Letter from the Editors:
As we embark on the spring of our senior year, we have been inspired, enlightened, and moved by the work of sixty years of Hilltopper history, specifically the satire, an art perfected by Needham High School students. Thus, we wanted to bring back the April Fool's Hilltopper edition. While our articles are legitimately the funniest thing to ever grace the pages of the internet, our letter from the editors must be VERY serious. This is our legal disclaimer: These are satires. They do not represent the opinions of the writers, the editors, the wonderful Mr. Flaggert, or even Hilly the Hilltopper. They are jokes and we hope you will laugh, not cry and tattle about our edition to the Needham Facebook group. Even if you are from Wellesley (we don't want you here!) or you're a bad junior driver, please don't take this personally. We love you very much! Thanks for your understanding, and happy April Fools Day!
xoxo,
Eleanor, Maddie, & Nicole

Junior Drivers = Best Drivers
By Talia Bloom and Peyton Whirley
We truly are impressed by the confidence new drivers portray. They seem to have no qualms while behind the wheel. We just hope their Jeep Wranglers are up to safety standards!

The Madness of March
The Madness of March
By Abigail Sprinsky
As we approach the end of March, the Needham High School staff reflects on their least favorite month of the year to teach. Why, you might ask? It’s not because the nice weather is distracting kids from their work. It’s because of the NCAA college basketball tournament known as March Madness.

Reopening the Pool
By Sydney Baker
With the administration planning to send us back to school full time, one question lingers in the minds of the students: when will the pool reopen?
Debate: Which Is the Best Staircase and Bathroom?
Debate: Which Is the Best Staircase and Bathroom?
Do students even care about which staircase they use? You may think that a staircase is simply a staircase and should be chosen based on location and convenience. However, I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Same goes for the second most important part of the high school building (after the staircases of course): the bathrooms!
