Words About Cardigan (Summer, 1978)

Page 1

COMMENCEMENT WEEK EXERCISES Commencement exercises were held this year on the first Saturday of June, ending a week of special ceremonies which formed the official ending of the 1977-78 school year. The first of these was the Baccalaureate Service, held in chapel on Sunday, May 28th. John Newton, School Leader for 1978-79, performed his first duty, at the Baccalaureate Service, reading the scripture lesson and aiding Mr. Mahoney in performing the acts of service. During the past school year, John has been one of the Dining Hall Superintendents and has distinguished himself in this position as well as establishing himself as a very responsible and respected member of the student body. The Investiture Assembly was held the following Tuesday, May 30th. At this time, the school leaders of the dosing year transfered their positions to their successors. (A complete list of the 1978-1979 school leaders appears elsewhere in this issue.) All the boys chosen to fill these jobs deserve congratulations for their work at Cardigan and for the confidence shown them by their peers. Wednesday night, May 31st, was the Spring Awards Banquet, at which time, this spring's excellent athletic season was reviewed in speeches by team members and letters were awarded for fine athletic achievement and sportsmanship . Again this year, spring sports were very well supported; so much so, that the small intramurals group disbanded and every student at Cardigan found his way onto a team in either baseball , lacrosse, tennis, or sailing . Tuesday and Wednesday of that week were exam days, and Thursday, the last day of classes and the end of the school year for underclassmen . The afternoon found the entire student body and many parents and visitors gathered in the Chapel for the Recognition Assembly, for the awarding of academic, athletic, and school prizes for seniors and underclassmen . Graig Johnson , School Leader for this year, acted as Master of Ceremonies. The Blaze dedication this year went to Mrs. Germaine Schmanska, who has been a member of the Cardigan staff for nine years and has, in this time, taught typing and worked as Resource Center Assistant, bringing many good ideas and innovations to that department. But most importantly, as stated by senior Michael Shanley in his dedication speech, she has always been a friend to the students, willing to listen and to give help to them with no hesitation . Mrs. Schmanska received a dozen long-stemmed red roses as a token of the seniors' admiration and affection for her. During the Recognition Assembly, Mr. Finkbeiner's Glee Club performed two selections immediately following the presentation of the Music Award to Paul Brierre. They were entit led "God of Great and God of Small" and " Without Love" . The bus for Logan Airport in Boston departed very early on Friday morning, to transport many of the remaining underclassmen to their flights home. What followed on campus was one of the busiest days of the entire year. Throughout the day, the newly elected school leaders, graduation ushers and marshalls helped to clean up the campus and prepare for the Senior Banquet and the Commencement Exercises. Many par-

Following dessert and a short welcome ·sp~e~.h;~y,:Mr. Wakely, Mr. Harry Mahoney, the school's chaplain and sl<illed amateur magjcian, presented his show entitled "The Different Sides of Magic" to an enthralled au~ience. Aiqe~ by_hi_s a~~tant, eighth grader Tom Patterson, Mr. Mahoney predicted headlines, and performed acts of disappearance and prestidigitation so skillful that no one could catch.him at any time. His show was similar to one which he had presented before a Rotary International gathe ring in West Lebanon several weeks ,\,F, b ef ore . ~-,· 1 Commencement Exercises were scli~ouled for 11 11JO a.m . ·The weather, unfortunately, was cool and overcast, l:uut this did little to dampen the spirits of the graduating class. After posing for the senior picture in front of Clark-Morgan Hall, they were led into a completely filled Chapel by their marshalls, Chris King and Ch tj_s Kennedy, both of next year's senior class. Follow ing the'iavocation , Mr. Wakely began the graduation with the award i.flg of the school prizes, a list of which appears after this arti,t le. The Commencement Address was given by Mr. Frank D. Ashburn, former headmaster and ·"(Continued Next Page)

His speech '\ centered on a reminder to the graduating seniors never to · assume thattheworld owes a person anything until he earns it, and to never pass up an opportunity for growth. Next followed the awarding of diplomas by Mr. Wakely and Mr. John L. Tower, President of the Board of Trustees. As a gift to the school, from money earned from grub days, the "RitzCardigan", and the student snack bar, the seniors have bought 100 new hymnals for the Chapel and have set aside funds to be · used for lighting for the \\(alk and driveways down to the gymnasium . Many of the graduating seniors.and their families remained for the Graduation Luncheon in the Dining Room, immediately following the ceremonies. This was the official end of the school year, and the afternoon saw the departure of the Class of 1978 for the final time . · To the graduating class of 1978, our best wishes for the -.~oming years!

