Blast from the past

It’s time to say goodbye to our favorite SENIORS! They’re packing up their lockers and heading off to bigger and better things. However, before we do so, let’s see how many faces you can remember! Match the current pictures from row 1 with their seventh grade portraits in row 2. Then, match the current pictures from row 3, with the seventh grade portraits in row 4.

When you’re done, turn your paper upside down and look to the corner to see how many you were able to get right!

Walnut bids farewell to faculty

Former custodian Ronald Lane poses with his family at a retirement ceremony held in his honor.

CINCINNATI, OHIO

Coloring Contest Winner

Congratulations to SENIOR Samuel Petersen for winning the Chatterbox coloring contest!

Sarah Hansen, ‘17 Ron Lane has always been a comforting presence in the halls of Walnut Hills, a figure promising mopped floors and refilled paper towel dispensers.

The janitor, known simply as “Ron” to staff and students, was a friendly face, bringing an atmosphere of good humor to Walnut’s couloirs. However, this winter, this bastion of corridor cleanliness announced his retirement from custodial duties, marking the end to a long career of janitorial dili-

gence.

Lane’s absence from the wide hallways of Walnut have been sorrowfully noted, with many students wistfully recalling a Ron-related anecdote from a bygone time. While the remaining custodians have borne Ron’s mantle with all due diligence, he will continue to be missed by all here at Walnut.

Johnston, pictured here with Social Studies teacher Ricky Harris, has spent 24 years teaching in Cincinnati.

Sarah Hansen, ‘17 This winter Rick Johnston, a long-time member of the Social Studies department and beloved history teacher, announced his imminent retirement.

An onslaught of medical problems heralded the end to a teaching career that spanning 31 years— over three decades of, in Johnston’s words, “[teaching] people to learn.”

Among his favorite memories are teaching children in the South Bronx, where he discovered his passion for teaching. As an educator, Johnston worked to “[see] the lightbulb in kids’ [faces],” and inspire intellectual curiosity.

Mr. Johnston currently has no plans for the immediate future, though he is considering political advocacy, especially concerning the rights of disabled individuals. Johnston also expressed interest in returning to South Africa.

Mr. Johnston implores students to be unafraid to ask teachers for help—especially so at Walnut, where there is no shortage of committed teachers willing to give assistance. To teachers, he says, “That little voice telling you to spend time with your family in the evening is your better angel.”

Wally Hill reveals herself

A final letter from the editor Dearest Readers,

Vanessa Moore, ‘16 When I was asked to be this year’s Wally Hill, I was hesitant. I had always wondered what it would be like to be him, but never visualized myself actually doing it. Being both a Viewpoints Section Editor and a Walnut tradition seemed a pretty bold proposition for a firstyear Chatterboxer. How do I write like Wally? What do I write about?

What if I don’t live up to the generations of Wally before me? And then I realized that the generations of Wally before me probably asked themselves the same question. So I took the job.

As a first-time Chatterboxer, I was finding my writing voice in two dimensions: as myself, a viewpoints columnist, and as an alias.

My mind was often in two different places; I had to conceal my identity while simultaneously publishing as myself. I couldn’t share this double life with anyone, besides Samantha Gerwe-Perkins, the adviser.

Not even our editor-in-chief could know. One of my favorite parts of this year was participating in the guessing game; everyone would try to identify Wally, pointing fingers at each other and dropping names, as I sat back fanning the flames of the witch hunt. Gerwe-Perkins was the only person who could appreciate the irony in me writing an article about anonymity as myself while also writing an anonymous article as Wally just below.

As Wally, I became more confident in my writing, because I wasn’t writing for myself; it didn’t matter how people would perceive my words because it wasn’t about me. It was my job to attempt to give tips and advice to students as just another student; a blank face among the crowd. No one knew Wally’s gender, race, background, favorite color, and this took away the inherent bias that is part of journalism. I was excited to be Wally because I hoped I could say some important things, without

people focusing on who was saying them.

Despite my hesitation at the beginning of the year, I am eternally grateful for this opportunity and for Gerwe-Perkins believing that I was capable of following in the footsteps of generations of Wallys before me (even when I didn’t believe in myself.)

I think that this is the beauty of our school; that there are people around you that see your potential before you see it within yourself.

