December 2010

Ahhh. Finally, December is here! The most anticipated break of the school year is rapidly approaching and now it seems like just the right time for everyone to get warm and cozy. Not a care in the world. The pressure of the holiday is taking root in some, and others are daydreaming about those fabulous shoes you told your parents that you wanted. Yeah, all of that is nice but there is only one problem with that - you know those things we have called exams? Now, I know some of you think they do not matter, but being a student at Walnut Hills, they are kind of a big deal. Now is not the time to slack. In fact, it is the time to do just the opposite. Grind! We need to keep our achievements, for ourselves and our school community, a top priority. We do ourselves a disservice by letting our minds vacation early. Now, I’m not one to be hypocritical so this goes for us too, SENIORS. I’m not too sure when SENIORitis is officially supposed to “kick in” but with college application deadlines right around the corner, it’s definitely not this month. This is possibly the month that can either make or break your future if your priorities are not in line. Yeah, some college applica-tions are not due for a couple months, but who wants to drag out this pro-cess out to 2011 on account of being lazy? I sure don’t. So let’s be proactive. Eagles, the next few weeks are a perfect opportunity to end 2010 as stress free as possible. Let’s take advantage of this time and go into our break truly carefree.

SENIORS, IT’S OUR TIME!

As winter rolls around, it can become all too easy to lose track of the simple joys of living. Textbooks seem to get heavier each day, and the drone of teachers’ voices becomes ever more monotonous. But alas, do not lose all hope in your academically burdened life. I have compiled a list of activities with which you can entertain yourself this holiday season. So put the books away, tilt your perspective at a rakish angle, and do something besides history flashcards. Enter spontaneous idea number one: build a snowman. Of course, this given activity necessitates a blanket of white precipitation on your front lawn. Assuming there is snow to be found, I can think of nothing more refreshing than digging up a pair of mittens from the hall closet and embarking into the juvenile realm of snowman sculpting. You will not only exercise your artistic talents, but you will also clear your head with a healthy dose of cold winter air. After crafting your masterpiece, sit back with a cup of cocoa and admire the fruits of your manual efforts. Your beautification of the neighborhood, however fleeting, will surely be appreciated by local passerby.

How To Beat Academic Burnout

HappyHolidays!

A Field Guide to Sasquatch and Other Mystical Creatures

Rachel ChungChatterbox Staff Writer

It is widely accepted that Santa Claus exists. It is widely accepted that the zombie apocalypse is a very real threat, and that the threat of a velociraptor invasion is greater yet. But have you ever considered the creatures that could be lurking in the snowy woods naught but a mile from your home? While many a child has claimed to have seen Santa’s sleigh and the brilliant author Max Brooks has made zombie defense assessable to people of all shapes and sizes, countless adults have seen creatures such as Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch; The Abomi-nable Snowman, also known as the Yeti; and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Bigfoot is not necessarily a win-try creature. However, due to his gorilla-like appearance and dark fur, your chances of spotting him increase exponentially during snow season. For your Bigfoot-hunting information: Bigfoot is often found in the Northwest United States and Canada, areas heavily forested and sparsely inhabited. Accounts report that his height ranges from 6 to 10 feet, his weight around 500 pounds. This being said, it may not be in your best interests to go out looking for this monster. The Abominable Snow-man makes its home in or around the Himalayan Mountains. Known to the natives as the “Yeti,” this creature and its relatives have often been reported for the harassment of locals and their sheep. The East-ern Hemisphere equivalent

Idea numero dos (to be applied while studying for exams): If you find yourself with a work load too demand-ing to waste an hour or two romping around in the snow, here are a few creative study tactics to reengage your concentration. First, try reading your textbook upside down. It will surely give your eyes a workout and it will help you learn the material by exercis-ing your brain in a new and creative way. If you tire of this (or find that it is detrimental to your study habits), try re-writing your notes in Latin. Not only will this reinforce your knowledge of Latin grammar, it will guarantee your understanding of the subject you are translating. However, if you hate Latin or find that this idea just doesn’t jive with your academic schema, then it’s time to break out the big guns. Thus, we come to the most ingenious idea within this litany of study sug-gestions: color code your Biology notes with highlighters. This idea is a surefire way to re-experience your love of the Citric Acid Cycle via the appli-cation of a chromatic scheme. More-over, it is entirely practical, for a true Walnut student never goes without his or her trusty twelve pack of Office Depot highlighters. Whatever your style happens to be, you could use an extra trick or two in your metaphorical bag of study devic-es. Whether it’s a creative mnemonic device, or a colorful reinterpretation of your notes, you can always benefit from novelty. So the next time you start to experience academic drag, try a creative study tactic or recharge your batteries with a stint of snowman sculpting. But whatever you do, have fun, because life is too short to be seri-ous all the time.

Disclaimer: None of these tips will necessarily increase your GPA.

of Bigfoot, The Abominable Snow-man fascinates explorers from the West but is largely avoided by local Sherpas. The reported behavior of the Yeti seems akin to that of known species of monkeys; if sighted, it is best not to approach the creature, but it may be safe to view from afar. More important yet is the famous arch-nemesis of the Abominable Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. While Rudolph got his start in Santa’s transportation squad, he has taken on a new life of his own. Flying through the skies, guiding Santa’s sleigh with his gleaming nose, Rudolph has become a symbol of light and purity for the holiday season. The truth remains that no matter how menacing the threat of Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, zombies, or velociraptors, Rudolph will always be present to symbolize and glorify the brighter side of mythology. So, this holiday season, no matter what your race, religion, or mythi-cal preference (zombies or veloci-raptors), you can always comfort yourself by doing some research on one of our beloved monsters. And, when your local squirrel goes miss-ing, blame not your cat; perhaps it was Sasquatch—or was it Harry the Hanukkah Monster?

