'91-'92 Student Leadership Positions

Dates to Remember

Dr. Hutchinson had two themes in mind as he spoke to this year's graduating class. He addressed the ideas of change and obligation, explaining how they applied to the graduates themselves as well as to all others in attendance at the ceremony.

Dr. Hutchinson spoke of two kinds of changes, the first being the transitions and milestones in the personal lives of the graduates as they passed from here on to high school , from high school to college, and from college to the world. "... each milestone in particular has a common theme," he said. "That theme is that there is a transition that brings more freedom of choice. But what happens.to these graduates as they pass through all of these transitions is that their lives become exceedingly less structured by other people .. .With that ~eduction of structure from outside is the fac t that there are expectations that the structure must come from within. And that is where the challenge comes in."

He went on to say that challenges and opportunities would not only present themselves in the graduates' personal lives, but in the broader context of the world they live in as well. This led into Hutchinson's discussion of the second kind of change - the change that continually occurs in our world. He depicted this century as being particularly replete

"... use that opportunity to make a difference in this world. If the world needs anything right now, it needs informed, committed leaders .... " with "ever accelerating change" due to incredible growth in technology. Among the technological advances he listed were: the first automobile, the advent of radio and television, the growth of telecommunications, the beginning of space exploration, the advent of computers and electronics, and finally, some newer advances in various realms such as genetic engineering.

The issues of change brought Dr. Hutchinson to his second theme: obligation. Hutchinson implied that due to all of these technological advances, "... the dominant force that is going to shape probably the next25-30 years (key years for these graduates) is solving the whole issue of environmental impact... What has become exceedingly important is that we have to come to grips with the impact of technology on the environment...The culture of the environmentalists and the

culture of the industrialists seem to be at odds, and that can't continue."

The graduates, according to Hutchinson, therefore have two obligations.

One of these is a personal obligation to appreciate and respect both the opportunity they've had to enjoy a "very special experience at Cardigan" as well as the

Dr. Charles E. Hutchinson Dean of Thayer School of Engineering Keynote Speaker family support they have had to make that experience possible.

The more important obligation of theirs, he went on, is "to use that opportunity to make a difference in this world.

If the world needs anything right now, it needs informed, committed leaders, and you are certainly on the track in preparing yourselves to be those leaders of tomorrow ."

In closing, Hutchinson said, ".... I will NOT wish you luck, which a lot of people do. I don't believe in wishing luck, but · I've learned that the harder you work, the luckier you get--that if you wait around for luck, you're in deep trouble. So I will simply wish you well and congratulate you on your graduation. I will suggest along the way that you also try to have some fun!" (continued on page 4)

SPORTS REPORT SPRING TEAMS' WRAP-UP It was an energetic spring for the students participating on all of the teams as good weather arrived early. Tracks, fields , and courts were soon dry, and the ice melted to open up the waterfront. The weather held, and few games were cancelled. With time to train, teams were better prepared for their opponents, and it turned out to be a very successful season for all the varsity sports.

BASEBALL: The Varsity Team had an outstanding year ending at 16-2. Their schedule was very full, and they played some very strong opponents such as Lebanon and Bow Memorial. Erik Oberg: MVP; Ryan Leonard: MIP; Deron Quint: Coaches'Award. The J. V. Team stuggled all season earning only 4 wins against 11 losses. The play did improve, though, and many team members will form a solid base for the '92 season. As Coach Randy Macdonald said," The Reserve Baseball Team had it all; the only problem was that they couldn't hit." The use of the Batting Tin Cameron Matheson ·93 went all out fielding balls for the Varsity Baseball Team. practice proved to be the answer, and the team won four out of their last five games.

Mr. Barron comes from a family that values education: each of his six brothers and sisters is currently in a teaching or helping profession.

His brother Tom, an environmental lawyer and a Rhodes Scholar, writes children's stories in his leisure time; his recently published novel, H earlight, is part of the 7th and 9th grade English curriculum at CMS . Their mother, a life-long learner who pursued graduate studies in geology at the age of 50, filled their home with books and writings, and, together with their father, instilled a love of learning and a desire to help others.

Mr. Barron's other summer roles include teaching math, leading wrestling and soccer activities, coordinating the weekend trips to the school's outdoor retreat on Clark Pond, and counseling students on an individual and group basis.

