On the eve of 2024’s Leap Day, a rain covered Hill Street bit at the ground-grazing pant legs of all students with baggy jeans and oversized pants. Not very far away, tucked in the dry security of Ground Beall, NCSSM’s literary and arts magazine Blue Mirror celebrated the release of their Winter 2024 issue.

Established in 1982, this issue of Blue Mirror marked the beginning of their forty-second year dedicated to the literary and visual artwork of NCSSM’s creative community. A pinnacle of the humanities at Science and Math, every issue has held countless creative visions that may have been bubbled up in the classroom- all in Strawbridge Studio’s glossy print.

This year’s editors, Victor Chin (editor-in-chief), Gracie Lagerholm (managing editor) and Harshitha Vadlamani (layout editor) worked hard to deliver nothing less of a monument, a memoir, and a muse (that welcomes cutting and pasting on dorm walls) to fulfill its purpose.

Students crowded Beall 1 and listened to student artists and writers present their published works in celebration of the Winter 2024 issue release. (Harshitha Vadlamani/Blue Mirror)
