Editor’s Note
What a year it’s been!
As I suspect our faithful readers will notice, we’ve done a bit of renovating. We’ve done some internal renovating too; we’ve started with a team made almost entirely of new members (except me, your ever-aging co-editor-in-chief). We hope that the fresh enthusiasm spills out into this issue. We certainly try to keep our magazine exciting. Of course, we couldn’t do that without the creativity of San Marcos High School. Our magazine exists to show your talent, and we are so thankful for it. Thank you for reading.
