By Katie DallasThe eighth-period bell rings and you sit down in your seat, exhausted from the long day. The seconds feel like hours, but there's just one more period to get through until you can hop on your bus. At 2:40, the halls are crowded with students, talking and laughing, ready to vacate the school until the next morning. A few stay behind, for practice or the occasional meeting, but after the bell rings, all that’s left are empty hallways and eerily quiet cafeterias. Walking around the building after these hours gives a strange feeling like you shouldn’t be there. (Photo Courtesy of Mr. Citrone)

By RJ Thomas“Fiddler on the Roof” has captured the hearts of many since its original Broadway run in 1971, including Clara Weber’s. It seems to be a theme, that a piece of art, literature or music touches someone so deeply at a young age that they gain a kind of drive to participate in similar works. For Clara, it was, “[in the third grade] my dad forced me to watch ‘Fiddler on the Roof,’ which I fell in love with. I guess you could say that’s where it started.” (Photo Courtesy of Clara Weber)
By Rachel KovachOn Dec. 5, 2019, a group of about 40 Wilson students that are taking a level five language this year took a trip to the Big Apple. It was an early start to try and avoid traffic, and we made great time getting there, arriving at The Metropolitan Museum of Art at 10:30 am. It was the perfect day to be in New York, as the sun was shining brightly, and it was not as cold as an average December day. We were all welcomed by some Met employees that gave us the guidelines for how we should use our time in the museum, where to meet when the time came to leave, and which exhibits to go to. As soon as the welcoming committee was done with their instructions, we all split up with our respective friend groups and ventured through the massive museum. Everything I saw in the museum was beautiful! There were ornate fountains, statues, abstract paintings, and even ancient jewelry. (Photo Courtesy of Rachel Kovach)

Samantha Shaak, a Family Consumer Science teacher at Wilson High School, has an ultimate passion for food that starts in the classroom and follows her home. Four years ago, Shaak began what is known today as “Green Pig Farm.” This farm contains some chickens, some goats and a fairly large garden. After years of tending to her farm, Shaak made the switch from a twelve-year special ed teacher to an FCS teacher this past year. (Photo Courtesy of Ms. Shaak)
By Rachel KovachOn Dec. 19, 2019, approximately 150 choir students took the stage for the annual winter choir concert, a proud showing of our three talented ensembles. First up was Treble Choir, an auditioned, all girls ensemble made up of many talented young women. We sang in many different languages such as Hebrew for a Hanukkah song called “S’Vivon,” Latin for “Gaudete” and parts of “Caritas Abundat,” and even French for a classic Christmas song called “Il Est Ne.” The song “Gaudete” featured two amazing soloists, Elisa Silva, and Yuki Pinisetti. “Caritas Abundat” holds a special place in the hearts of returning Treble Choir members, as we started to learn it for the spring concert of 2019, but had to cut it from the program because it was not ready to be performed. This year, however, our incredible director, Mrs. Fredericks decided to bring it back, and we diligently worked on it, making it a favorite to perform. Another song that has significant meaning to us is “Travelin’ Home,” arranged by Andrea Ramsey. This was the song that Mrs. Fredericks created the entire theme of the concert around; all of the pieces performed in this concert had some kind of a connection to home.
