May has always been a hectic time for students and staff with the end of the year fast approaching,
in addition to the disrupted class schedule as students take their AP and IB exams. While this year has undoubtedly been the same, students also adjusted to new attendance expectations.
Principal Emilie Greenwald explained last year’s policy for AP/IB tests.
“Students [were] released for half days . . . allowing them to self-select times for studying,” Greenwald said.
This year however, students are expected to attend all classes unless they are taking an AP/IB exam, in which case students are excused for that entire day.
Senior Lauren Stechschulte who took five AP tests both this year and last year, said she enjoyed the opportunity to take a half-day to study; she is unhappy with the change.
“I liked having the half day off before the test to study,” Stechschulte said. “Having it after the test does not improve my test score. It will probably just make it harder for me to concentrate during the test because I will be impatiently waiting for when I can go to lunch and hang out with my friends.”
Greenwald explained that the old policy resulted in confusion and
complicated attendance, causing the administration to re-evaluate the system and adjust the policy.
“The policy change for AP/IB testing came about from trying to simplify when students are expected to be at school,” Greenwald said. “It enables students and staff to have a clear understanding of when students should be in the building.”
Stechschulte doubts this will be the case; she said students may find their own way to take a study day.
“In all honesty, I think [this policy change] may make attendance more complicated since so many people are just planning to call in ‘sick’ the day before their tests,” she said.
As Stechschulte said, with so many students now out for days at a time, she often has found herself in a class with only five or so kids, making it difficult to continue with normal lessons.
Greenwald said a possible future change may be moving towards something known as a “May term”, where students finish with standard classes earlier and are then free to take electives for the remainder of the year.
“I think [a May term is] something we may investigate in the future. The challenge is what we do with all students,
those who are involved in AP/IB testing and those who are not,” Greenwald said. “Some of what may also drive the discussion of a May term is end-of-course exams and when they will be given. We anticipate those replacing the OGT starting in the 2014-2015 school year, but we don’t yet know when they will be or how we will administer them, electronically or
on paper, like the OGT.”Regardless of what changes might
be made in the future, Greenwald said she believes the school has continued to run smoothly.
“May is a little nutty with so much testing and with all of the senior activities for the end of the year, but our staff and students do a great job of adapting to the schedule,” Greenwald said. “[This month] gives staff the opportunity to pursue additional topics of interest with their classes.”
‘‘May is a little nutty with so much testing and

Comparable to a wildfire or a school-wide game of telephone, rumors in a crowded environment
like UAHS spread quickly. Whether the word is disseminated
unintentionally or with a malicious plan—through word of mouth or by a social networking site—it has a tendency to find its way to hundreds of students and often even the administration.
In mid-April 2013, a Twitter account under the name of “@UAConfessions” began asking its viewers to submit comments about other students that were then published anonymously on the social media website.
Although not the first of its type, since accounts such as “Dublin Confessions” have previously existed, the “UA Confessions” account received a strong reaction from the UAHS
administration. The administration contacted Twitter as well as several legal entities, and the account was shut down.
Assistant principal Andrew Theado explained some actions the school took in response to the posts on the Twitter account.
“We contacted the [Upper Arlington Police Department], Twitter [and] at one point we had the [Ohio] Attorney General’s office on the phone,” Theado said. “Our main objective was to get [the account] shut down so students [could] feel safe and be educated without all that unnecessary stress and anxiety.”
Twitter responded by shutting down the account.
According to Theado, the district does not monitor students’ Twitter
accounts, but investigates and responds if something on a social media site is disturbing the learning environment.
“We aren’t [online] watching what [students] are posting,” Theado said. “But we have to make sure that students aren’t being harassed and in this case they were.”
In spite of

the majority of the posts being allegedly false, Theado said the administration still felt that the learning environment was being disrupted by the situation.
“I’m assuming a lot of it was false...but parents and students contacted us and if it’s disrupting educational opportunities for students, [the administration] steps in,” Theado said.
Theado did not disclose the punishments that the students responsible for the creation of the account received or their respective names, but punishments for harrassment and bullying can include suspension, according to the UAHS Student Handbook.
Regardless of the origin of rumors or their means of spreading, the administration does not step in to stop them unless they realize the
educational process is being disrupted, according to Theado. With modern technology though, it can often take less than a day for a rumor to affect a significant portion of the school.
“From my understanding, the effect [of UA Confessions] was relatively immediate. The day of, in fact,” Theado said. “[Rumors] nowadays travel really quickly because of social media.”
In a voluntary survey conducted of about 150 UAHS students, it was found that over 90 percent of students had heard of the site and that almost 80 percent of students knew someone mentioned in a post.
While the school made announcements alerting parents and students about the UA Confessions site and the actions being taken, the survey found that most students had already heard about it through Twitter or their friends. Theado said the speed at which the rumor spread and its lasting presence on the internet worried the administration.
“A problem with things like this being said over social media... is on the web it is out there for more people to see and more people to read,” Theado said. “It is essentially everlasting and that is very concerning.”

