Reflections on 2019 from the Communications Office Like most folks, my morning begins the same way every day. Aer dropping my bag in the Communications Office in ClarkMorgan Hall, I exit the back door by Hayward, heading to the Commons to fill my Yeti coffee tumbler. And each morning, at about the same place, the summit of Mount Cardigan comes into focus, and I remind myself how lucky I am to be here; lucky to feel so welcome in such a supportive, tight-knit community in such a beautiful place. It is difficult to believe I’ve been here for almost two years. Perhaps they’ve gone by so quickly because there have been so many stories to tell. is year, we began construction of Wallach, our new academic hub of experiential learning; celebrated trustee Dr. Richard D. Morrison’s ’50, P’76,’82 fiy years of service to the School; were thrilled by the NBA debut of Mo Bamba ’14; were inspired by the 2019 Commencement address of Stanley Cup Champion Ben Lovejoy ’99; witnessed the retirements of Cardigan icons Wim Hart H’08 and Bob Spano H’18; and, sadly, honored the passing of too many of Cardigan’s finest. For almost seven years, Erin Drury helped tell those stories as a member of the Cardigan Communications Office and as the editor of recent issues of the Cardigan
Chronicle. is past spring, Erin informed me that she would be leaving Cardigan for a new opportunity at Crossroads Academy in Lyme, NH, closer to her home. In the short time we worked together, I learned a great deal from Erin about the nuances of life on e Point. I and the entire Cardigan community wish her success at Crossroads. Erin’s departure proved to be a challenge for the Communications Office, as we were forced to play a team member short during the summer, a time when we usually tackle larger strategic projects because the hustle of the academic year is still a few months away. ere’s a cliché that suggests that with change comes opportunity, and I spent the better part of the summer of 2019 searching for one. A few weeks before registration, opportunity walked into our office in the form of Emily Magnus, an experienced independent school communications professional from nearby Holderness School. In ten years at Holderness, Emily served as interim director of communications, director of publications, and associate director of communications and marketing. Perhaps most significantly, she edited the Holderness School Today magazine for more than six years. Please join me in welcoming her to Cardigan.
Emily is a prolific writer, curious interviewer, and experienced photographer. With utmost confidence, I place the Chronicle in her capable hands, as she will serve as editor. Hopefully, you’ve noticed that recent issues represent an evolution from the design of the last decade. is issue marks our second installment in a four-issue journey to redesign, redefine, and refresh the magazine for the decade ahead. By the time you read issue number four, planned to coincide with Cardigan’s 75th Anniversary in the fall of 2020, we hope to have arrived at a design paradigm that honors our past, present, and future, tells the stories of the boys and faculty that live, study, and play here, and profiles alumni, parents, and friends who are leaders in their communities and industries and continue to give back to the School in so many inspiring ways. I know that time will go fast, and I can’t wait. r

A Place to Start
Emily Magnus, back at CMS after over two decades away, and now the editor of the Cardigan Chronicle.
During my first week at Cardigan, English teacher Al Gray H’12, P’14,’16 and I reminisced about the year I had worked Summer Session at Cardigan. It was decades ago; I taught math and was a lifeguard on the waterfront. I was also in charge of the summer yearbook. I still remember the cover, and when I described it to Al, he knew just where to find it. Out of a dusty stack of old papers stored on the bottom shelf in the Summer Session corner office, Al pulled out the yearbook from 1995—a gray cover with Cardigan Mountain School traced in green
letters. On the back cover was my name, in small letters at the very bottom. Joining a new community and starting a new job is always filled with unknowns. Even as adults we ask the same questions as the boys who join Cardigan every fall. Do I have the skills and knowledge to do the work? Will someone sit with me at lunch? How will I find my way around the campus paths and buildings? Will I belong? When Al and I stood in the Summer Session office, flipping through old yearbooks, seeing my name on the back cover grounded me. Most of the faces of the faculty and staff have changed, but the classroom in which I taught in Hopkins still has the same windows that overlook Canaan Street Lake. e trail along the shores of the lake are still shaded by towering White Pines, and the Chapel still remains a place of peace and reverence, the towering windows letting in abundant light and framing the view of Mt. Cardigan. I had been here before; I was part of Cardigan’s history. It would have been easy to settle into the Cardigan I remember, to go back to the places I knew over twenty years ago and enjoy the Cardigan that was—morning runs around the lake, aernoon green and white competitions, evenings hanging out with faculty on the Clark-Morgan porch. But Cardigan has changed, and I am different as well. e school teacher who taught at Cardigan during the summer of 1995 is still alive and well in heart and soul, but my
work is now focused on storytelling. I was drawn back to Cardigan not because of my memories but because of the work the school is doing—developing programs for middle school boys that provide them with a solid knowledge base for secondary school and also provide them with the skills and confidence to enter a world that needs creative and innovative thinkers. Telling the stories of Cardigan and sharing the mission of the school are worthwhile endeavors, and I am glad that I can play a part in their development. e role I played so many years ago is barely worth a footnote in Cardigan’s history, but for me it has been a thread of belonging. I was here once before and I have been welcomed back. It has been a pleasure getting to know the school again, and I am looking forward to the many adventures I will have here—as a writer, as a storyteller, as a member of a very intentional, inclusive, and important community. r

