Christ School's Honors Broadcast Journalism class put together Friday's inaugural episode of the "Little Stump News."

“We lay it out, for you to play it out.”

Henry Lytle ‘23 and Mac Kimel ’22 carried themselves with such an air of professionalism Friday that the rookie anchors had already come up with their own signature sign-off.
