A night of fancy attire, good food, and prizes is what every senior looks forward to at Northview, their Prom! This year, everyone came dressed in their best masquerade attire ready for an unforgettable evening. The night started off with pictures at the Toledo Museum of Art. This year, some couples got into a bit of a squabble trying to obtain the perfect background for their pictures. Before anyone knew what was happening senior Emily Thielen had ripped the sleeves off of her dress, wrapped them around her head like a sweatband, and started using her black

belt in karate to move people away from the location she wanted to use as a backdrop. “I was just trying to get some pictures with the pillars. I don’t know why people just couldn’t understand that,” Thielen said. After the somewhat chaotic start to the night, the students participated in the Promenade, a Sylvania tradition where students walk through downtown Sylvania displaying their attire and their date. This year was special because each student got a free slice of J&G’s Pizza as they walked past the restaurant. Although it was a nice appetizer before dinner, it made for some interesting pictures and even a few stains

on dresses as the pizzeria got a little creative this year with how they chose to disperse the slices - uses a pizza slice shooter. “The pizza was great, but my date got it all over her dress. I told her not to wear white, so she can’t blame me,” senior Avinash Singh said. Finally, after the minor inconveniences, the students arrived at the Renaissance to truly begin their night. The only dinner option was pasta in order to save money, but senior Justine Umfleet said it was the highlight of her night. “We had to make some financial decisions we weren’t sure would be popular, but these buttered noodles are to die for,” Umfleet said.

Senior Daniel Klein was the first one to step out onto the dance floor. “I’ve been waiting for this night since Homecoming. I love busting a move out on the floor, and knew that I had to be the first one out there,” Klein said. Unbeknownst to him, Principal Mark Pugh had the same idea and was not happy that Klein beat him to the dance floor. “I mean, it’s my first year chaperoning the Prom. Of course I want to be the first person to show off my moves. There was only one option, a danceoff. It’s safe to say Mr. Klein did not win,” Mr. Pugh said. Even though the evening wasn’t perfect, the students were just happy that it didn’t get canceled due to the coronavirus.

Class Olympics scandal erupts

Class Olympics was surprisingly canceled after a cheating scandal this year, which is still being investigated. It was a very close race going into the event with sophomores leading at 150 points, followed by the freshmen at 125, then the seniors at 115, and then the juniors at 100. Seniors were bringing in big points in surprise new events such as sky diving, paintball vs teachers, and miles run the fastest on treadmills. Not to be outdone the juniors made a huge comeback in other new events such as guess the number I’m thinking of run by math teacher John Eckhart who chose numbers anywhere between 0 and infinity and another new to NV game, no rules rugby run by iMedia teacher Tami Blue. “I played in college, we always said if no one broke a bone, it was a bad game,” she said. All four classes came into the final lip sync battle with close scores, so this event was going to determine the winner, but that is where the trouble began. The freshmen took to the fake mics and immediately started to lip sync their rendition of judge, and psychology teacher Sarah Rhine’s favorite song, “I Want it That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. This surprised most of the crowd as it is not really a crowd

CLEARLY NOT A REAL PHOTO pleaser in 2020, but much to the surprise of the entire school, the actual Back Street Boys joined the freshmen to lip sync to Mrs. Rhine - clearly winning her over and earning the team a special bonus score of 200 points. Not to be outdone, the sophomores also brought out their own surprise guest, Post Malone to lip sync

“Circles” followed by the junior class who brought out the The Weeknd to lip sync “Blinding Lights”. All of this caught the senior class by surprise who spent weeks preparing a lip sync without a celebrity guest star. They could not be reached for comment. The freshmen were still in the lead

with the bonus points and the teachers and judges were still excited about the Backstreet Boys while the students were screaming about Post Malone and The Weeknd. Head of the Class Olympics Committee, Mr. Word, is still looking into the rule book to see if celebrity guest lip syncers are allowed.

Senior Issue - 2020

What did graduation look like in 2020?

