Fondest Memory:
Editor printing the paper late at night to meet a deadline, 10 – 12 students total. He recalls what an adrenaline rush it was and how much fun they had. There was a sense of satisfaction in doing “whatever it takes” to get it done.
Word of Advice for our Students: Make the most of your experience. Don’t fritter it-live-take advantage of what life and school have to offer.
