by Erik Oberg Coming from a small town in Maine, I thought I'd have a difficult time being accepted at Cardigan , but it turned out to be just the opposite here. I found out quickly that it doesn't really matter where you are from. It just matters who you are.

I really appreciate the various options provided by Cardigan's schedule. In addition to the time allotted for academics, there is time for everything I want to do, including athletics, music and social time.

In the spring of 1989, I was fortunate enough to be elected as the School Leader for the following year. This position has taught me a lot about leadership and responsibility. It gives me a marvelous feeling to be looked up to by other students , and to know that for some I am a role model.

My life here at Cardigan has 11ot all been fun and games. The work here is very difficult and there is the pressure of doing well to get into a good prep school.

Before you have a chance of being burned out, however, a teacher always knows

and gives you that little advice that helps you get through the day.

Fortunately, the training I have received here will prepare me for life at my next school. I have learned to schedul~ my time effectively to do everything I need to do.

All in all, my Cardigan experience has been a rich and fulfilling part of my life. I know when I graduate in the spring I will be ready to tackle the demanding life of a prep school.

Summer Session Enjoys Banner Year Quick! Namea place which offers windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, mountain climbing, playing tennis, and experiencing the fine arts, in addition to working on academic skills, developing computer literacy or learning a foreign language. Stumped? Welcome to Cardigan Mountain School's wildly popular summer session.

The term "summer school" usually does not conjure up the most pleasant impressions, to be sure, yet Cardigan seems to have hit on a formula that works. Every summer on Canaan Street Lake, students arrive from all around the globe to take advantage of the school's special blend of camp and school.

The 1990 · summer was an especially successful one, with 190 boys and girls attending (which included ten more boarders than in the previous year). Fully 45 summer schoolers chose to return to campus for the regular winter school, an increase of five over the previous summer.

The enrollment included 37 students from 12 different foreign countries , as well as representatives from 30 different states.

These statistics led director Jim Burnett to say, "It continues to be very much a world community school. " "I really feel that it's a valuable experience," he adds. "It's an excellent orientation process for the students, especially the foreign students, who get a chance to improve their English."

The program is not especially designed as a springboard to entrance into the regular school, although it can function as a sort of proving ground. . "Increasingly, the summer program has become an opportunity to try

Summer session students cool off by the docks on Canaan Streei Lake. new policies that we might want to use in the winter school and also a time to orient new faculty and students," Burnett said.

Students benefited from individualized instruction during the five morning periods, thanks to the small classes containing at most seven students. Included on the staff were 17 teachers who are also members of the winter school faculty .

Students worked at their own pace to shore up their academic skills in mathematics, reading, and writing, while they also enjoyed a variety of enrichment courses such as French, Spanish, Engli sh as a second language, computer programming, and typing.

After lunch , there were four ac-

tivities periods during which students did their bestto take advantage of Cardigan's idyllic surroundings. The waterfront was the focus of the afternoon activities, thanks in part to a brand new fleet of eight Flying Junior sailboats.

Also new on the lake was Cardigan's answer to Noah: a 23-footpontoon boat dubbed "The Ark," which was built during the regular school year by students under the direction of woodshop instructor Christopher Morse. The Ark proved invaluable as a rescue boat for the windsurfers, in addition to serving as a lei sure touring boat.

Special activities included trips to the theater at Dartmouth College, waterslides, and a "beach day" at the New Hampshire seacoast. . '

Learning the Skills of Life One teni:i a year, every Cardigan student has the chance to take a spec ial class in which he can forget about the three "R's" and regular schoolwork. One part health class, one part decisionmaking, and one part ethics make up the school 's unique Life Skills program, a favorite course in the curriculum for many students.

"It's just a great program," says ninth grader Errol Laumann . "The Life Skills teachers are there when you need to talk to them."

"Life Skills teaches you about life," says ninth grader Brett Kurtz quite simply. He adds that a large part of the

are capable of thinking for themselves ," he adds.

