![MORE THAN A GAME. With two diving catches in the outfield, the Lions showed up defensively, aiding in their victory over the Pacers. One catch was made by Atwood, and the other by McGraw. Throughout the game, the Lions knew that it wasn’t just about their victory today. “I think [playing for cancer] makes it bigger than just a game,” McGraw said. “Knowing that you have a bigger impact in this world than just who you are as one person.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/I70A1454-1-1200x800.jpg)

The students brought a variety of paints and mixed their own custom colors. “Instead of brushstrokes, we’re doing more dabbing, because it gives [a] better impression of tree foliage, rather than looking like actual brush strokes, because if we’re painting trees, we need it to look like trees,” Crawford said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2397-1200x900.jpg)
WLHS’s CAESAR opens on Friday
The WLHS Theatre’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Ceasar” will hold a preview performance dress rehearsal on March 5. Performances will be held on March 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at 7pm in the Black Box studio.
With a set created by West Linn art students, Ceasar’s graffiti-themed background sets a mood for the play set in 1599. A modern twist on a classic, the set and costumes set a tone for the play. With an all student cast, Ceasar will open this Friday.
In this final week of practice, they are tying together the loose ends. Linda Snyder, sophomore who plays Calpurnia, Ceasar’s wife, is ready for the show to start.
“I’m really excited for the show to start! We have worked really hard on portraying the classic Ceasar in a new fun artistic way,” Snyder said. “Playing a part of someone who foresees Ceasar’s death and desperately wants him to stay home is fun for me.”
Rehearsals started at the end of January so the cast feels ready for the show.
“This cast is amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience mainly because of the loving people within it. The cast makes it so easy to do what you love and love what you’re doing. Get pumped! Come see Ceasar!” Snyder said.