Further Advice For Graduates (from p. 1) In addition to Dr. Hutchinson's keynote speech, the graduates also received sourid advice from Mr. Savage C. Frieze, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Headmaster Dewar.

Mr. Frieze's emphasis lay in acknowledging the faculty for a "job well done", and he encouraged the graduates to do the same: "... those are the people who have done more for you than you probably know at this time. They are the teachers who helped you develop your minds and taught you good study habits and how to organize your time ...They have worked with great dedication on your behalf, and what they taught you will be the foundation for your years of further education.

You will continue to add to the benefits their teaching has given you at Cardigan.

Then they, your parents, and most of all you personally, will take pride in your future accomplishments."

The faculty ... "are the people who have done more for you than you probably know at this time ... " Mr. Frieze also encouraged the boys to appreciate Cardigan in the broader sense as a contributing factor to future success in high school , college, and theworking world.

Summer Well-Spent (from p.1) "The positive interaction among our young 'world citizens' remains one of the most lasting memories of the Summer Session," said Director Jim Burnett.

The Afternoon After the Academics The waterfront was the center of the activities program each afternoon.

Sailors, windsurfers, canoeists, kayakers, skin divers, and swimmers crisscrossed the lake. A new course was offered for those wishing to attain their SCUBA diving certification too.

Diverse Activities For those seeking to explore alternative events, horseback riding, trap shooting, and arts and crafts were available.

Popular field sports, such as soccer, la-

crosse, and baseball, rounded out the array of recreational games from which students elected to participate. Steve Fenton, this year's On-campus Activity Coordinatior, believed that the students' upbeat feelings about the program were due to the wide variety of activities available. "There's something for everyone here, " he said.

Time to Relax a Bit More Open or selected activity periods took place on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. On these particular days, Fenton aimed to offer a selection of activities that were less competitive "to allow the kids to relax a bit more." One was hkely to see the students doing things like playing hackey-sack, fishing , quietly reading, or smacking a croquet ball about. Certain students, however, opted to join the special off-campus activities during these three afternoons. Ruth Greenwood headed these trips, and her creativity enticed many students to depart in a van or bus for a fun-filled afternoon.

Residential Life More Than Dorms "Residential Life" at Cardigan meant much more than simply dormitory living. During Summer Session, under the direction of Bill Barron, Residential Life was replete with a regular schedule of dorm activities -- opportuni-

Dr. Dewar at Senior Banquet On the eve of Cardigan's 1991 graduation, the seniors listened attentively as their Headmasteroffered sound parting advice. Headmaster Cameron Dewar emphasized the importance of knowledge, wisdom and goodness.

"For these three elements liberally dosed with love will provide you with that which makes life worthwhile and ultimately successful," he said.

Regarding the salience of knowledge, the Headmaster went on to say that: "Leaming is a life long pursuit; it does not have limits. Further, knowledge rests not just upon discerning truth but also upon identifying error."

Mr. Dewar then addressed the theme of the quality of goodness , which he believes is inherent in people. He discussed the difference between visible goodness (i.e. volunteers assisting in a time of crisis, such as after a natural disaster) and "ordinary goodness" which takes place out of the limelight. He commended this particular Cardigan class for the legacy of goodness it was leaving the school. An example of this, he said, was the class' "remarkable help visiting hospitals and nursing homes and performing related community services."

"Learning is a lifelong pursuit; it does not have limits."

Headmaster Dewar then addressed his final topic: wisdom. This time he told a parable about two boys trying to fool a wise old man. After failing to do so, they soon realize just how wise the old man really is; they therefore accept.this wise man's parting advice: "In your hands you hold the seeds of failure, or the potential for success ."

"So," concluded Headmaster Dewar, "just as those two boys became wise, so I wish for you --the class of 1991 --wisdom combined with knowledge and goodness."

