Campus Spotlight The Peabody Museum
Warren
Moorehead, in all likelihood, didn’t expect that there’d be a museum display dedicated to him 70 years after his death. As a part of Theodore Roosevelt’s Indian Affairs Commission, Moorehead recorded the damaged land of the White Earth Reservation and its perpetrators. In his efforts to expose these corrupt agents, he risked his life. As a thank you, the Native Americans of White Earth presented him with a token of their appreciation: a bandolier bag. Today, the intricately beaded bag remains on display at the Robert S. Peabody Museum in Andover, commemorating Moorehead’s brave endeavors.
The Robert S. Peabody Museum is preparing to close this coming season for renovations. To meet new fire codes, an emergency egress on the second floor and a ramp outside will be built. The museum will close this September and plans on reopening in December. Article by Hunter Ryan
But, the Robert S. Peabody Museum holds more than just Moorehead’s story and bandolier bag. Today, it houses over 500,000 objects for display. Robert Peabody, a graduate of the Phillips Academy class of 1857, founded the museum in 1901. His mission: to promote archaeological enthusiasm among the Andover student body. Over time, various artifacts have been donated or purchased to expand the museum’s collection. Today, it primarily holds Native American artifacts, including projectile points, Chief Sitting Bull’s horned spoon, an elaborate display of Pecos Pueblo, ancient corn kernels, and a fishweir—a long, wooden stake. Prior to 2001, the museum was open to the general public. Due to a lack of public interest, however, its artifacts are now used primarily for educational purposes. Phillips Academy is the only high school in America that is affiliated with a museum. During the academic terms, students contribute “work duty” hours at the Peabody. Just last year, in fact, Phillips Academy students assembled a small display. Educators who work at the museum also allow students to handle artifacts with gloves and proper equipment. The museum works closely with social science, history, and literary classes to offer students outside-theclassroom learning experiences. “In history books, how do you know something is true?” asked Lindsay Randall, a full time educator at the museum for two and a half years. “We give someone who lived a few hundred years ago a voice.”

Commons: Not Just a Place To Munch BY MARLEE ESSES
Through days compiled of classes, activities,
and walking all over the gorgeous campus of Phillips Academy in Andover, students become hungry. Food is essential to allow students to get through the day, and let’s not overlook the social facet of it. Paresky Commons is always loud and full of activity, as everyone loves getting to know and mingle with one another. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are three parts of each day that everyone looks forward to. Monday through Saturday, students love walking over to the Commons from their dorms to get something nutritious. To prevent a grumbling stomach in class, students enjoy helping themselves to an assortment of breakfast items, such as: pancakes, eggs, fruit, yogurt, and bread. Victor Garcia, a cook, says that he prepares the most pancakes because they seem to be the preferred breakfast option. “I love cooking here,” Garcia says. “I try to make the food of all different cultures.” Since breakfast is held on the second floor only, it is busy and crammed full. However, it is exciting to meet with everyone prior to the day ahead! After major and minor classes comes most students’ best loved meal of the day: lunch. Phillips Academy is generous in serving a wide variety of foods so that each and every person can eat something that they like. Food service director Mike Giampa says, “I want to make sure everyone is happy. Everyone can have something to relate to.” There is Asian, Italian, French, Chinese, and Dominican cuisines. “Mexican, Asian, and Italian food seems to be the most popular,” Giampa says. “Coming to eat is an event. Food brings everyone together.” On a typical day during lunch, students can be seen sit-
ting with people that speak their language and have common backgrounds. However, at other tables, students who live on separate sides of the world and who have just met recently are also socializing and getting to know each other. During lunch, not only is it nice to sit down and eat, but getting to know the students around you is also pleasant as well. Once the day begins winding down, dinnertime starts coming around. Students meet each other outside or inside Paresky Commons to exchange what has gone on during everyone’s day. Spanish, Greek, French, Chinese, Japanese, and many other languages can be heard all throughout the Commons. The food also represents the different cultures that occupy Phillips Academy. This diversity opens up people’s minds, as most are used to their worlds at home with food they are familiar with, people they know, and languages they hear all day. Eridania Taveras, who is on the janitorial staff, says, “The kids are sometimes messy. They are very nice. They really enjoy pasta.” Dinner is a time that brings everyone together before a new day begins all over again.

