CardiganChronicleTHE MAGAZINE OF CARDIGAN MOUNTAIN SCHOOL FALL 2012

IN THIS ISSUE . . . Relationships:The Real Stories of Cardigan’s Success

It has been a privilege to be charged with the creation of Cardigan’s magazine, now for the fourth year, and it has genuinely become, for me, a labor of love. And this particular issue, with “relationships” as its theme, was a difficult one to contain. The year since our last Chronicle was published has been, as Dave McCusker often says, “full and rich.” I’d call that an understatement, and I feel very fortunate to have been here to experience the excitement on The Point. As I put this (very large) project “to bed,” as they say, I’m already anxiously anticipating all that will fill our spring Chronicle, with its theme “Ready to Roll!”

When I set out to gather material for this issue of the Chronicle, I was unprepared for just how much I would gain—personally—from filling its pages. Much like a salesperson, I made quite a few “cold calls” to talk with members of the School’s community who I had learned would have unique stories to tell about their Cardigan relationships. To a person, all the folks I called (or called on) were both gracious with their time and tender in the honest remembrances they offered me, of the ways Cardigan people have touched their lives. I felt honored to receive these memories.

I am also grateful for the time and tenderness shown me by the School’s actual number-one documentarian: Steff McCusker. I may labor over the Chronicle, but the extent of my work pales in comparison to what she does —five days a week most weeks—to provide great stories to our extended community and to help families feel connected to their boys, some of whom are quite far from home. If you aren’t a subscriber to our e-newsletter, To the Point, I recommend taking a look at some of our past issues at cardigan.org/tothepoint. While juggling that considerable reporting and writing, Steff also contributed to this issue and did all the proofreading.

Another person who inspired me during the creation of this issue is Peter Klinefelter, Cardigan Class of 1972. Pete shared with me such honest tales of his Cardigan time that they very nearly qualified as confessions, and his enduring love and respect for Jim Marrion and Joe Collins spill over in the telephone and email exchanges we have had (and continue to have). He’s determined to come back to The Point for a visit soon, and I can’t wait to meet him—it’s just that he needs to get through a few chemotherapy treatments first. Get well, my new friend.

About four years ago, Steff and I welcomed two visitors to Cardigan—a veteran headmaster of an independent boarding school in Australia and his wife. The only

contact we had had with this couple prior to their visit was by email. They had done some research, found Cardigan by searching the internet, and hoped to put our school on their itinerary among other schools in the United States. As a new headmaster, I was eager for some good advice and wisdom, which my seasoned counterpart would surely have to offer. So when they were actually here on The Point with us, I asked him for

his thoughts on providing sound leadership and how best to foster a healthy school community. He took less time than I thought would be necessary when he responded, simply, “Relationships.”

He couldn’t have been more on target. Now in my sixth year as headmaster, I fully appreciate just how important it is to maintain strong and active relationships with all members of the Cardigan family. Certainly, for my colleagues on The Point, it is well understood that fostering healthy relationships is fundamental to our ability to provide an excellent education. We want our boys to enjoy wonderful friendships with one

another, and we strive for positive and respectful relationships between the children and adults in the community. When people feel safe, respected, encouraged, and “heard,” they will be more inclined to take risks, stretch themselves, and engage more deeply in their own growth and learning.

Cardigan is enjoying an interesting and exciting time in its history. With an eye toward the year 2020, our school’s 75th birthday, we’ve begun to capture the voices of many individuals who have had a relationship with the School—in some instances, dating back as far as our founding year. As we prepare for a major celebration of this milestone anniversary, we will make a concerted effort to interview as many members of the Cardigan family as possible. The richness of our community is illuminated through

The Cardigan Way / 3

Our MissionCardigan Mountain School offers a close-knit community that prepares middle school boys—in mind, body, and spirit—for responsible and meaningful lives in a global society.To achieve our mission, we reward effort and accomplishment, helping each boy realize his academic, physical, and personal potential through the integration of the following core values in all aspects of daily life.

COMPASSIONWe cherish the quality of kindness, asking each member of our community to “love thy neighbor as thyself,” and we embrace the importance of service for the greater good.

HONESTYWe expect rigorous honesty in all dealings.

RESPECTWe teach respect for all individuals, embracing an appreciation for diverse perspectives.

INTEGRITYWe cultivate personal integrity, underscoring our commitment to “doing the right thing,” through community discussion, public example, and role modeling.

SCHOLARSHIPWe instill a love of learning and promote intellectual curiosity and growth, recognizing that each person learns differently.

FAIRNESSWe believe that all people deserve the opportunity to grow and develop, succeed and fail, in a safe environment that values intent, effort, and accomplishment, free from bias and prejudice.

the multiple generations of families and the countless special roles that so many individuals have played over the years. Indeed, every member of the Cardigan family has, in one way or another, contributed to the School as it exists today.

Last summer, Steff and I traveled overseas to meet with our alumni, students, and families in Shanghai, Beijing, and Seoul. And just three days before our departure, we had attended Cardigan’s annual reception on Cape Cod. Thus, over the course of about eight days in late July and early August, we had the good fortune to visit with more than 200 members of the Cardigan family. And while different conversations naturally included different details depending on whether one was an alumnus of the School in the 1950s, the parent of an incoming student, a former director of admission, and so on, the main themes were essentially the same.

People want to be part of something larger than themselves, part of a community that represents honorable values, that is dynamic and relevant, and that is doing good work in the lives of its constituents and on behalf of our global society. When there are sometimes conflicting and unhealthy messages, especially directed at young men, about personal qualities and characteristics that are prized by popular culture, Cardigan represents time-honored and universal values to which all people can subscribe and which continue to serve us well on The Point. At a reception in Shanghai, I commented on the size of our school as a great strength, and yet noted our considerable leverage and expanding reach. While Cardigan educates about 210 young men every year, at that particular moment, Cardigan, in one capacity or another, was being represented on every continent except Antarctica.

During a recent summer visit with Cardigan’s former Headmaster Chip Dewar and his wife, Janet, Steff and I were pleased to provide these two special members of the Cardigan community with an update on the School today. The Dewars had provided outstanding leadership in this community over the course of 15 years (1989-2005), and the four of us enjoyed reminiscing about Cardigan during their time on The Point. As we swapped stories, it became abundantly clear that, while many of the details were different, once again, the enduring themes were the same.

And they continue to resonate: Whether you were a part of this school in its earliest days or more recently, hail from New England or California or South Korea, attended our school as a student, or are the proud parents of an alumnus, we all share more in common than whatever makes us different. For those associated with Cardigan Mountain School, we believe in the importance of the Cardigan mission and an education “that prepares middle school boys—in mind, body, and spirit—for responsible and meaningful lives in a global society.”

Cardigan’s future is bright. Our school has been extremely fortunate in recent years, and we have made real progress toward our goal of being the finest middle school for boys in the world. Our greatest strength over the years, today, and in the years ahead will be the people in this community who believe in what this school does and who are willing and able to support it, in one way or another.

Steff and I often talk about our relationship to the Cardigan family. We cherish the various roles we have played over many years. Today, we are stewards and faithful servants of Cardigan Mountain School, honorable and joyous roles that we’re fortunate to play. As we contemplate Cardigan’s future, we’re grateful for the many enduring relationships that will continue to strengthen our community.

Editor’s Note: Students and visitors to Cardigan Mountain School alike may meet our alumni director, Richard Clancy ’67, pass by the Clancy House (just down the hill from the chapel and across Back Bay Road), or enjoy some winter fun at the Clancy Hill rope tow, without knowing that the Clancy family’s relationship to the School and its students began during the very first year of its operation in 1946. We took some time recently to talk with Mr. Clancy about his family history here on The Point and the kinds of relationships that were nurtured by his parents, Dick and Nellie Clancy.

When Cardigan Mountain School first opened its doors to students in 1946 (at “the Lodge” on Canaan Street at the time), the faculty and staff could be counted on two hands. Among them was Richard J. Clancy, the School’s first chef. “He was the first staff member . . . the first employee, really,” explained his youngest son, also Richard, Cardigan’s current director of alumni programs.

In truth, his father was much more than a chef, according to the younger Clancy. “Primarily [my father] was hired as the chef, but because the staff was so lean and mean—with a handful of people trying to do everything—he was the chef, at times the maintenance guy, the bus driver, and maybe even the school nurse. He did a little bit of everything.” The School’s written history mentions Clancy up on the roof nailing on shingles during a rainy opening day, after buckets had been placed on the floor of the Lodge to catch the rain. “He was easygoing and dedicated to the School,” remembered his son, “so he would do pretty much anything that needed to be done.”

Sixty Years of Clancy at Cardigan . . .

. . . and Counting!

While his parents had a head start by six years, Director of Alumni Programs Richard Clancy ’67 (inset left) marks his 60th year at Cardigan on November 10 , 2012—having been born and raised on the CMS campus. Not straying too far from home here on The Point, “Clancy,” as he likes to be called, has served the School in various roles since his graduation in 1967. He was its art teacher in the 1970s, helped found the Alumni Association in the 80s, has not missed the Alumni Tie Ceremony at Commencement since it began, and took on the role of nurturing and maintaining alumni relationships in the fall of 2010.

Fortunately for the elder Clancy, he had a partner in keeping Cardigan boys healthy (and dry): his wife, Nellie. Mrs. Clancy was primarily the baker, but she also did the record keeping for the kitchen team. The CMS archives contain the very first menus of school meals, in Mrs. Clancy’s perfect penmanship.

Mr. and Mrs. Clancy had an “open kitchen policy,” their son explained, from the very beginning of their time at the Lodge. Cardigan boys always knew there was somewhere to turn if they needed help, or just a friendly ear. The Clancys understood that some boys needed some extra attention, primarily the boys who were homesick or had never been away from home. “[My dad] was very good at being able to detect who those boys were, and would go out of his way to make

their Cardigan experiences good right off the bat —he knew the power of an extra piece of cake at the right time, and he knew that there was some power in the connection of the kitchen and to the food that the kids liked. He sort of adopted the ones that needed a friend, and those were the ones who would remember him years later.” Mrs. Clancy also knew how to show a little extra love, particularly through her cookies and brownies, and she got a lot of love in return.

In those days, just as today at Cardigan, all the boys had student jobs to help with the upkeep of the School. “In my dad’s day,” Clancy explained, “the jobs in the kitchen were coveted jobs. The boys enjoyed my dad and they enjoyed working around him.” One such boy, a member of the very first graduating class of the School (1947), was famed criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey. In Bailey’s autobiography, For the Defense, he mentioned his time at

Cardigan with fondness. “The small staff, most of whom were married couples, was involved in a labor of love. And it rubbed off on all of us, like the contagion of laughter as we pitched in to serve—and even prepare—meals, mend the cranky old furnaces, and keep the buildings and grounds in something like repair.”

As fate would have it, young Lee Bailey was first introduced to “men behind bars” while working for the elder Mr. Clancy, who had previously been a cook at the Vermont State Prison. Clancy would occasionally allow Bailey to tag along with him when he visited the prison kitchen during school vacations, and would share stories of the prisoners with the boy.

In Bailey’s words, “Among the many things [Clancy] taught me was a glimmer of what it must have felt like to live your life out behind bars for a moment’s error in judgment—or the almost unimaginable anguish of spending even a day in prison for a crime you did not commit.”

Lee loved working in the kitchen. In a biography of F. Lee Bailey, author Les Whitten wrote that “Clancy treated [Lee] as a valued aid and younger

brother. Clancy said Lee chose the kitchen because he was ‘smart enough to know where he could get the best food.’ But it went much deeper. Bailey, speaking of Clancy 20 years later, talked of him as a wise older friend, a confidant, a needed strength.”

And Clancy provided the same to many other students throughout his 31 years as Cardigan’s chef. His son talks regularly with Cardigan alumni about their memories of his father.

“It’s interesting to see my dad’s influence on so many boys. A lot of it had to do with mentoring, and a lot of it had to do with a particular meal that they liked, and through it all was his personality. He liked to joke around with the boys. They would always know he was doing it out of love and care for them, and they loved him for that.”

Lee Bailey and his partner, Deborah Elliott (shown here with Richard Clancy ’67 ), paid

a visit to the Cardigan campus this spring.

