Griffin Larson is a freshman, and is eager to join the Southerner staff. He is excited to build on his research and interviewing skills, and his journalistic writing through the Southerner. Larson spends most of his time swimming on the swim team, although when he has a moment of free time, he loves anything relating to technology, especially experimenting with photography, or building computers.

He also loves to watch action movies in his free time, and a favorite show of his recently was, ‘The Bear.’ His favorite restaurant is ‘Peppers and Fries,’ and his favorite meal would have to be a bacon cheeseburger.

Elon Musk’s recent takeover of Twitter has caused lots of skepticism among many people. “I think it’s just like this massive ego trip,” said Molly Reehl, a senior at South. “He paid way too much and he’s trying to fix it, but he’s trying to seem cool while also fixing it and it just isn’t working.” From mistreatment of employees to endorsing hate speech, Musk’s version of Twitter isn’t looking good so far and it’s only getting worse.

“It’s absolutely important to vote when you know what you want… It’s a very direct way to affect the place you live in. And I think if you have a specific way you want to change the place you live in… it’s a perfect way to do that,” says South senior Tennison Stinson. He, among others, believes that voting is very powerful, especially for younger voters.

South students in the Commons during lunch, most of whom are not wearing masks. This is just one example of how we’re starting to leave behind many aspects of the pandemic. However, some people don’t think that we’ve seen the end of it. “I guess I would say that I wouldn’t be shocked if we had another wave sometime during the school year… I think that’s just going to be how it is,” says South teacher Ms. Lucken Hills.
