Hi! My name is Molly Fried and I’m a senior and the Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Pharcyde. I’m a member of the 14-Year Club here at Benjamin as well as the President of the Speech and Debate teams. I love reading, and I am a huge fan of stand-up, sketch, and situational comedy. My favorite edition of The Pharcyde is our annual humor edition!
