![The Wayland Police Department have issued a warning on the rise of scammers during the holiday season. “Hang up [the phone]. if you get a text and you do not know who it's from, just delete it. Don't click on any links, nothing,” Wayland police chief Edward Burman said. “Every single one of them is a scam.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/img_0954_720-e1734676255647.jpg)
![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)

Dear Readers,
Do you know what fall means here at the high school? Football.
Football. Football. Football. This isn’t any ordinary year for the Warriors either. 2009 marks the 100th year of Warrior Football here at Wayland. WSPN’s Daniel James and Evan Barber got a feel for the excitement on campus for the 100th year of the Friday night ritual. Check out the team’s schedule, or any team’s for that matter, from our site. You can also keep up with all the latest scores on our Warrior Scores feed.
Across the fields in the Arts building, students are also hard at work. Wayland’s Theatre Ensemble is beginning rehearsals of Flight of the Lawnchair Man, the fall musical. The story centers around Jerry Gorman, a 34-year-old Wal-Mart employee, who never grew out of his boyhood dream to fly. Stay tuned for an article in the upcoming week.
Fall also means freeze here on campus. More and more mornings are starting sub-50°, and students know it won’t be long before giant sheets of ice await them in between classes. On another note, the lunch ladies plan to add popcorn to the snack line in anticipation of the slip-fest. Godspeed freshman, godspeed.