ALL PHOTOS BY MS. HUEY There were many ways that the Northview and Sylvania Community came up with to celebrate the Class of 2020. On April 20 at 8:20 (20:20 military time) everyone turned on their porch lights and the stadium lights at the high schools were turned on to celebrate the seniors and seniors decorated their front doors. STUCO helped support local businesses by providing people with the opportunity to “adopt a senior” where they could send them treats from local bakeries. Parents had a drive by parade on Silica Drive for seniors, waving and honking their horns as seniors wore their caps and gowns on May 30. And lining the streets of downtown Main street are the photos of senior athletes of the spring sports in recognition of their missed sports season.

While graduation may have been a very different process this year than ever before, the staff of NV had it down starting with the graduates arrival at NV with their families in the parking lot where they checked in with Mr. Davis and Mr. Word. From there they proceeded to wait with Mrs. Bohland before heading into the PAC lobby for a photo op with Willy the Wildcat. After that, the graduate and their family watched the previous senior walk across the stage and received instructions from Mrs. Schloegl. Finally they graduated while Mr. Malcolm read their name and accolades and Mrs. Martin gave them a little bit more information before their big moment. No pressure, Mrs. Musgrove was there next to the camera to remind them when to move their tassel over. After that they took a professional photo with Kurt Nielsen Photography and then they stopped by Mrs. Omey for that letter they wrote themselves freshman year.

Hailey Brothag Photo Editor The Senior Issue is undoubtedly something I have been looking forward to writing since I joined the newspaper staff in my sophomore year. But, now that the time to actual write it is here, I want nothing more than to be in my sophomore year again. I am not ready to say goodbye yet. Especially in this way. I hate the idea of my goodbye being from a digital issue of The Students Prints; not in person with hugs and good times. Either way, I have to accept it and I’m gonna start my goodbye off with the top three things I will miss from my senior year. 1,) Spending all my time in the Pub. Whether I was doing work or not; the Pub is and always will be a second home. 2.) Never leaving Madame Liske’s room. If I wasn’t in the Pub… I was across the hall. 3.) The never ending love and support I felt from all of my friends and teachers. Now, I know I am going to experience so many more amazing things in my life, but I will always love and miss the people who I got to experience high school with. For example the beautiful Anastasia Carter, who welcomed me with absolutely nothing but love during my first year on staff. You introduced me to your other friends and helped me make friends with other people, which I never thought I could do. Our friendship has grown so strong since the first year, you have become my go to. Always supporting me in everything I have done and giving me some amazing memories. I have so much to say about you but just know that no matter what happens with us in the future, you will always be someone I hold close to me. Ms. Huey, without you none of this would even be possible. You introduced me to the world of photography and writing, which I fell in love with right away. You have always been here to listen to me and everyone else on staff. Always right there to help us when

Senior Issue - 2020

we yell “HUUEEEEYYYY”, from the other room. During my interview for a staff position, I knew right away how welcoming and accepting you are. I have always felt welcome and comfortable there even in my sophomore year; when everythings all awkward and nothing’s comfortable. Huey, I can’t wait till I can come and visit next year. Thank you for everything. Madame Liske, first and foremost, I am so grateful you came back to teach at Northview. I was ready to drop out of French until I saw who my new teacher was. I have been so lucky to know you for six years and have you as my teacher for, I believe, five of them. I have gained such a passion and appreciation for the French language and culture because of you. Thank you immensely for opening up my eyes to new things. I’ll visit soon. I have many people I could sit here and write about but I wanted to say thank you to these

three in particular because they have made the biggest impression on me. For the Dream Team and my friends in French class, I love each and every single one of you. A few names specifically would be Bree Fangman, Emma Swanson, Lindsey Hubay, Aaron Houck, and Maia Dray. Each of you has taught me something, whether it be to work hard for what you care about like Lindsey or live carefree and have fun like Aaron. Teachers, there are a few of you I would like to thank. Mr. Kwiatkowski, Ms. Stefango, Mr. Hazel, Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Schloegl. You all have made a lasting impression on me, and in some way or another made me a better student. Thank you for all that you guys have helped me with. High school, I will miss you and I am sad that I didn’t get a normal senior year but I am happy I got to experience something special. Thanks to everyone andddd goodbye.

