NEWS FROM THE IDLL PEER TUTORING PROGRAM: Mr. and Mrs. Small of the CMS faculty are continuing an approach they introduced last year: a plan through which willing students c~ improve themselves in math, science, spelling, and vocabulary. The tutors are asked to volunteer twice weekly for 45 minutes, and, as the Smalls put it, "tutor ·and tutee chip away at it until a change takes place; friendships develop that last because of the discovery of a common interest."

NEW VIDEO PROGRAM FOR ADMISSIONS AND DEVELOPMENT: Camera teams and helicoptors are part of the Cardigan landscape during a three month project which will produce a 12 minute film describing life at Cardigan. The film will be used to show the School to interested people who can't visit the campus.

INDOOR GAME CLUB: The loud noise coming from Kirk Library Thursday afternoons is the sound of either raucous laughter or howls of despair as the Indoor Game Club is learning a new board game called Trivial Pursuit. The game, originating in Canada and new to the states, is a challenge to the mind. One must really be a trivia buff to do well. Everyone thoroughly enjoys the game.

Some other games played have been Backgammon, Clue, Chess, and Dungeons and Dragons. Mr. Finkbeiner and Mrs. Small look forward to Thursdays.

Newsletter of the Cardigan Mountain School

Cardigan Today/Tomorrow is published three times yearly in fall, winter, and spring.

It is sent to alumni, present and past parents, grandparents, and friends of the School who wish to receive it.

STONE SCULPTURE CLUB: Egyptian scarabs, snails, pyramids, and ducks are some of the figures emerging from blocks of alabaster and steatite (soapstone). With hammers, rasps, chisels, and the steady guidance of Mrs. Marks, seven students are producing work both in the round and in relief for winter term display in the Kirk Library.

THE ARTS AT CARDIGAN: The Ballet Company of St. Paul's School is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a December 4th presentation of variations from the second act of The Nutcracker to be held at CMS. Landscape paintings of local artist Mark Estes were hung in the Stoddard Gallery during September and October.

Pastel and graphite drawings of Susan Dawley opened on October 21 in a show featuring the artist reading her own poetry and answering questions about her art during her gallery lecture.

The next artist, Kathleen Kolb-Fisher of Craftsbury Common, Vermont, will present paintings of rural landscape and flora. She also plans a 'hands-on' student project involving inflatable architecture.

On November 11, 68 ninth graders and 7 staff members - Mrs. Carey, Mr. and Mrs. Crittenden, Mr. Clark, Mr. Hart, Mr. Rives, Mr. Shelton, and Mrs. Johnson (SS '83) - made a trip to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. Examination of the permanent Egyptian, Greek, and Roman collections was the main object of the trip because ancient history is being studied in ninth grade history courses this fall.

Students also visited the recently reopened Far Eastern wing to study the art and artifacts there.

Also at the museum was the spectacular show, A New World: Masterpieces of American Printing, 17@-1910. Students were able to spend part of their day with these more modern works.

Caspersen, '84

FLY-FISHING: In spite of 42 degree weather and heavy rains, fishermen liebrum, Wierdsma, DeFrietas, Kordish, Hicks, and Gund, led by Mr. Hicks, brought back a 'mess of brookies' from Marks Pond.

On a more ambitious trip the fishermen made an overnight camping/fishing expedition to the Connecticut Lakes region on the Canadian frontier. During the winter months, the club members will tie flies in preparation for the spring breakup.

GOLF: Mr. Hart and Mr. Blunt spend sunny Thursday afternoons golfing with nine students at the country club in Lebanon. Finnerty is one of the notable linksters: with right-handed clubs, he shot a 53; when he received his own left-handed clubs, he shot a 51.

WOODCARVING: Mr. Shelton reports several excellent projects underway; among them are Bayne's stylized goose and miniature duck decoy and Chudzik's relief carving of a human hand.

NEWS FROM THE HILL CASPERSEN EARNS HAM LICENSE

CLASS OFFICERS ELECTED

Now there's another "ham" at CMS (with a license to prove it, that is). For his summer project, ninth grader Finn Caspersen undertook study to pass the F .C .C . requirements for a Novice Amateur Radio License. Mr. Mahoney, CMS Chaplain, a veteran amateur himself, administered both the Morse Code and written exams. On Parents' Weekend, notification arrived from the F.C.C. that Finn had passed the exam and had been given the call KA-2-TIM.

