Ever since he came to Walnut in the eighth grade, Richard Fu, ‘16 has played cello in Chamber Orchestra. However, he has been playing for much longer than just these four years at Walnut -- 12 years in all. “[A cello] was a birth-day present for my fifth birthday,” Fu said. In addition to Chamber Or-chestra, Fu is one of four members of a more advanced Chamber En-semble. Chamber Ensemble was “[formed] to provide a better expe-rience for those who had superior

In the winter of 2013, Antonio Wooten, Jr., ‘16 decided to turn his passion for designing and creating streetwear into a full-on business. He subsequently created his cloth-ing brand Appreciate the Craft (ATC). “It really started as just an idea. I started doing custom/bespoke hats for myself and jeans. As people took a liking to it, I became more interested in making products available to everybody,” Wooten said.

SENIOR Tyler Adams has a dream: professional singing and acting. He is on his way there al-ready -- he was chosen to appear on “The Voice” and was also signed by the label AGI Entertainment. Although Adams was chosen to appear on “The Voice” this year, he chose to wait until he graduates for both this and his deal with his AGI Entertainment label, in which he will sing covers and potentially original works. He plans to do

On National Signing Day, five Walnut Hills student-athletes signed to continue their athletic careers at the next level. SENIORS Daniel Bundschuh (soccer), Reid Finley (football), Darien Jackson (football), Kam-eron Johnson (football) and Logan Wiedmann (soccer) signed their national letters of intent in front of family and friends in the Walnut Hills gym on Feb. 4. Bundschuh and Wiedmann, varsity soccer players for all four years of high school, committed to play at Capital University in Co-lumbus, Ohio. Capital, a Division III school, had an overall record of 10-9-1 last year. Their 4-4-1 con-ference record placed them fifth in the Ohio Athletic Conference. The team consists mostly of freshmen and sophomores, an adjustment for the pair as Walnut had 15 SE-NIORS on the roster this year.

Daniel Bundschuh, Soccer Capital University

Bundschuh, a center midfield-er, scored 32 goals in his career at Walnut Hills. His play led to three All-Conference selections, two All-City selections, Eastern Cincinnati Conference (ECC) Player of the Year and Second Team All-State his SENIOR year. Bundschuh re-ceived offers from Bel-larmine University, Baldwin Wallace Uni-versity and Transyl-vania University, but said he chose Capital because he “really likes the coach and team.” “There’s quite a few CUP [Cincinnati United Premier, Bundschuh’s club team] kids there and it was a bonus to be able to go with Logan,” Bundschuh said.

Logan Wiedmann, Soccer Capital University

Wiedmann was Walnut’s starting goalkeeper for the last four years, amassing many accolades along the way. As a junior, he recorded a Walnut record of eight consecutive shutouts, placing him sixth of all

time in the state record book. He joined Bund-schuh on the All-Conference and All-City Team his junior and SENIOR year. Wiedma-nn said he chose Capital because he “felt at home

there. The campus was pretty mod-ern, but not too big.”

Like the soccer standouts, all three football players decided to sign with the same school. How-ever, instead of moving north, the players migrated south to the Uni-versity of Pikev-ille in Pikeville, Kentucky. UPike, a former National Association of In t e r c o l l e g i a t e Athletics (NAIA) school transition-ing to Division II, posted a 5-6 re-cord last year while playing in the Mid-South Conference.

Reid Finley, FootballUniversity of Pikeville

Finley, Walnut’s leading wide receiver for the last two years, ac-cumulated 80 catches for 980 yards and four touchdowns in his three-year varsity career. He earned First Team All-Conference his junior and SENIOR years and was named the Skyline Crosstown Showdown MVP in the team’s first game of the season against Sycamore. Fin-ley received offers from Tabor Col-lege, West Virginia State University and Mount St. Joseph University, but said he ultimately decided on UPike because he had a “chance to play with his teammates.” Finley was noticed by Miami University in Oxford, but Finley said he was not offered a schol-arship because he did not have “enough explosion” and was not “big enough.” These comments have fueled Finley to prove he has what it takes to play on the Divi-sion I level.

