HEADLINE SQUIBS Because this pre-Commencement issue of the Chronicle must serve many purposes aside from "str a ight news", we have taken the liberty of p•r esenting to the interested readers a "re-cap" o-f camp us highlights-happen ings whic h have lent flavor to everyday li fe here-names and events of interest to our r eaders . An estimated fourth of the student body has contribut ed to these "gleanings and gatherings".

It gives, we believe, a picture of interest and va ri ety.

Work Starts o-n Residenc e

Work has started on the foundation o-f the headmaster's home, which is to be a New England traditi onal with space for entertaining the boys and invited groups such as parents and a lumni.

Mr. Millard Uline, of Lyme, New Hampshire, is the general contractor. H e proposes next T hanksgiving· as the date of completion.

Due to many changes 111 addresses, Alumni of Cardigan Mounta in School have reported that the Chronicle has failed to reach them.

Mrs. Ruth Talbert, assistant to the headmaster, has asked for help in the matter. If you would like to receive news of the school regularly, won't you please send your correct address each time you change your location? If you will keep us up-to-date, we would see that you, too, are kept informed.

People who r ead the Chronicle would like to know of your activities, too. How about keeping us posted · on what you are doing as we ll as whe r e you a re?

A card from time to time would provide th e Chronicle with a very fine alumni column. Please help.

As I Look Back ... . . . on life at Cardigan, many thoughts enter my mind, tho se things I hav e learned and by which I have profited - as have many of my st udent friends.

The year is coming to an en d, and many other boys are looking back on th e "high spots" of 1955-56 . .They also look forward to what is ahead-new masters, a con tinu ed Cardigan "Chronicle", new boys to me et. The graduating class will leave; other boys will take their place.

The staff of the Cardigan "Chronicle" this year has done a good job. Under the dir ec tion of Mr. Clifton T. H olman, Jr., an d Mr. Arno-Id E. Grade, the paper has taken grea t steps in the right direction. I hope next year's staff will keep up the "Chronicle's" standing and maintain its present system o,£ circulation. I am using this m eans c f thanking the "Chronicle" staff for their work and time. Their interest, the ge nerosi ty o.f our advertisers a nd tir eless supervision have combined to produce the excellence of the printed page.

It has been important for me to know that the "Chronicle" goes all over th e world, ther efore that it is mor e than strictly a student publication. It has been important for me to learn how a paper is put together, how to deal with people, how best to understand a newspaper's responsibility to many people, how to express myself.

The honor of being "top guy" is not such a thrill ; in a way, you Lecome "the guy on the bo<ttom" . However, I know that I have learned much.

I hope to use what I have learned.

(Solution elsewhere in this issue .)

In Passing VVhe-,1 • a young fellow has "growing pains," he is a bit curious ai1J concerned; despite all ·of ·thi:s, ·howeve r, he reflects with some amount of ·pJ.easure on this positive assurance that he is. growing up.

Young schools, lik6 growing boys, are concerned with the pains they must often suffer in order to reach their full growth. It takes many thoughtful and dedicated people to g uide both the child and the school so that growth will be constant and well directed.

The school "youngster" which we know as Cardigan can look about it, with deep gratitude, at the many thoughtful and ded1catled people· who have hel-ped it grow. There are many of these people; teachers and ~usinessmen, parents and students too .

Cardigan Mountain School, a strong and impati1ent teenager now, is growing up. It i:s working toward the day when it may look beyond the Jakie , the evergreens and the saddlebacked mountains, and proudly exclaim, "I am a man!"

The school,- like all dreams which require ambition and the willingness to explore, has known both disappointment and success. Yet, even when faced with the di scouragements that come from not wishing to stand still, the school has become known as a ''youngster worth watching."

The achievement of graduates will be a measure of the school's continu1ed growth; its ability to attract good boys and good men will be important; the impression left on the minds and hearts of students wi ll count much, that impression which gathers its color and strength through years of s tudy and the growing assurance that ''it was really O.K. after all:" To those who are leav ing, the students who have taught and have been taught, and those members of the faculty who have given of themselves and now, in turn, seek new directions-THANK YOU and MAY YOU PROSPER. -A.

Treasure Island by ·Michael~Smith As I was out on the ·beach one day, Me friends from Spyglass Cove ·and-I, I spotted a chest upon ·the·' beach : · And ·open it up did I. Then we sailed ·away for a year and ·a day, To Treasure Island bright.

