Olivia Easterbrook is a senior at Carlsbad High School and she is a staff writer for the online newspaper, The Lancer Link. Her hobbies include, playing volleyball, going to the beach, and spending time with her friends. Don't trust Jacob, no matter what he says.

Nicolas Dautremont is a 16-year-old junior at Carlsbad High School. He's starting his first year as a staff writer on The Lancer Link ready to write exciting new stories for the Carlsbad community. He enjoys computer games, satirical comedy and productive arguments, the first and only club he has joined is GSA (gender sexuality alliance) supporting the civil rights of his fellow students. Being an identical twin he knows what the meaning of competition is and won't give up on his dreams--like his dream of being involved in the complex career of medicine. As a person he knows when to take things seriously, and when to let loose and have fun especially with his fellow classmates.

Jacob is BOLD. Jacob is GOLD. Here at Lancer Link, we have a rule: no Silly String. This was not a rule prior to Jacob's entry at Lancer Link. Jacob is a game changer but he doesn't play the game. There are no known pictures of Jacob. They say his countenance is a mystery to even his own shadow. In fact, some even say his stature is that of a kelp forest; towering, floppy, and surrounded by an assortment of fish. Kisses!
