SPARKS FLY Trimming bolts, sophomore Carter Young uses an angle grinder on the frame of the team’s newly redesigned robot. The bolts had to be trimmed down due to being too long, a factor that would be a potential hazard. “The bolts were sticking out of the frame,” Young said. “So we had to grind them down to size to mitigate potential wire-snagging or injury.”

LEAVING A LESSON Presenting a speech at Little Italy in Dyer for publication’s banquet May 1, Ms. Sarah-Anne Lanman, publications adviser, centers her speech around three lessons she has learned throughout her time at MHS. The lessons she mentioned were: hold on to it, let it go, and work it out. “I was very proud of my speech,” Ms. Lanman said. “All those lessons were ultimately the main things I learned throughout my time here, starting with Mrs. Hastings.”
