As tableau says goodbye to the 121st term of The Cavalier Daily, we have more than just a few memories to be nostalgic about. The past year saw the exponential growth of our section, both in terms of number of writers as well as quality of content. We expanded the focus of tableau to include interviews with national figures ranging from country singer Miranda Lambert to alternative rock group The Flaming Lips; Glee cast member Heather Morris to How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor. Alas, all good things have to come to an end, and we've said our farewells to Senior Editor Dave Taggart, who radically changed the face of tableau, and to our wonderful associate editors, Rob Molster, Sara Wakefield and Alex Cutler.

We kick off the first issue of the 122nd term with an interview with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, and we have exciting features and interviews planned for the weeks to come.
