Progress Report ven though our school year is over and the campus has been quiet awaiting the arrival of our Summer Session students, progress has been continuing on our two major fund raising programs - Annual Giving and Cardigan Today!fomorrow.

With the end of the giving year upon us, Annual Giving stood by mid-June at $69,546. While it is clear we will not be able to reach our goal of$90,000 this year (the first time we have missed in many years) we expect to be comfortably over $70,000 when the books are closed on June 30th. This is disappointing but understandable in a year when our greatest emphasis has been on our major capital campaign for the Stoddard Center and Endowment.

There's another year coming and we '11 simply have to try harder and be more effective in the 1982-1983 Annual Giving effort.

Meanwhile our capital campaign continues to move ahead. By the middle of June capital gifts and pledges stood well over $3,000,000. Considering that we are less than two years along on our fiveyear campaign to raise a total of $5,000,000 this is really a remarkable success made possible by the generosity and support of the Cardigan family.

By all odds the most exciting happening these late spring days is the progress being made on the Stoddard Center. The roof is on, many of the windows are in place, most of the interior cement floors have been poured and the interior partitions are going in along with the plumbing and wiring. It is almost overpowering to walk through the building, dodging scaffolds, and climbing ladders where there will soon be stairs. One can now visualize the eventual arrangement of the library, auditorium, class rooms, tutorial rooms, and offices. And what a view!

We may not be completely finished by our dedication date, October 9th, but we're on schedule and we'll be close

enough to show you the most impressive building of its kind at any secondary school in this country. You will have to imagine for yourself the impact on the school of the dimensions of our cultural, artistic and social life that will be centered here.

One thing is certain - with all that Cardigan Today has to offer, Cardigan Tomorrow will be a richer more exciting place to learn and to grow .

SPRING VACATION TRIP TO GREECE AND TURKEY John Cassidy '82, Henry Lee '83, Jon Mayer '82, and Tom Taliadoros '82, acc.ompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Carey of the CMS

Faculty, spent their spring vacation in Turkey and Greece.

The group flew out of Boston on tire evening of March 11, which happened to be Tom Taliadoros' birthday. His birthday cake, delivered by his parents at Logan Airport, accompanied us all the way to Istanbul - a well travelled cake indeed!

An afternoon arrival on March 12th afforded the first views of Istanbul - the former capital of the Ottoman Empire , and before that, the city of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire.

The strategic location of Istanbul, astride the narrow straits of the Bosphorus, which links the Mediterranean with the Black Ser became immediately apparent as we stood on the easternmost shores of Europe and saw the westernmost shores of Asia less than a mile distant. The magnificent span of the Bosphorus Bridge, linking Asia and Europe, East and West, symbolizes the significant historical role that the city has played since the time of Alexander the Great. For centuries the city has flourished as a crossroads where empires meet.

Three days of sightseeing provided glimpses of history as well as current life in this city of over four million inhabitants. A visit to Topkapi, the palace of the Sultans, gave us a sense of intrigue , as well as the tremendous wealth and power of the Ottoman Empire. A visit to the Blue Mosque - the mosque of Sultan Ashmet - gave us a sense of the Islamic culture. A visit to the .Covered Bazaar - a labyrinth ofover 4000 shops and market areas - assured us of the vibrancy ·of daily life in modem Turkey. A visit to a popu(continued on page 2)

Blaze Dedicated To Mr. Peck '63

During the Recognition Ceremonies on June 3, 1982, Mrs. Rita Carey, Blaze Advisor, on behalf of the Senior Class, dedicated the 1982 Blaze to Mr. Schuyler V. Peck.

After having spent fourteen years on the Cardigan Campus as a student, teacher, coach, advisor and this past year as Director of Alumni Affairs and Development, Mr. Peck has decided to leave Cardigan to broaden his experiences.

We wish him and his family the best.

Faculty News: Mrs. Rita Carey this summer will be a Fellow of the New England Studies Institute to focus on Curriculum Development to incorporate more New England culture into the CMS history curriculum. Concentration will apply to research writing at 7th and 8th grade levels, with the former learning to find information on biographies and the 8th Graders on immigrants and industrialization of New England.

Mr. Robert Small and his wife Thurza, of the CMS English Department will teach at CMS Summer Session, then travel to Finland.

Mr. Craig Howland will commence his studies for an MALS at Dartmouth College, with concentration on philosophy and Spanish.

Mr. Howard McQuarrie and Mr. Richard Stevens will go into in-service training for a 2-week period on the School Year Abroad Program to be given at Rennes, France.

