Yusuf Perwez, a junior at Wilcox, is on his 3rd year in The Scribe. Along with the other editors he is a co-editor-in-chief. He chose journalism to be able to inform others on topics that matter, and learn the going-ons behind Wilcox. Currently, the separate hobbies of books and video games are in a fierce competition for his free time.