AdvancED AccreditationShiwani KamathManaging Co-Editor This year, Walnut Hills High School will voluntarily submit to an accreditation process by AdvancED. Developed nearly a hundred years ago, the program runs to distinguish American universities and second-ary schools achieving a high quality of education. “We’re going to be ac-credited, no objection. I want to know where we need to improve,” said Prin-cipal Jeffrey Brokamp. To assess the quality of educa-tion, each institution is tested on

research-based standards: vision and purpose, governance and lead-ership, teaching and learning, docu-menting and using results, research and support systems, stakeholder communication, and commitment to continuous improvement. These in-

dividual components will integrate to give a comprehensive evaluation of the school. Parents, faculty, commu-nity members, and Student Congress members will be involved in assess-ing each standard via indicators. In December, school officials will submit the survey of all standards to the Ad-

vancED Committee. Then, an external team will visit the school in January. To reduce bias, there are up to twenty-nine indicators for each standard and a four point rubric for each indicator. During their time at Walnut, they will conduct interviews with students and faculty and visit classes. Concluding their assessment, the team will meet with school officials to discuss the results. After compar-ing the evaluation sent by Walnut in December and their own, AdvancED will present the school with a set of recommendations and regulations. For schools that have done well in the past, like Walnut, these tests can pro-duce an abundance of galvanizing in-sights.

“I want to know where we need to improve.” - Jeff Brokamp

Walnut Hills and the Email DilemmaJonah RothNews and Features Editor

“Seven or eight years ago,” says Sallie Barringer, Walnut librarian, “definitely before anyone here was a student, but well within the memo-ries of the teachers, the entire dis-trict computer system was infected by a virus from. . . someone who was using Yahoo mail or something like that. And it shut the entire district down for two weeks. Dead. Every-thing.” This was the beginning of Wal-nut’s ban on email, a rule some stu-dents may still not know about. The WHHS Student Handbook defines viewing or sending email as a “Cat-egory-2” technology offense (listed alongside “harassing, insulting, or attacking others” and “playing non-educational games”). The punish-ment is “loss of independent access” for five days for the first offense, ten days for the second, and the rest of the semester for the third. Students, however, rarely are de-fiant enough to get past the first of-fense, with full-semester suspension

occurring “maybe twice. . . . With the seventh graders in the first quarter, we’re probably a little more flexible because they don’t understand,” said Barringer. Many smaller private schools provide students with email accounts, which new students at Walnut may be used to. Do other schools use similar policies? Simply looking at a poll of other non-Walnut students yields some interesting results. To the ex-tent that the Chatterbox was able to determine, no other school has this policy. “At my school, the students have basically won,” said Carmel Rechnitzer, a sophomore at Syca-more High School. “The school [has] no policy against email. It hasn’t been distracting or problematic and can actually be very helpful for both teachers and students.” This does not necessarily mean that Walnut students have lost. As an alternative to email, Barringer suggests, “It’s perfectly okay to use things like Zoho [www.zoho.com] or Google Docs [docs.google.com].” They are two of the most popular web-based office software suites, complet-ing the same tasks as programs such as Microsoft Word and Powerpoint

within a web browser and saving documents to an online “cloud” or server. These web suites make it possible to avoid using flash drives altogether. (Over the last month, the Chat-terbox has actually migrated from using school drop boxes and emails to storing and creating all articles in Google Docs. Speaking as an edi-tor, I believe it has made everything easier and more accessible. We no longer have to worry about network drives and flash drives.) What does this mean for the future? “Ultimately,” Barringer con-cludes, “I think even the flash drives are going to go away; everything’s going to be . . . cloud computing - the online servers.” Whether or not this turns out to be true, all Walnut students should seriously look into using one of these services.

across the country. Sources close to this subject (from Walnut and across the US) agreed to speak about this on the condition of total anonymity. “In my belief,” said one such source, “spice is a load of crap. . . . [It’]s worse than cigarettes for your lungs and is just as power-ful as weed. . . . Why would you do that?” Another student has an answer to that question: “It’s a euphoric feel-ing,” this individual said. “It’s a chill

Beware the Spice: Watch Out for “Legal Highs”Jonah RothNews and Features Editor

Officials in the tri-state area and all over the country are in a state of confusion over a new substance which mimics the effects of marijuana. Known as synthetic cannabis, the drug is sold under the brand names of “Spice” and “K2”, as well as many others. Sold as incense, K2 is legal in most of the US (the package warns “not for human consumption”). Aside from the inherent dangers posed by K2, a recent spike in abuse-related cases of unexpectedly dangerous inju-ries in the tri-state area suggests that the batch being sold could be danger-ously contaminated. When K2 was first sold, scientists believed it was composed of legal botanic contents. An investigation in 2008, however, showed that in fact this substance contains chemicals (cannabinoids) that negatively affect the brain, much like mari-juana. It has a large number of known side effects that are more dangerous than marijuana, includ-ing anxiety, panic attacks, mental agitation, hallucinations, seizures, and passing out. This substance, currently legal in Ohio, is available in Cincinnati. Although K2 is legal in most of the US, Oklahoma and Kansas have already banned it, and other states such as Missouri are taking simi-lar steps in that direction. Since the 2010-11 school year began, many people have suffered K2-related deaths or serious inju-ries, including an Iowa teenager who suffered a K2-induced panic attack and shot himself to death, an Indiana mother of two whose death has been directly linked to K2 abuse, a truck driver who drove his truck into a wall, and other high school students hospitalized

