To  say  that  this  year’s  staff is  star-struck,

        bedazzled by the spotlight, is to do it little justice.
        Although they knew that their inclusion into the ilk

        of past Editors-in-Chief would skyrocket them  to
         fame, they bore themselves before the  inquisitive

         public eye with an air of modesty.  They addressed
         fans with affable familiarity, signed autographs for

         a  demanding  public,  and  gathered  in  the  Upper

         School for a Gatsbian spectacle of hors d’oeuvres
         and cocktails... or so it seemed.  In late October E!

         (Produced by Trinity’s own Dr. Eldzal) distributed

         an exclusive “behind-the-scenes-look” documenting
                                                                    the dulling light of these once brilliant stars as a beast

                                                                    Yes, this once modest group of doting artists had begun

                                                                    to winnow away under the heat of the spotlight.  But
                                                                    their  triumphant  comeback  was  at  hand  and  in

         Idzal and multiple bags of cookies, something seems to be missing. Is the
