This is the time of year when the heart of man rises up with new hope, new inspiration, new faith, and love. This is the time of year when eternal light is acknowledged in the s•o ng of the carolers, the pealing of the bells, the exchange of love and good will. May this spirit ever remain with us all throughout each day of the year! 'May this s-pirit be the supreme expression of what abides forever in our hearts. The Chronicle staff wishes you - our parents, friends, alumni, benefactors, trustees and readers - a holiday filled with the freshness of new understanding and me aning. Paraphrasing the words of Charles Dickens' Tiny Tim, we say to you: "God bless you, everyone!"
It was dark and bitterly cold, yet the neon lights of the alley bars shone like diamonds off every falling snowflake. A deep grunt and a chorus of horse laughs choired ,together. A middle-aged Santa Claus with dangling beard and rumpled red suit came sliding out of the swinging doors, landing head first on a soot-covered snowbank littered with beer cans. He lay ·t here for a moment and then looked up and saw two small, naked, dirty legs with bare white feet. He raised his eyes and saw a little girl with the remains of a dress on her. Her hands were white with · cold and her grimy face surounded by frazzled hair added to the grotesqueness of the figure. She looked at him quizzically and then asked him why he was not with his reindeer. He sat up and pushed his beard into place. He noticed the sparkle in her eye and searched his · brain for an appropriate answer. He said he had been delivering packag.e s and had tripped and fallen. With growing excitment, she asked if she would get a present, too. The man sat · back and wondered what he could say this time. He said "Yes" and asked where she lived. Her head turned slowly and she looked up past the gar,b age cans and the black brick slum buildings and said she had no home. He asked her where her parents were and she replied she had none. He knew he had no present to give her for he himself was, a beggar and could only get occasional jobs. He reached a freezing hand into his (Continued on page 3)

Carol Sing
December Moon
Sunday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 .p. m . The Assembly of God was host to the Methodist Church in Canaan. A Christmas Carol Sing was enjoyed by the two churches. The Rev. William J_ Davis read the Christmas story and led the Invocation. The boys' choir from the Cardigan Mountain School for boys presented several numbers. Refreshments were served after the program.
There is a full moon this week, the December moon, which will light the sky almost as lon,g as the sun did on the longest day last June . Thus do we begin to square the year's accounts. The sun now is a sluggard at dawn, a hurrying fugitiv e at dusk, but the full moon makes brief amends with fifteen hours of brilliance. True, this winter moon does not linger in its fullness, as did the Harvest Moon. It hurries, like th ~ winter wind. And it is a cold moon, a mittens-and-muffkr moon to which few love songs have ever been written. It is an owl-hoot moon, glittery and frost-spangled, a moon that makes the countryman appreciate his fireside. But for a few nights it dims the stars and makes its own magic with the world. Shadows lie deep and dark. Naked maples are gray ghosts, and birches are giant icicles, wrong end up, on the hillside. The hemlocks are a flock of great black birds huddled in the night. Venus, so brilliant in the west at sunset, dims her light and sinks behind the hills. The winter moon is not a · warm and friendly neighbor in the sky. It is co1d as the polar ice cap , remote as Arcturus. But it pays -- the debt we owe for June. It clears the year's accounts. - New York Times The Staff of Th e Ch1'onicle. urges you to patronize our advertisers when you are in our community.
Winter Dance Th e second dance of the school year was held Saturday night, Dec. 11, in the school's dining room which was gaily decorated with the Chr,i stmas season's motif arranged by John 0 . Gilbert, Roland T. Welsh, William C. Calder, Leigh W. Morrell and F . Winson Rowe. Refreshments were in charge of D. D. Dickie and Robert E. Manley. John Sullivan did the name tags.

The chaper ones were Mr. and Mrs. William Burget, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kiberd, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Yaggy, Mr. and Mrs,. Daniel Hazen and Mr. and Mrs. Nor man Wakely. All plans were under .the direction of Mrs. Daniel Hazen.
By the time you receive this issue of the Chronicle we will have had our annual Christmas eve service and the boys will be at home for the holidays. It is a time for all to give thanks. We at Cardigan thank you parents for allowing your sons to be with us. To you all, we want you to know how much we a,p preciate your continued interest in Cardigan. One of the hymns the choir sings has a thought that I would like to share with you : When the day is dark and dreary, and your way is hard to find, Don't let your heart be weary, just keep this thought in mind; It is better to light just One Little Candle than to stumble in the dark1 Better far that you light just One Little Candle, All yo u need's a tiny spark. If we'd all say a prayer that the worl d would be free, The wonderful dawn of a new day we'll see, And if everyone lit just One Little Can dle, What a bright world this would be. May yo ur holidays be most enjoyable.

