Recently, a rivalry was sparked between two members of the 2022-2023 editorial board: Frances Klemm ’23, Editor-in-Chief, and Alice Burke ’23, Opinion Editor, on whose dog is superior. Both pets seem to have already captured the hearts of their respective owners and sparked countless debates, resulting in no consensus.

Nobody is more excited for you to return from your trip to the garage than Tilly. No matter how short or long your absence is, she will greet you with a happy smile, wagging tail, and enough energy to immediately jump into your arms. She really makes an occasion out of everything—knowing the perfect way to relieve your fatigue after an exhausting day at school.