THIRD TERM NOTES The students returned early in April to the last of the winter's snow still lingering on the grounds and the lake. Spring sports were a bit delayed in getting started, but soon were off to a great season over all. In spite of the weather, though, many special events came to pass on and off campus. Several different groups took field trips to other cities to see some of the famous historical and social sites which abound in New England. On April 20th and again on the 27th, two ninth grade sections went to Boston to visit the Museum of Fine Arts, which was opening an exhibit on ancient Pompeii. Although the first group was unable to be admitted to this exhibit, the second saw photographs and artifacts from this ancient culture, thus adding greatly to their studies of western civilization. On the 28th, the entire seventh grade took the Freedom · Trail, through colonial Boston. The lecture was given by Mr. Mahoney, himself a native of the area, and it proved to be an exciting supplement to their study of the American Revolution . The sixth grade took two field trips this spring. The first, on April 22nd, involved a visit to Keene, New Hampshire to watch the world's champion kite flyer, Mr. Dineesh Bahadur. Many of the boys had become interested in kite flying through the spring intramurals program and this was a special treat for them. They spent the day with Mr. Bahadur and received from him several of his beautifully elaborate kites for display in the library and dining hall during Grandparents' Weekend. The sixth grade studied India this spring, and through the generosity of Mr. Bahadur, were also able to exhibit articles of Indian clothing. In the last week of school, the sixth grade, accompanied by Mr. Gallien and senior Jimmy Anderson, traveled south to West Harford, Connecticut to visit the Mark Twain Mansion and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House. Both of,these buildings and the grounds around them are under the direction of a private corporation which has reconstructed them to be as close as possible to the original dwellings, complete with furniture and artifacts belonging to the famous authors. Many of the sixth graders were at least familiar with some of Mark Twain's writings and this proved to be very interesting experience for them. Grandparents' Weekend is traditionally held the first weekend in May, and this year, the weather was cool, but beautiful. Unlike the winter Parents' Weekend, the schedule is very relaxed and closely approximates a typical weekend for the students. Some grandparents arrived Friday night, but the greatest number came Saturday and some attended their grandsons' classes. After lunch, there was a short program in the Kenerson Social Center, featuring a talk by Mr. Wakely and performances by the school Glee Club and the "C-Notes". Athletic competition in all sports followed, many of which ended in victory for Cardigan. The schedule for the rest of the weekend included a fine dinner on Saturday night, the movie, "Lost Horizon" in the auditorium, an early chapel service on Sunday followed by a reception in the Hopkins Room of the Chapel, and the rest of the day for visiting. It was a well attended and enjoyable weekend for all. Over the weekend of May 9th, four members of the Magic Club traveled to Boston with Mr. Mahoney to attend the Annual Magicale sponsored by the local assembly of the Society of American Magicians. While in Boston, Tim Byk, Ron Hilton, Tom Patterson, and Larry Davis attended a variety of lectures, close-up demonstrations, and exhibits as well as a number of live stage shows . Not only did they assist many magicians but also enjoyed the rather unique opportunity of going "behind the scenes" to question master magicians on their methods and different approaches to this highly entertaining art. The boys agreed that they learned more about magic and what is involved in entertainment than_they had ever known before.