Tanning TrendsSurvey shows students’ views on sun protection
Do you prefer how you look when tan compared to when you’re not?
What type of sunscreen do you use most often?
yes
nodoesn’t make a difference

With many of the summer months spent outside, sunblock is a crucial accessory to keep on hand to protect skin from harsh UV rays. However, many do
not properly use and re-apply sunscreen in the most beneficial ways, which results in harsh long-term consequences.
Senior Angela Bifsha believes that although attaining that summer “glow” may be desirable, the negative and lasting effects of tanning outweigh the satisfaction of a darker complexion.
There is no such thing as a “safe” tan, according to Web MD, and any prolonged sun exposure harms the skin as well as accelerates the skin’s aging process.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), premature aging, sometimes referred to as “photoaging,” is the result of unprotected UV exposure.
“The increase in skin pigment, called melanin, which causes the tan color change in your skin is a sign of damage,” according to the FDA website. “[Photoaging] takes the form of leathery, wrinkled skin, and dark spots.”
A serious drawback of sunbathing can include getting skin cancer, with stages that can range from minor to life-threatening.
The Skin Cancer Foundation’s website states that a person’s risk for melanoma–the most serious form of skin
Unsafe summer sun practices put some students at riskby anna-mariatHalassInos, ’14
9MAY 31, 2013
newscancer– doubles if a person has had five or more sunburns.
Although Bifsha doesn’t regularly apply sunscreen, she still believes that sunscreen is vital, especially in the summer.
“Even though I don’t really wear [sunscreen] that often (even though I should), I have seen the horrible side effects that the sun can have on skin with no [protection],” she said. “It’s so important to protect your skin against the harsh rays, especially in the summer.”
Applying sunscreen to sun-exposed skin is a way to prevent possible burning from the UV rays. Sunscreen contains a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) number, however, many do not know what this means.
“[SPF] refers to how much longer it takes you to sunburn while wearing that sunscreen, not to how much protection you’re getting,” according to Web MD. “For example, it should take 15 times longer for you to sunburn with an SPF 15 sunscreen than it would if you weren’t wearing any; with an SPF 30, it should take 30 times longer.”
Senior Greer Davis regularly applies sunscreen during the summertime because she believes there is no way of avoiding the sun.
“For the majority of my summer days, I will apply sunblock right over my [spray] tan, if I have one at the time, because the solution I use does not contain any SPFs,” Davis said. “I will normally apply a 30 SPF, which seems to be a good amount for me.”
Web MD states that using sunscreen may postpone getting a sunburn, however, it does not fully protect the skin.
“An SPF 30 screens out only a small percentage more UVB rays (97 percent) than an SPF 15 (93 percent), so higher SPF numbers do not indicate a proportionately higher amount of sunscreen strength,” the cite stated. “No sunscreen provides 100 percent protection.”
According to Web MD, when clouds cover the sun it may seem like sunscreen is unnecessary, however, clouds do not protect the skin from sun damage.
“According to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds and damage your skin,” their website stated.
Although sunscreen is essential, there is a low rate of regular sunscreen use among young adults. According to Web MD, only 37 percent of women ages 18-
29 and about 16 percent of men in that age group said they use sunscreen most of the time.
Eighteen percent of surveyed UA students said they never applied sunscreen unless the sun was strong and 15
percent never applied sunscreen unless they were already burnt.
Although Bifsha does not regularly apply sunscreen, she strives to use sunscreen on her face.
“I always try to put sunscreen on my face, although I don’t always
practice what I preach,” she said. “But I never put sunscreen on my body.”
Even though many do not use sunscreen often, some people, such as sophomore Anna
Grumman, wear a generous amount to protect their skin.
“I’ve always applied sunblock pretty liberally,” Grumman said. “If I’m out in the sun for a while,
I take extra caution and try to apply it every hour and a half or so, particularly to my face and
shoulders.”

When originally being asked to write for the prompt “What is one of your
favorite or most unique high school experiences/memories, and why is it so
special to you?” I had no idea what to write about. And to be honest, I still
really don’t know what to write about.
I could write about things that are super cliché like “how special it
was when I made varsity” or that “my senior prom was the best time
of my life, period, hands down.” But I don’t want to, and you’re not
going to make me.
Looking back over the last four years, yes I have changed a lot.
So I think that every memory I have made is special to whom
I am today. I know that is also super cliché and cheesy, but
don’t judge me because this reflection is bound to have a little
cheese ball in it. Over this milestone in my life, I just can’t
pick out one experience/memory. I will remember every
friend I made and every little accomplishment that made
me happy.
That could be just listening to gangster rap music with
my friends with the sun roof down in my swag of a car
(1997 Honda Accord), or getting the A on a test that I
really didn’t study for. And since I am a human, I also
do make mistakes. Some might say I make more
than the average person, but even though these
failures/mistakes seem awful at the time, I pushed
through them and they truly made me a stronger
person (once again cheesy).
If I had to give advice to anyone in high
school I would say make the most of it. Heck I
am almost graduating and going to college.
Take risks, and don’t let the haters hate.
Love you all, and keep it real.

