Staff Writer Eli Shorrock ’22 has a love for sports. He plays squash in winter and lacrosse in the spring.

 In his free time, Shorrock plays guitar, which he’s been doing since he was a freshman. 

“I’ve never taken a lesson. I sort of taught myself off of youtube, and have just been playing ever since,” Shorrock said.

He is taking Advanced Journalism because it’s a great way for him to channel his ideas.

“I think I’ve always been interested in just telling stories,” Shorrock said, “especially stories about things I’m passionate about, whether it be music or sports.”