For the 1983-84 school year these students were honored by their classmates: GRADE 9 President - Paul Bartalini Vice-President - Robert Belfon Secretary - .Tim Clark Treasurer - Peter Sola GRADE 8 President - Matt Stewart Vice-President - Nando Schmitt Secretary /Treasurer - Bodhi Amos

PINNACLE RESTORATION CLUB This fall under the guidance of Mr. Brier, seven students participated in a club whose purpose was to rebuild and improve sections of the Pinnacle and other areas around the school. Their projects included patching holes in the new Williams soccer field, clearing rocks and stumps from a newly plowed section of the pinnacle and cleaning up the mountain's cabin. Most ambitious, however, was their very successful reconstruction and leveling of the trail connecting the Stout and Main slopes. Thanks to the hard work of seniors Fox and Wesby, and eighth graders Frykland, Lemmond, Pacht, McMillan and Watkins, skiing this winter will be more enjoyable for all!

GRADE 7 President - Jon Norton Vice-President - Nat Evarts Secretary - Jody Nields Treasurer - Sean Selfe GRADE 6 President - HuiNeng Amos Vice-President - George Kuckly Secretary /Treasurer - Mark Dantos

REMOTE CONTROL CARS: Mr. Dewey and ten students build and race gas and battery powered cars which travel up to 45 mph and can be guided from half a mile away .

Courts, '86, presides over the Halloween pumpkin competition.

MAGIC CLUB: In an effort to give more boys an opportunity to learn something of the art of magic, Mr. Mahoney, resident prestidigitator, opened the club this Fall to "beginners only." Presently they are studying basic principles such as sleight of hand, and are being introduced to the different types of magic from close-up to stage illusions. Members of the club are Courts, Powers, lindgren, Loomis, Holt, Rainold, Ladd, Beeman, Arnoff, Fromm, Choma and McBee.

RELIGION CLASSES: Eighth and ninth grade Religion classes are thoroughly enjoying and benefitting from the Genesis Project production, the New Media Bible. These curriculum materials, made possible by an anonymous gift to the Religion Department, include a wealth of materials: thirty-three magnificent 20 minute color films , 66 color filmstrips with 12 minute audio cassettes, and illustrated Bible Times magazines that explore in more detail questions discussed in the filmstrips, and contain articles, news of the latest biblical research and fascinating insights. School Chaplain Mr. Mahoney reports that during class, the films frequently evoke such student comments as: "Oh, cool!"

- and how often can you expect to hear such spontaneous enthusiasm from young people for any class, but especially religion?

Nie/as, '86, and Mr. Marrion keep academics top priority.

DEVELOPMENT NOTES ANNUAL GIVING/CAPITAL FUND DRIVE: SEPARATE CAMPAIGNS

by John L. Tower Cardigan Trustee· One of the realities of private education, whether at the elementary, secondary or university level, is-the need - ever with us - to raise funds to cover the "educational gap" between tuition and current expenses and to provide capital funds for future development and growth.

Cardigan is presently involved in two concurrent programs, and this fact has been a source of some confusion to members of the Cardigan Family. lbree years ago, when we began the Cardigan Today/Tomorrow Capital Fund Drive, our Trustees were in unanimous agreement that this major effort on behalf of the School should not be permitted to interfere in any way with the continuing progress of our Annual Giving Campaign. continued on page 7

A REPORT ON PLANNED GIVING During the past year we have received several donations to the Cardigan Mountain School Pooled Income Fund, which now totals $79,307.

As of September 30, the Fund Trustee, David L. Babson & Co. of Boston, reported to the Cardigan Trustees that yield from the fixed income securities held by the Fund was running at 10.64% of market value with equity investments yielding a return of 6. 9 % at that time. Total yield of the Pooled Income Fund arnmounted to 8.9% of current market value and 11. 75 % at the cost of the Fund assets.

Participants in the Pooled Income Fund receive the full return on their share in the Fund income.

ANNUAL FUND REACHES HALF WAY MARK Mr. Crittenden, Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, is pleased to report that the Annual Fund, just over a month old, has raised $45,000, half of the 1983-'84 goal .

The generous gifts of parents and grandparents - past and present - alumni, trustees and incorporators, friends and neighbors have made annual giving a huge success and an essential ingredient in the School's enrichment programs. A warm thank you goes to all our generous donors.

