In his application Zihan wrote, “I am excited about asking students questions at Holderness for I will then know them better.” He also applied with the hope that he could “write more current events for The Picador because there are so many things going on in the world, and many of these things are completely ignored by us.” Celeste Holland ’14 has other ideas to contribute, but began her application with praise for The Picador: “Over the past three years The Picador has been able to balance the new features and classic faculty questions with both humorous and serious articles…[The editors] do a great job working

Bangladeshi Clothing Factory Collapses, Killing 900 More than 900 bodies have been pulled from the rubble of a Bangladeshi clothing factory complex that collapsed April 24, police say.

Bangladesh's worst industrial disaster has sparked nationwide anger and mass protests, as many garment workers allege they were forced to work by the owners despite huge cracks appearing in the building.

after a power cut, sending powerful vibrations throughout the building, which— together with the vibration of thousands of sewing machines — triggered the collapse. The building had been constructed with weak materials, such as sub-standard steel rods, Mr Khandaker added, which meant it could not withstand the vibrations. The architect of the building has said it was designed to house shops and offices rather than factories or industrial

Fukushima Cleanup Will Take Decades and Will Cost Billions On March 19, the New York Times reported that, “The stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant this week experienced its worst power failure since the disaster there in 2011, and though the plant’s operator said all electricity was restored by early Wednesday, the problem underlined its continuing vulnerability.” On May 1, 2013, a month and a half later, Time magazine commented that “Fukushima’s nuclear cleanup is faltering.” According to the magazine, “TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Co), the owner of the Fukushima nuclear plant, can’t simply dump the irradiated groundwater into the nearby sea — the public outcry would Page 4

(CNN) -- As our graphic illustrates, there are stark contrasts in the cost of making clothes in Bangladesh, compared to the U.S. The garment industry accounts for 77% of Bangladesh's exports -- a $20 billion industry for the nation. The European Union, Bangladesh's largest trade partner, said Tuesday that it was considering trade action against Bangladesh. U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said businesses that operated in the collapsed building “appear to have links to numerous companies in the U.S. and Europe.” He added they would work with U.S. companies on “improving working conditions, including in Bangladesh.”

The EU has said it is considering “appropriate action” to encourage an improvement in working conditions in Bangladesh's factories, including the use of its trade preference system, which gives Bangladesh duty- and quota-free access to markets in member states. Rescuers say they are planning to wrap up their work on Friday, and the rubble will then be shifted by bulldozers. Source: BBC News

The Picador The Prom: The Most Stressful Event in High School theless, they have thought about it.

By Chance Wright ’14 On May 11th, at the Owl's Nest Golf Club, Holderness School will hold an event known to cause heightened stress among teens: prom.

Prom hasn’t always been like this though; a Holderness School faculty member who went to Exeter said that prom wasn't a big deal. He did have a date, who was his girlfriend, so that wasn’t a factor, yet he did say that not everyone had a date and that “it wasn’t a huge deal; you could go with some buddies or even by yourself.”

The prom is known across America as a time when high school students celebrate the end of the year with a formal dinner/dance type gathering. For some, this is the most stressful event of their high school careers. ple that attended prom toDates are the main cause of gether: “There’s no time of the stress.

It intensifies peer

pressure over issues of inclusion and exclusion. Some common stresses include, Will I get a date? Will my choice of a date change my reputation? Who will be excluded from the prom, and why?” But in a Holderness poll for upperclassmen, the date isn’t the only thing on students’ minds; the way that they ask their dates is quite important as well. The polls showed that about 40 percent of the responders (70 in all) will try to ask their dates in a special way; this leaves a solid 60 percent who will not ask their dates in a special way. None-

So whether the prom causes your pulse to quicken and your palms to sweat or makes you want to yawn and turn on another episode of the Kardashians, it only comes once a year. The food is good, the bus ride away from campus is liberating, and the photographs will last a lifetime. So come hang out at Owl's Nest on Saturday night, with a date or alone, and dance your stress away!

New England Sports By Axi Berman ’13 This week in Boston sports marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. The Celtics, in what could be their final run with their current group of players, were eliminated by the Knicks in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Meanwhile, the revitalized Red Sox are 21 and 11 as of Tuesday. Hopefully they will maintain their dominance in the coming months. And in hockey, the Bruins are up 3-1 in their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Will they again have the opportunity to play for the Stanley Cup? Go Sox! Go Pats! Go Bruins! Go Celtics! Go Revolution?

Holderness.

