The Diary of a New Student
In early January, I had never heard of T.C. Williams High School, but on February 3, 2020, I became one of its newest students. This is the school where I hope to remain for the rest of my junior year and hopefully up to graduation. Within the span of two weeks, I went from the home of the Lightning bolt to the home of the Titans; leaving Maryland for Virginia, after growing up there my whole life, was a major change.

Here’s to the Next Four Years
Three Female Athletes Commit to Division I Colleges Reagan Feld and Sadie Finn MADDIE TOASO, CREW: “Maddie Toaso is the most resilient person I know,” said senior Candace Goodman, Toaso’s crew teammate.

Headscarves Stir Controversy
Is the Rule In Girls Basketball Really There for the Players’ Benefit? Jacqueline Lutz When members of the Freshman girls basketball team suited up for their game against Hayfield on January 10, some players had no idea that part of their uniform would be disputed. When they stepped on the court, players wearing headscarves were told they may not be eligible to play.

The girls played, but the setback delayed the game’s start by almost 30 minutes,…