Mr. Barron has been at his task long enough now that the results of his efforts are coming full circle. Roger Woodberry , Class of '83 , has returned to CMS as an English teacher for the 1991 Summer Session. One of Mr. Barron's first students during the summer of 1980, Roger relates: "When I was at CMS, I had no idea how much effort Bill Barron surely must have spent working with me. He was a mentor for me while I was a student here, and he remains as much an inspiration for me now as he was then." WritesGrahamMucherman '88; "As your student I would like to say you taught me more than any other teacher has or will." Aaron Pena '91, captain of this past winter's wrestling team, put it this way: "As a great admirer of Mr. Barron, I try to emulate his determination, his perseverance, and his belief in others' abilitytoovercomeobstacles ... " Another student writes, "Please, Mr. Barron, don't ever let anyone slip away. There are many of us who come through Cardigan needing help down the long trail. Don't ever give up showing us the way."

Influencing the lives of others has always been Mr. Barron's goal in life. He states: "The operative word in my educational philosophy is 'individualization' : whether I am designing an individual program or determining a behavioral consequence, I

(from p. 3)

always try to keep in mind the person whom we're trying to help. What's going to be most relevant and appropriate for the student in terms of his/her own life experiene?"

Mr. Barron says he is frequently asked why he remains on the pre-secondary level. "I stay at Cardigan because I value the experience of teaching more than the destination. I want to help a student develop an understanding of how he or she best learns. In the long run that knowledge will be far more valuabfe than any specific content which is taught.

The real student is one who develops a facility with the questions rather than an ability to recognize the answers." In applying to himself what he looks for in his students, Mr. Barron adds : "lfl were not able to continue to grow, I would look for something else to do."

Mr. Barron says his mother has passed on to him many · of his most favorite quotes. Each day on the dorm bulletin board in the summer session office is a new "thought for the day." That day it was one from Albert Einstein: "Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value . He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives." The opportunity to influence the lives of today's young people still continues for teachers at Cardigan Mountain School.

ties for students to interact with one another outside of an academic or "regular activity" setting.

A Need for Silence The Reading and Rest Period was one aspect of Residential Life. The stu-

dents were required to be at their desks or on their beds with their doors open, quietly reading or writing a letter between 1:30 and 2:30 four days a week. This gave them a chance to settle down after lunch, catch up on their reading and/or much needed rest, and share some quiet time together. The students learned to respect each other's occasional need for silence. .

Cooperative Discussion & Resolutions On Thursdays, following regular afternoon activities, each dormitory got together for a planned group activity which may have included a discussion followed by pizza and games. Says Bili Barron, "Thursday night dorm meetings are planned as an opportunity for the residents of each floor, together with their affiliated day students and staff, to cooperatively discuss and resolve issues of com~unity concern. The activities which followed were _an _opportunity t9 put this cohesiveness into action. Some of these activities have included a campus clean-up, an afternoon trip to Clark Pond, ultimate frisbee, an extended dorm discussion, and work on the dorm project." Discussions on these evenings covered topics such as: "Adjustment to New Home/Setting," "How to Live With Others," and "How to Resolve/Avoid Conflicts."

Clark Pond Getaway Perhaps the most exciting dorm activity was the trip to Clark Pond. Mr. Barron's intention was that, come the end of the summer, most students got a chance to discover the "tranquility of our not-so-remote Clark Pond getaway." A unique facet of this dorm activity was that parents were welcome to join the outing!

With the constructive and diverse program, the experienced and capable faculty, and the positive attitude of all the students, this was a well-spent summer for everyone.

1990-1991 ANNUAL REPORT ·A message from the Headmaster Dear Friends of Cardigan, 1990-91 was another fine year for Cardigan. The record enrollment for the 1990 Summer Session set the tone for a successful fiscal year. Enrollments for the Regular Program held, and although last September we were a few boys short of our goal, over the period of the fall, that enrollment gap was eliminated and our total came to 178. The efforts of our expanded Admissions Office, well-managed finances, and an Annual Fund which reached and exceeded its goal by $50,000, brought in a balanced budget for the year.

I wish to thank the many parent and alumni volunteers who gave unstintingly of their time and resources to advance the cause of Cardigan around the country. Those who assisted with student recruitment area gatherings and activities were recognized by name in the spring issue of the Chronicle. I would also like to extend special thanks to Tris and Ruth Colket and Matthew and Fiona Bronfman for hosting Cardigan Consultation Dinners in Philadelphia and New York enabling some friends of the School to learn more about our future needs and directions.

