WSHS sophomores William Shipley and Bonnie McClellan, who played the leads in “The Other Room,” with Del. Eileen Filler-Corn (D-41), who presented WSHS director Bernie DeLeo with a certificate for winning the VHSL State Competition. “I think the play teaches you to have an open mind about people who are different. We’re all different in some ways.” - Bonnie McClellan, West Springfield High sophomore “It literally brought me to tears. I think this is a play every student should see because it not only teaches students about autism, but it also deals with bullying. It opens your eyes to what really goes on inside the mind of an autistic child.” - Del. Eileen Filler-Corn (D-41)
