Cardigan Today/Tomorrow (Commencement, 1985)

Capital Campaign Reaches Goal ·

by John L . Tower, General Chairman Cardigan Today/Tomorrow

The news from Cardigan is good. Late in June, just a few days before the official close of our Today/Tomorrow Campaign to raise $5,000,000, we went over the top.

When the books closed on June 30th, Cardigan had received a . grand total of $5,016,946.

This is a remarkable achievement. It has meant the completion of our beautiful new Stoddard Learning Center, an endowment for all purposes that now totals $2,000,000 and a relaxed Cardigan staff and Board of Trustees , grateful and slightly astonished at the generosity of the Cardigan family that has made this achievement possible.

Perhaps a brief review of the figures would be of interest. We spent $2,242,000 to build and equip our new library, auditorium and the building's reading and language classrooms. The building is completely paid for; the additional gifts outstanding, in the form of pledges, will constitute an endowment of the building for its future use.

It had been our hope during this campaign that" we would succeed in increasing our total Endowment from about $650,000 five years ago to a solid figure of $3,000,000. Unfortunately, achieving this goal still lies ahead of us. However gifts to endowment have brought our total endowment to $2 ,000,000-still a substantial accomplishment and a great addition to the strength and future stability of Cardigan.

Our endowment by various categories breaks down as follows: various scholarship funds established over the years now total $847 ,371 ; restricted funds for a range of special purposes now total $233,291; unrestricted funds, providing income to be continued on p. 2

Winners of the Faculty Prizes are (L to R) Rene Keilhauer, Bodhi Amos, Neil Scheufler, Charlie Whitlock, John -Gordon Swogger, and Carter Nield.

$300,000.

Savage C. Frieze, Jr., · President of the Board of Trustees, expressed his pride and pleasure with the supporters of the Today/Tomorrow Campaign. "We took a big step five years ago and we knew we had a tremendous challenge to raise $5,000,000. We have done it, and I am grateful for the 725 gifts we received."

Mr. Frieze commented further that ''raising funds is a continuing endeavor of the School. To assure Cardigan's strength and continuity in the future, we must increase our endowment funds beyond their present levels and be prepared to support the future needs of the school. '' Robert S. Gillette, Chairman of the Cardigan Corporation, said, "The success of ' the campaign could be a springboard which launches the school into a future of even greater accomplishments. We can now proceed with greater confidence than before."

The Cardigan Mountain School family and community is saddened to learn of the death of Louis J. Trillo, Jr. ' 74 of Lawrence, MA, who was killed in a motorcycle crash this spring.

Bringing our total of gifts over the fiveyear period to the final figure of $5,016,946, annual giving over the five years totalled $461,926 and the school received a variety of special gifts for a variety of special purposes with a total value of $232,988. Add 'em all up and you get our favorite number $5,016,946.

One final word about gifts and donors .

The range of our gifts went all the way from our fabulous challenge gift of $1,000,000, through gifts in five and six figures, all the way to gifts of less than $10.

The wonderfully generous major gifts, of course, put us over the top. But if your gift was in the lower ranges, don't think for a moment it wasn't appreciated and didn't become a part of our final success.

As to donors, 342 members of the Cardigan family heard our message and felt strongly enough about their Cardigan experience to want to join in this effort to achieve these major objectives and build Cardigan's strength_s for the tomorrows that lie ahead . In all, we received a total of 725 gifts, so it is obvious many donors felt impelled to take another look after their first gift to Cardigan Today/Tomorrow.

Having been directly involved in this for more than five years, I would like to add a few personal thoughts as Today/Tomorrow comes to a close.

First, my appreciation to all who have taken part in this effort, particularly the tireless Norman Wakery who has crisscrossed the continent and places overseas in support of our goals. No words can express the depth and zeal of his committment.

Cardigan is fortunate.

Then, our major donors, who again and again gave us the big lift just when we needed it most.

And finally, the hundreds of others whose support and loyalty to Cardigan is measured by their willingness to be a part of Today/Tomorrow, no matter at what level .

It h as b een a great experience, a source of great joy. I salute all of you with the knowledge that Cardigan, through our efforts, is a better place- Today and Tomorrow.

