In our January notes, attention was called to an 1898 report of a new telephone connecting the offices of Doctors Gile and Smith to the drug stores. In the June 10th issue appears this note, "One of the village abuses is, it seems to us, the public telephone. It is not incased in any way and one may not speak on any confidential matter without being overheard. Telephones are becoming very commonly used for middle distance talking, and here in Hanover it is used a great deal, or would be were it properly housed in one of the company's boxes. This is a vital improvement which should be looked to at once."

Another note reads, "Telephonic connection between the hotel and the railroad station would enable great inconveniences to be avoided, by not only giving a means for ordinary communication, but also allowing many needless trips to be saved, in winter especially, when the trains are often many minutes, and sometimes many hours, late."

Precursor of the mink coat era: "Lost in Hanover or Norwich on Sunday March 27, while driving, an imitation fur and seal tippet or shoulder cape. Five dollars reward will be paid upon delivery at the office of the Wheelock Hotel in Hanover."

The above completes our review of the events of our freshman and sophomore years.