feeling - the initial high leaves you with an anxious feeling though.” Reports from other students indi-cate that the high is not as thrilling as that of other drugs, and because it is more likely to “go wrong”, it can definitely be an uncer-tain, worrying experience to use. Whatever the reason may be, students are

strongly discouraged from using this or any type of drug. Whatever benefits there may be are strongly outweighed by the harmful side effects and the illegalization that will inevitably occur within the next few years.

Profile: Dr. Timothy Miller (class of 1980)Jon MollerChatterbox Contributor

A Walnut graduate, husband to his girlfriend since 10th grade, and a father of two Walnut students, Good Samaritan radiologist Dr. Timothy Miller fondly recalls his time in high school. “When I was at Walnut, I guess my identity was…as a soccer player.” He was so good at soccer that he was recruited by Duke University’s soccer coach. During high school he also showed interest in science, taking many Advanced Placement courses and becoming part of the Junior Zoolo-gists program at the Cincinnati Zoo. “We’d meet at 6 am every Satur-day,” he recounts, “and we would have lectures, go to the anatomy lab over at UC, and do a lot of bird watching.” He recalls his future plans at the time were vague, but he did think he might become a doctor. “I thought I might be a pediatrician.” When he entered Duke, the challenge of balancing academics and athletics hit him with sudden force. “I had to make a quick and sudden transition when I got to college.” He had become a player for the best soccer team in the country. Ad-ditionally, he suddenly had to contend with a myriad of highly capable competitors – and with difficult classes. He quickly had to learn how to manage biology, chemistry, additional lab sections, calculus, and collegiate soccer. It was hard for him to balance all this. One day he tried to do two chemistry labs simultaneously – in one, he had to dis-solve a substance in sulfuric acid, and in the other, he had to boil some water. In his desperation to finish both labs, he mixed up the two clear liquids, and boiled the sulfuric acid, producing noxious fumes that quickly filled the whole lab and required an evacuation. “I resolved right then that I couldn’t do it.” At that point, he decided to switch from team to club soccer, giving him less pressure and more freedom to enjoy his favorite sport. He was then able to manage academics, and graduated from Duke in three years. He then went to the University of Cincinnati for medical school and did his residency at Johns Hopkins. The cost and debt involved in medical school was a major difficulty –“That is one hardship you have to face – you have to recognize [that] this is a very long road, and there’s money at the end of it, but there’s not money during it.” After fumes of sulfuric acid, much study, and many loans, the in-vestment of becoming a doctor has paid off for him. He loves his work because medicine is “one of those professions…where you are what your job is. That’s a status and a privilege…and it’s worth the money.” The work does have its stresses, such as the fear of lawsuits and of harming the patient – “My biggest stress is just knowing that what I say is really going to impact this person’s life.” He urges future doctors to start planning for medical school now and claims that medicine is rewarding for those who are both smart and humane. “If you want to be cordial, if you feel good to help people, particularly people who are in need, who are suffering, who are having a hard time, and it makes you feel good to help them, then it’s a great job to have.”

RULES FOR KENKEN®

Fill the grid with digits so as not to repeat a digit in any row or column, and so the digits within each heavily outlined box will produce the target number shown in that box by using the operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) hown by the symbol after the numeral. So, for example, the notation 6+ means that the numerals in the box should add up to 6, and the notation 48x means that by multiplying the numbers in the box you will get 48. A 4x4 grid will use the digits 1-4. A 5x5 grid will use 1-5. A 6x6 grid will use 1-6, and so on.

“When you’re inside the buildings, I think you’ll forget you’re in trailers,” Brokamp believes. Also in the works is a continuation of the road that leads off the campus past the gym (currently a narrow parking lot) and shortcut to Gilbert Avenue to help alleviate traffic congestion on Sul-sar and Blair Avenue. A new teacher parking lot and roundabout will be constructed near the new road. In March 2011, the north wing (closest to Marx Stadium) will be closed and all classes there will move to the “modular city.” Other classes that will move are those located be-hind the auditorium and in the old colonies. However, the new room numbers for all the classes that need to move have yet to be determined. These classrooms’ lockers will also move to the temporary structures.

This year, the renovation be-gins. The anticipated 67-million-dollar changes began over the sum-mer when the old music wing was torn down, soon to become the new academic wing. However, at the mo-ment, it is a dirt-filled field awaiting the 100 or more construction work-ers that will fill the campus starting in March 2011, when the main por-tions of the project begin. Teachers and students alike are awaiting the construction with nervousness and excitement. Over summer break, work began in other parts of Walnut, including the construction of new music mod-ulars, the removal of asbestos from the basement, and the preparation of the field behind the gym for more new modular class-rooms. The construction of what will soon be a 35-classroom “modu-lar city” as Principal Jeffery Brokamp calls it, began earlier in the school year. The modu-lars are being brought to the school by truck and assembled like a gi-ant jigsaw puzzle. This instillation began on November 11th. The new modulars, which will look similar to the music modulars, will be arranged into five separate buildings connected by sidewalks and containing class-rooms, restrooms, a con-ference room, a comput-er lab, and even a small faculty dining room.

