Play ‘Becoming Brontë’ opens tonight at WHS

Fantasy mystery-drama based on lives of poet sisters By Abby Freese and Chayden Fitzsimmons heater students will present their newest production, “Becoming Brontë,” tonight at 7 p.m. in the WHS Little Theatre. Shows will continue Friday and Saturday this week as well as Monday and Tuesday next week. The play is a fantasy-mystery about three young women and their struggle to be the person they all want to become and a young man whose presence is so intoxicating it inspires the girls burning passions—all along with a haunted romance to keep things interesting. The play will feature junior Briana Bradley as Charlotte Brontë, sophomore Noah Schlekeway as William Weightman, sophomore Ruhama Tereda as Emily Brontë and freshman Tatiana Chance as Anne Brontë. Tereda said she is excited for tonight. “We have been practicing since mid-February,” Tereda said. The whole cast is beyond excited to finally perform for an audience.” Director Bryan Aukerman said all should attend. “This show offers strong, relatable characters and a sort of ghost story,” Aukerman said. “People who enjoy a drama and people who like a story that offers a twist should attend.” Tickets are $5 at the door.

Enjoy your last quarter of high school, seniors!

Encryption debate isn’t going away

This is all we have left, seniors—one quarter of high school. I know that they say when one door closes another opens and all that, but let’s not focus on that opening door at the moment. Let’s focus on that door about to close, and some of the events that will wrap-up the year for us. Spinsters, the last dance of the year for underclassmen, is this Saturday. I’m excited to be going with my date, senior Anna Buxengard, mostly because she is going to be buying my dinner! Fellas, take Hear me. . . advantage of this oppor tunity— guys pay all the time, so go for Josh Freese it—have the sirloin, and order dessert. Scratch that, order two desserts! Mr. WHS and the Beach Bash variety show are great ways to either show off your talents, or watch others show off theirs. For you freshman who have yet to attend a Mr. WHS event, you do not want to miss it. I’m bummed I won’t get to attend due to my Concert Choir trip to New York, but come on, I’m going to New York City! Prom, the last dance of high school, is probably what I am looking forward to most. It’s not only the perfect excuse to dress up nice and go somewhere fancier than McDonald’s, it’s also time to show off your creativity in the way you ask. I would tell you how I’m going to ask my special someone, but I don’t want any of the less original people to take my spectacular idea. So, Warriors, go out there and make the most of this last chapter of this story. We don’t have much time left, so take advantage of all the things our great school has to offer. Senior Josh Freese plans to order big on Saturday!

By Troy Wolverton San Jose Mercury News (TNS) The fight over encryption isn’t going away just because the FBI has figured out a way to glean the data off the iPhone used by a San Bernardino attacker.

Technology Watch Indeed, it’s only likely to get more heated in the future. Underneath Apple’s battle with the FBI are deep-rooted differences between the tech industry and the government authorities. And neither side is backing down. The Justice Department said Monday that ensuring that they have access to digitized data remains a “priority,” adding pointedly it will “continue to pursue all available options” to get at it. Meanwhile, Apple reiterated that its stance that the government’s efforts were “wrong” and “dangerous” and that the company would only increase the security of its products. But apart from the debates about national security and the ability of law enforcement to get information that they believe will protect us, we actually need encryption and security to get stronger. Encryption isn’t just a thorn in the side of law enforcement; it’s a crucial tool that protects personal data from thieves, hackers and others with malicious intentions. Millions of people have had their personal data — health records, Social Security numbers, credit card accounts — compromised, in large part due to lax security.