As a health course, Life Skills must inevitably cover topics such as sex education and substance abuse. Mr. Mars notes , however, that it is not a "light facts course," but rather a means for students to sharpen their deci sion-making skills so they can deal with difficult situations that arise during adolescence.

The students have to be prepared for experiences in high school such as drugs , alcohol, and the dating scene, according to department member Mary Amos, as well as an increase in the amount of free time.

"They leave behind Cardigan's rigorous schedule, where everything is 'Go-Go-Go,' "she adds. The Life Skills lessons prepare them for a time when they will be more "on their own ." "We give them the tools to make wise decisions,'' Mrs. Amos adds.

Errol Laumann, 9th grade The CARDIGAN CHRONICLE course involves learning about social interaction and peer pressure. "They teach you how to deal with others."

A varsity football player for the past two years, Brett says he also appreciates the "health" part of the course, which offers lessons about injuries and how to stay in good physical shape.

The three-year-old program is headed by Andrew Mars, who has his M.A.T. from Montclair State College with a concentration in Ethics. He stresses that the program is not a course of "moral indoctrination."

"It's very much of a discussion format. It's amazing how much the students can learn from themselves and from each other. They reali ze that they

1989-1990 ANNUAL REPORT A ·message from the Headmaster Dear Friends of Cardigan, 1989-90 will always have a special meaning for me as my first year at the School. In reviewing thi s past year, it has been truly rewarding to see the kind of support Cardigan inspires from its parents, alumni, friends and staff. With this kind of loyal support in the future months and years, the School can continue to forge ahead despite the current uncertain economic and political climate in our society. The Cardigan family has the will and desire to insure the School's leadership role in middle school education, and I am confident that the level of support necessary will be given.

The key aspect of the Cardigan experience which inspires the tremendous ·e nthusiasm and support among the members of the Cardigan family is the School's commitment to providing an environment which promotes not only students' intellectual and academic achievement, but also their ethical and social development. Cardigan teaches "responsibility" as a fundamental along with basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. The School offers students guidance and opportunities for responsible behavior in the microcosm of the Cardigan family. Students take thi s knowledge and understanding with them into their other educational and life experiences.

The ne.ed for these elements in the basic training of our youth is evidenced with the groundswell among educational leaders who are citing their concern with emerging statistics about the country's youth. A recent survey in Redhook Magazine, for instance, revealed these disturbing statistics: Eight of ten eighth graders have used alcohol -- more than half of them by sixth grade. Over one-third had an alcoholic drink last month . One in twenty eighth graders has used cocaine, and one -in ten preteens has thought of suicide.

With regards to academies, the NELS:88 Longitudinal Study reports that the typical eighth grader spends four times as many hqur.s watching televi sion per week as on homework (21.2 hours as compared with 5.5). The average eighth grader spends only about two hours a week on reading outside of school. Clearly, junior high schools have their work cut out for them. Cardigan offers programs year round which are uniquely suited to combat these di sturbing trends.

This year Cardigan will be engaged in its se lf-evaluation study , a process sponsored at regular intervals by the New England Association of Colleges and Independent Schools for all member schools and through which schools receive endorsement through accreditation. Former assistant headmaster Joe Collins will coordinate this study, and out of the study will come recommendations which will enhance future planning. Although Cardigan has already reaffi rmed its main mi ssion to provide an excellent educational boarding experience for middle school boys, self-evaluation helps all of us to improve or update the specific programs we offer, especially in these challenging times. · I would like to report that our Summer Session was a tremendous success with a full enrollment (see story on p. 2), and although our enrollment this fall is down slightly from last year as is the case with many peer schools, we have 32 states and 9 nations represented by our student body. The Admissions Department under the leadership of Jeffrey Hicks is working with parents to establish a parents' recruitment network to augment and assi.st in spreading the good word about the Cardigan opportunity.

