Lana Salahieh, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Lana, and I’m editor in chief this year! My hobbies include making frog rings, sending snail-mail to my friends, bullet journaling, photography, and napping. When I’m not working on Crier, you might find me in the band room, at French club, or at CCC. As a senior, this is my third and final year in publications, so I am ready to make the most of it!

FROM ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE Along with teaching from 7:35 a.m. to 2:35 p.m. five days a week, teachers deal with extra burdens all day long. These include staying up late into the night to finish up work, teaching to unresponsive classes, and sanatizing desks after every class to ensure the safety of their students.

INTO THE WIND Striving for the finish line, Charles Iverson, junior, runs during the Sectionals meet at Highland. “Even though cross country doesn’t involve passing a ball back and forth between teammates like other sports, you still have to have that team mentality and support your teammates because that is how success is achieved,” Iverson said.

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE Speaking on a megaphone to a listening crowd, Kayla Prowell, class of ‘19, recites a poem during the protest that occurred June 5. Kayla also later helped plan a second protest at the town hall. Munster saw a surge of students, graduates and adult support in response to the resurgence of Black Lives Matter this year, paralleling the peaceful protests that have been sparked throughout the nation, “We’re tired of having to do this. We’re tired of having to fight for our rights over and over and over again. We fought for them 300 years ago, we fought for them 100 years ago, we fought for them 60 and 50 years ago. We’re always fighting, and I think that we’re tired of being our own advocates. We’re tired of people not being tired of being racist."

PUB LIFE At the 2020 yearbook distribution, Crier and Paragon staff members come together to pose for a photo. The publications staff worked diligently over quarantine to produce the spring supplement, which was available to be picked up with yearbooks at distribution. "We put a lot of time and effort into what we make," Mia Terek, senior and Editor-in-Chief of Paragon, said. "It was amazing to see the hard work pay off. I am excited to see what the future holds for the publications."

During sixth hour Ms. Hannah Fus smiles for a picture wearing her clear mask. Facial expressions are a crucial component to learning ASL. “Some issues I’ve come across is being able to read the students faces,” Ms. Fus explains. “I wear a mask with a clear part around my nose down to the chin so the students can see my facial expressions without too much trouble.”
