Mario Grugan, News Editor

Mario is a Senior at Tyrone Area High school. If you were to see Mario in the hallway you would first notice his messy hair which wouldn't look out of place after a lightning storm. This is his 4th year in the Eagle Eye, and joined originally to better his writing. He does card tricks which is probably the most interesting thing about him. His personality can get annoying, as he is always energetic. If you have read Mario's first profile you will see he is not good at coming up with content about himself, so he will end this profile.
