As a senior of Woodrow Wilson High School I would like to clarify a couple things:

1. If you insist on reporting events at Woodrow, do it correctly.

2. The Woodrow Wilson Senior Dinner was attended by not only our prinicipal Mrs. Vail but the rest of the administrators that were affected by the prank. So unless you are insinuating that the administration had a hand in the production of this prank, I would revise your story.

3. The senior class did this of their own accord and spent no official class time assembling or implementing this prank. All others who put hard work into the Senior Dinner should be lauded for their beautiful event and negated of all association with this prank.

4. As for the comment that the effort put into this prank would have been better spent focused on our studies... well there are various things wrong with that:

a. Assembly and implementation of this prank took all of 3 hours late at night. No valuable "study time", as senior clearance day was yesterday, was spent.

b. If you take a look at the top ten percent at Woodrow, you would be pleasantly surprised to find kids with some of the best test scores, impeccable transcripts, and resumes that could knock many accomplished adults out of the park. They have spent their entire high school careers studying and participating in various extra-curricular activities that allowed them to be competitive in the admission processes of some of the best universities in the nation.

c. The prank, which was a harmless act of releasing stress after a month of AP preparation and testing, was representative of the four years of hard work, and seniors having a bit of deserved fun after an incredible high school career.

Again I plead with you, learn the facts before you go reporting falsities and tarnishing your own journalistic reputation.