Ropes Course Built

By Wilderness Club

by Rick Cruikshank, Wilderness Leader Now in its second season, the Cardigan wilderness program was able to provide many diverse activities for its members under the close leadership of faculty members Mr. Cruikshank and Mr. Hennessey.

Each boy was able to gain the satisfaction of helping build the first six elements of a ropes course on the campus, which will be expanded by future groups next year.

Naturally, at the termination of the ropes course, we took to the rocks for climbing instruction and practice. During our long weekend trip to the White Mountains, the weather proved to be ideal "for climbing. During this weekend we logged 18 miles of trailhiking over three 4,000 foot peaks. Camping in the national forest and sleeping in the Galehead A.M.C. Hut exposed the students to two contrasting ways to enjoy the mountains.

The follpwing two weeks were spent on the water with paddles in hand and canoes gliding silently through pristine lakes and streams. Many miles of practice with essential paddle strokes were necessary to ready the boys for the rigorous twenty-inile paddle down the Baker and Pemigawassett nvers.

Participants in this years. program were Dana Lynch, '85 Josh Perelman, '86 Doug Albert, '87 Fred Reimers '85 (an excellent canoeist), and Clarke Murdough '87 winner of the award for Most Outstanding Wilderness Leadership.

Reserve Lacrosse Captures Upper Valley Tournament For Second Year This year's reserve lacrosse team completed one of its most suc~essful seasons ever, finishing with a fine 8-3 record. The highlight of the season was the team's come-from-behind victory in the finals of the Upper Valley Tournament. Trailing Hanover 4-2 with less than four minutes to play, the team rallied for three goals and the trophy. Balance and depth led the team to its success. Tri-Captain John Norton '86 sparked the offense, Tri-Captain Trask Pfeifle '86 anchored the defense, and TriCaptain Jamie Steele '86 was outstanding in his first year in the goal. Coaches Mr. Brier and Mr. Bressler were extremely pleased with their players' progress and look forward to seeing many of the boys leading next year's varsity to another successful season!

cher, received the Most Valuable Player award for the team, while Rob Daigle '88 took home the Most Impr.oved trophy.

Co-Captains Neil Alford '88 andJon Foote '86 provided valuable leadership all year long. Other players this year were Dioriision Ramos '87, Eben Ernstojf 88, Oliver Summers '88, Colin Treanor '87, and David Rafferty '88.

Award-Winning Coach Brings Experience To Varsity Lacrosse

by Steve Heath, Varsity Coach Mr. William Ritch, in his second year as a member of the Cardigan lacrosse coaching staff, worked with the varsity team. After coaching at Long Island's Sewanhaka H.S. for thirty years, where he brought them 91 consecutive victories, still a national high school record, he retired to New London, N .H. He joined the coaching staff at Dartmouth College where he was instrumental in making them a New England pO\yer.

Among his many awards, he was elected Lacrosse Man of the Year in 1970, the highest award in the profession, and he is also an inductee in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Mr. Ritch is one of the most highly regarded coaches in the game at any level, and we are most fortunate to have him as part of our program. The varsity lacrosse team finished this season with a dominating 10-1 record, going undefeated until losing its final game with Eaglebrook by the score of 9-4. Led by Captains Chris Small '85, Jay Savage '85, and Gary Hyjek ' 85, the caliber of play improved throughout the season . With a solid nucleus of returning players, in addition to upcoming players from the league champion JV team, coaches Mr. Heath and Mr. Ritch are looking to another outstanding season in 1986.

1985 Sailing - A Good Season Despite Losses

by James Crowell, Sailing Coach At the New England Schools Sailing Association regatta held at the New England Maritime Academy, Cardigan boats placed eighth out of eleven teams.

Skipper Alex Wassitsch '86 and crew John Golden '85 placed sixth on the average and skipper Jim Terkelsen '86 with crew Nelson Lemmond '85 placed on the average in seventh position. The competition was with high schools and we did better overall than we have done in the past.