Respecting the Climb I awoke the morning of the Dawn Climb at 3:30 a.m. and, while letting the dog out, I could feel both the chill of the morning and an unmistakable wind from the southeast. Any good New Englander knows that wind from that direction almost always portends foul weather. I knew that the summit of Mt. Cardigan would be windy, cold, and probably socked in; however, we don’t postpone the Dawn Climb until conditions are perfect—we work with what we have and persevere. I closed the door and packed my backpack, adding a warmer hat and my down jacket. Cynthia and I arrived at the summit by 5:30 a.m., ready to greet the boys when they arrived. Visibility was cairn to cairn and wind at the top was punishing. Nevertheless, by 6:00 a.m. boys began to emerge out of the darkness, in trickles and then waves. ese young men, full of latent and sometimes as yet, untapped resources, joined this journey called Cardigan. When all the boys had gathered at the summit, my message to them was brief, as I had to compete with the howling wind to be heard. I recall referencing one of my favorite lines from the Cardigan
6
hymn, “through storm or weather fair.” I also referenced this year’s theme, “Respect the Climb.” is theme, like those that are identified each year, serves to rally and focus the community around a collective thought that moves us forward. Literally and figuratively, one doesn’t need to reach far to comprehend the meaning. e sun made a brief appearance—first a shimmering light, then in the form of a dull orange ball—then it was gone, obscured by clouds and fog. It was time to head down before hypothermia (and hunger!) set in. As we descended, Cynthia and I came across PEAKS Department Chair Jarrod Caprow, leading one last boy slowly toward the summit. e boy was a new sixth-grader who—I now know—has spent little of his young life outside of a city. We decided to join this Cougar to offer our encouragement. As dawn arrived, it was anything but comforting, but this boy kept putting one foot in front of the other, as he navigated the fearful elements of the treeless summit. When he touched the fire tower at the mountain’s peak and stood on the survey marker embedded in the granite dome, we celebrated his
accomplishment (he might have called it his punishment…) and acknowledged his hard work. Before long, however, we began to hasten our way down, trying to beat the rain, which the wind was pushing our way. Cynthia and Mr. Caprow went ahead to join the others at the bottom, while I escorted this young man, step by tentative step, back towards the bottom, nudging him along when he stopped to notice a squirrel or point out to me that only some of the raindrops seemed to be finding their way through the leafy canopy above. Focused on his present, oblivious to anything but his individual footfalls, he— and I—finally made it to the nearly vacated parking lot and back to campus, where there awaited a hot breakfast and a busy schedule. His Cardigan journey was underway. I oen say that I don’t think there has ever been a more important time to be educating middle school boys than right now. Of course, I am keenly aware that the same could have been said twenty-five and fiy years ago as well. In fact, nearly seventy-five years ago, when Hap Hinman and the founders of this school rolled up their sleeves
to start this unique community, they weren’t doing it for self-aggrandizement. ere was a need—and there still is—to help our boys grow into men, not to shelter them from the elements that surround them but to give them the tools—the metaphorical gear—to help them navigate their journeys. What a wonderful gi this boy provided me that day—an accidental but clear example of our mission and our theme. is boy literally respected the climb that day. Negotiating his fears and discomfort, he trusted the community and the mission of the school—surrendering himself to his growth and development—step by step—through storm or weather fair. r

E
NTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE MODERN WORLD REQUIRES SKILLS IN design, marketing, and managing a company, often when there
is no road map or business model to follow. While Cardigan students are a long way off from running their own companies, the sixth- and seventh-grade boys are immersed in a program through which they can build the necessary problem-solving and creative skills.
Have you ever wished there was an easier way to sort silverware? Remove snow from your hockey skates without slicing your fingers on the sharp blades? Change your clothes more efficiently aer working out? ese are all problems that boys at Cardigan considered last spring and then set out to solve as part of the Charles C. Gates Innovation and Invention Competition that takes place at Cardigan every year. What’s important to note here is that the inventors in this case were not adults, nor in high school, nor even in ninth grade. e inventors were in sixth and seventh grade, in their first years at Cardigan. Armed not with years of engineering expertise or mathematical knowledge but with their middle school experiences, these boys came to understand that creativity, innovative thinking, and productive failure are far more important than advanced degrees or fancy titles. 2019–20 marks the 13th year of the Gates Competition at Cardigan, and as the program moves well into a second decade of operation, there are many causes for celebration. A new director of the program
and a new dean of academics are both poised to lead the year-long program forward, relying on current research to support and build the classes and projects. In addition, the program will have a new building by the fall of 2020, creating a variety of opportunities that are not feasible in the current academic buildings. The possibilities invite new thinking, creative solutions, and potential growth—both for the School and for the boys.
launching Ideas In the 13 years of its existence, the year-long Gates program has introduced students to the tools of creation and the mindset of an inventor, and then has asked them to apply the skills they have acquired to invent something of their own—following a passion, helping out another, or solving a practical, everyday problem. e program is made possible through the generosity of the Gates Frontiers Fund and Diane Wallach H’16 P’06, a Cardigan Trustee Emerita. It is one of only two programs like it in the country.

