NEW DRESS

Bill W'Cilrster '60 Last VJednesday at Headmnster 1 s meeting Mru Burgank said that a~eer the Christmas holidays we would have to ·ear a ~ood dress shirt, tie and a sports coat or suit coat to dinner.

The student council and faculty decided on this because some boys were just wearing an old woolen shirt and a coat and it did not look good when we had guestso Other schools use this rorm of dress and students golng from Cardigan should ~et into the habit of dressing well.

The new rule will go into effect after the Christm~s vacation. giving boys time to buy I the clothes they need I during the ~olidays ..

The proofs were to have been taken home during Thanksgiving vacation so that the parents could help you decide which one should g;o into the yearbook.. You viere also to decide whether you would like to have some pictures made for yourselves. They make wonderful Christmas presents~ Mro Poblenz took the orders on December 4th"

It is electric and will replrice the old undependnble truck motor •r•hich wa~ used formerlyo Doctor Ja~oda ~ave us enough Asiatic flu vaccine to ~noculate the whole school. This may have so \-ed the school from a major epidemic of the sameo Mr. Duksta, whose son ~ent to Cardigan last year has been nice enough to give equipment for our hockey team and Mro Albee has donated firehose so that the hockey rink can be flooded mor easily and quickly.

Also, not to be for~ gotten, are the many friends who contributed books to our rapidly expanding library.

Mr. Poblenz will be back in the winter and spring to take pictures of the various activities and pictures or · those who for some reason could not have their pictures taken before. These pictures should make up a fine yearbooko

This is no joke and it should not be laughed at nor shru~~ed off. We at Cardigan Mountain School want to establish and keep a good reputation.