Eve Gross Sports Editor We spend the beginning of every year on the newspaper staff learning about how to write a good story. One important thing we learn is how to write a good lead to draw the reader in. So, after one year of Introduction to Journalism and three years on staff learning about leads… I am proud to say I have no idea how to start this “goodbye” off. I’ve known I’d have to write this for three years now, and I’ve definitely spent some time thinking about what I want to say, but now I just have writer's block. I guess I’ll start from the beginning… I made sure I had Intro to Journalism in my schedule. I was so excited to take the class with Anastasia Carter. When we walked into Ms. Huey’s class that first day of freshman year, we had no idea how many fun memories and how many friends we were about to make. Without a doubt, I went in for an interview for The Students Prints. My sophomore year I was a little bit intimidated, if I’m being honest. Everyone knew what they were doing and I didn’t. But, quickly I got the hang of it (thanks Riley). By the end of that year, I had made so many friends on staff, friends that I know I’ll have for a long time. I was so excited to be the Sports Editor. Junior year on staff was the best. We all got really close, and our little group called each other the “Dream Team (as editors)”. I love each and everyone of you guys (and miss you too), so here’s a big shout out to Marian, Steven, Max, Ana, and Hailey. Of course, I can’t forget Emma and Bree (our big dogs of course). Bremma, you were (and still are) the big dogs for us pups. One of my favorite memories was going to Trapped Toledo (and not getting out, but that’s besides the point), and then Chipotle afterwards, which was a wild ride to say the least. The 2019 seniors last day was a pretty emotional one. I was so sad to see almost everyone on the Dream Team leaving and I knew things would be

different the next year. Senior year was definitely different, but still just as good. I want to give a big shoutout to Ana, who has been with me on staff from literally day one. I’m so proud of you for being such an amazing Co-Editor. Also, thank you to Tyson (and Ben) for making the newspaper a little bit more interesting everyday. Keep up everything you’re doing and take good care of the sports section next year. Last, but obviously not the least, I wanted to give a big thank you to Ms. Huey. I’ve had so much fun being on staff and I’ve learned so much. Honestly, I never thought I would have so much fun making the newspaper, but I absolutely did. Thank you so much for teaching us and basically just being the best. Anyways, I still can’t believe I’m a senior. Four years FLY by. If you’re an underclassman reading this, please cherish every single moment of these four years, even the tough times. I never imagined my senior year ending like this, but I’m beyond thankful for the memories I did get to make otherwise.

Kenzie Lisowski Business Editor I started my Journalism journey with Ms. Huey back in 2016. The second semester of my freshman year. I was lost to say the least. I knew that I loved taking photos and decided to take Art of Photojournalism. I fell in love with the class. Everything about it made me look forward to walking through that door every day. I took a break and was looking at classes to take my senior year. I saw yearbook and asked to be in the class. I am so incredibly glad that Ms. Huey put me in journalism instead. I have met the most wonderful people in this class. The little group of friends that I have made, I will cherish forever and hope to continue our friendships throughout our lives. Anastasia, you have made me such a confident person. You radiate positive energy and have such a carefree attitude. Every time I am with you, I feel much more confident in myself and feel the need to step out of my comfort zone. You are a gift to not only TSP and Northview, but to the world. I can’t wait to go to college with you and see the amazing things you do and who you become. Hailey, you are such a bright light in so many people’s lives. Especially mine. I feel close to you even though we barely hang

To close off my senior goodbye, I would like to have some honorable story mentions. Thank you Marian for the Llama, it will always have a place in the Pub. Steven, Ana, and Marian, Spongebob may have been ripped in half, but he will always be in our hearts. Max, I will never forget “Max Files” and of course the Maxi Taxi (iconic). Maia, everytime I think about you falling backwards in slow motion out of the rocking chair in the Pub, I laugh. Ana and Jer, I will forever remember our seventh period lunches. As I mentioned before, our two trips to Trapped Toledo will always be remembered (and I’m still upset we never escaped). Ana, I remember telling you I was going to put this in my senior goodbye right after it happened sophomore year - you’re welcome for helping you get unstuck from the barrel when we were playing laser tag (even though I was on the other team). Lastly, I will never forget all the stories and pages I was proud of. I’m going to miss stressing out at work nights. I’m forever thankful for the memories and friends I made just through newspaper.