Gates Competition] teaches Cardigan boys how to evaluate “ the[Theproblem space before jumping to a solution. It teaches them iteration and the value of ‘failure.’…And in a world where startup accelerators like Y Combinator are approaching Harvard-levels of prestige, that type of experience—especially at such a young age, where its lessons have more time to compound—is invaluable.” — Gates InnovatIon and InventIon — JudGe Matthew BrIGhtMan For the sixth- and seventh-grade boys enrolled in the program, the year begins with a series of projects that introduce them to a variety of tools. With a pillow project, students use an Epilog Mini Laser Cutter/Engraver to engrave a personal design into fabric, trimming the fabric with rotary cutters and learning to sew, first by hand and then with a sewing machine; in a second project, students design their own board games and use a 3D printer to create the game pieces. In yet another project, sixthgrade students learn what it takes to grow plants in a soilless environment and then how to build a functional unit, making connections to both math and science. Meanwhile, seventh-grade students build a bicycle generator, learning about AC/DC electricity and looking at more sustainable approaches to power generation. e students in both grades also spend time on projects that require the use of standard shop tools and equipment, including band saws, miter saws, drills, drill presses, and sanders. By January, the students are ready to take the skills they have learned and put them to use developing their own inventions. rough journaling, research, and class discussions, students pursue passions, investigate creative solutions, and take the time to wonder what is possible. At this stage
16
the ideas are endless, and the students explore many different directions. Take, for example, the work of Beau Brissette ’21 and Sebastien Madan ’21. At first, the boys imagined a shovel with a net attached that would help marine biologists to safely capture sea creatures; they also thought about inventing some sort of device that would hold a pillow in place so that it would not end up on the floor in the middle of the night. Another idea involved developing a hockey skate on which the blade was removable. “We came up with a lot of ideas in the beginning but most of them just didn’t work for one reason or another,” says Sebastien. “e whole project taught me a lot about failing and learning how to overcome that failure.” Learning to fail and acknowledging when things just aren’t working is part of a process that Director of the Gates Program Eric Escalante P’20,’22 encourages. Drawing inspiration from Launch: Using Design inking to Boost Creativity and Bring Out the Maker in Every Student by John Spencer, Eric talks to students about productive failure and the cyclical nature of the creative process. He emphasizes that mistakes should not be equated with the termination of a project; rather, if students can see failure as just one step in a much longer process and
learn to persevere through that failure, they will see the value in not giving up and in finding alternate solutions. e acronym LAUNCH—L = Look, Listen, and Learn; A = Ask Tons of Questions; U = Understand the Process or Problem; N = Navigate ideas; C = Create a Prototype; H = Highlight and Fix—serves as a framework for the process. “It’s natural for us to want to immediately go to ‘How do I solve this problem,’” explains Mr. Escalante. “What we’re trying to teach the boys is to ‘Look, Listen, and Learn’ about what they need to know before trying to develop solutions. And it’s rarely a linear process from start to finish. e students need to get used to doing many mini-cycles.” By spring, Beau and Sebastien had settled on a problem to solve—how to clean snow off the blade of a hockey skate. Along with their classmates, the students got to work understanding their problem and then researching possible solutions and developing prototypes. What about their design worked? What needed to be improved? What still needed further consideration? For Beau and Sebastien that meant testing a mat with grooves into which a hockey blade could be inserted, but when a classmate suggested that the device be hand-held, they changed their design completely. It wasn’t until they were wandering around the Gates Lab one day and spotted an old hairbrush, that their invention really came together. e end result was a molded-plastic handle with two felt-covered dowels attached where the bristles of a hairbrush usually emerge. By sliding the skate blade in between the dowels, snow and water were removed. Once the LAUNCH cycle results in a finished product, author John Spencer believes students should complete one final step: share their invention with an authentic audience. During the last phase of the Gates program, students do just this, designing posters and writing speeches they present to a panel of judges. If they have prepared well,
In the Gates classroom students have access to countless bins of motors and wheels and wires as well as the tools to design and build and test— everything necessary, in other words, to understand a problem, brainstorm solutions, and build prototypes.
their sales pitches will earn them a place in the finals and perhaps a patent nod—a coveted prize that funds the first phases of a U.S. patent application. While Beau and Sebastien did not receive a patent nod, their blade cleaner did finish in third place.
Beyond Gates Cardigan, however, is not just emphasizing the inventive and creative spirit through the Gates program. In a recent document describing e Campaign for Cardigan 2020, it is written, “Our mission urges us to prepare Cardigan boys for responsible and meaningful lives in a global society, but the workplace of the future will look very different. Even as we equip students with important skills, we know that they will be required to develop new abilities in the years to come. Cardigan is committed to helping each boy build the personal and academic character that he will need in order to navigate these uncharted waters.” If then, Cardigan is about preparing “middle school boys—in mind, body, and
spirit—for responsible and meaningful lives in a global society” and that society asks them to respond and contribute to ideas and situations that haven’t even been thought of yet, creative design and innovative engineering skills will be crucial, even daily needs, for the next generation. It isn’t about being creative and agile in just some situations but rather about putting them to use in daily habits. Both Mr. Escalante and Arts Department Chair Nina Silitch P’19,’21 are leading the charge to encourage this behavior. In the time between classes and during natural breaks in the day, students oen pull out their laptops—searching through YouTube and Instagram for simple but enticing distractions. Mr. Escalante and Ms. Silitch diligently fight this behavior with projects in their classrooms and in the adjacent hallways. Intended to spark wonder, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, the simple board games, quick puzzles, and one-minute art projects, give students an alternative to whatever is happening on the internet.
“To me, it’s all about being a creator not a consumer,” says Eric. “e more we can get students involved in creating videos instead of watching them, designing games instead of playing them, creating art instead of just looking at images on Instagram, the better.”
Creating the Right Environment ere’s more, however, to cultivating habits of creativity and innovation. Yes, having the right tools and developing the right daily habits are important, and the competition perhaps provides a bit of motivation to the boys, but Mr. Escalante has come to recognize one other key ingredient: safety. And in reading Dan Coyle’s e Culture Code, Mr. Escalante discovered scientific support for the type of environment he wants to encourage. Aer spending four years visiting and researching some of the most successful businesses in the world, in e Culture Code, Dan Coyle describes models for building environments in which innovation and creativity thrive. Surprisingly, his studies do not point to hiring really smart

LOOK AND LISTEN
Pillows fall off beds at night, making for cold and uncomfortable sleeping conditions.
Hockey skate blades rust when stored in hockey bags overnight.
ASK QUESTIONS
What tools are marine biologists currently using? How are they made? How do they work? What causes the injuries? What are the conditions under which the tools are used?
Why do pillows fall off beds? Are there certain situations that cause a pillow to fall off a bed more easily? Do the qualities of a pillow (materials, amount of stuffing, size) affect whether or not it falls off a bed?
What causes rust? What are the skates made out of? What about the bag? How frequently are the skates used? What prevents rust?
Beau and Sebastien would have needed to develop something that scoops gently, perhaps with a net instead of stiff metal. It would have been difficult for them to develop with the tools that were available to them.
Beau and Sebastien thought of lots of possible solutions but discovered during their research that several solutions to their problem are already in production.
Beau and Sebastien decided to develop a product that could be used to dry hockey skate blades before they are stowed in a hockey bag.

