Adin McGurk, Print Editor

This guy is a senior who has written for The Beacon for three years. Vaguely resembling the character known as “Gumby,” The Beacon’s beloved Print Editor prefers to be called “Adin” (no, not “Aidan”), but you can really just call him by the name of any item listed on the McDonald’s menu. A few fun facts about young McMuffin are that he works two jobs and can dunk a tennis ball on a 10’ hoop. Also, he is a TOTAL ZOMBIE before he has had his morning coffee, so don’t even TRY to talk to him. :P
