This Is Dartmouth College DARTMOUTH COLLEGE ROWING 2008-09 The Dartmouth Experience Ask any member of the Dartmouth family to define this phrase, and most will struggle for the precise words. That's because every Dartmouth Experience, like every log in the Homecoming bonfire and every snowflake in the Winter Carnival snow sculpture, is somewhat similar yet distinctly different. The Dartmouth Experience is formed by the College's many traditions, like Dartmouth Outing Club Trips in the New Hampshire wilderness, where the newest members of the Dartmouth community are baptized and bonded through hiking boots, backpacks, trail mix - and friendships. Or when the entire freshman class dons jerseys emblazoned with their class year and stands for an entire football game. It's also the multitude of encoun- ters that flavor everyday life at Dartmouth. The Dartmouth Experience comes in the classroom and late-night study sessions in the '02 Room in Baker Library, when 200 pages of reading suddenly makes perfect sense. It's the camaraderie on the river, in the locker room and on the bus rides back to Hanover after a race. It's thoughtful discussions with some of the nation's brightest minds, who turn out to be peers as well as professors. TABLE OF CONTENTS It's criss-crossing the trails at the Dartmouth Skiway, hiking to the top of Mount Moosilauke or walking along scenic Occom Pond. It's watching as the bulk of your wardrobe of sweatshirts and sweaters gradually is transformed into one predominant The Dartmouth Experience . 1 color - Dartmouth green.

    TOWN OF HANOVER NEW HAMPSHIRE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2012 & 2013 TOWN MEETING ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Voting: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Business Meeting: 7:00 p.m. Hanover High School Gymnasium 41 Lebanon Street HANOVER PUBLIC WORKS IN REMEMBRANCE In early February, 2013, the Town of Hanover lost a dear friend when Terry Jillson passed away. For nearly 30 years Terry was the face of the Hanover Water Works Company. Terry was always professional, loyal, dedicated, always smiling, and able to answer every question posed to her about water billing, water quality or what was happening with Hanover’s drinking water. Terry believed that the customer always came first and was the consummate professional in every interaction she had with the public. Even while Terry struggled as her health declined, she continued to be an invaluable presence in the Hanover Public Works Department, providing guidance and encouragement to fellow employees. Those fortunate enough to have interacted with Terry were blessed by her guidance, dedication and wit. Hanover will miss you Terry. In the second week of February, 2013 our Public Works family lost a second member when Robert “Bob” Henry, Sr. passed away. Bob worked in the Grounds Division as a crew leader and was responsible for grounds care of all of the Town cemeteries and Town buildings. Bob was an excellent handy-man capable of completing many grounds repairs including building picnic tables and benches. Bob particularly enjoyed repairing cemetery grave stones which had fallen into disrepair.
