Easy Climb On Mountain Day

Difficult Climb On Mountain Day

By Steven Mervis '69 At 7:25 a . m . October 23, , Bill Calde r. our sch :J oi leader, shouted "Today is Mountain Day ." The r e was a cheer and the students raced back to their ro·J ms to get ready. The easy climb buses left at 9 a. m. and wc headed for Mount Kearsarge, West Andover. We arrived at the base of the mountain and formed our groups and headed up. The climb was nice and easy and we were on the top by 11:15. While many relaxed, others went up the frre station and looked at the view. Some inspected the ruins of an old plane crash. After a quick pace to the base, we du g into pe anut butter and honey sandwiches and Monkey Me at sandwiches, with Creme Cakes later on. We boarded the buses as the sun began to fade and headed back to CMS. "Mountain Day '67" was enjoyed by both faculty and students.

By Je.ff Cradall '70 morning, October 23 Mountain Day! The "Hard Climb" group traveled ,b y bus to Mooselaukee Mountain a,b out 45 minutes north of Cardi,gan . We gathered in small groups of ei,g ht and climbed rapidly. At the top we sa,w an excellent view of .Lafayette (site of la-st year's hard climb) , and the snowcapped Mount Washington. Sno,w •b all fights ensued, a.nd i,f you weren't on the ball, you were hit. Mr. Rouillard and his "eight" weren't happy as we fired at the ,boys rb elow. We settled doiwn and had Monkey Meat and jam sandwkhes. Water was sca!'ce and after ,w alking down a ski trail, some of us had a cool drink of water f.r,om the creek. It was a successful day.

Varsity Soccer's Best Season

Varsity Football Undefeated By Carl Steiner '69 Varsity football came through with its sixth straight victory in late October, beating Kimball Union Academ;y JV, 44-0. Touchdowns were scored by Tom Marsden '68, Brad Davis '68, Bill Calder '68 and Steve August '69. Extra p,oints were credited to Andy Coleman '68, Marsden, Cory Durling '68, and Davis. In all, Cardigan played extremely well.

Another -f ootball · went in the tro,p hy .c ase, as the Varsity ended with an undefeated, untied season. The finail game of November 4 ended in a Car.di,g an vidory, 56-0. This is Cardigan's fir.st undefeated season since 196:1. Most valua,b le player awards were made to Tom Marsden and AndtY Cole.man at the ,F all .Aiwards Ban·q uet. Brad Davis received th~ most improved player ,award for his e.ffort'S this season.

Cardigan Reserves By Jeff Crandell '70 The ·Car,digan Footba,11 Reserves had a di,saprpointing season this year, winning no games and 1,osing four. The fir.st .g ame was close and Hartford Junior High School just ed,ged

by, winning 6-0. The next week in October, the C.M .S. team was defeated by Sacred Heart School, 33-6. The Reserves then faced Hartford again and lost, 23-0. On November 4, Cardigan ke:p t the Sa,c red Heart team scoreless 'in the first half, but couldn't contain the vi-siting team. The final game score: Sacred Heart 30, Cardigan 8. The second and third string football players faced the Sacred Heart third string in October and defeated them, 18-8. After being :behind at the haH, 8-6, they fou ght back to win. Touchdowns were made rb y captains Jay Wimpfheimer '69 and Don West,w ater '69, and bly Ed Hyde '69 .

By Carl Steiner '69 This soccer season, perhaps the most e~citing s·oocer game was the second meet with La Salette Seminary of Enfiel,d. Cardigan chaLlen,ged La Salette again, after 1osing to them previously. When the horn sounded, the -s econd halif . of the ,game 1was over. Each team agreed to have tJwo five minute overtimes. In the first overtime Cardigan triumrphantly s-c ored a goal. The .second five minutes overtime was scoreless . Cardi,g an's final va rsity soccer record is 7 wins and 2 losses . The most valua'bile . p,l ayer a1ward . for soccer was awarded to John Keilhaur '69 at' the Fall Aiwards Night. Most Impr oved Player Alward went to William H. Danforth, Jr., '69.

Tennis Ladder Winners By Steven Mervis '69 This fall, tennis came out with a very productive season. In the beginning, we practiced with the ball boy and a couple o.f practice game-s. Then we started playing games on the tennis ladder where each stu-. dent h ad a chance to move up. The top thr·ee men were: 1. Steven Mervis '69 2. Richard Gillespie '69

3. Duncan Scott '69 It was not tennis all season, for we did play Reserve .Soccer in two games iwhere we beat them, 3 ,goa-1,s to one, and three goals to ·tJwo. This fall season has helped us to warm urp for the coming tennis sea:s on this :spring. On behalf of the tennis team, we would like to thank Mr. Goodspeed for an enjoyalble .season.

UNDEFEATED CHARGES . . .Varsity football showed unusual pride and sportsmanship this fall as they met each of the seven t eams on their scheduJe. Cardigan's new locker building, background left, and the new covered sports arena, background right, are sources of Cardigan pride.

SOCCER PLAY . . .George Bentley, '68, Jay Walker '68, and Peter Abbott, '68, set up a soccer play at the annual Senior-underclassman game. The soccer varsity posted a 7 win-2 loss record for 1967 . .
