High Honors

In January, the John Brewster Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 11 students into its ranks. Each of the inductees was selected for their achievements in the organization’s four pillars: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. During the ceremony, the current Honor Society officers handed each student their certificate and pin, placed a tassel around their neck, and lit candles representing the four pillars. After new members recited the NHS pledge, they each held a yellow rose and shared a message of thanks to the people who have influenced them the most. Maggie Doyle ’24 (front row, left) thanked her Grandfather Ted for “showing me how to live life to the fullest, happiest, and most fun.” Paulina Trott ’24 (just behind Maggie’s left shoulder) included one of her Brewster teachers, saying, “I would like to thank Ms. Cornwell for guiding me and helping me grow as a person.”

Winni Classic Rocked

With more than 30 alumni, staff, faculty, and friends taking the ice on the new outdoor rink between Anderson Hall and the Smith Center, the Winni Classic returned to Brewster on January 7. Dozens more fans (plus a few pooches) cheered from the sidelines, and by all accounts, it was a great time—especially for the victorious White Team, led by former hockey coach TJ Palmer. Everyone enjoyed refreshments and a chance to reminisce at the post-game reception in the Grayson Student Center at the Rogers.
