In a new, modern age of Westminster, marketing teams and oversight boards have begun to incorporate the newly designed Westminster W into various aspects of our campus and student life. From new athletic uniforms to in-progress buildings around campus, this new symbol represents growth, progress, and a jump into the future of Westminster.
President Chief Ceith has decided that as the Spatio opens back up for the spring and the seal comes back to its place in the middle of campus, it will be replaced by the Modern W encased in a plexiglass green and white circle.
“We believe our campus will be more cohesive with this new addition,” said President Chief Ceith in a Catbacker meeting after announcing the decision. “The old seal clashes with the vibe of Blake Hall, and once the new building is completed, the seal would be an eyesore compared to the gorgeous glass and concrete structure right next to it.”
Students around campus are furious with the decision and have started petitions to get the old seal back to its home in Spatio.
“It’s historical,” said senior Manhattan Sang,“How am I supposed to graduate and step on the seal for the first time if the seal isn’t the same? It’s completely insane, not to mention ugly.”
“I started the petition to bring it back,” said Senior class president Tate McLackson. “They said it’s going to the High Museum in an exhibit about the history of Atlanta’s private schools. I suggested they take an old uniform, or a locker from Askew, not the seal! How are we supposed to play spikeball now?”
The obvious defensiveness from students shows they are not happy with the decision, but the petitions were overruled by the Westminster board.
“It’s moving Westminster in the right direction,” said an anonymous board member. “We spent a lot of money redesigning the W, and it should be recognized and seen on campus, and Spatio is the perfect place for that.”
As student efforts failed to stop the replacement, the new seal will be installed in late April, just in time for the seniors’ last week. Board members and other superiors on campus are excited for this change, while the senior class may be coming up with a new prank idea.
