About the Contributors

Paige Bean, Print Photo Editor

Saving the best for last, senior Paige Bean is entering her final year on staff as the Head Print Photo Editor. Paige has been on staff since her freshman year and taking photos since she was born, thanks to her father. When she’s not in the journalism room, Paige is the Student Body President, a member of Kemper Teen Arts Council, President of the Just Like You Films Youth Advisory Board, and more. Paige hopes to study filmmaking next year and continue creating media.

Francesca Lorusso, Art Editor

Going into her fourth semester on the Harbinger staff, junior Francesca Lorusso is delighted to start as an art editor, photo mentor and page designer. When she isn’t struggling to write a coherent caption for a gallery or losing sleep over making someone’s page art, she is helping to plan an International club meeting, making costumes for a play or musical, or trying to perfect an AP Art project.

Vivien Glenski, Photo Mentor

Starting her second year on The Harbinger as a Staff Photographer, junior Vivien Glenski can’t wait for this year and all the opportunities that come with it! When she is not out taking pictures at sports complexes 20 minutes away, making galleries or writing captions she enjoys hanging with her family and friends, playing tennis, nannying and going to powerlife. Vivien is also involved in SHARE and tennis here at East.

Maggie Rogers, Staff Photographer

Sophomore Maggie Rogers is looking forward to heading into this new year as a photographer on the Harbinger staff. You can usually find her at Overland Park Racquet Club or doing homework from her chemistry class. If she’s not there, she’s either at Swig with friends or shopping in Town Center.
