Tatum Eschenburg ’25 is a senior and a second-year staff writer with a deep love for old music, Taylor Swift, Sza, as well as Frank Ocean. She finds inspiration through songs. Journalism has created a strong outlet for Eschenburg to share her opinions. “I like journalism because you can bring light to a lot of things, like current events and things students may not know lots about,” Eschenburg said “Finding a way to express your thoughts and ideas can be so important for the world around us.” Outside of academics, Eschenburg finds enjoyment in helping out with the school's Peer-to-Peer and Unified Basketball programs.She feels everyone should show up and support our school. Spending time with her friends and family has never failed to help grow a smile on Eschenburg's face. “Getting to visit my older sister in North Carolina was definitely a highlight of summer,” Eschenburg said. “I love being able to have the summer to spend time with friends and family while creating more memories.”

As an adventurous second-year staffer, Lucy Gabel ’25 will be taking on the role of a copy editor in addition to her extracurriculars and life outside of school. A ten-year softball player, Gabel is an avid lover of exercise and working out. This year will be her third season playing for South’s Varsity Softball Team, and she’s looking forward to returning to the field. In addition to her many school activities, Gabel is always trying to find balance through hanging out with friends and relaxing while watching “Gilmore Girls.” “When I’m not doing school, or hanging out with friends,” Gabel said. “I try my best to prioritize time by myself.” What she’s most excited about, though, is another year on Tower building her journalism skills and writing stories. “I like learning new things about people and shining a light on their stories.”
