The ‘Bruck,’ a reportedly
valuable form of currency created by
Scott Clothier, was exposed to the
public eye after a surprising leak of
information.
Clothier allegedly designs

and prints his own self-created cur-
rency for distribution among WFS

faculty. Originating from the words
‘bruh’ and ‘buck,’ the Bruck has made

its rounds around the school com-
munity as an esoteric method for

exchanging

favors. Cre-
ated during

the 2008 re-
cession, the

Bruck was
originally
known as the
‘bruh dollar’.
Due to its

lengthy na-
ture and incoherent phrase of ‘bruh

dollar’, the original name has been
shortened to the word Bruck. The bill
appears similar to a typical American
dollar to the untrained eye, but upon

closer look, one notices the emblem-
atic photo of Scott Clothier in the

center.
Nife Shoyinka ‘25, unlike

many WFS students, was not sur-
prised by the existence of Clothier

currency, nor the name representing
it. “He exclaims the word ‘BRUH’ at
full volume in our history class a lot,”
says Shoyinka. “At first, it started as

an ironic way to poke fun at students
who would constantly repeat it with
no context. But now, I’m honestly
starting to think that he just likes the
word.”
Clothier adamantly denies
any admiration for the word ‘Bruh.’
“It’s an absolute waste of space,” he
says. “You’re just contributing to air
pollution by speaking…If kids from

my old school walked into this insti-
tution and heard one soul say ‘Bruh,’

I swear, they would have 19 coronary
eruptions,
and their
left eye

would ex-
plode.”

The
Clothier
currency
was first

publicly uncov-
ered by Norval

Brown, a member of the WFS main-
tenance staff for more than 20 years.

Mr. Brown first witnessed the IB
History teacher using his currency to
purchase a plugin from Greg Miller
for his smartboard that exponentially
increases the volume of any movie
trailer shown during class. According
to Brown, the Bruck is incredibly
useful around the school; he always
keeps a spare Bruck in his supply
closet in the event of a depression.

According to numerous in-
side sources, Brucks can also be used

outside the WFS community in dire
circumstances.

Greta Munch ‘25 once wit-
nessed the distribution and usage of

‘Brucks’ after a field hockey game.
“I remember we were on the bus
coming back from a game at Delmar.
It was late, so we stopped at a Wawa,
and I’m pretty sure I saw Clothier
paying for his food in a different type
of currency.” Munch shares that her
confusion has now resolved itself. “It
makes so much sense. I’ve seen the
Bruck everywhere, I just hadn’t put a
name to it.”
In the modern economy’s
sporadic fluctuation, the “Bruck”

means everything, signifying pros-
perity and success.

With 75 Brucks, you can get

your neck tattooed by Clothier him-
self,” says IB World Religions and Glob-
al Politics teacher Donald Morton. “It’s

one of his greatest talents…I’m saving

my Brucks for the day when I can final-
ly, FINALLY get the phrase ‘it’s not a

nothing-burger’ tattooed on the side of
my neck.”
It seems that Clothier’s decade
long dynasty of Brucks may come to
an end. The Bruck’s recent exposure
to public eye ushers in a new period
of uncertainty for students and faculty
alike, leaving hundreds with a lingering
fear that they will never get their neck
tattooed by Scott Clothier.
