1969

Another Winning Team ... This Time It's Hockey Saturday, January 11, Cardigan's Varsity Hockey team travelled to Holderness to play its first game of the season. The game began slow with little action, but well into the first period things began to happen when Rick Graham scored the first goal. In the second period Holderness tied the score 1 - 1 on an unearned goal. The C.M.S. squad returned quickly to the lead on a goal by Phil Gardent. C.M.S. could have done without the third period, for Holderness dominated the play. Taylor Breton was able to score, however, one more time for Cardigan.

Nevertheless, the Holderness team managed to score three goals and defeat the Cougars 4-3.

Wednesday, January 15, C.M.S. met Hanover on Cardigan ice. Like Holderness, Hanover's team was bigger, but not big enough to outplay C.M.S. Hanover drew first blood in the game when they scored in the first period. It looked like another Cardigan loss in the second period as Hanover scored again. Suddenly the Cougars came alive; Rick Graham scored the home team's first goal. Shortly after the first score, Rick repeated his performance and there was a new game; the score was all tied up, 2-2.

The third period was a rough one, and for a while, there was doubt that anyone would score again. Then, with six minutes remaining in the game, Mike Choukas tallied what turned out to be the winning goal. Final score: C.M.S. 3 Hanover 2.

Cardigan's third varsity game was at home against K.U.A. There was no scoring in the first period. Things looked very rough until the second periodwhen Bill Aspinwall, with an assist by Bob Morris, put one in the C.M.S. scoring column. There was no additional scoring in the second · period. In the third period, Cardigan's team captain, Rick Graham scored his team's second goal. K.U.A. was not able to register a goal, but were tough all the way. Final score: C.M.S. 2 K.U.A.0.

but don't, at this point, have the ability to make the varsity team . The reserve program is designed to teach and train these boys so they will be able to make the varsity team in future years.

Some of the promising players on the reserve squad are: Richard Whiting, Bob Blaik, John Moesch, David Agnew, Brother Johnston, and Charles Wemyss. All of these boys are fast and handle the puck well. There are many other boys not listed here that are developing their talents very quickly. Mr. Fetscher and Mr. Ordway are coaching the_ team and have already taught the reserve boys a great deal.

Hockey - Continued from

Page I Wednesday, January 22 Cardigan met New Hampton on their ice. New Hampton looked good, but the C.M .S. squad was especially hot and the game belonged to the Cougars. Rick Graham scored two goals. Ed Hyde matched Rick with two more, and Phil Gardent tallied one. The final score was C.M.S. 5 New Hampton 0.

The following Saturday, January 25 Vermont Academy visited Cardigan.

Vermont played wel I throughout the game; however they, couldn't match our boys as C.M.S. won 4-2. Breton and Graham shared scoring honors with two a piece.

In one of their very closest games Cardigan did battle with Hanover. This was their second game with them, and just as close as the last one. After some very nervous moments, the Cougars came out on top. Final score : C.M.S. 2 Hanover I. Rick Graham scored both Cardigan goals.

SKI TEAM IN ACTION 1.

Caridgan's Ski Team took part in the first competition of the season at Holderness Wednesday, January 15 in a t hree way meet against Holderness and Phillips Exeter. First place went to Ph illips Exeter with 98.5%; Holderness 8 team was second with 95.5%, and Holderness A team placed third with 78.1%. CMS was last with 74.0.

In the various races, Flavin placed 11th, Kelley 12th, Halsey 15th, and Diggs 18th.

On January 22, 1969 the Cardigan Ski Team travel ed to New Hampton fo r t heir first Nordic meet. When Cardigan's J umping Team took their first look at New Hampton's ski jump, they were a bit shocked, except Chris McGill who stayed cairn and cool.

When the meet began, Chris had no problem taking first. Close behind him in the running were; Charles Wakely, Ken Lary, and Rick Manson. In this event, the CMS squad led by the slim_ margin of four points.

