The Omicron Service Society (OSS) team is bigger than ever and ready to serve. The OSS serves from a mile down the road to helping pack food for families in Africa. It is divided into two smaller teams: green and gold. Each week the team visits at least three different locations.
Wesleyan has two weeks off for Christmas Break. There is time to spend with family and to eat food, but more importantly there is time to catch up on your Netflix shows. The Green and Gold staff asked several high school students which Netflix shows are their favorite that they would suggest for others to watch. Here are their responses for optimal binge watching, spanning across a variety of genres. Happy viewing.
The following students that gave their suggestions:
Seniors, Abbie Lochmandy, Lauren Morales and Whitney Archer. Junior, Jack Mills. Sophomores, Kat Saylor, Grace Tyler and Hannah Hufham. Freshmen, Whitaker Welch, Bella Barnes and Charlie Taylor.
Whether it is in lower school, middle school or in high school, the students and faculty get the privilege of eating lunch made by Sage Dining. The Green & Gold went “behind the scenes” of Sage Dining to discover more about what the staff does on a daily basis.
One new component that was introduced to the high school this year was the self-serve hot line, rather than staff-served.
Sage Dining manager Jason Meyers said, “The amount of food preparation has definitely increased since self-service has been introduced. Currently, most students load up their plate because the concept is new, and they don’t want to get back in line. I believe it will eventually smooth out.” Keep Reading
The boys’ basketball team is looking forward to their hard work paying off by making it to the state playoffs and even to the state championship. This year, the team has four seniors. After graduating six seniors last year, the team is looking for new leadership from Sean McDonough, Cullen Davis, Grant Frerking and Harrison Cook.
Moving down to Division 1A, the team will face primarily new competition. Because the number one rival for the boys’ team was GAC last year, their hardest competition this season will be Holy Innocents’, St. Francis, Lovett, Marist and St. Pius, according to Assistant Coach Eric Damm.
After failing to make it to the state tournament last year, the team’s goal is to make it into the state playoffs this year.
Junior Christian McLean said that he is most excited for “winning games” this season. He also said that his favorite part of the team are “the tickling sessions after practice and Kyle [Cleveland] dunking on me.”
The team is a close-knit group, with 12 players in total. Senior Sean McDonough said, “My favorite part of the team is the comradery.”
McDonough has verbally committed to Sewanee: The University of the South, and he is the only senior out of the four that has already committed to play basketball in college.
This year the boys’ team will be seeing mostly new competition, and will have to adjust their game plans accordingly.
Assistant Coach Eric Damm said that his favorite part of the team this year is that “[the] team has great chemistry and they have worked extremely hard during the off season. I’m excited to see our new up tempo style of basketball. We are going to play faster on offense and press more defensively. This should create more excitement at our games!” said Damm.
The Wesleyan Swim and Dive team dove into their season with a splash. With a tough meet schedule ahead, the Wet Wolves have been working hard, in and out of the pool, to train for success. After losing many strong seniors, the team knows it will take more effort than ever to improve on last year’s season and the accomplishments that came with it.
In a recent interview, head coach Kevin Kadzis said, “Every team is different [and] every year is different. There is carry over year to ye
ar, but this year’s team has a good group of leaders and good group of underclassmen as well. [The team] has great chemistry; I am excited to see where we go.”