The Alumni Founda-tion Director, Debbie Heldman, said that signage and maps will be crucial for informing students where their new classes and lockers will be after spring break. Renovation of the north wing and construction of the three buildings to be located behind the Arts and Sciences building and next to the auditorium will also begin. New routes will be established from the modulars to the other parts of the building. The length of time needed to get from class to class is also be-ing reviewed. Heldman also jokingly said that the changes that are set to happen will be a great time for some “mid-year locker clean-out.”

class officers and representatives so that each individual is a vital and important member. Kamath has delegated this responsibility to the Elections com-mittee of her newly-organized gov-ernment. This year, Congress has extended its member list to eighth-graders. Congress is having trouble with a lack of representatives, and is finding it difficult to get the student

population to participate. The fresh-man class had no representatives, and the sophomore class did not have the required minimum of five. Election packets were distributed in early November; while the freshmen and sophomores filled their quota, the eighth graders now have a voice in Congress. School Improvement is working on a “weed-out” program for clubs, looking to lower the amount of total clubs, and possibly fuse similar clubs together. The clubs with the lowest attendance will be cut. Ka-math warns that the cut-off date for forming a new club is at the end of this semester, so that Congress can focus on other things second semes-ter. They will also have bi-weekly forums for class representatives to talk about Walnut and suggestions for improvement.

Shiwani Kamath, Student Congress PresidentCorrena KuhlChatterbox Contributor She’s the president of Student Con-gress and an editor for the Chatterbox, but who is Shiwani Kamath and what are her plans for Walnut Hills? Last year as class trea-surer, Kamath discovered some things about Congress that she wanted to improve, inspiring her to run for President this year. “I no-ticed that most people knew about Congress only during club approval or elections. I wanted Congress to be something more beneficial to Walnut, not just a group of people counting ballots, plan-ning a pep rally, or going to Hoffman Elementary once a week,” she said. She and Vice President Sam Dubin restructured Congress, at-tempted to make it more streamlined and efficient, and gave everyone in Congress a responsibility. Last year’s Congress had problems with involve-ment and attendance, among other things, and Kamath hopes to combat these issues with her new approach to the position. The re-organization of Congress began with the formation of four committees: School Improvement, Neighborhood Improvement, Char-ity and Fundraising, and Elections. According to Kamath, plans have been outlined for each of these commit-tees, and Congress now has a concrete to-do list for the year. Giving each member of Congress a responsibility is important to Kamath, as she noticed last year that the leaders of Congress shouldered most of the responsibility of getting things done. She hopes this year to increase the involvement of the

Neighborhood Improvement is working on several projects. The committee met with Mr. Brokamp in early November to make plans for working with homeowners in Evan-ston. They will be lobbying landlords in the neighborhood to take better care of their property. They also invite the school to join Congress in volunteering at Hoffman Elementary and events in Evanston.

Charity & Fundrais-ing is taking care of Adopt-A-Family, and the gifts will be given to the families in early December. Later, in January, the Commit-tee will start preparing for Pennies for Pa-tients. Until then, they will be raising money to help support Congress activites. During the No-vember meeting, two new committees were formed. The Pep Rally

Committee will organize and execute the Homecoming Pep Rally as well as the second semester Winter Pep Rally. The Dance Marathon Commit-tee is in charge of organizing a dance with proceeds benefiting an orga-nization. The details have yet to be finalized, but Congress plans to have it during March for students at least in ninth grade. Most important to the new Presi-dent this year is keeping the student population aware of what Congress is up to. She reminds the school that the agendas and minutes for all Congress meetings are posted on the Student Congress bulletin board, located by the CIC. Student Con-gress meetings take place the first Wednesday of each month and any student interested can attend.

Varsity Wrap-upEli WilzChatterbox Staff Writer

Another Walnut Hills football season came to end on Friday, October 29th as the Eagles took the field against the Little Miami Panthers. The Eagles won by a score of 56-36 and ended the season on a two-game winning streak. The team finished with an even record of 5-5. The Eagles have shown gradual improvement over the past few years, and with the success of the younger programs, it appears that this pattern of improvement is not going to end any time soon. The JV team ended its season 8-2, winning the FAVC Cardinal Division, and proving that Walnut Hills is on its way to a successful varsity football team in the near future. The Eagles plan to move forward on the momentum of this season and will hopefully project themselves into the playoff race next year. According to Junior running back and return man Kenneth Davis, “The team ended off the season with a win. With this, we are taking in the idea that we are going to have a winning season, especially with us starting off next year against Wyoming on TV (at Nippert Stadium). The playoffs are in our minds for next year.” Team Manager Will Ross said,“I believe that we are going to come out with intensity [next season]. We know we can score a lot of points if we stick to the game plan.” So get ready Eagles fans - it seems like we’re going to have a lot of good football on our hands.

