SUMMER SCHOOL VETERANS QUESTION: How are Mr. Clancy of Table 14 and Mr~. Jenness of Table 10 alike? ANSWER: They have both spent more than 16 summers on Cardigan's summer campus. The answer may sound misleading, since Mr. Clancy is a senior at Plymouth State College and Mr. Jenness is the oldest member of our staff and a veteran of many years of teaching. Mr. Jenness, teaching math this summer, recalls the early days of the 1956 summer session, when all 30 boys were housed in Brewster H~ll. Six people were on the staff. r,~r. Jenness taught four classes a day, ran the work crew, and had one period free because he took campers out each weekend. According to Mr. Jenness, the original CMS summer school began one summer in 1951 on Canaan Street, when Miss Dorothy Emerson taught six boys remedial reading in a tent. Girls were first admitted to the school in 1968. The first summer session hosted nearly a dozen females. Even though he's only 21, Mr. Clancy really has spent more than 16 summers here. His family has run the Cardigan kitchen since the school began in 1945 and
he has grown up on campus. He graduated from CMS in 1967, Vermont Academy in 1970, and is back this summer to teach'.·.silversmithing and to direct activities in the art room. He will offer printmaking, painting and ceramics as part of the summer arts activities. He is a painter also; one of his most recent works currently hangs in the library at Cardigan. One of Mr. Clancy ' s earlier memories of his student days at CMS is when he worked under Mr. Jenness' direction on work detail. The boys worked that summer day hauling wheelbarrows of dirt to the rear of Proctor P.ouse. They were preparing a base for the present patio, t-1hic h was · then constructed using slate pieces from an old pool table." , The pool table was formerly 6oused in the very earliest CV.:S buildings on Canaan Street and Mr. Clancy's pillow fight, which got him on work detail, provided the means to put the pool table into present day use. ???
