Thoughts From The Headmaster It is more than a pleasure to be writing to you as Headmaster. Many wonder,f ul things have happened here to make the year very stimulating. Mr. Theodore F. Linn, Jr. , has been appointed Senior Master and will take up residence i,n Proctor House. Mr. Bradfo·r d Yaggy, Jr., has been a•p pointed Director of Studies and Head of French HaH, in addition to his position as Director of Summer School. Both men and their families will move to their new residences during the Thanksgiving recess. On October 4, 1963, our Chapel was dedicated during a very imp,r essive ceremony. An e~cerpt from the closing words o.f ,t he President's address su.mmaDizes the ceremony and its function - "Thus there has been created E·r nest Martin Hopkin's 'House of God,' a Liv·i ng Symbol of Christianity that wi11 breathe Life into the moulding of Cardigan character - and enr-ic:hen the lives of those who worship here - where facilities w,i11 carry a s·p iritual message ,t hrough spoken word and the ministry of music. "God is dose to us tonight here at Cardi,gan among the lakes and hills and mountains o.f New Hampshireso now under the S,p,iDitual Influence of our location and in an immediate atmosphere of reverence, we dedicate this chapel to the Service of Mankind." The SteeDing Committee composed of Mr. Linn, Senior Mlaster, Mr.
Sportsmen Required To Keep Average Up For all o.f us athletic peop1e, Cardigan's Scholastic Standards Committee has put a ne.w ruling into effect this year. This is known as the Ine1egibi1ity Ruling. The rule states that if the masters determiin,e that, during each week, a student is failing a subject and has an effort mark belo-w a C +, or if he is failing two subjects, he will be inelig1ble to represent Cardigan in interscholastic com.petition in fo-otbaH and other sports for the next seven days. As soon as his average c•om.es up far enough for him to be unaffected by this ruling, he will then be able to p,lay. So •b e on your guard and hit the books, sportsmen; we don't want to lose any;body.

From the Editor's Desk: Study Halls Although many o.f you do not realize it, study halls are here to he1p us. Many think that from 7:00 to 9:00 in the evening, they are being tortured and that the floor leaders are only trying to be mean. But contrary to this, the study hall is really a p•r ivile,ge. It is additional time set aside for studying, and studying only. The leaders just try to kee.p the noise down so that the boys who should study can do so. If you use study halls wisely, tlie life you save may be your own. Bob Koch '64 Editor

Mountain Day '63 On the morning o.f October 7, aU the unwary students at Cardigan Mountain School went to their re,gular first period classes. All of a sudden, a voice over the intercom s·aid, "Today is Mountain Day!" :n itself this statement was innocent enou.gh but later on when we saw our objectives, we weren't so enthusiastic. Students were permitted to go on a "ha:rd" or an "easy" mountain. Most people chose the easy mountain and two bus loads ,of students and faculty went to Mt. Kearsarge. The hard mountain, Mt. Moosilauke, \Vas visited by only one busload of eager climbers. We all had an enjoyable time and saw some beautiful scenery. I am looking forw:l'rd to Mountain · Day next year. Mark Dev,i ne '65

The Human Mind T'is built, which it destroys and established what it has doomed. And through its own v,ile apathy lay waste what it hath gr oomed. It 1ives forever yet it hast, always wondered in the past, for genera,t ions and on, it eludes the mercy of those who scorn. Hast shook the earth, hast pierced the skies, , T'is the lock of knowledge at which it pries. It bathes in wit and follies not, this masterpiece which God hath wrought. Graig Rabinowitz '65

Canoe Crewmen Visit Mascoma The cano-eing pro.gram has been quite successful this fall with Mr. Broadhurst as instructor. In this p•rog:-am, many things are taught, including some of the different strokes, how to move in a canoe without tipping, how to make a good landing, and how to propel .a, canoe without paddles. A boy may take a canoe out alone after he has passed all these tests. After three weeks of ins,truction, we went on our first canoe trip on Lake Mascoma. With Mr. Broadhurst flooring the school car most of the way, we attained an incredible sp,e ed of forty-three miles ·p er hour and arrived in Enfield about ·two o'c,lock and put the canoes in the water. We p,a ddled around d'or over an hour with only •one canoe getting stuck on a rock, but had to· race a thunderstorm back. We beat the storm by about fifteen minutes. Jeffrey Woods, '65

Green Team In Front As White Lags Behind In the course of a school year, intramural events arouse the interests of the whole student bodiy. This year being no different than any other, the Green and White elections for team captains aroused quite a bi,t of i:nte-rest. Mike Mosher, student intramural director, handled the elections while Mr. Lary supervised. Ea·r,l y in the year, the student body voted Tracy Noonan as the captain of the Green team and Douglas Johnson as White's captain. Bo,th captains started vight in, since the firs t event w:as the coming week,e nd. Green and White really started out with a bang with soccer. The White team won, but only because the Green was poo-rly represented. The second everut score was tied, so• both teams received five points each. As events roH by, the big Green team fi,ghts to gain victory a.fte•r victory through hurdles, tennis, rifilery and other sports. As it stands now, the score is 30-15, with Green in the lead.

CMS Cougars In Review This yeacr's football season was in a sense successful, al,though •o ur record was held ,to one win against Claremont and a tie with Lebanon as of November 6th. Our first game was against New Hampton. A good ·game was played by all, although we lost 14-6. Next came our first victory against Claremont although o.n e of our best games was against a new team, Leb" anon; they had had an undefea,ted season until they met us. With a fired-up team, Mr. Yaggy's Cougars held them to a ,tie, 6-6. It was a good game, well played by everyone. Thanks goes to Mr. Ya,ggy and to our new coach, Mr. Babcock, for a very good fall of football. Peter Atwood '64 Sports Editor
