The Class of 1986 dedicates this Blaze to a person who has encouraged and supported us during our time at Cardigan. As a coach, he has worked for the strengthening of the programs he is involved in to the benefit of his athletes. As a teacher, he has been an innovator in the classroom and a tireless tutor to many. As a dorm master, he has been open and understanding. As a class advisor, he has recognized our needs and he has demanded that we give our best. It is, therefore, our pleasure to dedicate the 1986 Blaze to Mr. Neil F. Brier.

Mr. Brier Responds I would like to take this opportunity to thank Co-editors Pierce Runnells and Ian Toney as well as the entire Class of 1986 for dedicating the 1986 Blaze to me. I was honored to serve twice as your advisor. Your cooperation and positive attitude allowed Mr. Small and me to plan activities without worrying about behavior problems or trust. From our 7th grade excursions to the dance at the Bradford Town Hall and Philips Brook to this year's marathon runs to the MacDuffie School and Weirs Beach, you have given me back in friendship and loyalty more than I could ever return (even with 100 dancers!). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for some memories that I'll never forget!

Track Captain Chudzik Goes the Distance by William X. Barron, Coach

This year's track squad, though small, was determined and resourceful, finishing its junior high meets with a 4-3 record, highlighted by our second four-team meet at Springfield where Cardigan scored an impressive 153 points to double the secondplace team 's score. As the season progressed, three individuals stood out for their dedication, leadership, and consistent performances. Showing depth and versatility, as well as unmatched self-determination, eighth grader Hank Jones could be counted on to place in the top three in 3-4 events at every meet. Hank set a school record in the discus throw, and finished fourth at the 20-team New Hampshire Jr. High State Meet in the 400 meter dash. More importantly, as captain , Hank was an inspirational participant, enthusiastically supporting his teammates' performances as well as harnessing his remarkable intensity to bolster his own efforts. For two seasons Ian Toney '86 has earned respect for his impressive hurdling technique. Last year Ian captured the Jr . High State Championship in the 110 meter low hurdles; this year he mastered the 110 meter high and the 300 meter intermediate hurdle events, so that he now owns school records in all three races. Ian also consistently placed in the 200 meter dash, and

was the steady anchorman for our winning 4 x 100 meter relay teams . Finally, there is one runner who, in three seasons at Cardigan, has come to be the embodiment of the sport at Cardigan. A three-year captain of the varsity crosscountry running team, champion of this fall's all-school around-the-lake 5-mile road race, and two-year spring track captain, Michael Chudzik '86 is running at Cardigan. In addition to establishing new school records in the 3000 and 3200 meter runs , Mike barely missed record times in the 800 and 1600 meters by one second and sixtenths of a second respectively . I would like to recognize Mike not only for this season's contributions, but for that special spark he has lent all of us over these three years. While all improved throughout the season, two runners made particular progress. At the Jr. High State Meet, Santiago Casas '87 placed sixth in the 200 meters, and finished with the seventh best times in both the 400 and the 110 meter low hurdles. The other runner came to us later in the season, and he became our long-distance complement to Chudzik . By our ·1ast meet, Gabe Lee '87 had lowered his 1600 meter by more than half a minute. As he began to see himself as a runner , he found a rhythm where he could push himself harder and faster for longer as well as in spirit-we recognize Gabe as the 1986 Track Most Improved. Other members of the track team included John Stewart '87, our best high jumper and sprinter, and the ever-eager Ed Chung '88, who competed in the 100 and 200 meter dashes as well as throwing the discus and the shot. 4

