The summer weather is in full swing, and the Phillips Exeter Academy Summer School has begun!

This year marks the Academy's 96th summer of welcoming youth from every quarter to its summer enrichment program. 784 students plan to attend the Access Exeter and Upper school programs, which is only one less than last summer's enrollment of 785 students. These students hail from 40 states and 48 coun-tries, and have come to take advantage of the Academy's offer-ings and to experience life away from home in an academically rigorous environment. 47 percent of this summer's student body is international, and 33 percent of the students will be receiving $1.5 million of the Summer School's financial aid. This year's financial aid budget is the largest ever for the Summer School.

280 middle school students take three courses arranged around a central theme. The Upper Schools enrolled 504 high school students, who can take up to three courses that range from humanities courses like Adventure Literature to science courses like Genetic Engineering.

With roughly 95 percent of the student body new to the school, the Summer Session continues to change and draw new students. "Summer School is more diverse than regular session and provides more opportunities for deserving kids every year," Director of Summer School Ethan Shapiro said. "It's a great way for kids to experience a challenging boarding environment without leaving home for good."

While 40 percent of the teachers of Summer School are instructors in the regular Exeter Session, the remaining instruc-tors are drawn from public and private schools, both day and boarding, and colleges and universities to teach for the next five weeks. These teachers utilize the Harkness method to lead discussions on course material, and encourage students to debate, collaborate, and discover around the Harkness table. When students are not learning in the classroom, they will participate in extracurricular activities, hang out on the quad, and form friendships with their dorm and classmates.

"My advice to students- you all deserve to be here- you've earned it. Work hard, play hard, try something new, have fun, meet as many people as you can because it goes by quickly!" Shapiro said.

Welcome to Exeter!

Things to Know when Living Away from HomeWelcome to boarding school! Life

away from home can be hard at times, so here are some tips to make your transition to life in the dorm as smooth as possible.

Make sure to keep your room clean and organized

A clean space is of the utmost impor-tance so that you can find your belongings quickly and easily. Organize your desk with pencil holders, calendars and make sure that you have a large supply of pens, pen-cils, erasers. Sweep your room regularly and be sure to empty your trash bin often

Buy a reliable alarm clockYou don’t want to miss class, so be

sure to buy a reliable clock that is easy to set and to turn off. If you have trouble getting up in the morning, try placing your alarm clock on the other side of the room, so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off in the morning.

Learn how to use the laundry ma-chines

Unless you have signed up for the E&R Laundry Service, you will have to wash your own clothes. Laundry machines

are usually located in the basements of dorms. When you go to do your laundry, slide the card into the reader, place your clothes in the main compartment and add detergent. Washing clothes takes 30 min-utes while drying them takes 45 minutes. Be sure to pick up your clothes right after they finish drying so that other people can use the machines.

Get Help from Dorm FacultyEach dorm has at least one faculty

member who lives there and they can be a great resource for you. You should go to

them first if you have any questions about the rules and regulations of the Academy. If you are having trouble in an academic subject, they can suggest possible tutors or, if they teach the subject themselves, can help you out in the dorm. It is also great to just take some time to sit in the common room and get to know faculty members. Some have great stories from their child-hood or college years that they are eager to tell students.

Remember that they are just as excited about Summer School as you are and truly want to get to know the students.

SCHEDULETHE SUMMER TIMES2 SUNDAY, JULY 6, 2014

Whether it’s a day trip or an overnight visit, before leaving campus, you must always take particular care to obtain proper permission. Out-of-town permissions may be requested for a Saturday afternoon, for a Sunday, or for a weekend (leaving after classes on Saturday) and may also be necessary for Wednesday afternoon day leaves. Boarding students are reminded that they may not ride in vehicles, including public transportation, without parental and Sum-mer Session permission. The Out-Of-Town Permission must be COMPLETED BY 1:00 P.M. on the Tuesday or Friday before your departure!