We hosted Indian Mountain School in a weekend regatta for the first time. Indian

Mountain is a preprep school from near Lakeville, CT, and their students are of the same age and spirit as ours. They sent four crews including two girls, who raced us.in our sailboats ("Flying Juniors") in a series of six races. Indian Mountain won decisively, but a previously unproven skipper Al Schiavetti '86 and crew Ben Misrahi '87 were our low point crew with an average place of 3. 75 . The regatta with Indian Mountain, we hope , will become an annual event.

Brewster won at their home meet racing in "Tech Dinghies." Captain of the 1984 CMS sailing team, Anton Rainold '84, now a Brewster skipper, helped defeat us. Craig Johnson '84, a member of the visiting

Holderness track team, watched from the shoreline . Skipper Schiavetti and crew Misrahi again were the low point crew with an average place of 2. 92.

Finally, we raced Northfield Mount Hermon at CMS in our Flying Juniors.

We competed in only two races in strong wind and they won both. Doing a good job for CMS were low point skipper Jim Terkelsen and crew Nelson Lemmond who finished with an average place of 2.50.

We are looking forward to another good sailing team next year, a team which will hopefully include members of this year's varsity team: Wassitsch, Terkelsen, Schiavetti, Misrahi, Greg Long '86 and Eduardo Ampudia '87.

Holt '85 Leads Track To Unbeaten Season

by William X. Barron, Track Coach While only in our second season, the Cardigan track team dominated its junior high meets this spring to finish unbeaten, a perfect 8-and-0 . The Eaglebrook meet, against a team which had won 7 of its 9 meets, closed our season on a high_ note, as we outscored the opposition in every event while winning 8 of 9 contests in a convincing 66-12 victory-. Earlier in the season, the tracksters won a 5 -team meet at Kingswood; three days later Kingswood, which finished second to Cardigan at that meet, captured the junior high boys state championship .

One of the highlights of the track season was when a first -year runner from Finland captured the state championship in his individual event, the 110 meter low hurdles.

Eighth grader Ian Toney readied himself with his characteristic self-discipline, then took his new a-Finn-ity to the grass track of Kennett High School for the New Hampshire Jr. High State Championships:

Though Ia_n easily won the first heat to qualify for the final six, he faced another entrant whose heat-winning time in the hurdles was half a second faster than Ian best time. Then, in the finals, Ian lowered his previous best by eight-tenths of a· second to win the trophy - an award which he may have difficulty explaining when he returns home to Finland .. . New Hampshire? Hurdles? State Champion?

While running the middle and long distances, ninth-grade MIP Rene Keilhauer had the distinction of improving his time in the 1600 meters at every single meet. At the Springfield Freshman -Sophomore Meet, Rene competed in the 400, 800, and 1600 meter races - completing each in a personal best time . Then at the Eaglebrook meet, Rene won the 1500 meter run, and in the very next race came back to finish third in the 400 meters .

As an individual sport, we had many who were outstanding on given days or in certain events: Chris Schilling consistently placed in the shot, discus, and javelin; Bill McKenna paced us, especially later in the season, in the field events and dashes; and j.j. James turned on his speed in the

In this race at Bow, Ian finished second to Cardigan Captain].]. James '84, helping CMS to a 1-2-4 sweep in this event as the tracksters captured another meet on their way to an unbeaten 8-0 season.

sprints, hurdles and relays.

However, only one athlete on the team john Holt, placed in more than one event at every meet, dominating our early junior high meets by placing first in all four of the maximum allowed events . With a positive attitude and high interest level, MVP John Holt was always eager to contribute as well as quick to seek ou t suggestions for: bettering his performance.

But the race, even in track, is not always to the swiftest, rather to one who perseveres, reserving his best performance for when it most counts . John put the final touches on the MVP award at the meet with Bow and Concord, when the team standings were decided by the final event : the high jump. With everyone awaiting the final outcome, john coolly cleared his best ever, 5 foot six inches, and Cardigan won the meet with 56 points to 51 for Concord and 21 for Bow. Thanks go to Neal Scheufler and Mr. Drew Lynch for their inspiration in helping to start the track program at Cardigan last season, and to Neal and john for their will ing assistance in coaching the younger players on the team this spring.

MVP John Holt '85 made his mark this season, setting four individual CMS track records. His personal best in the long jump, in which he earned a place (including two firsts and two seconds) at every meet this spring, was 16 ft . 6 in.
