The acceptance bell is a newfound tradition for Warde seniors where they ring it to celebrate their most enviable accomplishment: leaving high school. However, in between bouts of senioritis (i.e. when they’re actually in the building), some have decided to ring the bell for what they are actually most proud […]

In this issue of the Focus, the biggest trick of all should have been the fact that the April Fools’ edition has reached publication during the ripe month of May (this is funny. Please laugh). However, it seems that the entire senior class has been clowned in a matter far […]
