August. 1971

Welcome to the second edition of this summer's Cardigan Chronicle, a famed newspaper, read all over the world. The editor is fearless Jim Nagle, and his assistant is . Greg Schwartz. The man ' of the h6ur, Mr • . Buckler, i~ advisor. Our motto is "alt the: trivia that's fit to print," so get ready for an exper ience. THE MORNING POLAR BEARS In the morningof the blueish sky, when the sun is breaking through the clouds, down over the hill come the Polar Bears at six-thirty. The Big Bear, Mr. Wakely, comes down to be in charge the first one in the morning and Mr. Coes comes down then, too. Then sleepy-head, Mrs. Dixon comes down and swims a couple of laps and is wide awake to start the morning. Next come the rest of the Polar Bears: J. Bagley, R. Bagley, E. Beaty, M. Beaty, Black, Brit.land, C. Bunton, Burton, Dennison, Feroleto, ~illette, Goode, Hazen, Hickox, Imperiale, Iverson, Jackson, c. Jason, Jones, Kane, McRoberts, Mitchell, Morse~ Mull, Nagle, Otto, Po~te, Pou, Ri~~o, Rowland, Ruotolo, Sager, Schwartz, Stamm, s. Stevens, L. Suplicy, M~ Suplicy, Sutton, Thomas, Thompson, Vogel, Wakely, P. White and Zuitl. - V. Sager BREWSTER I Are there ghosts in Brewster? The first week here -I was in my room on a windy night and I heard footsteps in the halt. In the next _minute · I heard 11 8000 11 • It was supposed to be Mr. Dixon but was

it? Also if you saw a knife or a Teddy beaf floating in air in my room there is a reason. One night at 12:00 I heard this sound/ I hid under the · covers. It was going, "Out! Out! Out! 11 I looked and I saw a cat purring. But was it the _cat? Think about it!! Everything is nearly normal otherwise. - Keith Federman FRENCH II Let me take you on a second floor tour: French Halt II begins with Schwartz, the antiestabtishmentarianist. Next, after the bathroom, is Vogel, our famous character and his roommate Virgil, who is our famous knee man. McRoberts is our ear man and Stevens our fuzz man of the whole dorm. Peter Douglass grows his own oranges and th~t•s what we have for orange · juice. His roommate M. t~hite hates Douglass• orange tree and threatens to chop it down with his ax of gotdt Ed Goldschtag is our camera man and played in the part of the lawyer in "Count Dracu 1a·".

My roommate -is Pa~ker Thomson, an expert sailor. I, mysetf, · am also a camera man. That covers the floor but so does a rug -and that's quieter. FRENCH I Th;ngs aren't going our way this


Page 2 FRENCH I (coht 1 d) summer since Mr. Jason outlawed wedgees and rat-tails even though we still do them. Allen and Merrill really threw a fit when we tried to give them a wedgee, so that's why they were outlawed. During study hall everybo~y runs ~p and down the halls and shouts a lot at everybody and we also shoot spitballs and start pillow fights but we are very quiet so the master on duty won 1 t hear us. The other night we had the whole fire department and police force of one old cop and a 1928 v.w. with two 1941 fire trucks which they rented when they found out about the fire. The big fire was in Allen's room, the light socket shorted. Everything else is freaked out and out-of-sight. - J. Pierce HINMAN II As you know, Hinman II is a very active floor. Doug Lilly won 1 t forget the day that he walked into the dorm and found that his roommate was moving bl!!! from the room. Hinman seems to have a ghost thet goes around knocking on people 1 s doors and then runs. When Erik Vaughn found out about it, he went to beat the ghost up and instead got beaten up himself by the ghost and roommate. Mrs. Grayson and Mrs. Wrangham surely won 1 t forget the day Lee Iverson got sick in his room and three times in a row he missed • • • Well, I won 1 t go into that nowt No one in Hinman will forget the day we found the hornet's nest. Jerry Jones has been fixing _a fish tank that he found in the garbage can and every time he pours water into it, it leaks. Jerry also has the collection of animals on the floor. It consists of two turtles, three newts, two frogs and

a crayfish. Chip Caldwell won't forget the Sunday he got his second mattress stolen and got it back about five minutes before inspection. - Richard Wilson CLARK-MORGAN I II Since the last issue of the Chronicle came out there have been new members added to the dorm. These are four turtles, and one salamander. Work details have been numerous in our dorm. Feroleto leads the list, after White. Everyone had one hour for being "late" to study hall. Every night White and Stamm sleep while Lewis and Feroleto plot to give Britland a sugar bed or white elephant. On our way to do these things, a giant dog leaps from a door as Mr. Buck yells •~veryone in their room! Feroleto, next time you're out of your room, I'll sic my dog on you!" As the monstrous beast charges, doors slam, lights go out and all is quiet for the rest of the night. - Steve Lewis THE DESERTED DORM - HAYWARD While the rest of the girls were gone on the hike it was really very quiet. Every night Mishca and I would play Clue or some other game after we did homework. We were always to bed later than we were supposed to be. We could do almost anything we wanted, it seemed, but it was really boring and quiet. Mr. Hazen got an extra half hour of sleep this week because he didn 1 t hear Robin singing in the showers at 6:00 in the morning. Both Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Dixon were relieved to know they

