Tallulah Wilson, staff reporter

Tallulah Wilson is a sophomore and a first year staff member for The Shield. She was previously a part of photojournalism as a freshman, where she enjoyed photographing school events and reporting them. She joined MacJ to explore new skills and discover more of the McCallum community, along with getting out of her comfort zone. Wilson loves playing soccer, reading, bingeing a good show and hanging with her friends (pre-COVID), her family and her five pets. Since COVID, Wilson has enjoyed online shopping, family game nights, and catching up with her friends on FaceTime calls. She is excited to see the progress in her writing that she believes The Shield experience will bring her and can’t wait to learn more about the world of journalism.

WEE THE PEOPLE: Junior Amethyst Mellberg-Smith holds up a sign during a Urinetown scene involving a protest for the right to “pee for free.” Mellberg-Smith thinks that the show is a commentary on the current political climate. “It’s totally political satire,” Mellberg-Smith said. “It’s making fun of serious situations that are somewhat similar to things happening now, but in such a comedic and absurd way it really shows how messy politics and fighting for what’s right can be.” Mellberg-Smith said that while being on stage for the first time in a year was a rewarding experience, her favorite part of the production was spending time with her friends. “Finally seeing people every day made all of the hard work feel effortless,” Mellberg-Smith said, “and I can’t wait to do it again!” Reporting by Samantha Powers.

Coach Lorie Campbell stressed to the seven freshmen on her young roster that the lessons that basketball offers arent all learned on the court of play. There will be some games where you might not even get to play,” Campbell said. “You just have to be that teammate on the bench that brings spirit, joy, hustle and culture, like getting up and clapping or giving reminders because that’s just as important. Especially having no fans this year because of COVID, it’s very quiet.
