New CMS Graduates Join Alumni Ranks 'The twenty-first commencement at Oa11digan ,Mountain School was held June 3 in Chapel ceremonies featuri,n g tihe graduation of 48 ninth graders. Former New Hampshi.re govemor, Wesley G. Powell, was guest speaker. An address was also ,gti.ven by Headmaste,r Wakely.

Jerald B. Ne1wton, Board of Trustees cha[11man, iawarded tJhe diplomas and Senior Master Theodore Linn presented awards to deserving students.

Spring Awards Banquet

The Spring Aiwards Banquet was held on Monday nigiht, May 29, 1967.

The evening bega~ wfith a wonderful roast beef dinner serv:ed by our illustl1ious chef, Mr. C'lan:c:y. FollOIW· ing the beautiifol dinner, Biill Calder began the ceremonies as toastmaster. Alan Weiner announced tJhat the senior class bas dedicated itihe yea!'book to Mr. and Mrs. Linn.

To a ,serni,or, graduation was almost unreal, but now, it is history.

It seems that after Spring Recess there ,are some ·c lasses and rthen the last week at Carclii:gan reigns supreme. '11he. -Spring· Aiwards Banquet started >it all. That fell on Green and White Day. 'Dhat ,was a d-ay for total exhaustion and after g•o-team-go, The Week was upon us.

T<his was led off by the final exams which were FI;NAL! T<hey drained every last drop of iwhat we were supposed to have, knowled,ge. This condition is temporary, I hope. Next came rehearsals, ,practices and the Recognition Assembly.

Friday, rthe day before THE DAY, was upon us before ,we knew it. By this time we were •beginning to fee} as Seniors with a ,capital "S." Much to the ddsmay of some, the fathe:-s won tha,t softball game. Let's face it, the fathers outweighed the sons.

The Senior B-anquet will be remembered for several reasons. The unreal feeling still pers>isted, but wihen John Paull began talking about our class offi-cers and members we needed no more reminders that we had arrived. '11hat "six foot red hot tamale" -was one of us. As -were the "gray pell-can from •L ouisiana sent up here for mounta,i n a-i r," and Continued on page 2

A Senior

The Honorarb le Wesley Poiwell, Former Goviern·o r of New Harmp·s hke, delivered the message to the Seniors, guests and other -i n attenid:ance. He resides in Hampton FaHs, New Hampshire and is a laiwyer, businessman and publisher.

His ,p·a st "~perieillC'e is as ri,mpressive as w.:1:: his address. For ten years he vras in Waslh..inrg.ton as assistalllt to Styles :B ridges and as Sta.ff Director ,o f the Sen-ate Committees of which .Bridges was ohaiirman. He is a Pui,ple Heart :holder of World War Irl. T\he Honoraible Mr. Powell was· governor of New Hampshire for two terms. He ser,v ed tiwo terms as chairman of the Neiw E,n,giand Govern-ors committee. In 1961-1962 rh e was chairman of the U. S. Governor's •Conference and President of the ,National Counrcil on State Governments·.

What he ,t old the seniors was not the usu.al advice -o r wise words, but two of his orwn e~periences whLc,h 1had timeless messages f.or all to remember. One ,was ,a bout Wdnston Churchill who was voted out of oifilice after he ha•d become an international statesman. Churohi'll had made a visit to the United rSitates to thank those wlho :were reSll)ons,ible for all rthe help g:1ven Great Brrita,i n, and the senators •w ere e,mlbarrassed about bis .bedn,g ornt of offlice. He reminded them that it would ha.p,pen to al'l of them eventuaHy. '11he other experience took piace in Brazil. He was ,being shoiwn ·the b,auty of Ri.o de Janeiro and ·his host showed hi:m the area w:here thousands were liVting dn the depths of poverty amidst all the beaucy.

Ironies and problem~ of life wihich the young of today !W'ill face <>nd may.be they will hand'1e these better than the generations wihich hav-e gone before.

Tennis 1967 This yea,r, in between the rain , snow and prevai1ing winds, the Ca rdi.gan Tennis Team managed to have a fairly successful season. Th at is if one doesn't count the record which was one win an<l six losses.

