Logan Bauer served as the hand-selected student editor for the sixtieth volume of Expressions Magazine. Two works, Search Party (2025) and I Will Always Be With You (2024) are featured in it, and it contains an editor letter written by him:

     Creativity is about forging a new path, not just for whatever field one chooses to focus on, but also at the individual level. I cannot help but think back to the end of my freshman year at the annual Young Writers’ Forum Musicfest meeting where Mrs. Heile told me to “get into trouble; live recklessly,” (a rough paraphrase). After a year of submitting relatively straightforward narratives to the club, she challenged me through this surprising quote to get inspired, branch out of my usual style, and try something new with my writing. Taking her up on this challenge fundamentally changed how I wrote from then on, and it changed my life.

     One can see this ideal all throughout Expressions Magazine. For some, expressing creativity in any capacity is a major step outside their comfort zone. For others, honing in on specific elements of their craft and allowing them to be published is that leap. Being creative is an extension of oneself, and that can be seen in every piece of art in the coming pages.

     I am incredibly grateful for the guidance I have had in growing my confidence in my creative efforts here at St. Xavier High School. Mrs. Heile, Mr. Cahill, Mr. Ahrens, Mr. Reisert, Mr. Federle, Mr. Gabriel and Mrs. Bower have all been incredible mentors in growing my creative skillset. Without them all, I would not be the creative person I am today—one whose passion to make fuels my very being. I would also like to give a very special thank you to Mr. Reisert for selecting me to be the head student editor for the milestone sixtieth volume of Expressions Magazine. Presenting my work in the magazine for four years now has aided my confidence in my passion tenfold and I am incredibly blessed to have the chance to give back to it.

     I hope that the writing on the pages to come leaves a lasting impression, but that it also grants inspiration to make something new—the greatest impression of all. May this art bring about the inspiration to create that Mrs. Heile’s challenge did for me. To “live recklessly” is to get inspired. Thus, I extend this challenge to you: live recklessly.