Parents' Council members also deserve a heartfelt thanks for their dedication. In particular I wish to thank Andy and Barbara Scace for their work in establishing the Parents' Leadership Support Program, Woodie and Linda Haskins for their outstanding job of chairing the Council, and Cheryl Malloy, who , with Louise Sylvester, ran the February 1991 Parents' Auction which was so successful.

I know the Parents' Council members, as well as the whole Cardigan family, join me in extending deepest sympathy to Johann Cazanas and son Alex on the death of Jim on August 8. Johann and Jim were active members of the Council over the past two years and initated the very successful Host Family Program. Cardigan could not have stronger advocates than the Cazanas Family.

Planning for the Future . Cardigan ~as just completed its Self-Evaluation _S tudy for the New England Association of Schools and Coll~ges and will welcome the NEASC team to campus in late October. The timing is now right, with much of the data collected for the study, for Cardigan to move forward with the strategic planning so necessary to ensure the School's future. The Long Range Planning Committee of the Board of Trustees, under the leadership of Ken Merrill , met this summer with the Trustee Development Committee to review the School's assessment of need and to begin comprehensive planning for the future .

The external environment of a declining economy and its potential impact on Cardigan and other schools must be carefully considered. We must now determine how we can improve this institution which already does exceedingly well , and we must learn to carry its message not only to its traditional student markets, but also to new ones. The competition for students has never been more challenging in the middle school market according to our Director of Admissions Jeffrey Hu:ks. To help address these new challenges, I have appointed David Rogerson who will work with our Admissions staff on a part time basis. Dave has recently retired from Groton where he taught and also served for twelve years as Director of Admissions.

Like Cardigan, other independent junior schools are concerned about the external climate as they plan for the future, and together we have formed a Junior Board Schools Association which has received a start up grant from the National Association oflndependent Schools. Information from networking in this Association will be very helpful to Cardigan in our financial and strategic planning for the future.

An important member of the strategic planning team will be Cardigan's newly appointed business officer, David McClintic, who will come on staff January 1, 1992. Dave is already working with us part-time and will succeed Jackie Lary when she retires later in the year. Dave, who holds a Masters Degree in Business Administration, comes to us from Proctor Academy and has strategic planning as well as financial planning in his background.

Report from the Desk of the Director of Development The Year Just Ended Annual unrestricted support for 199192 was up significantly from the previous year and reached $210,000, seventy-six thousand more than in 1989-90. Support from Cardigan's Board members almost doubled in unrestricted dollars and provided 22.4 % of all unrestricted support. The Trustee Development Committee under the leadership of Matthew Bronfman, CMS '73, with the approval of the full Board, set an unrestricted goal for themselves of $40,000, considerably more than their collective unrestricted support in the past.

They then went on to raise $46,000.

Much of this year's success with the Annual Fund was also due to the work of the Leadership Support volunteers recruited to contact current parents and parents of alumni, and to solicit special gifts. Chip Dewar also deserves a vote of thanks for the time he committed to fundraising activities this past year.

Preparations for a Capital Program Under Matthew Bronfman's leadership, the Development Committee prioritized the list of Cardigan's needs and is now

Newly Reorganized Gift Clubs The Trustee Development Committee has reorganized, upgraded, and added to Cardigan's Gift Club Program. To stimulate increased giving among Cardigan's constituencies, more giving steps have been created, and levels changed. This new "step giving" program will be initiated during the 1991-92 Fund Year and is outlined below.

New Alumni and Parents Funds Cardigan's Annual Fund has always incorporated gifts from parents and alumni of the school, but with the developing parent and alumni organizations, each group will have its own funcl and its own goals as part of the Annual Fund in the future.

Cardigan's New Gift Clubs " (beginning in 1991-1992) The Pinnacle Society $10,000 or more The Headmaster's Club 5,000 to 9,999 The Founders' Club 2,500 to 4,999 The Hinman Society 1,000 to 2,499 E. M. Hopkins Club 500 to 999 Cardigan Club 250 to 499 Cougar Club 100 to 249

Woodie Haskins Appointed New Incorporator to the Board It was recently announced that Mr. Sherwood (Woodie) Haskins had been appointed to Cardigan's Board as an lncorporator. Woodie, a Cardigan past parent, has served Cardigan over the past several years in a number of ways , most notably as Parents' Council Chair with his wife Linda this past year and as a volunteer consultant to Cardigan's Trustee Development Committee.

