LETTER FROM the Editor

December is finally here, and with that comes a new issue! It’s time for some of us to hit the slopes, and for the others to sit and drink hot cocoa in the lodge. When the snow starts to make an appearance so does our lovely winter issue of The Crystal, bringing you more stories than before. As this year’s editor, I am stoked for you guys to indulge in a variety of stories to keep you up to date, and entertained.

It is very common to travel outside the state of Michigan for winter break, but what if you have nowhere to travel too? Ignoring our icy roads, and the cold snow that falls, you can find plenty of ideas. Weather that includes staying in your warm house, or expanding out into the sky high snow piles.

In this issue, we provide you with ideas to occupy yourself over the winter break, the outcome of our Midterm elections, proper etiquette as a parent in sports, as well as the new rules that were implemented at the start of the year. Make sure to also keep an eye out for the features of the fall play, Mutually Assured Destruction and potential upcoming shows.

As always we want to make sure that everybody enjoys what we are putting into our issues, so if you have requests or even suggestions don’t be afraid to shoot us an email, or even DM us @ lhscrystal1.

Hopefully, you enjoy reading this issue just as much as we enjoyed making it! As always, happy reading, Spartans!

Sincerely,