Although not an "event", the reopening after two years of the school snack bar in the Hinman Basement deserves a special mention. Under the active leadership of Mr. Coffin, the Senior Class Advisor, "Captain Kelly's" (named for Rob Kelly, the senior mastermind behind the idea) opened to a long line of hungry snackers the Wednesday after school resumed in April. Many long hours were involved before and during Spring Vacation to get the room painted, the equipment functioning, and the shelves stocked, but the effort paid off very well indeed. A new wrinkle was added this year; catered dormitory parties, which were a big hit to students and faculty alike . The profits went to establishing the Senior Class Gift for 1978. The second annual "Ritz-Cardigan" dinner was hetd i·n the Kenerson Social Center on Saturday evening, May 20th. Sponsored by the senior class and Mr. Coffin, the affair was a success in every respect . Patrons were treated to an excellent meal of lobster, steamed clams, and spaghetti, followed by homemade pie la mode and coffee for dessert. Members of the Senior class provided excellent service for the fifty students and faculty members who attended. Entertainment was provided by Dennis Revere on the piano and Alex Koromiras on the violin. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Coffin and the seniors, the "Ritz-Cardigan" has become a unique tradition on campus . Headmaster's Day came as a surprise to most of the campus, when it was announced at breakfast on Friday, May 20th. For the students, this was a day off from classes and their regular responsibilities, and offered the chance to relax and play informal games on the fields or at the waterfront. Many of the students spent their afternoon sunbathing on the lawn, and a few.even spent some time studying for the exams which would soon be held. A picnic lunch on the Clark-Morgan Hill and a series of old movies that night helped to make the special day even more enjoyable. The next Monday was declared Green and White Day, and began after the first period class. This tradition at Cardigan pits one half of the campus against the other in a series of track and field events, involving groups· of eight students at a time. By the end of the day, it was clear that the white team had won, with a total of 348 points to Green's 278. Thewinningteam won the right to display their banner in the dining hall for the rest of the year. During the final week of school, a very special ceremony was held near Cotting Rock. Developmental Reading classes spent several days writing short compositions on life in the 1970's for the purpose of creating a "time capsule". The D.R. department and several students dedicated the capsule ·and - buried it near Cotting Rock, to be left as a record of the times. It is scheduled to be dug up in the year 2003.

ANNUAL FUND AT $75,550 At this writing, the Annual Fund Drive for 1977-1978 is drawing to a close, with the fiscal year ending June _30th. 'fhis has been a very successful year, with donations in the form of cash and pledges totaling $75,550, $550 over our declared goal of $75,000. A total of 336 donors responded to this year's drive, for an average contribution of $225. Thanks to the excellent response of last year's drive, the school has been able to purchase a second 15 passenger van for off-campus transportation, a computer-typewriter for the Alumni Office, and a new photocopier for school business. Funds from last year's drive have also been very useful in helping to maintain the new ski trails cut in the fall. From the response to this year's drive, next year will bring even more improvements in our academic and athletic programs, and our physical ,plant. Our thanks to the many who responded so •generously to our appeals.


MARTIN LITVIN CONDUCTS WRITING WORKSHOP AT C.M.S.

CLUB PROGRAM REACTIVATED This spring saw the development of renewed interest in the club program on campus. A slight reworking of the schedule provided a 90 minute period between 1 :45 and 3:15 on Thursday afternoons for activities which ranged from cooking in the kitchen of the Headmaster's house to fishing on the lake. Traditional clubs, such as the Blaze, and the Magic Club, continued to flourish, while a wealth of new club ideas came into being . One of these was the Skateboarding Club. This enthusiastic group constructed a six-foot ramp down by the gymnasium on which the more able members of the club performed many difficult maneuvers, and the lessexperienced boys practiced their skills between "wipe-outs"! There were several other athletic clubs, including gymnastics, volleyball, and weightlifting. In addition, Mr. Peck took a small group of boys who were interested in improving their tennis skills and worked with them in the C.S.A. Craft clubs also proved popular, and the model club, held in the Hinman attic, featured a variety of kits and types of projects being built. The art club offered belt making, pottery making, and woodcraft to a number of students interested in developing their artistic talents. Two rather unusual dubs provided mental exercise and mastery of a useful skill. The computer club, taught the boys how to write programs and figure problems, and the Navigation Club taught the skills of using the stars and traditional navigation instruments to chart a sailing course. Chess and backgammon offered mental challenges of a different sort and their program ended in tournament .competition, with the winners receiving a "rain-check" for an off-campus meal in the fall. Those boys who chose not to participate in the clubs offered this spring were able to use their time on their studies, in a supervised study hall held in the auditorium. Next fall, the program will continue, with a schedule which will vary from term to term , giving each student the opportunity to take advantage of several of the many different activities which will be offered.

