As I was walking into the seated area in the cafe, I ran into senior Reeves Malone who was enjoying her free period.
“I do not have much work to do right now, but I am waiting for my college counseling meeting that is in 15 minutes,” she told me.
Since I knew that she did not have anything for the next 15 minutes, I decided that I wanted to know more about what she has been doing for the past year and what her involvement at Lovett has been since she got here. If you know Reeves, she is always doing something whether it is homework, studying, or planning something for the week, so these 15 minutes were very rare to come across.
Reeves came to Lovett from Woodward Academy in the ninth grade and, ever since, has been involved in various activities throughout the Lovett community.
To start she became involved in Vestry in the 9th grade and has loved participating in chapel, vestry retreat, and more.
This year, she is a vestry warden which is a big deal!! Only two girls and two boys are picked from the senior class to have this title and she is one of them.
“We meet every Tuesday, lead the vestry group, plan the whole vestry retreat, read, acolyte, and participate in all school chapels,” she said.
Every year the vestry retreat consists of fun activities during the day and at night. The senior wardens are not only in charge of picking out the activities and skits but also the people involved in these events.
This year, the vestry retreat is “the weekend of February 22nd and I’m so excited. We still have a good amount of planning but it’s really fun because me and Francie [last name] get to plan the skits.”
On the sports side of things Reeves does cross country in the fall and soccer in the spring.
She said that one of her highlights of this year was to be on cross country because it’s “fun to be with people that I do not usually hang out with.”
Now that it’s soccer season, she said it’s a very bittersweet experience because she is so excited to play and lead the team, but is very sad because it is going to be her last season ever.
She was complimentary of the JV and Varsity soccer teams. “No one is bad and Lovett soccer will stay good for the upcoming years,” she said.
“I think we are gonna be really good again once we get into the groove and understand how people play. We are definitely going to be just as good as last year and have a good shot at winning another state championship,” she said.
When she’s not devoting time to her classes and extracurriculars, she likes to watch her new favorite TV series, Night Agent. It is on Netflix and she said she is obsessed with it. (I am definitely going to give it a try.)
Looking ahead, she is very excited to see how soccer plays out, find out about college in March, and, of course, participate in all of the senior festivities (especially senior spring break).
“I am excited to be with the entire class because we do not have a lot of moments with everyone together and it is always fun to be all together,” she said.
