Sophomore Clara Langerveld is a loving, enthusiastic, and outgoing member of the Valhalla here at Lake Stevens High School. Langerveld will be working as a photographer and reporter, which not only fits her love for photography, but writing as well. On her free time Langerveld loves to write poetry, about almost anything you can think of. She is also a part of our school play, Sister Acts, as a nun. Coming into sophomore year Langerveld has the goal of writing about topics that one might not hear about as much at school. She believes that focusing on smaller subjects that people don’t typically acknowledge will broaden our audience here at the High School. For example, Langerveld feels very strongly on the topic of bullying and suicide, due to the tragedies that had occurred at Cavelero this previous year. She believes that everyone is their own type of beautiful, and that no one should ever feel alone. Langerveld is not only caring for anyone who is in need of a little support, but has also been through some rough patches in life that puts her in a position where she can relate to and bring knowledge to those surrounding her. As a sophomore Langerveld already has a wide variety of great characteristics to bring to the Valhalla, making these next two years full of progress, growing, and lots of amazing articles.

Matching, homemade tattoos. Senior Cole Hohenstein displays his tattoo done by his older sister, Avery. He made a pact with his two older sisters to get coordinating tattoos symbolizing each of their astrological signs. Avery ordered tattoo materials off of the internet to begin her tattooing career and proposed the idea of giving family members some tattoos. She asked Cole to be her guinea pig, and he said yes. “I remember when she showed me this idea of getting matching tattoos of our symbols and I loved it. Then she tattooed me,” Hohenstein said.

Vonart:  A sticker on the retro phone booth in Seattle’s iconic Easy Street records store. In this location, music and other mediums of art are presented and sold to customers looking for tasteful additions to their lives. One may find some writers typing on their laptops in the cafe located inside or musical artists performing on their mini-stage. All are welcome to share their art and experience others as well. “Art is anything anyone creates. Whether that be on a canvas or paper - on their body or even clothing,” junior Sydney Judnich said.

The perfect headspace: The Seattle based museum, MoPop, has a large screen televising the music videos to music’s greatest anthems. The mixing board is placed in front of the screen to control the musical composition of what can be heard in the miniature theatre. Many young artists and musicians come to the MoPop (formally known as the EMP) to gain inspiration. “Any person that you may meet could become the next musical genius,” sophomore Dallas Landeros said. 
“If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time,” world renowned musician Billy Joel said.
