Cardigan Mountain

School

Cardigan Mountain School seeks to educate adolescent boys in mind, body, and spirit in a small residential commu­nity that values each student in its care. The school was founded in the Judeo-Chris- tian tradition that welcomes boys of all religious faiths. It emphasizes respect and re­sponsibility, values effort and rewards accomplishment. It helps each boy realize his academic and personal poten­tial.

The Class of 2003 dedicates the Blaze to

Allan KreuzburgMr. Kreuzburg, the Class of 2003 enthusiastically thanks you for your constant support and selflessness You are known throughout the student body as one of the most demanding, yet most caring adults on campus. Whether helping students prepare for a practical, working and sweating with the wrestling

team, running a tight ship in Franklin House, or roaming the campus to ensure that the dorms are running smoothly, you have always given of yourself for the betterment of this community. Students recognize that each time you ask them to give a little more or try a little harder, you are really helping

each and everyone of them to become a better person.

Seniors overwhelmingly voted to dedicate the 2003 Blaze to you. When asked why, they said:"He is a great dorm parent, teacher and friend."

"He lives for Cardigan!""Even though he is very tough, he is very fair, and this is something to admire."

"He dedicates a large amount of his time to Cardigan in the classroom, at sports, with recycling and witlenforcing the rules."

"He was the best teacher in my Cardigan career.""Mr. K is my favorite teacher because he lives and breathes Cardigan and he cares about what I do with

my life."

Varsity Footballhis season the Cougars continued the strong Cardigan Tradition by finishing with 7 wins and 3 )sses. After a difficult stretch during the middle of the season, the team finished with impres- ve victories over Laconia and Avon. Another victory over Eaglebrook added to the season's accesses. Coach Lynch cited Quarterback Chris Young and Running Back Steve Silva as two :andout performers. He also noted the key contributions by Jimmy Dirkes and Harrison Taylor 5 crucial for the offensive and defensive lines. 'Tt's good to see so many kids progress from the tnior varsity to the varsity level/' added Coach Lynch. "Now that's a football program!"

The Varsity Soccer Team finished the seasor\ with a 3rd place finish in the New England Junior Prep School Soccer Champion­ships. The team started slowly, partly due to no returning players from last year's team, but showed growth and improvement right to the tournament. The tournament was special as the team allowed only one goal in 7 games. This team gradu­ates 8 players from a roster of 17 players, which is promising for next year.

The JV Hockey team struggled to find wins this season, but made up for that with hard work and determina­tion. As the coaches noted, "a defeated season tells you what you are made of. For the boys, it often tried their patience, but it never broke their character. For that reason, we are extremely proud of them ." The boys played one of their best games of the winter in their final game on the road at Eaglebrook.
