It will showcase some of Howell High School student’s artwork. This will include work from photography, digital imaging, drawing, and all other art classes offered at HHS, along with artwork from middle school and elementary students.

The word “selfie” is everywhere in our society. It is often heralded by a hashtag, been immortalized in a pop song, and has even appeared in the latest version of Webster’s Dictionary. However, selfies themselves are disliked and often stigmatized; it is said that the people who take them are vain and “trying too hard”. Snickers and snide comments are prevalent when certain people come across another’s selfie. By News Editor: Lindsey Saba
