Dylan Jahnke, Editor-in-Chief
I’m Dylan Jahnke, and this is my second year with 42Fifty, which I first joined as a staff member. I am a senior at Oswego High School, and I plan to study mass communications/music management in college. I hope to one day have my own radio talk show or get into artist management. If I’m not writing or editing for 42Fifty, I’m either working at Culver’s, hanging out with friends and family, or doing homework. I am humbled to say I began my 42Fifty career my junior year as a staff writer, then Arts & Entertainment editor first semester of my senior year and now Editor-in-Chief.
Cell phone addiction is undeniably a problem all across the country, but the students of OHS have it bad—real bad.
Welp, here I am, looking back at my high school career. Today, I woke up bright and early, went to Oswego High School, got my after school Dunkin’ and came home. Nothing too special, right? That’s what I thought—until now. As of today, I only have nine more REAL days of high school. Let that sink in, seniors—nine more days.
You’ve seen them at Walgreens, you’ve seen them at Walmart, and now, you will see them all over Oswego High School! Following the return of students from spring break, the OHS Student Council will be selling Girl Scout Cookies in order to help get SD308 out of its debt hole!
Do you remember the last time you went outside and said, “Wow, what a beautiful day it is today?” Yeah, me neither. This winter has been a drag, and I’ve had enough of it.
Don’t get me wrong, December and the so-called “winter” break we had could be much worse. We had temperatures in the upper 40s and even a few days in the mid 50s! Crazy, right? But the bitter cold, excessive snow, and hurricane-like winds all began towards the end of January, which made me feel like hibernating until April.
I sat down with a few Oswego High School seniors and got their input on how they've dealt (or not) with senioritis in their final stretch of high school.