Jeremy Siegel: A Deeper LookMia ManavalanCo-Managing Editor

Gymnastics is generally not considered to be an overly popular sport at Walnut Hills. However, one particular student has taken part in gymnastics and has been tremendously successful. Junior Jeremy Siegel (left) began gymnastics when he was just three years old and has been participating in it ever since. He is currently on the Queen City Gymnastics team in Blue Ash, which he has been on for nine years. He commits an immense amount of his time to gymnastics, practicing for four hours a day, five days a week. When asked what his favorite part of gymnastics is, Siegel responded, “Being part of a team is awesome.” Spending so much time with his team has created a close connection among them. Siegel’s favorite and best events are the rings and high bar. The rings event is typically only done by male gymnasts because of the extreme upper body strength it requires. The high bar is one of the most exciting events in men’s gymnastics because of the giant swings, twists, flips, and the dismount. Siegel hopes to make the regional team this year, and believes he has a fairly good chance to make it. He comes from a powerful team that won the regionals meet in 2009. Siegel himself won the state meet and was a 2009 Level Nine National Qualifier. A few years ago, Proposition 9 was passed, which cut colleges’ funding for some sports, including gymnastics. Therefore, many colleges and universities no longer have gymnastics programs. Siegel still hopes to attend a university and continue his sport. His college choices include Stanford University, University of Michigan, The Ohio State University, and the College of William and Mary. Because swimming and diving are very much like gymnastics, Siegel also takes part in these two sports over the summer. While Siegel may be a terrific multi-sport athlete, he is able to balance schoolwork with sports as well. He manages a 3.9 GPA, making him a true student-athlete.

BowlingAdam Wolf Sports Editor

A new bowling season just began in November, and anticipation is in the air for the fol-lowers and play-ers on the team. “I’m really excited for this season,” said SENIOR Matt Guffey. “I think we’ll do re-ally well.” After a spectacular season last year, this sentiment is shared by the en-tire team. Hoping to continue this streak of great playing, the team is conditioning early and training hard. The varsity team practices twice a week at Madison Bowl and manages to not only work hard but have fun as well. “I really en-joy practices,” said SENIOR bowler Matt Hagerty. “I have lots of fun with them, but get a lot accomplished at the same time.” Hagerty has been on the team since freshman year, and is consid-ered one of the top male bowlers. He realizes that many do not quite understand what the bowling team is about, so he offers some insight on it. “Bowling is a team sport, not an

individual sport as many believe. The team is what pushes you to bowl better and be more competitive.” The competitions are

scored on a team basis. On the five-man team, each bowler plays in two indi-vidual games, and then they all partici-pate in a “Baker’s Game,” where each bowler bowls two frames of a game. All ten individual scores

and the Baker’s Game score are then added together to get the team’s final score. This com-bination of the individual bowler’s score with the score of the team creates a perfect mix of self-gratification and team welfare. Come out to a compe-tition and find out for yourself what all the fuss is about!

ships, leadership skills, and it’s taught me how to work with a large group of other people. Marching band also opened up my eyes to a whole different world of music.

C: What is your overall assessment of the music program at Walnut Hills?D: Walnut’s got one of the strongest music and arts programs anywhere in the city. With some of the best, most supportive, passionate arts instruc-

tors around, it’s a place where anyone can discover a love for the arts. Walnut’s requirement that students take a basic music course in 7th or 8th grade really strengthens the program too, as it widens the exposure to almost all of the students.

C: Any last words for the aspiring sing-ers at Walnut?

D: Just sing. Don’t let anyone tell you that what you’re doing is wrong - if you love what you’re doing, run with it. Participate in whatever ways you can, whether it’s singing at school, at church, in shows, in outside ensem-bles, with private lessons. Anything you do can help. Don’t give up on your-self - singing is really hard work, and if you stick with it, you may discover something you never want to give up. If you can, invest in private lessons - in terms of growth as a singer, there is really nothing that compares to one-on-one work with a skilled teacher who knows your voice.

Backstage with ClaytonClayton CastleFine Arts Page Editor

Walnut is proud to have an abundant amount of talented artists. I had the chance to sit down with one of those art-ists this month when I spoke with with David Gordon-Johnson, an accomplished vocalist and actor. He started singing in Kindergarten for his church choir and then joined the choir at Fairview in 2nd grade. Now, he is a member of Wal-nut Hills’ Marching Band and Senior Ensemble, as well as the Cincinnati May Festival Youth Chorus.

C: Who/what has been your biggest influence?D: There’s not a single person I could peg as my “biggest influence.” Katie Hofmann, my elementary school music teacher, is the one who re-ally got me singing and recommended me for the Cincinnati Boychoir. James Bagwell was the person who suggested I take voice lessons, and that suggestion literally changed the course of my life - I wouldn’t have started with Karl Resnik or Lincoln Chapman, my voice teachers, without it. They (especially Karl) have helped me discover that singing is my passion.

C: How has being a member of Marching Band helped you grow and develop as a musician?D: Being in the band has helped me grow, not just as a musician, but as a person. It’s given me amazing friend-

Glee will be nothing more than a variety show or one huge high school cliché. But currently, it looks like Glee fans have nothing to worry about. The writers continue to surprise view-ers with episodes dealing with issues

like spirituality and performing songs by Britney Spears. Could there be a time when Glee runs out of new ideas? Will the writers reach a point when there are no more boundaries to push?

Fans disagree, and point out that Glee is more than just a breakthrough TV program. The show’s new take on all genres of music continues to be enter-taining even when the song is just for fun. The writers have yet to run out of ideas to make the show interesting. Despite worries and complaints from critics, the music and performances of the Glee cast are entertaining enough to keep fans watching, whether the show pushes boundaries or not.

