Megan Klingler: Do y\u2019all have a favorite Pace newspaper memory?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reed Millner: I really liked doing the escape rooms. Over the past three years I think they\u2019ve been really fun, especially this year\u2019s one. When you know everyone it\u2019s a lot more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ellie Siskin: I think when we were doing our first issue last May as the new co-editors and we finally finished it. We worked so hard editing and on the cover and everything and we were so excited to have it done ourselves for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Fu: I would say mine is when Mrs. Neiley brought her puppy into class. I just really like dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MK: Does anyone have a favorite article they wrote?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: My favorite one I wrote was probably my sophomore year, my first article, where I interviewed Kenny Selmon, who was going to the Olympics. That was a really cool article because I didn\u2019t think I was actually going to be able to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DF: My favorite one would also be the first one I wrote sophomore year. I interviewed a bunch of lower schoolers and I was super stressed about it because I didn\u2019t meet the deadline. I was like oh no, Mrs. Neiley is going to hate me but then the article turned out really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ES: I think my favorite was the first time I got to do a spread when Queen Elizabeth died, and I got to be in charge of that whole page and learn how to do all the layout tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MK: Do you have any advice for the co-editors for next year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ES: The biggest advice I have is to split up the work and you guys are all going to work really well together, so if you\u2019re collaborating on every part of it, it\u2019s going to be really easy for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: My biggest advice would be to make sure the whole staff gets to know each other and feels comfortable with each other, because when you have a staff that can all work together well it makes class more enjoyable for everyone and it\u2019s easier to get stuff done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DF: I would say my biggest advice is just to stay on top of things especially at the end of the year with senioritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MK: What are you looking forward to for next year in college?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DF: I\u2019m looking forward just to meeting new people and especially being in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: I\u2019m excited to be in a new school. I\u2019ve been at Pace for thirteen years, so it\u2019ll be a change of pace for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ES: Yeah, I\u2019m excited to see new places and get to experience a different kind of school environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MK: What was something for newspaper that you\u2019re really proud of that you did this year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: I\u2019m really proud of how far our staff has come and everything we\u2019ve done this year because we definitely faced some challenges. If you asked me sophomore year if I ever thought I\u2019d be able to do any of this, I probably would have thought it was crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ES: I feel like, reading everyone\u2019s first articles they\u2019ve turned in, everyone has gotten so much better by this last issue, and it\u2019s great to see how much everyone\u2019s improved in writing and editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DF: And I think in general working on making our newspapers look more interesting. We have spreads in every issue, and adding Hayes\u2019 column; it really makes them pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MK: Any last words for Mrs. Neiley and the newspaper staff?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ES: They\u2019ve been such a supportive group these last few years and especially Mrs. Neiley, she\u2019s helped us with everything we need, so thank you, and we know you guys are going to do great next year. I\u2019ll be excited to see the issues and articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM: Definitely a special thanks to everyone on staff who\u2019s been really helpful. And also a really special thanks to Mrs. Neiley because she started out her newspaper career with us and so it\u2019s been really fun over the last three years to grow with her. I love her and I\u2019m really excited to see where she goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DF: Also for me, a thank you to Mrs. Neiley. I\u2019ve done some questionable things, but like, she\u2019s put up with me\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RM and ES: [laughs]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DF: Yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MK: Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
