A Day-in-the-Life... If you've ever yearned to be a fly-on-the wall during a typical day at Nobles, the Communications Office has opened the door to let you follow four students and two faculty members from pre-breakfast to the return trip home (whether by car, bus or quick walks to or from Wiggins Hall or on-campus housing). 2 l THE NOBLES BULLETIN l SPRING 2010
Taylor Blake, CLASS II HOMETOWN: Gardner, Mass. ADMITTED FROM: Overlook Middle School, Ashburnham, Mass. The old adage, “Home is where the heart is,” suits Taylor Blake better than almost any other. Born in Canada, Taylor now lives in Gardner, Mass., with her family—at least on weekends and school vacations. During the week, you’ll find her in Wiggins Hall. As a boarder, Taylor considers campus not just her “home away from home” but her primary connection to the Nobles community. Regardless of where she may be, everyone who knows Taylor says that she is truly at home on the ice when she’s playing the sport she loves. Whether she’s winding down in the dorm or gearing up for a hockey game, Nobles is the backdrop to much of Taylor’s life. 7:36 a.m. – The alarm goes off in Wiggins Hall, Room 206. Taylor and roommate Denna Laing ’10 move about their shared space, doing a type of dance only close friends could choreograph in order to get themselves ready for the day. Within minutes, Taylor loads up her book bag, grabs a Chewy granola bar and heads out the door towards Shattuck Schoolhouse. “Everyone in the dorm has her own routine, so the hustle is pretty staggered, especially in the morning,” she explains. “You’d think there’d be more chaos with 15 girls sharing one bathroom, but it really isn’t an issue.” 7:58 a.m. – She picks up the pace, dropping her bag in the Class II alcove, and racing down Baker Street to get to Assembly. On this particular morning, a faculty member plucks Taylor from the corridor and asks her to help out by taking Class II attendance. She meticulously eyes the rows of students, checking off who is in his or her seat on time. After Assembly, she heads to the Animal Rights Club meeting, where “Home is where the heart is,” suits Taylor Blake better than almost any other. As a boarder, Taylor considers campus not just her “home away from home” but her primary connection to the Nobles community. Science teacher Dominic Manzo checks up on lab partners, Taylor Blake, center, and Kate Makaroff, both ’11. SPRING 2010 l THE NOBLES BULLETIN l 3
