So their goal is to tare skin and flesh of body and head. With their lead with red on it. War is bayonnets on ends of rifles held by hands of men. But the bayonnet is to kill; it has no fear. War is to big guns on ships that fire so far; explode with sound that kills and scares. But shell is to kill; it has no fear. War is knives of combat that puncture our skin and spill blood on the ground. But the knife is to kill; it has no fear. War is bombs that drop from planes without the mercy of God in their veins. They blow up our creations of ant and work. But bomb is to kill ; it has no fear. \\'ar is to bands of men that do fight using their weapons to save their life and so ul. But man is not made or is made to kill. But man does have fear. \\'ar we have .\ choice of God it might be .\n inst inct of ·man for that matter. But whatever it is Only some men thing they know There are things that come out of war. But God only knows. 2

Senior Ski Holiday By Tom Moran '68 and Chris Merrick '68

Ski Thoughts

The 1968 Senior Ski Holiday was held on January 25. The weather was very cold with the sky overcast for the entire day. We departed from C.M.S. at approximately 8 a. m. Although it was not anno unced to us officially, most of the seniors realized we were going to Okemo in Ludlow, Vermont. Okemo brought many new and exciting trails to the seniors. Unfortunately, Dave Hanson busted his skis, while Bob Vickers' toes were somewhat frozen. Tom Marsden had a really good day-he busted a pole and his bindings. Generally S!)eaking, everybody had a grand tirne. We thank Mr. Stout and Mr. Hazen for arranging and executing one of the best ski holidays the seniors of C.M.S. have ever had. ·

By Jeff Jeanneney '68

There are many things that may happen to an inexperienced skier. Why, I can remember the time when I was an inexperienced skier way back last year! When I started out of the racing gate, I didn't do it right, so I began to say, "Oh no! Can't you do anything right?" I said this so that anyone watching would think I had never made such a mistake before, but the truth was: I couldn't have done it right anyway! I would be skiing along and try to look good if someone was watching with a camera. Probably I would fall on my face. Then I would get up and go down the rest of the course. It was easy to look at everybody and before I knew it, I would miss a gate! " Never have I done so badly." I would finish the course, make a dramatic fall at the encl, and race off to see my time. When I found out, I would say, "Oh, I have never done so badly in my life!" All these comments were coverup, however; the truth of the matter was that I couldn't ski worth a hoot!

Clancy's Helpers Are Organized By Steven Mervis '69

" Kitchen" is a job which goes to fifteen boys a term and includes three squads, "Breakfast," "Lunch" and "Dinner." One can be a Machiner, Scraper, Unloader, or Trayer. The boys in each spot must know exactly how to do their part, for it is necessary to do it fast and perfect and be off to class. The kitchen has many advantages . You get to eat as much as you want, you can have your pick from a variety of foods, among others.
