About the Contributors

Caroline Martucci, Print Photo Editor

Head Photo Editor senior Caroline Martucci can’t wait to lead the photography staff for her fourth year on staff. When she’s not looking through her wide lens capturing the moment, editing galleries or designing photostories in the J room, you can find her driving around with her friends listening to Taylor Swift. Martucci also serves as Senior Class Vice President, chairs three projects for SHARE and serves on the Women in Leadership Council.

Macy Crosser, Photo Editor

Photo Editor Macy Crosser believes there is no better way to spend her senior year than capturing photos or proofing captions in the J-room for Harbinger! If you can’t reach her (and you probably won’t), Crosser is either at drill team choreo, Kansas City Ballet, AP and IB classes, NHS Service chair meetings, TCP President duties or at dive team. Good luck finding her! In any spare time she has, there is a good chance she’s watching the sunset while listening to Taylor Swift, Celsius in hand.

Clara Peters, Print Photo Editor

Senior Clara Peters is so excited for her fourth year on the Harbinger staff as a Head Print Photo Editor. When she’s not editing photos, designing photostories, or holding her camera, you’ll find her hanging out with friends, walking her dogs or listening to music. Outside of Harbinger, she holds the roles of a SHARE Exec and Link Leader. Peters can’t wait to lead this year’s photography staff with the other editors!
