"As you may or may not know I am at the University of Oregon.

As a student at Cardigan I neve r had it so good. I never thought the human race was crazy enough to put so many hours in just studying.

"My profs are just as uninformed as usual. They all think their cour se is the on ly one you're taking and as a r es ult you sur e feel it when they hand out the assignments.

With ~11 of the social ~vents planned, let's not lose_ sight o-f our mam reason for bemg at school-to learn. It 1s not too late for most of us to get those few extra points in our grades that separate passing triumphantly from failing miserably. 'fry - Keep Trying!

The system of grades at Cardigan is cumulative-all in your favo r. A premium is placed on accomplishment and effort. Emphasis is never put on the past. It's the present and future that counts.

Don't wait until June 1. By then it will be too late, and you'll be left out.

Camph hopes to keep receiving the Chronicle and to see Cardigan next year when Alumni Weekend arriv·es.

School Pets Keep Masters on Toes

by David Dagnino

Pets at Cardigan Mountain Schoo,J keep the masters busy. The fad seems to be increasing, too.

Peter Randall and Fred Arsenault have rabbits in the old pump• house at the new dormitory. Tom Dunn has a hamster, and Gregory Cronis and Richard Fisher have tried to keep chickens.

Goldfi sh, parakeets and canaries are popular-with the bo•ys. Now that waterfront ac"tivities are increasing, turtles have begun to ap pear in some rooms. Crayfish wern tried out, too.

Tadpoles arid salamanders-even a snake-have been remo·v ed from ' the sleeping quarters mys teriously -but some masters are suspected of having information about the dis- · appearances.
