While just one day prior, the heavens were pouring down what seemed to be an ocean of water, Westmont students were blessed with clear skies last Saturday for one of second semester’s most anticipated and enjoyed events: Spring Formal.

Spring Sing in retrospect

If you have ever wondered what it is like to live outside of “The Westmont Bubble,” you’ve been experiencing it the past two weeks. We are not talking about the 51st annual Spring Sing tradition where you ... refined your skills in working as a team, resolving conflict, compromising, working hard, managing your time, prioritizing. No, we’re not talking about the time it was raining and were all still having fun. We are talking about the “Spring Sing aftermath” that’s been weighing heavily upon our community: the Horizon Op-Ed articles and chatter around campus, voicing the element(s) of Spring Sing that were offensive and/or hurtful. This is real life.

Senior year: No regrets

One last test. One last course evaluation. One last trip to the beach. One last college suntan.
One last disappointing test grade. One last chance to degrade the professor whose approval proved so evasive. One last realization that sand got everywhere (even … there). One last college sunburn.
One last hope that Matt Bennett and Eric Zuidema will include you. One last reality check: they still haven’t included you.
A note from the Web Editor
Issue 20. The final Horizon of the year, and what a year it's been. It would not have been so great without our entire staff, especially our fearless Editor-in-chief, Bre.
Thank you, those who read, commented, debated and discussed our paper. We have so appreciated all of your input.
What comes next? In the coming year, I am stepping down as Web Editor. However, I won't be going far — Sophie Petti and I are excited to lead as Editors-in-chief in the Fall and Spring semesters, respectively!
To all, good luck on finals. See you in August!

As the graduating class of 2012 leaves Westmont College and makes its way into the world outside of Westmont, so also do several of the school’s beloved faculty and staff.
Barbara Kennedy, Westmont’s senior administrative assistant to the provost, said, “This year we have four retiring faculty and two high level staff people leaving the school, all of whom will be missed.”

The Westmont baseball team started their four game series with the Eagles of Concordia by splitting a doubleheader away from home on Saturday April 7th. After scoring an impressive 5 runs in the fifth inning, the Warriors went on to win the first game 11-5 but, after a series of errors, fell in the second game 12-5 after giving up six unearned runs. Fourth-year Tim Leary pitched seven innings and picked up the win in the first game. The Warriors mirrored Leary’s success on the plate and scored in five different innings producing 19 hits in the first game.
