Cardigan Mountain School

Nine seniors congregated Tuesday evening at Frieze House in celebration of their four years at Cardigan together. Mr. and Mrs. McCusker hosted the boys for a delicious dinner prepared by talented Chef Spano, our director of Dining Services. The boys were offered a starter entrée of lobster, with steak to follow, and this year’s crew may hold the record (at least in the last six years) for most lobsters enjoyed in “entrée round one,” as all but one opted to dive into the messy business of this shelled delicacy.

 

During the meal the boys recalled other classmates who had begun at Cardigan with them in sixth grade but whose paths, for one reason or another, had taken them in another direction at some point. Among other things, they recalled with particular fondness (and a lot of laughs) their sixth-grade trip to Cape Cod. In addition, they talked about their favorite teachers and coaches, as well as some of their funniest memories. And finally, they spoke of their summer plans and secondary school plans. (Three will be joining their older brothers at their next schools and seemed genuinely pleased about that!) This year’s Cardigan “lifers” are (in order of smiles, left to right, in the group photo): (Mr. and Mrs. McCusker), Nicholas Slaughter, Seung Ick “Michael” Chang, Joo Sang “James” Lee, Noah Drummond, Yun Do “Brian” Hwang, Chris Alberigi, Morgan Himmer, Myles Beach, and Henry Day.
