Before students join the Bruin staff or the Whisperer staff, Wadsworth High’s newspaper and yearbook, they must take an introductory class called Newspaper/Yearbook 1. In this class, students learn the fundamentals of graphic design, interviewing, writing for print, and photography. Just like in the years past, students had to spend a few days photographing their school and neighborhood and tell the story of a typical day in their life, but through pictures. Here are some examples of the work they submitted this year.

In the weight lifting room at Wadsworth High School, tethered ropes have been frequently used for training in regards to the school’s most physical sports, such as when junior Julia Fortner began working out for lacrosse on October 22. To some students, this rope represents a difficult obstacle to overcome; something that has a negative connotation. Photo by Drew Bowerman
