Dear Mattox,
Ellie Fischer: You are such a fun person to talk to, whether it was in Mr. Holleman’s class while we struggled with our websites, having to deal with crazy people in Journalism, in biology about Whitney Valentine and bubble letters with Gail, or in the fieldhouse hallway during homecoming with Megan: I’ll forever love hanging out with you!
Bridget Nuter: You’re such an inviting and easy person to talk to: from making jokes in J1 to chatting on the volleyball bench, you are somebody I know I can count on in more ways than one.

You brighten up our class and bring so much to our publication and everyone who writes for it and reads it :)
