![WHS’s Connect Program ran its annual holiday gift drive to fulfill the wishlist of children enrolled in the Dorchester based non-profit daycare organization, the Yawkey Center. This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)

’10 continues biking tradition
Last year for their senior prank, the Class of 2009 had a parking snafu by switching spots with the juniors, and throwing a beach party in their lot. As punishment, the administration banned them from parking their cars on campus for a few days. Looking to make the best of the situation, the ’09 biked to school, and parked their bikes in their normal parking spots.
Continuing the tradition, in their last week of classes ’10 decided to bike to school, as well as bring suspicious looking drinks to school. The drinks supposedly contain no alcohol. “I brought ginger ale to school in an unlabeled water bottle,” said one senior. “If it alludes to another drink, that’s not my fault.”
In an e-mail to the community, Principal Tuwiler gave his thoughts on the event. “Ride your bike to school day – great idea! Bring suspicious drink to school day – bad idea.”
![Junior Benjamin Hammond solos "Twist and Shout" by The Beatles as part of the T-Tones performance. "[Twist and Shout] is one of my favorite songs, and with the amount of vocal harmony it has I figured it would be good for A Capella," Hammond said. "[Twist and Shout] has pretty simple rhythms and awesome energy, which fits the vibe of the T-Tones. I arranged the song basically identical to how it is written, because I think the guitar riff, bass riff and the harmonies are all excellent as well as easy to sing."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/8E057B61-9507-4115-811F-93F1FB6F7EB4_1_105_c.jpg)

This was a hazard! When I went to the school three times through out the day, students were wandering across to and fro without looking, etc. Not a teacher in sight! Betcha those water bottles were suspicious.