Congratulations

out, but I cherish your friendship more than you’ll ever know. You always keep it 100% real with me and I am so grateful for that. You’re an amazing photographer and I cannot wait to see what you do with your amazing skills. Maia, or May as I love calling you, you are one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. You’ve gone through so much and came out of it with such dignity and grace. I am so incredibly proud of you and all you have accomplished. You’re such a hard worker and I aspire to be even the slightest bit as hard-working as you. Ms. Huey, you are such an inspiration to me. You’re so kind and push every student you come across to do their absolute best. Thank you for always believing in me and allowing me to be myself in your classroom. And to all of my fellow journalism classmates, thank you for putting up with me and my crazy antics. You all do such amazing work to make the newspaper what it is. Thank you for everything you do. I’m going to miss journalism so much but I’m ready for this new chapter in my life. And to the juniors; work hard. Keep your grades up your senior year. But don’t forget to have fun :) Sending you all love, Kenz Lisowski

to The Student Prints seniors we will miss you more than you know! Come back and visit us in the Pub next year when you can give us hugs!!!!! - Ms. Huey and the staff :)

Daniel Klein Staff Writer

Grant Hartnett Staff Writer Well as we hit a special mark in our lives we take some time to reflect on memories, milestones and opportunities that we were blessed with in our chapter. I can firmly say that I am a better man because of Northview High School. The teachers that I have had the opportunity to learn and grow with is something I would not change for the world. Since my freshman year coming to Northview I knew I would love to be on the newspaper staff, well for that matter a class that gave me the opportunity to work with Ms. Huey! My sister had been through newspaper and she always used to tell me that Ms. Huey was so informative and demonstrated a great class structure while also preparing her for the next chapter of her life. Writing is a huge part of college and I really wanted to take the opportunity to learn from one of the best that our school and district has, Ms Huey! So there's the truth, I started taking newspapers because I wanted to get prepared for the next chapter of my life and for the rest of my life. But like most young boys and immature people do, I fell in love. I fell in love with writing about my passion, I think in my newspaper tenure I only wrote sports stories, but that’s the thing that is what I was most passionate about and I loved what I was doing. My junior year I was just getting started and learning from a really great writer, Patrick Andres, now a sophomore at Northwestern University. What was really cool about this experience was that Ms. Huey

was always telling me to learn from him and I will always cherish that, because if it weren't for him my stories probably would be no good and they're not great, but he definitely had a huge impact on my writing style for sports. Continuing on to the diversity of the newspaper staff is something I always respected and will cherish these relationships. The newspaper is a small group but the thing I enjoyed most were my friends, they’re probably people I would not normally have had relationships with if it was not for the class and I am thankful for that. I had to step out of my bubble a little bit and honestly junior year I was a little quiet. All these people were friends and I sat at the

Aaron Houck Staff Writer

“Never respond to rudeness. When people are rude to you, they reveal who they are, not who you are.” If I’m being 100 percent honest, I have no idea where to start this. I guess starting back during freshman year is a good place. There is not too much that I remember from my first year at Northview, other than being made fun of, embarrassed, humiliated, judged for who I am, and being confused in my own identity. So, I decided to join theatre, to find an escape from the dark times in between classes and the loneliness that I was regularly feeling. From day one of my first production, I knew that being on the stage is where I belonged. As time progressed, I would make new friends, laugh, feel safe and welcomed, and most importantly, I started to discover who Aaron Houck is today. Unfortunately, life started to take a turn. I found myself being made fun of, once again, and being excluded from events that all of my best friends were going to. I came to the realization that some of these people were no longer my friends.

Senior Issue - 2020

They were the ones who were bullying me. There’s so much that went on during my first semester at NV that I won’t go into detail about, because this isn’t the place to directly call someone out, but just know that what I went through, was nothing close to enjoyable. Flash forward to my sophomore year at NV! This year was one that I will never forget for a few reasons. First off, I came out as gay to my family and officially to my friends. This was a decision that was hard for me to do because I have always been called derogatory names and bullied for something I can't control. However, I was over-

table by myself, ate lunch, and worked on my stories but I am thankful for the opportunity to cherish relationships that may not have been made if Ms. Huey did not encourage me to join the newspaper. So to wrap it all up, THANK YOU, thank you Ms. Huey for instilling a writing passion and a great work environment. I will forever be thankful for the newspaper classes junior and senior year at Northview. Thank you to my classmates and former classmates for being flexible and understanding of my sports extracurricular and just putting up with me! I would not change my newspaper class experience for anything.