Woodie is presently Associate Director of Developement for Phillips Exeter A cadem y where he is in charge of Capital and Planned Gifts.

The Year Ahead Janet and I .look forward to the opening of school on September 11. The excitement of seeing old and new faces when the boys arrive on campus never fades, and our faculty for the year ahead includes a number of new and highly qualified teachers.

Our 1991 Summer Session was an exceptionally good one. Enrollment was lower than the summer of 1990, but the students were a terrific group. They were serious about their studies and buckled down much to the delight of our summer faculty. And our 1991-92 Academic Year students seem as promising.

Mike and Melanie Garrison, newly appointed Parents' Council Chairs, and other members of the Parents' Council will be on hand Opening Day to greet new Cardigan parents and invite and answer questions about what being a Cardigan parent is like. The Parents Fall Weekend (October 5-6) will also be a highlight for us all.

I plan to meet this fall with a number of Cardigan friends around the country in a series of consultation cluster dinners which are planned for Chicago, Houston, Boston, and New York. I look forward to these meetings, for the two dinners held this past year were not only successful but most insightful. There are some real Cardigan fans out there.

Janet and I would also like to extend a warm invitation to all Cardigan parents, alumni, and friends to visit us on campus and share a bit of the Cardigan experience with us during 1991-1992.

Cameron K. Dewar, Headmaster

working with the Long Range Planning Committee to verify those needs. The need for Cardigan to significantly increase its endowment especially for scholarships and faculty advancement has emerged as a top priority, along with the need to complete the Science Center Fund and Project. The fundraising consulting firm of Marts and Lundy will be working with Cardigan this fall to test the feasibility of meeting the school's needs.

HOW TO GET THEREFROM HERE: Post-Cardigan

PARENTS' NEWS

Placement Procedure GREAT EXPECTATIONS! "A boy's will is the wind's will and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts."

A boy's years at Cardigan Mountain School, the years from grade six to grade nine, are a beginning. A beginning of his adult education as well as his adult life as he passes from boyhood to manhood. He leaves boyhood behind during his years here. His steps forward must be increasingly sophisticated and complex; however, the emerging young man is increasingly ready to face new experiences with burgeoning confidence, improving judgment, and with the help of wise advice. These should be good years, and happy years. Almost always, they are exactly that. But inevitably a time comes when he will move on to wider horizons, out on deeper oceans.

The Delicate Process of Guiding And the School, in the person of Director of Placement, manages the delicate process of guiding the student and his family through a year-long series of steps which will lead to the student's placement beyond Cardigan. Last year (1990-91 ), Tom Schenck occupied this position. He explained Caridgan's sucessful placement policy to me. Tom can appreciate the need for careful planning at transitional periods in one's life as his own abilities have moved him from Director of Placeme_nt at Cardigan to a larger position as Head of Admissions at

Fountain Valley School in Colorado beginning in September 1991.

Round Pegs with Round Holes "What we're trying to accomplish here at CMS is to match up round pegs with round holes," said Tom. "With sixty boys in a class and dozens of schools in theory to choose from, it would be easy to make a serious mistake which could be damaging to the student as well as his family.

We strive for success.

The Parent Questionnaire "We begin in the spring with a questionnaire to parents of eighth graders. With the results from this questionnaire, I can see what parents are seeking.

In this, I ask about academic levels, school size, geography, and other variables which may be important to the family. I receive the same questionnaire from each student.

Practical Choices for the Next Step "Then in June and July, with school between sessions, I can reflect on some practical choices for the student's next step. I use the questionnaires, SSAT results, and my personal knowledge of the boy as I have observed him through his school years in the classroom, in the dorms and dining room, and on the playing fields . I can call on other faculty members as well. I usually have long conversations with most parents.

Previous Experience Not Required "In the end, the beginning begins, you could say, when in mid-July , I send to each parent a list of schools I would recommend for consideration for their · son. In/this process I've found it best to assume that parents have no previous

experience, so I pass along whatever practical wisdom I've learned. I recommend, for example, that they ask the tough questions, like: Is the intervention process, when a boy needs help, aGtive or passive? and: Does the school actually do what it says; are they 'walking the talk'? I suggest that the family reviews its values and looks for a school that fits them--that they seek 'the emotional fit' of a school. Another avenue of inquiry for the family should be a school's activities.

