Aaron Yang (‘25) and Luke Smith (‘25) model the current political climate of division in the upcoming election. “The current political climate is quite a firestorm,” Aaron Yang (‘25) said. “While I don’t really follow politics, I can feel the tension even here at Webb sometimes.” Positive feelings between America’s two parties are at an all-time low, reflecting an increasingly divided nation.

Caution tape was placed near the library to make students aware of the bees near the library. The Fawcett library was swarmed with bees during long lunch on Monday, March 18th, which triggered an evacuation of students. “I was sitting in the library as this was happening and probably within 10 minutes I was evacuated,” Mirabel Raphael (‘24) said. “They told me that I had to leave through the back door. I felt like I was escaping from some kind of emergency.”