Cardigan had to do well in the cross-country if they were to win, and that they did. Though they had never seen the New · Hampton trail, the Cougars won by a two point margin.

Chris McGill placed first, Charles Wakely, fourth, and Marshall Kirkland, fifth.

When the judges had calculated t he score the results were announced.

Cardigan had won its first Nordic ·ski ·meet.

Wednesday, January 29 the Proctor JV came to Cardigan for a Nordic meet. Proctor was victorious in both cross country but not jumping.

Proctor scored 97 .9% against Cardigan's 93.4% in the cross country event. In jumping CMS scored 93.4% and Proctor finished with 92.3%. The Cardigan slight advantage in jumping was not enough to offset the lead Proctor gained in the cross country.

The final score was Proctor 190.1 CMS 186.8; Proctor won by 3.2 points.

MAGIC CLUB IN A TRANCE Friday evening, January 24 Mr. Mahoney's Magic Club witnessed a most incredible performance presented by famed hypnotist, Dr. Franz Po lgar.

The title for the evening performance, which was presented in Hopkins Center's Spau lding Aud itorium, was Fun With the Mind. Dr. Polgar's show was based mainly upon the powers of hypnosis which he demonstrated by hypnotizing eighteen volunteers from the audience. After the volunteers were under the hypnotic t rance, he performed fascinating hypnotic tests, some of which were: to tell everyone that each was stuck to his seat, that smoke they were inhaling from their cigarettes was actually smoke from burning rubber, and at one point, he told a muscular Dartmouth student that an aluminum chair weighed 1000 pounds. On all three tests, the volunteers, who. were under hypnotic spells, reacted as . though all the suggestions made by Dr. Polgar, were true. These -are only a few of the tests presented.

Dr. Pol gar also demonstrated fantastic rne_rnory stunts Jfree of any nelp from the audience). He located a check, for instance, someone from the aud ience had hidden while Dr. Polgar went outside the theater, guarded by ten people.

Special permission to visit Dr. Polgar ba~kstage after the show was obtained by contacting Garret Rassmussen, who is presently a student at Dartmouth and a personal friend of Dr. Polgar's.

C.M.S. students attend ing this spectacu lar performance were: Torn Thayer, Jerry Goodspeed, Carl Steiner, Jody Thaxter, Wes Knauer, Frank Zeller, and, of course, one non-student attended ; that being Mr. Mahoney.

Those belonging to the Magic Club have asked the Chronicle to express. their thanks to Mr. Mahoney for bringing them to this extra-ordinary show.

Mrs. Weeks and Friend.

FORMER PEACE CORPS MEMBERS FIND INDIA STRANGE AND SAD Mr. and Mrs. Richard Weeks began th is school year as new members of the Cardigan Mounta in Schoo l staff, and both have had many interested listeners as they have t old of their experiences in the Peace Corps. Their valuable experiences, while in Ind ia, wi ll be reviewed after a brief background report on the coupl e.

Cardigan is especiall y proud of Mr. Weeks, for he is a 1959 graduate of C.M .S. (Another C.M.S. graduate is a member of the faculty also . He is Mr. Fred Pearce, art teacher and member of the Science Department. ) Mr. Weeks attended Vermont Academy after graduating from Cardigan. He graduated fro m V.A. in 1962 ; From prep school , he went on to Clarkson Col lege, Potsdam , New York. In 1966 he received his deg ree, • and shortly thereafter (June '66) he married t he fo rmer Susan Morris of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Mr. and Mrs. Weeks decided on entering the Peace Corps the latter part of June, and began t raining in August. of 1966 at Albany St at e Coll ege. They spent one month at t he co llege, and were, then, sent to a Catskill Mou ntain Camp for another month . During thei r f irst two months of trai ning, t he cou ple fo und little free t ime t o relax . Training was sched uled fro m su nrise to su nset , and in the evening, t hey were t oo t ired to relax and enjoy themselves; generally, t hey went t o bed early and got as ma ny hou rs of sleep as they could , so they wou ld l:Je prepared for another busy day. From t he Catski lls, t he Weeks went to Ind ia fo r a month of " In t he

Country" training.

