I don’t know about you but I’m feeling class of 22
It feels like a perfect day
To celebrate our seniors
And enjoy our summer, uh-uh, uh-uh
It feels like a perfect day
To stop all schooling
To start our partying, uh-uh, uh-uh
Yeah
We’re eager, anxious, happy, sad at the same time
It’s beautiful and bittersweet, oh, yeah
“Tonight’s the night when we forget about the deadlines”
We’re done, oh-oh
I don’t know about you, but I’m class of 22
Graduation is just in sight, bet you’re excited too
Covid took away two years, but we made it through
Everything will be alright, because we’re class of 22
Class of 22
About the Writers
Lauren Dain, Executive Editor
Hi! My name is Lauren Dain (she/her). I am a senior and an Executive Editor of the In-Depth, Opinion, and Sports sections. This is my fourth year on staff, and previously I have been a staff writer, Assistant Editor, and In-Depth Editor. This year I am excited to help build a strong, welcoming community within The Evanstonian, and publish impactful articles related to issues I am passionate about. Beyond The Evanstonian, I am a captain on the cross country team, as well as a Civic Engagement Committee leader and board member in the Community Service Club. Outside of ETHS, I contribute to the Evanston Women’s History Project and I work at Trader Joe’s. In my free time, I love to bake, drink lots of coffee, and watch TV.
Eden Drajpuch, Executive Editor
Hey! My name is Eden (she/her). I am a senior and an Executive Editor for the News, A&E, and Feature sections. This is my fourth year on staff, and in the past I have been a staff writer and an editor for the Feature section. This year, I am excited to build new relationships, create content that tells meaningful stories, and have a lot of fun along the way. Outside of The Evanstonian, I enjoy running, cooking meals with my family, and listening to podcasts.
Ingrid Halverson, Digital Content Editor
My name is Ingrid Halverson (She/her) and I am currently a senior at ETHS. This is my fourth year as a writer for the Evanstonian and this year I am the digital media co-editor. I have lived in Evanston my whole life and I am the youngest of three siblings. I have always had a passion for writing, so joining a club involving a creative way to write was an easy choice for me. Since Freshman year the Evanstonian has been a welcoming and uplifting community where I have felt pushed to further my love for writing. Outside of the Evanstonian, I am on the ETHS varsity tennis team, Wildkit buddies, and community service club.
Jojo Wertheimer, Digital Content Editor
Hi! My name is Jojo Wertheimer (she/her) and I am a Digital Content Editor for the Evastonian. This is my fourth year on the staff of the newspaper, and previously I have been an Arts and Entertainment Editor, Social Media Editor, and a staff writer. The Evanstonian has been an imperative part of my high school experience; I love the community, the energy, and the journalistic process. Outside of the newspaper, I have a part time job at Play It Again Sports Evanston and I am on the ETHS SHAPE (Sexual Assault Prevention Education) board. This past summer, I had the opportunity to intern with the local newspaper the Evanston RoundTable. I really enjoyed being able to explore different kinds of journalism and work on a local publication. In my free time, I love to hang out with friends and family, run and workout, read, listen to music, watch TV, and spend time outside, especially at the beach. I am also a big foodie and love to eat out around Evanston. I look forward to producing articles I’m proud of this year and hopefully continuing with journalism in my time past ETHS.
