-GIRLS LOOK AT CO-EDUCATION Co-education is terrific! Being · a coed isn ' t too .bad, either. There are both advantages and disadvantages to being one of the first girls at c.M.S. Disadvantages would include being waiter, work details, and other s·mall items • Waiter: and work details were uncommo"n last year. Also, movies were not mandatory for the girls.

Advantages include being excused from the dining room first, having the doors held for you , and other polite happenings.

An inventory on views or problems of co-education has been made in my dorm: 1) "The only problem is that some people jump to conclusions which aren't the best. 11 2) "Some people tease me about the boys. 11 3) "No opinion. 11 4) "I really like the co-education , but it would be better if there were more girls for winter and summer. 11 5) "I think co-education is great !

It ' s fine for boys and girls to go to school together. "

I think that this experiment has worked out pretty well. Hopefully , someday there will be a 50% female population and a 50% male population at CMS. - N. Doonan BOYS VIEW COED CAMPUS Girls on a· campus. of any kind or size undoubtedly make the lives of all individuals more enjoyable. Many, I am sure, would find it hard to have any fun if there were no females on campus.

Page 2 BOYS VIEW COED CAMPUS (CONT'D) I remember that back in the summer of 1967 and 1968 when there were no girlsj there was no liveliness on campus. It seemed as though things were only mediocre. Then, for the first time, girls were admitted to Cardigan in the summer of 1969. This certainly began a new chapter in Cardigan's history. Ever since, the summers have been much more fun.

This year, the girls have been able to participate in sports with other camps along with the boys. Not only . on the field, but in the classroom, work seems much more enjoyable. Truly, no change has met with greater success than the admittance of girls to Cardigan Mountain School.

- W. Doonan HAYWOOD HALL NEWS There seems to be a lot of night time activity in Hayward. One short fellow, whom we all know, gets out of bed and takes a midnight walk. He goes to all sorts of rooms. Another person who lives down the hall has a certain long haired friend and he talks about her in the dark. One of Hayward's inhabitants has a pet chipmunk, which he takes to bed every night. There was a little tassle when some kids had a fight in the parking lot, about a bicycle. Not all of our excitement is after dark.

Be sure to see the next Cardigan Mountain summer school Chronicle for more Hayward news.

- Ben McKinney CLARK MORGAN NEWS Right now, we're in the process of re-doing our 11 Lu". In spite of that, we had to move our clothes line to the girls v;bog" on the second floor.

A few hours later, some boys went in and saw all of our "roupa de baixo 11 hanging on the line! "Ooh la la!"

Que vergonha! ! 11

Three of us went on the canoeing trip. Somehow, the dorm seemed quieter, cleaner, and everyone slept better! We had fun without them! But, it was too quiet. They I re back now, and our dorm is again, messy, noisy and we never get to sleep! Amen!!

THE OLD MAN In the woods of California there lived an old man. Now no one knew him and he knew no one, but as far as he. was concerned he knew the world for he knew the pine, the oak, and the great red wood. To him each one was a son and a friend. He felt that he was the father of them all. He was wiser than the wisest red wood and agile as the youngest pine. He also felt each superior in its own way even though he knew he could bring down the biggest red wood and straighten the smallest pine. He still respected and loved each one for they could shelter him, burn him, or crash him almost at God 1 s comm.and. Each one, including him, was a part of God. - Nick Fairchild THE OLD MAN 1 S DEATH

The house on Page's Hill was as old as the old man's great, great grandfather would have been if he was alive. It was a huge, red brick house with a large wrought iron fence going around it. The huge lavm surrounding the house was infested with weeds and small saplings. It had not been mowed in years and years. The fields beyond the lawn had long since grown into a forest.

Though the old man knew what was going on outside, Nathaniel (for that was his name) never thought about fixing it. All he wanted in life was peace

Page 3 CARDIGAN WINS!

THE OLD MAN'S DEATH (CONT'D) and quiet.

