One of the biggest losses De Kalb has seen this year just occurred here in the newsroom. Our dear friend and one of our amazing designers, Senior Kaylee Layton, left us at the end of the first quarter to finish her senior year online. It's still very fresh, and we're all still mourning, but what better way to commemorate her than to tell some of our favorite stories about her? “My favorite memory is definitely the time she drank all of my tea at IHop,” recalls Assistant Editor-inChief Rawley Mydland. Another favorite memory is “When Kaylee first moved here in sophomore year, and she memorized all of the European countries just to spite me,” says Senior Nathaniel Lance. Although she's gone, some of us still can’t accept it: “I refuse to accept that Kaylee is no longer here,” says Mrs. Miller. “I will never remove her from the Google Classroom for Newspaper, and I will still bring her books to read, though I’m not sure how that’s going to work.” All of us here at De Kalb wish her the best. “Hang in there and do your College Algebra,” says Mrs. Hansbrough. We're all going to miss Kaylee, and we wish her the best of luck with her online classes. Sincerely, The Newspaper Crew.