Walnut Hills Cappies ProgramTanner WaltersChatterbox Staff Writer

What does the term “Cappies” mean to you? You may have no answer to this question. As junior Eleanor Demaree puts it, “Half of the school doesn’t even know we exist!” This is an unfortunate reality. The seven mem-bers of Walnut’s Cappies team are im-portant contributors to a program that spans throughout Greater Cincinnati. Cappies, whose common name is derived from its title of “The Critic and Awards Program,” gives high school theatre enthusiasts the opportunity to review high school productions and present awards to performers, pro-ductions, and “techies” deemed to be excellent by the critics of the program. Here’s how it works. A participat-ing high school selects one production

GleeEmily FriedmanStyle and Culture Page Editor

Here’s what you missed on Glee: Mr. Shu was sick, and substitute teacher Holly Holiday took over the Glee Club. Sue became principal, enforcing new rules against junk food and tater-tots. Kurt went on several dates with his new “friend” Blaine, and the club realized how much it needs Mr. Shu, even though he may not always let the students sing what they want. The cast ended the show singing a mix be-tween “Umbrella,” by Rhianna, and the song “Singin’ in the Rain” from the 1952 musical-movie of the same title. With all the shows on TV, what makes Glee different? It’s never afraid to push boundaries. The show has ad-dressed many of the current social issues and has mocked high school stereotypes of cheerleaders, football players, theater geeks, etc. With every issue addressed on the show, it receives millions of views and remains widely popular. As the show continues, comparisons are made between the fictional William McKinley High and Walnut Hills High School. Two years ago, Walnut’s The-ater Department performed the break-through musical Rent. On the show, the club tried to perform it but was not allowed because it was thought to be too inappropriate for high school students. Like Walnut’s theater program, the club pushes boundaries in the arts whenever it has a chance, and recently performed the musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show. A lot of students wish Walnut had a Glee Club and think it would only ben-efit the school. Many wonder why, with so many clubs available, a Glee Club hasn’t been included. Walnut Hills had a Glee club in 1911, but it wasn’t popular enough to continue. Some people claim that eventually

a year to be reviewed by the Cappies (Walnut’s “Cappies show” this year is the drama Summertree). Critics come to the designated performance and write a review of the show. These reviews are eligible to be published on the Cappies website and sometimes even in newspapers - Walnut students have been featured before. “It was huge for me to get my article excerpted last year, because on my college applications, I can say that I’m a published writer,” said SENIOR Riley Theurer, the Lead Critic of Wal-nut’s Cappies team. Various awards are given to nomi-nees in subjects like “Best Featured Actor” and “Best Props and Effects” at the end-of-the-season “Cappies Gala.” At this event, selections from nominated productions are performed for the audience, and winners are an-nounced. Theurer went on to explain, “I’ve always loved musicals and theatre, but I never thought I’d get to be in-volved beyond just being a viewer (be-cause I’m by no means a performer). Then Cappies came along, and I actu-ally got to discuss theatre with people who cared about it like I did.” Cappies is a great opportunity for those with combined interests of journalism and theatre. The Walnut Cappies team attended a training session in October, where critics were taught how to write reviews and how to discuss shows with the proper etiquette, using a mock show put on by a group of Cappies as an example. Walnut’s team has been assigned to re-view five shows, including Grease at In-dian Hill High School and The Phantom of the Opera at St. Xavier High School. Besides Theurer and Demaree, the team includes SENIORS Jaron Warmack, Rachel Chung, and Lisa Bosken, junior Maddy Kissling, and freshman Nicole Jackson. “It has been a very positive experience so far,” said Chung. The group deserves recognition from the school for its excellent work in representing it.

A World of FashionCiara WilliamsChatterbox Staff Writer

Strike a pose and be part of a world with beautifully diverse styles. From Cincinnati to Tokyo, there are many competitive and changing fashion industries to learn about. How many people living in Cincinnati knew about the Cincin-nati Fashion Week last April? It was Cincinnati’s first fashion movement, viewed by over two thousand local and international guests. Fashion designers and support-ers came from around the world to see Cincinnati fashion, while local Cincinnati designers jet around the world to view collections from for-eign industries.Although Cincinnati has been trying hard to keep up, it is constantly competing with fashion industries in countries such as South Korea, Spain, Germany, Brazil, and India. They are still vastly more ad-vanced than industries in America. Even though the American industry isn’t as ahead as it could be, it still holds an international reputation, along with France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Even though the U.S. has gained a positive repu-tation in the industry, Europe and Asia have quickly advanced their styles and trends. In fact, these for-eign industries hugely influence what Americans wear. Each country of the world has dif-ferent fashion ideas to offer and dif-ferent styles to wear. The American fashion industry is largely based in New York City and Los Angeles. The clothes created in American indus-tries are seen as clean-cut and casu-al, and reflect sports-influenced daily wear in contrast to common European

styles. In London, a wide range of foreign designs have also integrated with their modern styles. This com-bination has created British clothes with smart and innovative designs. Japan’s fashions are unstructured and loose; the fabrics have rich tex-tures and subtle colors. Paris has in-

fluenced a chic, s ty l ish, and so-p h i s t i -c a t e d fash ion m a r -ket in France. F r e n c h

fashion is characterized by smart and elegant accessories. Italy remains the producer of the highest-selling fashion brands in the world. Have you ever heard of Gucci? Many people also use the popular Gucci perfume and buy clothes from the line. Italian fash-ions influence not only the global industry but the American and Cincinnati fashion scene too. Local fashion is greatly influ-enced by foreign industries. Wal-nut students unknowingly follow European trends every day. Jean jackets, scarves, layers, and pearls are all trends that began in Eu-ropean and Asian countries. The most popular labels: Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Burberry, and Prada are all based in Europe. The world is filled with so many different styles and fashions to wear. With countries advancing so quickly, who knows what new fashions will be created.

