Writing
Stories are at the heart of journalism, usually expressed through writing. During my time on staff at the JHS Black & White, I have written a variety of stories from what it's like being in the spotlight as an athlete to the variety of diets that students follow.
1/1600: Cameron Miller
With a cup of coffee in hand, Cameron Miller ‘19 walked into his studio. He set the coffee on his desk and proceeded to get out his instruments. Recording on his computer, he sat down in front of his drums and played for a bit.
Taking Care of Business
The student section is empty, the turf untouched by cleats, and the stadium completely silent. It is three hours before gametime. Running back Jordan Rusch ‘20 sits in the locker room by himself in his usual spot, headphones in and beats turned up.

Chris Yao ‘19 is one of many students experiencing burnout as the school year comes to a close. “I’m in an econ class,” Yao said. “I have 17 assignments that are overdue and the class ends in three days, so I should probably finish that soon. But I just don’t feel like doing it.”

More than a Headache
As Madeline Proudfoot ’20 sat in class, a sharp pain began to stab the top of her head. It was the beginning of her eighth-grade year and she had no idea what was going on.
