Fond farewells
We would like to bid a fond farewell to Dylan Farmer and Lily Chun, our outgoing Editors-in-Chief. Dylan, we'll always miss your constant wrist-cracking, your videos of kangaroos attacking their handlers and your penchant for rooting for those pitiable Spurs. Lily, your ability to get things done was unparalleled, much like your love of Coffeehouse cookies, which you rarely seemed to want to share. The Thresher's third-place finish could not have been possible without the two-headed efforts you put forward this year, and your previous efforts as Sports and News editors, respectively, paved the way for better content in print as well as online.Likewise, we wish the best for Amanda Melchor, our outgoing Opinions editor; Julie Armstrong, our outgoing-A&E-editor-turned-soon-to-be-A&E-blog-editor; Sarah Mitchell, our outgoing business manager; Tim Faust, the outgoing half of our Backpage team; Joseph Ramirez and Thomas Yeh, our outgoing Advertising managers; and Nick Schlossman, our outgoing Copy editor. The office will not be the same without you.
