SKI TEAM NOTES PINNACLE T-BAR EASY ON MUSCLES . By Dennis Johnson
The Cardigan ski team took part in the first meet of the sel:lson at LaSalette in a giant slalom race on January 13. The snow on the hill was in good shape, a bit crusty at first, but after we packed it out, we had a good amount of granulated snow. The course was pretty fast and there were a few tight gates. We had two runs allowed with the best of the two counting for the score. They had a good team and gave us some competition but in the end Cardigan was ,a head. The racers' standing on the Cardigan base score were Jack Shaner and Frank Simonds, who tied for first; Andy Knitzer, second; Hare Stuart, -third; and J1m W emyss, fourth. Other members of the team inclwded Jon and Mike Sands, Phil Simonds, Jack Fos.ter, Carl Nydegger, Dennis Johnson, Howie Vanderbilt, and Richard Clancy. Also on the teaam are Harr Kayser, Chip Nelligan, John Thaxter, Jim Taylor, Allan Hirsh, and Mark Devine. There are eleven qualified jumpers on the present team and sixteen qualified cross-country runners. Our team coaches, Mr. Hu-lbert and Mr. Rouillard are ass,isted on various days by Mr. · Nyhus. In a recent meet against New Hampton, the CMS base in the giant slalom was Thaxter, first, Vanderbilt, second, Taylor, third, and Mike Sands, fourth. In the S1alom the order was Dennis Johnson, Taylor,
Cardigan's new T-bar ski tow was christened at the Pinnacle on January 7. Mr. Linn had the honor of making the first run on the new slope. The one-thous-and £oot long lift, which is powered ,by a 45°horsepower electric motor, is a tremendous addition to the school's ski program. Both students and faculty have long been awaiting the opening of th is time and effort saving device. This past summer boys began working on the Pinnacle in prep-aration for the installation o;f the tow. The job on the slope was not finished until the day before Chris,t mas recess. On that day, Mr. Wakely called for the student body to he1p clear the rock-strewn slope so the tow would be ready to open after Christmas vac,a tion . So in freezing weather, the students spent the afternoon clearing sticks and rocks, and carrying up bales of hay to be laid on the slope. Though to some it may not have been worth it then, I am sure most boys were happy to go ,g liding down a rock-free slope after Chris,t mas . Many thrilling runs have already been made on the new s1ope so far Thaxter, and Vanderbilt. The remainder of the interscholastic winter sports schedule runs as follows: Feb. 17 - Proctor ( slalom and giant slalom) at Cardigan; Felb. 20 - at Vermont Academy (four events); Feb. 27 - Vermont Academy at CMS (four events); and March 3 - KUA (slalom and giant slalom) at KUA.
this year and one ski meet has been held. There has- been one minor casualty since the chris,t ening " but most of the students have been enjoying great skiing without injury. James Duguid '66
Campus Talent Yields Good Show "Come one - come a-11," :was the cry here on campus last December. December _12, was the day on which a show ( chock-full of widespread talent) was given. The admission fee was 15 cents, and the money w,as used for charity. · The sho-w turned out success.ful1y, under Jim Reswick's direction, for nearly all of the students were present that night. The theme of the talent ,p erformance was a :mixture of humor and seriousness,, and -a lthough many of the acts were collected a day before, they turned out surprisingly well. The major attraction of the night was a skit .b ased on the old television show, This is your Life. Everyone was surprised to find that the life which was represented was that of Mr. David F. Shelton, a teacher here for the past two years-. He was awarded a "duncec-a p" and a wedding ring from the skit. This was follo.w ed by a commercial (which proved to be very funny) and some more acts . All in all, it was an extremely fine show and both the students and the faculty thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Stephen Green '65 1

Do You Recall . . . "As if nature was re.belling against a la,ck of appreciation for all Cardigan was seemingly taking for granted, she struck with. devasting force through the med:um of a hurricane on November 25 , 1950. The Lodge lost the entire roof on the east side .. . . water ran from the roof down ~hree floors to the basement, ruinmg plaster walls . Hap reports that the Sibleys and Stewart Petrie, only members ,of the faculty in residence at th e _t ime, during the Thanks,giving vacation, worked foantically all night to save books, mattress-es, bedding and boys' clothes.
