It’s been more than a decade since I received my first edition replete with its black binding and subtle off white coloring. The color pictures are two; the girls JV crew team (probably third or fourth boat) carrying their coxswain and my boy Theron or T scratching an eyebrow and looking like a model trying to think more than a model thinker.
The E Book serves as a guide (covenant) and sets the standard of what is expected of you as an Exonian (abuse of the words sketchy and esoteric), with information (propaganda) you will need about Academy rules and policies (commandments). Please take the time to read this carefully (on penalty of stoning). You will find yourself referring to it frequently (when grinding up pharmaceuticals) when you have questions ranging from the out-of-town (liquor outsourcing) procedure and the discipline system (Latin Study inquisition) to the Grill hours (munchies with Nantucket Nectars chasing) and the best (stolen) bike route to the ocean (ball shrinkage).
The E-Book describes a wide variety of student clubs and organizations (Harkness Society), teams (up to bat), restaurants (that deliver during the afternoon), and things to do at Exeter and in the surrounding community (behind warehouses, across train tracks, and generally woody). We urge you to become invloved in those that interest you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Your dorm proctors (narcs), Student Listeners (college suck), faculty (wife swappers) and the Dean’s Office (grand inquisitors) are all here to help you.
The rules and policies of Phillips Exeter Academy are set by the trustees, faculty, and administration, and may be revised without notice (or consent) during the school year.
That picture looks like it was shot in the 70’s. I’ve never seen two kids more thrilled to be around a microscope.
