    Interviewer: “How has COVID affected your job?”
Dina Tyo, senior: “So actually I got hired at my job during COVID. And it was really interesting, meeting all of my coworkers with masks and having to take my temperature before going in every day and just being really careful with all the sanitary policies.”
    🌟New art submission by Keeva Kerrigan-Mize, jun 🌟New art submission by Keeva Kerrigan-Mize, junior! 🌟🌎

“This piece was inspired by Earth Day, which I know is not for a while, but I wanted to make an art piece to bring awareness to the pollution and how humans are affecting the wildlife. For this project, I used acrylic paints and some nail polish. I am rather proud of this project because I’ve come a long way from my first acrylic painting in late 8th grade.”
    Interviewer: I heard the Mock Trial Competition wa Interviewer: I heard the Mock Trial Competition was last week; how did it go for your team?
Anandi Kavuri, senior on the NPHS Gold Mock Trial team: It went pretty well! Although it was quite an interesting experience participating in the trials via zoom calls, and we did obviously miss going to the courthouses where we usually are for competition, the opportunity to properly complete my last year of mock trial under circumstances such as a pandemic was still really cool. Both our Gold and Panther teams were able to make to semi finals this year and everyone did so well and I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished! The past four years have been so fun and I look forward to seeing and hearing about the future of NPHS mock trial!
    Interviewer: What are you looking forward to in a Interviewer: What are you looking forward to in a possible in person coming school year? 
Jacob Hahn, freshman: I have been fantasizing about possibly coming back to school in person since spring last year. Maintaining friendships while also having closer connections with teachers is not something that could easily be done over a screen and a camera. Meeting and making new friends with people in and above my grade has been difficult, and I feel like I am missing out without having a link to the upperclassmen. As an incoming freshman, I never really explored or seen our campus, so seeing it for the first time will be pretty interesting. If we could have a safe and reliable way to meet at school, that would be great!
    Interviewer: “How has tennis practice changed fr Interviewer: “How has tennis practice changed from last year?”
Raghav Rapaka, sophomore: “We have to stay a lot farther ways from each other and we can’t touch other people equipment. We have to bring our own balls and we aren’t allowed to touch others. Also, we have to wear a mask the entire time.”

“The meaning behind my piece symbolizes a greater state of awareness, or consciousness if you will. She sees and knows things all around her ever so graciously.”
    Interviewer: How did you get into photography and Interviewer: How did you get into photography and why do you like it?
Edyn Stepler, junior: “I got into photography probably around 6th grade after seeing so many beautiful photos on my instagram feed. I was so impressed how these photographers could creatively capture an image, whether that be a person, tree, lights, or anything else. I wasn’t even allowed to hold my mom’s digital camera then, but I would plead to her to use it. When my family traveled to different countries, I was so excited to take pictures of the new world! In 8th grade I started to research how to use a camera and started taking pictures of my friends and family. I fell in love with photography as it challenged me to look at my world with a different lens. I love how my creativity is challenged, too. Oh! And the best feeling is taking a picture of someone and they get this amazing genuine smile when they truly see how beautiful they are! Ugh! It makes me so happy that I have the ability to do that for others!”
