David Winter, Adviser
Dave Winter has been advising publications since well before his current students were born. In the spring of 1993, while a floating first-year teacher at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Ga., he was asked this question: “Would you like a classroom?” After answering affirmatively without hesitation, he was told he was the new yearbook adviser. Three schools and more than two decades later, Winter is still at it. He has been at McCallum, advising newspaper and yearbook and teaching photojournalism, since 2015. For the better half of his 50 years, he has been married to his better half. He tries to avoid embarrassing his two amazing children on his social media account but occasionally fails.
![BACK TOGETHER AGAIN: Former McCallum soccer players pose for a group photo at the annual varsity vs. alumni match. The teams of graduated Knights consisted of students as recent as the Class of ‘22 all the way back to 2003. After two years of COVID delays, coach Nick Martin was finally able to hold the match on Dec. 28.
“[The alumni game] provides like a continuity for the program. It doesn’t matter what year you are,” Martin said.
While some organizational changes were made to the event this year, with matches being held tournament style rather than a free-for-all, Martin maintained the spirit of community that the match holds for his past and current players.
“Getting the chance to come back and see each other whilst also playing some soccer is something me and my friends have a hard time turning down,” class of 2021 alumn Aiden Golliher said. “I’d predict and hope that as the years continue, the close-knit community the boys varsity had will continue [and] that will allow this program to grow.”

![PRESENT TENSE: Marchers surround a group of pro-Trump supporters during a tense moment at todays Trump Impeachment Rally outside Austin City Hall. The rally took place today to observe the one-year anniversary of President Trumps inauguration. [Trumps] performance has been abysmal, said Joy, a local Austin Democrat. His idea of our country is twisted and we cannot allow it. The counterprotesters expressed a different view of the presidents first year in office. Im out here for my brothers, said Collin, a counter-protester at the rally. I dont feel like weve been fairly represented. I support freedom of speech, but I do hope more people can understand us.
