Hi! My name is Henry Jones and I’m the Feature Editor for this school year. This will be my second year writing for The Rider and I’m very privileged to be a part of this awesome team of people. Aside from The Rider, I’m the Legacy Debate captain. Outside of school I enjoy camping in the great outdoors and playing an unhealthy amount of videogames. Anyway, I’m looking forward to my senior year. [email protected]

Hey, I'm Hillary Brown and I love cats! Just thinking about all those cats without someone to love them just makes me so sad, but nobody's got time for that. I'm shy when I first meet new people, but I'm crazy if you get to know me. Funny thing is, I love to hang out with friends, but I don't really like going to school events. Which is crazy since I'm on photo staff and I have to take pictures for almost everything that goes on here at Legacy. That's why this year one of my best friends is making me go to homecoming. I can't wait. I hope being on staff will help me not be as shy, but it might take a while. I love my journalism family. They are almost as awesome as Mallett is, but not yet. [email protected]
