Prom/Promposals – 2020

Who knew for my last article, I would be committing a cardinal sin of the J and breaking the AP style number one rule: writing in the first person. As a second semester senior, I’m more than ready to leap out of high school and into college. But I did not expect to be writing my last Observer ...
The Last Day of School – 2020
By Victoria Park, Opinions Editor
May 14, 2020
Winston Churchill High School always seemed like an unusual name for a school. I remember laughing at it when my parents told me I would be transferring there from my school in New York. A British Prime Minister is so unexpected for a high school name, especially one with Niche reviews about students ge...
Senior Banquet – 2020

Ah, high school. I’ve seen so many movies about it. At five years old, I remember watching “High School Musical” in the living room of my cousins’ house, enjoying the iconic end scene where they dance and sing “We’re All in This Together,” like the multi-talented flash mob of athletic...
Senior Luncheons – 2020

May 14, 2020
I really don’t know how it is possible to fully encompass my entire high school experience in a few pages, but I’ll try to summon the Sparknotes inside of me to make that happen. I have loved every moment of the three and a half years I spent at WCHS. Yes, even the stress of finding a spot o...
Senior Skip Days – 2020
By Fatima Yazdi, Editor-in-Chief
May 14, 2020
Going into high school, people told me lots of things: freshman year is the most fun, homecoming is lame, junior year will drain every ounce of energy out of you and that you will regret ever taking AP World. So naturally, I went in with expectations of how things would turn out-- and I can say if the...
Yearbook Signing – 2020

Cue the first song on my Spotify playlist from freshman year. It’s “Innocence” by Avril Lavigne. That song symbolized a new era. Freshman year was full of hope, but at the core of it all, I was afraid of losing that sense of wonder throughout my high school years. Now cue the most-played song fr...
Graduation – 2020
By Cherri Tung, Arts Editor
May 14, 2020
The only thing I knew about high school was from the movies. Coming into high school, I was lost and scared. This was nothing like “High School Musical” had made it out to be. The school was so big and I felt so alone, it seemed like everyone had already made friends. Everyone was so academi...
Spring Break – 2020
By Kathy Hu, Online Editor
May 14, 2020
I have once again waited until the last minute to write my article. But this time it wasn’t procrastination (well, maybe a little). I’ve been putting off writing this article because I knew the second I started to write it, tears were sure to fall. It seems crazy that I’ve been tasked with ...
Blast 31 – 2020
By Ohio Meshanko, Promotions Manager
May 14, 2020
Somewhere within the darkened halls of an empty WCHS, a colorful stage sits, ready to receive performers that, in all likelihood, won’t set foot on it again. It was the culmination of weeks of spirit-consuming work; staying at school well past sunset, struggling to keep up with homework and preparing ...
Senior Breakfast – 2020
By Sapna David, Features Editor
May 14, 2020
I always said I hated high school, but now as I sit in my bed reflecting on my home for four years, I rethink this statement. Through the ups and downs of high school, as much as you could say I seemed to have hated it, I would never ask for a better school to be an alumna of. High school for me was...
Beach Week – 2020
By Jordyn Green, Online Editor-in-Chief
May 14, 2020
I never really identified with WCHS. My entire high school career, I found other ways to define myself: through friends, extracurriculars, family and interests. School was like a job to me; I would go in the morning, leave in the afternoon, then begin my day and express myself. It’s kind of funny th...