For example: when they say 'weekend activities' , do they mean things planned such as hikes, contests, games, trips; or do they mean a game room and some frisbees? There are lots·of pitfalls these days.

Decisions Come In March "This is followed by family campus visits and interviews leading to applications by Thanksgiving, and soon after, Cardigan sends transcripts, test results, recommendations, and any other necessary paperwork to the schools. Decisions come in March.

Most Apply to 3-5 Schools "Most boys apply to 3-5 schools, and we have successfully placed every one of our ninth graders. In the past five years our graduates have gone on to more than sixty private secondary schools from one end of the spectrum to the

other, and from one end of the country to the other. As our students are primarily from the Northeast, about two-thirds residing within a day's drive of CMS, the placement pattern is about the same."

A Satisfying But Difficult Puzzle Setting boys on a good course can be a very difficult puzzle. "But it's very satisfying," Tom told me, "when it all comes together at Grandparents' Weekend. That's when I hear all the good reports· from the families , and it is the best of feelings for me to think we did it well. By Commencement everyone has moved mentally along to that new world, and they all seem to be saying, 'I can't wait!"'

NOTE: This article was prepared by the parents of a rising ninth grader at the School.

They commented, "We

especially enjoyed preparing this article as we are in the middle of the process ourselves. Hopefully it has transmitted our feeling of respect and confidence we personally found in the people and the process. We can now look forward with some excitement to helping our son get well settled in his post-Cardigan life.

What a great adventure for our family!"

Parents approaching the placement process in 1992 will be able to consult with confidence the new Director of Placement, Mr. Jamie Funnell.

The Cardigan Chronicle If you have not yet seen the television comedy, Northern Exposure , I highly recommend that you do so, for two reasons. The first being that it is a very entertaining show with a whole host of likable characters and hilarious storylines. The other reason to watch the show is that it stars Cardigan alumnus, Rob Morrow '77. As Dr. Joel Fleischman, Rob plays a native New Yorker who longs to return to the "Enormous Apple", but instead is obligated to practice medicine in a small, rural Alaskan town to pay off a medical school scholarship.

I recently had the good fortune to speak with Rob about hi s days at Cardigan, about his experiences as an actor, and about the recent success of his popular new show.

Cardigan: Rob , I noticed that you were quite an athlete while you were at Cardigan, and I also saw a picture of you playing the drums , but I didn't notice any acting or any plays when you were here. Did they offer anything like that?

Morrow: Actually, they did. I wasn't very cognizant of many of the intere sts that I would have in the future. At that point, I had no idea that I was going to act.

Cardigan: I'm curious as to when you became interested in a~ting.

Morrow: During high school , !'moved down to Florida to live with my father, and I just kind of got bit. It was actually very sudden. I was watching the movie Grease. It was in the summer, and I was in the movie theater with a friend of mine, and somehow in the middle of that movie I decided that/ wanted to do that.

And I walked out of the theater, and I basically had this raison d'etre and became very focused and determined to become an actor.

Cardigan:That's interesting! So, Grease and John Travolta inspired you?!

Morrow: I guess so!

Cardigan: What exactly did you do to become involved in acting?

Morrow: I got involved in the drama programs and started acting right away.

Any place where I could find information about acting. I just became obsessed with it. I got myself some extra work in the movie Caddyshack. I was what they call a "super" , which is basically an extra, in the Greater Miami Opera. I did every play in school that I could get into.

Cardigan: What did you do after high school?

Morrow: Well, I went to Plymouth State College, basically for a minute!

After about half of a semester, I realized that it wasn't the place for me, and I decided to move down to New York.

Cardigan: What was the routine like there? · Morrow: It was pretty rough. I definitely had some rough years. The first year, because I was basically just under eighteen, in retrospect, I was so frightened that I just hibernated in my apartment. I had a couple roommates, and we lived in this tiny studio. I worked in a movie theater, and I just slowly worked my way into the business, primarily through

Alumni Spotlight: Rob Morrow '77

ALUMNI SUPPORT IS ON THE RISE!