Cardigan Mountain School was very fortunate to have as its guest during the week of April 24th, the noted lecturer and writer, Martin Litvin . This was Mr. Litvin' s second stay on campus, to conduct a series of writing workshops in English, History, and Developmental Reading Classes . Originally a native of Galesburg, Illinois, the home of Carl Sandburg, the SO-year old author has spent many years in New York.and around the country, writing and teaching school children how to write stories and reports and , perhaps most important ly, how to learn to enjoy writing. Mr. Litvin, a personal friend of Mr. McNeish, has won recent acclaim for the first book..in his projected trilogy on the life of the famous Civil War nurse, Mary " Mother" Bickerdyke, the " American Florence Nightingale" . Mr. Litvin has also authored many historical novel.sand biographies about important figures in American history, and is currently at work on a new book, due to be publ ished sometime next summer. The students found his lessons t o be very helpful and were fascinated by the prospect of meeting and talking to an actual author who teaches from his own experiences .

NEW HOUSE BUILT ON CAMPUS On Monday, June 12th, a process will begin which will bring Cardigan Mountain School closer to its goal of providing residential houses as living quarters for many of its students. The scheduled groundbreaking on that day will take p lace next to Banks House, to lay the foundation for a new two family dwelling with living space for eight boys. Mr. and Mrs. Crowe·11, their family, and an as yet unchosen faculty couple will move into their new quarters in the fall of 1978, making this the seventh faculty house on campus. The funds for the new house have been provided by Mr. & Mrs. Charles 0 . Banks, Member of the Corporation, whose generous gifts to Cardigan have made possible the construction of Banks and Greenwood Houses.

SPORTS BASEBALL The late spring forced both baseball teams indoors for the first two weeks of their season, but by the time the fields had dried out, both the Varsity and Reserve squads were ready for a fine season of competition. The Varsity team's fine 9 and 4 season was the result of good coaching on the part of Mr. Marrion and Mr. Collins , and the great skill and enthusiasm of this year's players. Mark Stewart, recipient of the Most Valuable Player Award, and Chris Nicholl, winner of the Most Improved Player Award, both did a fine job that their team could count on every game. Mitch Handler at catcher was one of the most outstanding players on the team, and received a special award at Recognition Assembly. In all, there were seven seniors on the team who had come up through the ranks over the past two years, and who formed the backbone of this year's squad. There was, in addition, a strong nucleus of underclassmen who will return next year to get the team off to a good start. Season highlights include an exciting loss to Eaglebrook at the end of May, which displayed excellent fielding and hitting on both sides, and a very close game which C.M.S. eventually lost to Franklin Junior High in extra innings. Two games with Mascoma ended in a split record of one win and one loss against that team, but the two games against arch-rival Hanover ended in victory. Next year's team will start off with a very good pitching and catching staff, with Bill Page returning behind the plate and Chris Kennedy and Clayton Johnson on the mound.

Reserve Baseball fielded one of its best teams this spring, its 6 and 7 record not withstanding. The team worked hard in preseason practices and by the middle of the season, had developed into a very strong unit. The defensive team was led by Bill Dohrmann on the mound, and Josh Schwartz behind the plate. Fine performances were also turned in by Larry (Continued Next Page)


(From Preceding Page) . Davis at pitcher and center field, Jack Crisp at shortstop, and John Murphy on third base. · Coaches McNeish and Blunt worked hard with this group, many of whom were new to Cardigan baseball this year, and their effort paid off when they were able to beat both the Claremont and Lebanon Junior H igh School teams in their second matches - after the Reserve squad had suffered bad defeats the first time around. Jeff Aquilla proved himself to be a very able scorekeeper and an ev~n better announcer, following in the footsteps of Rick Brickell '77, the "Voice of Reserve Baseball " of past years . The Most Valuable Player Award went this year to Joshua Schwartz for his fi~e catching, and the Most Improved Player Award went to eighth grader Bill Dohrmann . The outlook is good for next year's team,· with so many of this squad's best players returning to C.M .S. in the fall. Third Team Baseball provided iristruction and practice for a group of ~ounger boys on campus. Mr. Fedor and Mr. Carey w~rked wit~ abou~ a dozen boys on basic fielding and batting skills . The high point of the season was an away game against Hanover where, after a shaky start, the boys played an excellent game and gained valuable experience against an older and more experienced team . Many of the boys on this year's third tea~ can look forward to being Reserve squad material next spring.

games against Woodstock. The team's ~ffort was sparked by ~a-captains Bo~ Allen, winner of the Most Valuable Player Award, and senior Bob Tonneson. Josiah Miles led the team with the most goals and defenseman Mike Stevens rece ived the Most Improved Award at the year's end Recognition Assembly.