There were a number of firsts this past year in activities that were initiated to strengthen the overall program of the School, all of which are being continued this year. A Parents Council was formed with the purpose of offering parents more opportunity to become involved in the life of the School. Out of that council came the determination to augment the School's fundraising by planning and conducting an auction. The first effort last February raised $14,000 for the Annual Fund, and plans are already underway for this year's Winter Weekend Auction February 2.

Marsha Kelley, Maureen Torgerson and Diana Dumont deserve special thanks for their work and le;idership last year.

Cardigan also conducted its first Boston phonathon last year, using phones at the Boston Company for which Kim Kenly '68 so graciously made arrangements.

Many parents participated with alumni volunteers in this program as well.

I am happy to report that the 1989-90 Annual Fund total represented a 30% increase over the previous year. I hope you will take time to review the Annual Fund Report in this issueofThe Chronicle. 1989-90 was a good year for the Annual Fund, but we hope that 1990-91 will be even better.

Cardigan is significant because of what it is as a total community. Its influence on its students is not determined so much by the length of its course offerings or the excellence of its remedial program, but because of its collective character and heart.

We are deeply grateful for the extensive support shown by the friends of the school in the past year. Without this support, we could not continue at the same level of excellence.

As I begin my second year at this extraordinary institution, once again may I say how truly delighted I am to be a part of the Cardigan family.

CMS Trustee Development Committee Examines School's .,., Needs for the Future Over the past year, the Development Committee of the Board, under the leadership of Matthew Bronfman '74, has studied Cardigan's needs for the future . The firm of Marts and Lundy was retained to review the

School's capability for raising the support to meet those needs. Representatives from Marts and Lundy met with the Committee and the full Board in August and made recommendations about steps that would need to be taken to ready Cardigan for future major fundraising.

One of those recommendations was the conduct of meetings with some of

Cardigan's constituents to discuss future goals for the School , and preparations are now being made for holding several such consultation meetings this year.

Other recommendations were made about building improved development office systems and information and building a s tronger annual giving program.

1990-91 Annual Fund Kicks Off with October Phonathon Thirty-nine Cardigan volunteers gathered in Boston evenings from October 16-18 to call Cardigan parents and alumni about supporting the school through the Annual Fund. Trustee F. Coming ("Kim") Kenly '68 secured the use of his offices at PanAgora Asset Management for Cardigan's second annual phonathon. Thanks are extended to Kim and · all the parent, alumni and faculty volunteers for all their help. A special thanks goes to Cardigan's Board

Chairman Savage Frieze, who drove all the way from his home in New Jersey to participate in the calling.

Over $25,000 was raised from 'never' and regular givers who pledged specific gifts. Many others pledged unspecified amounts. Dave Mccusker '80, Director of Alumni Affairs and organizer of the phonathon, said, "The large number of enthusiastic volunteers who partipcipated in the event was the real reason for our success."

Cardigan welcomes Faith Degenhart as its new Director of Development, as the school begins its preparations for a major fundraising effort. Degenhart, who has been at the school since mid-July of this year, has twenty years of experience in the development field.

"I find Cardigan an extremely friendly place, and I look forward to working with Headmaster Cameron Dewar and the Trustees as we enter a pre-campaign mode," she said.

Degenhart's previous positions included six years in development at Wellesley College, where she also re-

ceived her A.B. She has also served as chief development official at Emmanuel College in Boston , Andover-Newton Theological School in Newton, Massachusetts, where she earlier received a masters degree, and Green Mountain College.

Faith spent three years with the firm of Snelling, Kolb & Kuhnle, Inc. as fundraising counsel before spending a year at Colby-Sawyer College to develop their annual giving program. She makes her home in Alexandria, New Hampshire.

Summer project winners get just desserts When faced with the prospect of a juicy steak followed by an ice cream sundae, most junior high students will go to great lengths to do what is required. In this case, five industrious Cardigan boys will be rewarded for their outstanding summer projects, which ranged from the futuristic to the down-to-earth.

Eighth grader Ken Johnson won the award for best presentation with his excellent report on patching and refinishing a motorboat. Ken, an avid fisherman, wasted no time in putting his craft to the test once it was ready.