Here at Cardigan we call ourselves a “community of brothers,” and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Big Brother program, the genesis of which came from a ninth-grade Leadership project several years ago. The assignment was to generate and present an idea for enhancing an aspect of Cardigan life. Responding to this assignment, one of my students said, “It’s hard coming in as a new student. We should do something to help new kids adjust more easily to the Cardigan lifestyle—maybe pair them with an older student, a ‘big brother’ of sorts, whom they could turn to when they had questions about how things work or how to handle certain situations.”

Based in large part on this boy’s project team idea, in the fall of 2009 we asked for returning eighth- and ninth-grade students to volunteer to serve as “big brother/mentor” types for new or younger students. The program was purely voluntary, and we had approximately 20 big/little brother pairs. The group got together for an occasional pizza dinner and an activity like Wiffle Ball or kickball. The next year the program grew in numbers somewhat, and while faculty members were also recommending certain

new or younger students as candidates for whom a “big brother” might be a helpful social-emotional resource, I did not think the program was having the impact it could in helping our new students feel a “connection” to Cardigan. I also thought the program represented a viable leadership opportunity for ninth graders not already holding a title, and so I wanted to encourage greater participation from them.

Consequently, last fall we decided to form small Big Brother groups, whereby one or two returning ninth graders who volunteered and did not already hold leadership positions would mentor groups of five or six new students. Recent graduate Cole Brennan ’12, then a ninth grader, was the student appointed to help organize and manage the program, and he was excellent in making announcements, reminding big brothers of their duties, and keeping things running smoothly. Moreover, the response from our ninth-grade boys was tremendous—we were able to include as group leaders anyone who had volunteered—so due to ninth-grade interest, most groups of five or six new boys had co-leaders. From here we configured four larger groups, each

totaling 32 boys. These groups had regular lunch meetings in the Wakely lobby, where they met four to five times over the course of the year to reconnect with the boys in their Big Brother group and participate in a team-building game, both with their own group of about eight and with the larger body of 32.

Though we did not participate as Big Brother groups in community service (a hope of mine at the outset of the year), these regular lunches not only provided new students with a viable avenue to both connect with other new boys from potentially other grades, classes, and dorms, but also gave them access to a couple of “big brothers” who could answer questions and contribute to the sense of brotherhood that Cardigan tries to foster. Proof positive that some of these boys have felt part of a larger family were the speeches for school leader last May, in which three school leader candidates referred to being part of a family and referred to their peers as brothers. The “big brothers,” too, had the opportunity to get to know new boys whom they may never have otherwise known. They also attained valuable leadership experience, facilitating lunch discussions and serving as role models for how we do things at Cardigan.

Mr. Avery Scoville is now serving as the Big Brother faculty sponsor. At the final Big Brother event of 2011–2012—a lunch barbecue for the entire program—Mr. Scoville began recruiting rising ninth graders from among the little brothers who did not have elected leadership positions for the 2012-2013 school year. Areas in which the program might grow include offering in-depth mentoring training for the ninth-grade “big brothers,” providing some community service offerings for smaller groups of big brothers, and perhaps even initiating an off-campus trip or experience. Based on the overwhelming interest of current ninth graders to serve new boys as “big brothers,” the program continues to achieve its mission of helping create connections among new and returning students, while also providing a viable leadership opportunity for returning boys.

A little Summer Session history . . . You might be surprised to know that Cardigan has had a summer program in place since 1951—just six years after its founding. Referred to as the “summer school and camp,” its first years saw steady enrollment increases from five students the first year to 20 boys in 1954.

Cardigan first admitted girls to its summer school program in 1963, as day students only. It was, interestingly, the summer of 1969 that first saw girls admitted to Summer Session as boarding students.

The Grace

of Summerby Robert Grabill

Director of Spiritual Life and Associate Director of Summer Programs

Grace Wynter in 2011.

It’s fairly common to find loyalty, fond memories, and lifelong friendships resulting from time spent as a student at Cardigan. Actually, it’s what we expect, and what CMS does exceptionally well. However, it might not occur to most members of the Cardigan community—at least at first—to hear all of those positive outcomes being described by a five-year veteran of CMS who happens to be a young woman.

For most of the year, Cardigan is very much a “boy place.” But the long tradition of coeducation during the Summer Session has produced a number of dedicated alumnae who can demonstrate that Cardigan’s power to form strong and healthy relationships is very much at work among both girls and boys during the summer months.

Grace Wynter is 14 years old and entering her freshman year at New Rochelle High School in New York State. She does so with the confidence to make new friends and try new things, a confidence that was nurtured and greatly expanded by her Cardigan Summer Session experience.

“I was nervous when I came here,” said Wynter, who began her CMS career as a nine-year-old who knew only one other student—an older boy who was a neighbor of hers from home. “I was so happy about how easy it was to make friends. Cardigan is the only place that I have ever made friends by hunting down shoes on a giant field, bonded with people while figuring out how to build a human pyramid that stays up, or met new people while, say, creating a summer yearbook.”

Grace has done more than work on the Summer Session yearbook. For the past three years, she has been the editor of the [summer] Chronicle, but has also participated regularly in the drama program. “I learned so many new things at Cardigan,” she commented. “I really got my start in drama at Cardigan, and I also learned so much about creative writing. I love to write, and being here

helped me get started with stories that I would continue throughout the year.”

In the end, it is the friendships that have meant the most to Grace. “I made friends during my first few years who have continued to be among my best friends today. We stay in touch all year long, and my mother even let me get a Facebook account so I could be in contact with the friends I made from all over the world: Venezuela, Hong Kong, and all over the United States. And we have actually had reunions in New York!”

Grace has already given back to Cardigan in a number of ways, having been recognized as a leader in both activities and dorm life. This past summer, she was one of a few students honored to be chosen as a dorm leader, living with younger students. “I’d love to come back as a teacher at Cardigan, or a CIT (counselor-in-training) if they ever decide to have a program like that.”

Grace’s connections have been equally strong with Summer Session faculty. “I had so many good teachers and role models here. Mrs. Hannis was my dorm parent my first year, and she made me feel so welcome. Ms. Markham was my advisor, and she has taught me so much. They have been a real inspiration, and I want to stay in touch with them.”

An Equally Grateful Mentor Responds

“From the moment I met Chris, I knew he was a very unique young man. He was determined to be

the best scholar-athlete he could be, and that focus at a young age is not typical. Because of that, I knew that Cardigan Mountain School could be a great fit for Chris, and it was. I was fortunate enough that he chose to have a Cardigan experience as it was (and still is!) a pleasure to be associated with him.

The most rewarding component of my relationship with Chris (and all the Cardigan “boys” I worked with) is to see how successful they are in their personal lives today. Cardigan certainly provided the springboard.”

–Andy Noel, October 2012

Chris Taliercio ’95 concluded early on that if he was serious about joining the hockey ranks of guys like New York Rangers Mike Richter and Brian Leetch on the ice someday, he was going to need to attend just the right schools to get him there.

This, he decided, at age 11.“I was in the sixth grade, and my mom kept getting calls from prep school admissions offices, asking ‘Where’s your son’s application?’” This revealed that young Chris had pulled a boarding school directory from the library stacks and had been writing letters to admissions directors to get help in charting his course to hockey greatness.

Though professional hockey didn’t ultimately wind up being Taliercio’s career choice, this strong trait of determination took the youngster from Farmingdale, New Jersey, to an outstanding Cardigan experience, and then on to the same at St. Paul’s School and Dartmouth College, and now to success as a financier in New York City.

And the man who brought this talented young man to The Point? Andy Noel.

“If there was anybody my parents would let me go with—all the way to New Hampshire—it was a guy like Andy.”

Chris and his parents had known Andy Noel for about three years, through the Elite Hockey Camps that Chris had attended. When Chris asked (then Coach) Noel if he thought it was a good idea for him to go to boarding school, Noel immediately suggested Cardigan Mountain School—where Noel himself coached varsity hockey during the academic year.

“Andy was the main reason I went there [to Cardigan],” he recalled.“He was the hardest worker I had ever known, and he put together a great team.” What Chris wouldn’t realize until years later was that Andy’s encouragement to go to CMS was more than an opportunity to get better at hockey. According to Taliercio today, “It set the ball in motion for everything else that came after.”

Chris was not challenged enough at school back home in New Jersey. “I was a ‘B’ student because I didn’t have to work.” With the opportunities presented at

Cardigan—and the work ethic modeled for him by Coach Noel—that all changed for Chris. He decided to attack his schoolwork, to prove to himself that he could earn the grades that would take him anywhere he wanted to go.

“Cardigan was an incredible time in my life. It instilled the structure and discipline that made everything after Cardigan seem easy.”

It wasn’t just Chris who recognized what an important opportunity Andy Noel brought to his life through the connection to Cardigan. “My mom…” Chris explained, “she has this quality: She never forgets anything or anybody.”

Katherine Yack, Chris’s mother, remembered a connection between Andy and Bowdoin College when she was planning travel to Maine,

and she looked him up. Andy was, at that point (and continues to be), an admissions officer at the Choate Rosemary Hall School in Connecticut; her search was successful. She immediately emailed him to thank him for his influence on her son, and to fill him in on Chris’s successes—including his recent marriage to Chelsea.

“Chris would not be the man he is today without your encouragement and coaching,” she told Noel.

Andy wrote right back, and that’s when Chris’s family discovered that Noel had been battling cancer. “That news was like a punch in the gut for me,” said Chris, who then wrote to his mentor to echo the gratitude his mom had expressed. “I let him know that I thank him for everything I have today.”

Andy Noel visited the CMS campus in early October (shown here speaking with ninth grader Kastan Day) on behalf of Choate Admissions to participate in one of four secondary school placement fairs sponsored by our Placement Office.

Like many Cardigan boys, Reagan first arrived on The Point as a Summer

Session student. It was June of 1995, and because of the overlapping schedule of a camp he was attending back home, he arrived three days after the Cardigan summer program had begun.

The dorm parent, on what was to be Reagan’s floor, was former faculty member Phil Blood, who happened to be off duty that day. After arriving that evening with his parents, Rex (former member of the Cardigan Board of Trustees) and Sharon, Reagan had to say goodbye and join the scheduled activity for the evening—Study Hall.

This was all a bit too much for a 12-year-old guy—so far from his Dallas, Texas, home.“I’m sobbing at this point,” remembers Reagan, “and [Mr. Blood] pulled me out of study hall and took me for a walk around the campus and back to the dorm. He said ‘You’ll be okay; you’ll get through.’” All this, he adds, on the man’s day off! “I realized something about this place at that point, that people really cared about me.” And Mr. Blood was right, of course, about Reagan getting through—perhaps even more than he

The Guys Who Make a Difference

For 1998 CMS graduate Reagan Jobe, people like Randy Macdonald and Phil Blood . . . “Those are the guys who make a difference, who make connections.”

Relationships

“That’s what a boarding school is . . . a relationship place.”—Reagan Jobe ’98

knows. To hear Reagan tell it, Cardigan, and boarding school in general, “saved his life.” He gained confidence through learning how to be an effective learner, and by the nurturing concern that was expressed toward him at the School.

“That’s what a boarding school is . . . a relationship place.”

When the academic year started after that first summer, Reagan landed on Randy Macdonald’s dorm floor. In the first few weeks, Reagan remembers, there was friction between him and his roommate that came to a head one night when Mr. Macdonald stopped in on his nightly rounds. “I lost it,” remembered Jobe; “I chewed [Mr. Macdonald] out. I was 13 years old, and it was totally inappropriate.” Mr. Macdonald “gave it right back,” Jobe recalled, but ended with “I’m glad we got that over with.” Rather than make the conflict worse, he reported, “I knew we were going to be okay. I needed to learn a lesson, and in turn it taught me how to stand up for myself and work things out, although I may not have handled that situation the right way.”For Reagan, in all his life, there has been no one quite like Randy

Macdonald. “Every morning at 6:00, he got us all up,” he recalled. “He knocked on every door, and always made sure everybody was up before he went back to get himself ready. There’s no one out there like that, but that was Randy. He always cared.”

Another of the ways Mr. Macdonald acted on his caring spirit—and modeled compassion to Cardigan students—was, and continues to be, through service to David’s House in Lebanon, N.H., a home-away-from-home for families with children receiving treatment at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Mr. Macdonald has been volunteering there for many years, offering support and providing home-cooked meals—many that have been prepared in Cardigan’s Hayward Hall kitchen with the help of students—to the families there.

