  • Noora Fatima '26

    Noora Fatima '26 is a modest writer for Barstow's one and only B-Line. She has experience writing journalistic articles for the newspaper at her old school and is a self-proclaimed writer that scribbles down poems and writs when she is not drowning in work. She enjoys reading historical fiction and other works of literature. Noora constantly finds herself cleaning up the messes made by her cat, Morphy (named after the chess player, not the makeup brand!), and as expected by her ownership of one, she loves cats very much. She ice skates and listens to an unhealthy amount of music-- it may be rare to see her without a chunky headset either in hand or over her ears. The one activity Noora prefers over writing, whether it be for the B-Line or recreation, is self-reflecting while lounging on the floor and staring at her pink ceiling. She plans to mainly pursue medicine and tentatively considers a future involving some sort of writing, and as of her high school years, she hopes to stick closely to the B-Line's endeavors with as much truth and unbiasedness she is able to muster.

  • Rachel Jacobs '26

    Rachel I. Jacobs resides as the official scumdiddling troucher of Kansas City. She is a solemn professional who is so well-known that she doesn’t even have to wear a name tag. Rachel’s favourite letter combinations are either WR, SN, or GR, and she loves them so much that she finds herself routinely cramming them into sentences (she also likes the letter M). Charle Scabjo (as she anagramically named herself)’s noblest aspiration in life is to empty out the Costco warehouse and slide about the building in her socks. She enjoys sliding about warehouses in her socks (not that she’s ever done so), although she is rather prone to toppling over and wounding the floor (sorry, mate). She hopes to one day become a space pirate (her vicious gurgling-noises are steadily improving) for the insurance-benefits and inclusive work environment, and takes delight in eating egg salad. Rachel’s cats, Agent Sparkles and Edward Zamboni, have, depressingly, never eaten egg salad.