Senior Nicholas Swogger proved that he has an artist's eye with his photographic journal of the British Isles. Nick compiled a travel scrapbook which included eye-catching shots of Scottish castles.

Eighth grader Karl Hutter, a repeat prize winner this year, earned the "2 1st century prize." Karl explored the wonders of Auto-CAD, or computeraided design, and put together a report complete with color graphics.

Eighth grader James Geoghegan and senior Erik Oberg won prizes for their skill in woodworking. James constructed a beautiful Shaker chair, while Erik designed and built a practical home entertainment cabinet.

Honorable mention went to sen-

iors Shawn Damon and Christian Edwards and eighth graders David Costa and Michael Kirschner.

Senior Matt Daly and eighth graders Deron Quint and Chris Simons have led the team as tri-captains. Chris and Deron have been the big scorers for the squad , along with se nior Gray Thouron, while Matt has anchored the team in goal for the second year in a row.

Coach Neil Brier notes, "It's a very young team, with over half of the players in the eighth grade, but they are very enthusiastic and hardworking."

Coach Stewart Richmond added as the team prepared for the Eaglebrook tournament, "We're gelling at the right time."

Season highlights so far have included victories over previously undefeated Holderness and Kimball Union Academy teams.

Possibly the most exciting game was an emotional overtime battle with Kearsarge. The Cougars won with 30 seconds left in the second overtime on a direct kick by Chris Simons.

ALUMNI NEWS Alumni Spotlight:

Do.browski goes behind the scenes in Soviet Union In all future editions of the Chronicle, an ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT section will be included which will feature the exciting travels, adventures, or successes that an alumnus has enjoyed in the recent past. In our first attempt at this type of article, I was fortunate that a friend and alumnus of the school provided the subject matter. In the future, we will need to get your input about interesting stories.

Dave Dobrowski '81 was afforded a wonderful experience over the summer when he travelled to the Soviet Unon for three weeks of vacation. I was able to speak to Dave about his trip ...

-David McCusker '80 -CMS: How did this trip come about for you?

-Dave: Well, a good friend of mine from college has a sister who worked at the U.S. consulate in Leningrad. She was there for a one-year internship and because her.one year was close to completion, she invited her brother, Steve, to come for a visit. Steve, in tu'rn, invited me and I decided that I should take advantage of the opportunity.

-CMS: Was Steve's sister able to help you get aroun.d the Soviet Union?

-Dave: Yes. Sue speaks Russian fluently and was with us for most of our day trips. Without her we would have been completely lost. Because she worked for .the consulate, she was able to get us diplomatic passes for a lot of places that would ordinarily be restricted to tourists.

She also had special plates on her car that indicated she was from the consulate. I think thi s also helped to expedite some of the routine checks we had when we entered different areas. For example, we were among the first westerners allowed into Vilnius , Lithuania. .

-CMS: What were some of the highlights of the trip?

-Dave: Probably the most fun we had was in the city of Sochia on the Black Sea. This is the Soviet Union's version of a resort. We also spent some time in Moscow, which was impressive in many respects. Because of the great political importance to the country, being in Red Square and seeing the Kremlin were also

Alumni affairs has big plans Greetings to all Alumni!

Dave Dobrowski '81 (far right) spreads some CMS cheer behind the Iron Curtain. highli ghts. Steve and I saw all the museums, churches, and statues that tourists are expected to see and they are beautiful , but for me, the high point of the trip came whenever we were able to mingle and speak with the Soviet people.

-CMS: How often were you able to speak with the people?

-Dave: More often than you might think.

We usually had to initiate the conversations, and then the person might not speak English, but a surprising number did. It was through these conversations that we got a real sense of the living conditions here. Unfortunately, there are not visible, tangible signs of improvement for the citizens. Perestroika and glasnost may be ideal s for the country's future, but at this point, the economic situation is disastrous. When you witness the tremendou s display s of wealth in the government-owned statues, museums, and building, and then realize that it is difficult for the average family to get food and other necessities that we take for granted in the U.S., you begin to understand why the people are so disheartened and impatient with the changes they hear are coming.