Watching his Cardigan mentor “walk the walk” of compassion was incredibly inspiring to Reagan, who, along with his wife, volunteers every week at the Ronald McDonald House in Dallas, Texas. “That’s what he taught me,” he explains, “that you’re supposed to just do it, and be grateful that you’re healthy.”

It was the spring of my senior year at Cardigan, and I was the pitcher and co-captain of the baseball team along with my classmate Tony DeBoise. I had pitched a game the previous day and we were gearing up for another. I really wanted to pitch, but Mr. Marrion—being more concerned with the future health of my arm—started someone else. I tried to argue my point with the coach, but, you know, when Mr. Marrion is right, he’s right! Anyway . . . the other pitcher didn’t fare so well on this particular day, so Mr. Marrion called me in from the outfield to pitch. I was thrilled! We had about six innings left in the game, and I ended up finishing the game on the mound.

To be honest, I can’t remember whether we won or lost the game, but what I do remember is that I was pretty sore for a while, and that from that day on I had a new nickname. My determination and apparent stamina inspired Coach Marrion to coin for me the handle “Iron Arm.” I’ve always thought that was a funny term, but now that I’m older and plagued by arthritis, I think he may have called it just right. Every time I try to throw a ball with my son now, I remember “Iron Arm . . .” and then head for the Tylenol! He knew just what he was talking about when he advised me to rest my arm between games.

I learned a valuable lesson when I challenged Mr. Marrion’s wisdom that time on the baseball diamond, but it wasn’t the only thing I needed to learn from him. Mr. Marrion was a stern, direct, and (in my mind)

a righteous man, and his high regard mattered very much to me. I, like other kids my age, managed to create—and get into—my share of trouble. Mr. Marrion was always there to straighten me out and get me back in focus and onto the right path. I once had the unfortunate “opportunity” to have a “meeting” with Mr. Marrion and Mr. Collins (the assistant headmaster at the time). I’ve never felt so awful and so remorseful; it

felt as if I had let my own father down!

It wasn’t until later in life that I realized just what a lucky and fortunate kid I was. Not only did I have wonderful, caring parents at home, but another set of wonderful, caring, individuals at Cardigan. Mr. and Mrs. Marrion are two people like that, they really care! That seems so very rare nowadays!

Jim Marrion is a man who was, and still is, forty years later, in my heart. His mentoring influence has molded a huge portion of my soul; he taught me to be a winner in whatever I attempt in life, and he gave me a second chance when I needed it. I want him to know that he’s inspired me, and so many others, to succeed and excel—not only at Cardigan but in all aspects of their lives. I’m so envious of his family, to have had a man like him around 24/7; what a privilege, and I consider myself a lucky man to have shared a portion of my life with him.

Thank you, Coach Marrion, and to your whole family as well.

Cardigan has long had a terrific hockey program, and owes quite a lot to its on-ice traditions. Two enduring legacies of this Cardigan hockey history trace their origins to one man: alumnus, former faculty member and coach, and stalwart CMS supporter Schuyler Peck ’63. We sat down with Schuyler this summer at his home on Cape Cod to ask him about the important relationships he has nurtured on behalf of the School—relationships with the town of Hyvinkää, Finland, and with current Headmaster David McCusker ’80.

CMS: Tell us about your relationship to Cardigan Mountain School.

Schuyler: I went to Cardigan in the summer of 1962 and spent my eighth- and ninth-grade years there. Norman Wakely was headmaster, and his wife, Beverly, taught reading—which was something I needed help with at the time. I remember that she was pregnant with [the Wakely’s second son] Jonathan, and I would go up to their house three times each week for tutoring in their kitchen. My parents were concerned about me, wanting me to do well in school at that point in my life, and it was really comforting for them to hear Mr. Wakely tell them, “Your son’s going to be fine, don’t worry.” But it definitely took some work, and I couldn’t have done it without Mrs. Wakely.

Just after college—Penny and I had just gotten married—I took her up to see Cardigan. My plan had been to go to work for Sears and Roebuck, but one conversation with Norm Wakely changed that plan. He took me into his office and said, “I want you to think

about becoming a teacher. I know you’d be good at it.” I couldn’t resist the offer, and even though I was probably more of a jock than anything else then, I really wanted to be a good teacher. So, in 1970 Penny and I moved into the ground floor of French Hall, and I joined the faculty.

CMS: You were also a hockey coach, right?

Schuyler: Besides teaching history, I had two main responsibilities when I got here: coach football, hockey, and tennis and run the dining hall. Bruce Marshard [CMS Class of 1964] came on as head coach in 1972, and I was his assistant. Bruce really laid the foundation of the hockey program as it is today, because he brought in the first Boston-area school kids. We used to go down to the rinks around Boston and talk to seventh- and eighth-grade players. Bruce left after two years and I took over.

CMS: That’s how you met Dave McCusker, right?

Relationships That Have Carried On A Conversation with Schuyler Peck ’63

Brooke, Chad, and Sam) at their home in Massachusetts.


Schuyler: That’s right. We weren’t looking for Dave McCusker, but we were down in Saugus—which was a hockey town—watching a game. He was small, I remember, but phenomenal. So I asked the Zamboni driver, “Who is that playing center? Is his mom here?” I went right up into the stands and introduced myself to [Mrs. McCusker], and she looked at me like I was out of my mind. I saw his father, too, and made a couple trips back down there to get young David here [to Cardigan].

CMS: We want you to talk more about the connection to Dave, but first tell us about your part in the Cardigan hockey relationship with Finland.

Schuyler: That got started through my connection to Paul King, who coached a Bantam level team in the Boston area. He wanted to take some players over to Helsinki to play in this prestigious tournament—the Pastoral Cup—and I got the School on board with taking the Cardigan guys over in the winter of 1976. The plan was to stay in this town called Hyvinkää, about an hour north of Helsinki, and play some games. There were 20 kids on the trip; Penny came along—pregnant at the time—as well as Norm Wakely and two of the (college-aged) Wakely kids: Charles and Mary.

When we arrived in town, we were taken to the local schoolhouse, where a sort of makeshift dormitory had been made in an auditorium. Then we learned that no real game arrangements had been made. It was a pretty disappointing arrival, but along came Rita Harkoma Laine, the woman who ran the local newspaper. She was interested in why we were there and

invited me over to talk about how she could help with the situation. With Rita’s help, by the second night we had homestays, a game and practice schedule, and a dinner party was hosted at her home. That’s how the Finnish Exchange Program at Cardigan got its start, and it was the relationship with Rita that made the whole thing work.

CMS: And Dave McCusker fits in to the Finland story, too, right?

Schuyler: Dave joined me on the Finland trip as a Cardigan student in 1980, and then he came along on another trip when he was a student at St. Paul’s School in 1982. We had a really great group of guys for that trip: Rick DellaRusso (’82), Ed Krayer (’82), Dave (McCusker ’80), Kevin Powers (’82), Mike Kinnaly (’81), Ron Hill (’81). . . that group even played some games in Leningrad on a side trip.

Penny and I were dorm parents in Greenwood House in [Dave’s] eighth-grade year, and Dave was a regular visitor to Greenwood—he became like part of our family. Even after he moved on to St. Paul’s, Penny would go down there sometimes and take [Dave] and Kevin [Powers] out to lunch. At St. Paul’s, and then at Dartmouth, Dave distinguished himself through it all.

CMS: Did you ever imagine he would become Cardigan’s headmaster?

Schuyler: David McCusker is an amazing man. When he was appointed headmaster [nearly six years ago], Penny and I went up to the installation. We hadn’t seen his parents since 1980, and we were sitting right behind them in the front of the chapel. I leaned forward to say to Dave’s mom, “You probably don’t know who I am . . ” And before I could finish, she looked at me and said, “You’re the reason my son is up there.” That was amazing!

As has been the case for many years since Schuyler’s inaugural trip, the Cardigan Mountain School Varsity Hockey team traveled once again to Hyvinkää, Finland, last March, carrying on a friendship cultivated over more than three decades.

On The PointCMS Science Teachers Auerbach and Oliver Honored for Excellence in Teaming

Congratulations go out to two Cardigan science educators for being awarded a 2012 “Teams That Make a Difference Award” from the Association of Middle Level Educators (AMLE). Science teacher Heather Oliver and Science Department Chair David Auerbach P’11 were honored for their teaming work to create and sustain the Living Laboratory that “inhabits” the Bronfman Hall science area.

A question was once asked of our science department, “How can you

teach life science without having life in the classroom?” We responded with The Living Laboratory. Our vision was to create a program that was student centered and would promote life in our entire school. Along with lessons about life, we want to foster the notion that we should respect living things and grow in our students a life-long appreciation for all creatures large and small. The Living Laboratory is all that and more.

The Living Laboratory is a multi-faceted, experiential life science program designed for seventh-grade

students. The program encompasses many curricular areas and reinforces our students’ sense of responsibility and pride while helping them learn about plant and animal life. The placement of terrariums in the classroom is not a new idea; however, the scope and scale of this project gives it a new and unique twist. It provides students with an exciting learning experience. We use the terraria to provide departure points for written exercises and to engage students in mathematical activities associated with setting up, maintaining, and

collecting data about each of their “little worlds.” We have replaced dissections with a larger, more robust program that promotes life in the laboratory and maintains student interest throughout the school year. This project enables our students to link the cognitive and affective domains through the use of authentic tasks and realistic problems posed by the maintenance and nurturing of terrariums and the

animals within. Each student will be able to: set up and maintain a small ecosystem, prepare documents describing the living organisms and their living requirements, in addition to logging data about their ecosystem’s environment on a daily basis.

Every teacher complains that his or her daily schedule is busy, but life at an all-boys junior boarding school like Cardigan can be especially busy. We serve all kinds of students and have seen firsthand how important and powerful hands-on experiences are for all of our boys. The teachers at Cardigan are much attuned to the needs of our students, as we are with them from the moment they wake up until the moment they wake up (no pun intended)—we are dorm parents, coaches, advisors, club sponsors, activity monitors, teachers, and more. Our Living Laboratory team does not rely on regular meetings with agendas and goals. Instead, we have meetings on the fly, with our heads in the terrariums, or briefly between classes while students pass in the hall, or at other opportune times. One such time occurred when

we recently shared the driving on a field trip to a local bog as part of our Clubs Program. The Living Laboratory would not be possible without the combined efforts of our team. We bring different strengths and knowledge to the table—or to the terrarium, as it were—to tackle any problem that arises.

From the very first day of operation, The Living Laboratory program was a success. The program reinforces our students’ sense of responsibility and pride, while helping them learn about plant and animal life. It provides students with an exciting learning experience. Working in small teams, students set up and maintain mini-ecosystems that may contain plants, mammals, insects, fish, crustaceans, reptiles, or amphibians. We even have a parrot!

We are currently on our third student cycle for the program and are constantly coming up with ways to make The Living Laboratory run more smoothly. Assigning the boys to specific terrariums, cages, and tanks takes a bit of maneuvering. During the first week of school the boys are given a tour of The Living Laboratory with descriptions of how friendly/

playful each animal is and how much care and maintenance is required. Each boy then fills out a form requesting an animal and describes why he is interested in that particular one. Our classes are small, so we have the luxury of making sure that boys in one class do not have adjacent terrariums.This makes it easier for the boys to provide care and cleaning without getting in the way of another classmate. Each year we add more elements to give the boys choices in redesigning their habitats. We have also developed plans to keep the animals healthy and well cared for during emergencies.

The boys are used to having responsibility, and making sure they maintain a clean and healthy environment for their animal(s) is an easy task for most of them. Each terrarium team is composed of two students, and they take their jobs very seriously. Cardigan is a school where all of the boys are required to have campus jobs such as classroom cleaners, waiting a table in the dining hall, or working in the dish room. These jobs are in addition to daily chores in their dorms and dorm rooms. The Living Laboratory

Cardigan Teachers Hannis and Holt Chosen to “Go Global” for IBSC

Like Tom Petty’s famous song states, “The waiting is the hardest part.” In early November 2011, we filed an application to present at the International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC) 2012 Conference in Melbourne, Australia. We spent the following two weeks wondering if we would be chosen. After a month’s time and the first deadline for workshop presenters passed, we almost forgot that we had ever applied to present.

