This past Saturday night, we were able to put on our boots and cowboy hats for something other than a gymkhana event. Instead of going to the barns, everyone was showing up at the Pergola in flannels and jeans to enjoy our very own Thacher Southern Night! The activities included a cook-off, bobbing for corn, more »
Weekend Activites: From Pentatonix to Diamond Hitch
by cmulchay on 07. May, 2012 in Casey '13
This weekend has been so exciting for students on the Thacher campus! The Ojai Tennis Tournament was going on throughout Ojai and on campus, but other activities went on as well. This Friday night, our director of concerts and lectures, Mrs. Halsey, brought in Pentatonix to perform on our stage. It was so amazing to more »
Spirit week!
by Emiliano '13 on 07. May, 2012 in Emiliano '13
Spirit week is here, yay! Spirit week is probably one of the most fun times at Thacher, because while on the one hand we are in the midst of one of the longest stretches at Thacher, due to being between spring break and summer vacation, it’s also jam-packed with fun events and amazing activities. Among more »
Singing in the Spring. That is, Spring Sing
by cmulchay on 07. May, 2012 in Casey '13
This year, I am one of three directors of the spring musical called the Spring Sing. The Spring Sing is a completely student-run production, with one faculty advisor, where we can perform anything we want! I have been in the cast of the Spring Sing during my freshman and sophomore years, and last year, the more »
April Foolin’
by Katherine '12 on 16. Apr, 2012 in Katherine '12
Just a few days ago, the year’s greatest holiday came and went – April Fools Day. Throughout my time at Thacher, I’d never really understood why people liked April Fools so much. Yes, the pranks were clever, but I never quite got the hype. This year, I finally came to understand. Directly after check-in, the more »
Ultimate Frisbee
by Melanie '13 on 02. Apr, 2012 in Melanie '13
Usually, when the dark clouds begin to gather and roll in over the hills, I inwardly and selfishly hope that rain will not follow. However, as the rain came pouring down this weekend, I did not stay huddled up inside to keep dry and warm. Instead, I joined a group of my friends and two more »
Let’s Take a Look: Second Visits
by Jillian '14 on 02. Apr, 2012 in Melanie '13
With the current onslaught of second visits, it reminds me of my own. The ability to see the campus and meet all of the kind students made me like Thacher even more. Aside from the physical beauty, everyone welcomed me and said hello. While I never toured Thacher, I can imagine it’s not the same more »
The Final Countdown
by Emiliano '13 on 02. Apr, 2012 in Emiliano '13
Dearest reader, to fully understand what a Thacher student feels like going into the last trimester of his junior year, one must undoubtedly have either a great understanding of the Europe song, “The Final Countdown,” or must have it playing on speakers near you (don’t worry, I’ve supplied the link at the bottom). Which is more »
Patton’s Cabin
by Melanie '13 on 23. Feb, 2012 in Melanie '13
Patton’s cabin is a quaint, one room cabin in the middle of the Sespe wilderness. It is one of those places that the majority of the Thacher community has been to at one time or another, whether it be on an EDT or weekend camping trip. It is obvious that the small cabin holds many more »
Curtains
by Lili '14 on 23. Feb, 2012 in Lili '14
As soon as the curtains closed on our final production of the winter musical, Curtains, I felt both an immense weight lifted off my shoulders and overflow of emotions. Curtains was a musical like no other at Thacher; we had the biggest cast with the least amount of time. Since before winter break, the cast more »