'83 SUMMER SESSION GOALS ACHIEVED

by Jeffrey D. Hicks The 1983 Summer Session opened this year with a capacity enrollment of 161 children, including 114 boys and 47 girls, representing 21 states and 8 foreign countries. In the morning hours the faculty worked on an individualized. basis with the students in groups of seven or smaller on improving their grasp of subject matter in English, math and reading, with optional coursework available in computer programming, French, Spanish and typing. Evening study halls gave students the opportunity to develop their powers of concentration and organization, as well as to complete assignments for the next day . The overall goal of the program is to strengthen the students' academic and study skills and selfconfidence.

Some 30 activities were offered in the afternoon hours and on weekends; among these were flag football, soccer, swimming, sailing, canoeing, riflery, trapshooting, horseback riding, lacrosse, woodshop, art and model rocketry . One of the most popular activities was drama, and on closing day there was a wonderful presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Yeomen of the Guard," the culmination of six and a half weeks' work!

Two especially popular optional activities were the canoe tripping and the trailcamping programs. Under the leadership of Mr. Pollock, a certified Maine guide as well as a math instructor, two canoe expeditions, one for boys and one for girls, went down the Saco River in Maine. These two and a half day canoe trips, like the trailcamping program, were very well received by the students.

In the final week there was also a Gymnastics Exhibition, organized by Mrs. l.ary, who did a wonderful job with beginners and advanced gymnasts alike throughout the summer, and there were many talented performers in the group.

Finally, the summer days were enlivened with special events, such as Beach Day, a night at the New London Barn Players' "Fiddler on the Roof," a Talent Night and a mime program. We hope that the students enjoyed their summer at Cardigan and will want to rejoin us next year!

continued from page 1 Highlights of the tour· will include visits to Istanbul, Troy, Athens, Delphi, Rome, and the Vatican City.

The group will return in time for students to spend the final week of spring vacation at home before returning to Cardigan on March 29th.

HOCKEY TEAM TO VISIT SWEDEN AND FINLAND

by F. David Dewey

In an effort to promote athletic diplomacy, the Cardigan Varsity Hockey Squad will be traveling to Finland and Sweden for 12 days during the upcoming Spring Holiday vacation. Chaperoning the trip will be Mr. Marrion, Cardigan Athletic Director, and Mr. Dewey, Varsity Coach. The squad will be competing in major tournaments in both Finland and Sweden. To promote a total cultural experience for the players, they will reside with Finnish and Swedish host families.

Also scheduled for parents and players will be sightseeing tours of various points of interest. continued from page 5 Annual Giving, as the name implies, is e;oncemed with providing the School with needed funds over and above income from tuition and other charges. These funds bridge the budget gap to help meet unforeseen needs and provide opportunities not covered by the Trustees' annual budget. The Fund has been most successful in this regard. Last year, for example, in addition to providing needed funds for operation of the School, the Trustees approved Norm Wakely's request for special funds to renovate Hopkins Hall. As we've mentioned before, the availability of such unbudgeted funds directly benefits current school programs and the boys on campus this year.

For the longer range, capital funds provide the means for the School to grow to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

To this end, Cardigan Today/Tomorrow was set in motion three years ago. It has already achieved substantial results: the Stoddard Center has been brought to completion with funds donated to this campaign, and our Endowment has grown to $1 ,250,000.

Both campaigns are prospering thanks to the generous support we have received from all branches of the Cardigan family . Annual Giving this year gives early promise of record results, and Cardigan Today/Tomorrow, slightly past the mid-point of the campaign, has blessed the campus with a magnificent new learning center and is almost half-way to meeting our goal of $3,000,000 endowment by June 30, 1985.

Both programs are continuing. Both are essential to the School. Both are eminently worthy of your support.

TOURNAMENT WILL BRING 200 WRESTLERS TO CARDIGAN

by William X. Barron

Action during the first Cardigan Mountain Wrestling Tournament.

On January 28, 1984, Cardigan's gym will be packed to capacity as sixteen teams from five New England states will bring 200 wrestlers to the second annual Cardigan Mt. Wrestling Tournament.

The tournament is double elimination with divisions for both inexperienced and ex~ perienced competitors in grades 5-9 . (Firstplace winners will receive medals, while the wrestler in each division who earns the most pins in the least time will be awarded a trophy .)

Last year the Darien Wrestling Club, Connecticut, came away with eight individual champions, while Fay School, Massachusetts, had th,ree first-place winners and Cardigan, Fryeburg Academy, Maine, and Springfield, Vermont, each had two medalists. Beckley and Choe, both current ninth graders, were Cardigan's two champions.

RESERVE 'A' SOCCER: A SUCCESS STORY

by Dudley Clark

Varsity Forward Mika Suonpera, '84.