" . . . After the storm had passed the boys seemed little concerned that because of a lack of e:lectrkity all study periods the following Monday and Tuesday nights were canceHed. Hap's one kerosene lamp shone like a lighthouse beam down Canaan Street for two very dark nights.
" .. . Six teachers taught twentysix boys in the year 1946. The Winter semester started out on ,a well esta1b lished routine and over at the Lodge ( on Canaan Street) the Rising Bell s,o unded at 7 a. m. The boys washed, made their ,b eds, fixed their rooms for inspection which might come any day a-t any time. From 8- . 8:30 "school keeping" jobs were assigned for the day. At 8:30 a m breakfast was served. Nine -· te~ forty-five classes were attended. 10: 45 to 11: 00 recess came with milk cookies or crackers a-v,ailahle. 11'. 12:30 more classes. Luncheon hour was from 12:45-1:45. By ·1:45 each boy must be in his room for rest. 2 :45 to 4:30 was given over to supervised afternoon activities. A sp Eicial study hour for those who needed it was set .a side from 4:30-5:30. From 5:30-6:00 was wash-UJp, and dress-up time with the supp.er bell ringfog at 6:00 sharp. Seven to 7:30 was assembly time for the __iwhole sc~ool. 7: 30 to 8: 45 Supervised study m the dining room took place: 9 p . m. light out for a11 except seniors who could have until 9:30 to flick out theirs.
ON RAINY DAYS IN '54, the boys at Cardigan could be found around t_his pool table when the school was located on Canaan Stre~t m the buildings now occupied by the College of Advanced Science. Parts of this table are still on the present ~MS c~mp~s and in daily use. When you are next standing on he patios m back of the Headmaster's House or Proctor House look under your feet and you will find some slate steps that were salvaged from the table top shown above.
" . . . 1946: Our next experiment was the creation of a riding sta·b le. We obtained ,a n ·e xcellent riding master and -five horses ... We soon learned that riding enthusiasm reached its peak during the fall months and that it diminisrhed in direct proportion to_ the lowering of the temperature with the coming .of the winter. Ap,p arently, in ,a ddition to the up: keep, the horses ate us out of house and home. By spring only three or f?ur boys out of an _initial group of ~ifteen showed any recurring interest m horses. So, in the interests of a balanced budget ,we got rid of the'··. horses. " (E:xcerpts from The Cardigan Mountatrt, School History, 1945 to 1960,.·. by Robert C. Hopkins.)

Funny How Things Turn Out Why is it that no matter ho•w hard one tries to mind his own -b usiness, the lives of others are continually thrust in front of him - riots in sub-· ways, murders in dark streets at night? Why are innocent bystanders blamed for trying to stay dear of unnecessay involvement with tli'e ways of life? Such were my thoughts a·s I was walking home .a fter pondering society's behavior. I was just ,going to cross the park, when I saw a disturbing s,i ght out of the ,c orner of my eye. A large man was standing by the edge of ,a bridge, ,b alancing a large marmalade cat in one hand and an equally lar ge brick in the other. His intentions were obvious, not only because of the facts at hand, but also because of his uneasy frequent shifting from foot to foot. For a moment, I didn't know what to do, but I couldn't stand it any longer, s-o I waited _ for an opening in the traffic ,a nd ran to the bridge where I found no sign of anyone, so I walked to the bridge 's edge and looked down at the water. An unusually large pool of rip,ples was flowfog out from a small area of bubbles, every minute lessening in number, but I still saw no sign of the murderer. Then as I turned to go, I saiw him as he ,w alked slowly through the woods, his yellow-orange fur and bushy tail glowing in the evening sunset. - Allan Hirsch '65
Victors Over New Hampton The next game enabled Cardigan to sma·s h New Hampton into the ground with a score 5-2. The five goals were scored by Topper Stone, who s ~ored two, Jake Millik-en, Fran May o and Peter Gardent. The whole team played an excellent game.
The starting line-up has usually been as follows: Gardent, center; Stone, left wing; Mayo, right wing; Hall, right defens~; Milllken, left defense; and Gordon, goalie. The two most frequently used substitutes so far have been Ra binowitz and Tilgham. Alex Luria, Dave Warner, John Ma,rshall, Britt Eustis, Ross Gettel, Rich Cook, and Ted Fay round off the team roster. Cardigan 1
