Despite Adversity, Student Returns Dishes to the Cafeteria from Frassati Lounge

By
May 6, 2019-Lander, Wyoming.
It happened late last night, as the Sunday crew was making preparations to evict the last stragglers from Frassati Cafeteria. Nobody saw it coming; nobody thought it was even possible. Witnesses described the scene as, "The most moving show of determination we have ever seen." In that moment, sophomore William P. Russelle entered the cafeteria, laden with all the dishes he had departed with half an hour before, not excluding his cup. His appearance was haggard, his face pale as he labored to breathe after the long journey. However, that did nothing to cool the fire in his eye or the blunt the steely resolve in his heart. He saw his goal directly ahead of him and made for it with the last of his failing strength. Silence reigned in the cafeteria as he took the last few steps and placed everything into the proper bus tubs. As the silence transformed to standing ovation, Mr. Russelle collapsed to the floor, exhausted but triumphant.

In an interview, Mr. Russelle admitted that he didn't know whether he could do it, but, "Sometimes you just gotta try to do the right thing, dog." His success has strengthened his resolve and he is planning another trip, "Maybe Thursday, depending on how much studying I get done between now and then." This time, his mission is greater. "I've realized that I could probably carry a little more next time... Maybe a couple'a cups or a bowl or something, ya know?" We at IIT certainly wish him the best in this endeavor.

New Serious WCC Freshman Endeavor

By
Freshmen Anne and Emily, aiming to redeem opinions of the Class of 2022 from being solely satirical and unserious, have launched a serious project, a blog named the Barnabus Project About it: The Barnabas Project is a blog by and for the Wyoming Catholic College class of 2022. It’s a kind of combined lit-mag and indie coffee shop; it’s a site for philosophical musings on what we’re reading and thinking about, photography from our vacations, poetry and short stories, or basically anything. A little background: at the end of COR, we had a program at campfire called The Barnabas Project in which we, in a way, prepared to face the challenges of being a student. As we face the challenges of summer, this blog will be a small oasis of WCC culture against the tumultuous ocean of the wider world. Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton   View it here: https://wyclassof2022.home.blog/ To contribute (if you're a Freshmore ), find Anne's email ...

Ban the Joe: Get Joe to Come Here

By
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...
