2026 Junior Formal Moves to Westchester Manor

Junior Formal has always been an opportunity for students to dress up and socialize with one another. In the past, it has always taken place in the Cochran gym. This year, however, student advocacy has resulted in a change of location to Westchester Manor. Kevin Ruffler, the junior class advisor, explained how there were various groups and meetings involved with the location change; he explained that he “met with the student representatives in June who ultimately decided to bring this issue up for a vote with the grade,” and later “spoke with parents for two hours in June to discuss the possibility of moving Junior Formal.” Ruffler continued to explain parental involvement in the decision, saying how “parents felt strongly about their ideas” but “the meeting ended on very good terms with everyone agreeing that we would respect the decision that the junior class made.” There was then a vote where the junior class could decide whether they wanted to keep the event in the gym or move it off-campus. The idea of promoting student autonomy was expanded upon by the creation of the Junior Formal Theme Committee, run by Student Council President Kai Ghalib. Namely, this new student initiative is “designed to brainstorm ideas for the theme,” and is “open to any junior who wants to share their ideas and join the discussion.” Ghalib shared that the committee recently decided on three options: Great Gatsby/Roaring 20’s, Enchanted Forest, and Ancient Greece.

A look at Mamaroneck and Lakeland's NYS field hockey semifinal games

Two Section 1 field hockey teams have made the state semifinals. Both Class A Mamaroneck and Class B Lakeland will play Section 4 teams Saturday at Arlington High School in Freedom Plains, hoping to qualify for Sunday's championship games, which Arlington will also host. Below is a capsule look at those games. Mamaroneck (19-1) vs. Windsor Central (18-2) When: Saturday, 11 a.m. Where: Arlington High School, Freedom Plains Key players: Mamaroneck — Lily Brickman, Sr., F; Meredith D'Arcy, Jr.,; Emilia Devendorf, 8th grade, F; Talia Grill, Jr., MF, Mamaroneck; Ava Lawlor, Sr., D, Mamaroneck; Emilia Londrigan, Jr.,F. Windsor Central — Claire Beattie, Sr., MF/D; Ana Cartagegna, Fr., G; Elsie Conway, Jr., MF; Berkley Ingram, So., F/MF.Vienna McCombs, So., MF/D; Outlook: No matter what was said from preseason practice on about their one-game-at-a-time mentality, the Tigers had to have thought about the possibility of facing Windsor Central again in the postseason. Last year, it beat Mamaroneck 2-0 to win the state Class A final. That thwarted the Tigers' plan to three-peat as state champion. This came a couple of years after Mamaroneck, down 2-0 to Windsor late in the fourth quarter, tied the score and won in double overtime in the