We be.gan the season wi.th a match against Eaglebrook. Eaglebrook won this match 8 to 1, and Peter Abb-ott was the player who got our sin gle point. The next match was •,vi th Brewster JVs. This iwas the only time in our season that we we re able to take a bow. We leveled them 8 zip. For the next ma,t ch we marched on with high spiriits to mee.t Brewster Varsity. Our spirits were smothered with a score of 8 to 1. This time Big Dave Hanson pulled· the one game out of his bag of tPicks .

The following match was a.ga-inst Holderness and we took a bad beating, 9 zip.

On our next encounter we met rackets with New Hampton. We lo_s,t 6 to 3. Ted Fay, Rich Neal and Jeff Jeanneney contributed tihe 3 points.

Written Expression Contest Winners A Fear A fear? Well dt seems tha.t .it woulld be hard to distingu,ish amonig my many petty fears, which of these would 'be the one that petri£Jes m e .t he most. I have deic1ded that the people of the world are divided between three diiwsions, whlch come in descending order. These are: 1) the FeaTless (,g,ian.ts among men), 2) the Nonicommital, Average Oitizen (,t he stanldard for all opdruon rpolls who never really have an op~nion), 3) the Frightened Underdog (al!way:s ready to give an opinion, but who usual1y pays for tt Later). I, due to no e,hoi;c:e of my own, ihave had the misfortune to fall into the latter groUJP. This is not ,a good set to be in, Jf y,ou have a temper that boils at some\'~here near 21 degrees F. I would venture to say that my greatest fear, here at school, iwas the everdreaded villain of the ninth grade, the stereoty,pe Sender.

The Senior is -quite a character.

He has certain characteristics whicih are allotted to every one of his kdnd. 'flhese are Listed in order, from the hearl down. Due to t.he extremely scientific nature of the following words, ,J will use the initials S. S. for the Stereotype Senior. There ,is no relation to the Nazii Shock Troop of the same initials, eXJCept in the minds of those oppressed.

The S. S. a1w:ays has to have a heavy lock of blond haiw fallinJg loosely over his ,f orehead. H[s eyes may be any color, so long as they have a fierce ,glint in them at all times. Some studen'ts have e~pressed the op/iruon that there is only one large, bloodshot eye, placed dlirecrtly in the middle of the SS's forehead, bult tlhis is contrary to my reports. They must have a nose of exa,cit:Iy normal iprQPorHons, a lititle suniburned on the end.

Thei,r mourth must be wide, witlh good tee11h, sometimes yeHow froon certain eXJtriacurrioular activdties, and a!bove all, small Hrps. Large hlips a1re the bane of the 1SS. The SS, must cion4'inu,a lly lbe !Working on the different scllool sports and get letters.

His nook must be· bra~ and he must have the shoulders of an overnourished water bUJ£falo. Hlis le,gs must be p10!Werfully buiU and ready to go anyiw,hewe.

He a~so seems to ihav,e moved inito

the latter sta-g,es of pihysii.cal :maturity by tJhe age of fourte,m, a fact Wlhich he professes loudly about the campus, consistently u sln,g ce11taiin- four letter words. He Js a large brute; boys hav:e said that he s2ems to turn into a beast at tim es!

I shall now delve into 1:!he h a-bits and lid'e of the SS. First, his wit ar.,d personiahlty. He thinks that he has a wit which will ,demolish the sharpest mind, and says so. He is a good talker; his mouth is often stretched from an ex,cess of this actlvity.

Now I will talk of the rest of his 1ife. ms room seems like that of a medieval baron, e:,ccept '1:lhat SS has a loudly blaring stereo lying a-0out.

AH in an, he is a group- lover, and is more ferocious ,with other SS's;1also he :has a penchant for showiing others wihat 1he can do. He is dangerous and should be avoided, whether he is armed or not, unles·s, of course, you are anothe1· SS. In the event that th[s manuscrirp,t should fall ,i nto the wrong hands, I n-OIW present my last wm and testament.

I leave all my earthly belongings to the SS'SS (Society to Succumb to the Stereotyipe Seniors.)

Blindness

By Peter MacDonald '67

We search and sear~h Into the immense dep.ths Of darkness, yet no inkMng Of what we have lost is found .

