One of the Knight Writers staff’s favorite things to do is make a big deal out of every holiday. Which is why we find ourselves printing another holly jolly, newspaper. Take it as the calm before the storm that is dead week and finals.

RHS now rallies in winter sports, winter joy and winter fun, all while it’s still reaching up to a high of 80° by the afternoon. Issue 2 covers the progression of the winter season and what’s to come. Since winter sports are swinging, the staff has also profiled a few players from the winter season. I’m looking forward to the two weeks off (I think we all deserve a long break, this time with no threat of a hurricane). Inside this issue, you’ll find a few different ways to make the most of that time off.

I’ve been the Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper since basically the very end of my sophomore year. Now halfway through my senior year, the burnout, senioritis and shift in values have pushed me toward some change. I will from now until the end of the school year be sharing this position with the Knight Writers’ previous Online Managing Editor, Zoe Thaxton.

Two’s an interesting number. Number two, perceived as second-best or even first loser. But if there’s anything the holiday season likes to celebrate, it’s togetherness. After all, two is better than one. Issue 2, two Editors-in-Chief, two opposing opinions, two kinds of Christmas trees, two more weeks until winter break, two weeks off of school.
