![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)
![The Boy Scouts will be selling trees on Fridays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays noon to 6 p.m. until they sell out.
“This event is one of the things that [the Boy Scouts] get to have a direct impact on the community,” freshman Alex Macleod said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-11-at-8.38.38 AM.png)
“The game is a huge disruption, and we’re not going to do it here on school grounds,” Tutwiler said.
However, students won’t be quick to abandon the tradition.
“We’re going to find a way to play. It’s organized within our grade. We’ll do it somehow,” said senior Willem Wang.
Tutwiler encouraged seniors to play the game off school grounds but insists that there will be no tolerance for it at the high school. Even carrying safety items, Tutwiler explained, will be forbidden on campus.

Why should games for young people be EVER called Killer or Assassin? Very much in agreement with the ban.

What if all the cars and busses suddenly overheated, and the only way to save them from exploding and killing 100s was to cool them off by splashing the waterbottles carried by the assassins players?

Sorry you're not going to be able to play the game, but Assassin was the root cause of at least one car accident in the student parking lot last year. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the two vehicles involved had a combined $1500 in damage. At the time of the accident, there were several hundred students nearby, along with several buses with students. When the driver jumped out of his car (with it still in drive!) to "assassinate" his target, the car could easily have plowed into a group of students, causing many major injuries, or far worse. Had the car not hit another parked vehicle, there is no telling the damage that might have happened. There is no reason whatsoever to put students at risk like that again. Sure, what the driver did was dumb, but who is to say it won't happen again?

I feel that seniors are going to be VERY paranoid when off school grounds if that's where they decide play it. Gillie suits anyone?

add it to the list of long time wayland high school traditions that tut has killed

omg this is rediculous. its a tradition!!! ugh we should be able to play on school grounds!!! seniors need to learn to respect the boundries. maybe they will give us one more chance and we can redeem ourselves. we know that we are not allowed to do it inside but outside should be okay. thats not right. ugh that sooo annoying. they need to know that seniors are probably gonna rebel against this eventually.

Well at my local high school East they are in a "safe place" IN a church, in school/or school grounds, and where YOU work. A "safe place" is where you cannot shoot someone and they can not shoot you. However you can be shot in the PARKING LOT of a church. So suggest "the safe place" theory to your school, hope this helped!!!

i agree for the students safety it should not be played on campus because it is very dangerous. plus students at times don't think about their actions and students could get seriously hurt