come with nothing but love and acceptance after revealing such a personal piece of myself. I made honor roll for the first time in my life and I got cast as a lead in the play Exhibit This! The Museum Comedies! All was looking good for 16 year old Aaron. As you may have guessed by now, all good things must come to an end, right? Before I start talking about the worst year of my life, I want everyone who’s reading this to know that self-harm, degrading others and violence is NEVER the right way to solve any problem. This is going to get very dark, very quickly. The first few months of my junior year were actually really enjoyable. I had a good group of friends, and I was becoming more confident in myself. So, I decided to ask a boy to Homecoming. I asked him in private, in case he was not attracted to men, this way it wouldn’t be too embarrassing for him. He sadly said “no, but thank you for asking. I’m flattered, but just not attracted to guys like that.” This was the start to a long line of deep depression, anxiety and thoughts of suicide. I took what he said and moved on, but internally, I was sad because this was the first time that I felt

When we reach the end of the school year, sometimes we look back on all our memories and all the things we’ve learned and it’s hard to believe it’s only been nine months. What transpired in August and September can feel like years ago, because of the volume of experiences we’ve had since then. My time on the newspaper staff has been much shorter than several of my peers, but although it may not have lasted long, it has felt as full and eventful as four whole years. I’ve enjoyed writing since I was in middle school. So when I first became a student at Northview, I was excited to try to join the newspaper staff, something that my parents and teachers prodded me towards in junior high. But alas, I was too preoccupied with trying to take “more important” classes that would “further my education” and “look better to colleges.” I forwent joining newspaper in favor of, in retrospect, more mundane things like extra science classes. So, my excitement to report and write dwindled, and the newspaper faded from my memory. Whilst scheduling classes for my senior year, I desperately tried to take an AP Economics class, not because I have any iota of interest in economics, but because I wanted to ensure I had a strong-looking schedule when I applied to college. So, one last time, I was ready to choose a “better-looking” class over something that I wanted to do and would enjoy. Luck fell in my favor, though, and conflicts stopped me from taking econ. I was angry at the time, but then I realized I finally had the chance to participate in something I’ve always wanted to do. I was able to join the staff at basically the last minute of

the school year, something that would live on when I turned in my stories the day before they were due. When I first joined, it was a strange experience---I was a senior with the experience and know-how of a freshman. It seemed like everyone around me knew what they were doing, and I didn’t even know where to start working on a story. But I was given an opportunity to learn brand new things, and of course I had the fantastic and helpful staff around me. I got to learn and hone new skills I never had the ability to use in other classes. For example, I had the chance to learn how to make graphics for my stories in Illustrator---what science or English class could ever teach me

that? Trying my hand at this led to the creation of a graphic of a person that Lindsey affectionately calls “Stubby,” on account of his very short legs. Stubby wasn’t exactly pretty, but he represented something I made myself using new skills. Although I only was on staff for a couple months, I think back to how it could’ve been much longer. If I realized earlier that doing what you enjoy is more important than doing what you think some college will think is good, I could have had literal extra years of learning and growing. Though, I hope that through me saying goodbye to the newspaper and Northview, I help even just one person realize to follow what that their heart wants to do.

so confident that everything would work out. I fell into a deep state of depression, that followed with thoughts of helplessness and wanting to end everything, because that was what felt right to me. Continuing on, takes us to the spring of 2019. I was once again cast as a lead in the play Radium Girls. During this show I would lose friends, and learn that not everyone is going to stand up for you when you need them to. After some time went on, I was given the opportunity to host an exchange student from France. I was so honored and excited to have a French exchange student, plus when I would soon travel to France, she would be hosting me in her house! Having an exchange student was one of the most influential times that I’ve had during high school. Then, comes time to hop on Air France flight 377 to France. In France, I had so much fun being with my friends, speaking French with the locals and exploring Lyon, Annecy, and Paris with people who actually cared for me. Landing into August 2019, my last year at NV. I’m a senior, this is my final year, with prom, graduation, and planning for my life after I leave NV. Well, the year started off really well. I decided to stop participating in theatre because I had enough of, well, all the drama. Adding to this hard decision, I was faced with the realization that I would also leave my best

