I enrolled in yearbook sophomore year expecting to hone my graphic design skills. Instead, I was placed in the middle of never-ending tedium and frustration with little to no payoff: the project. Otherwise known as “Connect.”

As much torture as that was, I still decided to return to staff assuming the role of webmaster. And with an iron OCD fist, I transformed lhsbudget.com into what it is today with a much cleaner and more organized look. The website even won an award for the first time during my tenure.

But now I’m leaving and there is no one to take my place. No, the website is not going to implode after I leave, even though, as Zia Kelly admitted, my role will probably be the biggest hole to fill next year.

Also, I am obligated to post this here:

Nick’s Gifs

This is a part of an exchange me and former staffer Nick Steichen had going since 2014. He would leave me a painting drawn in Microsoft Paint, and I would leave him an animated .gif of something weird. Because we didn’t have the same hour this year, we could only do this once a week. So here are the paint drawings Nick left:

• https://nsteichen.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/im-so-cool-yo/
• https://nsteichen.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/another-year-in-mspaint-and-other-stuff/

And above are the gifs I left.

While there will be no official webmaster next year, I’ll be right up the hill if the staff needs any technical support with the website (or if they need to squelch another connectastrophe). But I have confidence that they will find someone who knows web design (and is secretly an evil mastermind) like me.

So, whatever language you may speak, this is farewell.