We see no more The little drops of dew Uipon spving'·s early greens Glittering ,b enea,th the sun.

We sit beside The h1ckory log fire Cafohin1g those small sounds Whdch we r,e call

A1one iwe sit Groping to -see that little flame Yet hear only ns hiss An.d see not its soul.

Quiet p,r evails, Yet. .. yes i,t was!

A footstep upon the f,l oor We turn ,to see.

We search and search Into 1the immense derpltlhs Of darkness, yet no inkliing Of what we have lost is found.

Absence of Immortality My .g reatest fear is my fear that immortaHty doe-s not exist, that _I might die and never be reincarnated or never Hve again in any shape or form. Think what it would be like to diie and just be ,gone to never Hve again. What if there is no heaven, no hell, no immortality, nothing, but death? What wou1d it ·be like· fo know you are going to die and know that immortality was nonexistenit? I hope I never find out .t hat immorality does not exist because it woU'ld be terrible to know. But I gue-ss I never w:dll know whether it does not exist because when I die, ,if it d-0es not exist I will not be alive to realize it and if it does mcist, I will be able to know.

Winston Trke '69

Iv.ly Greatest Fea:r M,y greatest fear ,is the loss of my parents. My lire would be rwned for I would have no one to eare or reason wiiith me ,w hen I have a diiffiicult proolem. I have adapted' to them so well that it would destroy my hlfe and career i,f they were to perisih. I fear that my new parents wou'ld not care and show interest in ,me and that they ,would push me through }ilfo .it all times. If my p arents died it would change my life to an unhappy one and ciha,n,ge me complete'ly. This shock ,would orush all my hopes for a successful future and it would ,b e an unforgetahle experience.

When I grow u,p things ,would be different for my family. My new parents mlig;ht not show affection to my children and wife. This ,w ould make me disapp·o inted and my IW.ife and children would not -t hink much of me as far as ,m y new mother and father were conJCerned. In my ch~ldren'-s eyes a v,isit to Grama and Grampa ,would be a chore and not a pleasure. I would -h ate this to haprpe-n.

When I was o1d I ..,w ould look hack on all of this as a horrible expe,r ience and may,be shed a tear.

Champion Lacrosse1 Well, It Rained ...

'Dhis year, -Cardii,gan's lacrosse team w1as engulfed in one of N eiw Hampshire's greatest rain seasons in history. The lacrosse field was a small lake but the manage.rs, "Quick Carl" Erikson and "Fast" Phil Gardent, quickly erected · a small bridge refe.rred to as the small " Golden Gate" which transported the players across the lake to the fiield . Although the team's season ,was a losing one, the team put out a stern effort and S'howed some excellent material for Mr. Chamlberlain's "push up squad" for next yea,r.

The first game was played at Kimball Union Academy and though the team put out a great effort, they were defeated by a score of 4-2. But this didn't discoura,ge the mighty team and they met Holderness at home the next week. lit proved to be a close game with Kent Seith scoring all six goals if.or our team but the team .was defeated 8-6. The team now had i,ts dander up when it met the two teams of Proctor and Holderness which were both away but a,ga-in tihe team fell to Prootor 2-1 and to Holderness 6-5. Nex;t on the agenda was New Hampton which was an unscheduled game whioh the team fought to win and they did by a score of 6-2.

'11he last two games were the next two weeks where we p1ayed Proctor again at home and lost 4-1. The last game was Kimball Unfon Academy again to which we lost bry a C'lose score of 8-1.

Although the season was not a winning one, the one goal of the season was experience and development of a strong next year's team .

On Monday nig;ht, May 29, the awards banquet ,was held and Mr. Lombard and Mr. Chamberlain awarded letters to: Steve August, Bill Calder, Andrew Coleman, Brad Davis, Mike Garrison, Givens Goodspeed, Bob Hticks, Tom Miarsden, [; ean Martin, Tom Moran, John Newman, Sandy Ritchie, Kent Seitih (captain ), Tod Thompson and Alan Weiner.

All facts tallied up, I would say that t he wet season for lacrosse was well worth the e~perience t hat was gathered and wHl be put to use in nex,t year's mi-g;hty team.