CREATE
What materials should the Blade Cleaner be made out of? Would it be easier to have a mat to step on or a device that is handheld?
Beau and Sebastien quickly realized that a handheld device would work better than a mat and chose to work with an absorbant felt cloth. Wooden dowels drilled into a handle and covered in felt provided a way to remove snow and ice from a skate blade.

The LAUNCH Process: Beau and Sebastien
Beau and Sebastien’s first design ulitized a handle made out of wood but they found it to be bulky and uncomfortable. Their final design ultilized the molded plastic handle from a hairbrush.

individuals or investing heavily in technology. He writes, “…we tend to think group performance depends on measurable abilities like intelligence, skill, and experience, not on a subtle pattern of small behaviors…But what we see here gives us a window into a powerful idea. Safety is not mere emotional weather but rather the foundation on which strong culture is built” (page 6). Safety: the feeling that all ideas will be embraced and encouraged, the knowledge that creative solutions will be supported and given room to blossom and develop, the confidence that even failure leads to success. It’s the type of environment that was common to all the successful companies that Dan Coyle researched and that Mr. Escalante believes is at the heart of the curriculum he is set to lead and develop. It means teaching students to respect each other’s ideas, using constructive feedback and encouragement rather than negative criticism. It means training teachers to
about being a creator not a consumer. The more we can “ getIt’s allstudents involved in creating videos instead of watching them, designing games instead of playing them, creating art instead of just looking at images on Instagram, the better.” — DIRECTOR OF THE GATES PROGRAM ERIC ESCALANTE encourage independent thought rather than answer students’ questions for them. Lastly it means providing students with the opportunity to grow in confidence and skill. Fortunately, Mr. Escalante has the support of Dean of Academics Jamie Welsh, who recently joined the Cardigan faculty from Northwood School in Lake Placid, NY. “Cardigan serves boys from so many academic and cultural backgrounds that it forces all of us to continually grow to meet
the boys where they are and push them to be the best versions of themselves,” says Mr. Welsh. “I really think that the opportunity to engage the boys and inspire them is so great. One of the most exciting things about educating boys at this level is that it’s really about sparking passions to keep them excited about learning.”

Room to Grow But if feeling safe and receiving continuous signals of belonging are so important, why then is Cardigan building a new facility? Wallach, the new academic building, is named in recognition of the dedicated vision, direction, and support of Diane Wallach H’16, P’06 and is envisioned as a hub for innovative design, applied engineering, and creative arts. What opportunities will the building provide that the current classrooms cannot? First, Wallach will provide more space, space that will be designed with creativity in mind but will also allow for more flexibility in a very busy academic schedule. Currently, crowded lab spaces and a single art room in Bronfman Hall are used every period during the academic schedule, resulting in experiments and scientific inquiries that must begin and end within 40 minutes—including teacher prep time. e new building will provide additional classrooms for art projects and 3D inquiries that can take place over several days. Or, with changes to the schedule, 40-minute periods can be expanded or rearranged to allow for more time during certain periods. A second benefit of Wallach is its location. Currently, for some boys, one class may occur in the classrooms in the Marrion Athletic Center and then the next class may occur across campus in the Gates I.D.E.A. Shop, a seven-minute walk away. Wallach, however, is situated in close proximity to the other academic buildings and will help define a true academic quad with Bronfman Hall, Hopkins Hall, Stoddard Center, and the classrooms in Brewster Hall. “It’s going to be a place where collaboration can happen, and not just in art,” says Ms. Silitch, who helped architects during the design phase. “It’s an opportunity for all disciplines to collide and spark.” It turns out that Nina’s desire for proximity and shortened transitions isn’t just a personal preference; it’s backed by science.
The end result of the Gates program, as well as a Cardigan education, is not to walk away with all the answers and with all problems solved. Rather these boys are equipped with the tools to problem-solve and persevere, no matter the subject.
As Daniel Coyle explains in e Culture Code, proximity matters. In a study conducted by MIT professor omas Allen, the distance between desks has more to do with the success of a project than any other factor. Allen found, “What mattered most in creating a successful team had less to do with intelligence and experience and more to do with where the desks happened to be located” (pg 71). By the very nature of the location and design of Wallach, collaboration and cooperation will happen with more frequency and with more positive results. Lastly, Wallach will also allow for more space, not just for the arts and for the Gates program, but for all academic programs. When the doors to Wallach open for business, spaces in other areas of the campus will be renovated for other programs including music and science; in addition, teachers who currently share classrooms will have their own spaces in which to develop curriculum and not just dream of what is possible. • • • • • • •
Take the time to talk with any Cardigan boy who has been a part of the Gates program, and it is clear how powerful the experience is. While many admit their
inventions never make it past the design phase, they are in agreement about the ways in which the program has influenced their approach to failure. Beau, who is now in eighth grade, says that the Gates program has helped him view his schoolwork differently: “I now know that if I make a mistake or do badly on a quiz or even a test, I can bounce back.” His partner, Sebastien, agrees: “In Gates you are always failing and learning how to overcome that failure. Now when I get a bad grade on a test or quiz, I ask to redo it. In the past I would have been too lazy.” What Cardigan is doing, not just in programs like the Gates Innovation and Invention Competition but also in the little daily moments, is building opportunities for boys to develop their creative “what if ” muscles and persevere even in the face of failure. Perhaps they will use those skills to help reverse climate change or find an alternative to fossil fuels. Or perhaps the problems that this generation of Cardigan boys will face don’t yet exist. But no matter the problem, they are ready, with confidence and creativity and a collaborative mindset; they know how to dig deep and make mistakes and dream of what’s possible. r

