Drew Hess ‘27, a brand-new web editor, has a lot more to add to Tower than just his writing abilities. He joined Tower with the hope of finding something he is passionate about, other than baseball. “I used to like writing stories when I was younger,” Hess said. “I’m not super interested in any other subject, so I wanted to try something new that I really like.” Most of his time outside of school ,he spends playing baseball. He is completely committed to baseball, playing year-round for travel teams and playing for South as well. Most people wouldn’t know that in his free time when he’s not playing baseball, he has a hidden talent for Mario Kart. Regarding Tower, Hess is looking forward to his first year on staff. “The idea of getting to write about pretty much anything I want is getting me excited to be a part of this newspaper.” Hess said.

Oskar Grand is a staff writer for the Tower, and he is ready for his second year being a part of the Tower staff. One of his favorite things to do for the Tower is to record podcasts, as he finds it to be a really fun and enjoyable outlet. “I like the Tower because of all the freedoms in it. You can write about what you want,” Grand said. “It’s versatile. You can do podcasts, or I like to go to the event coverages to take pictures and stuff.” Outside of the Tower, Grand loves to travel. During the summers, he hardly spends any time in Grosse Pointe, normally taking time out of his year travelling to visit family or to go to different and new states. He spends time visiting his relatives, some of them being in Michigan and some of them farther away. “I just like going places. During the summer time I don’t really stay here,”Grand said.. He also loves listening to music, his favorite genres being hip-hop and R&B. “I think Tower is so nice to be in because it’s not like, you have to do this and do that. You can write about what you want, and that’s what makes it entertaining,” Grand said.
