By Aprille Mohn About half an hour away from Wilson High School, in Mountville, PA, is one of America’s best haunted attractions. Field of Screams is open for the 2015 fall season and off to a wonderful start. Owned by two brothers, Jim and Gene Schopf, and run on their family farm, the haunted attraction came into being as a result of the shared passion for scaring people. Jim Schopf told the Paw Print that when both brothers were younger, they would run a haunted house in one of the barns with the brothers running alternate scares and rushing to their next to be ready for the group as they moved through the haunted house. Schopf described the pure adrenaline rush that came with scaring someone - a rush now shared by many others now that the Field of Screams team has grown exponentially. Schopf also told the Paw Print that Field of Screams is still run because of the fun in scaring others and being scared, rather than for the monetary benefit that similar attractions in the country are run for. By Lauren Davis This August, about 400 freshmen piled into the stands of the gym and had an exciting day with Link Crew. This was Wilson’s second year participating in Link Crew, and I had the privilege of being a part of it for both years. For those of you upperclassmen who have never been a part of Link Crew, it is an international program with the aim of creating a welcoming and supportive environment for incoming freshmen. The year kicks off with the orientation, which is a four-hour event where freshmen and Link Leaders play games, get to know each other, where the leaders share advice, and leaders give a tour of the building. Link Crew also hosts event throughout the year. The events are for the freshmen and their Link leaders. The first event of the year is a tailgate that happens before the first home game of the season. They also hold other events like, studying parties before midterms and finals and holiday parties. |