Darien Jackson, FootballUniversity of Pikeville

Jackson, a starting defensive back for two years, used his pure

athleticism to gain the attention of college scouts. His 4.47-second 40-yard dash and 33-inch vertical propelled him to receive offers from Tabor College, Ur-bana University, Dordt College, Union College of Barbourville,

Ky. and Georgetown College of Georgetown, Ky. However, Jack-son said that UPike stood out to him because “the coaches recruited me heavily and texted me every day and showed that they really cared.”

Kameron Johnson, Foot-ball

University of Pikeville

Johnson, an offensive lineman known for dedication to his team, selected UPike over a myriad of different schools. He led the team in pancakes-blocks to the ground- with a torn tricep for the entire sea-son. Akron University and Toledo University scouted him, but John-son said his heart led him to UPike because “they want you to succeed in life and not just football.”

Signing Day for winter sports is April 15, when Walnut Hills ex-pects to sign at least four athletes to play in the collegiate level.

student of Walnut Hills, I know personally that the system has always been unstable, and it’s not just me -- teachers and students alike constantly complain about the erratic system. Understandably

they cause irritation. It’s impos-sible to dress properly because all rooms’ temperatures differ drasti-cally. School is stressful enough without worrying about tempera-ture shifts. It’s time for a change,

Letter to the EditorsDear Editors:

The art rooms are arctic; the South Wing is sweltering, and we have a problem: the heating and cooling system. As a four-year

Shades of Valentine’s Day5

Taylor Darks, ‘15

During Valentine’s Day the students of Walnut Hills seem to go through a transformation. Some break out of their shells and others burrow deeper into theirs. No matter where on this spectrum you fall, perhaps these examples will help you figure out which shade you fit into.

Check your skin, because you’ve turned green in your quest to ruin your friend’s happiness. You’re mad that your best friend has a Valentine and you don’t. You’ve “decided” to spend the day alone, since you’ve turned down the numerous requests to go out. How-ever, you can’t hold your tongue when it comes to pointing out your friend’s flaws in their relationship, and how great the single life is. Misery loves company, and your goal this Valentine’s Day is to get lots of it.

In a perfect world you would be receiving anonymous flowers from your biggest crush, and your admirer would be knocking down your door with gifts and marriage proposals. You are an avid roman-tic novel-reader, especially of the “Twilight” series. You’re Team Edward but you secretly have a Team Jacob T-shirt in your closet. Don’t worry, though; they’ll fight over you just the same. So cozy up with a good book and choco-late cake, and let the page-turning adventure begin.

Being a single lady isn’t all bad, as long as you have other single ladies to be single with you. Although Valentine’s Day seems to be about relationships and love, it’s also about the people around you who you care about, and who care about you as well. Why not show your friends how much they mean to you? Bake cupcakes (preferably chocolate), and invite them over for romantic comedies and scary movies. Surround yourself with those special people in your life, and have fun complaining about the relationships you aren’t in, “Thank God.”

Just because you’re short on money doesn’t mean you can’t give your special someone the most romantic night of his/her life. Burn the house down together as you two cook dinner. Light some scented candles to get eliminate the smoke smell. Order a pizza, since dinner didn’t turn out as planned, put on a movie, sit on the couch and talk about your innermost feelings. Or if you’re just not the planning type, here are some bargains you can look forward to:

Movies to watch :1. “Titanic” 2. “The Notebook”3. “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”4. “Twilight” (if you must) 5. “Stella Gets Her Grove Back”

You two are the envy of all your friends. Your butterfly kisses and pet names make everyone sick, but lucky for you, you have what your friends don’t: a relationship. Someone to send cute emojis to, and to hold your hand in the hallway. But this Valentine’s Day, you’ve decided to take it up a notch with flowers, candy, between-bell kisses, sentimental cards, bears... and don’t forget those annoying heart balloons you tied to your book bag. Go all-out this Valentine’s Day, since the holiday only lasts the day anyway.