1. Obtain the O.O.T. Permission Form from your Advisor, Dorm Head or the Summer School Office.2. Remember that you must have both parental permission and a written invitation if you are staying with a family friend or relative. 3. Complete the form and have your Advisor sign the

form. If your Advisor is unavailable, you may ask another member of the dorm faculty to sign the form.4. Bring the completed form to the Summer School Office for approval.5. After receiving the Summer School’s approval, you must post the copy in your dormitory before your departure. NOTE: This process takes time, so plan ahead and

begin gathering your parental permission an d invita-tion early in the week. Do not wait until the last minute! Your request will be denied if you are late in completing the process. In case of an emergency, students should see their advisor and the dean-on-duty for a late permission. In all cases, if your plans change, please notify the Summer School Office and your advisor. If you have any questions about this process, please go to the Summer Session Office. They will be happy to help you.

DININGTHE SUMMER TIMES 3SUNDAY, JULY 6, 2014

Guide to exeter’s Finest dininG

Slightly set back from the bustle of Water Street, Green Bean is easily over-looked. However, i t has still managed to win over the hearts of many Exeter inhabitants with its home-made salads, soups and sandwiches, made fresh daily. Some of our favorites include the Gorgonzola Salad, the Turkey Cran-berry Stuffing Sandwich, the Mozzarella with Pesto and Tomato Sandwich, and

a summertime special, the Chilled Strawberry Soup. Their delicious chocolate chip and oatmeal rais in cookies washed down with freshly made strawberry lemonade or iced tea also make for a great afternoon snack.

Unfortunately, Green Bean does not deliver, but it does offer a view of the river inside and a brick pa-tio outside on warm, sunny days.

The Green Bean

In its time in Exeter, Las Olas has become one of the most popular food scenes with its fast, fresh and flavorful Mexican food. Each order is customized with the ingredients you want, from the type of meat to the type of beans and so on. The Pico de Gallo livens up any burrito or quesadilla and no Mexican dish is complete without their sizzling spicy salsa.

Unfortunately, its popularity means that the lunch or dinner line sometimes extends out the door, but the service is quick and you’ll be eating in no time. The bright colors and cleanliness are more pluses of the restaurant. All in all, Las Olas offers a belly-bursting meal for a very reasonable price.

Bonus: show your ID card and score a free fountain drink!

Pad Thai is a small and intimate Thai restaurant known for their authentic dishes and their gener-ous portions. Previously Pan Thai II, the restaurant underwent a few changes, including in name, after a switch in management. Although it can sometimes get crowded inside, their delivery service is always speedy.

Popular dishes include Pad Thai along with an appetizer of Scallion Pan-cakes (which come with the bonus of a side of Green Curry) and Thai Iced Tea, made from tea, condensed

mi lk and which comes with the option of tapioca “bubbles.”

We recommend trying County Style Chicken Ba-sil, a popular dish in Thai-land, or their house special Amazing Noodle (stir-fried wide noodles with ground chicken and veggies in a garlic chili sauce), and for dessert, the scrumptiously sweet Mango Sticky Rice. Their fried rice and rice noodles make Pad Thai an excellent option for people with gluten-free diets.

Call now for a reser-vation or to order out at 603-658-0130.

Pad Thai

Comfortable couches, great coffee and a relaxed atmosphere make it easy to spend an entire afternoon at Me and Ollie’s.

This bakery uses pure natural ingredi-ents with no additives or preservatives to produce fresh bread, pastries, soups and sandwiches every day. And they even give back to the community by supporting local causes and doing business with primarily locals.

Stop and have a Turkey Havarti Panini or a piece of Cinnamon Swirl, read about how they bake their bread (starting with wheat from Montana-based Bob the Farmer) on the wall, and enjoy taking a little time off.

Me and Ollie’s

Penang & Tokyo offers a multitude of cuisines in one restaurant, including Chinese, Japanese and Malaysian.

