Terve! Or, should I say, "Hello!" I am Bennett Mayfield, writer and wannabe historian. I ended up writing for The PENNANT my Senior year without really choosing to, but I’ll take it!--since writing has always been a passion of mine and one of the few things I’m actually talented in. Besides that, I also am really into history, esotericism/mysticism, and generally the more complex and mysterious aspects ...

I’m David Smith, and I’m a Sophomore at Elkhart High School (also known as EHS). In joining this team, I’m hoping to improve my writing skills, as I’m not very good with words and couldn’t spell to save my life without autocorrect. Outside of school, I like to play video games and make YouTube videos casually about the games I usually play with my friends online.