No matter if you are attending a public school, a private school, or a boarding school, having traditions within your educational institution is key to maintaining a close-knit community. Whether the tradition involves a senior prank, a senior skip day, or an object that has been passed down for generations, they are always important.

“The Stones Chapel gets about a 50% reading on the student meter, in my opinion,” Mr. Barton explained. “The wall is not well formed up there, and so it lacks the full buy-in by students. In other words, I think that students say, ‘The wall is a joke to look at, so why should I care at all about my stone?’”

Here at Holderness School, we have many traditions that are still alive, as well as many traditions that have long been forgotten. There is one tradition that has always aroused my interest: seniors bringing rocks to their last outdoor chapel at Holderness School. Never before Holderness have I seen a tradition like this, and I was intrigued to delve deep into the community to figure out the roots of this relatively new tradition. I wanted to know who brought the tradition to the school, why it was brought, and most importantly, how it has been received by the Holderness community.

The tradition has meant a lot to me, and I later been alive for over 10 years, told them both about Alex’s and he believes that it is a nice thoughtful act of kindness and way to begin the goodbyes to respect. the seniors.

Mr. Barton also believes that if the community wants to maintain this tradition in the future it “needs some refining.” He suggests that the wall of rocks be constructed in a more professional manner, in affect granting the tradition more importance and meaning to the community. The chief importance of tradition lies in the fact that it’s about a certain group; Mr. Barton stated, “It involves just the seniors and is suppose to be about legacy and long-term stuff.”

Book Reviews of The Art of Fielding By Ms. Cirone

By Gregory Cowles

As hints of spring air intermittently waft through our campus amid Nor’easters and mid-winter melts, it is impossible to ignore the Red Sox Nation’s hopes that the newly hired manager, John Farrell, will be able to revive his squad and create a bit more peace on Earth in New England next summer. What better time for us all to reconnect with our “inner boy” and read a handsomely-composed, fictional novel about the great American pastime of baseball? Let us please consider reading Chad Harbach’s The Art of Fielding.

To defenders of baseball and literary fiction, the charges against each are familiar, and overlapping: too slow, too precious, not enough action. The only realistic response is a resigned shrug. Guilty, and so what? You may as well complain that lemons are too yellow. The indictment amounts to a kind of category error; detractors went looking for entertainment, and found art instead. Chad Harbach makes the case for baseball, thrillingly, in his slow, precious and altogether excellent first novel, The Art of Fielding.

For a school like Holderness that encourages students to become lifelong athletes, it is appropriate to read about a Division III college baseball team from Wisconsin, where the love of the game is still pure: no scholarships, no press, low funding, and very few fans. Quite honestly, I have only recently begun to develop an appreciation for baseball and admit to jumping on the Red Sox bandwagon in ’04; I prefer the quick pace of hockey, which swallows mistakes in its speed and gives us all a second chance. In contrast, a ballplayer must become adept at facing a looming “Error” statistic on the scoreboard but somehow rally for the next play and resist crawling face-first into the dugout. There’s something we can all learn from that.

“You loved it,” he writes of the game, “because you considered it an art: an apparently pointless affair, undertaken by people with a special aptitude, which sidestepped attempts to paraphrase its value yet somehow seemed to communicate something true or even crucial about the human condition. The human condition being, basically, that we’re alive and have access to beauty, can even erratically create it, but will someday be dead and will not. If it seems a stretch for a baseball novel to hold truth and beauty and the entire human condition in its mitt, well, The Art of Fielding isn’t really a baseball novel at all, or not only. It’s also a campus novel and a bromance (and for that matter a full-fledged gay romance), a comedy of manners, and a tragicomedy of errors — the baseball kind as well as the other kind, which as Alexander Pope pointed out also has something to do with the human condition.

But in addition, Harbach’s story of these characters at the fictional Westish College experience realistic, life-changing, academic “Aha Moments” that are within every Holderness student’s reach. When Guert Affenlight is on the clock for his (Continued on page 11)

work-study job in the library, “he [finds] a thin sheaf of yellowed paper, tucked between two brittle magazines in the library’s non-circulating bowels…A visceral charge went through him when he read…” Folks, these instances of pure joy through intellectual discovery are why we teachers are teaching. Harbach’s characters are imperfect and relatable: they are passionate about American greats like Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman; they are intensely driven by sport; they stumble awkwardly through the nuances of college life and beyond. If a school-wide read is supposed to spark further conversation within the community beyond the “loved it” vs. “hated it” dualism, The Art of Fielding is an excellent choice.

If this isn’t happening, initiate some hugs yourself. People will love them. Virgo (August 23rd – September 22): You will find true love here at Holderness.
