Student "Knowledge Master" Team is First in NH This winter 20 eighth graders took part in an interscholastic contest requiring quick reflexes, stamina, and a fierce competitive spirit. They were part of no athletic team, however. These students captured first place in New Hampshire in the 15th Knowledge Master Open, a cerebral competition involving 3,565 junior high schools from around the world. "I thought they did amazingly well for their first time," said team advisor Mrs. Thurza Small. "We had no idea what we were getting into." The team earned points for both the speed and accuracy with which their answers were entered into the computer. Eighth grader Andy Bay remarked, "There were a few more answers that we should have gotten right, but we did very well. It was a lot of fun." Student teams from as far away as Japan answered 200 questions on topics such as history, English, mathematics, and sports. Each team took part in the contest on its own school grounds by means of specially-programmed compulcr Ji:::,k.;::,.
The Cardigan team placed 95th overall, putting them in th~ top three percent. They ranked 13th among schools with under 200 students. "It was very entertaining," said Phil Jolles, who lent his expertise in the areas of science and culture. "There was a wide field of questions, and we all had

an equal share in answering them." Results of the contest were compiled by Academic Hallmarks, the Colorado publisher that sponsors the event.
The semi-annual contest will take place again in April. Phil has no doubts abouttheteam'schanceforsuccess: "We are going to defend the title! "
In an effort to tie classroom work in with the latest scientific developments, science teacher Mary Amos invited geologist C. Page Chamberlain of Dartmouth College to talk to the Cardigan student body about the formation of the famous New Hampshire granite. Chamberlain and his colleague Leslie Sonder recently published their controversial findings in Science magazine. According to the theory, the mountains of granite were formed about 400 million years ago by heat coming from radioactive uranium and thorium. The geologist spoke to the school community in NovP.mhP.r
School Adopts Energy
Conservation Measures We don't usually think of electric companies as trying to help save the customer money , but because of an unusual partnership, Cardigan Mountain School will experience exactly that phenomenon. Thanks to Granite State Electric's "Energy Initiative" Program, the school has been able to install all new lighting fixtures that will pay for themselves in under a year. For every watt that is saved by the more energy-efficient lighting, Granite State offers a 65-cent reduction off the cost of the installation. The school saved roughly $50,000 on this basis alone, and the remaining cost of installation will be recovered in less than ten months because of the energy savings. "Cardigan was the perfect candi-
date for the program," said Jay Boucher, president of Defiance Electric, Inc. "It's an older campus with many incandescent bulbs and inefficient fluorescent fixtures." Boucher, whose company has been the contractor for the school since 1979, added that Cardigan is at the end of the electric company's distribution line, so there is a great deal of strain on the system. Thus, the conservation measures benefit both the school and Granite State Electric. The electric company had reached its capacity for producing electricity, according to Boucher. Rather than face the huge expense of building new generators, Granite State adopted the Energy Initiative program along with the Design 2000 plan for new construction. "This was a crisis management program. There was no way they could keep up with the growth that occurred in the 1980's," he added. There are additional benefits of the new lighting fixtures that go beyond conservation. The old fluorescent "cool white" bulbs that were located in most of the classrooms and offices can produce glare and eye strain. "The new bulbs give off a warmer light that is easier on your eye and makes things look more natural," Boucher said.
Student Recycling Club Pitches In

about the theory of plate tectonics, a subject which had been introduced in all the science classes prior to his visit. Ninth grader David Rosen studied earthqu·akes and plate movements in his earth science class, so he was familiar with Dr. Chamberlain's reference to the New Madrid fault and the earthquake predictions in the news last year. David said of the presentation, "It was interesting because . we knew what he was talking about, having studied it ahead of time." Chamberlain also presented a slide show of his travels that had led to the evolution of the new theory about the New Hampshire granite. Testing the hypothesis involved visits to Pakistan and the Himalayas, a mountain range still in the process of being formed. After the presentation, the geologist answered questions that students had submitted during class.

