Meet the 'Winks of 2025!

Gbemiga Salu '27
Lagos, Nigeria
TENOR II
Gbemiga likes to give speeches at inopportune times. To address this, we’ve begun packing a soap box on tour.

Clementine Kline '29
New York, NY
TENOR I
Clementine is majoring in Classics to study some of the oldest parts of civilization—the Greeks, the Romans, Adam McPhail, etc. Also, before you ask, she's of no relation to Kline Tower... clearly the height genes don't match.

Jiayang Jin '27
New York, NY
BASS
When faced with his devious smirk, one can never truly tell whether Jiayang is severely judging you, or attempting to share an inside joke with you.

Max Ondik '28
Newtown, PA
BARITONE
Max is a man of many unique interests: mayors, gongs, isolated prefixes, and blue novelties, just to name a few.

Clark Wu '27
Shanghai, China
TENOR I
Clark was recently dethroned as the most easily startled Spizzwink. We would give him a medal, but the last time we approached him with a shiny object he went into his shell and refused to come out.

Frank Petty '29
Columbia, MD
BARITONE
Frank insists that every single intersection we drive through looks just like one in Columbia. We're debating whether a hometown tour is even worth it, since clearly we've already pretty much seen it all.

Nate Stein '28
Bowling Green, KY
TENOR II
Nate is in possession of 90% of the group's energy. He wakes up at 7AM and goes to the gym, and we don't think he stops ever, really, aside from when he's correcting us.

Brennan Ujda '28
Atlanta, GA
BASS
Brennan's pride was irreparably wounded when the waiter at an Indian restaurant in London refused to serve him their hottest spice level. He left the restaurant sweating while insisting it wasn't even that spicy.

Abril Tello Cornejo '27
Fairfax, VA
TENOR I
Standing at a towering 5’4”, Abril tends to get lost in large crowds. We can’t yet tell if this is intentional.

Frogby Sachs '29
Austin, TX
TENOR II
In addition to singing with the Spizzwinks(?), Frogby plays rugby. They came to our last rehearsal with two broken limbs and a bloody nose and said "you should see the other guy." We are incredibly concerned about this??

Ezra Zbar '28
New York, NY
BARITONE
Ezra likes cars. A lot. We quizzed him once, and he does know every car. It took a long time, so just trust us. Please. For your sake.

Harry Pambianchi '29
Madison, NJ
TENOR I
In his free time, Harry invents new Greek letters to use on his physics exams, because there aren't enough to cover what he's learning.

Josh Sugino '29
La Cañada, CA
BASS
The group was individually asked how many of an unspecified food they would eat. The second highest answer was 7. Josh said 40.

Jonny Duncan '29
Leavenworth, KS
TENOR II
Jonny has been in a perpetual nonchalant-off with a stalk of corn from his backyard since coming to Yale, but we are nearly positive he is winning.

Eason Rytter '27
New York, NY
BARITONE
Hailing from London and with his flowing locks, Eason is a veritable Prince Charming. If Prince Charming had an affinity for interrupting rehearsal with sound effects on his JBL speaker.

William Wei '28
Baton Rouge, LA
BARITONE
Willy is so good at miming, he can break the fourth wall... and fix it, too.

Eshaan Giri '27
Omaha, NE
BASS
If I had a nickel for each Giri in the Yale Spizzwinks(?) recently, I'd have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

John Raskopf '27
Darien. CT
BARITONE
John likes music. Like, a lot. He’s currently in seven musical groups on campus. We asked for a list, but said he’d get back to us after rehearsal.

Liam Richardson '24+1
Phoenix, AZ
Was a BASS
Liam missed being business manager so much that he became business manager of the Whiffenpoofs. He's lived all over the world, so he's the perfect person to lead them on their world tour. Liam is also 6'4".

Adrian Venzon '23+1
Las Vegas, NV
Was a BASS
After the ‘Winks, Adrian was President of Kasama, Yale’s Filipino students organization, and he thought long and hard about whether to do more a cappella, but then he realized that if he joined the Whiffenpoofs, he could be Will’s section leader. His decision was made.