Then, during the second week of February, we received word via email congratulating us for being selected as presenters at the conference. We were elated, excited—and extremely nervous. Before February, it was all just a dream to present at the conference. We had submitted our proposal thinking the chances of being selected were slim. Like Colin Hay sings in the Men at Work song, “I worry over situations I know will be all right.” We were afraid the session would be plagued with boredom and a lack of attendees, and so we spent the next few months preparing our presentation. Plane tickets and hotel rooms were booked in preparation for the trip “Down Under.” We also submitted conference registration in order to ensure that we would be able to present.

Finally, after months of waiting, July arrived, and off to Melbourne, Australia, we traveled. Who knew it

was possible to stay entertained on a plane for 14 hours straight? We felt like rats trapped in a giant vacuum. (However, we enjoyed the opportunity to watch several fantastic movies on the flight.)

Once there, after adjusting to the climate change and time difference, we ventured out into the city for a day of sightseeing. Melbourne is a fantastic little city with plenty to do, see, and eat. Holt frequented Walker’s Donuts daily prior to boarding the train to the school where the conference was being held. Who knew a donut could taste that good?

On Tuesday afternoon, July 10, we presented our workshop entitled “Making Curricular Changes in the 21st Century Technoverse.” The presentation went really well and was thus conducive to engaging the attendees in a lively discussion of what changes need to happen at schools around the globe—and how to go about making those necessary changes. If you want to know more, please feel free to check out the blog we created for the session: http://ibsctechnoverse.blogspot.com/. The conference and trip were a huge success and allowed us to cross something off of our bucket lists: Visiting Australia.

program reinforces their sense of purpose and includes student-designed experiments that are performed to help them understand the needs of their animals (animals are not harmed). The students examine environmental variables, including food, shelter, plants, substrates, and light, among others. The program is in its third

year and the science hallway has become a popular gathering place for inquisitive students, faculty children, and visitors to our school.

Students are always congregated around the display. Some are caring for their animals, while others are interested in getting a peek at one of the more elusive critters. It is very gratifying to see our eighth-grade students helping the current seventh-grade students manage the terrariums they had in the previous year. This has developed partnerships as well as a source of pride when older students commend younger students for their skills in maintaining their environments. We now have students in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades who have participated in The Living Laboratory. Sixth graders are already queuing up to choose the animal(s) they want to care for next year!

Palpable excitement filled the air, as more than a third of Cardigan’s

student body headed to the gymnasium in the Kenerson building to set up their Gates Open House on a Friday morning

in early May. And visitors to the science fair–type setup (parents and grandparents, trustees, fellow students, and, of course, judges!)were not far behind. Shortly after 9:00 a.m., the place was abuzz with activity, as the students demonstrated their inventions and innovations to each passerby who

was willing to stop, watch, listen—and perhaps even accept a business card or brochure from the eager innovators.

The Charles C. Gates Invention & Innovation Competition marks the culmination of the Gates Program curriculum each year. Students taking “Gates” last year, its fifth year at Cardigan, included all sixth and seventh graders, as well as, for the first time, eighth graders who wished to try their hand at the competition; marking an encouraging trend, about 25 percent of the grade did decide to give up two of their daytime study halls to take advantage of this unique opportunity! Gates students are charged with identifying a specific problem in the real world and coming up with a “functioning innovation or invention to solve [that] problem.” Whether individually or as a small team, students design and build their invention or innovation with the guidance of current Gates Program Director Mr. Rhett Yelton.

Other standards to which students must adhere when entering this competition include the invention’s being “portable, self-contained, and able to operate independently of other supplementary

equipment. Each entry must include an entry form, inventor’s log,

marketability statement, model, and final presentation.”

Along the way, certainly other incredibly valuable skills are learned and contribute to the final impression: Learning to

prepare a presentation is just one of many facets of

the Gates Program. Teamwork is another. And creativity and hands-

on productivity are still two others. And needless to say, the list goes on (organization, planning, design, technology, etc.!). Perhaps we should add “perseverance” too!

Last year nearly 43 teams of students created an invention or innovation. When strolling through the “open house” on Friday, one was inevitably greeted at nearly every stop with a handshake, a sales pitch, a demonstration, student-produced videos and commercials, glimpses of student-created web sites, “business cards,” brochures and flyers, and, on occasion, even product trading cards! The creativity was significant, the use of imagination obvious. These boys were thinking “outside the box” and clearly enjoying every minute of it.

After working their way through each and every project, the judges were dined in the then-new Charles C. Gates Innovation in Design, Engineering, and the Arts (I.D.E.A.) Shop, where they were joined by Mr. Yelton, Headmaster and Mrs. McCusker, former Gates coaches Mr. Holt and Mr. Auerbach, Ms. Ledoux from Development, and Cardigan Trustee Ms. Diane Wallach, daughter of “Charlie” Gates after whom the program is named; the Gates Program’s existence (and success!) here on The Point can be very much attributed to her help with the Gates Frontiers Fund.

On to Saturday!From Friday’s large group of entries emerged six finalist teams who would give their official final presentations on Saturday morning to the amazing panel of judges (all three of whom were veterans of judging this competition—and clearly eager to make this a truly educational experience for those presenting), as well as to an audience of parents, grandparents, and other students.The presenters knew that the judges would be charged primarily with considering functionality, creativity, marketability, and clarity of communication.

Prior to the boys’ presentations, Ms. Wallach provided an overview of the program’s history, and each of the judges chimed in, based on his previous experience with the event. One judge, Mr. Dan DeMars P’11, touched on the characteristics that make a good, marketable product, with “simple elegance” being the key. (He gave examples that included the iPhone, the flexible tripod called a Gorillapod, and “as a great gift,” he added, “look into Monster Cable’s ‘Outlets to Go Power

Strip’!”) Mr. Karl Hutter ’92 picked up where Mr. DeMars left off regarding simple elegance and then reminded the boys the intent is not to build a finished product (“It can be easy to become overfocused on prototypes, which, if too complex, can cause you to lose sight of the idea itself,” he said); he urged them to remember that a prototype should attempt to effectively communicate to judges (and investors, etc.) what the key concept is. And finally, Dr. Ron von Jako ’81 pointed out that so often it is the environment in which one is immersed that influences an innovator’s thoughts and ideas; it was evident to him that some of these terrific innovative solutions were answers to problems that were affecting the boys’ own world (of school, sports, and entertainment, for example).

After six terrific presentations, the judges conferred for about a half hour, and then, with the Board of Trustees’ (which had been in meetings nearby) joining everyone in the theater as well, the three announced their decisions. Before they handed out the prizes, they talked about

Taking fourth place was the Advanced Recycling Trash Can, by eighth graders Will Nearis, Paul Kim, and Andy Kim. A sixth-grade squad created the third-place Kord Keeper: Cedric Elkouh, Beckham Bayreuther, and Jonathan Schafer, and a seventh-grade pair—Garrett Plekenpol and Patrick Roth—concocted the Solar Shades Supreme, which garnered second place. And in first place was solo innovator Noah Drummond ’13, with the Easy Slide-on Trucks, a product

the value of this Gates program once again, this time emphasizing the relationship piece that is central to its success and that will continue for a lifetime: While competing with one another, the boys are also helping one another; they are forming lifelong bonds, not to mention that many of their products could easily be marketed in tandem!

In addition to the four winning inventions and innovations (see results in section above), the judges also wished to give mention to three projects that almost made it to Saturday’s final round: The Magnetic Ski Bindings (Michael Hong ’14), the Twin Pack Soda Cans (Elijah Harris ’13 and Jordan Abisch ’13), and the Pen and Pencil Pocket Protector and Holder (Aiden Bourke ’15). Making it to Saturday’s round but needing a few tweaks to be in contention were two terrific seventh-grade inventions: Leif Fosse-Greiner and Blake Wilkey’s “Eco Jacket” and the “Ping-Pong Picker” from Raymond Bai, Jack Wu, and Tommy Mi.

In fourth place: eighth graders Will Nearis, Paul Kim, and Andy Kim (with judges and Mrs. Wallach).

Third-place finishers: sixth graders Cedric Elkouh, Beckham Bayreuther, and Jonathan Schafer.

Second-place winners: seventh graders Garrett Plekenpol and Patrick Roth.

so useful and marketable—and so ready to go to market—that it also garnered the first patent nod for a Cardigan student in the Gates program! (This means Noah will receive assistance in taking his product through the patent process if he so chooses!)But in the end, success came to one and all in that, in addition to some very practical skills learned in the Charles C. Gates I.D.E.A. Shop, these young innovators were able to exercise their imaginations, execute

teamwork, and take the time to simply “tinker” with things in order to attempt to solve an everyday problem! Not much could be better for a boy’s development or for fulfilling the “relevant, engaging, and hands-on” criteria the School strives to meet with all of its program considerations.Congratulations to all of the Gates Program participants!

Keeping Close TiesMembers of Cardigan’s Class of 2012 received their final Cardigan “lessons” on the morning of June 2, 2012. During the traditional Alumni Tie Ceremony, they heard from Mr. Richard Clancy ’67, who shared with them the interesting history behind that special part of their last day on The Point as students, and he underscored the value of their participation in the life of the School, even (and perhaps especially) after they receive their diplomas and become alumni, scattering to their various and varied next stops.

Attitude of Gratitude…and School as FamilyAs the seniors sat on the Commencement stage just an hour later, Headmaster McCusker reminded them of the insightful comments they’d heard from two of their own classmates during the Baccalaureate service a few days prior: Myles Smith had shared with them his feelings of gratitude for

having been presented the opportunity to attend Cardigan, and he had encouraged his classmates to recognize the gift before them and appreciate it as well. In that same service, Hayden Holland had reminded his peers of the importance of attitude. “I strongly believe that attitude, mixed with hard work, determines outcome. Attitude is the key ingredient.”

And so, in his own remarks at Commencement, Mr. McCusker expounded upon these ideas and placed emphasis on the point that we can choose our attitudes. “Each of us has a choice to make about how we want to approach life,” he said, and he encouraged the boys to choose to dive in and be fully engaged in their lives in high school and beyond—just as they have while here on The Point.

Mr. McCusker also shared with them some of his own favorite things about our very full and engaging community life here on The Point—things such as “coming into the dining room in the morning and being part of a community that, without urging, goes

about setting all of the tables”; singing the Cardigan hymn together; going to Polar Bear in the morning where the “spirit…is magical, and I wish we could bottle it”; witnessing the warm-weather after-dinner scene on the Quad—with Frisbees flying and games of catch being played; and certainly “watching you guys express your affection for one another and [seeing] how you support each other.”

The essence of his sentiments emerged most fully when he acknowledged for the boys that “your memories are yours, and they are special for their own reasons. And yet we have lived together in this tight-knit community, which operates more like a family than a school. You may never again be part of a community where you know everyone as well as you do here, or where everyone knows you as well as we do. This may actually come as a welcomed changed for some of you,” he chuckled, “but for most, I suspect, you’ll come to appreciate, more and more, the incredibly close relationships that you formed at Cardigan.”

Dream Big!Delivering to the Class of 2012 the final kernels of wisdom they would receive as students here was Mr. Frederick A. Meyer IV (a.k.a. “Freddy”), Cardigan Class of 1997. Freddy grew up in Sanbornville, New Hampshire, had an older brother (Trevor) who attended Cardigan (Class of 1994), and arrived on The Point as a seventh-grade student, spending three years here, during which he found a good deal of success. He was an “outstanding student, a well-liked and respected campus citizen, and a gifted and enthusiastic athlete,” said Mr. McCusker in his introduction of Freddy. Having been a member of Green Key and inducted into the National Junior Honor Society, Freddy was also elected school leader for his ninth-grade year. In addition, he played soccer, hockey, and baseball at the varsity level.

After Cardigan, Freddy took a less conventional path in order to pursue his passion for hockey. Though he had initially applied to some secondary schools (and had intended to enroll in one), he was invited to a national player development team and decided to go that route instead, after which he enrolled at Boston University. During his time there, he was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie team and in his senior year became a First Team

All-American in hockey and BU’s male athlete of the year. He graduated in 2003 with a bachelor’s in sociology and went on to begin a career as a professional hockey player, spending several years in the NHL with the Philadelphia Flyers, the New York Islanders, and the Atlanta Thrashers. Freddy now lives in Winchester, Massachusetts, with his wife and two small children.

