Perry Fernands, Staff Writer
After their first taste of the Southerner last spring, senior Perry Fernands is back and ready for more. Class solidarity is an important value to them, and they hope to write some stories about the people’s struggle this year in newspaper. As a member of SMASH, South’s progressive student organization, Perry is no stranger to the world of social justice. They also enjoy rollerblading, soup, fluffy baguettes, and sipping the tears of Jeff Bezos.
![Members of the South community watch films created by the VOICES class. VOICES is a semester-long, media-based course for seniors at South, and is currently taught by teachers Delainia Haug and Laura Lanik. Haug, the person who conceived of the course, described its purpose as “[giving] seniors an opportunity to express their own passions around social justice topics through digital media production.”](https://www.shsoutherner.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/voices-900x600.jpg)