Sometimes,friendship is as simple as passing
on a peanut butter sandwich. Most days last
winter, Emma Tsao would pass her wheat-
bread and jiff spread lunch on to Sam Gauer.
We, Sam and I, friends through cross country,
ran together after school. Those runs were
beautiful; I couldn’t tell you how many times
we got lost on the winding streets of South UA.
I swear there’s something about running, feet
pounding out on the pavement, which makes
conversation flow easier and longer. We would
just talk and run and then run some more.
We would always save those sandwiches.
And then when we came back from a long run
with our empty bellies and aching legs, that
sandwich was waiting. Without question, it
was torn exactly in half. We’d sit on the chilly
concrete steps outside the band room and eat
our halves, which had a way of tasting a little
better than a whole.
My favorite high school memories are those
things which have been shared over the course
of friendships. A peanut butter sandwich,
divided between the two of us. The AP
test care packages which I made for other
friends. And the surprise birthday presents
or get-well cards which have been dropped
at my doorstep—anonymous cupcake
deliveries. Sometimes it was just sharing
a moment in time, like when you just
happen to be with another Aerosmith
fan when Rag Doll comes on the radio.
You can both totally jam out.
It’s an accumulation of these little
moments which made high school truly
incredible. I’m glad to have had the
opportunity to share these past few years
with all of you.
Class of 2013
One of my favorite memories from high school was during the spring of my
freshman year when I went pond skimming at Mad River Mountain. It was an
impulse decision where I signed up last-minute, soon finding myself at the top of
the mountain looking down at a 100-foot-long pool of water. The gate attendant
asked for my name, and I could barely squeak out my first name before I realized
how tense I was about going down that mountain.
I looked down at my snowboard, and was told to go right ahead. I quickly
launched myself out of the gates before thinking twice. I could feel my heart beat
faster and faster as I gained speed and approached the pond. Before I knew it I
was gliding through the water as if I was on a wakeboard, was striving for the last
couple of feet, and ended up reaching the snow at the end of the pond. I threw up
my arms in excitement and ran right back up to the ski lift to give it another try.
Although I wasn’t as nervous the second time, I didn’t reach the end due to
lack of speed, and sunk right down to my waist in freezing water. This experience
taught me that in most cases, you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone
in order to gain new awesome experiences and find what you love.

What is your favorite high school memory? Jim Cantwell
“All the late nights I had due to procrastination”Class of 2013
Status Photo Place Life Event
Sometimes,friendship is as simple as passing
on a peanut butter sandwich. Most days last
winter, Emma Tsao would pass her wheat-
bread and jiff spread lunch on to Sam Gauer.
We, Sam and I, friends through cross country,
ran together after school. Those runs were
beautiful; I couldn’t tell you how many times
we got lost on the winding streets of South UA.
I swear there’s something about running, feet
pounding out on the pavement, which makes
conversation flow easier and longer. We would
just talk and run and then run some more.
We would always save those sandwiches.
And then when we came back from a long run
with our empty bellies and aching legs, that
sandwich was waiting. Without question, it
was torn exactly in half. We’d sit on the chilly
concrete steps outside the band room and eat
our halves, which had a way of tasting a little
better than a whole.
My favorite high school memories are those
things which have been shared over the course
of friendships. A peanut butter sandwich,
divided between the two of us. The AP
test care packages which I made for other
friends. And the surprise birthday presents
or get-well cards which have been dropped
at my doorstep—anonymous cupcake
deliveries. Sometimes it was just sharing
a moment in time, like when you just
happen to be with another Aerosmith
fan when Rag Doll comes on the radio.
You can both totally jam out.
It’s an accumulation of these little
moments which made high school truly
incredible. I’m glad to have had the
opportunity to share these past few years
with all of you.

One of my favorite memories from high school was during the spring of my
freshman year when I went pond skimming at Mad River Mountain. It was an
impulse decision where I signed up last-minute, soon finding myself at the top of
the mountain looking down at a 100-foot-long pool of water. The gate attendant
asked for my name, and I could barely squeak out my first name before I realized
how tense I was about going down that mountain.
I looked down at my snowboard, and was told to go right ahead. I quickly
launched myself out of the gates before thinking twice. I could feel my heart beat
faster and faster as I gained speed and approached the pond. Before I knew it I
was gliding through the water as if I was on a wakeboard, was striving for the last
couple of feet, and ended up reaching the snow at the end of the pond. I threw up
my arms in excitement and ran right back up to the ski lift to give it another try.
Although I wasn’t as nervous the second time, I didn’t reach the end due to
lack of speed, and sunk right down to my waist in freezing water. This experience
taught me that in most cases, you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone
in order to gain new awesome experiences and find what you love.

