Emily Bauman, Staff Reporter

Hello!  Really all that needs to be said here can be summed up in one quote said by a previous Journalism 3 student, "I'm back again for my third year in journalism and honestly, I haven't figured out how to write a perfect 20/20 article and I will most likely never figure that out".  So yes, I'm back, and no I still can't spell; bear with me. But other than that I'm a senior, I'm Student Council President, FCCLA President and a part of Senior Board. Thanks for reading!