Though he lived alone, he did have a dog. The dog ' s name was Pecardy and he had served his master for fifteen years. _Nathaniel was now ninety, and as funny as it may seem, he actually wanted to die. He seemed to think he had been on earth long enough. He knew that the best time to die would b<c? now.

Well, softball fans, we finally did it! We came back to win our first softball game and it's the first in Summer School's history. Thanks to our tremendous pitcher Charlie Wakely and our Big Boomer Bill Bush. Thanks to Bush's grand slam and Wakely's and Church's homerun jobs we won 14 - 9.

Jona Wakely was able to perform some outstanding catches which stunned every one including me. While I'm closing this fantastic article we would like to thank Mr. Lepore.

- Jon Church

A£3 the days of 1970 rolled on he began to read his Bible. He spent nearly twelve hours a day sitting in his chair, reading. He thought he would leave the world in a pe_aceful . manner.

On June 8th, Nathaniel walked into the bedroom and on the bed lay Pecardy.

He lay limp as a dangling string.

The old man soon realized that he was dead.

All day Nathaniel grieved for Pecardy. Finally he could stand it no longer. He got up and slowly walked over to a small chest of drawers , opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a tiny capsule containing a small amount of white powder. He pulled open the capsule and spilled its contents into a tiny cup about the size of a bottle cap.

Then he mixed in a drop of alcohol and a small drop of water. Carefully he poured the solution into a syringe he had found deeper in the drawer. He had decided to take his own life.

But suddenly he hesitated! Should he commit suicide? Then he thrust the needle into his heart! He wavered back and forth and a few seconds later crashed to the floor, dead!

Page THE HIKE This hike began July 20 through July 24. The five day hike included seven young and eager boys and one adult.

The head of this hike was Mr. Johnson.

The following boys were on the trip: John Sarnoff, Don MacDonnell, Larry Diggs, Billy Doonan, Howard Dono, Mi~e Blase, and Jeff Saunders.

The first day began by Mr. Johnson leading us onto the Wilderness of the White Mountains • The boys , having a load of pressure on their back, survived the illustrious hike. Since the five day hike was planned each week for the boys at Cardigan Mountain, I myself with six other boys climbed Mt. Moosilauke in three hours. The going was rough for some, since it was the first day. We then came down the mountain and our tents had been in our packs for the last seven hours all crippled up. We then unloaded our packs with food and set up for the night.

The second day came and at dusk you could see anything. The trees were the color of the jungles in Africa.

The chirping of the birds brought beautiful music to our ears. We started a seven mile walk to shelter at Eliza Brook Cabin. That night we ate and slept in tents for the second night in a row. We ate dinner in the early times; with the fire burning and the de-hydrated food.

Each boy would take part of his own share. Each boy washed a pot or pan.

The third day we climbed both South Kinsman and North Kinsman mountains.

The mountains were pretty easy. It took the boys three hours to climb these two mountains. We then went to camp out at the Kinsman Shelter Pond for the night and we decided to stay here tomorrow night too.

Come Thursday morning we climbed Cannon Mountain. At the top of the peak we ate lunch and went into the summit of the Aerial-tramway. We

THE HIKE (CONT'D) loaded up our canteens and started back to camp. We stopped off at an A.M.C. hut for a while and then went back to the Shelter. We slept there for the night.

The fifth day we walked four miles and stopped off at a swimming hole. We then met :V.ir. · Rouillard at the Basin at 2:00 p.m. and lunch. Then we drove back to campus.

