Stratton Rebish, Co-Editor of Opinion

One of Stratton Rebish ('24)'s favorite musical artists is Jacob Colier, a man who turned his audience into his own instrument. However, even as the conductor of his own audience, Colier does not love the stage as much as Stratton. Stratton "cutie pa-tootie," big guy," "baby cakes," Rebish is now a junior looking forward to helping new staff writers as an editor of opinion. Another one of Stratton's characters is Bill Austin from last year's production of the play, Mamma Mia. His beloved character in the dazzling musical captured the heart of not only Rosie, but everyone who had the opportunity to see his vibrancy on stage. Conducting a freshman audience of his own, Stratton also took on the role of a peer advisor. Along with musical theater, Stratton enjoys New York Sports, his grandma's noodles, and learning in his creative writing and fascism class. Stratton hopes to use journalism as his own stage by recreating the support and encouragement provided by past editors to him for the new staff writers.

VWS students line up in front of “Ye Olde Testing Centre” to get COVID tested after Thursday chapel. Per new safety measures, all students must get tested at least twice a week during their free blocks and can grab a tasty Hi-Chew on their way out. “We’ve been doing this since last year, so it’s almost like a schedule I have in my mind to get tested every week,” Zaneta Yeung (‘25) said. The new testing schedule is just one of the many new guidelines put in place to ensure the safety of the Webb community.

The college application process for upperclassmen can be an overwhelming process. It often feels as if there are a multitude of things to complete in order to even qualify for college, not to mention the competition and uncertainty of the process.
