In a recent election among the members of the White team, students elected Peter Atwood as their captain for the remainder of the school year. He is a senior, floor leader in Brewster and a member of the Religious Activities Committee and the Student Council.
Taken during the first bake sale of the school year, the above scene shows what our ever-hungry ranks went thriough in March.
After the traditional assembly on the quadrang,le, seniors will march to the chapel ceremonies ,w hich will include the awa~ding of the school prizes and the presentation of diplomas by Mr. Harold P. Hinman. The Chapel choir will also be featured on the program. After the activities in the chapel, a buffet for the graduates and guests will be served.
Rotation System Now in Practice Temporary student leaders are now being given ·a chance to try out their skills in various positions of responsibtlity throughout the school. The yearly rotatton plan for assistant floor leaders, dorm leaders., and school leaders extends the constant effort to offer as many responsiblities to as: many boys as possible and is also a · means of preliminary determination ,o f suitable student leaders for the next schoo,l ye.ar. Under teaching and supervision from the old student leaders and adults, the first to rotate is tihe assistant floor leader. Out otf this group are chosen the best candid,ates for a tempo~ary position as floor leader. The same procedure is followed through for dorm leader and school leader. The temporary leaders ,a re rated on a po,i nt system in the following characteristics: leadership, organizing ability, character, ,popularity, responsibility and initiative. It is felt 1:lhat rating is important bec;ause it focuses our attention on the rotator's performance and focuses their attention on the qualities desired.

It will be another first in Cardigan's history ; the first commencement in our new Ch apel. We hope ea•ch and everyone of you wiU be here for the occasion and to see the progress on our new building. ' To the alumni who visited campus May 2 and 3, we send a cordial "com~again-soon" and to those who couldn't arrange to be here we hope to see you anytime. From all reports we had the best turnout ever-the Headmaster's house was a hotel for those alumni still in secondary schools. Parents' weekend proved to be a wonderful adventure-not only for th~ parents _ but for the sta-f f, also. Seventy-five percent of the boys who were not on weekends had parents here. Thank you, parents, for atte.nding! To everyone who has participated in our eighth Annual Fund, we more than appreciate your support. There are only a couple of months to go and we would all like to see the percentage of contributors make phenonomenal advances. Norman C. Wakely, headmaster Joining seventh grade ranks on campus after Spring Vacation is Stephen Safstrom, formerly from Keene, N. H., but now a resident of Albany, N. Y. Steve is in Hinman Hall.

Freedom Day By Stephen Worcester '64
Today would not be a normal day, Jay knew that. For on the main control panel the screen no longer gave the danger warnings. It said to awake Dr. Morison instead. As Jay thought back, he reaHzed it had been more than five years since Dr. Morison and the colony had been awake. F,r om the direction · of the living quarters he could hear his wife, Perry, making breakfast. She did not yet know of the orders to wake the colony, so he decided to surprise her. He sped over to the " drop-chute" and p,lummeted down to the garden level where he stepped up the growth processes of Hydroponic gardens to feed 135 instead of two. Next he "dropped" to a lower level and unlocked the vault o.f the sleepers. It would take eight hours to gradually unthaw the whole colony, but he could awake the doctor in fifteen minutes. After making sure that the colony was waking, he proceeded to "quick-thaw" the Doctor. As soon as he was awake, the Doctor checked all the instruments and made sure that the outside radiation level was safe. Jay asked, "Do you think we will be able to go outside?" The Doctor said in reply, " I 'm · quite sure we will, but before we do anything we must contact Headquarters and tell them that we are awake." "All right," said Jay. "I'll raise the antennas." "Oh," said the Doctor. "Raise the television monitors, too, and I will have a look at the vegetation while you contact Colony Headqua,r ters.' Raising antennas and the monitors was a difficult mechanical job even for a computer. The myriad layers of shielding had to be opened and the instruments had to be raised through fifty feet of granite and then 900 feet more to the rim of the old quarry. The Doctor e:icclaimed softly as the cameras rose, "The vegetation is doing quite well; in fact, there are several varieties that must he mutant." As soon as the antennas had reached the u.p,per edge ·o f the quarry, Jay started to call Colony Headquarters. "This is Colony number 4 calling CHQ. Come in please."
A reply came immediately, the words of which · shocked Jay. "This is CHQ. Hello in there, Colony number 4; approximately how soon will you be out?" Any comment of Jay's in return was drowned out by Dr. Morison's exclamations at what he saw. As Jay glanced at the TV screen, he said, "Holy Moses! What are they?" "Dr. Morison?" asked a booming voice. "This ·is Commander Everts. One of our scientists has developed a faster-than-light form of propulsion that works on the theory of Ionic Mobilization under an. . . .oh, well, just call it an overdrive! Anyway, we must migrate from Earth." "Where could we go? " demanded Jay. "You see only nine ships on your screen, do you not?" said the commander. "Yes," said Dr. Morison as he and Jay stared in disbelief at the sc-r een that showed the gigantic orbs hanging in the sky overhead. The commander said, "Colony number 7 has found a habitable planet and they are waiting in a p,a rking orbit to lead the way." " But why must we leave earth?" blurted Jay. "You prohably noticed several forms of mutant plants with your monitors ? Well, can you imagine every plant and animal exposed to radiation going beserk and creating more mutants?" "No," said the Doctor weakly. "Wel-1, it's happening!" said the commander. "And it will be centuries before nature returns to normal." The commander also added quietly, "The radiation from the "Holocaust" has le.ft some .areas st~ll glowing. We must leave Earth! " "Will we have to use the Sleep for the journey? How far away is the new planet?" "No you don't have to worry about that; it will be a relatively sho,rt journey.'' "How far away is the planet?" Jay asked again. "Oh roughly 183 -light years away, toward the center of the galaxy." "My god, how long will it take?" the doctor said. "It took, on a test run, five hours for colo.n y number 3 to get to Alpha
Centauri, and the new Overdrive was not performing at optimum speed. So, including the time it will take to choose a p.Iace to land and getting your colony off earth, about twenty days. We wi11 be in Overdrive for fifteen days." "All right," said Dr. Morison, still in disbelief. "We will quick-thaw the rest of the colony and be out before 0800." The Doctor gave one more lrtl.believing look at the monitors and, muttering, stepped into the "dropchute" and ,plummeted down to the sleeping vaults. Before Jay could step in after him, Perry came into the control room and asked, astonished, "Who just went down the dropchute?" "Oh, Perry, I forgot. I'm sonry. The rest of the colonies are out, and we're going to go to a new planet." "But how? Why? Why are we leaving?" she stammered. "Everything on the planet is mutating, and we must leave. A scientist at CHQ has invented a faster-than-light rocket, or force field, o,r something; and we are going as soon as everyone is awake." "Do you mean we are going to be free of earth?" "Yes, today is Freedom day! It took the near-destruction of Earth, and of all but an infinitesimal part of its population, to force us to the stars. Yes, today is Freedom day," Jay said as he stepped off into the drop-chute.