From “wrock” (Wizard Rock: music about Harry Potter) to the fan-made A Very Potter Musical (available on YouTube), there is an endless supply of magic-culture created by zealous fans. But on the 19th of November, 2010, the first of two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie was released nation-wide. The second part will premiere on July 15, 2011. But what happens after? No more movies, no more books. Harry’s ad-venture will be over. People all over the world cherish and love Harry Potter. Characters Severus Snape and Albus Dumb-ledore have taught readers life les-sons, the Trio’s heroic and deadly adventures have kept fans hanging, and antics of the Weasley twins have kept them laughing. Even though it’s coming to a close; the amazing world Rowling has shared with us will live on. It may be the end of an era, but Harry’s magic will last forever.

Foreign FilmsMarianne RobisonChatterbox Contributer

You’re walking down the rows of movies at Blockbuster, and you see the foreign films section. Chances are, if you’re a typical American, you’ll have some fun pronouncing the name and then move on to the action or romance movies - in English. Am I right? People tend to be turned off to for-eign films by the amount of effort it takes to watch one. They cringe at the thought of being unfamiliar with an unknown language. So they play it safe and move on. The quality of any movie depends on a multitude of things: costumes, act-ing, lighting, and the depth of the plot. Foreign films’ stories and cinematic techniques vary depending on their cultural influences. French film Paris, Je T’aime (Paris, I Love You) is derived from the unpre-

dictable nature of Parisian life. It is told from the viewpoints of twenty-two different directors of various nationali-ties. Paris, Je T’aime exemplifies the stereotypical foreign movie and goes completely over the heads of its view-ers. It has no underlying plot for peo-ple to follow, and it’s no surprise that many American viewers walk away thinking, “Those darn foreign films! I can’t understand the language or the plot!” Not all foreign films are like this. Allow me to prove it to you with two popular foreign films:

Das Leben der Anderen: In East Germany, 1984, no one can be trusted. A member of the secret po-lice spies on the home of a man whose house is wired as a trap. The secret po-liceman turns against his superiors to take a great risk for a man he hardly knows. This movie spins a tale rarely heard, with historically accurate scenery, cos-tumes, and German viewpoints of the time. The lighting is dark for the most part, until the end of the movie. This artfully symbolizes the hostile mood of the Cold War. This movie successfully portrays the ideal that there is a seed of good in everyone. Its message: a lie can be a shield as much as the truth can be a weapon.

La Vita é Bella: A Jewish father is sent to a con-centration camp with his son. He pro-tects him from the horrifying truth by making it a game. This movie takes an abstract view of the Holocaust while most directors/writers have portrayed it in a direct way. The lighting is sur-prisingly cheerful, even though the topic is not in the least. The director’s radical methods of focusing the light of history onto one concentration camp, and turning the light a different color, should be reason enough to appreciate this movie. So next time you’re passing the for-eign films aisle, take the time to con-sider watching one. You’ll be surprised how much you’ve missed.

The Hogwarts Express Leaves For GoodGillian GunawanChatterbox Staff Writer

When someone says “magic,” what do you think of? Robes? Pointy hats? Crooked noses? Broomsticks? Or, more likely, Harry Potter? For many fans, that’s exactly it: Harry Potter, the famous series of fantasy novels written by British author J.K. Rowl-ing. This seven-part series about the famous wizard Harry Potter, his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and a large cast of side-characters has captivated a wide range of audiences for over a decade. Harry Potter begins as an orphaned boy living with his abusive blood rela-tives, who are Muggles (non-magical people). Eventually, he heads off to Hogwarts, a magical boarding school famous across the Wizarding World. On the way there he meets people that hold great significance in the future of both the Muggle World and magical worlds. At Hogwarts, bonds are made as students are sorted into houses, and hostile feelings are pro-duced. These feelings grow and ex-pand over the years, climaxing and finally exploding with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While they appear on the outside to be merely quirky fantasy books, many believe the Harry Potter novels hold a deeper meaning: how love and friendship can conquer all. When Harry Potter and the Sor-cerer’s Stone was published in 1997, Rowling was a nobody and Harry was merely a little wizard boy, off to Hog-warts. Soon, however, came Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, movies, audio books, and huge fan base. By July 2007, the release of the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was being awaited breathlessly. “Dedicated” can hardly describe the avid readers of Harry Potter.