CAN YOU SPELL T-R-E-M-E-N-D-0-U-S ? Ninth grader Aaron Pena turned the tables on his spelling rival in the CMS Winter Spelling Bee. The word "sieve" spelled defeat for defending champion Karl Hutter. Aaron spelled the word correctly and went on to victory by reeling off "tremendous." The victory was sweet, as he had finished second to Karl in last year's contest. Finishing in third and fourth place were ninth grader Andrew Sawyer and eighth grader Peter Allatt, respectively. The one-two punch of Aaron and Karl will meet again in April for the spring edition of the contest. Get your dictionaries ready!

Club members take the weekly haul to a collection area behind the gym and eventually to the Canaan Recycling Center. Typically, the weekly totals include four or five bags of paper, a halfpickup truck of cardboard from the kitchen, two barrels of cans and three cases of assorted containers.
Weigh the Waste Food service manager Larry Conlon has been a big help in the School's conservation efforts with his implementation of the D AKA food service "Weigh the Waste" program. Thanks to increased vigilance in the dining room, the school community
has reduced the amount of solid waste from a weekly high ofabout l 700pounds to 1370 pounds. "We're trying to educate the students about waste," said Mr. Conlon. "This helps the environment in addition to saving the school money." One important strategy in reducing waste has been napkin-stacking. Faculty members on duty in the dining room count piles of eight napkins for the student waiters to use in setting the tables. The increased awareness of paper waste has paid off. While the school used to use almost a whole case of napkins per week, the consumption level is now down to half a case, according to Mr. Conlon. The food service employees have also made a point of saving old cardboard boxes for collection by the recycling club.

The following morning's events began with opening remarks by Mr. Brier. "Dr. King died for the cause of brotherhood. I ask each of you to have the courage to approach the morning with an open mind," he said. The first event was a viewing of the film "Amazing Grace," a film about the life of Martin Luther King. Afterwards students were divided into groups of ten to discuss the theme of brotherhood. This proved to be a very popular
part of the day, as students had a chance to air their views on everything from the war in the Gulf to the issue of the homeless. "Martin Luther King day is good for all of us becuase it helps us remember what mistakes our country made and how we can change things in the future," said eighth grader Mike Boutin. "The program was excellent," added senior Andy Sawyer. "Mr. Brier did a great job with organizing the day's events." The morning's program concluded with remarks from Reverend Harry Mahoney.

PARENTS' NEWS
Robert Whitman and Johann Cazanas, Editors
A Parent's View of the Weekend This parent has reached the age where the ski slopes beckon no longer but not the age where he wants to stare at Florida's far horizons all winter. Somewhere in between he is, and an invitation to visit Cardigan just at winter's midpoint, as far from summer as one can get, was not the most welcome. But not to be denied, either, as it was Parents' Weekend and I am happily, most happily, one of those. So checking boots and longjohns, the anti-freeze and snow tires and the STP in the gas tank, Nancy and I pushed off for the frozen north, as did over 200 other parents. And I was more than glad we did. Even delighted. The Cardigan family are charming hosts and are even training the more callow of our youth to be the same. From the headmasterto the kitchen crew, people were helpful, friendly, informed, flexible , kind. Clearly, the high standards the School requires of our boys, it applies to itself and all its members as well. The warm welcome we received more than counter-balanced the sub-zero weather the first morning. It was a full weekend, too, as is reported elsewhere, but surely most important was to hear from our son's teachers and advisors about his experience with them. Sublime strengths and trip-up weaknesses, glorious achievements and wretched failures: all were discussed with friendly honesty. "They do know this boy," we thought. "And knowing him, they wiii heip him im-
prove, for sure." And then later with our son, we realized, "Hey! They've improved him already." My favorite time was in the chapel service just before we all said our goodbyes on Sunday morning. "Use your Giant Word. Say YES to life but don't be afraid to say NO to temptation," advised Rev. Harry Mahoney. "Help us, 0 Lord, to know how to change." Sitting there together, the Whitman family embraced by the Cardigan family ; I reflected on this Quiet Thought from the program: A FAMILY IS PEOPLE Who Grow together in faith Work together in hope Worshiptogether in love Bear one another's sorrow Forgive one another's faults Share one another's joys Need one another Love one another Support one another Look for God in one another See God in everyone Live as individuals Are separate yet one Are joined by God's Presence Living in each other. Recalling the Rev . Harry Mahoney's giant word, I drove at the speed limit all the way down the interstate and back home. - Robert Whitman (fo.ther of Duke Whitrm_'1 '92)

