Griffin Larson, Arts and Entertainment & Visuals Editor
Griffin Larson is a sophomore in his second year at the Southerner and is taking on the role of Arts & Entertainment and Visuals editor. He has many well-loved articles, including a Best of SNO piece. Griffin enjoys Newspaper because it's a way to explore his interests and grow his writing. In A&E this year, he hopes to see it have an emphasis on the arts within the South community. He is also excited to start with print and work with new staff writers.
Outside of South, Griffin can be found swimming for the Minnesota Flyers and South, taking photos, watching TV and movies, lifeguarding, and listening to music. He swears he doesn't have a favorite artist but he does like Post Malone (his first few albums only!). He loves the TV show The Bear and has written about it in the newspaper before. Griffin is excited for a new year of the Southerner.
![A power outage on Friday May 12 before the start of the school day led many students to leave the building and miss parts of first, second and third hour. “[Staff at the front door] said the power might be on at 11, so [we should] come back to school at 11,” recalled freshman Riley Olson. “A lot of people went back home.” However, Principal Afolabi Runsewe claimed and maintains that students were told to stay in the commons and were never given the option to leave school.](https://www.shsoutherner.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/power-outage.png)
