On April 30, 2025, volume 5 of the North Howler print issue was passed out to all juniors, seniors, and teachers. If any of you seniors remember people pestering you for your “post-grad plans,” this was the reason. The print issue was designed, written, and edited by the newspaper staff. It took months of effort and plan for it to be made.
The print issue is a magazine of articles, stories, and graphics put together by the newspaper staff. It includes: polls, senior superlatives, college decisions, photos from throughout the year, and more.
“The scrapbook feel is very much-so a vibe that the seniors have been doing this year,” senior Natalie Brand said. “The print issue encaptured that very well,”
The theme for the 2025 issue was discussed by editor-in-chief Payton Brummels , editor Chloe Mead, editor Tyler Cooney, editor Chelsea Mahloch, and adviser Chloe Healy in January. Together they decided on the scrapbook theme as a way of “scrapping together” all of the moments from throughout the year.
“The best part is seeing students read it and enjoy it and how many people wanted a copy,” newspaper advisor Chloe Healy said. “I’m just so proud of all of my reporters and editors and all the work they put into this, so to see the student body appreciate it and our efforts has been really awesome.”
The print issue was passed out at lunch, letting the students see the amount of work the newspaper staff put in.
“It’s really gratifying seeing it completed, I’ve never done anything like this before and created something that means so much to people,” editor Chloe Mead said. “It really makes me happy to see how excited people are for it.”
Each year the staff is different, so each person is able to put their individual sentiments into their pages. The print issue is a reflection of the staff’s creativity, and most importantly, a memorabilia for the seniors to keep to remember their senior year.
“I can really appreciate all the effort the people in the class put into it, everyone really cared about it and I’m so excited to see what we can do next year!” Mead said.
