Water Works.
Off-campus technical glitches precluded a Corner yesterday. Thank you for your patience. More than 5,000 sessions in October....far surpassing previous months! Here's the view from my office window:
The trench cutting through Main Street will continue across campus, northward, all the way up 3000 feet behind Johnson House on the south of Ragged Mountain, where we're building a 100,000 gallon cistern. 12-inch pipes are stacked everywhere. When the job is done, and they open a valve (installed yesterday) next to Proctor Block later this month, 100,000 gallons of treated water from the Bradley Lake tank (one mile south--also 100,000 gals--and at exactly the same altitude) will flow by gravity feed across the Blackwater Valley up to the new cistern, and fill it. The town will have doubled its water capacity and volume, and the Meetinghouse, Fowler Learning Center, and Fieldhouse will meet fire codes without individual reservoirs.
Students in Patty Pond's geometry are eating cake. Note the Middlesex sweatshirt. Some schools attempt to legislate school spirit by forbidding other school's stuff. That's stupid.
Director of Athletics Rigo Nunez and senior Ian Gill soak up some rays in front of Maxwell Savage this morning.
