The case for the Powderpuff game

Ben Porter November 25, 2013
“Down, set, hike!” When we think of Powderpuff, the image that comes to mind is a group of girls from the same grade decked out in eyeblack and matching jerseys. They’re listening to the play call in the huddle before they sprint out on the field to give their all against a rival team in a sport that they’ve never competed in. On the sidelines, their teammates are screaming, “Go Wayland!”

Sammy Keating November 14, 2013
This past Wednesday was opening night for the WHS Theater Ensemble's fall play, Dead on Arrival (D.O.A.). I am proud of the fact that in my four years at WHS, I have seen the fall play every year.