Northern Exposure's Dr. Fleischman technical jobs . I did everything imaginable, from assistant stage management to assisting producers to assisting technical directors . You name it, and I did it in the theater. And then slowly I started to get contacts and started

to get auditions, and meanwhile I was studying all the time.

Cardigan: How and when did you get actual acting experience when you were in New York?

Morrow: When you're first starting out, before you have an agent, there are trade papers that list lots of places for people to work if they don't want to be paid.

You go to these big open calls and occasionally you get a job and get some experjence. Eventually, you get in something that is seen by enough people so that you attract the attention of an agent or someone to hire you .

Cardigan: So you're basically building your resume?

Morrow: You're really just building your experience, trying out what you're learning in class. Actually, the more you can delay getting too far ahead is a good thing. I actually put some stops on myself a few times when I thought I was getting a little ahead of myself. There was a period, in the early eighties, when young guys in their early twenties or in their late teens were doing really well. I started to get in on that track and got a little scared because I thought I could make some good money for a while, but by my mid twenties I wouldn't have the weight of an adult sensibility to bring to my work.

Cardigan: What did you do to support yourself in those first few years.

Morrow: Well, for the first few years, I would take whatever kind of job I could get, be it a waiter, a bartender, catering, delivering balloons, carpentry, painting houses--! mean anything that would get me cash. Then after five years or so, I started to get a lot of commercials, which are kind of ephemeral, in terms of pain, meaning that it doesn't feel awful, even though you're selling yourself, because it's only for eight to ten hours , and the money is pretty great. I got lucky with the particular commercials I got, because they were very lucrative.

Cardigan: Which commercials did you do?

Morrow: You name it and I did it! I did everything from Chevrolet to Chiquita banana to Dentyne gum to Sports Illustrated, Diet 7-Up, Frito Lays. I must have done twenty-five of them!

Cardigan: How did you get the role as Joel Fleischman, and is it the biggest role for you yet?

Morrow: If you mean the highest profile, then, yes, definitely. For about a two year period I concentrated on theater because I had a bad experience working on a television series on NBC. I basically told my agent that I wouldn't even consider any television work. I just wanted to act in stuff that I cared about and that I thought was worthwhile. So I did about five or six plays and got myself in debt.

It's pretty tough to live off the money you make in the theater. So at the end of this two years, I was faced with this dilemma of either I'm going to be less idealistic and get some cash coming in, or I'm going to quit the business and do sorpething else to make money. So, I told my agent I'd audition for anything, you name it. Of course, when you open yourself to that, if you've been around at all, and by this time I was fairly well known in the theater world, there is a lot of junk out there to cash in on.

Three weeks later, I had three television offers. Northern Exposure came along, and it read like no other TV script I had read; it read more like a movie. I went in and auditioned, which is basically the process. They brought me out to California, and I read for the network and the studio, and everyone seemed to like me, and I got it!

Cardigan: Is it everything you thought it would be?

Morrow: Well... .yes ...it's a nice job. It's hard on one level because I shoot in Seattle for eight months of the year, and I live here in New York, and so it kind of takes its toll on my homelife.

Cardigan: How often are you out in Seattle during those eight months? Is it every single day for the entire week?

Morrow: Yes. We work basically five days a week for (continued on page 11)

Alumni Fund Established This year, for the first time, a separate category within the Annual Fund has been established to give alumni special recognition for their growing generosity towards Cardigan. The Alumni Fund will provide CMS graduates with a visible and accurate gauge of alumni support of Cardigan. Although the Alumni Fund will create a separate identity for alumni w_ithin the Anm~al Fund, these unrestricted gifts will continue to be utilized in the same way and will be counted towards the overall Annual Fund goal.

Alumni Fund Sets New Records In order to fully appreciate the significant increases in the Alumni Fund this year, it may be helpful, as a point of reference, to consider the final totals from two years ago. In 1989-90 a total of 166 Alumni contributed $12,048 to the Alumni Fund. In the year that just ended, 1990-91, 208 Cardigan Alumni generously contributed $18,521 to the Alumni Fund. These numbers reflect increases of· 53% in Alumni dollars contributed and 25% in Alumni participation over last year, making 199091 far and away the best year for alumni support to Cardigan!

Cardigan's Class Agents deserve most of the credit for these new records, a~ they were asked to take on more responsibility and they responded enthusiastically to the challenge. Thanks for the great year and let's keep this momentum going.

