SENIORS AND SUITS

By GABRIELLA MARKGJONAJ

This year, the beloved Mr. WHS competition will hopefully be taking place here at the high school for the first time since 2015 with the help of the student body.  This competition is an opportunity for the senior boys to show off their talents while raising money for charities that are near and dear to them.

Mr. WHS is an end of the year tradition at the high school, but much to the dismay of the student body, over the last three years, students have been unable to make it happen.  This year, senior Ian Lynch is determined that the show will, in fact, go on.  Teaming up with Student Coalition, he is working with advisors, Mrs. Angelillo and Mrs. Polo, to begin the planning process.  The first meeting was held on Tuesday, March 2oth.  The turnout was impressive with many senior boys and girls eager to begin planning the event for May.

Ian has been thinking about planning Mr. WHS for quite some time now.  His brother, Stephen Lynch, who organized the last Mr. WHS, “encouraged [him] to bring it back, to plan ahead, be one step in front of everyone else, and to take charge.”  

It is known to be a fun and exciting night for not only the participants, but for the audience as well.  The night of the event consists of performances, a talent portion and even guest appearances from fan favorite teachers.  Alumni and a past participant of Mr. WHS,  Alex Markgjonaj, encourages boys to  “go out and have a great time; it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it’s just a great way to end off your senior year with all of your friends, and something you will always remember!”

Ian believes that the class of 2018 has what it takes to bring Mr. WHS back.  He expressed,  “The class of 2018 never backs down or rejects a given opportunity.  I think that with the help of as many seniors in our class that we can get, this will not only be a successful night, but a night full of memories that will last for the rest of our lives.”

This event is open to any senior boys who would like to participate and any senior girls who would like to help out.  Anyone who is interested should see Mrs. Angelillo or Mrs. Polo in room 154 for information about future meetings and important deadlines.  They need as many people as possible in order for the event to be successful.  Be sure to come see Mr. WHS on May 24th.   Half of the proceeds will go to a charity chosen by the winning contestant.
