Intelligencer Student Writers

Three high school students are contributors to the fall 2009 edition of the Martha’s Vineyard Museum’s quarterly journal, the Dukes County Intelligencer. Ian Tripp and Jack Shannon of Vineyard Haven and Will Stewart of Oak Bluffs were all students in David Wilson’s freshman English class last spring when they were assigned to do research papers on any Vineyard subject. Ian wrote about the extinction of the heath hen, Will explored the history of fishing on the Vineyard, and Jack told the story of the Gosnold expedition.
