Cardigan Breaks Ground for New Dorm Dorm, Dining Hall Nearing Completion Work on the rapidly-nearing completion dormitory on th·e Point ·property of Cardigan Mountain School has been accelerated to ens ure the dedication of the building around the first of the year, it has been revealed by the contractor.

Masonry and plastering have been just about completed. The electrical installations are nearly finished.

It is believed now that it may be -possible after ali to move into the new structure shortly after the first -of the year, although furnishing the rooms may delay the dedication to a certain extent.

Since the opening ·of the school year, the boys at Cardigan have watched work progress on the dormitory and on the companion project, the new dinging hall and kitchen. All have expressed opinions as to the speed of the construction. Douglas McLane seems to sum it up fairly well. He feels , that "many people "believe tllat the new dormitory will be ready in January. I think that· it might be ready in May or June, but I may be vvrong."

Everyone has his own opinion, it seems. Doug adds that "everything is coming along pretty well and

H. P. Hinman Returns Soon After Illness The sudden illness of Harold P. Hinman, head of the Cardigan Mountain School board of trustees, was announced fo a hushed student body in · the dining hall by Mrs. Wilfred W. Clark recently.

Instantaneous response by the ·boys poured cards and letters of well-wishes into the room in Mar)' Hitchcock .· hospital at Hanover where the popular "Hap" lay ill. Inquiries from the boys left little dciubt as to the esteem with which the students held the president of the trustees.

The gradual re-c uperation of Mr. Hinman was followed constantly as the days passed and it was with great relief that t'he boys learned of his steady improvement. Cards and letters referring to the many kindnesses shown the Cardig an fellows by Mr. Hinman, continued to cheer him at the hospital.

Although the recovery will be slow, it was welcome news that "Hap" would eventually return to the front office at the Lodge.

The new do1"mitory .,will have a large auditorium in •. the base~ent, as well as room s for 40, boys, study halls, masters quarters .a nd -lounge~.

It always seems to be a useless ge'Sture at this time when all of you have settled down to the life of the school and have already started to become " Cardigan Boys" with all of its implications. With the increase in number of boys it ia a little slower process than it would be ordinarily because of the larger ratio o{ old boys to · new. I feel that you are doing an admirable job.

You have already caught the feeling of satisfaction of a job "well done" whether it be in the claH room, in the domitory or on the athletic field. You have caught the feeling . of comradeship, friendlineaa ·and fair play which characterizes life at Cardigan.

These together with sleep-outa, cook-outs, dances, parties, the Christmas Pageant, plays, climbing up Cardigan, Clancy's cooking; will be the things that you remember about your life here.

Halloween in Guatamala

by Luis Leal In Guatamala, we have no Halloween such as you have in los Estados Unidos de Norte America, but we do have days of Santa Maria and San Jose.

The children go to the houses to ask for money and prizes. At last they have an ice cream. For these events, they put on funny masks and fancy dress, and p.Jay games like "trick or treat."

What do you know of Halloween?

Do you celebrate it ·as a party day? I like the tri-ck or treat idea, myself.

(Luis Leal and his brother Marie, came to Cardigan this year. Luis is in Grade V and wrote this composition for his teacher, Mrs. Davis.

Before coming to Cardigan, the two brothers from Guatamala City, Guatama.la, spoke hardly any English.-Editor•s· note .)

Canaan an,d Cardigan Are Visited

By Student Hikers and Bikers The series of hikes taken during afternoon activities p,e riods by the Cardigan Mountain School students have led them to man) varied and intere-s ting p.Jaces so far this year.

Several bicycle hikes have been )manged for the boys. One of these, led by Mr: Craig A1llen, had · its exciting moments when a wrong turn took the cyclists two miles out of their way to a de~d-end road.

Visits were ·paid to two beaver dams in this area. Mr. Robert Sharp led the boys to the Hutchinson · place in Grafton where tht. :work of the beavers shared interest with a rugged climb to the top of a gorge · arid its abandoned •mica mine, shaft and old inclue·d rail"way down whi-ch cars used to carry the ore some 40 years or more ago.

The other beaver dam was north of Canaan Center toward Lyme, N . H . Mr. and Mrs. Holman took a group on tha_t trip. It was · not the animals who _attracted the mos.t attention there, however. The boys came upon a family of five deep in the· woods where · the-ir car had

been mired for five hours.

The master and the hikers gave their aid to the hungry, stranded people and soon got the car free of the mud: The family went on its way home to a belated Sunday dinner that it had all but given up.

Mr. Holman took a bus load ot the boy·s to Quechee Gorge, near Woodstock, Vt. The group combined its sightseeing with shopping in White River Junction later that afternoon. On t'he way home, a further stop was made in Lebanon for refreshments.

Lary Pond, off Ro.u te ll8 on the way to Dorchester, was .the obfect of one afternoon's activities. Impromptu boating wa~ the fe.a t'1:1n. of the day. Wet f eet. didn't -c ount as the weather was quit·e warm.

Fun: on Waterfront The season for boating at Card, .. gan Mountain School's waterfront on the shore of Canaan Street lake is nearly ended. Soon the cold weather will bring skating and hockey activities to replace the canoes and boats whi-ch the boys are now hauling out under the di rection of Mr. Calvin Kennard.

Cardigan folks have enjoyed joyed weekly cookouts this fall at t'he waterfront and have shared the fun with various guests.

Some of the boys have turned bird-watchers, too, and have reported seeing loons and other feathered friends around t'he water's edge. Turtle hunts have not bee,. uncommon .

The use of outboard motors on the boats enl(vened the aq~atic actlv1ties considerably earlier this fall, but the lack of adequate care soon curtailed this fun.