New Class Secretaries Alumni volunteerism is on the rise at Cardigan! As many of you have noticed the popular "Class Notes" section continues to expand with each edition.

The latest in the growing team of alumni volunteers includes eight new Alumni Class Secretaries and one Faculty Alumni Secretary. In chronological order by class, I am happy to announce these new appointments: Thomas Dodge '48, Bruce Murray '54, Tim Fleming '70, Tad Macleod '75, Roger Woodberry '83, Cunliffe McBee'85, Sean Casey '91, Jeff Haskins'9 1 and Carol Shelton Faculty Alumni Secretary.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT(from p.10) about fourteen or fifteen hours a day .

Cardigan: Wow. That is tough. What kind of future do you think Northern Exposure holds for you? Do you think you'll do this for a few years?

Morrow: Yes, I'm kind oflocked in contractually for four more years.

Cardigan: Well, it sounds like the show's going great. I've read nothing but good things about it.

Morrow: Yes, it seems to be a success, so my guess is that, since it's getting so much attention, we can ride that for probably two years, and if it continues to do well, then it could be around for a few more.

Cardigan: Do you have other future plans like getting into the movies?

Morrow: Absolutely. That's definitely the goal.

Cardigan: Would you say that's pretty much every actor's goal?

Morrow: I don't think so. There are people who simply prefer the theater or who like the security of television. The thing about television is that it's a weekly salary. With movies, you're as good as your last movie.

Cardigan: That's interesting ... Any kind of movie offers yet?

Morrow: I've had stuff, but since I don't need money right now , I'm kind of lookiAg for stuff that I think is interesting and that I like, as opposed to just working to work.

Cardigan: It's nice you're able to do

Summer 1991

Page 11 something like that. Is it true that you'll be heading off somewhere this summer for a project?

Morrow: Yes, I wrote a short film that I'm going to direct. It'll be shot in Poughkeepsie, New York. It's about a little boy in this kind of idyllic suburban town, circa 1970, and how the town kind of gets invaded by this door-to-door alarm salesman who takes over and kind of wreaks havoc on this boy's psyche.

Cardigan: Is this autobiographical?

Morrow: Not really. I think you always take some elements of your life, but this movie was not intended to be autobiographical.

Cardigan: You said it's a short film ?

Morrow: Yes , it'll be about 20 to 25 minutes in total.

Cardigan: Are there places that show these kinds of films, or is this just for your own personal satisfaction?

Morrow: There are definitely certain avenues to approach. Cable channels, li·ke A&E, air them, for example, but the opportunity to direct a movie is something that many actors would like to take a stab at, and that's what I'll do this summer.

Rob then spoke of some of his favorite memories of his Cardigan experience. Among these , he cited his significant improvement as a student, his involvement with the glee club and athletics, lots of laughs with the guys, and the sense of "team spirit" that pervaded all aspects of life at Cardigan .

In a note that Rob sent along after our interview, he wrote: "It was nice ...rekindling my fond memories of CMS. I'm glad it's alive and strong ."

Dialing For Dollars Cardigan's first spring phonathon took place at Darmouth College on May 13.

After dinner in Hanover, the phonathon volunteers assembled at Darmouth's Blunt Alumni Center at approximately 6:30 P.M. The volunteers received a brief training session , and the first calls began at about 7 P.M. Roughly three hours later our goals were met!

The focus of the evening was on reaching alumni who had never given previously to Cardigan's Alumni Fund.

To help us in this effort, Alva Adams '64 put forth the offer to match dollar-for dollar all alumni contributions up to $1,000. The two qualifications to this challenge were (1) that we receive pledges from at least fifty alumni who had never previously given to the school, and (2) that we reach a monetary goal of one thousand dollars from this same group. The highlight of the evening

Jim Purcell '80 phones for funds.

Geoff Blair '68 and Jim Barker '62 help Cardigan raise money. came at 9:50 P.M. when we met the reqirements of our challenge.

In the end more than $5,500 from specified pledges was raised, including over $3,000 from seventy alumni and $2,000 from parents of alumni. .

Cardigan would like to thank all the phonathon volunteers and the other staff members who contributed to the evening's success.
