Bowling program connects students with Wooster community

Mariah Joyce Editor in Chief While Scot Lanes may be noto- riously empty many nights of the week, on Tuesday evenings you can always count on the space to be bus- tling with noise and (mostly) friendly competition, thanks to a bowling club started by professor of sociol- ogy Thomas Tierney. Since the fall of 2015, Tierney and students of the College have met in Scot Lanes to bowl with adults from the Nick Amster workshop, an em- ployment program for adults with developmental disabilities in Wayne County, Oh. “It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve done here,” said Tierney. The program initially started as a component of Tierney’s First Year Seminar (FYS). The College was exploring ways to incorporate com- munity service into FYS’s through a program called the Community Connections Program (CCP).

Logan Hill ’19 (top left) is not saying anything, but her fashion is shouting. It’s screaming, “AUTUMN!” Her outfit, a nice purple sweater over a floral pattern shirt with her green skirt over leggings. Logan looks defiant but confident at the same time and I must say it is amazing. Keep up the fashion sense, Logan.

Kevin Smith ’17 (top right) just loooks chill. How do the kids say? If you look up chill in the dictionary, more than likely, you will find Kevin there, just staring at you. I do like his clothes though. The colors go well together and the shoes definitely complement his style. Add in the beautiful fall background, and you have your Happy Thanksgiving card for your grandmother back in Kansas.

Gemma Briggs ’20 (bottom left) must’ve been hiding from a make-up exam. With her choice of clothes, including the Wooster pants and black top, one would have trouble spot- ting her, especially amongst the fall foliage. I don’t know why she hiding though, she looks great! Especially the pose, which is definitely on model status.

Arthur Vidmar ’18 (bottom right) looks cool as fuck. The floral pattern of his shirt along with the seemingly carefree attitude gives a very approachable vibe. I haven’t met Arthur before even though I’ve been here for a year and the school only has 1,800 students, but best believe I’m going to be looking for him so I can add him on Snapchat. He looks just that cool.
