Mirror Mirror: YouTuber Jaclyn Hill review

Angela Park May 1, 2015
Jaclyn Hill. I had heard her name through other YouTube makeup gurus I watch, and I may have even unknowingly watched one of her videos before. I only decided to sit down and search her channel after my friend mentioned her to me. After viewing a variety of her videos, I finally hit the 'subscribe' button. She’s not my favorite, but she’s worth watching.

Ben Porter gives his opinion that students taking AP classes should not have to take the AP exam.

Opinion: Reexamining the benefits of AP exams

Ben Porter April 9, 2015
This week I signed up for Advanced Placement (AP) exams. I trudged to a room in the language wing, filled out some forms and prepared my answer booklet for test day. Then it was time to pay. Each AP exam costs $91, which brought my tab for five exams to a whopping $455. And that led me to the question: why am I even taking these tests?
WSPNs Mia Senechal gives her opinion on how all members of the WHS community carry prejudice, whether is be conscious or not, and how to create a more socially conscious environment.

Opinion: We are all prejudiced

Ben Porter March 30, 2015
If you’ve set foot in the academic building within the past couple of weeks (and if you haven’t, please consider doing so for your grades’ sake), then you’ve likely noticed the signs posted near the English wing entrance. These signs with quotes directed at WHS students and faculty aimed to illustrate the prejudice within our school. After a few adjustments were made to the presentation of these signs, faculty and student reactions’ prompted Principal Allison Mizoguchi to initiate a forum called “Courageous Conversations.”
WSPNs Ducan gives his opinion on how college athletes are continually exploited by their schools and the NCAA. Student athletes are expected to work and behave like professionals, while constantly being picked apart by the media. It is time to give these kids what they deserve, money.

Opinion: It’s time to pay college athletes

Duncan Stephenson March 27, 2015
College athletics are undoubtedly one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the United States. The publicity of the bowl games and March Madness, for example, rival that of major professional sports leagues. The student athletes that play college sports, in addition to trying to manage their academics, are expected to act and work like their counterparts who play in professional leagues, only with one catch — they don’t get paid.

Opinion: Let the posters stay, not the stereotypes

Abby McCarthy March 11, 2015

Sophomore Abby McCarthy gives her opinion on why its not okay for people to say thats gay. She also gives advice on how to be at WHS and a list of LGBTQA+ terms to know.

Opinion: Don’t say “that’s gay”

Abby McCarthy February 9, 2015
How many students can you name in our school who are openly attracted to members of the same sex? I bet it’s fewer than ten. However, recent surveys by demographer Gary J. Gates found that nearly 11 percent of the population reported some sexual attraction to the same sex. If 11 percent of our school is attracted to members of the same sex, that would translate to 96 students.