Varsity Right Wing Paul Banalini, '84.

8

Reserve 'A' Soccer was an all eighth grade team which played a hectic seventeen game schedule, often having three or four games a week. We dropped five of our first eight games but made some changes and won seven of our last nine games for a 10-7 record. Most satisfying was our 2-1 semi-final tournament victory _over Hanover, a team that had been undefeated in league play and was a heavy favorite to take the tournament. . Unfortunately, we were unable to beat Woodstock the following day in the finals.

The team was a pleasure to work with this year as it came together with the players passing unselfishly and covering for each other in defensive situations. Most of the goal tending duties fell on Staley's shoulders.

Lyder, Stuan, and Keilhauer played defense.

Bothwell centered the halfbacks working with Husson, Flask, and Guttman. The forwards were Reimers, Fellers; McMillian, Burns, Schwint, Dock and McBee. McBee actually was used all over the field, even as goal tender upon one occasion.

Many of this year's team should be able to contribute to next fall's varsity teams.

For the first time in the history of the School, 175 students were members of interscholastic teams. "'This was a winning season in all respects," reported Mr. Marrion, Director of Athletics. "Never before have we had five soccer teams and so many athletes in the whole program of cross-country running, soccer, cycling, and football."

Notable among the teams was the VarsityA soccer with a record of 14 wins and no losses; 90 goals scored and 8 allowed. Great teamwork and a super defense took them to the finals in the New England Post-Season Championships.

High point for Varsity Football was a 20-6 win over Plymouth, a team which earlier in the season had shut-out CMS 36-0.

A similar record of success was earned

by Varsity-B soccer, which after an opening loss to Claremont, returned later in the season for a 6-1 victory over the same team.

Rewarding also was a 6-1 win over Eaglebrook, and an overall record of 7 wins and 1 loss.

Teamwork and hustle win the game.

Varsity Football on the rebound.

HAPPY BIRTIIDAY, .STODDARD CENTER

FACULTY NOTES Virginia and William Hart completed their fourth summer at Middlebury College's Bread l.Qaf School of English. The five year program in literature, writing, and drama is considered one of the finest in the country, and at the end of next summer, the Harts expect to receive Master of Arts degrees .

This Fall marks the first anniversary of the Stoddard Center's dedication, and what a year this has been!

If the building could talk, the conversation would probably go like this: "You should have been here when . . .

- 200 people unpacked 10,00Q volumes for the Kirk Library one Sunday afternoon.

- the Andrew Wyeth painting found a permanent home.

- ten artists including Cardigan Mountain School family members Susan Rives, Dr. Israel Dinerman, and Deborah Crowell, hung their work in the Stoddard Gallery.

- the Beverly Bradford Wakely Reading Center began training students.

- the Caspersen and Wallace Reading Areas were dedicated.

- the Barry Foreign Language Lab was equipped.

- the Harriet and Warner Jones Projection Booth showed its first movie.

- Discovery Week opened with 30 workshops ranging from radio drama, mime and marionettes to juggling, unicycles, and silk-screened T-shirts.

- a giant talent show, "Wide Variety," gave everybody a chance to show what they could do.

- the theater opened with student and professional productions including Oliver, Yeomen of the Guard, and West Side Story.

- the weekly "Dorm Nights at Kirk" began to give every student scheduled time at the library."

Joseph McIntyre, R.N., and Deborah McDermott, R.N., Cardigan's resident nurses, increased their knowledge and experience in the treatment and care of our students by attending two workshops: one at St. Anselm's College in Manchester, NH, which offered medical training for those in charge of school age children; the other which dealt with orthopedic emergencies and was held at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover.

Rita Carey of the CMS history department has distinguished herself by earning additional credits in a 7th and 8th grade curriculum development program held at Dartmouth College.

Deborah Crowell was selected finalist in Horticulture Magazine's annual photo contest. Her photographs of native :flowers were chosen from those of 8,000 entrants.

William X. Barron, wrestling coach and teacher of English, was selected to work as part of the staff at the Top of the Nation Wrestling Camp in Estes Park, Colorado, this past summer.

David Cushman, Food Service Manager,

Robert Patterson, '84, lends a hand on openingday.

Thanks to our supporters, we now have the use of a tri-level library and study area overlooking the lake and Cardigan Mountain. We have a religion classroom, foreign language lab, reading and study skills tutorial rooms, and a magnificent theater. We have a building which is central to campus life.

What a year indeed! For such progress and for our supporters, the Cardigan Mountain School family is grateful.

Opening Day.