Mr. McCusker also shared some of faculty member Mr. Robbie Barker’s own insights regarding Freddy, as the two gentleman were, in fact, Cardigan classmates: “…[N]atural ability and an obsessive work ethic epitomize the traits portrayed by Freddy Meyer. Along with a true passion for the game of hockey, he was always a first-class citizen, setting a high standard for all who crossed his path and earning the respect of all he encountered. …[He] was a pillar of strength on every team he played for, Article continues on page 32.

and hands down one of the fiercest competitors I’ve ever had the chance to play with or against.”

Freddy’s hockey coach during his Cardigan years, Mr. Andy Noel, had written to Mr. McCusker prior to Commencement to share his thoughts as well: “Freddy was the consummate leader as a person, student, and athlete. At Cardigan he combined a passion for academic excellence and leadership with a love for soccer, hockey, and baseball that was truly unique. On the ice, Freddy possessed special abilities that have since propelled him to reach the pinnacle of the sport (while never once forgetting all that Cardigan Mountain School provided for him). Freddy’s ‘first class’ nature as a person will help him to reach even greater heights long after his playing career is over.”

On The PointCougars Win Lakes Region Tennis Team Championship Title

Cardigan faced a very competitive New Hampton School team (at New Hampton) last spring for a Lakes Region showdown between two top squads—on a perfect day for tennis. (To provide some context to readers who may not be aware: Our Varsity Tennis team plays varsity secondary prep school teams, which means our players often find themselves up against juniors and seniors in high school!)

The School gave the team, coached at the time by Mr. D’Entremont ’94 and Mr. Rocha, a great send-off, and the team arrived at New Hampton early and warmed up well; there was no question that they were ready to play. Quickly, the Cougars took a commanding lead in singles. Later, after fighting through some tough, close singles matches, Cardigan sealed the victory after singles, five matches to one. The team also did well playing doubles, earning two out of three wins. The overall result was 7–2 in favor of Cardigan.

Looking back, the match was just unbelievable! The play of eighth grader Billy Boyle was simply awesome, Pablo Diaz ’12 commanded his match from the start, and Jordan Abisch ’13 demonstrated, with strong groundstrokes and control, that he was by far a superior player than his opponent. Jorge Velasco ’13 dominated the first set, was a bit shaky in the second set, but finished

off his opponent nonetheless. Once the team reached a quick 4–1 lead in singles matches, a crowd soon gathered around the #4 singles match being played by Morgan Himmer ’13. Morgan won the first set in a tie-break and then lost the second, 3-6. Going to a third set tie-break, Morgan went back and forth with his opponent. Down 5-6 in the tie-break and fighting off a match point, Morgan showed resolve. He fought back and won the tie-break, sealing the team win overall, 5–1, before doubles even started. Needless to say, the team stormed the court, and Morgan ended up on someone’s shoulders. Although Leo Tejavibulya ’13 and August Von

Ungern-Sternberg ’12 came up short in their singles matches, they fought hard and represented the School well. Strong doubles play by Billy and Leo, as well as by Kota Ohashi ’12 and James Park ’12, was icing on the cake, as both the #1 and #3 doubles teams demonstrated Cardigan was the better team that day. Though they were missing their teammate Alex Hong ’12, who was off at a Music Ensemble competition, overall it was a great team win, and it made for a terrific finish to an undefeated (10–0) Lakes Region season, thus sealing the Varsity Boys Lakes Region Championship Title for Cardigan!

What started as 10 hockey alumni pictures collected by former

hockey coach and alumnus Robbie Barker ’97 through his classmates and alumni friends has now expanded to become the Hockey Tunnel of Fame and the Cougar Alumni Den in the Wakely Center. Between the two alumni athlete recognition areas there are currently 118 pictures recognizing 104 different athletes in 13 different sports. Highlights include sports both offered and not offered at Cardigan, such as hockey, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, football, skiing, and cycling—all offered, as well as golf, rowing, and auto racing. Other highlights include numerous team captains and All-Americans, 10

professional athletes in five sports, four National Team world competitors and coaches, two National Champions, two Stanley Cup winners, and one Olympic Gold Medalist.

What do we still need? Your picture! The Athletic Department has worked hard to get as many photos of alumni athletes in action as it can. We have collected most of these through college athletic departments and the World Wide Web. The Cougar Alumni Den and Hockey Tunnel of Fame have brought great pride to future, current, and former Cougars alike. The memorabilia areas are a highlighted attraction on our prospective student tours, a motivational inspiration to current Cougars, and hopefully an enticement for former Cougars to come back and visit The Point—to see their picture, share it with family and friends, and place their signature on it as well. Along with this project, the Athletic Department is striving to collect and maintain an all-time alumni list of names and accomplishments for those who have gone on to play competitive athletics in college and beyond.

If your name should be on this list, please visit the Alumni Wall of Fame page on the Cardigan website to see whether it has been included and whether we have been successful in adding your picture to the walls of the Wakely Center.

If your name is not listed and should be, if any information is not accurate, or if we don’t have your picture, please use the online submission form to reach out to us and update your information. Thanks for contributing to these inspirational areas on campus!

As Freddy stood to address the class, it was clear he had instant credibility; his smaller stature spoke volumes about the kind of attitude and determination he must carry to have made his big dreams a reality.

Freddy’s talk began with some reflection on his time at Cardigan: “…I remember all the challenges I faced as a naïve seventh grader: [from] trying to make breakfast on time, to room check, to living with a roommate, to balancing sports and academics. I wanted to call my parents and have them take me home. But what makes Cardigan a great institution is the excellent support structure that is in place. Every year, Cardigan is able to take all these new students from around the world and integrate them into one big family.”

Make the Most of an Opportunity—by Being Prepared!

When Freddy faced adversity, he worked harder. Using his professional hockey-playing days as the context for one example of his “M.O.,” he described having trained especially hard the summer before his third professional season, but then breaking his leg in the very first exhibition game. “I had trained so hard all summer for this opportunity, and in a matter of minutes it was gone. Instead of feeling sad for myself, I decided to look at it as an opportunity to prepare myself even better.” When his injury healed, he jumped back on the ice in the minors, but got a call after just two weeks from the Flyers’ GM; he was being called up. In his very first game at that level, the sudden injury of a veteran defenseman created an opportunity for Freddy to prove himself.

“I went from playing a small role on the team to being a significant contributor and someone the coach trusted in all key situations. I was thrilled with the opportunity I was given, but more important: I was prepared to excel with the challenges I faced. I strongly believe that in all aspects of life, opportunities are presented to individuals, and they have two options: Either they can let them slip by or do what I did and run with it….Each and every one of you will be presented with certain opportunities in life, and the most important part is what you do with that opportunity. In order to shine with the chance you are given, make sure that you are mentally and physically prepared ahead of time.”

In addition, Freddy stressed that by “dreaming big,” one reaps the rewards of being passionate about something, whether the

ultimate goal is achieved or not. Pouring one’s heart and soul into something to try to achieve a dream is a type of success in and of itself.

Freddy began to wrap up his talk with a favorite story of his about the gazelle and the lion, something he had kept taped to the wall of his room in Franklin House when he was once a Cardigan eighth grader:

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

With respect to the allegory of the lion and the gazelle, Freddy offered these final thoughts in his closing comments to the seniors:

“Cardigan has supplied you with everlasting core values: compassion, honesty, respect, integrity, scholarship, and fairness. But as you walk out those doors…the decision is now yours. You have to decide when you wake up tomorrow if you want to be running!”

“He’s happy, and it shows. It’s because of Cardigan.” ~John Pfeffer GP’13

Quintessential Grandparents

The Pfeffers’ home, nicknamed “East o’ the Sun,” has the weathered-board finish of a typical Cape Cod address and an interior atmosphere that announces to observant visitors that this is truly a family place. And the first stop on my visit there on a lovely summer morning provided solid evidence that this is “Hug-a-Me’s” and “Poppy’s” little corner of Heaven.

“Come, I want to show you the island,” said John Pfeffer, as he led me—not out to the water’s edge—but rather into their sunny, open kitchen and family room area.

The “island” was of the kitchen-counter top variety, adorned with family photos

Mr. and Mrs. Pfeffer GP’13 invited the author into their home in Chatham, Massachusetts, in late July to talk about why they love being Cardigan grandparents.

and jigsaw puzzles (one, nearly completed, a photographic likeness of grandson Myles Beach ’13). Once there, I was introduced, via smiling portraits, to the Pfeffers’ children and grandchildren, each described with great pride and endearing anecdotes. We spent a few moments catching up on the summer adventures of Myles, a rising ninth grader and student leader, and how much he has grown—literally and figuratively—during his time at Cardigan. Linda explained the origin of “Hug-a-Me,” Myles’s term of endearment for her.* He had loved the way she would lift him right off his feet with a hug. Now, with her grandson standing nearly six feet tall, the roles have certainly been reversed.

Connection to CardiganThe Pfeffers had to admit that they had never heard of Cardigan Mountain School before their daughter, Melinda, and her husband, Paul, decided to send their (then) 11-year-old son, Myles, to us for sixth grade three years ago. Since then they have become some of the School’s most dedicated fans, and when they began to see the positive effect Cardigan

Perspectives / 33

had on their grandson’s report cards, it became important to the Pfeffers that he remain at the School for the whole experience. Myles will join a fortunate “fraternity” of Cardigan alumni, the “four-year boys,” when he graduates in June of 2013.

A strong relationship with an independent school is not a new concept to the Pfeffers, particularly from within Linda’s side of the family. Both her grandfather and father were alumni of The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey (Classes of 1908 and 1934, respectively), along with 20-plus other members of her extended family. In fact, Lawrenceville’s impressive Bunn Library, funded by the family and opened in 1996, is evidence of their long and firm commitment to that school.

Larry Prescott P’88, joined the Cardigan

Board in 2009.

More than 25 years ago, I was told by Houston’s leading

educational counselor, “If you want to do the best possible thing for Warren, you should send him to Cardigan Mountain School.” What wonderful advice that was, not only for Warren and his development, but also for me, because it introduced me to the concept of junior boarding schools—and Cardigan in particular.

During his first year, Warren was lucky enough to live with Coach and Mrs. Marrion, as well as his classmate and now lifelong friend, Jimmy Marrion. He also was taken under the wings of Mr. and Mrs. Wakely, and I am flattered to say that Warren and I enjoy a close relationship with each of them to this day. That is the foundation

for my commitment to Cardigan Mountain School.

I have seen Warren enjoy ongoing relationships with other Cardigan friends—one even came from Finland to Warren’s wedding in Texas, and then Warren later returned the favor with a trip to Finland for Janne’s wedding. I have also observed how the virtues Cardigan instills in young boys have helped Warren grow into an outstanding father and son. So how could I not have a strengthened commitment to Cardigan each year, both emotionally and financially?

The knot was even more firmly tied three years ago when I was asked to join the Board of Trustees. This close-up look at what Cardigan provides and the efforts that go into making

the School what it is has made me even more enthusiastic about helping the administration achieve its goals. And with Dave McCusker at the helm, Cardigan will only be stronger, year after year. As will my commitment.

John—far from retired—keeps regular summer hours at the Cape Cod National Golf Club he founded in 1998, and is an active investor in two venture capital firms each with exciting new products in development.

Mr. and Mrs. Pfeffer have shown their gratitude for the experience Myles has had at Cardigan by making a naming gift to the Cardigan Commons project now under construction. On choosing to support the Pfeffer-Beach Family Student Store, they have signaled their pride in what Myles has accomplished at Cardigan, as well as their faith in the School to continue to provide boys with an outstanding place to learn and grow.

Class of 1960Above: Roger Rice ’60 in Model Airplane Club (1959). Left: Roger’s 1960 Senior Portrait.

I’ve never forgotten the day, in the spring of my ninth-grade year at

Cardigan, when Mr. (Ted) Linn and the assistant headmaster, Mr. (Norman) Wakely, gathered all of the seniors in one of the classrooms in the lower level of Hinman Hall.

It might have been the first time we all actually thought about being graduates of Cardigan, as we listened to Mr. Wakely tell us:

“Soon you will all sprout wings, and you’ll hardly see each other again, but you will always be part of this school. . . Remember what Cardigan has given you, and give back for what you have received.”

The two men went on to explain to us that giving back was more than just a financial matter; it was participation in the life of the School, and its benefits were complex.