THE FIRST GIRLS CANOEING TRIP

It was Tuesday morning at 8 a-clock when the first all-girl trip left Cardigan, on a four day trip. We planned to go down the Androscoggin River, starting at Errol and ending at Berlin. Tuesday afternoon we got there at about 3 p.m. Then after unloading tents, food, clothing and what have you, we went down to a bridge 8 miles down stream to try our hand at the rapids. For the first time we did pretty well. On Wednesday, after filling ourselves with dehydrated food, we, meaning Dave Hodgdon, captain, Max Abecassis, - co-captain, Mrs. Coes, Nora Sutton, Meg Beaty, Natasha Lynch, Nancy Walters, Kathy

Page 5 THE FIRST GIRLS CANOEING TRIP (CONT'D) Lepper , Mary-Lou Haywood, Chen Moffat, Laney Stulb, and I pushed off shore and started down river . As we went, Dave taught us new tricks about canoeing. Around the bend was the place in which we could test our skills on rapids and of course everyone but Nora Sutton, and Helen Ill avoided the opportunity of hitting a rock.

Later during the week , people began wondering how much fun it would be to play games such as "Who can tipover first " which was awarded to Laney Stulb and Mary-Lou Haywood, Then there was "Who can turn their canoe around in rapids without turning over" which was awarded to Meg Beaty and Chen Moffat . Finally , it was Friday.

All of us agreed that .we had had a good time, but we needed a shower and the cleaning of clothes badly.

This was a program revised by Mrs. Folsom and one of her drama classes.

We took the play out of a book that has many short plays in it. We chose this play and made it into a play for T.V. instead of for the radio. The cast was Chen Moffatt , Al Decato, Frazer Watkins , Richard Wilson , and myself. This program was shown on Monday, July 20, for the school.

Remember: Use Bu.,."lny Bargain Bloom every day and be beautiful.

HINMAN NEWS (CONT ' D) the past four weeks the boys have been fairly quiet. Some of the boys get a little restless sometimes and things get out of hand.

The daily inspection is some sort of a problem to the boys at Hinman.

- Theresa St . George It has been announced that the masters see that the rooms are kept clean and ANSWERS TO SCRAMBLE NAMES fit to live in. On the other hand on weekdays one boy on each floor is MacDonnell assigned to inspect the rooms. This Harpootlian boy must see that the bed is well made, Goldschlag wastebasket is empty and one of the most Gallagher -· important to- see if the drawers are Im.periale straightened. The boys dislike this Patenaude idea of some boy to go through their Apfelbaum drawers without their permission.

Goodspeed Walters The mysterious adventure of the Saunders toothpaste on one of the boy's door handle brought a bit of angriness to DAY STUDENTS AT C.M.S. one of the boys early this week .

There are three day students here at C.M.S. They are Thomas Perkins, Albert Decato , and Don Cantlin.

I think day students are lucky, because they get to go home on free .afternoons and on Saturdays after classes. We don ' t have to get up as early as you do. We get up about 7: 30, eat, and go to school.

One day Tom brought Al ' s math book home. The next morning Tom went to get his books and Al was going in circles saying "Where ' s my book?"

But we miss dorm parties and green and white activities and if we have the activity or work detail we have to stay and do it.

- Tom Perkins HINMAN NEWS This year at the Hinman Hall there are ten boys on the first floor and 12 beys on the upper floor. There are four dormitory masters. Within

One boy was sentenced to four hours of Campus Improvement for talking during rest period. So long readers.

This is Johnny Sarnoff saying "See you next week in print! " - John Sarnoff

RIFLE MATCH The Cardigan Riflery team of T. Howse, J. Gillette, N. Church, H. Rich, P. Perry, E. Brox, F. Thum, N. Burke, C. Gallagher, and G. Harpootlian shot against a Y.M.C.A. camp last Wednesday . We came out with a pretty good score, losing by only a few hundred points. Cardigan just needs a little more practice .

They just didn ' t have enough boost to get the 8 , 9 and lO ' s . Riflery team, "Shoot ' em down , boy!"

Two people got their rooms changed and they are now alone.

There was a little fight between two people and neither of them got into trouble. One person was waiting for a roommate and now found out h e's not getting one.

One person can talk into a walkie talkie and it talks through a radio.