Senior Dinner DanceJames Avant IVChatterbox Contributor

Were you aware that less than 14% of the SENIOR class attended the SENIOR Dinner Dance? Thirty seven of the 266 SENIORS carried on this tradition of fellowship that was established 9 years ago by Dr. Hough-ton, a retired assistant principal. The SENIOR Dinner Dance is not just an-other social event hosted by the school. Its primary goal is for SENIORS to revel in their last year and mingle with fellow classmates. There seemed to be a bit of confu-sion as to why the dance was $30. Mind you, there are extra costs incurred when organizing an event. Thirty dollars provided an individual a gourmet meal (which consisted of 3 courses), the service staff of the coun-try club, and fellowship with friends. This was much better a value than,

Who Are The Girls in Pink?Summer Robinson & Bria NeilChatterbox Contributor

Have you wondered why the seventh and eighth grade young ladies meet with the SENIOR girls in the Forum during second lunch? Perhaps you have wondered why many upperclass girls wear pink on Thurs-

days. Girl Talk is a safe haven for younger girls to receive advice from SENIOR girls on a variety of topics dealing with school, sports, family, and of course, boys. It is an opportunity for SENIOR ladies to bond with the younger students. Girl Talk meets every Thursday in the Forum. It is comforting for the 7th and 8th grade girls to converse with SENIORS. Ad-vice about guys is always number one on the list of topics; most of the meetings are spent asking the leaders about their first kiss, first love, and even breakups. Howev-er, not all of the topics have such a romantic slant. Making a transition to a new school can be hard, especially when one comes to Walnut Hills. The leaders help girls with abuse problems inflicted by themselves or others, low self-esteem, and even depres-sion. The leaders attempt to soften the blow of leaving many friends behind and starting over. When discussing such emotional top-ics, students don’t find it easy to open up to strangers. Creating a bond between the girls is necessary before engaging in confi-dential activities. The first event between the girls was the creation of a web of yarn intertwined with their shared and personal information. The yarn was later cut into bracelets, representing the connection this group of young women will always share. It is an invigorating experience for the SENIOR Girl Talk leaders to help the

perhaps, renting out part of TGI Fri-day’s. Compared to other dances,the SENIOR Dinner Dance was only ten dollars more than Homecoming, at which there was only beverages and candy. Although the turnout was not as expected, those SENIORS who did attend the dance thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The sunglasses, glow-in-the-dark sticks and necklaces, and other flashing trinkets added to the night’s excitement. The SENIORS let loose and had fun. The true class spirit was not shown until the very end of the dance, when the SENIORS were joined in a large circle swaying back and forth to the soft unifying melody of “Forever Young.” At that moment, any tension, bias, or differences were put aside. Although this year’s attendance was low, members of the SENIOR class did enjoy themselves. Future SENIORS should take part in this exclusive class celebration and make this a worthwhile event for all to remember.

Just Nuts December 10, 2010

What do we do? Kill the an-nouncements. Perhaps eliminating the announcements altogether is a bit extreme. Allow me to rephrase: shorten the announcements. The truth of the matter is that such a reform is almost impossible. Some people must want to hear all about the sports schedule, some about theater, some about Quidditch, and some about the Words of the Day. As a result, none of these aspects of the morning routine can be fairly expunged. In light of this dilemma, allow me to suggest a few alterna-tives. The key to making the announce-ments more palatable is the equi-table distribution of the announce-ments themselves. There are several media in existence that could aid with the presentation of informa-tion. The morning announcements are one of several options—the daily bulletin, often neglected, is a viable source of information, and that mys-terious bulletin board at the junc-tion of Alumni Hall and the main hallway would make an excellent announcement board. In addition, we could use our newly renovated website to be an even more active source of fresh information. In short, I hardly expect any of these suggestions to take effect. However, most students will agree that our daily routine could use a little more zest. Perhaps their length is an intentional ploy to make us, the students, miss our class time, and therefore miss our learning. Just maybe.

An Important Announcement Wally Hill 8:20 AM. Congratulations! You’ve survived the first bell of the day. As you settle into your second bell class, your teacher waits calmly behind his or her desk. About thirty seconds after the bell, the familiar voice of our fear-less leader wafts from the overhead speakers.

“Teachers and students, could I have your attention for the morning an-nouncements...” The typical layout of morning an-nouncements is as follows:Salutation, sports announcements, other administration-read announce-ments, student-read announcements, more administration-read announce-ments, and the Words of the Day. While I was carefully memorizing this outline, it occurred to me: what are all these announcements for? Nat-urally, the morning announcements have been a tradition for decades. As a result of my extensive research, the purpose of the morning announce-ments is largely to: a) inform students of important upcoming events, b) no-tify students of important past events, and c) recognize the admirable work of distinguished students in various extracurricular activities. However, are these the only func-tions that the announcements now serve? More and more often, I find myself listening to reports of past and future athletic games, meetings that regularly occur once a week, and other things that certainly do not apply to me. Although there is nothing better than hearing your name on the loud speaker, I am almost positive that less than half of the student population needs to know that the Junior Varsity Chess Team has a match this Friday in Mason.

hallways! The cats! They have been wandering around the circle being innocent and a joy to mostly ev-eryone. Regrettably, there are two threats facing these poor felines: Juvenile Effies and the icy, white death slowly approaching. Unfortunately for the cats and those who enjoy admiring such cuteness, a number of Effies are not sympathetic to these animals and tend to jump at them, like a bull is charging at red cloth. If this continues, the cats will always be afraid of us and refuse aid as the winter comes. Recently, another litter of kittens has been spotted around Blair Circle and this poses a major concern: in the winter, these cats will not survive long once the weather be-comes ex-tremely cold. As stu-dents com-mitted to civic engage-ment, a relief effort should start to save these animals. Stu-dents and parents at Walnut Hills have put out bowls filled with food and water for the cats. This is a nice gesture however, sadly, the cats cannot stay here. These cats have been in Blair Circle for several years but it is best that a home is found immediately. Mr. Brokamp has sug-gested we find an organization that could safely remove the cats from Blair Circle and find somewhere the kittens can prosper, live happily, and hopefully, warmly. Step up Wal-nut! Help find these cats a home.
