North Pointe – Thursday, May 28, 2015 – 7OUR PAGE

It’s 7:30 p.m., and InDesign is stalling. Front page art isn’t finished, and nobody can find the On Campus quotes. Piles of math homework await at home, and yet we forget that anything outside of these four windowless walls exists — at least until pages are locked. And just when everything seems like a complete nightmare, we dance. We’re not kidding. Countless pages were constructed from the energy we gained after break dancing to only the best 2000s rap hits. Clearly Jay-Z knew a thing or two about page design. We did anything we could possibly do to fire up our creative genius in order to present our bi-weekly brainchild to you, the readers. Whether you realized it or not, you were always the most important part, that fundamental drive to persevere and create. While you weren’t a part of our B302 family, you were the most essential part of our paper. We put your contacts in our phones when you became a source for a story, Zangle-stalked your classes, called you at the most inconvenient of times and created paragraphs upon paragraphs to show the school your story. The paper is our child, a baby made with love and disturbingly strong attention to detail. North Pointe is the offspring of English nerds, people who feel strongly about Oxfordian commas and dislike any font other than Georgia 12. We were named “the cult” by the counselors for a reason. Some of us hid out in Mrs. Adwers’ room for hours each day, huddling in circles in the Bat Cave and suppressing tears when deadlines approached. Some of us saw Mrs. Adwers more than our own mothers. It makes sense, since the North

Pointe room was a place to call home. We had drawers of utensils, a fridge stocked with food, and we had toys (never forget our hula hoop). We even spent our days off huddled around computers in our PJs just to ensure we had pages to publish. For a serious newspaper production team, we hardly took ourselves too seriously. Laughter was our medicine, but we learned much-needed life les-sons as well. Besides being experts on AP style, we know how to work to-gether, to bond and to love. We know how to push through under pressure and take criticism. North Pointe couldn’t have been produced without our dedicated advis-er and so-called surrogate mother, Shari Adwers. She put up with a year of horrendous renditions of popular songs and questionable discussions about Tinder. But most importantly, she supported us. She stayed late to ensure that our pages were as close to perfect as possible. She was tough on us, and we thank her for being so. Most importantly we thank you, readers. Your stories gave us the chance to harvest our talent. North Pointe is as much you as it is us.

Sincerely, Your Class of 2015 North Pointe staff
