Entering her final year at South, Mira Haurani '25 is a second year staffer on Tower. Haurani is very active and can be found playing tennis or swimming. Beyond that, she loves to socialize with her friends and travel. This year she will be taking on the role of supervising web editor and can't wait for the Tower to start back up. “Something I enjoy about this class is the fact that everyone is able to show their creativity in different ways,” Haurani said. “It also helps connect all the students because we work together as a team.” This summer, Haurani spent the majority of her time working as a lifeguard and babysitting. With her additional free time she enjoyed hanging out with friends, shopping and soaking up as much pool time as possible. Haurani is looking forward to forming new connections and is here to help and guide the new staff members in any way she can. " I can't wait to meet the new staffers and help them with anything that comes their way,” Haurani said.

Outside of her position as a second year staffer on Tower Kate Dixon ‘25 can be found participating in sports and other extracurricular activities. When she's not busy with homework you will find her at practice for South’s varsity swim or softball team. Dixon believes that everyone on Tower has the power to implement creativity in their writing. “I’m a big opinion writer, because I like how there is so much freedom in what you can write,” Dixon said. Dixon loves spending time in the water like oceans, pools and lakes. In the summer she has fun lifeguarding at Lochmoore. Other than being the captain for varsity swim and softball, Dixon enjoys doing school clubs such as varsity club and link crew. “Clubs and extracurricular activities have always grabbed my attention. I like how there are other things to do at school other than homework and tests,” Dixon said.

Regarding hard work, seconnd-year staffer and Multimedia Manager Morgan Payne ’24 is driven by the word. From working multiple jobs to writing for two newspapers, Payne is diligent, dedicated and disciplined. “I work a lot, I have multiple different jobs, including the Tower which is a big job itself,” Payne said. “If I’m not at school, I’m probably at one organization or being a waiter at Antonio’s in Grosse Pointe Park.” Payne said she loves journalism, not just because her friends are in there because she loves to write. “Journalism has a special meaning to me because its a form of communication,” Payne said. “I’m a big talker and I love to inform, so journalism is right up my alley and is something I am going into for my career.” Outside of Tower, Payne said she likes to write short stories and is a part of different organiztions that empower young women. Payne said she can’t wait for a new year of the Tower and hopes other people will join too. “I would suggest anybody who loves to write, get along with people, get involved with your community to join The Tower,” Payne said. “The Tower has been such a great outlet for me to express myself, so join The Tower if you want that.”
