Hey, my name is Alex Gentry and this is my third year at East, but first on the Oracle staff. I am looking forward to this year as a writer for the Oracle.

Hello all! I’m Jennifer Matthes, the News editor for this year’s Oracle. This is my second year on staff and I’m really excited to be a part of the Oracle again! A few things about me: I play tennis, I’m on the speech team, and I’m a member of NHS. I’m really into reading (generally classics or science fiction), watching endless amounts of British TV, superheroes, shopping, going to movies, and food. Lots of it.
 
 
 

I’m Emily. My first year on staff and I’m excited to publish my writing. I love writing due to the fact that I really enjoy reading.

A lot of the fiction writing I due is based or inspired by some of my favorite authors (Suzanne Collins, Lauren Oliver), but I also love journalism and journalistic writing as well. This year I hope to meet many interesting people and really have fun expressing myself …

My name is Conner Dwinell, and I am the Voices editor for the Oracle this year, as well as a senior here at East High.  I spend the majority of my time out of school dedicated to homework, with an extended amount of AP classes and an upcoming ACT I’m (once again) not quite prepared for.  When I’m not spending unhealthy amounts of time on academics, I play guitar and drums (previously for a ska/punk band and now occasionally in church), sing, work out, and spend time with my friends …

I was on Oracle staff for the first time last year and it was an amazing opportunity to grow as a writer. I learned how many stories are out there just waiting to be told and that’s one of the things I love about writing. I love having a place to share what I’m passionate about but also what others are passionate about. I’m now the online editor for Oracle and can’t wait to get that going again because I think our online newspaper is a great place …

My name is Emmie Johnson and I am a senior this year. I joined the Oracle staff this year because I enjoy reading and writing stories about the things happening around me and it’s a good experience seeing how many different styles of writing there are. I also do cross country and track and am a member of student council. It’s great getting to work with so many people that have contrasting opinions on all kinds of stories. I like to write in a way that is just …

Hello! I am a junior and am currently a writer for the Oracle. This is my first year contributing to the Oracle. I am extremely excited for the upcoming school year, and I look forward to working on the paper!
Apart from writing, I enjoy music and theatre. I previously played the cello and participated in Lincoln East Show Choir, but am currently more highly involved in Speech and Debate and Cross Country (the former a pastime that likely stemmed from my love of theatre and the latter a pastime I …