Gift of a Pauper (Continued from page 1) pocket for just something, anything; even a trinket would satisfy this poor orphan's wants. He felt past his package of cigarettes, his few coins, and his fingers landed on his cigarette lighter. At first he said "No" to himself, it was too good. Then he looked up into the pleading eyes and grimy face_ of a little girl with no future. "What the heck," he thought, "Give the kid a chance in life. I had mine and ruined it, but she may not. I can always bag another lighter anyway." He brought it out and placed it shining in the ice-like hands. At first she looked at it and then turned it over and over in her hands. She looked at it with a mixture of pride and joy and placed a wet kiss on his cheek. He laughed and showed her how to work it. Soon she was turning the dial and watching the flame dance from the string. He got up and started to walk away. He looked behind him and winked at the little girl. She smiled back and walked in the opposite direction into the alley and darkness. The night grew painfully colder and the little girl watched her flame, not noticing the numbness that coated her small body. She sank down into the snow wa-tching the flame as it jumped and then lowered. She could not move now, but her little hand gripped the lighter tighter than before. The snowflakes continued their downward journey, not noticing the figure with the diminishing flame. Her eyes gazed at the small flame and then she thought of Santa Claus and a smile spread across her face. As the flame grew smaller and flickered out, her eyes followed and closed forever. The snow slowly covered the small feet and continued upward to the smiling face . Richardson Cook
The Library Year's end report, 1965. From: the school librarian. To: Mr. Wakely. I just don't know where to begin: We've had nothing but failure since school began this fall. In the first place, this pre-Christmas rush is the same as usual. Deadlines for term reports and papers are due and the kids are crowding in during all hours to get theirs clone. We can't keep·up with their schedule. We'd have to be here 24 hours a day. But •t hat's really not too different from the rest of the year. What with new books coming in all the time and teachers getting daily brainstorms on materials they need, it's reached the point where the boys have had to conclude they aren't the only people who use our resources. We've had to divide our library time between the students and s,taff and sometimes it's not very evenly distributed. And then there's the problem of just which boys use the library. I had hoped to be able to give you a precise accounting of our patrons but they are never a constant group. We keep looking up to find an "outsider" has wandered in. No doubt he's there to look at the new books on guns or a Radio Shack catalog, but even so, things can get pretty crowded sometimes. And then there's the business about displays. We no sooner put up one display in the window or on the bulletin board when a "browsermaybe-reader" wants to look over the things we just put on exhibit. We have to change fairly often just to keep things in the window. And as far as paperbacks are concerned-we are always running out of stock to sell from our salesrack. We've had a brisk business from both student requests and required class reading. It seems our boys would rather stuff their reading into their
Christmas Star Parents' Weekend FEBRUARY 26, 1966
The Christmas Star, the great light in the heavens over Bethlehem, may have been a natural phenomenon. Scientists point out that Halley's Comet was close to the area in 11 B. C. Others believe the star may have been a nova, a star that suddenly increases its brilliance a hundred-, even a million-fold. Or it could have been a conjunction of planets. Records show that Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars were in conjunction about the time of Christ's birth in 7 B. C., and_again in 8 B. C.
back pocket to pick up whenever they can. And we've noticed they are using their own paperback reference collections in the dorms quite regularly, too. We have noticed some small success in the hardbound paperbacks which· we purchased for additions to our shelves. They look like paperbacks and are the same size, •b ut they ai;e more durable and the boys take to them quicker than the same book in a regular hardcover edition. Right now, some of our 20- volunteer library assistants are putting the finishing touches to paints on our annual Christmas window. But after vacation, they'll come back to find that all gone and a new look to the library itself. We're having •t he walls painted a mellow gold and green wall-to-wall carpeting installed. We may even move the stacks around a little. And then, we have to find a place to put that guinea pig's cage. "George Washington" was purchased by the science department but library assistants have found themselves doing a bit of cage-cleaning now and then. As you probably know, we're behind schedule in new books in French but Mr. Hough is working wi-th us and additions are coming in slowly but surely. And new reading books for our language training students are ,b eing read before we can catalogue them. As you can see, there really hasn't been too much routine. in our operation this year. Maybe we'll get- organized in the next few weeks. If not, I guess we'll have to settle for the "status quo." P.S. The book you wanted me to get for your •w ife's Christmas stocking has finally arrived. It's hidden under the aquarium in your office. -

