My name is Austin Lamb and I am a junior at Oswego High School. This is my second year with 42Fifty, and I can't wait to get back into writing and reviewing. I greatly enjoy playing and listening to music, as well as writing. I've always been interested in writing, especially about things that can be critiqued and looked at subjectively.

I hope my knowledge of music and writing talent will pay off for the Arts & Entertainment section this year, and I can't wait to write about weird music.

Wide shot of the OHS Theater Stage in the auditorium. The background is decorated to look like a Dance while the foreground contrasts two groups of people. A large group of people on the right, with the focus being on a boy located in the very front looking left. On the left side there is a girl in a long white dress staring right at the boy.

Oswego High School's Standing O Theater Company was hard at work on its Fall play performance, performing Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew” with an interesting twist. They modernized the characters and sets, but still speak in the early Modern English of the original text.
