Spring

by on 07. May, 2012 in Emily '15

Thacher is definitely telling me it is Spring. Warmer weather with an average of 70 F, there are orange blossoms blooming everywhere and bees flying around them (with the help of our new bee hive at Carp.). Our pool is starting to fill up with people during the weekends, and more people are just simply outside, basking more »

Singing in the Spring. That is, Spring Sing

by 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!

Coming Together

by on 16. Apr, 2012 in Adam '15

Gymkhana has made me see my horse, and the riding program in a totally new way. I am nowhere near being a good gymkhana rider, but the season has shown me how many skills I have learned this year. I finished the rescue race. It lended a sense of accomplishment to me. This season is more »

Gymkhana!!

by on 16. Apr, 2012 in Lucy '13

Yesterday my friend and I packed up our cameras and water bottles and jogged out to the Gymkhana field to capture gymkhana in action. As we arrived we waved hi to our friends, freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who were boarded upon sweating and excited horses. Country music blared from the speakers at the far more »

by 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 »

Patton’s Cabin

by 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 »

It has only been a few weeks back at Thacher and already we’ve had a number of wonderful speakers/ visitors. Frequently, we have speakers of numerous professions give lectures or workshops. I enjoyed learning from visiting poet, Bruce Smith, who taught English classes, recited his poems, lead discussions, held workshops, and more. Another recent was more »

Happy to be back!

by on 22. Jan, 2012 in Lucy '13

“I missed you” rings through the dorm as more and more girls return from winter break. While it is always fantastic, to see family, sleep-in, and eat home cooked meals, it’s equally fantastic to return to school after breaks. When your used to seeing your best friends everyday, three weeks truly feels like forever. Besides more »

Five Things

by on 22. Apr, 2011 in Lucy '13

I often find myself reflecting on how special and unique Thacher is, so I decided to make a list of five things that make Thacher the special and wonderful place that it is. 1. Where else could half the school sing along to a Disney song playing on the TV in your headmaster’s house on more »

Dirt under the nails

by on 10. Apr, 2011 in Katherine '12

If someone asked me to think of an iconic image of Thacher, I wouldn’t know where to start. There’s the silhouette of horses behind the fence of the lacrosse field as the sun sets over the Ojai Valley. There’s the group of students huddled around a table in the library cramming for another math test. more »
