THE PIONEERS The first editors-in-chief of Verde: Eva Steele-Saccio, Chris McFall and Sarah Magnuski. “We were creating something from scratch, so there was no precedent about how to do things,” Magnuski says. “We were all teenagers and learning how to lead and how to be a team, so we had arguments sometimes. But we always worked things out.”
THE LEADERSHIP (left) Esther Wojcicki is the creator of Paly’s journalism program and served as Verde’s adviser the first year. Paul Kandell (right) has been the adviser for Verde ever since. “I took the Campanile [staff] on a field trip to Lowell High School in San Francisco and while I was there I met Mr. Kandell,” Wojcicki says. “I was like, ‘you’re doing great work, could I interest you to come to Paly and work on this new publication.”
