Below, in this hallowed hall, enshrined for all eternity, are photos of those noble souls who took up the gauntlet in Dr. Wheeler's writing courses. These individuals successfully vanquished their foes, either in single combat or as part of a team effort. They have proven themselves to be champions of grammar, and most worthy of induction into this esteemed catalog of heros. Their god-like mastery of active voice sentence structure, their deft skill with conjunctive adverbs, and their prowess with past participles, all these traits set them in a category above lesser humanity. Indeed, they are paragons for all grammarians to emulate. They are slayers of the dreaded passive voice, independent conquerers of dependent clauses, dashing destroyers of dangling participles, and fearless foes of fragmented phrases. Indeed, these word-lords are our last bastion of hope for the King's English in these barbaric times of civil decay. O ye students of the university, look to their light, and have hope! Look to their example, and fear not the corruption of our noble English tongue!

Reigning Champions:

Cassius: "Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus / And we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about / To find ourselves dishonourable graves."

--Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Above, we see the victorious team for the morning class. Even at 8:00 a.m., they can shine.
Tyler gives a triumphant "#1" sign.

Below, we see two members of the victorious 10:00 a.m. class.
Two of their team members weren't available to be photographed,
but you can feel their spiritual presence in the room.