friend but for a much different reason. Everyone talks about how a toxic relationship is quite literally toxic. In my case, that was the definition of my friendship. A friendship, or romantic relationship is never worth fighting for, if you don’t even know what it is you are fighting for. After all, I learned that I needed to take time for myself and focus on my life, my future and my well-being first. So in February, I was presented with the opportunity to relocate to Los Angeles, California in January 2021. I took up the offer, and I will be moving to Los Angeles, alone and determined to make it on the big screen. I have graduated high school, set my goals in life and I am more than ready to achieve them. I have never in 18 years, felt more confident, happy and driven than I do today. My past is nothing that I am even close to being proud of. However, my past has led me down the path to become the person who I am today. I am so blessed to be given the opportunities that I have in life. I am so grateful for each and every day that I live, because as we can tell, tomorrow is never guaranteed. Even with my senior year ending during a worldwide pandemic, and not being able finish it off like I would’ve wanted to. I have learned that life is truly what you make of it. I just want to end this novel on one last note. Even though I was in a state of helplessness throughout parts

of my four years at Northview. I have come out the other end of the tunnel feeling better than ever. I would’ve done anything to feel the way I do now two years ago. I want to tell all of you reading this that suicide is never the solution to any problem. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If I would’ve taken my life two years ago, I would have missed out on so many things. I wouldn’t be moving to Los Angeles, I wouldn’t be graduating high school, I wouldn't have traveled to France, I wouldn't have been here when my brother got married, and so on. Please know that it gets worse, before it can get better. That in every dark situation, you will always come out feeling better than when you went in. You will always learn how to not let yourself fall into the same depressing situations that you once experienced. I love each and every one of you. You all have a voice, you all deserve to be loved and accepted for who you are. You all have the potential to achieve success, and you all deserve nothing but the best in life. Before I let you go, I would like to say to everyone who’s made high school rough for me, in the end all you have truly accomplished by tormenting me for four years, is you’ve made me a more resilient, stronger person. Stay healthy, stay positive, and stay driven. I love you, goodbye. -Aaron Houck, class of 2020

7 Freshman First Day 2016 Senior Issue - 2020

Justine Umfleet Gillian Myslinski Online Editor News Editor

Out of all of my classes, Newspaper is definitely one of the ones I will miss the most. The people and the atmosphere in Newspaper were special and one of a kind. I'm sad to have missed time with the people who made the class so much fun and exciting. I joined Newspaper because of how my friends and sister would always rave about how great it truly was. My memory of high school would certainly not be the same if I had not joined Newspaper. The Pub became a safe place that I always felt comfortable going to and a place that I had the most fun. I will always miss eating lunch with Anna and Hailey because of how fun they made it. Thank you Ms Huey for being such a welcoming teacher. I will be forever grateful for being in your class. I’m very excited to see where the future takes all of us!

Whenever I thought of writing my senior goodbye I pictured writing it in Ms. Huey’s room surrounded by my newspaper friends. I would have never imagined that I would be writing my goodbye on a Sunday morning before work for the online newspaper about a week before my social distancing graduation. Even though the year’s end was not ideal I will always remember my time on newspaper. When I started high school I don’t think that I would've ever pictured myself being a part of The Student Prints. I joined The Student Prints my junior year and it might have been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I don’t think I have ever met a better group of procrastinators. I have made so many quality friendships in the class and I’m so grateful that I got to be a part of The Student Prints. I will truly miss walking into Huey’s room and Hailey yelling hello to everyone to take attendance, Daniel always trying to beat Hailey when saying hello, walking from Huey’s room to madame’s room to find Lindsey, Reegan and Lindsey playfully arguing with each other, and the look on everyone’s face when Huey reminds us she needs to read our stories. The Pub will always be one of my favorite places at Northview. I ate lunch every day of senior year in there with a lot of my friends, I watched lots of movies on the computers, and occasionally did some work on them.

I will miss everything about the Pub from the pink couch to the tiny colorful paper planes stuck all over the ceiling. Newspaper was the class that I always looked forward to at the end of the day with my close friends.

