AN ACTIVE YEAR FOR THE 7th GRADE by Mr. Neil Brier, 7th grade advisor
The 1983-84 school year was successful and busy for our 7th graders . In September the class volunteered to clear out an area of the Pinnacle Ski Area which was strewn with large rocks and logs. After several hours of work, the class celebrated with a hamburger and hot dog cookout. During the winter, the class netted over $200 for its class treasury by spending a Saturday night operating the "Cardigan Diner," which offered a dorm delivery service and featured "hot-off-the-grill" cheeseburgers, soda and ice cream. This spring, the class travelled to the Bradford, NH, town hall for a dance at which Rick Massey and Billy Roel won record albums for their dance floor skills. Several weeks later the class enjoyed a weekend of camping at Phillips Brook, NH. The trip featured canoeing; fly fishing; a steak, sausage, egg and pancake breakfast expertly prepared by Chef Wakely over an open fire ; and, of course, ghost stories! Both the dance and the overnight were made possible through the generosity and efforts of Mr. and Mrs. John Pfeifle, the parents of Trask Pfeifle '86. The final event of the year was a trip to Boston to follow the Freedom Trail. The trip is sponsored annually by the history department to culminate a year of studying the American Revolution. The weather was perfect as the class enjoyed a guided tour of the area by CMS Chaplain Harry Mahoney . Among the sights visited were Fanueil Hall, the Old North Church, Paul

NINE EXPLORE THE MEDITERRANEAN
CARDIGAN CLUBS Stereo Club - A boy who joins the stereo club can build a pair of high quality speakers in 2-3 terms, under the supervision of Mr. Crowell, advisor and CMS science teacher. Chris Small '85, John Coleman '85, David duPont '85 , Chris Schneithorst '87 , Ted Martin '84, and Jeff Barclay '87 are boys who can enjoy the fine stereo speakers they built during the school year. Video Club - Led by faculty member, Mr. Neil Brier, seven boys put the school's new video system to good use· as they produced a music video . Featured were Robert Beljan, Mark Dantos and Eugene Ray as Rockwell in "Someone's Watching Me," along with Chris Burns, Bill Dock, John Golden , and Toby Schwindt. The movie was combined with two other student-made shows and provided a focal point for the allschool video dance in May.
by Anthony Carey, CMS Faculty
Jeff Barclay '87 is one of five boys who built speakers
in the Stereo Club this year.
March 13th - Helsinki, Finland: "At six we left on the Viking Steamer. The whole team was on the first floor, and the adults were on the sixth floor. We must have been on the economy floor because that's where the sound of ice breaking against the hull was loudest. Just to stay humble, though, Mr. Dewey had a cabin down with us ." Certainly it was an enchanting trip , but the memory that is strongest for most of us was the hospitality of the Finns and Swedes. When we arrived in Sweden by boat, there to meet us with banners and posters were representatives of the Munkfors student council. Everywhere we went in both Finland and Sweden, the people were most cordial and helpful. How can I describe the scene as we came off Lufthansa into Logan Airport at 5 o'clock on a Friday afternoon? "Uncle Fred," ilie hockey stick bag, had opened in transit and was spewing sticks, the boys were opening their bags to return their hockey pants and helmets, and the customs officials were simply averting their eyes .
FORTY TRAVEL TO FINLAND AND SWEDEN by Dudley Clark, CMS Faculty The hockey trip was a twelve day extravaganza through Finland, Sweden and Germany for forty hockey players and adults. Unless one has orchestrated such a trip it is impossible to understand the amount of work involved with setting it up: getting players to participate, arranging events and transportation, securing finances, acquiring equipment. Although he had some help, Varsity Hockey Coach David Dewey put the whole trip together and deserves much credit for the fantastic time the participants.had. Excerpt from the journal of Franklin Staley '85 , written during Cardigan's Hockey trip to Finland, Sweden, and Germany:

