DECEMBER, 1966
Time of Expansion Cardigan Mountain School has embarked on an expansion program that will include, in the first phase, construction of a new recreation building on the campus, Even while plans for this project were .being developed, a new faculty residence was under -c onstruction and has now been completed by the contractor, E. John Zani of Canaan. Bradford Yaggy, Director of Studies, and his wife and family are living in the fine two-story and basement home whi:ch sits on a hill fronting the campus and in line with the Headmaster's House and, the home occupied by the Senior Master, Theodore Linn, and his family. Also completed is .a log cabin at the foot of Clancy Mountain for the use of skiers this winter. .Mr. Macartney and his ski group cif boys did the work. This is not the least significant building project on campus because the hut wm be fitted with a stove! But October brought the start of major new construction. Representatives of the Connecticut Valley Construction Co., of Springfield, Vt., appeared and soon earthmoving equipment was brought in, long trenches were dug ,across stretches of lawn and alongside the football field. Engineers began taking sights. A foundation was dug. This first part of the recreational complex will includ:e lockers, showers, team rooms, a physical education room and treatment room. The building is scheduled for completion by June, 1967. Then it is hoped that a start can be made on the second phase - a covered sports .area. This would mean a covered hockey rink .and an area suitable for many sports in spring and lfall. The third •p hase - a gymnasium, lobby .and offic'es - would follow. It is recalled that Cardig:an Mountain School has occupied its ·c ampus on Canaan Street ,L ake only since 1955. For the first eight years it was housed in the old -Lucerne llnn on Canaan Stre,et.
In 1955 the student body moved to the campus where stood a remodeled Haffenreffer mansion to serve as a classroom and administration building and two new dormitories, Brewster Hall and Hinman Hall. (Continued 4)
