Spencer Taft, Staff Writer / Copy Editor

Spencer Taft is a senior at GHS, current captain of the chess team and ROTC cadet Staff Sergeant. His favorite subjects are Science and English. He enjoys playing video games, thinking about writing poems and never really getting around to it, and being a general dweeb. The 2014-15 school year will be his first working for the Gillnetter, but he plans to pretend he has an idea what he is doing for as long as possible.
