Sir Isaac of the Last Frontier


This painting is actually a miniature that was unearthed recently on a tundra plain in an unknown location in Alaska. Faded and in poor condition, it none the less successfully portrays the young manhood of Sir Isaac Reynolds. Because of its condition, it is believed that this miniature was once worn around the neck of the man's lover. Yet, as the neck, and indeed the rest of the body, of such a lover is still at large, we shall pass this idea as just a rumor.

Apparently preserved by some natural element, some claim it is due to the man's face itself, this painting remains a mystery to the scientific world. Although the strokes of paint are a bit faded, the majestic grin that emanates from Sir Isaac's face still comes through as bright as ever. Such a painting will add a special grace to the community, as well as doubtlessly bring many tourists.

The exact date this miniature was painted is still to be determined. Yet, such a masterpiece speaks of other paintings to be unearthed, so stay tuned.

Ban the Joe: Get Joe to Come Here

The symbol of the cause Many WCC students are mourning the loss of Joe B. to University of Dallas. A promising member of the spring Founders draft, many were looking forward to him joining the Class of 2023. Banjo Guy as he is called, has reportedly committed to attending the University of Dallas near his Texas hometown, in a decision largely predicated upon the attendance there of many of his friends. But never fear, it's not too late! "It's not up to him whether he comes or not," was the simple conclusion from a high-level meeting of the new WCC Future Student Decision Council. Simply, that means that as everyone wants him here, he can't just decide to go elsewhere. Everyone wants him to come here, but how, one might ask, do we change this horrible decision? There are multiple ways to be sure, but to begin, we're collecting signatures as part of a national BAN-JO campaign. Ban does not mean ban in the typical sense of disallowing, but is h...

No more spills!

I am going to keep this brief. I really do not want to be that person , but it is something that I have observed recently, and it is becoming a problem. And not your regular problem, no, this is becoming a HUGE problem. No one likes it when there is water spilled everywhere, leastwise me. We all hate it when we go in and start slipping everywhere because someone did not do it right. I’m serious. If you are going to dive, don’t. There are no experts at this college, except maybe John-John, so you have no excuse to do it. When you dive, water spills all over the place and it isn’t pleasant. Also, this includes no jumping, no pencils, and especially no cannonballs. Another point. Is there actually a thrill in such an activity? Can you actually say that you enjoy diving? What is the use once you get in there? There is nothing to see, nothing to do; all you will be able to brag about is that you accidentally swallowed a bit more than you wanted. So again, please, I beg of yo...