They were members of a program ca ll ed " Vi llage Leve l." Th is program is designed to trai n Ind ian fa rmers to operate a fa rm and , in genera l, iive better. Mr. Weeks'" mai n concern was teaching villagers how to improve production of various crops and the raising of poultry . He was also to teach road construction and first aid. Mrs. Weeks was to concentrate on sanitation and nutrition .

During Mr. and Mrs. Weeks three months training about one half of those who entered the Peace Corps wit h them left for va rious reasons; qu ite often the reason was tough but necessa ry train ing. Their "In t he Country" training too k place in a sma ll village abo ut thirt y miles from Del hi.

The couple finished their training in earl y November of 1966; they then were t ranspo rted t o Lucknow, a sma ll village nearly 150 miles from Delhi.

When t hey arrived , they were met by representatives . of an Ind ian group .

The group was ve~y much like t he Peace Corps. The representatives gave them a choice of homes in which t hey could live. The Weeks chose a home, and fo und arrangements to be slightly st range since they were to live wit h t he male side of the fami ly. It seems that some of the Ind ian men liked a divided home , and if this is the man's desire, then, this is the way it 's to be. Yo u . see, the man is the boss; whatever he says must be accepted. The Weeks had to do a great deal of fixi ng .before t heir

qu arters were presentab le, but after days of . work, they had arranged comfortable qua rters. The male side of the house was right next to t he anima ls' qua rters; it seems t hat the Indians don't tr ust too many- people, and wit h reason, resu lting in their most prized possessions being placed as close as possible to the men'. There was little law enforcement in sma ll villages, and the man of the house was also t he po liceman. When asked if he minded being placed so close to the animals, Mr. Weeks said that he found he cou ld become accustomed to most anyt hing. Rega rding the smells fro m the anima ls ... .. He st ated that so much of Ind ia sme lled that he hard ly Aoticed it after a whi le.

We asked Mr. Weeks t o give us an example of a typica l day on the job in an Indi an vill age . He expl ai ned t hat he and his wife would ri se about 6: 00 A.M. They would probably have a cup of t ea fo r breakfast, with an occasional biscu it or cookie. This was not t he case mo~t often, for li ke the Ind ians, the Weeks had t o put up with an ext reme short age of food. At about 6:30 A.M. Mr. Weeks might go out and inspect t he fa rm fi elds wit h the .man of the fam ily . Unlike American farmers, an lhdian's fa rm land might consist of one acre at one location, two acres a mile away, and five or so acres a few miles fa rt her away . A man who owned more t han ten acres of land was considered to be a large land ·owner.

Mr. Weeks said that at about 8:00 Continued o n Page 5

Cardigan Chronicle

Mr. and Mrs. Weeks - Continued from Page 4 A.M. he would return from the fields and go to the nearest vegetable market, three miles away. At the market he could usually find oranges and cauliflowers. Occasionally rice fo r rice pudding was • available. One misconception many Americans have is that the Indian people consume great quantities of rice. According to Mr. Weeks, this is not true; rice is scarce and often expensive.

Later in the afternoon he might go to another farm and offerhelp or advice. One thing he t ried to urge fa rmers to do was to use chemical ferti li zer since the land lacked slJfficient minerals to produce in quantity or quality. Land was so overused that it was in dire need of proper fertilization . Another selling job he did was to attempt to convince the farme r crop rotation was desi rable, o r that a tractor shou ld be purchased. However, the tractor was on ly available to the well to do farme r; because of the great expense involved. Often the farme r who could afford a tractor would not purchase one. He would be awar~- of the advantages of using a tractor, but because of the Indian government red tape, he did not want to go to all the trouble.