Emily Thielen& Graphics Editor Features I honestly can’t really say why I decided to join the newspaper staff three years ago. I was walking around the halls my freshman year and thought it might be fun, so that same day I signed up for an interview, before I was even able to give it much thought. Somehow, that one random idea spiraled into three years of laughter, fun, and a lifetime of memories. The newspaper staff has given me lifelong friendships that I'm not sure I would have found elsewhere. Some days there's stress, some days there's arguments, but it's kinda like a fight with a sibling. You go at it, but the next day act like nothing even happened. Which would make sense, because in a way, the staff is one big family. We even made a family tree once. For some of us, we've been together for the past three years. I would say during the class period, but we were together everyday for much more than just the 41 minutes. Together during free periods trying to finish a page that was printing that day, staying after school for who knows

how long (mostly to just mess around), eating lunch in there, etc., pretty much any time you walked in the Pub you were guaranteed to find someone from the newspaper. The Pub became a home. Yes, there is terrible reception, and yes, you have to be there first to get the comfy black chair, but having that one place I always knew I could go (except during the yearbook period of course) is something so special. I ate there, I took naps on the pink couch, I watched whole movies and Netflix series on the computers, I hid in the darkroom, and so much more. I seriously cannot name all the fun things I've done in that room, and for liability reasons, I probably shouldn't. But mostly, I came to love the newspaper. After putting together more pages and stories than I could ever count, I can safely still say that the thought of interviewing someone for a sports story gives me anxiety, but I have a whole group of people that would go to that interview with me. The features section is

We truly were one big family. I'm definitely going to miss newspaper and all of the memories I made and I’m so excited to see what cool things next year’s staff is going to do.

definitely the best section for me. Becoming the editor meant I got first choice when it came to those stories, and I loved writing about all the big school events. I pretty much have a school dance story outline programmed into my head. But this section also allowed me to be more creative. I could pretty much write about whatever I wanted. Whether that was fall fashion or horoscopes I made up, I was always guaranteed to have a page that was anything but boring. Being the graphics editor also gave me a great opportunity to learn. Pretty much everything I did in Adobe was self taught, and I spent countless hours just trying out new things. If you were to go into the Pub files under the old newspaper from 2015, somewhere under the senior ads you might find some of my secret projects and test runs. But you didn't hear it from me. Ella, I am so happy that you are the one taking over as not only features editor, but graphics as well. I know you'll do an incredible job, and with you in the position, it's easy to say the

newspaper will be the cutest it's ever been. I want to say thank you to everyone who's been a part of that staff, especially this year. You have all shaped me or taught me something in one way or another, and I will be forever grateful. But also a thank you to Huey, for not only giving me the opportunity to be on staff in the first place, but for being so patient. Being patient when I needed story edits on the day pages were due, or showing me how to use the cutout tool on Photoshop even after you've shown me countless times, but also for just understanding that some days, students need a break. I am very lucky to have had you for a teacher every single year in high school. But finally, big thank you to my Boys’ Golf team story. The first story I ever wrote. I hated it, and I really tried to make someone else write it, but I stuck through it. It's probably terrible, but nothing less than the most memorable. The best lessons are both of these :)

Senior Issue - 2020

Anastasia Carter Co-Editor

Lindsey Hubay Co-Editor

“All good things must come to an end.” I’m positive this is a quote that many of us have heard, but as a senior and a Co-Editor of The Student Prints, it takes on a different meaning. Thanks to Introduction to Journalism, E6, the Pub, TSP, and Ms. Huey, I have found my calling in life, journalism, but also, I’ve found so many other things. I found my passion, my best friends, and a home away from home. I want to start by thanking the whole staff of TSP. You have all grown so much this year in so many different ways. I am so proud of each and everyone of you for growing into your own and taking on the challenges we were faced with. Because of all you, we’ll always have Volume 94 to look back on and think, “Wow, we made TSP history.” We made a whole issue from home guys! This is so impressive and I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with next year. Hailey Brothag, my Photo Editor, my partner in crime, my very best friend until the end. I couldn’t have known my sophomore year that you and I would become so close and end up being inseparable. Thank you for being patient with me, for struggling through Controversial Question, and most of all for being so helpful with EVERYTHING. There’s no one else like you around and I can’t wait to see what you do in the future. The Dream Team (as Editors), most of you guys have graduated, but you made junior year in newspaper one of the best. I’ll forever be grateful for trips to Trapped Toledo and late nights in the Pub with you guys. Reegan and Regan, the Co-Editors of Volume 95! I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with next year. You’re both so intelligent and talented, don’t forget the staff box. Good luck, I know Huey is going to call you the wrong names a lot, but you’ll get used to it. Lindsey, we definitely had our ups and downs this year, but we made it! Kim would be so proud (I think, I’m not sure how she’d feel about our fonts). I can’t wait for next year to reunite with Kirsten at OU.

