Clover Martin, Editor
Senior Clover Martin was born in Pacifica, California, a small coastal town that still calls her back each summer — though Oregon keeps her plenty busy these days.
She makes occasional trips back for music expos or festivals with her father, a composer who helped shape her lifelong love for sound, but her sights are set far beyond the West Coast. Once graduation hits, she’s planning to pack her bags for Florence, Berlin, and wherever else the world will take her.
Growing up surrounded by music, Clover has tried her hand at plenty of instruments, from guitar to harmonica to didgeridoo, but drums remain her constant favorite.
It’s rare to catch her in the hallways without AirPods or headphones in, often turned up too loud, as her friends love to remind her. She’s never confined herself to one genre, but during this school year, you can often find her listening to loud techno, club, or rock music to get herself hyped up. Currently, she especially loves Nine Inch Nails and LCD Soundsystem.
Her favorite classes this year are AP English IV, Honors French 4, and Anatomy and Physiology — a course she’s particularly excited about, given her interest in neuroscience and hopes to pursue it later in college.
Rain or shine, when she’s not darting through the halls, you might find Clover lying in the grass of the academic courtyard — sunglasses pulled over her eyes and music in her ears.
