VOLUME 112 • ISSUE 11 NEWS BELL Your Guide to Greencastle HI-FIVES FIVE MONON BELL THINGS WORTHY OF A HI-FIVE THIS WEEK

ORACLE OF DEFEAT

Lo-Five to The DePauw for predicting that Wabash would win the Bell on Saturday. We agree with you, but come on. Even the band on The Titanic went down with the sinking ship.

GROW-OP

Hi-Five to the school down South for replacing the usual Wabash tailgate zone with a “Grow-op” community garden. As Wabash fans struggle to find parking and a place to tailgate, you might notice some lethargic DePauw students harvesting interesting-smelling five pointed leaves. Please ignore them, they are just trying to give back to the community and put the green in Greencastle.

PEP BANNED

Hi-Five to DePauw for hiring a DJ for the Bell Game and banning the Wabash Pep Band. This has to be the most Dannie move of all-time. Look, we’re not a big fan of Sweet Caroline either, but we’re also not looking forward to the DJ’s “fire mixtape.” Oh well. We’ll drown him out with the Bell anyways. After all, it’s the only time of the year they get to hear it.

BAD BELL SHIRTS I

Hi-Five to DePauw Student Government for putting the wrong bell on their shirts for the Monon Bell game. You can’t really blame them though. They’ve had the Bell so infrequently over the past decade that they’ve probably forgotten what it looks like. If they need a reminder, they can look over to the Wabash sideline on Saturday.

BAD BELL SHIRTS II

Hi-Five to Wabash for the mediocre Bell shirts. It looks like we took the easy route, just like The Bachelor’s comic for this week. In fairness, at least we got the right bell on there. Ding Ding.

I view that performance as being one that we were supposed to be having all season. It just took time for it to come together, especially considering some of the setbacks our team went through this year. I was very happy with the way they stepped up and competed in a championship race. [The team] showed that they are ready to take another leap forward.” The Red Pack’s performance perfectly exemplifies the ‘Wabash Always Fights’ spirit, and has given the team confidence moving into the regional meet. Leading the way for the Little Giants was Sam Henthorn ’20, who claimed first place overall in the NCAC Championships with a time of 25:42.7, and won NCAC Men’s Runner of the Year for his performance. Henthorn is the second runner in Wabash history to win the individual NCAC Championship title; Dominic Patacsil ’19 won in 2017. “Sam has been an outstanding leader on every level this year,” McCreary said. “It’s difficult to put a true value