Chaplain's Corner The last few days have been pretty busy around Cardigan. And exciting. After all, who wouldn't be excited with three weeks of glorfous freedom from routine and pressure s.taring him in the face? Christmas is fast a'pproaching, and there are certainly reminders enough that it is on the way: myriads of red and yellow lights against the green of the Cardigan Christmas tree in the quadrangle, Christmas. music pouring out of the carillon, festive decorations in the dorms and dining room, last minute preparations for dorm parties., and the fragrant smells pushing their way out of the kitchen from Clancy's Christmas, dinner preparations. Christmas means these things and more, too; for if there is nothing more to it than this-, it is, to quote your favorite literary hero, "much ado about nothing." Before we leave our Christmas service, rush back for parties, and cram that last item into our suitcase before grabbing the bus, perhaps we would do well to consider what exactly is the something more that Christmas means. There is nothing more frustrating to a teacher-or to a chaplain than to have a student miss the point; yet that is what I am afraid most of you will do, simply because you are concentrating on the wrong things. Christmas is a time of giving, but most of you will be more concerned with what someone has done for you or can give to you. If Christmas means anything at all, it is a time when God tried to enter the world and was turned away be-
cause the •w orld had no room for him. To put it in another way, Christmas is a time when we remind ourselves that goodness, love, consideration of others, and giving of ourselves, are the things which really matter but are usually squeezed out of our lives .because we are too busy, or have no room, or just don't care. If we take Christmas s.e riously, it points us beyond ourselves to concern for those who need our friendship or our concern. Most of us will have little occasion to he1p someone else who really needs help (unless indirectly through the Student Coun-cil's gifts to the less fortunate). We can, however, show the · spirit of Christmas by demonstrating some real concern for those that we live with and work with, both at home and at school, so that every day b~comes a reliving of the Christmas spirit. You needn't take all this very seriously, though. Very few people do. A. G. Broadhurst "For all the blessings of the year For all the friends we hold so dear For pea,ce on earth both far and near. We thank thee Lord'." Early 17th Century hymn
Yule Log Almost every country has its tradition about a Yule log. Northern Europeans preferred fruit woods; some insisted on ash or oak; and Scottish people, birch. In almost every case, the log was large - as large as the burning space would permit. In some areas, logs with roots still attached were preferred. Even collecting and bringing in the log had its special ceremonies. Robert Herrick (15911674) wrote these lines:
Come, bring with a noise, My menie, menie boyes, The Christmas log to the firing . . Oftentimes, a bit of the log was kept over to light the following year's log.
A Christmas Carol Everywhere, everywhere Christmas tonight! Christmas in lands of the fir-tree and pine, Chr~stmas in lands of the palm tree and vine, Chnstmas where snow peaks stand solemn and white Christmas where cornfields lie sunny and bright! ' Everywhere, everywhere Christmas tonight! - Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)
Evaluation In late spring near the closing of school there comes a time when you are responsible for the evalua-t ion of your fellow students. The day is known as voting day. You will receive a roster and you will give everyone in the school three ratings. You. will evaluate your fellow students in three areas of school life. They are leadership, character, and responsibility. Examples of leadership are your floor leaders and dorm leaders. Character can be summarized by saying it ,i s the way you act and present yourself to others. Responsibility is your trus·t worthiness when you are given a job which you are expected to complete. · This is a time· when you must be very honest with yourself and forget all hate and friendship. You must carefully think about these persons and as best you can give ,t hem what they rightfully deserve. Jamie might think, "Sam sure hacks around a lot but he's my best friend. I'll give hi~ a five in leadership." This way of thinking is completely wrong. If anything, it should be like this: "Sam is my best friend, but he hacks around too much. I'll give him a two in leadership." When you're evaluating your classmate and you get stumped and do not know what to give him, it might be helpful to compare him to your floor leader or dorm leader. If he has the same outstanding qualities it would be safe to give him rather high _m arks .in leadership, responsibility and character. On the other hand, if he seems to have the opposite qualities, it would be a wise move to give 'him low marks in these three areas. I compliment Cardigan for having this election at the end of each year, _b ecause it not only gives the students the leaders they want, but it is also good practice because when you get older you will need very much to do this with your future classmates to see if they are good enough in your standards to be considered your friends . - Roscoe Ing~lls