-CMS: Do you think that the people don't believe the changes will happen?

-Dave: I don't know if they believe the changes will happen or not. I think they are impatient and don't see their

condition improving in the near future.

We were able to meet the assistant secretary of protocol for the Soviet Union, and he told us something that encouraged us to think that change is in their future. He told us quite frankly that he might consider a career change to the private sector if it is possible to do so.

(No te: Dave and I visited the Soviet Union in 1982 with the Cardigan hockey team.)

-CMS: How has the Soviet Uriion changed since we were there?

-Dave: It's hard to say because we were there for such a short peri.od of time. I do remember that I thought the Soviet hockey players had such old, beat-up equipment that they looked like they were from the fifties. The economy has not really improved much since then.

-CMS: Did that trip with Cardigan have any effect on your eventual interest in the Soviet Union?

-Dave: Definitely. That Cardigan trip really piqued my interest in that country.

At St. Paul's, I took every course offered that involved the Soviet Union. At Bowdoin, one of my concentrations was in Soviet Political and Economic Studies. This trip is really the culmination of an interest in the Soviet Union that started when I was at Cardigan.

Powers '75 Heads Boston Chapter

Director of Affairs Dave McCusker '80 and Chairman of the Trustee Alumni Committee Kim Kenly '68 plan to improve Cardigan's alumni network with the addition of class secretaries and an expanded reunion schedule.

We are pleased to report that Scott Powers '75 has accepted the appointment as Chairman of the Greater Boston Alumni Chapter for Cardigan.

After he left Cardigan, Scott went on to St. Paul's School in Concord, NH, and then to Harvard University. Presently, Scott is living in Arlington, Massachusetts and working for the Boston Company.

Cardigan sincerely thanks Scott for his time and effort as he begins working with other volunteers in developing alumni programs. in the Boston area.

In the previous edition of the Cardigan Chronicle, I was introduced as the new director of alumni affairs, and it was stated then that I would be "starting to reorganize the alumni office." After meeting with the Trustee Alumni Committee and working closely with Chairman Kim Kenly '68, I would now.like to convey to you some of our plans to improve upon alumni relations.

Over the past two months, I have tried to come up with one statement that summarizes our goals, encompassing everything we want to accomplish. One of the versions of our statement is this: "To promote awareness of Cardigan life among alumni through greater involvement in school-related activites and to encourage participation of a larger number of alumni in various roles and school programs."

In order to achieve this goal, we have several ideas for programs which we feel will addresss the different aspects of alumni involvement. I will elaborate on a couple of the ideas, which we hope to implement by the new year.

The first and most tangible of these ideas *ill be the creation of the position of class secretary for each class. Responsibilities of the class secretary will include, among other things, gathering, writing, and submitting "class notes" for publication in the Chronicle. The class secretary will act as the liaison among cla'ssmates and between the school and hi s classmates, thereby creating new avenue of communication.

Some of the other ideas we have for strengthening our alumni network include, in some instances, expansion of groups already in existence within the alumni structure. For example, class agents have traditionally been the backbone of alumni relations at Cardigan.

With the new programs we would like to implement, the class agents will need assistance from other volunteers to support the various programs. One area where a new program would need the support of more than one individual is alumni class reunions . We would like to designate one weekend a year as Alumni Reunion Weekend. The organization of such a weekend -- to coordinate the return of the class and to plan some of the programs for the weekend -- will require several people who have the time and energy to do this.

There are many other plans and programs that we feel will revitalize alumni relations at Cardigan. Unfortunately , limited space prohibits me from elaborating on these at this time, but they wil be included in future editions.

For anyone who would like to become involved, we will encourage your participation and can use your enthusiasm to put some of these programs in place. Please feel free to contact me at school with any of your ideas or if you would like to be involved. Our number is (603) 523-4321. In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from you!