Status Photo Place Life Event When I first arrived at Upper Arlington High School, I had no idea what to do.
Everyone already looked up to me, I already knew everything, and I have always
been ruggedly handsome. I thought that there was nothing else to worry about.
But one of the two things I have learned from high school is that I can always
get more disciples, become even smarter, and despite all logic, look even better.
These things are effortless for me. But the other thing I learned is pity. I cannot tell a lie; before UAHS, I never
cared enough about the feelings of others. In the spirit of trying new things, I
decided to start looking into the eyes of the inferior, and there were many more
scroungers around me than I had ever encountered before. Peering only briefly
into their sad souls stirred something in me that I had never felt before: mercy
and compassion. It was a shocking and humbling experience.
The more I observed the weak people around me, the more it all made sense to
me: I had always wondered why lesser folks existed, but after only a few days in
the high school, I finally understood that they were here to give me some crucial
perspective in life. All of the simpletons bumbling in my shadow have allowed me
to better appreciate my position as a leader and modern Renaissance man.
I am grateful for their presence because without it, I could never have known
how lucky I am (although my status is mostly because of skill). For four years, the
sorry, inadequate people churning about in the hallways have served as reminders
of my prestige and bastions of my sympathetic nature. For this, I am eternally
grateful. I am so blessed. Thank you, Bears.

What is your favorite high school memory? Renee Brocker
“Traveling to Europe with my Girl Scout troop.”
Class of 2013
It was sophomore year and Will Berg and I were walking to our eighth period
class that just so happened to be Sports for Life. We had just walked by the
Little Theatre and were talking about some trivial topic when we heard a voice
over the intercom. I don’t really know what [former principal Kip] Greenhill
said but it was something along the lines of “The school is going into
lockdown ... blah blah blah ... Go to the nearest classroom immediately.”
My first thought was not to panic but rather disappointment because
I really wanted to participate in an exciting game of dodgeball. I glance
at Berg who glanced back, and I believe we both smiled at each other
for some reason. [Theatre teacher Greg] Varner frantically beckoned
to us to enter the Little Theatre. We casually strolled towards the
Little Theatre, not really taking the lockdown seriously. Ordinarily
if the school was in a lockdown I would have been scared, but I had
noticed some key things that kept me calm.
First of all, Mr. Greenhill did not sound that urgent over the
intercom. Secondly, I was thinking that if there was a major
threat, such as a guy with a gun in the school, then I feel
like I would have seen more panic earlier, because I had
just recently walked by the Learning Center, attendance
office, and main office and I had not observed anything
out of the ordinary. Anyways, Bergy boy and I sat down
in the little room in the Little Theatre without much of
a fuss. We were not allowed to talk really but everyone
was whispering and no one seemed that worried
about this lockdown, even though it was not a drill.
Looking back on it I probably should have been
more upset about what was going on, but I was just
hoping that I was still going to get to leave school
at 3:05. Turns out some guy robbed Graeter’s and
he looked like he was heading towards the high
school. I am extremely thankful that nothing
worse happened, but that it was a rather, for
lack of a better word, chill lockdown. This story
is not that exciting or interesting, but I find it
to be unique in the sense that I hopefully will
never have that experience again.

Status Photo Place Life Event Easily one of my favorite memories of high school has to be the Class of
2013 parking prank on Brandon Road. Everyone got there so early to park his
or her car. We all brought our breakfast and coffee waiting for people to show
up while sitting in lawn chairs. As the sophomores started to arrive, they had no idea what was going on
and were all so confused. The seniors were jealous that us juniors had pulled
off a prank and a good one, too. Everyone knows it’s a special thing to be a part of the Class of 2013. From
the student section at sporting events, senior tag, dances, and even school,
it’s been great fun. We’ve become a close-knit unit over the past four years
and have had a handful of memorable times together.
I know many of my classmates are going on to some pretty exciting places
next year, and it will be interesting to watch what becomes of the Class of
2013 in the future.

