The school is commited to offering a wide range of arts because each student has a creative niche to fill, and we want them to find it at Holland Hall. From a study of major artists in the primary school to playwriting, photography and dance in the upper school, we know the arts stimulate critical thinking skills and problem-solving capabilities.

This number represents individuals honored by Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, as Righteous Among the Nations: “Non-Jews who took great risks to save... their Jewish neighbors at a time when hostility and indifference prevailed.” Stories of the Righteous are inspirational, and particularly meaningful to me is the story of Police Chief Jean Phillipe. Phillipe held various positions in the French army and the police. In late 1942, he was named Chief of Police of Toulouse and soon began using his position to prevent the arrest of many resistance fighters and to provide false identification papers to Jews. A member of the Jewish underground network testified after the war that Chief Jean Phillipe had helped him obtain forged identity papers with authentic police seals for young Jews who were smuggled to Switzerland or provided hiding places in France. For his humanitarian efforts, Chief Phillipe was arrested by the Gestapo on January 28, 1943, interrogated, tortured, imprisoned in Karlsruhe in Germany, and executed on March 1, 1944. Forty-five years after Jean Phillipe was named Chief of Police of Toulouse, I was promoted to Chief of Police of Tulsa. Today, 28 years after my retirement, Tulsa is not wartime France, but we are a community facing many serious issues. One of particular concern to me is racially biased policing. While addressing this problem, I find myself reflecting on the ultimate sacrifice of Chief Phillipe. Chief Jean Phillipe As we work to change the behavior of our law enforcement, we hope for an upstander to emerge from the ranks of the police or prejudice, arbitrary decisions, treatment disparity, and disrespect. our elected officials. We need (expect) this person to speak, act, or By bringing fellow officers into full accord with their sworn oath, intervene on behalf of those being wronged or attacked.

The incident shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the end of the airship era.[1] After opening its 1937 season by completing a single round trip passage to Rio de Janeiro in late March, the Hindenburg departed from Frankfurt on the evening of May 3 on the first of its 10 round trips between Europe and the United States scheduled for its second year of commercial service. In the United States, American Airlines, which had contracted with the operators of the Hindenburg, was prepared to shuttle fliers from Lakehurst to Newark for connections to airplane flights to other cities Except for strong headwinds which slowed its passage, the Hindenburg's crossing was otherwise unremarkable until the airship's attempted early evening landing at Lakehurst three days later on May 6. Although carrying only half its full capacity of passengers (36 of 70) and 61 crew members (including 21 training crew members), the Hindenburg's return flight was fully booked with many of those passengers planning to attend the festivities for the coronation of King George VI in London the following week.

  • The Zeppelin by Anthony Camilleri
    The Zeppelin by Anthony Camilleri An airship or dirigible is a bouyant aircraf that can be steered and propelled through the air. They stay afloat by means of a cavity filled with gas of lesser density than the surrounding atmosphere. They were the first aircraft to make controlled, powered flight. ZEPPELIN is a type of dirigible, more specifically a type of rigid airship pioneered by German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, whose name it derived, in the early 2Q1h century. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin became interested in constructing a 'dirigible airship' after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871 when he witnessed the use of French balloons during the Siege of Paris. He started working on various designs shortly after leaving the military. He eventually purchased the rights to the designs of Croatian inventor David Schwartz after the inventor died suddenly before successfully flying. His first aircraft drew heavily on Schwartz's design. Due to the outstanding success of the Zeppelin design, the term Zeppelin in casual use came to refer to all rigid airships. Construction of the first Zeppelin airship, th LZ1 (for "Luftschiff (Airship) Zeppelin'') began in 1899 and the first experimental flight occurred on 2nd July, 1900 over the Bodensee, in the Bay of Manzell, Friedrichshafen lasting only 18 minutes. Many more airships followed and these were used for passenger transport and military purposes. The DELAG (Deutsch Luftschiffahrt -AG) which can be considered the first commercial airline, served scheduled flights well before World War I and after the outbreak of the conflict, the German Military made extensive use of Zeppelins as bombers and scouts.