If you’re looking for variety, look no further, as Penang pres-ents you with over 300 options, from classics like Chicken and Broccoli and General Tso’s to their own specials like Crown’s Delight (shrimp, scallops, shred-ded chicken and beef all sautéed in a garlic sauce). Penang is one

of the few places in walking distance with sushi.

The lunch special, consist-ing of your choice of rice and soup with your entree, is a steal but only available from opening time at 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

We recommend topping off any meal with some of their Green Tea Ice Cream.

Eat in or order out, Penang is a great choice. Call today at 603-778-8388.

Have a sweet tooth? Try Stillwells Riverwalk Ice Cream!

Opened in the Spring of 2011, Stillwells became an instant hit with Phillips Exeter Students due to its proximity to campus, wide array of flavors and cheap prices. The small store, located beside the Acad-emy boathouse, offers an excit-ing list of 54 flavors, ranging from dairy free sorbet, sherbet, 95% fat free yogurt, and a few sugar free flavors. Although its selling point is its ice cream, Stilwells also carries Richie’s Italian Ice, which never fails to

offer a fun, sweet escape for a sweltering day.

If the plethora of choices doesn’t seem to somehow sati-ate your search for the ultimate flavor, Stillwells offers samples, so you are guaranteed to find a flavor for your palate. Different flavors run on “special” every week, as well.

Though the s tore has very little seating indoors, its proximity to Swasey Parkway means you can take a nice walk with your delicious treat or sit down on one of Swasey’s many benches.

The Phelps Science Center was built in 2001 with the intention of combining Harkness principles and state-of-the-art technology. It holds four common labs and 20 classrooms, each possessing a Harkness table, an adjoining lab area, seven computers and an audio-visual system able to project any computer or media source. These classrooms and equally divided into four wings: biology, chemistry, physics and multiscience.

A few notable distinctions of the Science Center include the complete humpback whale skeleton hanging in the rear atrium, a 900-gallon tropical aquarium in the lobby, a marine biology table, a Dickensen runway in the physics wing, a teaching garden and outdoor classroom, a computer lab and the 300-seat Grainger Auditorium.

Phillips Hall was built in 1932 as part of the Harkness Plan with gifts from Edward S. Harkness in 1930. Groups of 10 to 12 students were to en-gage in discussion around these tables with a teacher to guide them. This method has persisted and become the core of an Exeter education. Renova-tions in 2011-2012 included 13 custom-built Harkness tables, an elevator and a new heating-and-cooling system.

Phillips Hall is home to the Eng-lish and Modern Language depart-ments as well as the Daniel Webster Debating Room and the Elting Room.

Love Gymnasium, Thompson Gymnasium

These facilities house in total an im-pressive number of facilities, including two indoor swim-ming pools, two in-door hockey rinks, 14 squash courts, three basketball courts, a wrestling room, a dance studio, a weight room, a gymnastics room, an erg room, a cycling room, locker rooms and a training room. Attached on the side is Thompson Cage, a 1/11-mile indoor track facility with dirt floors that is also used by other sports for practice in bad weather. In addition, there is a suspended track above for training.

Other features of the gyms are the Ralph Lovshin Trophy Lobby, the photo room holding former team pictures and the Class of 1932 T.A.D. Jones Room.

Exeter also possesses extensive outdoor facilities, including the Ralph Lovshin Track, a 400-meter eight-lane all-weather outdoor track with a sand based interior field for soccer, 19 tennis courts, 22 playing fields for sports such as baseball, softball, foot-ball, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey, expansive cross country trails, batting cages and Phelps Stadium.

Phelps Stadium, pictured above, was dedicated in 1996 and has been replaced with artificial turf. Football, field hockey and lacrosse teams all play in this stadium. It contains team rooms, training rooms, bathrooms and dry storage. It is able to accommodate more than 5,000 spectators.

By the Squamscott River is the William C. Saltonstall Boathouse which holds an array of eight and four-oared shells, as well as several singles and doubles.