I love Speedway slushees. I love everything about them. I
love how on a hot summer day the syrup drains to the bottom
and you can slurp up all the goodness in one gulp. I love how
you can layer the flavors to create a unique work of art (if you
show Fred, the old guy, he’ll pretend to be impressed). I even
love when your throat gets irritated and you have to cough
when you drink one too fast. Some people go so far to say
that I’m addicted. (I probably am.)
Naturally, one of my most memorable high school
experiences involves a slushee. I went with Maddie
Mischler to homecoming my senior year and immediately
after we left the dance I told her “Yo Misch, we gotta
make a quick run to Speedway. I need a slushee
pronto.” For some reason she was OK with that. We drove to
Speedway to get the goods and everything seemed
to be going swimmingly. Then, much to my dismay,
I realized that I had locked my keys inside the car!
I guess I was a little wiped out from the dance and
a little nervous being around my date and a little
too excited for my slushee.
We had to walk back to my house in the cold
and then Maddie had to wait for 20 minutes
while I ran back to Speedway with the other
set of keys to get the car. I still feel awful and
it’s probably one of the most embarrassing
things that I’ve done. I think she’s still a little
ticked about the whole ordeal.

Class of 2013
Status Photo Place Life Event I think Dickens hit the nail on the head: It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness— it was
high school. While many deem it the bane of existence, a cesspool of despair
and monotony and sheer awkwardness, others regard it as the pinnacle of youth
and happiness: their prime. And then, of course, there are those in between—the
ambivalent few—caught somewhere amid the angst-driven “I hate everyone”
folk and the sperry-sporting “don’t make me leave the bubble” type. This happy
medium—this middle ground of sorts—is where I fit in: sad yet ecstatic, terrified
yet eager, completely and utterly clueless.
So when asked my favorite memory, my mind immediately jumped from
Scotland to Caribou to my job— all solid options, all worth a paragraph or two. My
mind even grazed over the ever-easy, ever-obnoxious route: the “I can’t choose
a favorite memory because they’re all my favorite!” option. But when I actually
started thinking, I realized that each of these experiences—though certainly
unique in their own right—would be somehow lacking, somehow incomplete
without the people involved. And I know you’re probably gagging as you read this,
judging me beyond measure for my oh-so-cliché, oh-so-canned response. But
bear with me, and take Caribou as an example:
“The Bou” without Barista Bernard and his notorious facial hair, without Barista
Mike (and his notorious biceps <3), without friends with whom to do (or not do)
work, was just another coffee shop—just another dimly-lit, overpriced, teen-
infested venue. While yes, I’ll remember it for the drinks, for the “hip ‘n’ kewl”
music, and for the INSANELY cold toilet seats, these memories will fizzle and
fade in a matter of weeks, months, years, centuries, etc. But the metaphysical
Caribou—that intrinsic, intangible feeling of community it inspired—will linger in
my mind like no other: I will remember it for the people.
And so as we seniors graduate, many of us are beyond tempted to peace
out and never look back. But even as our grad caps descend from their
quintessential flight, even as we depart from Vet’s with diplomas in hand,
we must savor, we must remember one another: the brief but nevertheless
important parts we played.

On July 31, Emilie Greenwald bid farewell to beloved principal Kip Greenhill and prepared to take over
the position herself. The warm summer day was an emotional one for them both, as Greenhill said goodbye to the school that had made such an impact on him for 17 years.
Days later, on Aug. 21, Emilie Greenwald walked the halls of UAHS as principal. When I met with Greenwald in September, excitement about her new position filled the discussion. Nine months later, as final exams approach and graduation invitations arrive, Greenwald prepares to graduate the class of 2013 as well as wrap up her first and only school year as principal.
On May 20 Greenwald announced her resignation from the position as principal and her promotion to the district’s Chief Academic Officer.
“Although leaving the high school is bittersweet, I look forward to continuing to serve this community in my new role,” she wrote in an e-mail to parents. “It has been my pleasure to get to know the students, parents, and staff and to be part of this committed, engaging community of learners.”
Greenwald took a moment to review her year as the principal and why it meant so much.
• • •Q: How did the reality of this year compare to your expectations going in?Greenwald: I don’t think I slept at all over the summer from being nervous about the fall. I think I was so nervous before everyone got here, [but] once everyone got here we just got up and running. I think I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that people have been so kind, so gracious. They have been very, very good to me, both the staff and the students and families. It has made doing the job very doable.Q: What changes have you made that you believe have been beneficial to the school?
EMILIE GREENWALD
YEAR IN REVIEW
Nine months after meeting with arlingtonian’s Grace Moody to discuss her hopes for the year, first-year principal Emilie Greenwald reflects on the year

