Senior Spotlight: Samuel Buck

Samuel Jens Buck was born February 4, 1999, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the second of five children. He is a good multi-tasker, as he answered the following questions while playing the popular game Narwhale.io.

Jon Gamble: Have you ever lived anywhere besides Eau Claire?

Sam Buck: No

JG: Not even the dorm?

SB: Shut up. I’m level 84!

JG: Do you prefer hot pancakes on a crisp day, or cold pancakes on a hot day?

SB: Hot pancakes on any day.

JG: What’s your favorite summer activity?

SB: Probably going fishing, but maybe close tie with working for Ronald B. Erickson

JG: What’s your best fish tale?

SB: One time Levi and I were fishing down at the creek, and there was a really nice hole, but we cast there like twenty times and nothing came out. We walked a little farther, then sat down to have a little break. While we were talking, Levi was just arbitrarily casting behind him, then all of the sudden his eyes got really wide, and a giant fish jumped out of the water. He missed it. He was mad.

JG: What’s the biggest fish you’ve ever caught?

SB: 27 inches, a pike

JG: Fondest high school memory? SB: There’s way too many to choose from. When we found out that we had won conference for baseball has gotta be up there. It was awesome.

JG: Why are you a Detroit fan?

SB: My dad was forced into liking the Packers, so he was traumatized from that. So when my uncle Seth came along, and he liked the Lions, my dad would watch games with him and became a Lions fan.

JG: I’m sorry.

SB: It’s not your fault.

JG: Do you relate more to Ferris or Cameron?

SB: I’m pretty indecisive, like Cameron. I can’t say anyone would donate money to get me a new liver, so probably not Ferris.

JG: Are your parents indeed the nicest people in existence?

SB: To you guys, but nevermind. They really are.

Sam’s Future

Drew: The Dead Sea will probably become unbalanced, so Sam will have to go renew its salt.

David: He’s made his garage his own laboratory and he’s become obsessed with stoichiometry. His wife tries to tell him to stop being so crazy, but his only response is a dumb joke about magnesium or some other element.

Levi: MIT graduate living in a cellar. Possibly eating his favorite meal, soup and sandwiches. He’d be working for Ron Erickson for a meager $8 per hour. Still hasn’t put in the floorboards of his truck.