About this time-of-year three years ago, I walked into my newspaper staff interview with Ms. Huey. I was so nervous that I wouldn’t get a position that I included my eighth grade computer class as “experience” on my application. Luckily, you already know the end of that story because here I am writing my senior goodbye after three incredible years on the staff. My junior year on staff, I became the Business editor, or as I like to label it, “the worst business editor in The Student Prints’ history.” Despite the tough position, it was the year where I truly started to value the work that I was creating for this publication. Also with that, I was learning important skills like how to print labels and create ads for those “lucky” customers who put the creative freedom into my hands. Throughout the year, I worked hard on my stories and my page designs, and I just knew I had to go for Co-Editor. I won’t lie, this year as Co-Editor wasn’t always easy. More work goes on behind the scenes than most would probably recognize, and it can be extremely overwhelming. But there was one thing about newspaper that never changed over the three years - the people. I knew that any stressful day could be combated by talking to Huey, messing around with Emily, Gillian, and Justine, or having… interesting conversations with Ana, Eve, and Hailey in the Pub. The staff behind The Student Prints are some of the greatest people that I got to meet during my high school career, which makes saying goodbye that much harder. It’s not often that you have a class with the same people three years in a row, so it made the environment truly a family by the end of our senior year. It’s hard to fathom that I won’t ever walk into the Pub again as a staffer, but I know how lucky I am to have so many memories to take with me on my next journey. I know that

Finally Huey, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for myself and the paper. You truly are the most influential teacher I’ve ever had. You’ve not only been a mentor but a friend, someone who I could bounce ideas off of and occasionally borrow food from. Underclassman, you’ll never find a teacher quite like Huey, so take her class! The Pub and E6 will finally be free from the human vulture. So I guess this year and this great thing are coming to an end, but it means a new chapter is starting. You always assume you have all the time in the world to do the things you want, but you don’t. Make the most of the time you have now, before you know it, you’ll be moving onto bigger and better things. It’s so important to live in the moment and enjoy what you have while you have it. Readers, if you’re actually reading this, always be looking for new stories and be curious and ask questions. The Student Prints will always be located in racks at the front door, so pick one up, and find out what’s new.

the staff will be in great hands next year. Regan and Reegan, you guys will do a phenomenal job. You are in such a position where you can really have an impact with what you produce, and I feel confident that you will make it count. I am so excited to hand down my role as Co-Editor to you guys, don’t forget to send the issues my way next year! Ana, working with you side by side this year was one of the greatest blessings in disguise. You are so caring and thoughtful, and I could always count on you for a good laugh. I am amazed by your passion for ethics in the newsroom, and I am so excited to see where your future takes you. This isn’t goodbye, since we have four more years together at Ohio University, but it’s the end of our time as Co-Editors. I saved the hardest goodbye for last, Ms. Huey. First of all, I must mention that I was the coach of Cal’s basketball team which was quite the honor, so thank you for that wonderful opportunity. I wish I could put into words the impact that you have had on my life. You are one of the teachers that I hope to be like in four years. Your care for your students outweighs all other aspects of your classroom. You are understanding, even when we annoy you by never meeting deadlines. You are patient when we are stressed. You are always someone we can count on, and saying goodbye after being your student for four years is incredibly hard. Your classroom is a home for each student who walks into it, and I am so blessed to have had the chance to learn so much from you. Please expect lots of texts, emails, and visits from me in the years to follow. Although our time together has come to an end, the memories that I’ve made will always be with me wherever I go. I wish everyone the best in their future endeavors! Stay in touch, TSP.
