Luke Loving, Reporter
My name is Luke Loving, and I’m a senior at West High School. I am a new writer on the Beak ‘n’ Eye staff this year. I enjoy English classes as well as math classes. I am on the tennis team, and I like to play basketball for fun. I am also a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan. I want to learn more about the process behind making a newspaper and be more involved with the school. I think being on the newspaper staff will improve my writing, while also being something new and fun to try.

![Talk about a game face. Boys swimmer Nate Hagedorn '23 uses the breaststroke technique during a home swim meet vs. Muscatine. Hagedorn swam multiple races at the swim meet versus Muscatine. "I like that [breaststroke] is more challenging than freestyle. It gives me more to do and it's a fun stroke," Hagedorn said.](https://whstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Swim-Meet-Nate-cropped-900x586.jpg)