Chaucer referenced Saint Valentine’s Day in a poem he wrote to com-memorate the engagement of the young British king, beginning the trend of associating Valentine’s Day with romance. The 19th century saw the birth of the concept of paper Valentines. Now, romantic partners

everywhere purchase gifts such as cards, chocolates, teddy bears and jewelry to symbolize their love. Val-entine’s Day is celebrated all around the world, in countries such as China, Portugal, Equador and Iran. At Walnut, whether it is couples showing affection to each other in

the hallways, or people wearing all black to advertise their dislike of the holiday, the influence of Valentine’s Day is prevalent throughout the school. To celebrate this holiday, the Chatterbox is featuring a handful of Walnut couples from all grade levels.

Psst… he likes you. Want to be his girlfriend? With Valentine’s Day coming up, this could be one of the most exciting things for someone to hear. Love is in the air! Notes are being passed, text messages are be-ing sent and couples are forming. On the brink of adolescence, sev-enth- and eighth-grade students are just starting to be attracted to each other. But what defines a cou-ple in middle school? “Being able to spend time with them in a non-awkward way,” Kaiana Linnere, ‘19 said. A response from some junior high students was going to the movies. Going on these small dates can help a pair bond further, and possibly give them more common ground to base their relationship on. Another way to do this could even just be “sitting together at lunch,” Maya Eberhardt, ‘19 said.

Don’t they seem kind of young? Finn Biales, ‘20 and Megan Frank, ‘20 are two students who are currently in a relationship. Since Dec. 2014, when Frank asked Bi-ales out via text message, they have been happily together. Despite the positivity in their relationship, other students have had differing opinions on dating in junior high. Many students interviewed said that they thought a suitable age for starting to have a serious relation-

ship is around 15. Others believe that people as young as 12 are able to maintain this type of relation-ship. The main problem in dating in junior high is the issue of trav-eling. Until students turn 16, they have no way of transporting them-selves to dates and other places. They have also not fully matured.

Because of this, junior high cou-ples may not take certain aspects of their relationships seriously.

How long will they last? Frank and Biales predict that they will be together for a long time. However, many students, when interviewed, said they

thought these types of relation-ships would usually not last for more than a month, while some even speculated that they would be over in less than a week, although a few responses ventured upward of six months. To insure a long-last-ing relationship, it is important to be “able to fully understand what

you are getting into when you agree to be someone’s girlfriend or boyfriend,” Jemia Stout, ‘19 said.

They’re only together over text message. A common way students form relationships is over text message.

This is the case with Biales, who was asked out by Frank this way. Linnere, along with the majority of students interviewed, thought that most junior high couples only tell people they are together without having a real relationship. Simply having a friendship rather than a true relationship is what Eberhardt thinks happens with most junior high students who say they are dat-ing.

Although many students do not believe junior high relationships are real or that they should even happen at all, seventh- and eighth-grade couples still continue to form and many seem to be happy together.

Dear Piper,

I’m single and I want to have fun on Valentine’s Day instead of being reminded of how I don’t have a significant other. What should I do?

Sincerely,Single Sarah

Dear Sarah,

Here are some tips to embrac-ing your single status:

If people choose to rub your single status in your face, give them some reasons as to why you like being single! You get to do whatever you choose to on Valentine’s Day; may-be you could make gifts for friends and family, have some well-deserved girl time with your friends, or even just have a relaxing day to yourself.

Don’t spend Valentine’s Day around couples – instead, hang with other single friends. You are not alone in being sin-gle. There are plenty of people feeling the same way you do, and if you have something you’ve just been dying to do, now is a great time to fulfill it.

Sincerely,Piper Peanut

Julia Duell, ‘19Allison Meier, ‘19 On Thursday, Feb. 5, Eighth-Grade Honors students and students of science teacher Brian Pinkerton competed in the 2015 Walnut Hills High School Science Fair. Students who received a ranking of “superior” have been invited to the regional competition, which will be held at the University of Cincinnati on March 14. A “superior” is the highest category in scores, with a range of 36-40 points out of a possible 40. However, all students who did not receive a superior score, but an excellent score nonetheless, were also invited to attend regionals.