He has 5 students in his class. There are two studenfs" 'who are always late to class and don't seem to care at all. The students are Joe and Sue, the late ones, Jon the lazy one, Don, the kid who is eating all the time and is very fat, (they call him Pork), and Tim, who thinks about love and strength but is weak. This is an imaginary average class at CMS summer session. - Guess Who?? The first person to correctly tell Mr. Buckler the author of this story wins a prize. SKITS On July 17, instead of a movie, we had plays that each floor put on. The floor that won was Clark-Morgan III. Peter White sang a song about a showdown {Rocky Raccoon) and Spot Feroleto got shot. Brewster II did a play about two men who hated each other and three wolves came out to get them. Another play, by Hinman II was about J;_l:i.?rlie Brown and a baseball game. There was also a play about soap thieves done by Hinman I and some funny things done by the girls of Hayward. It was fun to see each and everyone's talent. - Archie Ackerman

If you have ~ork detail on Wed~es~ay you wilt work two hours. Work deta1l 1s a bad thing. It 1 s 500 times hard to have two hours than one. I know, believe me. - Charlie Hickox THE PUDDLE BEARS

-

There is a new club called the Puddle Bears. It all started on a rainy Thursday night before and after activities. There was a big puddle which the boys found near the gym. Everyone started doing belly-flops and eagelspreads into the puddle. We were alt so wet and muddy that no one cared. No one got hurt, but there was lots of mud. So join up now and have fun with mud. - B. A1 1en

GREEN AND WHITE SOCCER Green and \rJhite mass soccer was played on Tuesday, Jtlly 27, at the football field. It was a rough game, sometimes, since four balls and four goals were used. There were thirty-nine people on each team so there were many collisions and pile~ups. Many people were tossed and flipped around. After nearly forty minutes the. balls were alt held, for one boy .had dislocated his knee. The Green team won, 16 - 5.


Page 4 GREEN AND \'-'HITE SOFTBALL The Green and White gap is closing with the Green team ahead by ten points over the White. July 20, 1971, Green 3 played White 1 in softball and won eight to six, White 3 played Green 2 and won four to three, and . White 2 played Green 1 and won eight to five. Now the total score as of July 27, 1971 is 151 to 141 in favor of the Green. The White team chalked up 68 points and Green zipped 41 points for their side ,

APOLLO 15 STOPS CMS CLASSES On July 26, at 9:25 A.M. everybody got out of their classes and went back to their dorm or to the Wakely's house to watch the blast-off. It was very interesting for they showed some camera angles that they have not shown before. We did not stay long enough for the animation because we had to go back to our classes when the rocket was almost out of sight. - Charles Metz

- Professor SURVEY ON .SPACE PROGRAM TERRIFIED I was walking through our woods at home just after sunset. Suddenly I felt the hair on the back of my head inching its way up my head as though something was behind me pushing it up. At first I was scared to look back but then I thought just one quick look. I glanced back and there in the dense woods just behind were two green eyes staring right towards me.

The eyes seemed to be moving so I started to walk faster. The eyes were ga1n1ng. I started to run, they were still gaining, and just behind me. Just before I caught sight of my house, the eyes leaped and some sharp, hairy claws dug into my back. I fgll but stumbled and scrambled to my feet I ran hoping to reach my house. I didn't look back but I heard it stop. As I crawled to my house my back was dripping with warm blood. But I had escaped some green-eyed sharp, hairy, clawed Creature and I was thankful. - Peter

Then I went on. On and on and on. Then, when there was about an hour's more time a queer pressure was banging at my brain. It grew; I couldn't stand it! It was killing me! A second to find it; I dropped to my knees; something touched my finger. It was coot. The pressure ran from me; it was the 1ink.

THE MOUNTAIN SCHOOL The hike consisted of Meg Beaty, Loto Beaty, Robin Bagley, Wendy Conger, Cindy Jason, Lisa Suplicy and myself, Nora Sutton. Also it included our fearless leaders Papa Johnson, and Maxy. July 26. We got up about six o'clock alt ready to go. We ate breakfast and we were off to the White Mt. National Forest Toll Road where we were left. Max led the way up the Great Gulf Trail to shelter No. 3 where we stayed for the night. Mr. Johnson and Max played a game called 11 Rabbit". This was when they would sit on the edge of the forest and bait the rabbit. Max won at that. Lisa Suplicy made a record of 13 marshmetlows being cooked on one thin stick. Also Max went crazy and started square dancing Tuesday, July 27. Max, Meg and I had to hike up to shelter No. 2 to make sure that it wasn't filled. On the way up Max and Meg had a dialogue it went like this:

POEM Live your life the way you want to. Throw out the old and bring in the new. Find the cost of freedom, Dig it out of the garbage pile. Keep the land filled with love, Let your dove fly. High above the dove flies, The sky is his alone. Bleed a little for Peace, Lay down your guns. Join with us, we have no rule, Love is coming to a song. Find the cost of freedom, Buried in the earth Find the cost of freedom, It's everywhere you are. You 1 re the savior of the world. Don 1 t let it fall apart - G. Schwartz

THE HISTORY ~~--------~-OF THE - ----,YO-YO _,_ .......~

The Yo-Yo originates from as Filipino jungle fighting weapon recorded in the 16th century, weighing four lbs. with a 20 foot cord. The word means "come-come.'' The craze was started by the toy manufacturer, Louis Marx (U.S.A.) in 1929. The most difficult modern yo-yo trick is the "double handed, crossov~r loop-the-loop. 11 Arthur Pickles, the 1933-53 yo-yo champ, once achieved 1,269 consecutive loop-the-loops. The individual endourace record was eight hours and 32 minutes by David Rose at Chadd's Department Store, Hereford, England on June 23, 1970. The group Marthon record is 76 hours set by six students with three yo-yos at Brierley 1 s store in Leicester, England on March 1-8, 1969. Can anyone at Cardigan match this? - J. Dennison