And ther e we stayed for many a day And man y a moonlit night.

Echo: FIFTEEN MEN on a dead man's chest.

YO HO HO and a bottle of rum.

We buried the gold on the isla nd bright, And sailed away for a yea r and a night .

But when we returned, the chest had been burned, And all that was · found were tl; e men on the ground, And the gold had floated from sight.

But still we sing with saddened ring And the blissful beat of the drum Echo: FIFTEEN MEN on a dead man's chest.

YO HO HO and, a bottle of rum.

From the Headmaster's Desk As the winter school draws to a close, Mrs. Burbank and I are conscious of a very intense and satisfying experience in our first five and a half months at CMS. W e have been busy coming to know th e people here, exploring the many corners of the property and becoming acq ua inted w ith the varied customs of fhe school.

We like what we find, and are happy ot hers like it too. The new boys and new teachers signed up for next year will add mu ch to th e sc hool, while th e old hands carry on its vigorous traditions. I detect a note o.f quiet, confident optimism about the future.

To all those - students, staff, trustees, townspeop,Je, alumni and friends-who have helped so much to fit us into our new job, go ou r heartfelt thanks . I assure you that

It is fai rl y we ll proven that most boys who behave we ll ar e well adjusted to the grou p in wh ich they live. This means that they are much happier than the boy . who tries hi s best to draw the interest of the group by showin g-off. These boys really feel that they are popular and are behaving a ccording to the latest fashion. Usually, they are consistently late, rude to their elders, do a poor job in th eir studies, and generally are very ~mbarrassed when requested to do something fo.r the good of th e student body. They spend so much time in trying to "show off" and "get away with things," that they have little time for the prn·c ess of grow ing up .

The boy who behaves fairly well, however, has an enjoyable feeling of doin_g good things. He is a progressive and popular boy with his elders as well as his fellow students.

He is the one whom the school backs 100 per cent in most of his wishes. He is the boy who gives his studies honest effort, who does what is expected of him, and above al! he is growing up to be respected and admired by all those who are too weak to live up to his standards.

So we come to the perhaps astounding idea ,that the m ore "good" a boy does the happier he is. How much good do you do?

About The Many Things That We Have Done

• ••

Dick Clancy is a ma n of man y talents. When he is not cooking, he enjoys fishing, woodwork and.

TV. Forty-one yea rs young, he hasb e e n with Cardigan Mountain Schoo-I since the beginning. After· ge tting out of the service in thesu mmer of l94-0, he took his family to Goose Pond, where he met Mr. William Brewster. They talked of a new school that was getting underway - Cardigan Mountain School. Before many days had passed, Dick foun·d himself head cook of the new school.

\ i\lork started in September, and Dick still remembers that the first st ud ent to arrive - a day early was J ohn Rose. The first year was" hectic, but a lot or fun".

When school opened th e fo llowing September, it was und er the Headmastership of Mr. Robert.

K imball, now living in Au.s ti n, T exas. Dick was beginnig to get we ll se ttled with his fa miJy..:.....his. wife, Nellie, · and a family which now numbers three, Theresa, Michael and Richard .

The year 1950 _was memorable on two counts; Mr. Wilfred Clark assu med the H eadmastership, and a summ er session was started. AsDick looks back over these years , he seems a little surprised wheii he realizes that "those boys" are now g rown and through college.

THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE WEATHE R

by Charles Schutt Winter at Cardigan is very cold a nd stormy . T he t r ees are bare, and the h ea vy gray clouds rush overhead . T he snow is deep and covers everything in sight . It is at this time of t he year t hat the boys and masters enjoy an especial shift in activit ies; there is lots of skiing, and the rasp of hocke y skates, sticks a n d pucks may be heard. It is fun , but I think they all look forward to spring.

The first signs of a change are the o n es we note most carefully.

The sun comes out more o-f ten, and the storms a r e few. If one looks hard enough, the trees m ight ap pear a li ttle greener. Even the lake starts to me lt, and this is a t r ue sign of a change in t h e weather. The ice turns mushy and dark, and then (May first this year) t he ice "goes out". The brooks and streams begin to r ush madly. The on ly snow in sight is on Mt. Cardigan. Now the sun is nice and warm, the streams are overflowing and everyone is happ,y.

The b oys start playing baseball , and the thud of ball in g love becomes once again a fam il iar sound.

It is rea lly spring.

Finally, at the encl of school, all the trees are out, and it is very warm. The older boys graduate and you feel really grand.