Youth
The Real Meaning Of a Holiday
a
He was a small Jewish-Canadian boy about seven years old. His family was quite wealthy and a happy Chanukah was expected. There would be eight very expensive presents over the eight joyous days and the Chanukah lights would shine as bright as ever. Only one problem invaded this young boy's mind. There were two days 'till Chanukah and th e ground was as dry as a bone. Because of this, the rich boy was unhappy. There was another small JewishCanadian boy about seven years of age. His family was very poor, but this poor, religious, Jewish-Canadian boy knew why it was Chanukah and he was happy. A very happy Chanukah was still expected anyway; there would be no presents, and no bright Chanukah lights, and no snow, but this boy was happy. It was the prayer and the rejoicing of the holiday that made him happy. Eight presents would not change this boy's mind. Snow wouldn't change his mind. This boy was happy just to be alive. Alan Weiner
Art Bennett's
Youth is not time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips, and supple knees; it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions . .It is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temp enm :m tal predominance of courage over timidity, of ,t he appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This ofen exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. N o•body grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin;· but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-trust, fear, and despair - these are the long, long years that bow the heart and turn the greening spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the sweet amaz ::ment at the stars and at starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing, childlike appetite for what is next, and the joy of the game of living. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hopes; as old as your des-p air. - Anon

Green and White Green and White is an intramural athletic pro.gram that is basically competitive but offers fun and recreation for each student. Through the Green and White program students and thdr leaders will have the opportunity to learn new. skills and activities, participate as a functioning member of a t eam, coach others, and mak " decisions concerning its governing. Each student is assigned to either the Green or th e White team and may choose the events that they wish to participate in aHhough participation in one of these · activiti es is encouraged. The only · exception to the above rule concerns varsity athletes. A varsity athlete may NOT also engage in the same Gre en and White activity as he participates in, on the varsity level. Ex. A. C. M. S. Varsity Football team member may NOT play Green and White football, but may play soccer, tennis, basketball, etc. if time allows. Schedules of events will be posted well in advance, usually on a term basis. Weekly sign up sheets will be placed on the bulletin board far enough in advance so that last minute confusion should be eliminated. Masters will guide each of the scheduled programs. They are interested in the activity they are supervising and should be quite helpful in making ·t he . event challenging, interesting, and fun. Charles H.

Cardigan's Ski Complex By Theodore F. Linn Senior Master
Much additional grooming of the Pinnacle's slopes and trails has taken place over the past summer and fall. The old North slope has been mown, the down 'h ill trail widened, and a new trail cut as a bypass to the big headwall. The greatest grooming improvements have taken place on th~ New Slope where great quantities of New Hampshire granite have been removed and where many bales of hay have been transported to the sparser regions of the upper reaches. A sturdy edifiee has been erected to house the motor and lower bull wheel of the T-bar and a safety control shed has been erected at the top of the mountain which will command a view of the entire length of cable. The rope tow on Clancy Mountain has been readied, the slope has been landscaped again and the safety devices are in the process of being retested. Much of the credit for these physical improvements in the ski program should go to the boys and masters of both the summer and winter schools who have given willingly of their time and energy in the earrying of hay and hardware and in the carrying off of rocks and roots. These unique ski facilities give the boys of Cardigan Mountain School a splendid opportunity for learning the skills of skiing, competing in healthy sport and having fun in the North Country. Messrs. Linn and Hazen have organized the Recreational Ski Program and they and the boys eage,r ly await early Decembe•r snows. Messrs, Stout, Rouillard, and Nyhus have already started work with the ski team on some aspects of the Nordic events and with additional snow will be able ,to begin the Alpine training.