TENNIS Varsity Tennis played its way to an excellent 8 win, 4 loss season, after a late start. Once the season was under way·, the team began to ~fating~ish itself with fine playing and good teamwork. Senior David Mesker, team captain, had a fine se~son and n_ew~omers Juan Beauchamp, Chris King,, Beau Britt, and Chris B1erne proved .to be tough competitors on the courts all spring. Peter Bickley and Juan Beauchamp receive'a the Most Valuable Player Award for their playing and spirit thro~ghout the season, and will be returning next year to form a: solid backb~:me for the team. Season highlights include a v1~tory over Kimball Union Academy, 6 matches to 3, and two wins over Holderness, both 5 matches to 4. The team is fortunate in that most of their ~ighes_t scorers, such as Chris King, Juan Beauchamps, Beau Britt, Keith Handler and Chris Bierne will be back to start next year's season off weli, under Mr'. Peck's coaching. ·

LACROSSE The 1978 C.M.S . Varsity Lacrosse team posted a 13 win, 1 loss record; the best performance by a varsity lacrosse team in several years. Unseasonal weather and a lack of practice did not prev~nt the team _from getting off to a fine start. Early season wins were ache1ved by a solid defense and a devastating fast-break attack. Throughout the season, the team posted several one-sided wins, but showed particularly strong character and desire in two overtime victories ; in a match against Holderness, victory was snatched from defeat in the last 20 seconds of the game when senior Ron Sloan, one of the three captains, scored the winning goal, making the score 8-7 for Cardigan . Ron also scored the winning goal in a match against Woodstock in a sudden death play-off which went into two overtime periods, ending the game 5-4. The team ended their season with a gratifying 11-1 victory over Eaglebrook. The team had a very strong senior squad comprised of high scorers Ernie Scalamandre, Mark Kelly, Ned Gibbons, Kirk Franklin, Ron Sloan, Chris Heidrich, and Kelly Bolin. Defensemen John Griffis (captain), John Emery, Bryan McHugh, and Peter Baker rounded out the senior line-up. The team will be in good hands next year with returning lettermen John McCarthy (captain), Tadd Stine, and Sandy Hovey. In a team vote, John McCarthy and Ernie Scalamandre were voted MVP's while Chris Heidrich and Sandy Hovey were awarded the Most Improved. The team was coached by Mr. Heath and Mr. Clancy. Reserve Lacrosse finished a 3 and 2 season with an uplifting 18-1 victory over Eaglebrook the last weekend before exams . The season began late and hesitantly with poor weather and little practice contributing to the team's two losses in the first two games, both against Holderness. Strategic recruitment and positioning by Mr. Sachs and Mr. Perry, and an enthusias!ic t~am spirit allowed the group to rebound with wins in two

SAILING Due to an ice layer several feet thfck on Canaan Street Lake the Cardi~an Sailing team and Recreational Sailing group spent the first three weeks of the season in skull sessions and on maintenance. The season began even before our ice went out, with a match at Brewster, which the C.M.S. sailors won, 3 races to 0. The team met Brewster twice more, once at Card igan over Grandparents' Weekend, and once in Wolfeboro winning both of those matches. The team was fortunate th·;; year to have had three full time coaches: Mr. Crowell, Mr. Coffin, and Mr. Ladd; and the services of Mr. Gallien after the dissolution of lntramurals, enabling the team to practice different t_ ypes of ~rills an? racing strategies, while freeing the Rec. sailors for instruction and relaxation . One of the high lights of the season, was the splitting of the team over the weekend of the 20th of May for the Nessa Regatta at New London and a match at Williston-Northampton School. The •· top sailors drew a 13th at the Nessa Regatta, but learned a great deal about salt-water sailing. The "B" team, although suffering .' . a defeat to Williston, enjoyed the chance to sail different types of boats from the Flying Juniors to which they were accus- · tomed. The team ended the season with a 4 and 2 record in regular competition, thanks to the skill of such fine sailors as Captain Sk ipper Willauer and his crew, Peter Brox; and skipp~r Jeff Schock and his crew, Andy Griffis. Several young sailors came out for the team, and Andrew Day and Jack G!erhart should prove fine competitors for next year's team, w ith Doug Burke, Bill Weber, and John Kirk not far behind. The Most Valuable Sailor award was given to Skipper Willauer. There was no Most Improved Award given this spring.
