This week, we’ve got a couple arVcles about West House wri`en by WesVans themselves, LaurenAdler ’23 and Amber Bhu`a ’23:
The first arVcle covers the presence of mice in the lower floors of French Hall, who have collecVvelybeen deemed “Remy the River Rat”. While this is by no means an ideal situaVon, credit to the WesVansof French Hall to make the best of things; “We’re building a be`er community, and we’re all going tobe good buds”, indeed!
The second arVcle covers the use of West Bucks in West House acVviVes. Many of you have alreadyused them at the Snack Shack on Saturdays in Fahey and Wednesdays in Judge. Enjoy!
West House has a busy upcoming weekend with Homecoming; House events including the spirit staVonsbefore the Homecoming Bonfire on Friday night (more details TBA to the ‘23s) and our annual HomecomingTailgate (which this year will take place on the Fahey/McLane paVo) starVng at 11am on Saturday. Lookingforward to celebraVng with everyone!
