This past winter term, Exeter’s wrestling team proved that success isn’t measured in wins and losses, but rather in the hard work, team spirit, and progress shown both on and off the mat. Led by their two captains, seniors Jack Breaks and Becket Moore, as well as coaches Justin Muchnik, Bob Brown, and Tom Darrin, the team created a strong, supportive environment as they soldiered through a demanding season.

Every Thursday night, the dark brown turntable in the corner of the room spins, filling the space with the soft notes of a Colombian melody. The scent of tonka bean perfume lingers in the air, mixed with the citrusy tones of Earl Grey from the tea collection on her bookshelf. Two or three girls lounge on the velvety blue sofa along the wall, and more are huddled in a circle on the floor. Shoes are stacked in a big, messy pile by the door, and backpacks, binders, and notebooks lie scattered all across the carpet.

The couple. The myths. The legends. For almost 40 years, Russell and Jackie Weatherspoon have been pillars of kindness, wisdom, and non-sibi that held up Phillips Exeter Academy; their presence on campus is not forgotten, and their legacy continues within Exonians every day.

On April 15, students were beckoned inside the Assembly Hall for an unforgettable assembly — one that not only inspired an appreciation for the fight against racial inequity in the United States but also challenged each listener to reflect on their own role in building a more just community at Exeter. Rev. Wheeler Parker, the last living witness of the lynching of Emmett Till in 1955, stood at the podium and delivered a Tuesday assembly speech like no other, recounting the chilling facts of his late cousin’s fate.

Quadratic equations and 400-meter dashes may seem oddly disconnected at first, but Sarr manages both his duties on campus with zeal, a lighthearted demeanor, and a relentless spirit. Instructor in mathematics Makhtar Sarr is not only an integral part of the Exeter community — he unites it.