They told us to “step up when you can,” and that has stayed with me all these years.

Back then, in 1960, the School was as old as we were (15 years old), and Mr. Linn and Mr. Wakely knew—from their place in life—that in future decades the School would need to grow. They invited us to be part of that growth, not to simply take what Cardigan had given us and move on.

Roger Rice ’60 became a member of the Heritage Society at Cardigan in 2009.

Step Up When You CanI started giving to the Annual Fund after being contacted by founders and early members of the Alumni Association. Classmates like John Stowe, the group’s first president, and Rumsey Young asked me to support the School, and I remembered what Mr. Linn and Mr. Wakely had said about “stepping up.”

A few years ago, I was at a point when things were going well for me—I had sold a piece of property, I think—and I realized I needed to do a bit more for Cardigan, because I could. That year I made a significantly higher Annual Fund gift. Since then I have mentioned the School in my estate plans, and that’s when I became a member of the Heritage Society. It won’t be a record-setting amount, but it’s what I can do to help the School to have the potential to grow.

Making a Difference1956 Alumnus Toby Kravetby Joy MichelsonDirector of Advancement Communications

PerspectivesToby Kravet ’56 in Cardigan’s “Campus

Improvement” activity in 1955.Below: Toby last winter in Alta, Utah.

When he arrived at Cardigan Mountain School in 1954, young Toby soon realized it was his turn at life experiences.

Childhood in the 1940s and 50s in the middle-class Boston suburb of Newton, Massachusetts, didn’t offer Toby Kravet, Cardigan Class of 1956, a lot of “life experiences,” according to his telling. His parents never really took vacations, and he hardly went anywhere farther afield than a friend’s home in nearby Marblehead.

Kravet’s older sister, on the other hand, was a Girl Scout. “She went skiing, canoeing, had friends over for cookouts—I was jealous.”

But when he arrived at Cardigan Mountain School in 1954, young Toby soon realized it was his turn at life experiences. “Suddenly I was in an environment of people with all kinds of backgrounds”—and presented with all kinds of new opportunities, expectations, and experiences.

For starters, Toby realized quickly that he couldn’t keep being the “daydreamer” student he had been back in public school. “In small classes of 8 or 10 kids,” he recalled, “the teacher actually noticed me looking out the window and could say, ‘Hey, listen to me!’” As a result, his grades went up, and he gained confidence in his academic abilities.

Many of the other opportunities—and successes—Kravet encountered

first at Cardigan have served him well throughout his life, particularly those of running and skiing. He remembers the run around Canaan Street Lake (still a tradition at the School) and how his first time seemed like such a long distance. “I probably walked more than I ran,” he said, but he kept on running: at Tilton School after CMS, and then in college at Brandeis and Boston Universities. Eventually he started running marathons and modestly claims to have “gotten reasonably good,” placing in local races in his age group in his adopted home state of Hawaii.

But perhaps skiing is the love that has really stayed the most true for Kravet, and that absolutely got its start at Cardigan.

Boys who wanted to ski at CMS back in those days were no slouches, to be sure. “Basically, one of my first experiences skiing,” he recalled, “was going over to the Pinnacle and boot-packing (grooming, in the most ‘low-tech’ sense of the term) the slope.” Kravet went on to join fellow students in building the rope-tow ski lift on Clancy Hill (behind Frieze House). Nowadays you’ll find him riding high-speed lifts at Alta, Utah, where he spends several weeks each year, or even in New Zealand, where he skied this summer.

Cardigan Chronicle / 36

One experience Kravet recalled from his Cardigan days that has remained in the “once-in-a-lifetime” category was the greased pig contest of ’55 (or perhaps it was ’56, he can’t quite recall). The story went that, long before there was a real hockey arena, the boys tried to build an outdoor rink in the field behind Clark-Morgan Hall. “We made this plywood [structure], but we could never get it level or flooded properly, so in the spring it was a mud patch—walled in with four sides—so somebody came up with the idea of having a greased pig contest!”

Looking back at the life-changing experiences he had here at the School, Toby says that he feels more “aloha” for Cardigan than any of the other schools he attended, though there was never any question in his mind that he should give back, “and I always have.”

Toby Kravet has been making regular gifts to The Annual Fund for Cardigan for nearly 50 years.

On behalf of the entire Development Office, thank you for the warm welcome we received at every turn during the 2011-2012 academic year.

Whether you were on the receiving end of an email, the voice on the other end of a phone call, or the other half of a handshake at a Cardigan event, we are truly grateful for your help in making our team’s first year on The Point a success.

I was intrigued to write about “momentum” in last year’s Annual Report. Although I was considered the “new guy” and still had a lot to learn about the School, I had an immediate sense of the ambition to achieve great things from those already deeply connected to the School. And, fortunately, after nearly 14 months, I feel even more compelled to write about “momentum.”

In 2011-2012, you helped us surpass the $10 million threshold needed to start construction of the Cardigan Commons facility that is scheduled to open in May 2013.

You helped us raise nearly $185,000 in the Cardigan Auction. And you also helped us surpass the Annual Fund goal of $955,000. Overall, you helped Cardigan exceed $6.4 million in new gifts this past year.

While we had a successful year on many fronts specific to fundraising, that’s just a portion of the momentum we’re experiencing. By reading the Chronicle and staying in touch with Cardigan through the website and our Facebook page, I hope you get an even broader sense of the dynamic program the boys experience on a daily basis.

We are extremely fortunate to have hundreds of loyal alumni, parents, faculty and staff, grandparents, friends, volunteers, and countless others who are committed to enhancing the overall Cardigan experience.

Thank you!

Under Headmaster McCusker’s leadership and an incredibly strong, informed, and invested Board of Trustees, Cardigan Mountain School is hitting its stride in so many ways. This is not due to chance, but due to the very diligent and tactical work by many people throughout the Cardigan community.

Success is inspired from the top of any organization. Cardigan is fortunate to have Dave McCusker at the helm. He is Cardigan through and through and has been able to nurture the “secret sauce” that has made Cardigan so great for more than half a

century, with a mission to continue to improve and innovate the program while instilling in every student a desire to learn and value others.

Cardigan seems to be bucking the trend of many junior boarding schools over these last five years. The School has embarked on the largest multipurpose fundraising campaign in its history and is already achieving great results with the building of a new Commons, incorporating dining room, student center, theater/lecture hall, school store, and many flexible spaces for learning and lounging. A few faculty houses have been renovated, a new learning facility for the Charles C. Gates Invention and Innovation Program has been constructed, and a base camp for the C.O.R.E. (Cardigan

Outdoor Recreation Expeditions) program was refurbished—all within the last year.

On the horizon will be the transformation of the old dining hall into student and faculty housing, as well as a step-by-step rehabilitation of many of Cardigan’s original dormitories. And while physical enhancements are made to the campus, numerous faculty enrichment programs will be prioritized, including continuing education resources for the faculty.

In addition, Cardigan is making important improvements to its overall program so that it can continue its leadership in the education of middle school boys. The School has evolved the program to integrate more hands-on learning and has adopted

innovative team-teaching techniques to bring greater relevance to all subjects. The PEAKS® program continues to advance, giving every student lifelong tools to maximize his learning based on understanding unique learning styles.

The success that Cardigan has achieved over the last several years is being recognized in many ways. Student enrollment is at its maximum; educational consultants are prioritizing Cardigan because of its program; parents rank their experience as exceptional, according to annual parent satisfaction surveys; school placement for secondary schools is at its highest achievement, based on data indicating students’ going on to either their first- or second-choice secondary schools; fundraising support is broader and higher than ever; and faculty retention is at levels not seen in decades.

As I travel around the world meeting parents (past and present), alumni, and current students, I am in awe of how everyone (no matter his age) talks about his Cardigan experience: “It turned my life around.” “It gave me a new level of self-confidence.” “I wouldn’t be who I am if it wasn’t for Cardigan.” “The teachers were my friends and made it fun to learn.” “I can’t believe what Cardigan was able to do in a few short years.” “I am indebted to Cardigan.”

Some of the most amazing stories come from parents—many of whose sons were not “clicking” for some reason—there was a need for a change and a new environment. After a long search and lots of introspection, Cardigan was chosen and the journey began. I recall meeting with one particular father, who leads one of the most successful global turnaround firms in the world, talking about his undying love for his son and the desperation that their family felt when it was clear a change in schools was necessary. “Cardigan was the answer—the faculty turned him around with love, confidence, and direction, and every vacation when he came home, he was so mature, confident, and joyful.” The father had tears in his eyes telling me this story—and utmost appreciation for the “special sauce” of Cardigan. He, like many others in my journey, is a lifelong supporter and advocate and loves to tell the family’s special story about how Cardigan made all the difference.

I am sure you have your special story, and I encourage you to tell it to family and friends who care. Cardigan makes a difference, and your support will allow Cardigan to stay on a roll!

The center of community life on campus, it’s where students and faculty will share family-style

meals, along with the excitement and news of the day—and social time. Centrally located

between classrooms and athletic facilities, with bright spaces and a commanding view of Mount

Cardigan and Canaan Street Lake, the Commons will be the new campus hub. With transport

and delivery vehicle access from Alumni Drive, the new facility will also enhance both safety and

convenience for the entire Cardigan community.

The $15 million* Cardigan Commons project is made possible by the generous support of many

devoted members of the greater School community. Each donor, regardless of the size of his or

her gift, plays a critical role in this important and strategic enhancement to our campus and to the

nurturing, close-knit community life that has been Cardigan’s strength since 1945.

In recent years, the Cardigan Mountain School Board of Trustees made a commitment to strengthening the overall advancement

effort at Cardigan. Building the right team for our school was a priority and the immediate success we’re witnessing is merely a starting point for what’s to come in the near and distant future.

As the Development Committee chairperson, I have had the pleasure of working with David Perfield, director of development, and his talented staff during their first year on The Point. As a trustee, I have the pleasure of working on the board with a tremendously gifted group of individuals who care deeply about Cardigan, its students and faculty, and its future. As the parent of a Cardigan graduate, I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand

the benefits of a Cardigan education.

In 2011-2012, Cardigan experienced a record-breaking year and raised over $6.4 million in capital and annual fund monies. Other accomplishments worth noting include 100% participation from our board for Annual Fund support and the Cardigan Commons project, 68% Annual Fund participation from our current parent population, the start of the construction of the new dining and student center facility, and a stellar auction that provided over $185,000 in revenue. In my mind, these highlights help define Cardigan’s current trajectory.

There are great things happening on The Point, and I invite you to become involved. Whether it’s providing financial support for the Annual Fund, making a donation to the auction, attending an off-campus event, encouraging a prospective family to visit Cardigan, being an active volunteer with the Parents’ Association, organizing a reunion for your class, commenting on a Facebook post, hosting an event, or sharing a photo for the Chronicle, you will make a significant impact.

On behalf of the Development Committee, thank you for helping Cardigan achieve the level of excellence it strives for every day.

1947Stuart “Ronnie” Kaplan sends word that he is both healthy and happy, playing lots of tennis, and continuing to work hard at his U.S. Games Systems, Inc., in Stamford, Conn. In recalling his year at Cardigan, he writes about former faculty member Ted Peach: “Each evening, he and Dolly would let me listen to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue on their 78 rpm record player. One of my fondest memories. Ted and Dolly were super people.”

Lou Tobia and his wife, Ann, visited with Lou’s fellow Cardigan alums at a reception at the Harvard Club in Boston back in January. Lou admitted that it had been many years since he had attended a Cardigan function. We look forward to their joining us on campus in October for the Founders’ Pride gathering.

Barbara Pearson P’98, Lou ’47 and Ann Tobia, and Kim Kenly ’68.

1948Roger Lighty and his wife, Frances, traveled east in June and were on campus for graduation weekend, where they happily attended the alumni reception on Commencement eve.

1950Harry Metz sends his regrets for not being close enough to attend the Founders’ Pride gathering at CMS in October. Harry writes, “I would love to see Ted Peach again. Looking back, I think he was a pivotal figure in my life. I think that my career in the USAF was solidified within me by him in the eighth and ninth grades, by his talks of WWII and battlefield commission. I really respected him then and do to this day.”

Roger Lighty ’48, 2012 Commencement speaker Freddy Meyer ’97, Frances Lighty, and Director of Alumni Programs Richard Clancy ’67.