JV Lacrosse: Hard Work And Growth by Neil Brier, Coach When the spring season began, the JV Lacrosse squad was the smallest ~n both size and number of players (18) in recent years. Only three members of the 1985 League Championship team, HuiNeng Amos '87, George Kuckly '87 and Jim Marrion '88 were present. The others had moved up to the Varsity level or were pursuing other interests. Of the remaining 15 players most had never played the game and several were still learning to throw and catch. Luckily for me as a coach we had one tremendous bonus: all eighteen players were eager to learn and willing to work. Our schedule was challenging, but as the sea:;on progressed the boys' hard work began to pay dividends. We defeated Derryfield 6-5 in overtime and swept two games from Woodstock. Only a sensational game by the Woodstock goalie prevented us from breaking a 2-2 double overtime tie. Our players were disappointed, but the coach was ecstatic. Here were eighteen boys most of whom had never played on a lacrosse team, disappointed to have tied the team that we hadn't beaten or tied in many years! Some of the most outstanding team members were attackmanJesse Huot '87 our MVP who ignored sore knees and other injuries to set an example which his teammates recognized when they voted him the squad's Most Valuable Player. In March Matt Husson '88 wondered ifhe would make the team, and by May was the.leading goal scorer on the attack. Also there was 1st year goalieJim'Swanski '86 whose hard work and proficiency allowed us to move our other goalie, Travis McLennan '87 into the midfield where his left handed shot was a big asset. HuiNeng Amos '87 led the midfielders with hits so hard that several of his victims _later congratulated him! And finally there were our four defensemen: Andy Pereira '8 7, David Schmidt '87, Bill Marthens '87 and Brian Mcinerney '87 without whose constant hussle and tenacity the 1986 JV Lacrosse team could never have enjoyed such steady growth . To all the team, thank you for a great season!

Reserve Lacrosse by Dudley Clark, Coach The reserve lacrosse team was a satisfying group to coach this spring. Surprisingly, the snow had vanished and the fields were fairly dry by early April when the boys arrived at the first practice, both enthusiastic and tentative. It didn't take long for Tim Baker '86 to organize a 'townie' line of Billy Ellis, a sixth grader,Jody Nields '86 , returning to lacrosse after a year on track which had made him much quicker and tougher, and, of course, Tim now fully recovered from gimp knees that had plagued his athletic career . Charlie Wingate '88 volunteered for goal tending duty, a hazardous job in most sports but a truly perilous one in lacrosse. The others aligned themselves in groups of three and were informed they would be expected to play defense, midfield and attack on a rotating basis. There was no complaining as there was little comprehension of what that meant. The season was a fascinating one . The individual improvement was remarkable. Tony Emerson '87 proved to be a fine goal scorer and could run almost forever. Joe Smith '88 and Frank Gilbert '87 put many of their hockey moves to good use and Sanford Fogg '88 did much of our early scoring before retiring to the goal for a 6-0 shutout over Eaglebrook. Jon Yates '87 eventually decided running, passing and catching was more fun than sitting on the bench andJeff Mainelli '89, our smallest man, came to enjoy contact and scrapping for the ball. Peter Greenstone '87 found controlling the ball almost as difficult as sneaking eleven bags onto the airplane at the end of school but enjoyed playing attack late in the season. Dan Collins '88, our most improved player, didn 't seem very aggressive early in the season but became dynamic as the season progressed. Mr . Mathews and Mr. Clark were so mesmerized watching the gang take Eaglebrook apart in the final game that, at one point, the referee caught them with twelve men on the field. We lost Tim andJody to graduation and will certainly miss them . The others, we hope, will be back for more mayhem.

8th Grader Sean Fin nerty cradles the ball as midfielder Jim Patten '86 lends support. Varsity lacrosse went on to defeat Vermont Academy 11-2. For the season, tlie laxmen finished with ·a fine 11-2 record. Team standouts were second-year gqalie and two-time MVP Chris Smith '86, attackmanJohn Barto '86, and M I P Sean P owers '87. With several keyplayers returning, Coach Steve Heath expects Cardigan's distinguished lacrosse program lo continue its winning form.

Since You Asked, Prospective St~dent. .. The following essay was submitted by an anorrymous 9th grader as part of a contest. Writers were aksed to answer this question: "What advice would you give a prospective student who is considering entering a boarding school like Cardigan .? ' '

For a student entering the ninth grade at a boarding school, I would give advice based on common sense, logic, and my own mistakes as a student. Advice on peers, and how to make the kind of friends one would want in the boarding school environment, would also be given. So, to you , the fourteen-year-old · boy about to enter a junior prep school , I would give the following advice: Do not change your image for the sake of being "cool." This is always obvious on the outside . It is always easy to tell who is acting , and once everyone knows that you're pretending to be what they call cool, the next logical conclusion is that you are really not. When finding friends, have a few real friends , and a few casual friends, and always know one type from the other . A real friend is more worried about you than his own image . In other words, if you are considered a nerd, a casual friend would be ashamed to be seen with you too often. A real friend would put the friendship ahead of those other people who may not think he is ''cool'' to like you . Do not limit friends to students. Take advantage of the fact that you live with your teachers . Although it may not be evident to you now, teachers are human. Good ones will treat you as human too and will value friendships. Just be~aus~ they are adults doesn't mean they can't have a true friendship with someone fourteen . Take advantage of facilities. There are wonderful opportunities to enjoy great athletic and academic facilities that you may never again get to enjoy . Who knows? M aybe you will never again see a library, co~puter room, hockey rink , or gymnasium as good or large or nice as the ones at your school, so use them! Put forth your best effort at all times . No one _will admit it , but it ' s true : everybody admires someone who goes all out in the classroom or the athletic field. Even when you don't think you will find success, at le~st you can impress people with your dnve and energy . Everyone notices . Think of your dorm room as your home, not a motel room . If you're going to be there for a while , make yourself at home! 6

