In the final week of summer session, theft persists. On Tuesday, $200 was stolen from Kirtland House, and $100 was stolen from Lamont Hall on July 28th. The two victims both admitted that they had left their doors unlocked. Since both were smaller sums of money, the students have been on the lookout forit in case it was just misplaced in their dorms.

This is it. The end is near. It is time for you to say your goodbyes. You sure read that right. Exeter Summer is coming to an end. Students have been here for almost five weeks and many have grown attached, not only to this place Exeter and the Academy, but also to the people who inhabit this wonderful campus. Exeter has allowed us to create lifelong friends, and the experiences here have all been unforgettable. When students realize the summer program is coming to a close, many of the…

Frenemies

“We’re basically brothers,” said Deniz Yaveroglu, looking at his friend. “Agreed,” replied George Antonopoulus, without even skipping a beat. These two friends are like most at Exeter, but what makes their friendship special is that they are not supposed to be friends at all. George, from Webster dorm, and Deniz, from Amen dorm, met each other while playing soccer during PE. Initially they related over their love for futbol, but soon found out that their friendship ha…

“I fell asleep in my closet last night because it was so hot,” said Carlotta Catapano, a student at Exeter Summer who is suffering from the recent heat wave. Summer at Exeter has been heating up, but the worst has hopefully come to an end! Carlotta lives on the fourth floor of Bancroft facing the sun with no fan. You can understand how she must be feeling! “I didn't think not having a fan would ever be a problem because I could sleep well, but the temperature has been rising," she said…

We Animals Have Rights Too

July 30, 2022 2:36pm | Sihyun Park, Megan Su and Kai Fan

Animal rights have been a contentious issue ever since people first started domesticating goats over ten thousand years ago. With rising populations, disease became a rampant problem. This was followed by the realization of a need to research the human anatomy to treat diseases. People like Aristotle, Erasistratus, and Galen recognized this importance and devoted their lives to the research of human anatomy. Instead of dissecting people, which was illegal, they dissected animals. Testing and r…

From Thailand, to Exeter -- and now to Carnegie Hall. Claire Charanachitta has done it all. After spending two weeks at Exeter, Claire is off to play piano at Carnegie Hall -- and for the second time. The city was to welcome Claire for a solo performance on Tuesday. She was selected to play along with about fifty other musicians after entering an extremely selective application process. This will not be the first time that Cl…

THE FIRST WIN AS A TEAM

July 21, 2022 7:16pm | Luis Sabater

The PEA Soccer Team won a very difficult and tight game against some very good rivals like the Exeter Blue Hawks. It was a victory worked by each of the players and would result in a 1-0 score. Tuesday’s afternoon match developed slightly slow perhaps, but that scheme would be broken when the desired PEA goal arrived in a fantastic play and definition by the left winger, Lucas. The team showed commitment and union despite not having such a colorful game. In a few words from…

Happy 4th — UH, 16th of July!

July 21, 2022 4:33pm | Selim Affes, Marela Cortés

Bulletin: America's birthday has been delayed. That's right. Here in Exeter the Fourth of July was actually celebrated July 16th, when the annual American Independence Festival celebrated the Declaration of Independence in this town. This Festival has a very interesting and unique origin. The Declaration of Independence was signed, of course, on the 4th of July 1776, and in consequence, most of the United States celebrates Independence day then. But back in the day,– It might be hard but t…

Remembering a Bold Pioneer of the Sky:
My Ancestor “Red Baron” Von Richtofen

July 21, 2022 4:17pm | Alicia G. Freiin Von Richthofen

What turns a soldier into a war hero? Is it his bravery, his tenacity or his superiority on the battlefield? With nearly over 80 confirmed kills while serving as a fighter pilot for Germany during the First World War, Manfred von Richthofen (1892-1918 and a distant relative) was regarded as the ace of aces. Despite the fact that the war was over a century ago, the Red Baron's legacy has withstood the test of time, with his name still ringing a bell within a vast population. The first a…