THE PARESKY COMMONS: NOT JUST A PLACE TO MUCH (BY MARLEE ESSES)
e e r e F m i T Where Should We Go? BY VERDA UYAR All students attending Phillips Academy Summer Session wait for the weekends to come. That’s because they get the chance to have fun and relax after working so hard throughout the week. The directors offer students plenty of diverse options for fun on Saturdays and Sundays. For instance, those who are interested in history may choose to visit museums, while others may prefer shopping or sunbathing at the beaches. “I think that the trips and all student activities are essential because they give students some time away from campus,” says Chris Capano, the student activities coordinator. “The events also give students a chance to meet and interact with students outside of the dorm and classroom so maybe you’ll get to meet and make friends with someone you might not have known before. We send the students to places that are safe and they
are well supervised so they can have fun and do it in a safe way.” In the first two weeks of Summer Session, students visited the Loop shopping center, Canobie Lake Theme Park, the city of Boston and Hampton Beach. They signed up during “Milk and Cookies” during the week. No matter where they were going, they met at George Washington Hall to take their bus. The Loop trip was the first off-campus activity Summer Session offered and almost 200 students signed up. Of course, it was inevitable for the girls to see the movie “Eclipse” the third one of the Twilight series. The other ones spent their time shopping. The second week, despite poor weather conditions, students went to Canobie Lake Theme Park from 4pm until 11pm. For seven
12
e e r e F m i T
hours, they experienced different kinds of adventures by going on the Roller Coaster, the Turkish Twist or the Zero Gravity. There were also several places to buy souvenirs from the park. Many students felt that the trip should have started earlier so people would be able to stay longer, but it was obvious that everybody had a lot of fun. On Sunday July 11th, some students went to Hampton Beach for four hours and enjoyed the sun and the sea, while others took a tour of Boston, having fun while learning the history of the town. Mr. Capano says that only 24 students went on the tour and personally, he expected more students to participate. “All of the trips are popular in their own way,” he says. “The shopping trips get the most students, but the trips to the theme park and water park also get lots
13
of students. The more historical trips usually get fewer kids, but those kids are usually very enthusiastic.” There are still three weeks waiting for us to work hard and have fun at the same time. In the following weeks, there are more chances to shop at the malls and outlets, and there are also interesting activities such as a whale watch and a trip to Water Country. “I think the trips are pretty good as is, but I’m always looking to make things better,” says Mr. Capano. “I’m trying to schedule more trips that include shopping and something historical so students can have fun, hang out, and shop but also get to see a bit of Boston, which is a great city.”
From Dunkin’ Donuts to a Main Street salon, Starbucks to our beloved CVS, Downtown Andover is the place to be. “I like that everything is close,” says Montse Tarrago. In fact, it is hard to imagine what our experiences would be like here without simple access to these stores. “You can get pretty much anything you need—CVS, food at Bertucci’s, or even a haircut,” says Karan Mirchandani. Starbucks cashier Brittany Stone says, “We’re really busy with Phillips Academy kids, especially in the afternoons. We get a lot of kids during the year, but many during the summer as well. Summer kids are respectable but they have a problem cleaning up after themselves,” she says with a laugh. Many students love going to Starbuck’s on Sundays and ordering a frappuccino or a treat such as a slice of their classic coffee cake. Bruna Rogano says, “I get a frappuccino and breakfast on Sundays. I go with friends from my dorm. My favorite is the double chocolate chip! It is so good!” Other students prefer Dunkin’ Donuuts. “I love the hospitality there,” says Greg Kirk. “It’s a good walk and good exercise getting there. It 14
burns calories and I need to burn off my sandwich. I get two sausage and egg croissants with no cheese,” Karan Mirchandani says. “It is good that Dunkin’ Donuts is close by, but it’s a hassle walking back because you feel full. It is usually air-conditioned and people there are relatively nice.” Students are also lucky to be in walking distance from CVS, the second largest pharmacy in the United States. Open 24/7, CVS has it all: toothbrushes, cereal, make up, umbrellas, and sodas are just some items that attract Summer Session students. “It is convenient because it is right there, but it is not cheap at all,” says Sofia Maurina. “I spent so much for a calling card, some shampoo, and some water! It is $1.49 for the cheapest water!” Basak Feyzioglu says, “I go every week, once or twice, for food or stuff for homework.” Downtown Andover is a definite advantage for all of us at Phillips Academy. It is a nice walk, and we can get all of our necessities or have an amusing time shopping for souvenirs. “I like Main Street,” says Cansu Mustecaplioglu. “I think it’s peaceful, I realize I am away from my home (Istanbul), a big city. There is no traffic, no voices. It makes me comfortable. I have fun with my friends at all of the stores.” Main Street is a component that makes our adventures here in Andover even more fulfilled than they are already. By: Marlee Esses

World Cup 2010 South Africa...