As for evenings, the Weeks would do a variety of things. They would mostly visit village families .

When asked if he thought progress was being made in India, Mr. Weeks stated that the Peace Corps was doing a good job, but there weren 't enough workers to do the extensive job needed. He felt that the education of the young would help, and, in the future , things would progress, but th is would be slow. Mr. Weeks pointed out that the small farmer would listen to advice, but not take it. As soon as the Peace Corps worker· left the sma ll farmer's fi eld he'd return to the old way. He did say, however, that the large farmer was taking advice, and some had actually done something to modern ize their farms. One problem exists here, though; the large farm owner doesn 't share his ideas with those wit h smaller fa rms . He's quite selfish about what he has learned, and sees no reason to share his new found knowledge.

Mr. and Mrs. Weeks' reaction to Ind ia was interesting. First, it is ob~ious · that Americans don't know what poverty is until they see a

Mr. Wakely explains his planned trip out West to a Chronicle reporter.

A LOOK AT THE CMS PAST AND AN UPCOMING TRIP TO PROMOTE ITS FUTURE In September of 1945 a sma ll school by the name of "Cardigan School" was founded. Hap Hinman, William Brewster, Ernest Hopkins, and Sidney Hayward were the fou nders. Of all these men, the late Hap Hinman receives the greatest credit for the school 's beginning; it was his far sightedness and imagination that gave birth to the idea.

The school operated for several years 'in the old inn on Canaan Street that is now used by Canaan College. In 1950 Cardigan purchased 140 acres of land from Dartmouth College. This land had been originally donated to

country like India. Mr. Weeks said that living conditions were so poor that he doubted that the great majority of Indians know what feel ing good really is. He said that thei r health is so bad that they have become accustomed to it , and to experience good health would be a shock to them . He described the people as friendly and curious about Americans. Some of the filth y living conditions were shocking.

He sees hope in the chi ldren who wi ll grow up better educated , and not satisfied with conditions.

There is much more that could be told . about the Weeks' . They have had many interesting experiences, and enjoy sharing these when they have the opportunity.

Dartmouth by the Haffenreffer famil y.

Cardigan School did well on these 140 acres, and since this time many more needed acres have been added to the campus. Cardigan has seen constant growth since 1945, including the name since it was changed in 1950 from "Cardigan Schoo l" to "Cardigan Mountain School." The name change was inspired by the view from the campus of this beautiful mountain .

Mr. and Mrs. Wakely, the trustees and· incorporators would like to see the growth continue as did the original founders, and they are always investigating possible ways to improve • C.M.S. They want to see this school maintain the standards needed to enable them to continue serving boys in future years. As a result of their desire for progress, Mr. and Mrs. Wakely plan to tour other schools to find out what improvements could be made that would make Cardigan stay ahead.

The Wakelys p lan to visit New York, Colorado, and California on their tour. They will be visiting members of the National Association of Independent Schools and · the National Association of Secondary School Principals. The Wake lys will leave February 27 and return March 10. While out West Mr. and Mrs. Wakely plan to visit · many of Cardigan's alumn i and friends who now live in some of the Western states.

Summer School-camp

1968

THE DIRECTOR'S N O TE . .... _ .....

It is the philosophy of Cardigan's school-camp to offer a program of study that befits the individual needs of the student. He attends classes for four and one-half hours each morning, for six days a week, for seven weeks.

The camper's afternoons are occupied with his participation in numerous land and water sports and activities; Red Cross swimming, boating, sailing, and canoeing programs; archery, trap shooting, and riflery; hiking and overnight camping. Throughout the summer session, the primary consideration of the school is academic; the secondary is summer camping.

The 1968 season was especially iuccessful in both areas. The boys benefited by the small tutorial classes in remedial and developmental reading, English, math, and French. In addition, the campers thrived on the recreational afternoons and on the off-campus trips to the ocean for deepsea fishing and to the White Mountains for camping and hiking. The boys found the combination of "hard work" and "hard play" a most enticing mixture.