pivotal moments Rick Johnson hasn’t taught at Cardigan for several decades, but it was here that he learned the important role middle school can play in the education of a child. In fact, middle school has become the focus of his newest venture—founding a school for grades five through eight in Hopkinton, NH.
• by emily magnus Afternoon sun slants through the high windows of my office as I unlock my door and wait. It’s unusual for me to be on campus on a Saturday, but I am here to connect with a former faculty member during one of the few moments that both of us are free. The outer door opens, letting in a cool gust of fall air, and Rick Johnson P’20 joins me. As we shake hands, our conversation quickly turns to his memories of Cardigan from over a decade ago. At that time, the lower level of Clark-Morgan was still the entryway into the Hayward dining hall, and neither Cardigan Commons nor McCusker Hall had been built. Mr. Johnson was a new faculty member then, around the same time that I taught one year of Summer Session. While our times at Cardigan didn’t overlap, we knew many of the same people and could recall their names with equal joy and nostalgia. Mr. Johnson’s fondness for everything Cardigan is clear. What is equally clear is his love of teaching. e way Mr. Johnson tells it, he recalls three distinct decisions in his life that have led to his current position and what he says is the greatest job he’s ever had. Mr. Johnson grew up in Wallingford, CT and knew nothing of boarding school, other than the fact that the campus of ChoateRosemary Hall was just down the street from his home. Fortunately, he was a good student, and by eighth grade, he was accepted at Choate and his understanding of school completely changed. Gone were the worksheets and spelling tests he was used to in public school. At Choate, he quickly realized he had never learned how to
learn and spent the next four years developing the academic skill set he’d need for college. He also learned about the benefits of living in a residential educational community, forming personal connections with his teachers and coaches. “People talk about pivotal moments in their lives,” says Mr. Johnson. “For me, attending Choate was one of them.” Fast forward to his graduation from Hamilton College. Mr. Johnson knew he wanted to coach football but wasn’t quite sure where to begin. He worked at the Wolfeboro Camp School the summer aer graduation and received several calls for interviews by the end of the summer. Cardigan Mountain School was one of them. en Headmaster Chip Dewar H’02, P’93 needed a math teacher who could also teach English and coach football and wrestling. Mr. Johnson was more interested in teaching history, but when he visited campus, he knew he wanted to stay. Cardigan was Mr. Johnson’s second life changing experience. “I remember falling asleep with the boys’ papers on my chest,” he says. “e schedule and the time with the students was so intense and I was learning so much; the only thing that came easily was coaching football.” “What I came to realize during those first years,” Mr. Johnson continues, “is how important middle school is. If you do middle school right, if the faculty and coaches and students commit to being all in, everything else just falls into place.” He stayed at Cardigan for four years before following his wife Sharon to Pennsylvania, where he

taught at the Sanford School. Eventually, they returned to New Hampshire and boarding school life when Mr. Johnson accepted a job as the dean of students at Tilton School. While at Tilton, the Johnson family doubled in size, with the addition of Nate in 2005 and Libby in 2007. Mr. Johnson loved fatherhood and enjoyed the connections his position allowed him to make with students. “en I saw an ad for a new school that was opening in Hopkinton, NH and was seeking a founding head of school,” says Mr. Johnson. “I called the school almost immediately and asked for a 20-minute meeting. I wasn’t sure I would be the right fit for the school, but that 20-minute meeting turned into two hours. e founder’s philosophy and mine matched, and I knew it was going to be an important move for me.” at school was the Beech Hill School. It opened its doors in 2011 with Rick Johnson as its head of school. Eight years later, the first class of eight students has grown to 39. It is a stand-alone middle school that prides itself in connecting with students and taking advantage of the natural environment surrounding the school. “Middle school kids need a community that is safe and gives them a place to explore and develop confidence and independence,” says Mr. Johnson. “Because Beech Hill is so small, we get to know the kids really well and can put their needs first.” Mr. Johnson also believes middle school kids need to get outside. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to do that at Beech Hill. e school is located next door to a dairy farm, and a community-supported agriculture (CSA) farm operates just down the street. “One day last spring, we were able to borrow waders from the New Hampshire Fish and Game and explore the beaver pond behind the school,” says Mr. Johnson. “All the students were out there exploring and identifying plants and looking at bugs…At

that moment I was really proud of what our school has become.” Beech Hill is also close to EVO Rock and Fitness, a climbing gym in Concord. “We developed a partnership with EVO because we had one student who had already done some rock climbing prior to attending Beech Hill and he wanted to continue,” says Mr. Johnson. “We started taking all the students and they ended up placing in many of the EVO school league competitions and winning the last three school league titles.” is fall, in addition to leading Beech Hill, Mr. Johnson has also renewed his ties with Cardigan, not as a teacher, but as a parent. His son Nathaniel is a ninth grader. “When I was a teacher here, I got to experi-
ence a bit of the Cardigan brotherhood,” says Mr. Johnson, “and I’ve always wanted that for my son. We took him for secondary school visits this fall, and even aer just one month at Cardigan, I’m already seeing changes in him. I’m really glad he is getting to experience all that the School has to offer.” For many, there is one person or event that leads them down life’s path in a particular direction. For Mr. Johnson, it was a school, or three schools to be exact— Choate, Cardigan, and finally Beech Hill. It’s a path that has led him to care deeply about educating middle school students, connecting with each one and getting to know them as individuals.
Our interview ends sooner than I had hoped as Mr. Johnson’s son is a linebacker, running back, and kicker—and captain—for Cardigan’s varsity football team, and their final home game of the fall has started on Marrion Field. With camera in hand, Mr. Johnson heads out the door, and I follow. We’ve arrived in time to see the end of the second quarter; happily, the Cougars are winning. Unlike many parents, Mr. Johnson doesn’t engage in small-talk; his full focus is on the game and how much time the boys have to make another touchdown before the half. As always, he’s all in. r

