Leila Rexhepi, 17, is a third-year Tom-Tom member and is ready to wrap up her senior year. With big goals of playing in the LPGA, she has been working tirelessly this summer to make her dream come true. While many people think she works at Cog Hill & Country Club, she is actually holding it together while doing infuriating putting drills. All this work has paid off though with winning a tournament with a score of 79 and earning Junior PGA Player of the Year. Although she may be aiming for the lowest scores on the golf course, she is not aiming for low goals and grades. She has earned student of the month, won IHSA sectionals for Photo Storytelling, first place for her ceramics piece in the LHS winter exhibit and secured qualifying scores for her AP classes. Currently, she is taking two dual-credit classes this year and is exploring her interests with Sports & Entertainment Marketing, Ceramics and ASL II.

The scene is set in the United States Radium Corporation factory with all the workers painting dials for soldiers. They paint using radium paint and are informed that they will have to lick the brushes for more precise numbers. They talk amongst each other shortly after discussing what this could cause but continue on with their work. Stone TeSelle, who played Mr. Roeder said after the show, “The easiest part was making friends and once you have that connection, the show comes along so much faster and it’s just so much fun to do it with people you love and I can’t wait to do it tomorrow and Saturday.”
