Senior Brynna Crump sitting in a classroom, social distancing, with her mask on. Ever since Mar. 13, 2020, we have had to do school either by zoom calls, just online, or by being in person, with very specific rules. “After all this time, I have found many things that I don’t like about online learning. I like the plan we have with hybrid, right now, though, as much as I can,” Crump said, “Missing out on things makes me feel so upset. These are things that we’ve all been looking forward to, as long as we can remember. I hope we can still salvage some of them, before the year is over.”

Senior Meredith Bass, taking a selfie, in her car, at BE the Light. Apr. 23, 2020, an event was held where seniors, and their families, could go to Bullitt East, and drive around their high school one last time, and Bass went there. “I was completely not expecting to be so emotional until the music came on, it added to everything and the teacher messages were amazing. It was really hard to see the baseball team so upset about their pregame song and jerseys hung up. I don’t think it had really sunk in that i was going to be saying goodbye to BE, so when it hit it was really hard. It wasn’t the send off we expected but our faculty and administrators really went above and beyond to make it special and I am so thankful for that,” said Bass, “I would drive through it 1000 times. I love Bullitt East, and it was filled with everything I love about it.”

Members of one of the sophomore girls teams for tug-of-war express their determination to win this competition while students cheer them on from the side during the annual Greek Games on May 2. The tug-of-war competitions comprised much of the time devoted to activities that the Games featured, in which students utilized their aggressiveness to try to assert their dominance over other grade levels, while many students inversely chose not to participate to avoid being subordinated for the same reasons. Freshmen are new and want to save face. Sophomores and juniors are jaded and want to keep their image. They tend to hold themselves in high regard and dont want to embarrass themselves, said band teacher Trevor Ervin.

Wendy McCutcheons old office in the College and Career Center is now empty after she has packed up all of her things and left. This office was her home away from home for eight years and it will soon be the office of Ann Mann. The nature of the College and Career Coach job is one that changes all the time. Every week (it seems like), the state changes a pathway or the requirements to become college ready. Ms. Ann Murphy has been hired as Wendys replacement and will do an excellent job, said guidance counselor Dana Steinmetz.
