Mrs. Clifton T. Holman, Jr.; Mr. Craig Allen a,nd · Mr. Donald R. Stowe were in charg~, of the program presented at The Lodge last nig ht for th e parents and students.

The choir and glee club sang and two plays were pr_e sented, "$100,000 for a Wife" and "Ghosts in the Castle."

The choir and glee club directed

by Mr. Stowe and accompanied by Mrs. Clark ·sang several wellrece;ved numbers including "Tumbling Tumbleweeds", "Whispering Hope", "Kentucky Babe", "You'll Never Walk Alone", ;u1d "The Happy Wanderer".

Dick Clancy's TV disc-jockey pantomime was a surprise addition to the program. It was cleverly executed.

Baskets made by the student~, pictures of · various school events, class projects and the copies of the Chronicle were all on exhibition as examples of what the boys at Ou·digan have been doing.

Mr. Stowe and Mr. Jesse J. Mm.• gan, Jr., will be in charge of the annual Father-Son hockey game tv be played this morning. Miss Dorothy Emerson and Mrs. Anna Davis of the faculty will serve coffee and cocoa following the game.

Mr. Kennard will be charge ¢ transportation to Hanover for those going this afternoon . Mrs. Morgan and Mrs . Bennett ,viii be host~ this afternoon for tea.

The program for tomorrow will include coffee after church. M~s, Emerson will be hostess. There will will also be a ski demonstration in the afternoon. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Stowe will be in charge.

Mr. Bennett will have charge of the snow sculpture arrangements.

He has assigned lots to the boys and chosen a group of the fathcl:s to act as judges. Many of the stu,.. dents have been quite active in pre.paring their entries in the contest, and it looks as though the judge; might not have an easy time picking out a winner.

Mr. Allen will also conduct a snow shoe race which promises tG be quite a bit of fun.

Everything that can possibly b.e done to make the visiting parents feel at home is being done. Faculty members have assisted each other in their various projects to make sure that everything goes off with no hitches.

Many have exp-ressed the feeling that this is the best Parents' Weekend yet held at Cardigan. It certainly has been evident that every~ one is doing his utmost to make it so.

We welcome our parents to Cardigan this weekend. Special events have been planned, we've worked to entertain th~se parents of ours, and we're going "all out" to see that they have a grand time here.

It's rea lly wonderful to see them, isn't it? We're all excited to have them here so that we can show them the things we do, the places we go, the favorite spots we visit and the friends we love.

But how about the parents?

Being a parent is an experience that cannot be described.

A parent's feeling toward his children is nearly unique. One has to be a parent before he can realize what it is like.

To be here this weekend, many parents have had to give up many things. Time, money, other activities-all must be sacrificed so that our folks can be at Cardigan with us. Parents are - most of them, that is - used to sacrifices. They gladly do anything at all within the realm of possibility to help their children. · Many parents work-both fathers and mothers-to keep t.heir boys at Cardigan Mountain s ·c!,.ool ; to give them all of the advantages that are offered here. Others give up a lot of the nicer things of life, the ·iuxuries or even what many con sider necessities, in order that their son may have new clothes, new skates, another pair of skis. Few mind, however, if their sons appreciate their opportunities; if they make an effort to benefit; if they take the advantage to ·gain future happiness and security through present sources of knowledge opened to them. .. · Garments ruined in care less ·horsing around; books that have to be replaced because they w.ere .not kept in condition, hut were thrown or kicked about_tµe melting snow on t_h e bus .floor; shoes· that were expensively mistreated because we were too lazy or shiftless to untie them or to put them on our feet o_~her · than to shove ·qur toes into them and .thus ruin the backs; all of these things mean added useless toil oi one kind or a'n other for our ·p,arents eventually.

Yes, this weekend we're honoring our . parents. They are uppermost in our though_ts. Let's think of them more often a·t other times all the year around . .

You have only one set oLtrue parents. They are the closes t things to you all life through. Nobody can take their p lace. · .

On this, our Parents' Weekend for· 1955, let's remember why our parents are here with us today. Think carefully . about the reason for our h9noring them-not only now, but ·always; not only in easy ways, but in all ways. · The Bible tells ,u s-"Honor thy father and thy mother. " i.t is one of the Te.n Commandments.

Thus, let us not only remember our parents this ,ve~kend, but also remember to make it a point from which to always be considerate of them, helpful to them , respectful a nd mindful of the things they are constantly doing for us.

February is the month of George Washington. Be truthful. It is the month of Abraham Lincoln. Study hard and s triv e zealously to acq-uire an education. It is the month of St. Valentine's day. Give your parents th e . love and affection THE COBB HOUSE that they offer you all the year around. It is the month of ROOMS - BOARD the ground-hog. Don't hide from prob lems. Go out and conquer them and bring sun shine into your lives and the lives CANAAN ST. N. H. CANAAN, of others around you----:especially your family. February is a short month, so don't put it off too long. Start today . _,,-,,-,,-,,-,,-1,-,,-,,-.,-,,-,,Make this Parents' vVeekend one you-and they-w ill always remember fondly as the beginning of better lives and ha·p pier :relationships with loved ones.

Ski-Joring ·on Lake To Be Tried Again Ski-joring was a recent innovati on at Cardigan Mou n tain School with several of the boys joining the Rev . Eugene Snoxell and Mr. Donald R. Stowe, as sistant headmaster, in trying this sport on the ice at Canaan Street Lake.

Ski-joring is an activity enjoyed by all. Mr. Stowe drove the truck o ver the ice, towing the boys behind on their skis. Several tried it, too, on the toboggan. Conditions were not too satisfactory as the crust on the snow kept breaking.

The boys liked it, nevertheless.

It is hoped that with better surface on the lake, the activity will be continued this month . Movies were taken of the event at the time by the two masters.

Enjoy That Melon This Morning?

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow at Cardigan Mt. School

This is a view of the faculty lounge of The Lodge. The members of the faculty and their families all look forward to the short coffee periods each evening around the quaint fireplaces here.

Once an oid 'inn where stagecoaches sto.pp~d tc change horses¡ and give the passengers an opportunity to stretch their legs and get a bite to eat or other refreshment; The Lodge is today the main ad-

ministrative building of Cardigan Mountain School. The headmaster's offices are here, all meals are still prepared and served hel'e, and the boys all meet for study halls in this building. The second and third

, floors h\)USe nearly half of the student body as well as many faculty members and thet' families. Its charm and comfort, go to make up many pleasant . hours for the boys' indoor activities.

La:te fall or early winter changes the tree-lined avenue of Canaan Street into a winter wonderland of snow and ice. The trees spar~le with frost and the ear-muffs come out of s¡torage. Shovels and plows go to work and the . boys gain new color in their cheeks, substituting a rosy glow for the russet tan of summer days.

Once part of a group of buildings used in the manufacture of buggies and wagons , the old shop is now mainly a storage place for tools, bicycles and materials for mannual training courses. Plans for its future are still indefinite, but it may be used for the shop courses until the new facilities atop the Point property hill are ready. Here are an ¡ out. side photograph and two interior views of the way it looked before Cardigan School acquired it.