Our affair began on the fi~st day of school, 1989, with excited parents and students making the inevitable introductions. In a short span we met families from California, New York, Connecticut, Mexico and points literally North, South, East and West! And, thus, we began our experience as Cardigan parents. Living merely 85 miles away from the campus provided the opportunity to visit more frequently. This mixed blessing also provided the time to observe and discuss school life with many Cardigan students. We found that during the breaks, some students were unable to travel home. Innocently enough, we invited one student to our home ... then two ... then seven ... and eight... and on and on. Though we marvel in retrospec:t, these young men came prepared with the discipline of their school schedule. Nothing that we planned was unwel-

WINTER SPORTS REPORT~ The CMS Wrestling Tournament: A History Founded in January of 1983 by Cardigan coach William X. Barron, the Cardigan Mountain Wrestling Tournament has grown from 14 teams and 163 wrestlers from 5 states in its first year to 24 teams which brought 228 wrestlers from 7 states to the 1990 meet. While initially the tournament was designed to provide a mid-season evaluation which separated wrestlers of differing ability and experience, due to demand it now provides middle school competition of the highest caliber. Fourtime champ Rogers Park Junior High refers to the Cardigan Tournament in its team brochure as simply: "The JHS New Englands." Pointers from an Olympian There are some unique facets of the tournament which make the day a special one for all involved. For the past five years, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Bobby Weaver has spent the entire day working with wrestlers and coaches in the wrestling room, offering pointers, insights and lessons from experience.
Each team selects one of its aihletes to be recognized .at day's end for his attitude, effort, and team spirit.
For many young athletes this exposure and personal contact is the highlight of the day , an experience which helps them focus on aspects other than winning and losing. In much the same spirit, each team selects one of its athletes to be recognized at day's end for his attitude, effort, and team spirit. There is no outstanding wrestler award, but a wrestling book is presented to the athlete with the most falls in the least amount of time. It is our hope, in the spirit of junior high wrestling, that wrestlers and coaches will emphasize technique, nutrition, conditioning, and appreciation of the sport more than weight-cutting and competition. The Rodd D. Brickell Foundation In 1986 the tournament also began its·association with the Rodd D. Brickell Foundation. Rodd graduated from Cardigan in 1979, the year before Coach Barron arrived from Colorado to begin the CMS program. A popular and active boy, Rodd involved himself in wrestling while at Tabor and grew to love the sport. His life was tragically cut short during his freshman year at college, so his parents and brother Rick '78 have developed the Foundation as a means of giving back to wrestling what it meant to Rodd. With the Foundation's generous annual support, the tournament has been able to recognize team as well as individual champions each year since 1986. The Foundation has also sponsored the Cardigan wrestling and athletic programs, enabling them to update and purchase equipment as well as provide annual wrestling camp scholarships.

