Linden Hall marks News and Features written by Students at Linden Hall School for Girls THE LITITZ, PA., RECORD EXPRESS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2011 A15 Linden Hall students study agriculture The new 5th and 6th grade classes at Linden Hall ventured to Brecknock Orchards to compare cur- rent farming methods with those of ancient times under a program sponsored by Penn State’s agriculture program. Adventurers include (standing back row, left to right) Meredith Longer, Ansley McFarling, Emily Myers, T ricia Phillips, Mar tina Ross, Chloe Hain, Alyssa Sheffy, Victoria Kreider, Rachel Kauffman, Lauren Hughes, Lelani Henson, Hannah Smith (middle row) Halle Richardson, Jacquelyn Denker, Ava Warfel, T ahri Phillips, assistant teacher Kate O’Neal (LH 2006); (seated) Kyra Longenecker (special visitor) Sarah Stambaugh and Audrey Salmons. JILLIAN SILBERT Class of 2014 When Linden Hall headmas- ter Dr. Vincent Stumpo rst announced that the school was planning to construct a new academic center and tear down parts of the old buildings, many students were dismayed, fearing that pieces of history would be torn down. However, this type of renovation is not new for the school. Linden Hall built ad- ditions in both 1769 and 1804, so why shouldn’t we continue this tradition of improving our school on both the inside and the outside? With excitement slowly start- ing to replace alarm, Linden Hall girls came to eagerly await the beginning of construction. Last May, at the end of the grad- uation ceremony for the class of 2011, students and faculty alike rushed over to watch Linden Hall representatives symboli- cally push their shovels into the earth. With this act, the con- struction ocially started. Campaign 265, so named be- cause 2011 marks the 265th anniversary of the founding of Linden Hall, plans to create a Center for Academic Excellence. This center will include a state- of-the-art library and research center, as well as a large lecture hall, new classrooms, a welcome center, and a college-counseling center.

One year of mucking through mud during construction is worth the reward of walking in- side during many cold winters to follow. Construction began with a big bang this past spring, and the progress made by the construc- tion crew is amazing. In about six months, the construction site has risen from a hole in the ground to the erection of walls, the laying of oors, and the basic plans for dif- ferent rooms. Students need only to look out windows every day to see the evidence of progress. When they return next school year, Linden Hall students will surely be excited to walk through the halls and take classes in the newly constructed areas. Linden Hall already has a good track record of nishing construction beautifully, as established by the earlier construction of a library commons, science wing, and hu- manities wing. With construction workers racing against the clock, the student body wishes the con- struction crews lots of luck with their progress and looks forward to the opening of the new Center for Academic Excellence. SAVANNAH THORPE Class of 2012 Basketball season is here again. The Lady Lions have just come o a winning season and appearance at the semi-nals, and are looking to have another good season. This year, the bas- ketball program is undergoing some changes. First, the Lions are welcoming back Mr. Robert Kauman, father of students Liz, Becky, Sarah, and Rachel Kauman, as head coach, and Ms. Kate Kreider as assistant coach. The combined experience of these two is sure to take the Li- ons far once again. Also, this year there will be not only a Varsity team, but a Junior Varsity (JV) team as well because so many girls were interested. The hope is that, with a JV pro- gram, each group will get more attention, and the future Varsity team will be even stronger. This year’s team is also heav- ily emphasizing the importance Basketball season underway The Linden Hall basketball team is beginning its new season and expects to do every bit as well as it did in former seasons. of working together. From the physical aspect of matching shoes to the more gurative aspect of having one heart and one goal, this year’s team is sure to be tighter than ever. JILLIAN SILBERT Class of 2014 Linden Hall students love the sense of security they have in attend- ing an independent school; however, many girls feel that they are kept in a bubble — they do not know what is going on in the world outside Linden Hall. Alumnae Joy Dong and Violet Zhou created a Model United Na- tions club at Linden Hall two-and- a-half years ago to help combat this problem. As Sarah Sandkuhler, class of 2015, remarked, “I like [Model UN] because it really helps me be- come more aware of what’s going on currently in the world.” Model UN is exactly what it sounds like: a model of the United Nations. The United Nations was created in 1942 to act as a source of international peace. Representative s from all over the world meet in the UN’s New York headquarters to dis- cuss a variety of dierent policies. For Model UN, students choose dierent countries to represent. At dierent conferences, they repre- sent these countries’ political views. This poses a challenge for the girls because they could very likely get a country that has views very dierent from their own. To represent their country to the best of their abilities, they must forget their biases and learn as much about their country as possible. Model UN keeps students in touch with the world Co-faculty advisor Dr. George Scouten discusses tactics with mem- bers of Linden Hall’s Model UN team. Erica Maney, class of 2015, says of Model UN, “It’s so much fun, and I’m really glad I decided to join.” Model UN’s rst conference this year was held in Juniata College on Nov. 14. To prepare for this confer- ence, the club hosted a practice sym- posium on Oct. 30. At their sympo- sium, the girls discussed the UN’s Millenium Development Goals, two of which hope to address gender in- equality and people living in extreme poverty and hunger. At this symposium, Sandkuhler represented Saudi Arabia, a country whose conservative views on gender dier greatly from America’s. Sand- kuhler stated, “It’s challenging to convincingly represent the ideas of these people, because their culture is very dierent from ours. But…it’s pretty fun.” In November, the girls had a chance to win prizes in individual committees and see their own ideas pass as resolutions for the confer- ence. Last year’s Model UN did ex- traordinarily well, and there’s no doubt that this year’s club will acquit themselves well, too. OLIVIA DAVIS Class of 2015 As volleyball and tennis seasons came to an end, basketball season is rapidly approaching. Girls in grades 9-12 have been preparing for the in- tense try-outs for the Varsity and Ju- nior Varsity teams. The Junior Var- sity is new this year and a result of the large interest in basketball for the upcoming season. This means that there are twenty girls on the team as a whole instead of fteen, and more girls will get the chance to play. Ocial basketball try-outs began on Oct. 24. The girls went through long exercises and drills to see if they had what it takes to keep up with the fast-paced, aggressive basketball team that made it to Districts last year. From running to cardio work- outs to basketball drills, the girls did everything to prepare for the upcom- ing season. This year, the basketball teams have bright futures ahead of them with all the talent. Linden Hall wishes all the girls lots of luck during the upcoming season.
