It is time that the responsible fellows a t Cardigan Mountain Schoo l took steps to protect themselves from the few miscreants who are s poiling everyt hin g we hold dear. Are we to continue to let these trouble makers . upset thin gs for u s?

You are proud to be a s tudent at one of the fine st schools Df its kind in the country. You are enjoying a camp u s and buildings finer than many other sch ools have. You are fortunate in having men who care l eading the school. The trustees and the faculty are willing to g ive everything for you - i f you will s how a spark of appreciation.

If you don't feel this pride; if you can't see what benefas are yours for the earning, you are one of those troublemakers who do not belong here at Cardigan.

You first need to r espect yourself. Lacking self-respect, you can · respect nothing else . Reputations like c hina, g lass and s tatu es can be mended w hen they are broken, but they are never the same n eve r quite as good.