Sports-in-Brief:
Cougars Face International Competition Icemen Dominate the Opposition Under the direction of coaches Jim · Burnett and David McCusker, the Cardigan varisty hockey team has been virtually unstoppable. With three fourths of the season completed, the Cougars have posted an impressive 20-2-2 record. The season began with a bang when the squad emerged victorious at the New Hampton School Tournament. The team ha~ continued to roll over its opponents with the exception of a tough Belmont Hill team, which handed Cardigan both its losses. Other highlights of the season include a recent 6-5 win over St. Paul's junior varsity team and wins over three Canadian teams during the Winter Weekend trip to Toronto. The Cougars were especially grateful for thewelcome they received in Toronto from parents Andy and Barbara Scace. · Defenseman Deron Quint leads all scorers with 50 goals and 20 assists. Senior Erik Oberg, who joins Deron as co-captain of this year's team, has anchored the defense along with secondyear varsity goalie Derek White. Adding offensive punch are seniors Zach Barrett and Kai Hirvonen, both in their first year on the team. The squad has also benefited from the experience of returning seniors Sean Casey, Shawn Damon, Jeff Haskins, and Andrew Scace.
Varsity Basketball Stays on Even Keel The varsity basketball team had compiled a respectable 8-6 record at press time, including a hard-fought victory over a strong Kearsarge team during Parents' Weekend. Seniors Scott Fath and Matt Daly have led the attack from the low post position. Dubbed the "twin towers" by
Coach Lynch, the two have led the squad in scoring and rebounds. Though hurt by the loss of cocaptain Gray Thouron to a broken ankle, the team has been able to draw on the experience of returning stalwarts Tate Haire and Ray Ramos at guard as well as forward Morgan Fisher. Ninth grader Matt Higgins has been a welcome new addition to the team. Rounding out the team are eighth graders Patrick Judge, Andrew Martinez, and Junior Rivera.
Wrestlers Earn Respect on the Mat
On a trip to Montreal during the February break, the squad tried its hand at international freestyle wrestling, winning 22 out of 26 bouts in addition to taking in the sights of the city.
Skiers Weather a Rebuilding Year With only three returning members from last year, the Alpine ski team figured on having a difficult season. Thanks to the experience of returning seniors Chris Montgomery, Kyle Power, and Randy Schubert, however, the team was able to build a strong foundation for next year. Coaches Richmond and Gregg were pleased to have seventh graders Yarrow Thorne and Alex Cazanas make the varsity squad. Eighth grader Jon Falby , an Eastern circuit racer, was also a valuable addition. The team's lack of experience ruled out the possibility of a winning season, but the skiers were able to throw a scare into archrival Eaglebrook on Parents' Weekend, losing by only two points.
Led by tri-captains Joey Gonzalez, Aaron Pena , and Fred Barney, the varsity wrestlers have made a name for themselves both individually and as a team. The squad defended its honor at Cardigan's own wrestling tournament, with a best-ever fourth-place finish out of 22 teams. First in their weight classes were captains Aaron and Joey, while 7th grader Phil McNeill captured second in his class. Other students who placed in their weight classes were senior David Pucci (4th), 7th grader Evan deBourguignon (3rd), 8th grader Michael Colligan (4th), senior Carter Katchen (3rd), senior Fred Barney (4th), and 8th grader Matt Crane (3rd). In the Northern New England prep tournament, the Cougars had a number of individual successes, despite the fact that the opponents were all high school students. Seniors Joey and Carter both vanquished previously undefeated opponents to become champions of their respective weight Seniors Scott Fath and Morgan Fisher go up for classes. a rebound against Kearsarge .

On June 14th, 1947 atthe Old North Church, the School graduated its first class of seven young men. Hardly an auspicious beginning for the startup school. Little did Headmaster William R. Brewster know that the first boy to graduate would go on to become one of the great legal minds of the twentieth century. This graduate was none other than F. Lee Bailey. I had the good fortune of speaking with Mr. Bailey to catch up on his recent doings. I enjoyed making the acquaintance of a man who exudes energy and enthusiasm, whether he is discussing his memories of a school he attended almost forty-five years ago or a project with which he is currently involved. Following are excerpts from my conversation with Cardigan's illustrious first graduate. Dave Mccusker '80 CMS: What have you been doing lately? Bailey: I'm still trying cases nationally and internationally. We have offices located in Boston, New York, Miami and Palm Beach. I am also involved in a business that refurbishes old boats and planes that we then resell. Planes and boats have been interests of mine for many years, which makes this business venture very enjoyable.

The evening was a great way to have some fun and catch up with old classmates that we don't see as often as we would like. Keep an eye on your mail for upcoming Cardigan alumni events in the Boston area and around the country.

CMS: What are some of your fondest memories as a student at Cardigan? Bailey: Well, most of my memories at Cardigan involve the outdoors. There was a real emphasis on working and enjoying the School's wonderful natural surroundings. I have memories of skiing, skating, swimming, and fishing, as well as helping out in Clancy's kitchen. CMS: Is it true that you once cooked for the entire school? Bailey: It was part of my scholarship to help out in the kitchen, and Clancy would let me use his old army cookbook. There were times when I would cook

The position of Class Secretary has been created to increase the interaction among classmates and also to improve the "class notes" section of the Chronicle. Pat Gilligan '80 and Matt Ramsby '81 have taken on this new role for their respective classes. Pat and Matt have already contacted some of their friends and would like to encourage their classmates to contact them with any news they may have. Our plan is to have one Class Secretary for every class and, again, we encourage any alumnus who would like to join this growing team of Cardigan supporters.

