Hello readers! This is the first-ever edition of the National English Honor Society’s Literary Magazine. We will be featuring a variety of creative works within this publication, ranging from original artwork and writings by NEHS members to renowned pieces by established writers. Our goal in creating this magazine is to display the masterpieces of students and professional writers alike in hopes of inspiring you to put your thoughts and stories into words or art and share them with the world. Every great writer or artist started small, and any of the talented students featured in this magazine has great potential to leave their mark in our culture through their creative ingenuity. I would like to thank all of the members of the National English Honor Society; none of this would be possible without your efforts! Your contributions are truly the heart of this project. I would also like to thank Mrs. Weathersby for her tireless efforts to make the NEHS a success, and her support in the creation of this magazine. Finally, I would like to thank you, our readers. Your interest is a great encouragement to us! Thank you all again, and happy Halloween! Sincerely, Haley Austin NEHS President
