Warriors wrestle at Pentagon By Amy Walker Four Warriors placed in the top seven, and WHS took 13th overall with 55 team points at the Pentagon Wrestling Invitational Saturday at the Sanford Pentagon. At 145 pounds, senior Jack Bren placed seventh, winning a 15-15 decision over Jacob Harms of Harrisburg in a 9-4 decision. Bren said it was a good
tournament, overall. “Quite a few people placed,” Bren said. “We really need to work hard this week to prepare for Brookings this weekend.” In other placements, sophomore Tupak Kpeayeh placed fourth at 160 pounds, senior Jacob Wagner took fourth in the 170 pound weight class and senior Thomas Vissers placed fifth at 220 pounds.
“I was pleased with how my teammates and I performed,” Vissers said. “It was a pretty challenging tournament, and for four of us to place makes me very happy. We have had a hard week of practice to get ready for our next tournament on Saturday.” The Warriors will next compete in an invitational at 9 a.m. Saturday at Brookings High School.

Senior center Isaac Goeman is excited. “We need to stay calm and play the type of game we know we’re best at,” Goeman said. “Hopefully, the stitches on my face are able to intimidate the other team!” Senior Jack Talley said the team is ready.
“We had a good practice yesterday and we have a lot of energy,” Talley said. “We need everyone to come support us so we can take them down in their own house.” The fan-dress theme for tonight’s game at Lincoln is blackout.

Winter weather causes rescheduling By Carson Herbert Tuesday evening’s impending arrival of a winter storm that caused a two-hour late start to the school day on Wednesday also upset several regularly scheduled sporting events. The full-slate of both boys and girls basketball games scheduled for Tuesday were postponed. The girls were to have traveled to Harrisburg to take on the No. 1 rated Tigers Tuesday night. Those games will now be played on Monday, follow-
ing the same schedule. The boys basketball teams were also to have hosted Brandon Valley Tuesday, and will also move those games to Monday at WHS. Games at both sites will begin at 4 p.m., with the varsity at 7 p.m. To accommodate the game with the Lynx Monday at WHS, the boys sub-varsity games with Sioux Falls Christian previously scheduled for Monday have now been moved to Feb. 2.

Don’t let media define what is or isn’t beautiful about you
Tech sector getting more politicized
In our beauty and perfection obsessed culture, everyone these days is struggling to fit the image of the “beautiful” or “attractive” person that is plastered across magazines, social media, movies and television. Are we really going to let the mindset of others define what true beauty means? So what if you don’t have what the media has defined as a model material body, picture perfect outfits, or long luscious hair? Studies have shown that eight out of ten women are Hear me. . . dissatisfied with how they appear to others, so you are not alone in Maham Shah being self-conscience. And, it’s not only women—men have self-image problems, as well. Surveys have shown an increase in anxiety levels relating to body image in young people of both sexes. To put it simply, Americans are obsessed with beauty and appearance. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for a beauty revolution. It is time to stress the idea of true beauty revolving around who we are, rather than how we look. It is time to stress the idea that we are okay with our flaws. Not only okay, but preferred and adored. By accepting this internal revolution of true beauty, you allow yourself to open so many new doors to happiness and self-love. So here is my advice—indulge in that tub of double chocolate fudge ice cream, buy that oversized comfortable sweatshirt, finish that last slice of pizza. As long as you are living fully and being who you are, there is no need to fit the expectations of society. As artist and poet Khalil Gibran wisely said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” Senior Maham Shah strives to find the beauty in everyone.
By Tracey Lien Los Angeles Times (TNS) SAN FRANCISCO — Ayelet Bitton never thought she’d get involved in politics. Like many of her Silicon Valley peers, the 25-year-old software engineer cared about social and political issues but didn’t think it was her place to speak up.

Technology Watch
This changed Nov. 8. Donald Trump’s presidential victory sent a shock wave through the socially liberal but generally politically detached tech industry, catalyzing something of an awakening in Silicon Valley. Some tech workers who had long toed their companies’ apolitical lines saw Trump’s win as a turning point; the moment when they should become more vocal about their views. In the months since the election, some workers have organized protests. Others have joined fledgling activist groups such as the Tech Workers Coalition, or the recently formed Tech Solidarity. Many are now looking for ways big and small to allay their own fears of how a Trump administration might affect issues such as privacy, immigration and civil rights. “It’s no secret there’s a lot of privilege here in Silicon Valley,” said Bitton. “Now I feel compelled to stand with movements that don’t directly affect me,” she said.
