About the Contributors
Mary Catherine Wells, TRL Editor-in-Chief
Mary Catherine Wells, a now senior at Lovejoy High School, proudly takes on the role of Editor-in-Chief at her online school newspaper, The Red Ledger. Beginning her sixth year of newspaper gives Wells way more excitement than she felt her first year in seventh grade. At Sloan Creek Middle School, she signed up for the yearbook staff hoping to grow her skills in photography, an area she was passionate about. Although, the fact that her friends were in that class as well may or may not have played a big factor. But Wells claims being put in newspaper accidentally at a mere 12 years old was one of the best things that could have happened to her. It has opened doors and led her to experience new things that she now hopes to apply in college. Newspaper isn't the only thing Wells is involved in though, as she also cheers for her high school squad and is a member of National Honors Society. Outside of school, she enjoys working at the Goddard preschool in McKinney and hanging out with her friends. She also enjoys sticking in the fact that she was in a movie in fifth grade any chance she gets.
Nick Smith, TRL Editor-in-Chief
Nick Smith is a senior and has held a US citizenship for 17 years, but is still confused as to why he still doesn't qualify for senior citizen discounts. Nick spends his days either hanging out with friends or living in what he calls his second home, but everyone else just calls the newspaper room. He somehow swung it with the counselors to have three periods of newspaper this year, and now seeks to push his luck by requesting a bed to be furnished in the newspaper room for his afternoon naps. In addition to his duties with The Red Ledger, Nick serves as the self-titled “Chief Player Motivator” for the varsity soccer team. Nick draws his inspiration for his fiery, sometimes over the top speeches from the movie-speech greats: Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday, Matthew McConaughey in We Are Marshall, and of course Denzel Washington in Remember The Titans. This will be Nick’s third year as a part of The Red Ledger staff and first as an Editor-In-Chief. Alongside his fellow EICs Hannah and MC, Nick hopes to further the legacy of The Red Ledger and work to make newspaper the best part of each and every staffers’ day.
