1,200 balloons, these included , were released as a part of the ceremony dedicating the Founders' Quadrangle this September.

During spring vacation a small group of Cardigan students will be touring Turkey, Greece and Rome with Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Carey of the Cardigan facu lty. This educational tour will explore the historical beginnings of our Western World through Greece, as well as the contributions of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Civilizations.

Highlights of the tour will include a threeday stay in Istanbul, a visit to the site of ancient Troy, three days in Athens, a trip to Delphi, and a day spent at the Vatican in Rome. In addition to the guided tours and lectures, students will have time for more leisurely sight-seeing and shopping, as well as the opportunity to experienc;e the sights and sounds of daily life in the cities-and towns which they visit.

The group will leave from Boston on March 3, returning on March 21, thus enabling students to spend the final week of spring vacation at home. If your son is interested in this trip, ask him to rnntact Mr. or Mrs. Carey at the school.

Long '86 Leads Varsity Football

by Tom E. Schenck, Assistant Coach "Get psyched up ," roa rs Milton Long '86 as he and fellow captain s Richard Bergner '86 and Logan Clarke '86 sprint to the bench after the coin toss . T heir team gathers around them in a mass of barely contained energy, givin g a final cheer before exploding <;>nto the fi eld to start the gam e .

This year's Card igan varsity football team was once again ready to play under the tutelage of Head Coaches Mr. Jim Marrion a nd Mr. J oe Collins a nd Assistant Coach Mr. Tom Schenck. After losin g m a ny sta rters last year the 1985 squad was to have a building year , but the boys had other plan s, exceeding all pre-season hopes .

Anchored by the powerful pl ay of varsity ve terans Hank Jones '87 , J ay Stefan '86, Joh n Barto '86, a nd Richard Be1gner '86, the Cougars' record stands at a n impressive 6-1, including a 14-0 shut-out over the u suall y tough Plymouth sq uad in the season opener!

T he success of this team is true to the Cardigan spirit of cooperati ve effort: through injuries and illnesses, boys h ave had to fill in at many different positi on s, and every time they h ave turn ed in a one-hundred percent perform a nce.

T he m ajority of Cardigan's points have been scored by its crunchin g gro und attack , blasting Milton Long '86, Geo1ge Kuckly '87, and J amie Steele '86 throu gh hu ge holes left in bewildered defen ses . The offen sive line was led by the crushing blocks of Hunt Durey '87 .

No winning team is without a varied offense, such as clutch receivers Chip Graham '86, J im Terkelson '86, a nd Logan Clarke '86, who kept opposin g defenses guessing when quarterback wizard Joh n Barto '86 went to the air.

The "wild bun ch" defense, wh ich scored three shut-outs thi s season , was hi ghlighted by the relentless ha mmering of Pat Hughes '86, George Miller '86, Jon Harris '86., and Keith Skilling '86 . One of those shut-outs was a 14-0 poundin g of arch-rival Eaglebrook.

Other boys who played man y positions and were particu la rl y effecti ve on special team s include Andy Kislak '87, Kevin O'Neill '86, Brian Mclnemy '87, J ef! Littlepage '87, Donny Larsen '87, Clint Hallsted '86, Sean Powers '87, a nd Cammy Clark '86.

David Sm il ey '86 prepares to cross the ball in th is tight scrimmage with R eserve B soccer. R ese rve A teammate Warren Prescott '88 (No. 44) waits for hi s chance with the ball as does Chuck H icks '89 (No. 6).

Tri-Captains Amos '87, Golden '8 7, Alford . '88 Lead 2nd Football Varsity Soccer Reserve Football had a good season thi s year , endin g up with a 5-6 record. Two Upsets Eaglebrook tough games a t the end of th e schedul e, one in which we lost in overtime , could have gone either way, and highlights of the season were wins over Hanover, Eaglebrook , and Newport. Fine efforts were put in by the tricaptain s as well as Derek Marshall '87, Scott Fanoe '87 , J erry R egister '87, and Matt Tebbetts '8 7.

Thursday Swimmers: The swimm in g club started another wet and wild term as the "Aquabats," led by faculty advisor Mr. Tom Schenck, spent eve ry T hu rsday churn in g up the waters of"The Fountain of Youth" Health C lub . Varsity splashers include Peter Diebel '88 , Al Schiavetti '86, Josh Taufman '86, J ohn Taufman '87, a nd Francis Gilbert '8 7. At each club m eeting the m embers usually split their tim e betwee n workin g on their strokes and perfecting water explosions off th e d iving boa rd . They're a crazy bun ch , these pool adventurers 1

Saltoun '86 Sets Pace for J. V. Soccer

Varsity football crosses the enclline fo r another Cardigan score in a successful 6-2 season.

Helping make the play work were No. 63 Hank Jones '87 . No . 80 Logan Clarke '86, a nd No . 56 Cammy Clark '86 . Watching on the sideline is injured sta rter Sean Powers '87.

J. V. Soccer sta rted off slowly thi s season , but with the addition of Ben Saltoun '86 things started looking up. Ben was converted from a forward to a goalie, a nd h as done a ve ry fin e job. The team has m ade a consistent upward progress throughout the season and by season's end becam e a closely knit unit.

Most of the sco ring was done by Dwight Kee '86, Jim Swanski '86, john Wierdsma '86, Julian Fletcher '86 , and Doug Miller '86 . Rob Conkling '86, Scott Olszewski '86, Oliver Knill '86, and Sean Selfe '86 m ade up the very consistent offensive attack. A strong defen se was played by the combined efforts of Ben Saltoun '86, Dwight Kee '86, Ted Latham '86 , Josh Perelman '86 and Josh Taufman '86 .

by James H. Dingle, Coach After a rough a nd sh aky sta rt, we have compiled a three-win record in our last fi ve out ings. One of our most outstanding win s this season took place against our an nu al foe Eaglebrook. According to their coach J ack J ones, thi s was the best team Eaglebrook team had put together in his seven teen years of coaching in Deerfield , MA. Much to their surprise we took an earl y command a nd eventuall y won 2-1.

In our most recent match against G ilford , NH, we were up against a very skilled and patient team. Throughout 3 ½ quarters of play the match wa·s tied 0-0; with less than fi ve minutes to play in the final period , we scored and held on for that thin margin of victory .

Our recent victories can be attributed to our weekly fi ve-mile jogs around Canaan Street Lake and daily Raymond Berry sprints, which the boys anticipate with great enthusiasm.

For this season we h ave h ad Ol}tstanding defen sive play from Sean Finnerty '87, J ason Hammond '86, Troy Spencer '87, a nd Mike Garvin '86 . In goal, George Needham '8 7 has played superbl y, and kept u s in the game again st Holderness with several diving saves which shut down break- away attem pts.

Our offensive front line of Marshall Farrer '86, Jim Patten '86, Peter Whitehead '87 , and Chris Hartmann '8 7 has been extremely effecti ve since the second half of the season a nd has scored 8 goals in the last 3 gam es .

At the halfback position ,J ari Myllykoski '86, Trask Pfeifle '86, and Ian Litmans '86 h ave provided the team with fin e defensive support as well as a n offensive threat. ·
