About the Contributors
Esmé Ryznar, Assistant Editor
Junior Esmé Ryznar is currently in her second semester of Journalism. Moving here from Alaska roughly 14 years ago, she enjoys the rainy weather and atmosphere of Oregon.
Coming to La Salle simply because her brother, Dylan, attended, Esmé has since found herself participating in many activities, engaging in the opportunities presented to her, and loving the community at La Salle.
Esmé has played soccer since the age of four, and participates in the soccer team at La Salle as well as running track in the spring. In addition to this, she is a member of the Earth Club and Pickleball Club.
On the weekends, you can find Esmé playing guitar, doing her homework, playing in a soccer game, or practicing violin — an instrument she has played since the age of five.
Only having left the country once on a road trip to Canada, Esmé hopes to someday visit Paris and Australia. She also plans to visit every state in the U.S. during her life.
In the future Esmé hopes to attend college, possibly in California, and pursue a career in science and nature.
Julia Hoesly, Assistant Editor
Julia was born and raised in Oregon. Going to private school at St. John the Baptist her entire life, she planned on attending La Salle since kindergarten.
Throughout her educational career, English has always been a subject that Julia has admired. Her love for this particular class is what sparked her interest in taking journalism as an elective.
Julia has played soccer since she was five years old and it has created so many opportunities for her as well as long lasting friendships. The sport allows her to be involved within the La Salle community through the girls varsity soccer team while also giving her something to do in her free time when she plays club.
Family is something that Julia highly values. She comes from a larger family with four siblings and a lot of cousins and other relatives.
Outside of the school environment, you can probably find Julia spending time with friends or playing soccer with her sister.
Julia isn’t sure where she will be in the future, but she looks forward to it.