Walnut is such a special place and I am sad to be leaving, but I know that the lessons I have learned here (as Vanessa and as Wally) will aid me in future endeavors. And so my final advice to you, reader, is to take opportunities as they come and make the most of them, despite your own reservations. And to the next generation of Wally, I didn’t quite know what I was doing either.

This is it! My journey at Walnut Hills High School is ending, as well as my journey as editor-inchief. In my first letter from the editor, I stated that I was writing the letter with an excited state of mind, and here in my final one, I am excited to move on to the next chapter in my life, but sad to leave behind the family I have made here at Walnut and in The Chatterbox.

Being in the role of editor-inchief has been an honor. I have been so happy to be the person making sure the Walnut community is being properly informed of the events that are happening here. I have also learned so much from the students I have had the distinct pleasure of working with all year, and have made memories with them that I will cherish forever.

SENIORS often say that they will not “miss Walnut”, but I can say with confidence that I will miss it here for many reasons. But The Chatterbox will remain the biggest reason. I write this letter with a heavy heart, because I am not ready to leave this incredibly special group of students behind.

Having said this, I leave the Walnut Community in the hands of some extremely talented students. Augusta Battoclette will be succeeding me as editor-in-chief.

Be prepared for a paper that gets better and better each issue next year.

Finally, I want to thank all of YOU, for the support we have gotten from students, staff and the rest of the community. Whether you only like the paper because you can play games in the Arcade section during class, or you find our articles as riveting as we do, I can speak for the entire group you are important to us, and you when I say we love what we do. are another reason we love to do The excitement we get in each what we do here in Room 2306. stage of the process is one of the best feelings. We love when we get For the last time, a great idea to write about, when we really nail an article/page, and Alexandra Berding when the paper comes to deliver Editor-in-Chief to all of you.

One final viewpoint: Oh, the places you’ll go Joseph Glandorf, ‘16

I am a SENIOR in my second semester, and this will be my last year here at Walnut Hills. I feel old. It has taken me five and a half years to reach this lofty position, and, looking back on everything, I realize that it isn’t only recently that I’ve acutely felt my age.

It was somewhere around the middle of junior year when the sensation struck me. I don’t remember the exact moment when it happened––perhaps it was more of a gradual creeping feeling than an epiphany––but I realized that the sort of work I was doing was the sort that myself from the distant

past would look at with shock and amazement.

I was covering sheets of college-ruled paper with complicated equations and arcane symbols, taking tests that forced me to recall obscure and intricate details, writing multi-page analytical essays in the space of one class bell. I was in three AP classes, and at the end of the year I would be taking three three-hour long exams, racking my brain for all of the obscure detail I’d forced myself to digest and retain over the course of an entire school year.

It was pretty cool.

I found that I could look back on everything––on all those

five long years that stretched out behind me in a boundless expanse––and, rather than feeling overwhelmed by a sense of loss and desperation, I was proud of how far I’d come. In science, I’d gone from learning what igneous rocks were to balancing complex chemical equations. In English, I’d gone from reading young adult books to reading novels, essays, and speeches by the greats. I’d sat down with Steinbeck and we’d had a pleasant conversation on his development of theme; I’d stood in the roaring crowds that cheered on MLK and Cezar Chavez, and I’d taken notes on their use of rhetoric. In history, I’d gained a far more detailed and

thorough understanding of the people and times I’d been compelled to memorize for years.

I won’t mention math because I hadn’t had a single ounce of fun from it until calculus this year.

Nothing against you at all, math teachers––it’s not necessarily your fault!

Of course, I’ve come a long way in other areas besides academics. In seventh grade, I dreamed of writing for The Chatterbox and participating in Walnut theatre, and for years I’d been too afraid to push myself to give them a shot.

Now I’m actually doing them, and I wish I’d started sooner.

I guess I’ve written everything

I’ve said so far to preface this last parting thought. We are a school full of procrastinators, and most of us are just making things up as we go. Please, learn from the mistakes of your elders instead of repeating them. Enjoy the road ahead, and be sure to appreciate everything you pick up along the way. Just try to have just enough foresight to recognize when there are problems ahead that need dealing with.

And lastly: you can, and will, do amazing things. Don’t take that for granted.
