greg Hine '63 BLOOD Hunting?

Our scene is the faculty children going on the warpath, as they usually do five minutes before they get out of Child Care. Child Care is ·one of the many official jobs that a student at Cardigan may elect. The equipment one needs to be a child tender consists of, courage, willpower, speed, brains, shiftyness, sylness and an excellent pair of shin-guards. Meeting in shifts of two days on and one off, for six evenings a week, the boys have to keep the little children somewhat quiet and out of major trouble. Meanwhile, the parents are two doors away, quietly sipping coffee and enjoying the company of the rest of the faculty. At times, it is almost an impossible job; a real challenge ! ! !

The b oy.s who made models spent most of their .free afternoons at the shop, working on their models. The price range •o f the real shelters built with everything the boys had in them, would be from $250.00 to $1,000 .00. The boys had pretty ingenious ideas about what to build shelters with.
