![The annual buzzbook will not be available for purchase this year due to scheduling and printing errors. In the future, the buzzbook will be distributed digitally and Digital Design students will still compete to be the cover artist as sophomore Ariej Rafiq (left design) and freshman Jack Andrews (right design) did. “This was a new experience for me. I was quite impressed and surprised by all the [software] had to offer,” Rafiq said. “I feel like I picked it up quickly.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Buzz_Book_Cover_Pair-1-900x600.jpg)

Sophomore Mathieu Sze dances passionately to music blaring in the English hallway. English teacher Shannan Cremeens plays music outside her room every Friday between classes to uplift the student mood. “Personally, [I believe] music is the great equalizer,” Cremeens said. “[It] brings everyone together.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Maria24hour-900x600.jpg)

![Junior Lauren Beard reads weather pattern graphs after attending an Earth Sciences camp this summer. At the camp, Beard explored her passion for meteorology with students from all over the United States. “[I] thought it was a great opportunity to see if this is something that I’m really interested in," Beard said. “I’ve just found myself drawn to that subject, I’ve always just found it really interesting."](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DSC_0285-900x598.jpg)
![Junior Harper Stewart hands junior Caroline Dunn a raffle prize, a Menchie's gift card. “[The] Puerto Rico [concert] took a lot of long hours, tears and hard work, and having someone else recognize that fact and congratulate us for it outside of the West community was incredibly humbling,” Stewart said. “It reminded me of how all that work was funneled into a project that did so much good, whether that be the money we raised or the awareness we brought to the West community specifically about Puerto Rico and their struggles”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DSC_0310-900x598.jpg)
![Seniors Kaleigh Stanfield, Sydnee Yap and Hannah Hoffman attend the Festival of Nations, an annual event in Tower Grove Park in which attendees can try food from all over the world, over the past summer. National Honors Society (NHS) members volunteered at the festival and were spread out throughout the park. “I was kind of worried about being so far away from [my] friends,” Hoffman said. “[This was] one of the most fun events I’ve ever worked. Oddly, it kinda made me loosen up as a person.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DSC_0002-900x598.jpg)
![Sophomore Namah Al Battah and art teacher Ashley Drissel look over meeting plans for the club We Dine Together.

"I still have people coming up to me and congratulating me which is a cool feeling."](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/DSC_1985-900x600.jpg)
![Section editor Nell Jaskowiak gets duct-taped to the wall in a ‘trial run’ for the fundraiser being put on by the editorial staff in which teachers will be being duct taped. The fundraiser will be held in the cafeteria with donations to the teacher you want duct taped being accepted starting Jan. 22. “There was a second when they pulled the box out from under [my feet] and I wondered what the heck I was doing,” Jaskowiak said. “But sure enough, I stuck.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/duct-tape-900x600.jpg)
