Mason Arneson, Editor At-Large

Mason Arneson is beyond ecstatic to be the Editor At Large for the Hopkins Royal Page during the 2019-2020 school year. Arneson is the leader of the Lindbergh Loonies fan section at Hopkins basketball games. He has been denied from having his photo in GQ because they said he was,”too handsome.” His ultimate goal in life is to meet the legendary Casey Frey.
