Remembering Lori Pleasants
Tim Saunders | Guest Writer
The home of Rodney and Donna Pleasants is sprinkled with solemn reminders of a young woman described as energetic and full of life. A picture of a young dancer sits as the centerpiece of a photograph collection that tells the story of a girl with the energy and ambition to try just about everything once.

Jennie Judy | Head Copy Editor
Senioritis set in about three weeks ago.

Senior moments are counting down the days to the next big assignment instead of graduation, weddings, or trips. Senior moments are looking around you and getting wishy-washy about this being the last _______ (fill in the blank here- Highlander Festival, fall, April, whatever).