...At Andover 16
World Cup Fever Grips Summer Session BY MERCY LARA EMOTIONS AND CELEBRATION erupted on Sunday at the World Cup Final. For the first time the Spanish team went to the last round after a head goal from Puyol against Germany classified them on Wednesday. For students and faculty, the semifinal was transmitted in the Den while the Final was transmitted both at the Den and Kemper Auditorium. The celebration started as soon as the referee whistled. Throughout the game the Spanish fans kept singing the famous “Camarero” (Waiter) song and the ones who didn’t know it tried to keep up. The Den was completely divided into two sides. The left side was where the Spanish followers were congregated while the right side was filled by Netherlands’ supporters, most of them French students. The most dedicated Spanish fans opted to paint their bodies and faces with the colors of their flag. The Netherlands fans weren’t wearing the orange color that characterizes their team but they were extremely loud. The game went on violently and ref Howard Webb handed out 14 yellow cards and one red. Nigel De Jong committed the worst foul when he kicked Spanish player Xavi Alonso in the chest. The reaction made the spectators stay speechless when the cameras gave a closer look to the incident. The moment when everybody’s hearts stopped was when Rubben was left in the front of the Spanish goalie post with the ball and failed to kick. Immediately afterwards the rivals kneeled and chanted the Spanish goalie’s name, Casillas, while the supporters were astonished by the lost opportunity. No goals were scored during the stipulated two halves and the winner had to be decided in extra time. Both sides at the Den seemed to be worn out; the public remained in Their seats for
the first time during the entire match. Before the extra time started people ran to buy chips, water, ice cream and the famous Den cookies. They got prepared for what was the defining moment of the event where one of these teams would be designated the World Champions. The same feeling of desperation kept soaking the fans until Webb gave Netherlands’ number 3 Heitinga the red card and the player abandoned the field. The winning goal came from Andres Iniesta four minutes before the extra time was over and the game was to be decided by penalty shots. At this very moment it seemed like the Den was on fire. Spanish fans hugged each other, jumped from their seats and stood in front of the screen while the rest of the Spanish fans were almost to the point of tears. Lola Abrahams celebrated the victory of her team after she said earlier in the game, “If Spain wins I would be really happy and I would wear the Spanish shirt for the whole week.” After the game she said excitedly, “I am very proud. I didn’t expect Spain to win after they had lost their first game against Switzerland.” At the end, Spain owned the World Cup while at the Den the Spaniards left waving their flag.

Have you ever judged where people come from, by looking at their clothing? Have you ever stereotyped them? I have. I began researching what people wear, in order to prove that we could figure out the nationalities of others by looking at what they wear. My mission was to see if there really was a difference in how people dress. In the 41 countries that are represented at Phillips Andover Academy, we see much variation in clothing and style. Many of the students at the school have similar opinions concerning their clothing and the clothing of others. Many of the descriptions that the European, American, Asian, Latino, and African American students made of their own wardrobe were very similar to each other. We teenagers are all going through the same things and have comparable likings. It is likely that we are all influenced by the same TV shows and advertisements. We are persuaded to buy related clothing brands. We want to look our best. “Appearance is all that matters,� says Katherine Annesi, a 16 year old student from Italy. What she says is true; we are all going through an awkward stage in our lives where looks play a large role. The harder I tried to prove that we were all different the more I found out how alike we truly are. No matter the, culture, friends, subject we study, we all share the same language of fashion.
