Hi, I’m Mallory Putnam and I’m a junior this year. This is my first year in SPUB, which I am very excited for all of the new opportunities it brings. I might be joining late, but better late than never. I decided I wanted to be in SPUB this year because I like the idea of writing articles and designing the yearbook for all to see. Other than SPUB, I play soccer and volleyball which takes up a lot of my time. I love to hangout with my friends, go to the lake, ski, and just be outside. I feel lucky to be apart of the SPUB family and I can’t wait for what this year brings!

Although checking a book out this year may look different, it is still just as easy. “Book stacks are closed to students and staff” as the paper says, so you must request a book title  to the library staff or use the bookhub form to put a book on hold (photo by M. Putnam).

A throwback to fall homecoming, where the girls on the homecoming court posed for a picture after the coronation. Although it was different, it was still a fun and busy week so hopefully Winter Homecoming will be the same (photo credit J. Wilm).
