YOU. YES, YOU. WRITE FOR US!!!
Hi. We're Claremont's Really Academic Paper, the City of Claremont’s only student-run literary humor magazine. Although we claim a long and storied history going back about 111 years, in simplest terms, CRAP was founded by Benito Summers Sandoval ‘24 and Harith Nasrun ‘24 in the middle of the 2021-2022 school year. Inspired by the Harvard Lampoon and Harvard Crimson rivalry, Summers Sandoval and Nasrun decided to create a superior, funny magazine to knock the Wolfpacket’s ego down a few pegs. Thus, CRAP was born.
Benito served as our president and editor in chief from its founding until his graduation, with he and Harith writing a majority of the articles for every monthly issue, as well as designing cover art, maintaining the website, and running social media. They brought their close friend Lyle Mideiros ‘26 onboard in their senior year, and appointed him a worthy successor in fall of 2024. Now, CRAP works (begrudgingly) as the humor arm of the Wolfpacket, dedicated to making fun of CHS so you don’t have to.