Although leaving the high school is bittersweet, I look forward to continuing to serve this community in my new role… It has been my pleasure to get to know the students, parents, and staff and to be part of this committed, engaging community of learners.”
Principal emilie Greenwald
“Greenwald: I do think the morning announcements have been good because we used to have them on the TVs and then that stopped working and so kids didn’t know when things were happening and it was hard. We would hear a lot from families about when is this going on and when is that going on. So we’ve really tried to communicate better with families, so I think that’s good. And those attendance calls are another thing; it’s communication with families. I don’t think we have had any other huge changes that students would notice. I also think the morning announcements have been a good way for kids to get involved in clubs. That’s been huge because every day we announce what clubs are going on; we also announce what sporting events are going on and different activities so that kids can go to things. And that’s another thing that’s been big; I’ve seen kids showing up to some things and supporting each other, so that’s good too, to communicate better with families, so I think that’s good.Q: What were your thoughts about following in former principal Kip Greenhill’s footsteps?Greenwald: Kip and I talked a lot about that because when I was hired here seven years ago he was always saying to me, ‘When you become principal think about this type of thing, you’re going to need to do this, try this.’ His last day was July 31. That was a very, very hard day, and he and I sat down and he cried and I cried and we talked about me forging my own path. He said to me, ‘Don’t try to be Kip Greenhill; you have to do your own thing.’ And that was the best thing anybody could have ever said to me. I really have tried to do things the way I think I need to do them and sometimes that is the way he would have responded to things, but other times it’s not. It is hard to follow a legend but I think people have been very accepting of me and
who I am and how I do things, and it’s made following that legend a lot easier.Q: What goals have you achieved during your year as principal?Greenwald: I think we have addressed safety this year, mainly because it came up. That would not have been on our radar, but we realized it was something we had to address, so we addressed that. One of the other things we did this year that I’ve been pleased about is offering a couple of evening parent meetings. One of them was on safety and one of them was on drug and alcohol use; I think those were important. The other thing that I think is important is maintaining the friendly culture of the building for students and I think we’ve done that. And I will say students were paranoid at the beginning of the school year and I heard it a lot, that they were nervous about things changing and them not having a lot of the freedoms that they enjoy. But I think we’ve really maintained the culture of the building.Q: Regarding the failure of the levy, what were the difficulties that came with laying off some teachers?Greenwald: I think that was probably the hardest day I have had here in the seven years I’ve been here because I had to sit across from wonderful, talented teachers and tell them that through no fault of their own, they don’t have a job. And I don’t think anything can prepare you for that, whether it’s your first year or your last year. It wouldn’t have mattered if I had been a principal for 10 years or one year; it was just a hard, hard day. If there’s a little glimmer of hope it’s that some of them have started getting jobs elsewhere, and so I’m happy that people are starting to hire these great teachers and that they can continue to teach. Q: What have you seen throughout the student body that has made you proud to be the principal of UAHS?
Greenwald: I attended the state swim meet and both of our teams were runners-up and were amazing. One of the things that made me so proud was when we heard from the families at the schools who were the state champions that our kids were standing there congratulating their kids, the ones who went up to the podiums to take first place. That, to me, speaks so much about who our kids are and the type of people we are here at UA. Q: What are your thoughts about graduating the class of 2013 in just a few short days?Greenwald: This senior class will be very, very special to me ... These seniors have been amazing; they are a great senior class. Every year we have great classes come through; we are very, very fortunate. This group of seniors has really embraced me. They went through for three years with Mr. Greenhill, and it could have been hard for them—they could have been really missing him—and instead they have been wonderful to me. And so it’s going to be hard. I think I will get pretty emotional at graduation.Q: What are your biggest hopes for the staff, the student body, and the class of 2013?Greenwald: I’m hoping we have a strong end to the school year and that our kids leave feeling like they really gained a lot, learned a lot, and that this was a good experience for them and they have fun memories of high school. I hope they’re well prepared for college, which, [I think] they are. I’m hoping our staff feels good about the year; I think it’s hard for them because of the cuts we had to make and the changes that are coming for them next year, not just from the district, but from the state level. So I’m hoping that as a staff, we can feel like we have done the best we could.

IRON MAN 3
With summer coming soon, students comment before and after seeing new films
by kariHIgHman, ’13 and davidstRIecHeR, ‘13
F. scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel returns to the big screen in this fifth film adaptation directed by baz luhrmann. the film retells the classic tale of drama and secrets surrounding the mysterious and eccentric jay gatsby in 1920s new york.
based on the 1897 novel of the same name, What Maisie Knew is a heartstring-pulling drama about a young girl thrown into the adult world when she has to adapt to her
parents divorce.
Marvel’s latest installment of the Iron Man series brings audiences back to the world of tony stark (robert downey jr.) as he battles both a new foe and a growing obsession with his
superhero identity.
“i'm excited to see tobey Maguire [who plays nick carraway] in something other than spiderman. it will be interesting for him to play a different character. i'm excited to see leonardo dicaprio as gatsby. “
“tobey Maguire and leonardo dicaprio were both outstanding. it seemed very modernized, but maybe that’s just because there was current music in a movie set in the 1920s. as the movie went on, i got used to it and ended up enjoying the modern twist.”
senior amy morley
“the period drama seems very appealing to lots of people right now. they are a great form of escapism for a lot of people. it will certainly be interesting to see in what direction [baz luhrmann] takes the film.”
Junior emily walker
“i’d recommend this movie to anyone who’s looking for two hours of solid entertainment. even though i knew the soundtrack was going to incorporate modern music, i was a little shocked by how well the old and new elements were blended together in the movie.”
“it’s an amazing story. i was so impressed by the fact that the little girl understood things in the adult world. i loved the plot, the characters, and [i] enjoyed seeing how each scene fit together. [it was so good], i hope to see it again.”
“i’m [looking forward to] seeing both julianne Moore and [onata aprile], because they are supposed to have great roles and performances.”
senior lucia chung
“i thought overall this movie was good and i would recommend it to others. i loved how the storyline was played out on screen. i think that people can definitely relate to it. the thing that stood out to me the most was aprile’s performance-so much talent there.”
“i’m expecting Maisie’s life to be changed by the events between her parents divorcing and having a stepmom and step dad. [From the trailers], i expect to see a big family dynamic.”