The newly constructed door between room 202 and the library is a toll door. A ten cent toll fee is required to pass through either way .

According to Phil Krauss, who is handling t he toll gate operation, the fee will be used to support local charities. When asked by this reporter what charities would be supported, Phil said that he was not at liberty to say, but that the revenue would go t o a good cause.

Fred Rudd had to t ake his new "No Cal Powder" out of the school store.

Seems that th ree students completely disappeared as a resu lt of using the powder too libera lly. For those not aware of Fred's latest invention, it was a powder that one could apply to high calorie food, resu lting in a considerable reduction in calorie content (Fred's estimate, about 90%).

When asked why the compound was so overly effective, Fred- said, "I'm not responsible for over consumption.

There was a warning right on the label!"

Frank Weeks found out that there was no such thing as a Martha Washington half dollar. He's now decided t o collect Mark Twain half dollars instead.

Mr. Perry has set a new style at C.M.S.; seems the school store has been fl ooded with requests for red hats, just like his. Mrs. Yaggy has not been able to locate t he distributor for this particular style. It's ru mored that the hat was made by Mrs. Perry from discarded Marshall Island aviation flags which glow in the dark ~nabling cargo planes to iand at night.

Chris McGill, A.V . head, has come up with quite an invention. He calls it an "lnstructproject". A teacher si mply walks into this machine and is projected on t he wall of any classroom equipped with a special receiver. The teacher can teach the class without leaving the A.V. Room. Chris claims that this discovery will be great on those bad weather days when a master wou ld rather not leave Hopkins. He is now looking for a volunteer teacher who would be willing to help him demonstrate this new invention. Chris does warn, however, that the t emperature sometimes reaches 220 degrees inside the machine. He's looking for someone who especially enjoys t aking a sauna bath.

Phot ography Club is open to from the most advanced photography student to the boy that has no knowledge in this fi eld, but who wants to learn. A beginner learns the fund amentals of photography. He goes th rough the step by step process of learning the basics of taking pictures.

Boys find there are many facts about taking pictures that make . the more accomplished photographer successful under the most difficult conditions.

After a boy has progressed t o a certain point, he is introduced t o t he dark room. Here, he finds out that many pictures are good or bad because of proper or improper darkroom procedure. A good photographer must be well trained in photo processing.

Students are shown how a poor photograph can be saved in the darkroom with special processing.

Photography Club Continued from Page 9 Mr. Aldrich is in charge of the Photography Club and he is assisted by Mr. Stanley. The club is divided, often, into two groups. While Mr. Aldrich works with one group in the dark room, Mr. Stanley gives the other group special instruction.

CHRISTMAS AT CMS

Throughout the year boys are encouraged to hunt for interesting things to photograph. They do their investigating in all kinds of weather, and as a result, learn how to take pictures when conditions aren't ideal for the camera bug.

"Look Santa. I Blow the Candle Out."

The Photography Club also helps Blaze - Chronicle publications. The students take many pictures and process some of the photos that will appear in the Blaze or Chronicle. This year they are helping to size (crop) pictures so the two publications are able to submit more accurate photos to the publishers.

The Photography Club is open to a limited number of students. As a result the boy that wants to learn and is willing to spend time on this hobby is preferred.

"Gee! There is a Santa!"

CMS CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS Tuesday, December 18, 1968 was a big day for Cardigan students. For one thing, they were going home the nex t day for their Christmas vacations, and, of course, Christmas was in the air, which makes any boy happy . That very evening the annual Christmas feast would take place and Santa Claus would be making. his pre-Christmas visit to the faculty children. Although, they are not the recipients of Santa 's gifts, C.M.S. students enjoy watching the smaller children's reactions to the visit . Late r on in the evening, the Christmas Pagea nt in the Chapel was to be held.

