Hello readers! First of all, I am looking for the perfect new name for this blog. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to throw some of your ideas in the comment section below. Okay, now back to the tunes. If you’re a fan of less mainstream music, this post is for you. Some great lesser-known artists have dropped some new material that is definitely worth a listen.
On Nov. 19, sophomore Evan Hughes released his newest extended play, “Crunch Time,” aptly named because it was written and recorded over the span of three days and completed on Nov. 11.
Seniors and Powderpuff participants Allison Wei and Sarah Mitty argue for the preservation of Powderpuff as it is, while seniors Alex Erdekian and Lizzy Worstell, who are not participating in the game, call for Powderpuff's reform.
“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!”
Hazing in a sorority by forcing pledges to drive drunk. The town whose team name is “The Redskins.” Schools that continue to segregate their proms by race.
Just because something is a tradition doesn’t make it right. As loved as Powderpuff is, it’s time to take a step back and reevaluate this tradition for what it’s worth.
Every year, my mom makes two different types of pie for my extended family — one pecan pie and one pumpkin pie. However, last year, we decided it was time to mix things up just a little bit. So, instead of making a traditional pumpkin pie, we had pumpkin cheesecake.
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. No matter how many times I see a WHSTE production, I am always surprised by the amount of creativity and personal touches the cast adds to its productions, and this year was no different.
With Halloween done and first term almost complete, it is a great time to go out and relax by vibing to some dope new music. Some huge artists have just dropped new albums, and other big names are set to release new music this week.
![Last Wednesday, the Wayland School Committee gathered to discuss a number of topics regarding the health curriculum and Innovation Career Pathway course. Another large topic of conversation was the ways to potentially mitigate distracting cell phone usage. "These [phones] are going to distract your learning and social relationships," Superintendent David Fleishman said. "That's concrete right there."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-04-at-9.49.31 PM-1200x886.png)
![Troy Hoyt finishes the Boston Marathon, running for the Hoyt Foundation. T. Hoyt is the son of Hoyt Foundation CEO Russ Hoyt.
“[Running a marathon] might seem like a big thing, when it’s presented to you at first, but if you break it up and just keep telling yourself, “Yes, you can,” you can start chipping away at it. And before you know it, you’ll be running the whole 26 miles, and you won’t even think twice about it.” T. Hoyt said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/C36E8761-1CBB-452E-9DF2-543EF7B1095E_1_105_c.jpeg)