But when it was clear that there would be no spectacular sunrise, they turned to exploring the summit and posing for photos—hoods tied securely, flags from their home countries snapping in the bitter wind. When Head of School Chris Day P’12,’13 gathered the boys and spoke with them, his words were brief—and many of them were carried off to the next county! What the boys did hear, however, reflected the theme of this year—Respect the Climb—a theme born out of a desire to encourage respect, in all its nuances. Mr. Day was quick to congratulate all the boys (and faculty!) for making it to the summit of Cardigan. Mother Nature did not make it easy, and with gusto and cold temperatures she proved how important it is to be aware of weather conditions. At a very basic level, respecting the climb is about staying safe and recognizing that Mother Nature is powerful and deserves our awe, our admiration, and our careful consideration, no matter the time of year. At a deeper level, Mr. Day explained, “Respect the Climb” serves as an introduction to the journey that these Cardigan boys have begun. Their time at Cardigan will be difficult at times, will challenge them frequently, and may very well make them want to give up. Respecting the climb for these boys means acknowledging that discomfort and failure are ahead and that courageously moving for-

Putting the Core Values into Action emphasize how embodying the Core Values benefits everyone. The community-wide “buy-in” to the School’s Core Values is more than something that is aspired to as some far-off objective to reach years down the road. Cardigan is dedicated to putting them into action, and they are seen and practiced in almost every area of life at Cardigan, by students and faculty alike. New ninth-grader Will Rassier ’20 says he most often sees the Core Values in action in the chapel, through the respect and compassion of the entire community when other members of the community both courageously and honestly share advice, experiences, and wisdom. “During chapel, we come together as a community and take time to reflect on different topics In November, Cardigan’s fantastic kitchen crew prepared a delicious Thanksgiving feast for our community.

Cardigan Community Contributes to the Success of the Annual Auction The Annual Cardigan Auction is always a highlight of the Fall Family Weekend. It is also a testament to the warmth and generosity of this community and how willingly people give to the School and contribute to its success. As Family Weekend began, many parents helped set the atmosphere for the Auction. The theme was “Out of this World” and featured cougars in spacesuits and a starry night sky. Countless individuals strung lights from the highest beams, assembled glittering stars, and decorated tables with moonscapes and astronaut action figures; the dining hall was transformed into a journey through space, complete with a rocket ship and a giant crescent moon. Meanwhile, downstairs the Silent Auction took shape under the watchful eye of Development Associate Jessica Pecora. Tables with donated items from faculty, staff, trustees, parents, and alumni filled the downstairs of the Commons. From handmade quilts to original artwork, from Beats headphones to giant Lego sets, from dinners with faculty to Cardigan swag, the auction items up for bid were endless and provided any number of ways for people to join in the fun. The Live Auction kicked off with a video featuring Head of School Chris Day P’12,’13 as a disoriented astronaut exploring our campus, searching for its inhabitants and gathering data with the help of base commander Cynthia Day P’12,’13. As the video ended, Mr. Day joined the community in the dining hall, entering through a cloud of smoke and wearing a spacesuit, complete with helmet and moon boots! The energy was contagious and excitement for the Auction built. From the Heads or Tails contest to the Live Auction to the final Fund a Need initiative, participation was strong. People made generous contributions at every level, knowing that their dollars would be used to further the mission of the School and support the development of countless Cardigan boys. We are pleased to report that the proceeds from this year’s Auction totaled over $350,000 and will benefit The Annual Fund for Cardigan, which supports all aspects of our program. Whether it was through a sponsorship, item donation, patronage, enthusiastic attendance, or all of the above, the support of everyone in the community helped make the evening a success. Cardigan is truly fortunate to have such an active and supportive community. r

Cardigan Prouty Results By the Numbers! A small but mighty team turned out for the 38th Annual Prouty this year. This two-day event, held in Hanover, NH, is the signature event of The Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center whose mission is to raise money and awareness for this nationally recognized cancer facility that has 15 locations throughout New Hampshire and Vermont to reach patients close to home. With eight different ways to participate, the Cardigan Cougars had plenty of ways to contribute to the fundraiser. Here’s a bit of their story in numbers. r

from marrion field days later, the U12 (born in 2007–08) and U14 (born in 2005–06) members of the team competed in the final nhArA qualifier race at the Dartmouth Skiway. The results of this race would factor into qualifications for the 2019 nhArA State Championships. Skiing in difficult, windy conditions, six Cardigan boys raced their way to spots on the State Championships start list, more than any Cardigan team in recent memory. U12 Justin Kim ’22 and U14s Anders Silitch ’21, Jeffrey Kang ’21, Sebastien Madan ’21, Wilson Knapp ’21, and Jason Lee ’21 all earned spots at the nhArA State Championships, held this past March at Wildcat Mountain Resort for the U12s and Cranmore Mountain Resort for the U14s.

