McKinley Murphy

McKinley Murphy, class of 2010, is a Creative Writing and Theatre double-major.

• McKinley comes from Farmington, a town smaller than Galesburg. She now lives in Lake St. Louis, a northern suburb of St. Louis, which is equally lame.
• She has a sister, Sasha Murphy, who is part of the Knox class of '11. She is going to be an Optometrist. She likes science and music.
• She enjoys wasting time on the Internet when she should be doing homework.
• She writes poetry of varying quality, and hopes to become a playwright. One of her poems will be in the Spring '08 edition of Catch.
• She is a member of Pi Beta Phi, Illinois Beta-Delta. Her Big sister is Abby Peterson '08. Her amazing Little sister is Caitlin Sahm '11!
• McKinley is named after Mt. McKinley, the tallest point in the United States. Unlike the mountain, she is quite short.
• You may find her spending time with Simon Schneider, a reclusive Physics & Mathematics double-major. It may sound as though they have nothing in common, but sounds can be deceiving.
• Her sophomore roommate was Paige Alyse Barnum, and they live in Conger 1. They enjoy watching their friends behave in a ridiculous manner, along with yelling, making strange noises, and listening to really bad pop-music, circa 2002.
• Unconfirmed rumors suggest that in this coming year, McKinley will be living at an undisclosed off-campus locale with the ever-sketchy Thai Stenzel and the aforementioned Simon Schneider. Their apartment will likely be mega-bitchin'.
