Claire He, Acumen Editor in Chief

Hi, I'm Claire and this is my third year on staff! In sophomore year, I was a Feature reporter, and in junior year I was Acumen Associate Editor—this year, I'm one of two Acumen Editors-in-Chief! I'm a passionate reader and writer who's always open to talking about books, poems, music, etc. Some other interests include philosophy, biology, linguistics, and logic puzzles. I'm also a firm believer that cats are the best beings to ever exist, of course.

Quiz Bowl members run their club booth for Homecoming on Sept. 22. They sold chips to aid fundraising and added information about the club on their poster board. Brian Pho, club co-president and junior, said, “Fundraising will mostly be in the form of dues, but we will probably do some additional fundraising in preparation for Nationals. Next year, we will probably devote more time and planning into the Homecoming booth, because we didnt devote that much time to it this year and sold only one item.”

Senior Jenna Griffin lies down on a couch. Griffin said learning to control and be aware of your dreams, known as lucid dreaming, was a complex task at first but got easier to do over time. “I can be like, ‘I want to lucid dream’ and I do that falling sensation and I’m where I need to be,” Griffin said. “If it was a stressful day, I could go to the beach or something, and just dream about the ocean.”
