Senior Molly Ogden will be covering student features and the Perry arts department this year, as well as the occasional opinions and news piece. She is also the self-proclaimed “Grammar Control-Freak” of the 2015-2016 Precedent staff. Outside of writing for the newspaper, Molly sings in the Perry concert choir and Millennial Choirs and Orchestras in Mesa, plays guitar and ukulele, enjoys tubing and wake boarding, and spends any extra time reading/watching sappy romantic comedies.