Humanities programming, as reported in a May Newsletter, included a showing of the ground-zero.film on the development of the atomic bomb, The Day After Trinity, bringing the whole school to significant awareness of the present dangers and stimulating much discussion taking place in groups all over the campus. Further offerings warmly received during the springtime were: Colburn and Stuart, giving a folk singing concert with novelty tunes and a variety of instruments ; Fred Webster, formerly of the National Geographic Society, giving a fascinating presentation about the mysteries of bats; and William Bartlett on dogsled racing with thrilling slides of this northland travel. Various other educational and enrichment programs, as reported in the Newsletter, included the week-long sojourn 6th Graders spent in Truro on Cape Cod with their teacher, Mrs . Small, staying in a Coast Guard station, learning wildlife first hand, climbing the Pilgrim Monument. Another group of Social Studies students under Mrs . Carey, went to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts where 8th Grade honor students saw an exhibit of life in the Kingdom of Egypt. Mr. Mahoney took 7th Graders to Boston to see the Revolutionary War Sites. On May 16th he took members of the Cardigan Magic Club to Boston to attend the annual Magicale of the Society of American Magicians. In addition to giving the students a chance to see a variety of performers, lectures and demonstrations, Mr. Mahoney, himself an enthusiastic magician, introduced the boys to the newest member of the Magicians' Hall of Fame (Marco of LeGrande David Magic Company), who presented them with commemorative gold medallions.

Boys attending were Randy Goodman 8th Gr.; Skip Naft, 8th Gr. , Muller Davis, 8th Gr., Ken Myers, 8th Gr. and Robert Little, 8th Gr.

(Greece continued from page I)

Jar nightclub - situated in a Venetian watch tower nearly five hundred years old - assured us that Turkish belly dancers are still worth watching.

From Istanbul we travelled south to Gale lipoli and the Turkish Victory Monument, marking the defeat of the British forces in World War I. Crossing the Dardanelles by ferry , we spent our first night in Asia Minor.

The following morning we visited another famous battleground - the ancient city of Troy - where among the walls, standing on the hillocks with the sea visible in the distance, one sensed the presence of history, myth, romance and legend.

The final stop in Turkey was at Ephesus, one of the most striking sites in the ancient world. Ephesus was at one time the center of the Cult of Diana, and her temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Little remains of the temple, but the restored library of Celsius and the magnificent theatre in which St. Paul once preached, provided ample evidence of the prominence of this early Christian city.

The eight days spent in Turkey were days of discovery for the boys - new sights and sounds, foods and fashions. The boys <level-

Mediterranean Group I. to r., Turkish guide - Tom Taliadoros Jon Mayer - Mr. Carey (hidden) - Joh n Cassidy - Henry Lee -(Missing, Mrs .Carey)

oped a taste for Turkish tea, and ate baklava, a rich Turkish sweet, by the pound. Tom and Jon practiced the art of bargaining with the local merchants , while John and Henry had their cameras in almost constant action. For Mr. and Mrs. Carey, who had lived and taught in Turkey for a number of years , it was a chance to renew old friendships and reacquaint themselves with the Turkish scene.

Our arrival in Athens , where we were met

by Mrs. Casulli of Venus Travel, and Vickie, the guide who had accompanied previous Cardigan trips , was followed immediately by a visit to the Acropolis . Here we got our first view of the magnificent Parthenon, which crowns the city and captures the admiration of all who view it. ' Our stay in Athens was short, for the following morning we left on a four-day tour of Classical Greece. Each of th" boys had a

favorite site - Corinth , Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi. The trip from Mycenae to Olympia was special for Tom because · we passed through the city of Tripoli, from which his father' s family had emigrated. Heavy rains and a blizzard made our visits to Olympia and Delphi memorable ones, although not as pleasant as we might have hoped for.

Searching for sunshine, we flew south to the island of Crete to explore Knossos , the home of the legendary Minotaur, and the capital of the Minoan civilization of2500 B.C. On a day trip to the southern coast of the island , we found sunshine and the boys climbed through the cave - homes that had been occupied by " hippies" in the late 1960's.

From Crete we travelled to Rhodes, the site of the famed Colossus of Rhodes, another of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Tom and Jon enjoyed a day on minibikes , exploring the narrow streets of the old city , while Henry and John had a chance to walk atop the walls of the castle of the Knights of St. John, Crusaders who built their impressive fortress in the fourteenth century.

A day trip to Lindos, on the southern coast of Rhodes , provided an opportunity to swim.

We had a picnic on the beach and enjoyed the invigorating water of the Aegean Sea. From Rhodes we flew back to the National Archeological Museum and a return to the Acropolis provided a final overview of our two weeks in Greece. A day of shopping and sightseeing was followed by dinner at a restaurant in the Plaka, one of the oldest districts of the city. The boys took advantage of their final opportunity to enjoy Greek specialties and listen to the bouzouki music that pervades this popular entertainment district.

A delightful reception at the home of Mrs .

Casulli gave each of us a chance to reflect and share our personal remembrances of what had made the trip so special.

We flew from Athens on April Ist , spent an unexpected day in Zurich, and arrived back at Cardigan the following afternoon. For all of us , the three weeks had been a unique learning experience , an experience which has remained vivid in our minds long after our return.