The boys were not disappointed, for al l wen t very well. The roast beef and trimmings were delicious, and when Santa arrived the faculty children performed beautifully, although some of the very small children showed some fear at the sight of Santa. This disappeared when the kind o ld gent smiled and laughed at them . All the children seemed to love their Christmas gifts .

Happiness is a Thing Called Santa.

The Christmas Pageant seems to improve each yea r. The C.M .S. Choi r, under the direction of Mr. Walter Smith, sang beautifully , and the Pageant players did an excellent job of acting . All the boys participating in this fine Christmas prod uctio n excelled. Rev . Harry Mahoney, school chaplain, produced and directed the entire production .

Ea rly the following mornrng the buses were loaded and a few hours later, the boys were home visiting parents, relatives, and friends.

Certainly, for the students, home was the happiest moments of Christmas, but we can't help but believe that the wonderful evening before ran.ks high in their Christmas 1968 memories.

WELCOME PARENTS

CMS CHOIR Cardigan Mountain School has an excellent choir, but, too often, not much is said abol)t this fine group.

One of the first questions that might come to mind is , "Why a choi r?" The automatic_ answer to this q uest ion seems to be that the cho ir is needed at Chapel services. However, that's not all that the cho ir does. In the wa y of commun ity and public service, the choir visits hospita ls and institutions; the purpose of these trips is to entertai n those who most need entertain ing, the sick and the shut ins.

Choir members are happy to perform t hese services ; it makes them fee l that they've done something to help others.

Right now the C.M.S. Choir is rehearsing for Parents' Weekend. They are planning a special program fo r the weekend which should prove to be very entertaining.

The cho ir rehearses every Tuesday and Friday. All the boys involved in choi r are volunteers; the boys give their time freely, and they deserve a great dea l of credit for giving up free -time to render such a valuable service.

One choi r member summed things up pretty well when he was asked if he minded the extra work involved in cho ir. His answer was -- "Work? It's fun. I enjoy singing." This reporter thought for a moment, . and realized that that's the best reason of all to be in t he choir.

The following boys are members of the choir: Sheldon Caplan, Lawrence Roberts, James Stone, Richard Whiting, Robert Diggs, Peter White, Rich ard Hall, George Spaulding, Wtll iam Austin, Frank Weeks, David Donald , Frederick Rudd, Will iam Rand, Frank Zeller, Charles Wemyss, John Price, Kenneth Linnell, Sidney Stein, Michae l Gordon, John Cosgrove, Parker Brown, Alexander Dann, Mark Guarino, William Barrett, Jeffrey Fowler, James Cutler, Craig Johnson , Gregg Vickery, Andrew Jamison, Ralph Dumas, and Sean Hogan.

FALL BANQUET HUGE SUCCESS The Caridgan Mountain School 1968 Fall Banquet was held Monday, November 25, 1968 in the school dining room, and it was a great success. The fall term ended with two varsity teams undefeated , and two reserve teams ended the season more experienced with nothing to be sad about.

A boy from each activity was chosen to speak abou t his activity .

These boys gave a brief synopsis of each activity, and told of an occasional highlight or happening that the group experienced. One of the most entertaining speeches was by Mike Talley.

The audience laughed many times as he described Ski-Improvement, and son:1~ of t he boys involved in the act1v1ty. He also described the adu lt a?t_ivity leaders, if not accu rately, very v1v1d ly.

The varsity and reserve coaches handed out letters and individual awa rds during the banquet. Also they praised their teams and players for jobs well done. There was more praise th is yea r tha n ever before and rightfully so, since _C.M.S. has n~t seen such athletic successes in many years.

No awards were give~ to the coaches, but fine words, spoken by the boys, made up for that; however, the Blaze - Chronicle staff would like to take this_ opportun ity to say congratulations to a great coaching staff.