1951Chuck Margeson sent a recent letter to the Alumni Office. He writes, “. . . the years I spent at Cardigan were so meaningful to me. People like [‘Clancy’] and others are always on my mind and have helped to guide me ever since. They gave me a sense of balance in my life.”

1952David Cheever and his wife, Cynthia, visited Cardigan in early September. They were accompanied to campus by former Headmaster Norman Wakely, with whom they were visiting at his home in Lyme, N.H. The Cheevers were in New England to pay a visit to their granddaughter, who was beginning her college career at Boston College. While on campus, they were delighted to witness the construction progress of the new dining hall/student center.

David ’52 and Cynthia Cheever.

1954We were saddened to learn of the passing of Norman Pierce on February 28, 2012, in Brockton, Mass. A full obituary appears elsewhere on page 86.

1955Ron Warden and his wife, Shirley (formerly Shirley Clark, daughter of past Headmaster Wilfred “Dutch” Clark), write with dismay of not being able to attend the Founders’ Pride gathering at CMS in October. They fondly remember early Cardigan teachers such as Don Stowe and Jack Morgan. Ron writes, “Cardigan holds great importance to both of us. We would sure like to see the old and new campuses, wrapped in fall colors.”

Alumni News / 73

1956Toby Kravet recently wrote to the Alumni Office in response to a thank you he had received for his 2012 gift to the Annual Fund. He writes, “I went on from Cardigan to Tilton School, graduating in 1959, but I was always more partial to Cardigan, maybe because it was my first experience living away from home, maybe because of the rugged outdoorsy-type activities to which I was introduced at Cardigan and which I continued in later years, and maybe both of the above. I, however, have been back to Tilton twice in the past few years but never Cardigan, which was, actually, a more fundamentally important experience in my life.” Comments from an additional conversation with Toby can be found on page 36.

1957Charles Kaplan and his wife, Desiree, hosted members of Cardigan’s Alumni and Development offices for dinner in Dallas back in November 2011. Charles has fond memories of his days at Cardigan. He is an attorney, licensed in Texas and Florida, and travels occasionally to New England.

Charles ’57 and Desiree Kaplan.

1959Dick Weeks recently replied with regrets to his invitation to the Founders’ Pride event in October. Dick lives in Lafayette, Colorado, and he writes, “I am principal at another school—Catalyst High School, with 35 students. This is my 45th year in teaching/school administration. Give my best to everyone on The Point . . . especially the Marrion family.” Will do, Dick!

1960As of his last communication with the Alumni Office, Tom Hale was serving as the town administrator for the town of Georgetown, Colorado. Tom and his wife, Nancy, live in Salida, Colorado. Their son Christopher (“Kip”) Hale ’95 recently spent more than two years in Cambodia, where he served as the co-prosecutor for the ECCC (Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia).

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Duncan Jenks on September 7, 2011, in Baltimore, Maryland. A full obituary appears on page 87.

1962Arthur Cox played host to fellow alums Richard Clancy ’67 and Tim Fleming ’70 for breakfast in Woods Hole, Mass., back in July. Tim was on the Cape to attend the Cardigan reception in Brewster, and Richard was in Woods Hole to take the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard for a visit to Bruce Marshard ’64.

1963Dick Boothby attended a Cardigan reception at the home of current Cardigan parents David and Christine Martinelli in Philadelphia back in April. Please see photos in the events section on page 7.

1966Jim Taylor visited with fellow Cardigan alumni and friends while attending a reception in Houston. Jim teaches and conducts music at Kilgore College in Kilgore, Tex. He recently conducted Carmina Burana in the annual Masterworks Concert at Trinity Episcopal Church in Longview, Tex. As Jim looks forward to completing his doctorate, we’ll look forward to congratulating “Dr. Taylor” in our next issue.

1968Geoff Blair recently contacted the Alumni Office to check in on all things Cardigan. Geoff, who formerly served on the CMS Alumni Association Board of Directors, now lives in Apache Junction, Ariz., with his wife, Fran, and their devoted golden retriever, Molson (Get it? Molson, the Golden?). Geoff is a long-haul trucker, logging many hundreds of thousand of miles on the road each year. Geoff and Fran spend the warmer months in their motorhome, comfortably parked in Bryce Canyon, Utah.

Geoff Blair ’68 and Molson.

1969Geoff Turner recently called the Alumni Office to check in with Cardigan. Geoff moved from New York City to Scottsdale, Ariz., two years ago and is enjoying the sunny Southwest. He continues to do legal placement searches, both for temporary assignments and for permanent attorney placements. He reports that he “has had a good year” in that endeavor. Geoff also mentioned that his younger brother, Lincoln Turner ’76, lives in Roxbury, Conn., and teaches photography at Chase Collegiate School in Waterbury. Lincoln has a son, Graham, who attended Cardigan Summer Session in 2010.

1970Alumni President Steve August ’69 mentions that he paid a visit to his friend and Cardigan schoolmate Dean Durling at Dean’s home in New Jersey late this summer. Dean’s son, Oliver ’11, is attending Blair Academy.

1971George Nathanson stopped by campus recently while on a business trip in N.H. George and his wife, Julie, live in West Warwick, R.I., where he works for Mereco Technologies, which produces industrial adhesives. While on campus he made it a point to visit the School Store to pick up a few items by which to remember Cardigan.

Alumni Director Richard Clancy ’67 assists George Nathanson ’71 at the Cardigan School Store.

1972Richard “Macy” Harris recently visited campus with his wife, Lucy, to see how Cardigan has changed. They stopped by The Point while en route to the Maine coast after dropping off their daughter at Champlain College in Burlington, Vt. The Harrises recently moved from their home in Rochester, N.Y., to Longboat Key, Fla. Macy sadly admitted that he had not visited Cardigan since he graduated but was delighted to catch up with “Coach” Marrion during their visit.

1973Former Alumni President Ken Klaus writes that he and wife, Kitten, enjoyed very much their opportunity to host alumni from the Philadelphia area to the first Mid-Atlantic Chapter BBQ back in May. Ken hopes to repeat the event as soon as possible. Please see photos in the events section, on page 7.

Chutinant “Nick” BhiramBhakdi, as chairman of Paralympic Thailand, accompanied 50 para-athletes to compete in the 2012 London Paralympic Games. Nick’s team was quite successful, winning four gold, two silver, and two bronze medals.

Alumni News / 75

1974Bill Barry visited The Point in early August. It was the first time he had visited campus since the day his brother Bob ’77 graduated. Two other brothers, Daniel ’71 and John ’72, predated Bill at CMS. Bill is a development officer at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Mass., and was at Cardigan to share his development experience working on Deerfield’s Senior Parent Gift Program. During a tour of the campus, Bill noted how impressed he was with Cardigan A.D. Ryan Frost’s efforts to showcase Cardigan alumni athletes who have excelled in college and beyond. Bill sends kudos to Coach Frost.

Charles “Charlie” Gallagher was back on campus for the 25th Annual Alumni Hockey Game back in February (see events article elsewhere in this issue). In a note to the Alumni Office before attending, Charlie had written, “I think of The Point often, especially Jim Marrion and the guys like John Petraglia, Tony Santilli (the best goalie coach I ever had), Charlie Metz, Scott Eliot ’73, Joe Jangro ’75, and Scott Powers ’75, who were all teammates, people I haven’t seen for a long time. I think about Coach Bruce Marshard ’64 and how much he taught me about hard work and responsibility. I think with pride about how together we were as teammates; I never played on another team that was that single-minded and focused. I’d like to think that we were there when Cardigan’s hockey program really started to make a name for itself. I will always cherish that I was allowed to be part of it—a small part, but a piece nonetheless.”

1975Asche Ackerman stopped by a Cardigan reception in his native Houston back in November, where he was delighted to catch up with former Headmaster and Mrs. Wakely.

George Iverson happened by campus back in February, and while seated for lunch in the Hayward dining room, he was asked to join in a photo of 11 alumni who were present at that time (see photo elsewhere in this section).

Nicholas Harmon was on campus in September to witness a soccer game in which his youngest son, Matt ’14, was playing for our Cougars in his first year at Cardigan. Nicholas (pictured below) also participated in a videotaped interview while he was on campus, to assist us in preparing for the School’s 75th anniversary celebration in 2020. His father, Robert Harmon, was a graduate of Clark School in Hanover, which merged with Cardigan in the early 1950s. Along with Matt’s brothers Ben ’07 and Zak ’11, the Harmons are a three-generation Cardigan family!

1976Anderson White was happy to attend a Cardigan reception in Houston in November (2011); while there, he reminisced with former Headmaster and Mrs. Wakely, as well as Cardigan schoolmates Asche Ackerman, Wayne Wickman ’78, and Joe Bergner ’77. Anderson’s daughter, Cookie, has attended Cardigan Summer Session in recent summers.

1977David Winters generously shared his most recent birthday celebration with the current Cardigan students by treating them to a steak dinner at Cardigan. The dinner, which took place in April, was thoroughly enjoyed by students and faculty alike, who showed their appreciation by expressing their birthday greetings to him in a video tribute filmed during the meal.

1978Classmates Peter Baker and Kirk Franklin were both on campus on September 8 to drop off their respective sons for the current academic year at Cardigan. Charlie Baker ’14 has begun his eighth-grade year at CMS, while Austin Franklin ’13 joins Cardigan as a ninth grader.

Peter Baker ’78 caught up with Mr. Hart while on campus in September.

Ned Gibbons and Wayne Wickman both attended Cardigan receptions in recent months, and Craig Johnson, and his wife, Kathy, generously hosted a CMS reception at their home in Houston. Please see events photos elsewhere in this issue.

1979Roberto Mathies sends word to the Alumni Office that after Cardigan he attended Avon Old Farms and Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Tex., graduating with a BBA in 1986. Since TCU he has lived in his home country of El Salvador. Roberto and his wife, Mirela, have three children: Roberto, who is 19 and attending Drexel University in Philadelphia; Alejandra, who is 18 and a high school senior; and Juan Fernando, who is 12 and in seventh grade.

1980Tim Frost is President of Peregrine Design/Build of South Burlington, Vt. Peregrine turns 25 in 2013! Tim writes, “I started the company after graduating from the University of Vermont. Our name was inspired by the unique and rare bird that has made a comeback in New England after being threatened by DDT during the 70s.The bird is symbolic of the dynamism of our company—perceptive and unique, and in a class of its own. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is steadfast. The reputation we’ve earned in the community is reflective of this, and we work hard to satisfy our customers, no matter how demanding. With multiple projects underway each year, my proudest accomplishment is the team of employees and established trade partners that work together to offer the best skills in the area. In addition to having been on the board of the Vermont Home Builders & Remodelers Council, I volunteer for the University of Vermont, serving on the Vermont Regional Board, which hosts alumni events and supports students and recent graduates with career-networking opportunities and advice. Next year’s anniversary has given me an opportunity to reflect and look ahead. I’m especially excited about the design work that’s being created by our team, and we’re currently planning some events to showcase building and remodeling trends with several of our trade partners for next year.”

1981Ron von Jako again served as a judge for the Charles C. Gates Invention & Innovation Competition, which is held annually in the spring (see separate article). Ron was also present for the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Cardigan Commons building back in May. The celebration, which included the entire Cardigan community, kicked off the construction of what is sure to become the center of student life on The Point.

1982Henry “Eddie” Collins was spotted on The Point in September. The occasion was a football game in which Eddie’s son was playing for the visiting St. Paul’s team. His cover was blown when he was overheard by Director of Alumni Programs Richard Clancy ’67 commenting that he thought he recognized honorary alumnus “Coach” Marrion at the game. Indeed, he was correct, and a heartfelt reunion with “Coach” was in order. The visit also revealed that Eddie is a cousin of longtime Cardigan faculty member (and fellow honorary alumnus) Wim Hart. Eddie lives on Boxborough, Mass., where he and his wife own and operate a bakery.

1987Mark Dantos visited Cardigan back in January. While on campus he enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with his former teachers and coaches, such as Dudley Clark, Ed Ramos, Wim Hart, and Jim “Coach” Marrion. Following his graduation from CMS, Mark attended St. Paul’s School, graduating in 1990, and Colby College, graduating in 1994. Mark had previously lived and worked in Washington, D.C., writing for the energy industry, but he eventually returned to the Upper Valley and has now worked at the Dartmouth College Gift Planning Office for three years. Mark mentioned that being back on campus was a great reminder to him of the important role that CMS played in his life.

