Banner Adventures

This week was Homecoming at WestConn, and for Black & White, that means the annual banner contest! The theme this year was Wild Wild WestConn, and we had to incorporate that in our banner while also illustrating who we are as an organization. So, here is the final product:

   In keeping with the theme, "Black" was pasted on in rope, and "White" was done in black leather. As for the spiders? If you've picked up a copy of last year's annual edition, you will see our very own Becca Simas's short story, "Eight," which involves undulating cacti, poisonous spiders, and a warning from a man named Ed Darwood: "Bites from those spiders could even kill you." We thought "Eight" would be the perfect basis for our banner.
   Unfortunately, we did not win the contest, but we had a lot of fun participating.
