[edit] Improvements

Could some West Springfield students do some improvements?

[edit] Notable Alumni

Are there no notable alumni from our school? Some of the "Alumni of note" could go under a new section called "Notable Alumni" at the bottom. --Onionkim 05:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Too much emphasis on band

There is too much emphasis on the band program. Where is choir, orchestra? How about other programs in the school? It should be either all in or all out. --70.108.185.189 05:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

band freaks :o. well, im a band freak myself, so i cant say much lol. --The Fear 23:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

If the choir and orchestra students cared about it as much as the marching band students do, your question would be a moot point. These band kids work hard for what they do and earn. They have EARNED the right to be proud.

What, and students in the other programs don't? May I ask how much experience you have with these kids?

A lot of great work has gone into the West Springfield page and it shows. Random allum

[edit] 1991 Renovation

One of the US/VA History teachers today, Mr. Perccoco, said that after these renovations about 12 girls began to faint all the time, which basically mass hysteria... he said the media buffs were everywhere. Anybody know where we could get a hold of articles written? Thehockeydude44 23:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wspringfieldhs.jpg

Image:Wspringfieldhs.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Wang Chung concert

On March 31, 1987, the band Wang Chung played a concert at WSHS (that doesn't sound very cool in 2008 but it was at the time). Is that interesting or worthy enough to warrant inclusion in the school's entry? I've got the newspaper articles from the Post and the Journal, along with that edition of WSHS's Oracle. Somebody second this motion and I'll write it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LwsP729 (talkcontribs) 02:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
