10/26/23 Feature: Nicholas Unger

From Number 20, 23 October 1988: "SNOW ANGELS" ENTERTAINING

Unger participated in theater, frequently directing and acting. “Unger, too, was convincing in his role as John, a lonely man who comes to Connie and tries to make believe that she is actually his past love.”

From Number 26, 18 November 1989: BOYS’ VARSITY CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM LOOKS GOOD FOR NEXT YEAR

Co-captain of the boys team, Unger enjoyed competing in cross-country, and now coaches the same team he competed on as a student. “Some of this unification can be attributed to the co-captains, Weiske and Unger, who took the races seriously, but helped to ease the tension with sudden renditions of the team song, ‘Danke Schon.’”

From Number 11, 28 April 1990: CLASSICAL LANGUAGES PRIZES AWARDED

Throughout his time at Exeter, Unger was consistently one of the top students in both Latin and Greek. “The largest prize, $lOOO, was awarded to Senior Nicholas Unger, who reached the level of 530 in Latin and 130 in Greek.”

From Volume CXXXV, Number 20, 12 September 2013: THE UNGER GAMES

In Unger’s Latin classes from 110 to 210, his students roleplay ancient Romans in a simplified version of the ancient Roman empire called the “Unger Games,” in the process of learning about Roman culture, history, mythology, and language. “Unger is a well-recognized figure on campus, known for his ceaseless passion for Latin and language and Roman culture, and love for running and support of the cross country team.”

From Volume CVI, Number 17, 23 February 1985: NASHUA YMCA SINKS J. V . BOYS SWIMMING

Mr. Moriarty as a lower placed third, fourth, and fifth in the 500 yard freestyle! What a beast.

From Volume CIX, Number 16, 6 June 1987: PRIZE DAY

Mr. Moriarty won the Fourth Award for Short Short Story. He’s an English teacher for a reason!

“For someone from the midwest, this place opened up the world to me. Pre-internet, the only way other than reading a lot to really learn about the world and people outside of your community was to move and be in different places. So I feel very lucky to have had a chance to come to a place with kids from all over and to learn from what we shared and from differences. PEA opened up the world not just on campus but gave me a chance to do SYA in Spain. My to-be best friend also lived in Cilley and we went to Spain together. He was a lot braver than me and helped me take chances abroad to try new things and meet new people.”

From the Archive Library: To filter searches, you should try multiples ways of spelling the individuals name. Always think about different ways ones name can be presented as well as nicknames and alias. That being said there will always be folks that appear in your search might not be the individual you are looking for. Remember you can also refine your search by time period (e.g., graduation year, appointment year, teaching years). There is also a really great “help” section on navigation bar on the Exonian Archive that helps with how to search.