“i’m interested to see if rodey (don cheadle) takes a bigger leap with his role [than in iron Man 2]. i’m also interested in seeing ben Kingsley play the Mandarin.”
“i was really surprised by what they did with the Mandarin’s character, and i [absolutely] hated it. [i am familiar] with some comics, and i understand the original Mandarin’s backstory a bit. his original story is much more complicated [than in the movie].”
“From the trailers i am already excited about the ‘fall from grace’ storyline that seems to be the focus of the [third] movie. i’m also excited to see [what ben Kingsley]
brings to this trilogy.”
“i was very impressed. For a movie where the hero was without his ‘powers’ for two-thirds of the movie i stayed interested the whole time. in a world of spoilers, i wasn’t expecting it at all. the ‘stealing the show’ award goes to ben Kingsley.”

REWIND2012
-2013
Upper Arlington graduate Abby
Johnston won a silver medal on
Jul. 29, 2012 for the women’s 3-meter
springboard synchronized diving
competition in the London 2012
Summer Olympics.
Jocelyn Smallwood, a 2008 graduate of UAHS, became the first African American woman to dot the ‘i’ at an OSU football game and the first woman to dot the ‘i’ at a Michigan game on Nov. 24, 2012. The 2012 season for the Buckeyes was full of other firsts, too, most notably the addition of Urban Meyer as head coach.
Nov. 6, 2012 brought about another presidential election, with
incumbent Barack Obama pitted against Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts. But other issues and races also hit home for many UA residents, as former UA teacher Maureen Reedy ran for the Ohio House of Representatives, and the UA school district had a levy on the ballot. As result came in,
Obama defeated Romney, Stephanie Kunze defeated Reedy and the UASD levy failed.
On Nov. 29, Barrington
Elementary School teacher Megan
Fedorko suddenly passed away at her
home. She was a third grade
teacher who was loved by many
and is missed by all who knew
her. She was married and had a
daughter and a son.
Tragedy brought the nation together in 2012 as two of the nation’s worst incidents of gun violence tore through the hearts of Americans. The first, a mass shooting at a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, killed 12 people
on July 20. The second resulted in the deaths of 27 students and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut Dec. 14.

After the movie 2012 came out,
the public had been concerned
about the world ending on Dec. 21,

The world goes on.
U pper Arlington High School’s music department debuted its 10th anniversary production of Les Miserables on Feb. 21.
In the wake of a failed and now
recovering economy, budgets
are tight on everyone and UA schools
saw those effects this past election.
When the levy failed, the district had to
cut over 20 teachers and the school will
be on a strict budget for the next few
years, hoping that the next levy passes.
Throughout the year, seniors Kevin King, Liam Kirkpatrick, Kevin
Murray, and Matt Stephan form the band Midnight Coast, have been writing music, recording their songs to produce a CD, and playing at small gigs. As a result they were able to record and produce their own CD, which can be found on iTunes. In March, they got the opportunity to play at Newport Music Hall, and had a large turnout, selling
more than 100 tickets.
A t 2:50 in the afternoon on April 15, the annual Boston Marathon was brought to an abrupt halt when two bombs went off at the finish line, killing three and injuring over 200 people. After thorough investigation, they tracked down Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and after gunfire and manhunts, Tamerlan was pronounced dead while Dzhokhar was found bleeding and in critical condition in a boat in a stranger’s backyard.

