Trent Scott:
Greetings! I am Mr. Scott, the eternal adviser of this distinguished newspaper. This will be year 31 of working with some of the finest minds and driven characters that Oshkosh West has to offer. My first year, way back in the dark ages, was such a challenge and left me wondering what in the world I was getting myself into. Now, three decades later, I am still here. I enjoy the publication work, don't get me wrong, but what keeps me coming back are the students I have the honor to advise. Editors are a rare breed - intrinsically motivated, constantly curious, and skilled in all the best ways. They are my extended family, and I'm not sure what I'd do without them. Besides advising, I also teach English and am the department chair for that family as well. If I'm not grading papers, I am probably hanging with my daughters, watching a movie, playing video games, or jamming with my band. I can't wait for another year of excellence and making memories with this crew. After all, memories are what make us rich.