Don't be afraid to ask your dorm master if you can do something exotic. After all, you ' re going to live there. You're not a guest there , you are the , along with your roommate, resident. Make academics priority one. Your success is m easured by grades , like at all schools. Make class important , not just to your advisor and parents , but to yourself. It is in most cases easier to do something for yourself than for someone else : That ' s human nature . Set goals for yourself, and reward yourself. N ever work toward nothing because you'll never get there .' It ' s lik~ driving to a resort that doesn ' t exist. But if you have some goal , you'll have something to feel good about. The reward is also important . If you think , "I want a coke, " then take the fifty cents , sl~p it on the desk , and say to yourself, " I get it when I've done my math assignment for tomorrow.' ' You will work a lot harder. Find a perfect balance . Although academics are priority one , don 't let them swamp your athletic and social interests. After all, your homework will be better if you 've had a good game of soccer and then spent some time with fri ends than if you have not done these things because you are worried about homework. Boarding school is your big chance to grab some control of your own life. But don ' t let your eyes b e bigger than your stomach. Too_ much responsibility can wreck your life . Relax a little, and work hard. You will find yourself more independent that way then if you run off with your life and fumble it. Prove to the people that you are independent , and they'll let you be .

Wilderness: Individual Challenges And Group Commitment by Lee W. McLendon, Coach The 1986 Wilderness Group, coached by faculty members Bruce Hennessey and Ms . Lee McLendon, enjoyed many challenging activities this spring. The season began . with trust games and problem s.o lving tasks to promote positive group dynamics. After learning map reading and compass skills, the group set out on several hikes, including Mt. Moosilauke and Cardigan Mountain . Before taking on Cardigan's ropes course, the boys learned about the equipment, safety procedures, and techniques used in climbing and belaying. Each individual encountered a difficult point in the course and worked to overcome his fears and doubts. To add to this, nearby Rumney boulders became a favorite climbing area. As skills improved, we headed to Winslow Ledges for a 70 foot top-roped climb, challenging all abilities. Warm weather and black flies curbed our climbing in early May, and we imigrated to Canaan Street Lake. Canoeing skills, care, and safety were learned, and rescue techniques practiced in the chilly water. During the last weeks of school, we enjoyed warmer water and more time on the ropes course. Diversified skills and much energy characterized the boys in the group. Doug Albert '87, recipient of the Wilderness Leadership Award and veteran of the group, offered patient encouragement to others while improving his own skills. Seth Reese '88, who developed his climbing skills in his native Utah, took on some eastern challenges this season. David Edy '88 and David Boegner '88 both learned many new skills and each met his individual goals eagerly. Fred Thompson, the first CMS sixth grader to go through the ropes course, challenged himself in all activities. Learning new skills, appreciating the environment, and building confidence and trust were all important in our program. However, challenging ourselves and each other and sharing our successes are what made the season rewarding for us all. In May, Mr. Hennessey set out to pursue his own challenge: a month-long climb on Mt. McKinley in Alaska. Ms. McLendon will be attending an outdoor educator's wilderness course in Wyoming this summer with the National Outdoor Leadership School. Both coaches look forward to sharing their summer experiences with students next year.

How To Avoid Capital Gains Tax Many people are locked in to lowyielding securities because of the large capital gains tax they would have to pay if they were to sell. Those people can avoid the capital gains tax by donating the securities to Cardigan's Pooled Income Fund . The Fund will then sell the securities and reinvest for a high yeild (currently over 10% ). You will receive income from the Fund for the rest of your life, or you can name another individual to receive the lifetime income . The benefit of donating such stock is that you can deduct the full market value of the shares without having to pay income tax on the accumulated gain . Your gift to the Pooled Income Fund will entitle you to an immediate income tax deduction . For further information on this and other giving opportunities, contact :
