Mr. Hill is out for the day, and he has appointed you to be Head of School for the day… Go!

The Willistonian took it upon itself to ask students and faculty what they would do if given the chance to step into Hill’s role for a single day. From replacing all meals with ice cream, instituting mandatory nap time , giving the Stu Bop ladies a raise, wearing onesies to school, and waking up to breakfast in bed, we collected tons of responses. Here is a list of some responses that particularly stood out.

“Charlotte Carr, a junior from Hingham, Mass., answered with the spirit of a true dancer.

“I would allow students to challenge their teachers to a ‘Just Dance’ competition,” she said. “And if they win, make their teachers give them hundreds on their classes.” Why she hasn’t been recruited for the dance team remains a mystery.

Sarah Markey, Senior Class President, claimed the responsibility would be too great, instead, she burdened a friend with the job.

“I think if I was Head of School for the day I would resign and appoint Natalie Stott to be the Head of School instead,” she said.

To which Natalie responded with an idea for her own version of a Head’s Holiday.

“I would have a holiday with a lot of food for everyone, pizza, desserts, and stuff,” she said. “I feel like getting takeout from Antonio’s would really lighten the mood.”

To announce it, she would send out a video “jumping off the bridge and into the pond while saying it.”

This seems like something Natalie would do whether or not she was the new Head of School.

Pierceson Squires, a first year junior from Wilmington, North Carolina, joked: “I’d make teachers go to the upstairs bathrooms of the Schoolhouse and see how atrocious they are.”

On another note, several teachers and students suggested we get rid of Saturday classes. However, Mrs. Staples, Art Teacher and Dorm Parent at Wold House, took it a step forward and proposed a fun approach to an otherwise dreadful start to the weekend.

“Maybe Saturdays could be for clubs, enriching programming, open mic, structured snacks & easels, or playing more games,” she said.

Longtime English teacher Sarah Sawyer flatly refused the job. Given the new position, she said, without hesitation, “I would quit.”