1989Headmaster David McCusker ’80 enjoyed the company of several members of the Cardigan community at a lunch in Chicago back in December. Geoff Wendt was happy to hear about all the progress being made on The Point.

1990While attending the Cardigan reception at the Harvard Club in Boston back in January, Andrew Kelley proudly showed off photos of twins Chase and Bryce Kelley, born June 23, 2011. Chase and Bryce got to celebrate birthday number one this past June by climbing Mt. Washington with “Dad”!

1991Former faculty member (and Honorary Alumnus!) Bill Barron caught up with Aaron Pena back in March. Bill writes, “I had dinner in Phoenix with Aaron Pena CMS ’91 (Pomfret ’94), his wife, Renae, and 11-year-old daughter, Ariana. First time we’ve seen each other since 1992! Aaron is currently working as a technician in a nuclear power facility.” Thanks for passing along the news and photo, Bill!

1992Cardigan is proud to congratulate Karl Hutter, and his wife, Jennifer, on the arrival of their daughter, Hannah Shea Hutter, born December 31, 2011. Karl and Jen live in Reno, Nevada, and Karl has generously assisted Cardigan for the last two years as a judge for the annual Charles C. Gates Invention and Innovation Competition (see article beginning on page 26).

1993Josh Pellegrino has moved from Long Island, N.Y., to Fairfax, Va.

1994Congratulations go out to Greenleaf Garrison, and his wife, Christine, who were kind enough to send along a birth announcement for their son, Michael “Benjamin” Garrison, born last September (9.24.11). Greenleaf writes, “Benjamin is happy and healthy and enjoying his time at home with Mommy. He has a promising future that certainly has great opportunities, including Cardigan. What an incredible tradition to continue, third generation! I hope all is well and wish our Cardigan family all the best!”

Tony Ward, and his mom, Cynthia Landreth, were happy to visit with other members of the Cardigan community at a lunch with Headmaster David McCusker ’80 in Chicago back in December (see photo at Class of ’89).

Phil VonHollander was spotted on the sidelines of a Cardigan lacrosse game at Avon Old Farms back in April. After Cardigan’s game with Avon, our Cougars took on a spirited team from West Hartford, Conn., for which Phil’s brother, Reinhard, was the coach. Did Phil root for our Cougars? He’s safe. The game ended in a 5–5 tie!

John D’Entremont was recently appointed assistant head of the Lower School and director of Auxiliary Programs at the Tower School in Marblehead, Mass.

1996Congratulations go out to Alex Rogers. Alex recently updated the Alumni Office by writing, “I was recently married to Katherine Reilly of Glen Ridge, N.J. We were married on August 27, 2011, in Rye, N.Y., during Hurricane Irene. We were able to get everything done, despite moving everything up five hours! The reception was held at Shenorock Shore Club. We honeymooned in Hawaii on the islands of Lana’i and Kauai. Hope all are doing well at CMS!” Alex is employed by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney at their Jersey City, N.J., office.

Bart Fromuth is managing director of Resident Power, New Hampshire’s first energy aggregator focusing on residents and small consumers. He’s been making quite a splash in the media lately. Bart has a regular spot as co-host of radio’s Sean the Energy Guy show. In a recent segment on TV’s New Hampshire’s Business, Bart explains resident power and how electricity deregulation has finally trickled down to the “little guy.” Watch the segment on YouTube (search “Bart Fromuth”).

1997Freddy Meyer, our most recent Commencement speaker (June 2012), recently retired as a professional hockey player, after a nine-year career during which he played in 418 NHL and AHL games. In late August, the Manchester Monarchs, the top affiliate of the 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings, named Freddy as the club’s new assistant coach. “It is a great honor to be the next assistant coach of the Manchester Monarchs and to be part of the Los Angeles Kings organization,” expressed Meyer. “Growing up in New Hampshire and playing youth hockey throughout New England, I look forward to returning to the Granite State and getting my coaching career started.” Congratulations Freddy!

1999Jake Deane (shown above with Marina Chaney P’11) visited The Point in May, where he had the opportunity to address the student body and spend some time on the sidelines with the Cardigan lacrosse teams. After Cardigan, Jake attended Suffield Academy and the University of Massachusetts. He holds the UMass single-season ground ball record, was honored as an All-American, and captained his lacrosse squad to the 2006 National Championship game. Since 2006, Jake has played professionally in Major League Lacrosse for the Chicago Machine, Toronto Nationals, and Chesapeake Bayhawks. He is the co-founder of True Lacrosse, an organization dedicated to growing the game through clinics, camps, and other playing opportunities.

Jeremy Hansen visited campus in August with his friend Remi Do. Jeremy lives in Seoul, South Korea, where he teaches at an American School. Earlier in the summer, Jeremy had hosted his brother, Keith, in South Korea. Keith is employed at Cardigan in the Dining Services department.

2000In a story published online by Bowdoin College’s Daily Sun, we learned that Pack Janes walked into a memorable situation—recognizing his service to the country—on the floor of the NYSE: “It was a show-stopping moment on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on April 17, when traders welcomed Marine Corps officer Pack Janes [Bowdoin ’09], back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. The floor erupted in applause as Pack was presented with a medal from NYSE CEO Duncan Niederauer. Janes’s family says the attention was unexpected and that Pack had come to the floor of the NYSE to thank traders for their support of his platoon. The Bloomberg TV program In Business, for which Pack’s sister, Maxine Janes [Bowdoin ’10], is a producer, was being broadcast but came to a halt amid the excitement.” You can view the moment online (Google Search: NYSE “Pack Janes”). Pack recently sent the Alumni Office a photo (taken back in January) in which he and a Bowdoin classmate, Ed Yoo, are posing at a remote patrol base in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

2001Ryan Carney sends word that after graduating from the University of New Hampshire he began working for Boeing at The Kennedy Space Station in Florida on the International Space Station. In 2011, he relocated to Houston, Tex., to work on Boeing’s Commercial Crew Development Program, which he says “aims to provide a safe and reliable transportation system for astronauts to get to and from the International Space Station.” Ryan writes that he no longer plays hockey or lacrosse, but he has taken up tennis. He continues to cycle, but on a limited basis, due to Houston’s hot and humid climate. He was happy to hear that Cardigan was fielding a team in the Prouty Ride. Maybe we can convince Ryan to come north to ride for Cardigan in next year’s Prouty!

Ryan Carney ’01.

2002Kory Falite sent his regrets on not being able to attend the 25th Annual Alumni Hockey Game back in February. At the time he was busy playing for the Utah Grizzlies of the East Coast Hockey League. In the previous year he had played for the Alaska Aces and even ventured to Scandinavia to play for a team in Oslo, Norway.

Peter Blood paid a visit to campus in September, where he was happy to catch up with many of his old teachers and coaches. Peter now lives in Edward, Colo., and works in the ski industry at Beaver Creek Resort. He was delighted to hear that Cardigan is planning an alumni reception in Vail again this winter to coincide with the World Cup event at Beaver Creek.

2003Cardigan faculty member David Auerbach P’11 recently ran into Nick John while on a visit to the State House in Massachusetts. Nick is the committee clerk in the Office of Representative John Scibak in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts House of Representatives.

2004Eric Daddario visited campus back in December with his mother, Jane. After Cardigan, Eric attended South Kent School, followed by Clarkson University, where he was a “recruited walk-on” in hockey.

Eric Daddario ’04 and his mother, Jane.

2005Jack O’Brien made a surprise early-morning swing through campus in May. He was en route to visit his younger brother at Brewster Academy and enjoyed breakfast in the dining hall here, where he was able to catch up with Mr. D’Entremont ’94 and Mr. Sinclair.

Sumner Ford sends word to the Alumni Office that he has fond memories of his time at CMS, in particular on the ski and lacrosse teams. Sumner attended Holderness after Cardigan, and he is now studying environmental science at St. Lawrence University, which he loves. He is also enjoying unstructured afternoons after years of competitive sports.

Courtney Lockwood was the subject of a recent article in Colorado College’s Tiger Times: “Inside Colorado College Ice Hockey.” An excerpt from the article read, “ ‘He is a typical goalie.’ Explanation: He is hardworking, full of energy, and the ultimate difference maker. If that is what it means to be a typical goalie, then yes, he is a typical goalie. However, (Colorado College) goalie Courtney Lockwood is completely atypical. Yes, he is all those things, but he is also a whole lot more. He is professional and focused, with a healthy balance between assertiveness and conservativeness in both his life as a hockey player and student. ‘It is about working hard every

day and setting a good precedent for what is to come,’ he says. Lockwood is also exceedingly eloquent, making my job hard to confine this segment to a single page. Even with such exceptional qualities working in his favor, Lockwood’s paramount concern lies in being a team player. ‘I will do everything I can to help the team,’ he stresses. . . . Lockwood also works to surround himself with positive people. Courtney’s roommate, fellow Tiger Jordan DiGiando, remarks: ‘He’s a really down-to-earth guy. He will help you out with whatever you need.’ When Jordan talks about good character in the CC locker room, he is referring to Courtney Lockwood. Lockwood exemplifies everything it means to be a Colorado College hockey player in that he combines intelligence with skill.”

2006Suk Hwan Hong was kind enough to update his contact information with the Alumni Office recently. While he maintains a home address in Seoul, Republic of Korea, Suk Hwan is studying at New York University, where he is majoring in mass communications.

Joe Lisicky was the subject of a recent article in Lynchburg College Magazine entitled “Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick.”An excerpt from this reads, “Defender Joe Lisicky has made his presence known in a sport where offensive players often grab the attention, glamour, and headlines. But it is impossible to miss this physical 6’2”, 205-pound player when he is on the field. Lisicky earned First Team All-American honors this spring, the first Hornet named to the First Team in the history of the program. The ODAC and All-State Player of the Year led the team to a 17–2 record, the most wins in school history. LC went unbeaten in conference play and breezed through the conference tournament en route to the ODAC title.”

Bill Barron writes to congratulate his friend and former colleague Alex Gray on being named the 2012 recipient of the Cardigan Mountain School Alumni Association’s Honorary Alumnus Award: “Congratulations, Alex, on your Honorary Alumnus status! To be considered as a fellow honoree is the ultimate compliment to your ‘triple-threat’ work. You have made the School your family, as much as you and your family have made the School.”

And, Coach Barron writes of himself, “After spending the summer in Lake Placid advising a school on its residential life curriculum, I am thankful to be back in Colorado amongst the mountains. I am keeping busy with soccer and wrestling, both coaching and officiating. While I have had opportunities to return to the East Coast, I do believe my present calling is to marry my professional gifts with my personal desire to be in the West.”

In MemoriamJoseph (“Joe”) McIntyre, age 72, passed away in May 2012 at his Sharon, Vt., home. Originally from Waltham, Mass., Joe enlisted in the Air Force for four years, earned his nursing degree at Newton Junior College, and for many years put that degree to use at a state hospital in Waltham, where he met his future wife. When the desire for a geographic change came into play, the couple moved north, and Joe served as Cardigan’s school nurse for a decade (1980-1990), during which time he and his wife, Linda, had their three sons. Joe was an outdoor enthusiast, with a love of skiing and fishing. He was also an avid New England sports fan, though his greatest joy came from watching his own sons’ playing their sports. On May 15, 2012, a service was held for Joe in Sharon, Vt., where he and his family had eventually settled after their years at Cardigan.

Andres Alarcon, age 23, son of former faculty member Paul Dyer (employed 1994-1998), passed away in October 2011 due to an ongoing medical condition. Andres is also an alumnus of Cardigan’s Summer Session, and in 2006 he graduated from the International School of Lausanne (Switzerland), where he was also at one point a member of the summer school staff. Prior to his passing, Andres had just received his bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University (Boston), where he worked at the International Student Center. Andres was truly appreciated for his enthusiasm, positive outlook, and love of life. A celebration of his life was held in November 2011 in Barrington, R.I.

Terry Guest, age 60, of Canaan, N.H. (formerly of Nashua, N.H.), died unexpectedly at his home in August 2011.

Terry was an avid outdoorsman, who enjoyed fishing and hunting. A graveside service was held for Terry in Nashua, N.H.
