Above, Jake Manoukian and Lane...   View
	11/1/2008 - This past Saturday night over sixty students and faculty traveled down to New Hampton to support our football team as they played the Huskies under the lights.

	10/31/2008 - "Let's see if we can make the students smile this Halloween," was the challenge that Sandy Hobbs gave her colleagues in housekeeping yesterday.

	10/30/2008 - As a school with a strong snow-sports program, the first snow of the season is generally met with excitement and certainly familiarity. For some members of our community, however, it's met with wonder. Mr. Magalhaes, who hails from Brazil, had his first encounter with the white stuff yesterday, to the amusement of his spouse and others. ...   View
	10/29/2008 - Every fall, dozens of representatives come on campus to talk to our seniors (and sometimes a few juniors) about the opportunities available at their colleges. It's an important part of the college process, a challenging and sometimes anxiety-inducing reality for our seniors, but one navigated with the aid of our able college counseling staff overseen by Chris Day.

	10/27/2008 - With Halloween just around the corner, one of this past weekend's activities involved carving out pumpkins. What became a spirited competition between dorms produced some "interesting" (if not scary) results, as I hope you'll agree. Pictured working on their pumpkins are Paul Clark '10, Casey Powell '11, Lily Ford '12, Sam Leech '11, Dillon Corkran '10 and Scott Nelson...   View
	10/26/2008 - Last night in the Hagerman auditorium, hypnotist Steve Taubman practiced his craft on the students of Holderness. Whatever your take on hypnotism, the show certainly kept the crowd entertained, as hypnotized students - in spite of themselves (?) - did some pretty wild stuff. Thanks to Dr. Taubman for again keeping us amazed and entertained. ...   View
