Sports At WHS Sports have long been an important part of life at WHS.

Some stu- dents were off with the gun, choosing difficult academic classes, undertaking independent study, taking music class- es after . school hours, and going to summer school. The reasons for this intensity were twofold: These motivat- ed students were interested in chal- lenging themselves intellectually and in augmenting their class rank, an impor- tant reference that colleges use in the admissions process. During the WHS career of the Class of 1986, the deter- mination of class rank became a source of controversy, with some ar- guing that the system favored certain students, was thus unfair, and should Q QN is F ,E ,i J' 1, fi .,, be changed. Consequently, a new class rank was designed and put into effect for future graduating classes. Xf-
