If you're looking for a rainy day activity this weekend, or are in the mood to learn we highly recommend a trip to Union Terminal's brand new Holocaust & Humanity Center! photo by: @emmheines

SENIOR Daniel Perrea started playing music when he was just four years old, but he didn’t start composing until his freshman year at WHHS. “I got an iPad and a notation program and just wrote down ideas I had. Since then, I’ve been learning more and more,” Perrea said. He has produced music for several WHHS theater performances, including Cherry Orchard, Julius Caesar and She Kills Monsters.

Yousuf Munir and Kayla Reidy, ‘21, were inspired to activism after the Parkland shooting. Munir sees the United States as “pushing really hard for the things that we want and that are good for us as kids and as people and as Americans,” in terms of gun legislation following Parkland. The House of Representatives is composed of a “majority of ‘gun sense’ candidates” and has “introduced a bill for universal background checks,” according to Munir. However, Reidy believes there is more work to do. “I think that we still have a long way to go until everything is completely safe and every school, and I think really the only solution for that is more common sense gun control,” Reidy said.
