ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE COURSE

by Joseph M. Collins,

Assistant Headmaster We have long been concerned about offering a program on drugs and alcohol to help to prepare our students for the decisions they will face related to substance use.

Several programs were considered and reviewed before selecting the Creative Drug Education Program that has been widely and successfully used by many of the secondary schools.

Many parents had an opportunity to meet and hear Richard Ryan, founder and director of the program, during the February Parents' Weekend. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Apthorpe were on campus from Monday, February 27 through Friday, March 2. They met twice with faculty to describe their program, to discuss the subject of chemical use in general, and to suggest things that we as a faculty and a school can do to help our students.

The students were divided into five groups, by grade, and had four meetings with Mr. Ryan or his associate to hear and discuss Myths and Facts, Levels and Identification of Uses, Marijuana and Other Drugs, and Social Implications (peer pressures and families). In addition, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Apthorpe were available during free time every morning, afternoon and evening for private conferences with students who wished to talk with them. They had a full schedule of conferences!

The reactions from both teachers and students were positive and enthusiastic. The students felt that they had been dealt with in an honest, straightforward manner and had been presented facts and insights which were new and helpful.

Mr. Ryan and Mr. Apthorpe found our students to be open and friendly. They claimed to have haq more open, constructive contact with our teachers than at any school they have visited, thus they felt that as a school we are in very good shape as far as substance use is concerned. They expect to continue hearing from some of our students who were having difficulty in making decisions. Both men will return in April or May for a day to be available to students and faculty for further consultations.

We are pleased with the initial results of the program and it will be the springboard for further discussion and activity in this area at Cardigan.

SUMMER SESSION DIRECTORS NAMED Mr. Robert D. Small ap.d Mr. Stephen L. Heath have been appointed co-directors of Cardigan's 1984 Summer Session.

Mr. Heath has been a member of both the summer and winter school faculties for eleven years. For the past three years, he has been Assistant Director of the summer session.

6th GRADE SPENDS A WEEK AT THE CAPE For a week in February, the 11 members of Cardigan's 6th grade class lived in a renovated Coast Guard station at the Cape Cod National Seashore. The object of the trip was to learn about the environment and fishing industry there.

Highlights were hikes at night with no flashlights; walks in White Cedar Swamp, Red Maple Swamp, and on the Cranberry Bog trail; observation of seals and ,whales; a day in Provincetown's museum and fishing port; and study of the shore's plant and animal life.

All boys kept journals as part of their academic work, and gave reports to · the Headmaster upon their return.

SUMMER SESSION continued from page 1 able, as will a new activity of track and field, directed by Drew Lynch, winter school faculty member.

Dave Pollock, who has been with the summer school since 1977, will direct the three-day long canoe trips which will go out each week. Dave not only has a great deal of experience in hiking, camping, and water safety, but is also a certified Maine Guide.

Rick Cruikshank, science teacher for Cardigan's winter school, will direct the Wilderness Adventure Program which will also be a three-day experience taking place each week.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS SUPERINTENDENT APPOINTED

George Kuckly '87 receives the trophy for Most Improved Alpine (B) skier. Making the award is Mr. Neil F. Brier, Alpine ski coach.

Ralph R. LaPointe of Laconia, N.H., will take charge of the crew he once worked with at Cardigan five and a half years ago.

With his wife Dorothy, who will assist Mrs. Lary in the business office, they are welcome additions to our staff.

Wrestling Tournament here on January 28th. Fifteen teams from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont brought 156 competitors to wrestle in Division I (grades 5-8) and Division II (9th and more experienced 8th graders). Each participant was guaranteed at least two matches in his weight class of eight wrestlers.

In addition to hosting our own tournament, the wrestlers attended two all-day tournaments, wrestled nine dual meets, and held two clinics. At the Springfield Tournament on January 7th, John Lindgren '85 and Ted Herring '85 each earned second places in their weight divisions, while Dana Lynch '85 and Fred Reimers '85 each copped third places. At the prestigious 31 -team Eaglebrook Tournament, Cardigan captured four fourth places: John Covucci '85, Lynch,

Highlights of the season included: a Sunday clinic with Jim Peckham, 1956 Olympian and national freestyle coach since 1972; Co-captain lindgren's show-stopping performance at the Cardigan Tournament; Lynch's three pins in our Harwood match; the closely contested 37-21 dual meet loss to Eaglebrook, with Caspersen, Lynch, and Reimers leading the assault; the Wednesday evening clinic with the Dartmouth College wrestlers; and Caspersen's 17-15 defeat for fourth place at the Eaglebrook Tournament, which led the Buckley School (N.Y.) coach to comment: "That's the gutsiest display of wrestling I have seen in many years."

The wrestling team concluded its season by sponsoring an open wrestling tournament.

Forty-eight students from the other winter sports took part, while the wrestlers did the coaching and officiating. Named outstanding wrestlers of the non-wrestlers' tournament were Eugene Ray '84, Orin Flask '85 and Josh Goldman '86.

This winter for the first time we had a fourth hockey team. What a delightful group it was to coach! Many of the eighteen had never played organized hockey before, ·but all were en~usiastic and worked hard. One young man enjoyed sliding in front of an opponent in possession of the puck and often succeeded in dislodging the puck. Another insisted on playing with a leftie stick although he was a rightie. He said it gave him a better shot. Our high scorer was from Mexico and our regular goaltender was from Georgia.

Many of our early practices concentrated on basic skating skills. It wasn't long before the squad was able to maneuver from forward to backward skating and reverse the process without half the group hitting the ice.

It is difficult for a boy worrying if he is about to fall to think much about the concept of team play, but as the season progressed one could see great improvement in puck control and passing.

VARSITY (B) HOCKEY MAKES PROGRESS This year, because of a large student turnout for hockey, Cardigan fielded a Varsity "B" Hockey Team. The team was composed of 9th graders, most of whom had_n't played hockey before; others ,had played organized hockey for only a year or two. While the team's 2-7-1 record wasn't outstanding, the boys improved over the course of the season.

SILK SCREEN CLUB

by Carol M. Shelton, Advisor Working under the direction of Mrs. Marks and Mrs. Shelton, the student projects centered mainly around t-shirt designs based on variations of popular record album titles and selected lettering chosen by each student. Other screens resulted wheR some students, Brad Horton '84 and Gary Hyjek '85, in particular, chose to draw original designs or original lettering and add their own artwork to the finished product.

The basic work involved in this new "speed screen" process was devoted to creating a design for the copier; work after that was limited to the actual application of the design to the item to be decorated limited only by the number of times the student wanted to apply his design to an item.

CARDIGAN'S ENDOWMENT FUND EXCEEDS $1,000,000 Cardigan has been building its endowment fund over a long period of time, but with an increasing sense of urgency since the spring of 1980, the beginning of the Today/Tomorrow Capital Campaign. Within the relatively short period of five years, the Board of Trustees anticipates that the endowment fund will reach $3,000,000.

We believe that it is essential for Cardigan to build a strong endowment, the interest from which supports faculty salaries, the financial aid program, improvement of the facilities, and the curriculum itself.

There is presently $1.2 million in funds which are managed by an outside, independent professional investment advisor, David L. Babson & Co. of Boston. The Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees has the responsibility to oversee the investment advisors and to provide growth and security in the Fund.