An attackman, Cepiel led the team in scoring, tallying almost 60 goals while always drawing the opponent’s best defender. Pace, a vocal, rangy defenseman and a two-year starter, was the leader of the defensive unit and dominant on ground balls. Ahn was a grinder between the restraining lines, fighting for loose balls and scoring big goals in key moments. Cepiel cites the team’s 10-7 win at Deerfield in April as a key moment in the team’s development. “We were down 4-1 but fought our way back and showed what we were made of,” he says. “Some younger guys stepped up big and we got key goals from seniors who don’t always score a lot of goals. That’s when I knew we had something special.” In addition to his captains, Coach Frost mentions Isaac Abbott ’19 (Deerfield Academy), Ben Baroni ’19 (Governor’s Academy), and Julian Popowich ’20 as key contributors: “All of these guys have given our team some backbone and made big plays when we needed them.” Captain Pace also shares praise for his goaltender Popowich. “Pops was unreal. He’s been an absolute wall,” Pace says. “Being an eighth-grader, it’s a lot on his shoulders to be the starting goalie here, but he came up big when we needed him.” The future looks bright, too, as Coach Frost mentions key

attended the event. Mrs. Gibson’s son Will, who has Down’s syndrome and was the inspiration for Buddy Up Tennis in 2008, also joined the event and played alongside Gianluca. Also attending the event were Gianluca’s Cardigan tennis coaches, Pablo Rocha and Ed Ramos, as well as several of Gianluca’s classmates. “Gianluca played tennis at Cardigan for three years and his passion for the game and his desire to improve as a player were clear from the very beginning,” Mr. Rocha says. “As his coach, it was amazing to witness how much time and effort he put into Swing Into Spring. He went above and beyond from the beginning to the end.” The success of that first event led to the founding of the first Buddy Up Tennis program in New England that now gives 15 Down syndrome athletes the opportunity to play adaptive tennis each week. It also motivated Gianluca to organize a second Swing into Spring in 2019, during which he exceeded his fundraising efforts from the year before. The 2019 event also included a demonstration showcasing the Buddy Up athletes and the adaptive tennis drills designed for them. This allowed the 60+

hIstory’s mysterIes By Judith SolBerG Cardigan Mountain School’s archives collection brings together familiar and not-so-familiar items to give us a better understanding of the School’s past. In this recurring Chronicle feature, the Cardigan community helps to shed light on both discoveries and puzzles from the archives. If you can identify anyone in the photos on the opposite page, or if you wish to share a related memory or story, please email your reflection to archives@cardigan.org.
1. Faculty Members Identified We can now put names to the faculty group shared as a “mystery” in this space last issue. In the foreground (kneeling, left to right) are dan fleetham, dolly peach, cathy farrell, and tony farrell; behind them (left to right) are jack heagy, Headmaster robert kimball, virginia kimball, and ted peach. One key to identification was cross-referencing this 1948 slide with a number of labeled images held in other parts of the collection, a process that is becoming an increasingly helpful strategy for understanding our School’s history.
50
2. Mystery Meeting We also used a cross-referencing strategy to identify this unlabeled group photo, in which we spied former Cardigan headmasters wilfred clark and roland burbank and their spouses. While we were excited to see these couples in the same image (a rarity!), we were perplexed by the rest of the unfamiliar faces until archives volunteer and former faculty member wim hart h’08 found the answer in a box of press clippings: the same photo was printed in the Manchester Union Leader in May 1955. Its caption identifies everyone pictured, and explains that the group was comprised of private school headmasters holding their annual spring meeting at Cardigan. For that meeting Roland and Connie Burbank were visiting campus only as representatives of Proctor Academy, and would not be invited to join Cardigan until the following winter.
3. School Song An article in the December 1951 Chronicle announced the adoption of a school song with lyrics written by then-faculty members don stowe p’60 and norm wakely h’91, p’70,’73,’75. Although a number of early alumni could immediately hum the tune of this song, all were stymied by its origins until bev wakely h’01, p’70,’73,’75 recalled that verses added in 1989 in Norm’s honor identified the music as the “Washington & Lee Swing.” Washington & Lee University’s fight song was so popular that it was co-opted by many other schools, and had been sung on the air by Rudy Vallee in 1930 as the “Tulane Swing.” Says Bev: “Now I know how they came up with the tune. Norm graduated from University of Maine and Rudy Vallee did too, and I think belonged to his fraternity (different year, of course).” A quick online search yields a number of instrumental versions that might have inspired alumni karaoke performances.
4. Riding at Cardigan When Assistant Headmaster bill everts left Cardigan in 1947, robert feeley was hired to assume Everts’ duties as riding instructor. dr. richard morrison ’50, p’76,’82, recalls the instructor warmly. He believes that Feeley built students’ empathy and confidence through horsemanship, noting that “Bob taught each young boy to be totally comfortable with an animal, to not to be intimidated.” Today’s farm program for Cardigan sixth-graders follows the same principles, teaching boys transferable skills through close work with rabbits, llamas, and other livestock. While we have little documentation of Feeley’s time at Cardigan, we know that by 1951 he had departed to serve as a jumping instructor at Culver Academies. In the picture at left, Feeley is shown at left modeling a proper seat (!) for some unidentified students.

Gift planning? Hoping to leave a legacy? Consider becoming a member of Cardigan’s Heritage Society. Cardigan Mountain School’s Heritage Society recognizes donors who have included Cardigan in their will (bequest intention), or have named the School as a beneficiary of a trust, a retirement plan, a life insurance policy, or other charitable giving vehicle. Through gift planning, a donor can achieve their philanthropic and financial goals, while at the same time benefiting Cardigan by supporting its mission and ensuring the future financial strength of the School. Legacy gifts can also commemorate a loved one or a special Cardigan experience. For me, participation in the Heritage Society is acknowledgment of my experiences on The Point. Cardigan represents a huge part of who I am. The life skills I learned in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the dorm are woven into my personal DNA. Today the boys, who come through those front gates to study, play, and grow at an important time in their middle school years, take away experiences and relationships that last a lifetime. It is important to me to leave something behind so that Cardigan will continue to provide and build a foundation for these young boys, now and for the many generations that will follow. – Stewart S. Dixon, Jr. ’80, Cardigan Mountain School Trustee To discover more about the Heritage Society, contact Sandra M. Hollingsworth at shollingsworth@cardigan.org or 603.523.3745. To learn more about this type of gift planning, it is recommended that you also consult your financial advisor.

