FACULTY REPRESENTATIVE Clifton T. Holman, Jr. Publrshed monthly during the school year at Cardigan Mountain School in the interest of the school, its graduates and the student body.

Welcome to Our Parents!

Parents' Weekend has arrived again. The school year is half gone. The masters get together w ith Mother a nd Dad to discuss our future!

In welcoming our parents to Cardigan Mountain· School t his weekend, we are following the advice of one of the Ten ,co mmandments - "Honor thy father and thy mother."

We have planned for this event. vVe've put t?gether _a prograni of special features, r ehearsed. a ]?lay, stud1~d music for the band concert, practiced o n the ice and ski s lopes.

Now it's time to prove our worth.

N O matter if we do make a slight fluff here or there, our parents w ill understand. They always cl?- It's a wonder, tully secure feeling to know they are backmg u s - no matter what come'?.

There ar e other ways to make them proud, though.

They'll love us w h ether we get low g rades or high , but ,vouldn't _they be pleased to h ear that we had really studied and earn.ed honors in that field a:s well as our entertainment efforts?

Right now it's too late to do much for th!5, weekend about those · g rades. But we 1re fortunate that 1t s never too late to lea~n. Vv e can make good u se of the weeks ah ead to prove o·ur worth and make mother and dad the proudest ever! . Let's try! Ai1d - perhaps · we'll be surprised to learn· l1ow good it feels to be 011 top!

Brotherhood Week Brotherhood Week wi ll be observed February 19-26.

Brotherhood Week was established by the National Con:ference of Christians and Jews in 1934. In each sub sequent vear the President of the United States annuall y proclaims the special week · as a bi:ief period during w hich we Americans should emphasize r espect for each oth er's rig hts. That means Americans of all racial origins and cr eeds.

We should be nothing but optimistic about the future.

Progress is being made toward understanding between peop ies of the world. It is an extraordinary fact, for example, that many American citizens now see themselves as responsible citizens of the world, as well as of their own nationan evolutionary viewpoint that has developed only during the last two decades. · Why? Because there is g rowing within each of u s, or so it seems, a deeper appreciation of those five fundamental values that contribute to good citizenship: self-reliance, cooperation, faith, tolerance and friendship.

In their absence, the only other vis ion of the citizen is a gloomy one indeed.