Dan Moody '80 wit\ be the Chairman of the Houston Alumni Chapter for Cardigan and Stew Dixon '80 will assume the same role for the Los Angeles area. For many years Dan and Stew have been enthusiastic supporters of the School and are looking forward to planning events for Cardigan alums in their areas.

Richard has agreed to be the Chairman of the Alumni Reunion Committee which is starting to take form. This group will be instrumental in the plans for our Alumni Reunion Weekend, slated to take place on September 27-29 of 1991. (see Richard's article on page 7 for details) As Cardigan's alumni network continues to expand I would like to emphasize the ·need for even more volunteers for some of our programs. If you would like to become involved in any capacity please drop me a line at school or give me a call. In the meantime,best wishes to all Cardigan alums and your families.

(cont'd from p.7)
Bailey: Because it was Cardigan's first year they did hot have any reputation for academics or for anything else. But, as it is with many experiences, Cardigan provided lots of opportunities for those students who were looking to learn. Alumni editor's note: I encouraged Mr. Bailey to visit campus again soon, and he informed me that he would like to do so whenever his busy schedule allowed him . We are certainly proud of Lee Bailey's accomplishments and proud to claim him as one of our own. Good luck and continued success to Lee Bailey and his family from everyone at Cardigan!

Host Families (from p. 4) dents. Our trip was filled with joy and remembrances, and our extended Cardigan family is planning yet another reunion this year. We urge all families to discuss the possibilities of becoming a host family. It has been our experience that as with most giving of oneself, a far greater reward is received. Our goal is that our students enjoy visits away from school, our devoted faculty share some time with family and friends, and others may celebrate many affairs to remember. (Editor's note: Jim and Johann Cazanas are available as a resource for prospective host families.)
Strange, But True If you are familiar with the music from the television show 'The Twilight Zone" keep it in mind as you read this true story. Mike Garrison is presently a 6th grade student at Cardigan. One day, in the fall, Mike was walking to the infirmary when a twinkling light caught his eye. The light was coming from the ground by the side of the road. Mike reached down and pulled out of the ground what appeared to be a brass plaque. After cleaning off the dirt Mike read the plaque's inscription: "Mike Garrison-7th grade- 1965" Twenty five years ago Mike's dad, Mike, was a seventh grade student at Cardigan.

Fall '91 Alumni Reunion Weekend Take out those date books, daytimers, and calendars and mark out the weekend of September 27-29, 1991 for Cardigan's first-in-years, on-campus Alumni Reunion Weekend. There is only one thing that could be better than a weekend in New England in the fall, and that is renewing old friendships back on campus during that splendid time of the year. All alumni are invited, and anniversary classes are especially urged to participate. Special reunions are in the works for the classes of 1951 (40th), 1961 (30th), 1966 (25th), 1971 (20th), and 1981 (10th) . It's been years since there has been an open invitation for all to gather and see the great changes that have taken place up "on the hill". How long has it been since you were on campus? Probably before the Stoddard Center was built, right? Or maybe it was even before the Kenerson Athletic Center. The cornerstone on the Chapel is dated 1963, so if your memories of Sunday morning chapel services takes you back to the auditorium in the basement in Hinman then it has certainly been too long! Plans for the weekend are shaping up early so if you've got good ideas for activities or how we can get a good representation from your classmates we'd appreciate hearing from you. Look for news on this reunion in the Chronicle and in your mailbox. Volunteers are
needed from the anniversary classes to form the Reunion Committee, so if you'd like to see.a good turnout and would like to help plan this· weekend, why not help out by contacting the school's alumni office at (603) 523-4321. Remember, accommodations in New England are at a premium in the fall, so plan early. The School will be sending you information on nearby inns, bed and breakfasts, or hotels. School will be in full session so your family can really get a feel for what Cardigan is all _about. Do plan to join us! - Richard Clancy '67 Alumni Reunion Chairman
