![WHS alumni Lizzy Francis and Sam Goldstone began the process of creating a stand alone race class for freshmen in 2020. “I think that a large issue with this country in general, honestly, is just [people] being uneducated and being unaware of different experiences,” WHS alum Lizzy Francis said. “I think that [by] bringing awareness to these social situations, we become better people, and we create a new generation of people that are kinder to each other, willing to listen and willing to be advocates for those who cant be advocates.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Screen-Shot-2022-06-16-at-4.22.47-PM-900x597.png)

Suddenly, they were all gone, and now I see them all over [Wayland].”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Image-6-13-22-at-2.46-PM-900x600.jpg)

This was Goldstones first play with WHSTE. “[Senior one acts] bring out people who might have been interested in performing but perhaps the commitment had been too big for the larger projects, so we sort of get a broader group coming out to perform,” drama teacher Aidan O’Hara said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/D6F0FAC1-421C-4E49-BC4A-5B2C510C82B2_1_105_c-1-900x596.jpg)

Seniors Sam Baron (left), Serina Patel (middle), and Mallory Leonard (right), dress as skunks. They arrive in the parking just after making their morning Dunkin Donuts run. "What inspired [this costume] was the headpieces we found," Leonard said. At WHS, masks are not permitted. "We cheated the system a little bit," Baron said.

This scene, as well as several others, occurs as a voice-over by the narrator (played by senior Harrison Dietzius) talks to the audience. My favorite thing about being in this play was just getting to do one last show [before I graduate], Dietzius said. Just getting to be in one more show with all the people that Ive been [in the theater ensemble] with for the past four years before I leave was really nice.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/DSC_1623-1-475x317.jpg)