REC SKI PROGRAM IN FULL SWING The largest activity at Cardigan is Recreational Skiing; nearly 130 boys participate in this fascinating sport .

The Recreational Skiing program is designed for boys that want to learn how to ski, and boys who are fair or accomplished that would like to improve. In short, the program is designed for all skiers.

A boy entering Recreational Skiing is placed into a ski group regardless of . his age, but according to his ability only. He may be placed in any one of several groups. Skiers are grouped in classes from "beginning" to "expert"; · beginning skiers are placed in an A· group and work their way t hro ug h various steps. Currently there are boys in the following groups: A, 8 , C1, C2, D1, D2, E, and F. A, B, C1, and sometimes C2 sk i at Clancy Mountain where it is easier to sk i, enabling them to learn sk ills without being challenged too greatly. D1, D2, E, and F groups go to t he Pinnacle since it is more challenging, and because boys are, then, more likel y to further improve their technique at this CMS ski facil ity .

Rec Skiing - Continued from Page 11 The Recreational Skiing program is directed by Mr. Earl Aldrich. Mr. English, Mr. Marrion, Mr. Gagne, Mr. Pearce, Mr. Perry, Mr. Blunt, Mr. Yaggy, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Goodspeed instruct the many groups of boys in the program. Kevin Lary and Christopher Sands, both CMS students, help out as student instructors. These two boys do a fine job. Any student graduating from an F group is eligible for a student instructor position.

The Rec Ski program is very effective. There are many boys who once were in A groups that are now accomplished skiers.

A BUSY SEASON AHEAD FOR DRAMA The new Winter Term began officially for Cardigan's drama group Thursday, January 9, 1969, right after the bqys. returned from Christmas vacation: Drama has been a club for many years, and on the first day of the Winter Term, this was no longer the case. It was now officially an activity.

The C.M.S. drama coach, Mr. R. B. Fahrner, found this new arrangement more than satisfactory and stated that he can now schedule rehearsals more easily, He also pointed out that this should result in more polished performances.

The seventeen boys in drama have much ahead of them. One group of nine is readying the play ,City Sketches for a performance Friday, February 28 at West Woodstock Junior High in Vermont. They'll be performing this play for a school assembly at 2:00 P.M. One week before two performances of City Sketches will be presented for Parents' Weekend. The following boys will be appearing in this play: Steve Clark, Bill Rand, Reid Mahaffy, Jeff Crandell, Jerry Goodspeed, Phil Krauss, Fred Rudd, Jim Fairlamb and Tom Thayer. It is also planned to take City Sketches to Stanstead College, Stanstead, Quebec, Canada for their annual Drama Workshop.

Another group of boys has been rehearsing the play, The Integrators,

T his shot taken during rehearsal for One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. From left to right: Tom Hunt, Fred Rudd, Ralph Dumas, Sandy Shanks, Phil Krauss, and John Pagenstecher.

for the N.H . State Drama Festival.

These boys will be performing in a regiona l contest at one of the local area schools in March. If the C.M.S. entry places first or second in the regional, they'll go on to the State Finals sometime in early April at the University of . New Hampshire in Durham. Ralph Dumas, Jon Stahl, and Bob Wells are performing in The Integrators.

Four other drama boys, Scott Ketcham, Dwight deKeyser, Frank Weeks and Tom McClintock are involved in drama skits which will be presented in the C.M.S. Auditorium sometime in late February. Mrs. Gilbert Stanley is directing the skits One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, a play in one act, was

performed for the students, faculty, and guests in the C.M.S. Auditorium at 8:00 P.M., Sunday, December 15, 1968. After the play two skits were performed by the Drama Club's J unior Varsity group. Both the play and skits were huge successes.

Phil Krauss, Ralph Dumas, Tom Hunt, John Pagenstecher, Sandy Shanks, Fred Rudd, Jon Stahl, Reid Mahaffy, Bill Rand, and Bob Wells performed in the play. Mr. Robert B. Fahrner was faculty director, and Bob Wells handled the ·student direction; Mr. Harry Mahoney was in charge of makeup.