For faculty members Mr. & Mrs. Carey and seven Cardigan students, spring vacation meant a trip to the Mediterranean. Craig Johnson '84 and Vincent Wan '84, joined by 8th graders Ted Herring, Chris Small, Jeff Stevenson, John-Gordon Swogger and Trey Weiss flew from Boston on March 5th to spend a week in Turkey , a week in Greece, and four days in Rome . Highlights of the stay in Turkey included a visit to the palace of the 'Ottoman Sultans in Istanbul and a morning spent at the site of ancient Troy . While in Istanbul the boys had an opportunity to shop and strike bargains in the Grand Bazaar, ..yhere Vincent and Trey showed exceptional skill at "haggling." For Chris, the delights of Turkish bellydancers will not be soon forgotten . In Greece, a three-day classical tour included visits to Corinth, Mycenae, and Delphi and afforded an opprtunity to enjoy the beauty of the Greek countryside as well as experience a taste of life in the smaller towns of Greece. By contrast, a three-day stay in Athens provided the excitement of big city life. The stay in Athens included visits to the Acropolis and the National Museum as well as a chance to enjoy the liveliness of the Plaka, the oldest inhabited section of the city, now a popular restaurant and shopping area. Mrs. Casulli, our gracious hostess in Greece, entertained the group in her home one afternoon, not only with delicious food and drink, but with a challenging written examination as well. John-Gordon proved himself to be the outstanding scholar, writing a near-perfect exam. While in Rome the boys had· a chance to relax and do some exploring and shopping on their own. Craig and Vincent braved the crowds in order to see the Pope during his weekly audience in St. Peter's square. Jeff and Ted rediscovered pizza and ice cream Roman style, and enjoyed the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Rome .

COMMENCElVIENT ADDRESS: Caspersen Invokes Thoreau, Kipling In his introductory comments about Cardigan's 1984 commencement speaker, Headmaster Wakely noted that among the many accomplishments of Mr. Finn Caspersen, the most impressive was the fact that he is the father of a graduating senior. Mr. Caspersen's credentials are impressive: Who's Who in America reports that he is.director of 55 organizations and Chairman of the Board of Beneficial Corporation, a multi-billion dollar financial services .holding company. He is a graduate of /Brown University and Harvard Law School and a member of the Florida, New York, and American Bar Associations. Mr. Caspersen encouraged the graduates to dream and to simplify as they proceed with their educations. In quoting from Thoreau's Walden , he said, "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them." He commented also that the more a person can simplify, the easier it will be to make the right decisions. In reading Kipling's poem, "If," Mr. Casperson emphasized the qualities he feels are necessary for a successful life.

Headmaster's Day - Still riding high on the wave of a successful Grandparents' Weekend and a sunny Sunday, Headmaster Norman Wakely arrived at Monday breakfast wearing a yellow sweater, a signal to anyone who has ever been at Cardigan that something's up. Midway through the meal, 250 helium balloons filled the dining room , a young woman in a bear's costume sang to wish Mr. Wakely a happy birthday, classes were cancelled, and the boys scattered to get lacrosse sticks , tennis rackets , shorts, and canoe paddles. The sun was shining all day long on pie-eating contests, softball games, sailing, frisbee, and sunburned backs.
Cohen '84 Wins Spring Spelling Bee Ninth grader Jeremy Cohen of Montreal remained composed and self-assured throughout the school-wide spring spelling contest and won the competition by spelling the word 'weird' correctly . Toby Schwindt '85, also maintaining his equanimity throughout, failed to apply the exception to the 'i before e except after c' rule and settled for runner-up. Cohen, a four year CMS student, particip~ted in every spring and fall spelling bee, finally winning in his last opportunity. Food Service Manager Appointed Scott H. Berman , a 1982 graduate of Plymouth State College, has taken charge of Cardigan's food service. A native of Ogunquit, Maine , Mr. Berman brings 10 years of experience to his job, including this past year as assistant manager of Plymouth State's food service.

