  • THE HOOT Volume 1 October 2017 the Trip of a Lifetime by Elizabeth Mcgowan
    THE HOOT Volume 1 October 2017 The Trip Of A Lifetime By Elizabeth McGowan Timberlane gives many opportunities to students throughout the year. They give opportunities to go to shows, to get scholarships, and even to travel. This past summer one of these trips gave six Timberlane students the opportunity of a lifetime. On June 26th 2017, six Timberlane High School students and one chaperone boarded the airplane that brought them to Tanzania, Africa for 10 days, and these 10 days were days that they would never forget. However, the students preparation for this trip began long before June 26th. With a new country comes new diseases. In Tanzania there are many different diseases and viruses that you can contract that are very rare to get in the United States. For example, diseases and viruses such as malaria, hepatitis a, and typhoid are all much more common in Tanzania. Therefore, before going to Africa the students on the trip had to get the hepatitis a, and typhoid vac- cine, as well as take a malaria pill when they were on the trip. Tanzania, Africa is a very different place than the United States is. For example, in the United States you can rarely walk down the street without seeing someone in shorts, or a tight shirt. Howev- er, in Tanzania they are required to wear pants and it is looked down upon if you choose to wear tight clothing. Therefore, the students attending this trip packed solely pants, and loose shirts for the trip.

No, not the bells, the class trip to Adventurelore! Located in Danville, NH, the excursion took place in four waves of students from Monday, September 11th, to Thursday, September 14, 2017.

Four years ago, he endured a scary, unplanned overnight in mid-December. He agreed to show me where he’d hunkered down that night so that I could write this story. So we made our way to the ravine just north of Mount Eisenhower, where he’d spent that long night. We couldn’t drop down far enough, because we didn’t have the supporting snow underfoot. McGinness found a spot as low as he could reach to show the approximate arrangement. Nestled in the krummholz, it would have been a miserable experience, to be sure. We had made great time as we flew up the mountain, bounding strongly from rock to rock, gliding ever upward Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail.