summer, Mo traveled to Asia to promote basketball internationally. He was also able to return to Shunyi, China—an area he’d visited once before in high school— to continue work with a nonprofit called Love and Hope, which teaches skilled trades to children in the rural district. Jake Peters is attending Nazareth College and will be playing for the Golden Flyers on their hockey team. John Seter is a redshirt sophomore at the University of Georgia where he plays quarterback for the Bulldogs. Adonis Williams transferred to Adelphi University where he will continue his college basketball career. In April, Cardigan coach Jeff Good was able to reconnect with Class of 2014 basketball teammates Adonis, Keaton Nichols, and Mo Bamba in Boston, MA at a Magic vs. Celtics game. Mo was sidelined with a leg injury but is now back on the floor and playing well!
2015 Roope Hirvonen is moving up through the ranks of the Finnish hockey leagues. In the 2018–19 season, he captained the Helsinki Jokers of the Junior A League.

Cardigan’s Career Network Offers Support Online The launch of Cardigan’s new website has created an opportunity to bring to life a complementary component of the Cardigan Career Network. This network is designed to connect alumni with mentors who can help guide academic and career paths by offering advice, connections, and employment. Now, in addition to connecting with members of the Cardigan community in person at receptions, alumni looking to leverage Cardigan’s network will be able to find that support online. Alumni who sign up will have access to a database of mentors, all of whom are alumni,
faculty member Bob Low and featuring Wes Turner ’18. Hugo Turcotte was selected by the French National Hockey team to attend a camp for elite goalies in France in early August. In the fall, Hugo returned to St. Michael’s College for his sophomore year. After playing hockey at Cardigan and Loomis Chaffee, Jack Kavanaugh, took up wrestling in his senior year, much to the pleasure of CMS wrestling coach Allan Kreuzburg P’14,’17. The two connected at a wrestling tournament last winter. After a great season, Jack went on to re-
parents, or friends of the School. Mentees may search for a mentor based on geographic location, field of expertise, or educational background. No matter what stage of life an alumnus finds himself, from applying to secondary school to planning for retirement, we hope this network helps him achieve his personal and professional goals. Alumni, parents, and members of the broader Cardigan community are invited to sign up as mentors and offer their insights and experiences. Beyond feeling good about volunteering their time and wisdom, if a mentor is seeking an employee, he or

Peter led a group of young people in raising over $6,000, which was donated to local food pantries in DuPage County, IL. Peter recalled the
Cardigan mantra of “Lift while you climb,” and said, “Ideas are great, but they only have value if you put work into them. Having young people lead the lifting is especially meaningful.” Peter is currently enrolled at Holy Cross College, where he plans to major in environmental engineering and row on the crew team. Kazuma Hirata is a senior at Blair Academy and is currently considering universities. In his senior year, he is a dorm prefect and is playing on the football team.

make it even bigger to include more designers, more sewers, more models. Whatever interests people have, I want them to contribute to the show and showcase their talents.” Following his graduation from Deerfield Academy, Nick Pecora chose to attend the U.S. Naval Academy and hopes to continue his lacrosse career as a goalie for the Midshipmen.

2018–19 annual report of gifts
From the Director of Development Dear Cardigan Alumni, Parents, Grandparents, Trustees, and Friends, e 2018–19 school year was an historic fundraising year for Cardigan. Gis from over 1,000 donors last year amounted to $11,151,572 in total giving to Cardigan, allowing us to meet our Annual Fund goal, fully fund a state-ofthe-art academic building, and surpass $60 million in comprehensive fundraising for e Campaign for Cardigan 2020. ese staggering achievements are a testament to the amazing Cardigan community of alumni, families, foundations, businesses, and friends who believe deeply in the important work that is done on e Point with our boys every day. In addition to those who supported the School financially, I would like to extend an equal measure of gratitude to those who hosted, attended, or volunteered at Cardigan events, cheered on our boys in athletic contests, or in one of countless other ways that helped tighten and expand the Cardigan community. e unique program that we offer our boys, and its continued improvement, depends to a large extent on the engagement of our broader community. e more successful our program, the more impact we have on the boys’ lives. e more we give back, the more successful this program becomes. is virtuous cycle is fueled by the myriad ways you contribute to, and engage with, the Cardigan community. I look forward to the opportunity to build on the growing strength of the Cardigan community as we begin to plan for Cardigan’s 75th Anniversary and beyond. On behalf of our students, our faculty, and our staff, I thank each and every member of the Cardigan community for your continued support of our School and its mission: to prepare middle school boys, in mind, body, and spirit for responsible and meaningful lives in a global society.
With sincere gratitude,
Joe Burnett ’95 Director of Development and International Relations

2018–19 annual report of gifts
building toward our future Cardigan’s Annual Fund is vital to funding the best educational experience possible for our boys. Each year generous trustees, alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends help us raise over a million dollars in support of our mission! By supporting day-to-day experiences on The Point, the Annual Fund helps enrich each student’s experience at Cardigan.
your annual fund gift helps cardigan: r Provide snacks and supplies to Cardigan’s budding athletes, artists, musicians, and scholars—both in and out of the classroom. r Support joyful traditions like the Sunset Climb, Eaglebrook Day, and Polar Bear Club. r Build an inclusive and diverse student body through financial aid for deserving boys. r Facilitate professional development for faculty members, who reinvest their learning into the Cardigan curriculum. r Implement visionary programming, incorporating active learning and an entrepreneurial spirit. In fact, your support for the Annual Fund funds all of the people, programs, and traditions that make Cardigan so special. This means that each and every gift has an immediate impact on members of the Cardigan Community.