VARSITY BASEBALL HAS 13-3 SEASON by Joseph Collins, Coach and Assistant Headmaster With only three lettermen returning from last year's average team, the varsity baseball prospects for this year were bleak. However, the returnees proved to be strong and the newcomers developed well as the season progressed. The 13-3 record the team posted ranks among the best in the school's history. Over the season we enjoyed steady performances from the mound by Scott Paquette, co-captain Rich DeFreitas and Bill Elliott. Co-captain and veteran Mike Hawley was strong behind the plate throughout the season, and opposing baserunners soon learned to respect his steady throwing arm. Outfield duties were shared by Don Kunian, Jeremy Cohen, Jan Robertson, Greg Loomis and John Burke . Their consistent play throughout the schedule, including some dramatic catches by Kunian and Cohen, kept us in several ball games. Burke's 7th inning, 2-out, grand slam, overthe-gym homer helped us beat New Hampton 7-6.
Births to CMS Staff- John and Diana Chapman are the parents of a girl Cameron J., born on April 18th - J elf and Bev Kosak have a son, Lewis Robert, born on June 23rd.
RESERVE LACROSSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
After 20 years of service to Cardigan, Warren Birch retired this spring. Mr. Birch was honored at an all-school ceremony and received gifts of photographic and athletic equipment from the students and staff.
SAILORS PROGRESS We had s~veral groups of sailors this year. One group was mainly interested in competing with other schools. Another was interested in just sailing for the fun of it. Another was interested in learning. The competitors hosted a race against Brewster Academy , raced as visitors to Northfield Mount Herman School and Brewster Academy, and attended the Northeastern Schools' Sailing Association regatta at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. As the season progressed our racers improved. It was rewarding to observe the results of practice and drill. The team started the season as losers but completed it as winners .
Coached by Mr. Rives and Mr. Brier, JV Lacrosse had its most successful season ever , capturing the Upper Valley Lacrosse League Tournament from perennial champion Hanover. Cardigan won by a score of 8-3 , totally dominating a team that had beaten us twice during the regular season. Team captains were Bodhi Amos, Steffen Fletcher, and J.J. James .
3rd LACROSSE TEACHES SKILLS Helped by veterans such as Brian Fellers, Chris Shipp and David Shinn , this year's squad made up primarily of novice lacrosse players had an exciting season. Playing happily through rain and snow., the team had particularly close games losing to Hanover 8-7 after having had a 7-1 lead at halftime, and leading Woodstock twice with under two minutes to play only to lose both games in overtime. 6
Z,apata Lyder '85, Most Improved, helped lead this year's inaugural track team to a successful season, which culminated in the only Cardigan victory against Eaglebrook when all spring teams traveled to the rival school on the last weekend in May. CMS won the meet 46 - 39.
WILDERNESS EDUCATION by Rick Cruikshank, CMS Faculty Wilderness - a piece of mind, a glowing sunset, an animal track found marking the vigil of the previous night's hunt for food , a breathtaking view of the landscape below, the satisfaction felt when you know you have successfully met the personal challenge of wilderness travel, and the deep friendships that develop when you are dependent upon each other for survival. All are reasons for taking to the wilderness with pack on your back. The goal for this year's wilderness program centered upon instruction in various outdoor skills , while emphasizing safe wilderness travel and planning throJ.!gh an understanding of equipment, and personal and group skills . Specifically, formal instruction was given on map and compass use, canoeing techniques , camping skills , backpacking skills, cooking out-of-doors , conditioning, clothing, equipment and care, and local ecology. These skills. were frequently applied during excursions to nearby mountains and lakes. Our most memorable and successful outings included: an overnight to nearby Smart's Mountain; a two-day _backpacking trip to Mt. Pierce, which is part of the Mount Washington Range; hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail on nearby Moose Mountain; an in-depth ·map and compass class at the summit of the Dartmouth Ski Way; numerous hikes to nearby lakes and streams; canoeing classes on our lake; and an exhilarating paddle down the nearby Mascoma River.
