Hello, hello!
My name is Hana Muslic and I’m the Oracle’s 2012-2013 copy editor and business manager!  This means I’ll be making the paper publishable in two ways: helping fund it by selling ads and making it a good read for everyone by proofreading it.  Aside from my daily duties here on staff, I live a pretty busy life.  I’m working at Raising Cane’s, interning at a nonprofit called GROW Nebraska, singing and dancing in our Varsity show choir, taking three AP classes, and looking at colleges.  In my occasional spare …

Hi!  My name’s Tamar Harris, and I’m editor-in-chief of this years Oracle.  The entire staff is super excited for this year and wants to roll out the best possible Oracle ever, both online and in print!  At school, I’m involved with the speech team, NHS, Teachers Abroad Program, and I’ll be president of the Global Zero club.  Outside of school, I obsessively watch hockey, bake cookies, and spend too much time asleep.  I love to work out, do lots and lots of yoga, and go for long runs and walks.  …

I’ve recently picked up tennis, and haven’t put it down since. It’s an easy-going, cardio filled sport that allows me to participate in a team while competing individually. Cheerleading, has the same aspects but also helps get me comfortable in front of a crowd, increases my flexibility, and of course improves my dance moves! I aspire to go as far as possible with my education, which will include as much English as possible. Early in elementary, I fell in love with reading and the creative words authors would spin throughout …

As a journalist, I truly love to write about stories I can connect to, and enjoy writing about.  I also find that letting people know about events or people in our high school or city community will hopefully allow them to connect and involve themselves into the community. As a photographer, I believe not only that a photograph is worth a thousand words, but that it allows a person to see the moment, and feel as if they were there.  I hope as a writer and photographer that I can …

By Quinn Baillie
Hello everybody!  My name’s Quinn, and I’m a junior and new writer for the Oracle staff this year.  When I don’t have my nose in a textbook here at school, you’ll most likely find me either working, dancing, or attempting (in vain) to complete my homework.  I’m not a big fan of having a busy lifestyle, though, so to wind down I like to play video games, watch movies, play the piano, or maybe pick up a book.  I don’t have much else to say other than I’m …

By Alex Andersen
I love to know what’s going on. If something is going on, I will find out the truth and events behind it. Everybody deserves to know the news and I like to find it out, so why not be selfless and share that information that others deserve. If someone is beating around the subject, I press on until I get the truth, so be aware that there are little things that slip by me. No matter what the subject, news is news and it intrigues me to the …