Birth: to CMS Faculty member, Bill Farrell and his wife Shelly, on March 6, a daughter, Kelly Jane Farrell. Congratulations!

The Commencement Address was given by Mr. Winston Lord, whose son Winston, was a member of the graduating class. Mr. Lord is President of the Council on Foreign Relations, Inc., New York, N.Y. Prior to his present position which he has held since 1977, he was Director of the Policy Planning Staff at the Department of State for four years and was top policy advisor on China. Prior to this he was on the Planning Staff of the National Security Council and had been special assistant to Dr. Henry A. Kissinger when he was then Assistant to the President for National Security affairs . He had previously been in the Department of Defense from 1967 to 1969. From 1970-1977 he accompanied the Presidents and Dr. Kissinger on many major trips abroad, and in his present position has continued his international travels and contacts, including a visit to the People's Republic of China in the spring of 1979 where he met with current Chinese leaders. A Yale University graduate, 1959 (Magna Cum Laude) and of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, with an Honorary Degree from Williams College , Mr. Lord is now on the Board of Directors of: The Atlantic Council of the United States; Center for Inter-American Relations, Council on Foreign Relations; International Rescue Committee; and the Americas Society besides being on the Board of Governors of the Atlantic Institute for International Affairs among other connections in foreign affairs and law at universities.

Believing that the history of America in the world holds parallels for the future of the boys in the graduating class , Mr. Lord drew his topic into

Alumni Class of /982 central to remain aloof from great power politics.

And thus we entered World War I to make the world safe for democracy and the world ." But once the war was over we retreated into our isolationism again, Mr. Lord pointed out. "It is in this phase, " he told the graduating boys, "both graduating and commencing - that you are now passing through " with leaving "the isolation of home and parents but not yet at large." And he described the early teenage years as ones of "agony and ecstasy, swallowing adversity , savoring achievement and fear. Like America during its adolescence, you feel awesome and awkward."

Entering youth, World War II , Mr. Lord said, taught this nation that "once and for all we could not remain detached from international affairs."

"In the wake of that war ... our prestige and moral authority were at a peak." He pointed out how clear our responsibilities had become, "to mobilize democracies to contain Soviet power, to reconstruct Europe and Japan; to reform the world's economy ; to foster development in the

I. tor., Headmaster Wakely - Mr. Winston Lord (Co111111e11ce111ent Speaker) - Mr . Savage Frie ze (President, Board of Trustees) four broad categories: Childhood , Adolescence , Youth and Maturity.

The childhood period, like that remembered by his young listeners , was relatively free from life's conflicts, he pointed out. Parents provide security and support and .. limitless horizons stretched before you. It was a time of wonder and innocence.·· He pointed out that more 'than a hundred years following independence, the nation lay securely tucked in between two oceans, its isolation shielding it from any world threat. But by the 20th Century, he said , " we discovered that the world might devour us ifwe did not take steps to defend ourselves and our values . We had become too

emerging nations. These were years of glorious statesmanship and creativity. We moved from the tentative commitment of adolescence to the exuberant crusade of youth ."

"By the late 1960's and 1970's, America's youthful innocence was shattered ," Mr. Lord said , "our resources were strained by two decades of global effort and a war in Southeast Asia.

Our predominance gave way to many centers of power. At home we faced many trials as we passed from youth to maturity. We lost one President through murder, another through Vietnam, and another through scandal. We agonized through our longest, most inconi:;lusive war. We 4

endured riots and assassinations, conflict between races and generations, a cultural revolution, and Watergate. America is still sortiRg out the traumas of that period, still redeeming our role in the world. Gone are the splendid isolation of our early years; the temporary commitment of adolescence; the overwhelming predominance of youth. " Mr. Lord named the challenges the nation now faces, unprecedented in its history and found reason for hope in this. " With our adversaries , such as the Soviet Union, we must show both firmness and conciliation. With former enemies, like China, we must try to build more positive ties .

With our friends in Europe and Japan, we must seek strength from diversity. With the poorer nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America, we must hold out hopes for a better future, both for our self-respect and our self-interest. And in regional conflicts, like the Middle East, we must understand that rather than right against wrong, it is sometimes right against right."

He found hope in the fact that in the U.S. the combined military , economic and technological power, we remain number one. People everywhere still look to us as the champion of human liberty."

And to the Class of 1982 he concluded with: · 'When you pass from youth to maturity, you, like America, will suffer shocks and setbacks. You will discover that success is a process, not a final condition." And he added: "As mature adults, you will need both strength and -restrai!}t with adversaries. " Pointing out that the best years of"youryoung lives stretch before you," he told the graduating students .. As you too reach maturity I hope you will recall the lessons of America. Then one day , when you are in an audience like this, as a parent with your own child commencing his life, you can say to him and to yourself: 'I am no longer young, but I will never be old. I am no longer innocent, but I have not become corrupt. I know that I am not paramount. But I know as well that I shape my own destiny.' "
