I am Mary Donin and I am sitting in Rauner Library with Jack Skewes, the former business manager of Dartmouth College. So we're talking about chronology here, Mr. Skewes. I guess I would first like to start out by hearing a little bit about your undergraduate years at Dartmouth. First of all I would like to know how you ended up coming to Dartmouth in the first place. Did you have family? JACK SKEWES: No family. I was born in Claremont, New Hampshire and lived there through my junior year in high school. My dad and mother used to bring me up to Dartmouth football games and track meets when we were competing against Army that had Glenn Davis, "Doc" Blanchard -- great All-Americans -- and basketball games, particularly during World War II when ROTC programs were here and Dartmouth was getting all of these All-Americans from all over the country coming in to train. So I just was sort of a Dartmouth fan from being a kid. Then we moved to Concord, Massachusetts, when I was a senior. My dad took a job down there, and I went to Concord High School my senior year and the principal of the school was a Dartmouth graduate.

  • Annual Reports of the Town of Hanover, New Hampshire for The
    COVER COLLAGE OF DRAWINGS BY BERNICE A. RAY SCHOOL FIRST GRADERS First grade students from the Ray School spent January visiting the dif- ferent Town departments. When they returned to school, they drew their perceptions of their visit and dictated a line or two about what they had learned to their teacher. The children's statements appear unedited. This Town Report cover reflects a first grader's understanding of the Town's work. The cover is a collage of many children's drawings. Many thanks are extended to the first grade teachers, Mrs. Derrick, Mrs. Demont, and Miss Hayes for their flexibility in scheduling and support of the project. Special thanks go to Selectman Willie Black for coor- dinating the project with Dartmouth College interns, Peter Donat and Clare Killeen.

I wanted to start and have you talk about your long association with Dartmouth. Did you grow up here in Hanover? CHOUKAS: I grew up here in Hanover, yes. My father, who was the Class of ʻ27, came back in the fall of ʻ29 to teach and he was a professor here for 39 years. So at the age of a year and a half I moved to Hanover and lived here—well, we moved to Norwich in ʻ41 but I went through the Hanover school system into high school and then went to Vermont Academy as a student and graduated from there. I then went to Clark School, which was in Hanover, as a post-graduate day student, and then to Dartmouth, and graduated in ʻ51. CARROLL: What was Dartmouth like back in the 40s? CHOUKAS: And the ʻ30s? CARROLL: And the ʻ30s, yes, thatʼs right! CHOUKAS: Well, Dartmouth was—this is a stereotypical quote—monolithic, although we didnʼt realize it in those days. It was a small college but it was very nationally prominent, and I guess I can talk more about what Hanover was like from—through the eyes of a young kid growing up here.

  • A Dartmouth '76 Odyssey
    2001: A Dartmouth ’76 Odyssey The 25th Reunion Book of The Class of 1976 Baker Tower Via Northwest Buttress (Hanover, N. H.) Class 5.9, A2. Time: 3 hours. First ascent: Ted Scheu and John Olsen, June 13, 1976. The original 1 party took an additional ⁄2 hour placing a 76 marker on the face, since removed. Note it is not necessary to secure the permission of the land- holder before making this climb. A report of con- ditions on the route would be appreciated; contact Dean’s Office, Parkhurst Hall, (603) 646-2243. This is an athletic and picturesque climb that (for nostalgic reasons) should be included in the 50 Classic Climbs of North America. Views from the summit stretch southward toward the bucolic Connecticut River valley and north to Mt. Cube, Moosilauke, and the beckoning Presidential Range. The overall flavor is of moderate exposure on solid rock, with the main limitation being the absence of protection on much of the route. Approach via the Appalachian Trail to the well-worn path south of the Tower, and circle the tower to its NW corner near Kiewit. The first pitch is quite 1 vertical on offset mortised brick, offering ⁄2-inch hand and toeholds to below the second-story over- hang. Protection is available at this point using the painter’s bolt in the eaves. A difficult 5.9 mantle move surmounts the overhang (there is a good hand- hold in the unseen gutter above). From this point, ascend the ridgeline (Class 3, friction) to the next vertical section, climbed in identical fashion to the first.
