Dear Reader, That time has come – volume three as a magazine of The Gavel is now out. If you’ve missed any of the other issues, please check them out online. Both issues are available through Issuu (links can be found on the website – www.bcgavel.com). If you haven’t already done so, please take a look at the website for exclusive online content. I would like to use this opportunity, our final printed magazine issue of the year, to thank the seniors for all of their hard work. I have truly enjoyed getting to know all of you over the past few years. To Yanira, for being The Gavel mom and watching out for all of us. Thanks for catching our mistakes both in print and in the real world. To Cal, for being so creative and never being afraid to push the boundaries for new content. Thanks for making the Features section the place to be. To Maggie, for sharing your talents and your house with us for official Gavel functions. Thanks for instilling your own passions in your section and colleagues. To Sofia, for your artistic sensibilities and photography skills. Thank you for paying attention to the finer details. To Kaylin, for totally revolutionizing the way that The Gavel looks. Thanks for restyling our layout.
