        Luke Block
Who’s that crazy, fun-loving, one-of-a-kind guy?  Why, that’s WHS Senior, Luke Block, the one and only!  A young man born to the stage, both as a singer and as an actor, Luke loves to push the limits and live life to its fullest.  A guy who loves the smell of the ocean, the taste of cinnamon and has traveled the world (at least five continents), this remarkable young man never fails to bring a smile to another’s face.  Some day we assume that Luke will have traveled to all seven continents and will probably have written an amusing little book outlining his crazy antics.  Luke is an amazing and talented young man who cares deeply about others and has a spirit that will make you smile in spite of yourself.

        Kim Yano
A creative spirit with natural leadership qualities WHS Senior, Kim Yano is described as a “go-to” student.  Kim has taken on extra work to help in yearbook.  Although this activity was new to her this year, she ended up being one of the strongest staff members, who took on the position of copy editor.  Musically, Kim works hard and exhibits great talent as a percussionist.  There, too, Kim’s leadership abilities have played an important role.  This fine young woman will be missed at WHS and will surely continue to excel in life.
