Alix Nath
Alix Nath, AHS Needle & Broadcasting Editor
Alix Nath is a senior at Atlantic High School and is involved in various activities including AHS journalism, Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, and Speech and Debate. Nath is a senior editor for AHS Needle, they also take photos for the website. Nath spoke about their “most enjoyable” subject in school: art and journalism. They said, “I truly enjoy showing different perspectives and I think using art as a medium to do that and writing to do that is important to see”. Nath gives examples of what types of pictures they want to capture, “While the marching band is warming up” and “If it’s a musical or play I’ll go backstage, get some photos”. Nath says they want to “Shine a light on people and things you don’t normally get to see in the spotlight”. They’re working on a behind-the-scenes in Journalism and a “Free speech in a Small Town” piece. Nath says “Once I do leave it’s going to be the people I miss”. They said they were going to miss the people who “Structured my education and have had a lot of impact on me, as well as friends.” Story by Bailey Grieshaber
Dean Cook
Dean Cook, Junior Broadcasting Editor
Junior Dean Cook is a junior broadcaster for Eye of the Needle. He originally joined journalism because of his love for photography. Broadcasting however intrigued him and he “found it fun,” and is responsible for everything behind the scenes, editing the episodes, and helping with the interviews. Cook says that his greatest strength as a journalist is his determination and drive to do anything he puts his mind to. Cook does cross country, which he has loved since 8th grade. He is also in band, jazz band, show choir Band, Pep Band, and Orchestral Band. Outside of school, he’s been playing the drums for years, he also collects vinyls and loves photography. Cook says, “[photos] hold so much meaning to me,” as he has, “a bad memory,” and photos help him hold on to and cherish precious memories. He works at The Sweet Spot, a diner in Anita, and plans to move to Minnesota and enter the radio industry after he graduates. His advice to new journalists is, “DO NOT SLACK,” and says he could’ve learned so much more if he had better time management and paid more attention. Story by Knox McCalla
Brynn Lamp
Brynn Lamp, JP Student
Shopmore Brynn Lamp is a JP journalism student. Lamp’s favorite part of being involved in journalism is taking pictures. She enjoys the experiences she has gained and what she has learned from using the cameras. She said she isn’t picky on the type of photos she takes, she is just willing to whenever she can. Some memories and experiences she has enjoyed are “Learning a lot about journalism that I didn’t know before and the outlook on how it really works” Lamp said.   Lamp is involved in many outside of school activities, such as softball, volleyball, basketball and track. She is very busy and keeps a high standard of herself while involved in these sports, to obtain the goals she has set for herself.  When she does have free time in her busy schedule she likes to hang out with her friends and make memories with them. Lamps future plans are to attend college and either become a nurse anesthetist or an orthodontist.  Lamp is excited to see what the rest of journalism looks like for her and what new memories and experiences she can make to finish out the semester.