Dwight deKeyser, Mark Riddell, Larry Roberts, Jim Ashe, and Jim Saltzman all had parts in the skits.

Mrs. Gilbert Stanley was faculty director while Mark Riddell was student director. ·

N EW LEARNING CENTER, AU DITORIUM, DINING ROOM PROPOSED

Many boys have stopped to look at the plans for proposed additions to the C.M.S. campus. Comments have been favorable; although an occasional ninth grader has complained because he would not be at Cardigan when constru ction is completed. Actually at this point, no one knows who will be here at completion, since a definite decision has not been made on a starting date. For that matter, the plans are not final. Much talk, discussion, and repl anning will t ake place before the decision to break ground is made. The plans were made because of an apparent need that was seen, and much planning must be don'e before such a complex can be considered.

Proposed plans call for a new learning center. The learning center would house a li brary, reference areas, individual study rooms, and r:nuch more. Also shown on the plans are a , theater-auditorium, art rooms, and a shop. The third section of the plans shows an attractive dining room which would serve many purposes. Other additions have also been proposed for construction, and discussions are taking place regarding these.

Whatever the outcome of the building plans, one thing does stand out strongly, and :that is that Cardigan Mountain School won 't stand still while the increased needs for education grow all over our nation.

CHRON ICLE HUMOR D RAWS INTERESTING COMME NT .... OR CMS INVENTOR PRAISED FOR GUAR AN TEED FLY KIL LER In the Thanksgiving edition of the Chronicle, an item appeared in the "Would You Believe" column stating 1hat Fred Rudd hai invented something guaranteed to kill flies. The invention was described as being two blocks of wood. The user was directed to place the fly between the blocks of wood, then slam them together.

From this item of humor came a very nice letter from a Mr. Ralph T. Barney, rea l estate agent of Canaan.

Mr. Barney stated that he wished to compliment Fred for his splendid invention , and went on to confess that he too was an inventor. The complete text of his letter follows: "In all seriousness and respect . I wish to compliment you on your splendid invention of ridding a house of flies and I wish I could have known about it earlier. All my days I have had to chase them around with a spatter o r spray gun and they are too quick fo r me. Now I wish you wou ld invent a pane of glass a fly cannot penetrate as at my house they come through both the storm and inner windows. I am looking forward impatiently to next year when I can use your method and mow them down. As is usual, why couldn't I have thought of that.

I too have a creative mind but have never applied it to personal benefit or profit . Like many others, I have considered producing a formula that will grow new hair on bald heads, wh ich I need to the nth degree, but being of a charitable disposition I have . f'7 I ,;,'/r

__,.

held off in order to allow it to be produced by someone who is poorer than I, if there is any such person, so he can reap the profits.

Another of my ideas is to produce a magic wand that by touching a rock it will be turned. into a fine powder like sugar. My premises are underlaid with rock and I need the device very badly but never had the time to perfect it. If I should ever hate a man living in a stone house I would sneak up some dark night and touch his- house with my wand.

That is the trouble with us inventors; we are so busy wearing out the seats of our pants we do not have time to produce the necessities of life.

As you grow older you will see this type of people yourself. I have known many of them. Also, am one.

Well Fred , I would like very much to meet you and know we could have a splendid, "scientific visit." Sincerely yours, Ralph T . Barney It isn't often that the Chronicle receives a letter regarding what is printed, and we would like to thank Mr. Ralph T. Barney for taking the time to write us . It is nice to know what our readers enjoy and their reactions to our pub Iication. Anyone who would like to write us, is certainly welcome to do so; in fact, letters would be appreciated. Correspondence should be sent to: Brother Johnston, editor, The Chronicle, Cardigan Mountain School, Canaan, N.H .
