After explaining their idea to a few friends they made a plan to stay after school to make the posters to hang. “People were sad and scared and we just wanted to make sure people weren’t forgetting those who were demoralized by what Trump has said. We wanted to do something that was less controversial,” said Baker.

SHEDDING LIGHT. Staffers and editors alike not only put together pages, but must make sure the pages highlight the most proximal, timely, and prominent stories. In-depth stories and interviews alike require hard work, discipline and a certain drive staffers learn to have. “As an editor and even as just a staff writer, this class is an extracurricular activity in itself. We spend long days and nights outside of school to create something worth reading,” said Benjamin Ruskin, 12.