as the days of May dwindle, the pool opens and graduation signs seem to be everywhere I look, I know
that summer has finally arrived. Although meaning stressful finals and end-of-the-year chaos for underclassmen, summer signifies just one thing for seniors: graduation.
The graduation of the class of 2013 will not be easy for me, as I will say goodbye to people who have made my high school days all the better. For me, the class of 2013 will primarily be missed through the graduation of 17 seniors on the Arlingtonian staff.
With a heavily senior staff, excitement about graduation has filled the conversations within the Arlingtonian room as we wrap up another year. When returning next fall to continue working, a quiet absence will occur without the seniors. The leadership and charismatic energy among them has made my first year on staff a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Other freshmen, sophomores and juniors, I’m sure, will be saddened by the loss of seniors from their own activities.
For athletes, the teams will strive to fulfill the morale that the graduating seniors seemed to take on so easily.
Through the many clubs and organizations in the community, seniors have played a large role in serving as leaders to the rest of the student body. From the three senior editors of the highly-acclaimed Norwester yearbook to the senior boys’ and girls’ water polo captains who led their teams to state championships, the successes of the seniors could go on and on. Whether through a sports captain, link crew leader or senior friend, the class of 2013 has had a significant impact on our lives as UA Golden Bears.
Regarding the current seniors, we have a lot to live up to. For me, it will especially be seen with following in the footsteps
of current Arlingtonian Editor-in-Chief Kate Magill, who has led the Arlingtonian staff throughout its 76th year. Although
I’m honored to continue the tradition, taking over the position that Kate seemed to manage with such ease will be no easy task.
As difficult as it is to see the senior class leave, UAHS will continue to strive for excellence, now under the leadership of the class of 2014. Sure, the hallways will dwindle with the absence of the seniors, but the excellent morale of the student body will never leave.
The seniors have left their mark and I wish them all the best as they bring what they have learned from UA to their new destinations, adventures and friendships. Looking forward to next year, we juniors have some large shoes to fill. So class of 2014: Get ready . We’re next!
Arlingtonian seniors and Class of 2013 will be missed

To all of you future sorority girls who believe the email from rebecca Martison was a joke, hold onto
your polo hats because it looks like your future college events might not guarantee a good time. From the looks of rebecca Martison at the university of Maryland, these sorority sisters are raging. literally.
it’s not all starbucks and snapchat at the delta gamma house in college park, Maryland. the sorority chapter got its fair share of hate mail after Martison wrote a nasty letter to her sorority sisters due to what she called some “not so great partying”.
although most of us are “obvi” intending to someday foster relationships in the greek community like our mothers and fathers
did at their respective alma maters, i advise everyone to watch out for crazy social chairs such as Martison. not only did her
lengthy letter threaten the girls in her sorority, at times calling them “mentally ill” and “stupid,” this headstrong prepster made certain she was getting things done by showing the girls in her sorority how “badly they sucked.”
“Frats don’t like boring sororities. oh wait, double [expletive] newsflash: sigma nu is not going to want to hang out with us if we [expletive] suck, which by the way in case
you’re an idiot and need it spelled out for you, we [expletive] suck so far,” she wrote.
Martison gives us some situational examples in her letter where delta gamma
didn’t exactly bring their a game, like when interacting with sigma nu during a kickball tournament over greek week. it’s no surprise that this greatly upsets Martison in her vulgar letter, resulting in her subsequent removal from delta gamma.
i know many of us ohio state football fans can become enraged at a bad call, but really? the strides for sudan walk-a-thon is probably just about as competitive as this sorority kickball game, it’s no reason to get your lilly pulitzer in a bundle.
this makes the anonymous tumblr blog “what should ua call Me?” from 2012 look like a saint. i would most certainly rather have a cartoon gif describe me at my worst than viral hate mail in my inbox from this crazy sorority chick.
so ua prospective rushers, before you monogram those “special letters” on everything you own, recognize what the years ahead hold for you and remember to avoid “the rebeccas.”

Crossing the pond“Where are you going to college
next year?”this question has been posed
to me at least 5,000 times between september and May of my senior year. For the first few months, hearing this made me squirm with anxiety when i was forced to respond with a generic, “oh, i’m not quite sure yet.” i thought maybe once i figured out a legitimate answer, people’s curiosity would be satisfied. however, as it turns out when you respond with “the university of st. andrews,” you quickly become entangled in a game of 20 questions.
so for those of you who haven’t yet recieved the memo, i’ve compiled a FaQ that answers the most common questions i’ve been asked over the past months.
. . .
Q: where is st. andrews?
a : it’s located in st. andrews, scotland on the coast of the north sea.
Q: so you’re leaving the country for college? I didn’t know you could do that.
a : i didn’t know you could either until a few months ago when my scottish exchange student was considering applying to ohio state. i looked at what universities were in scotland and discovered that i could get a standard four-year-degree overseas just like i would at any u.s. school. i won’t be the first ua student to head across the pond. leah johnston (class of 2009) and abe lucey (class of 2010) also chose to attend st. andrews. it’s become common enough that a representative from the school is actually scheduled to come to uahs in september.
Q: How did you even apply for an international school?
a : applying couldn’t have been easier. st. andrews was actually on the common application. the only extra thing i needed to do was complete a supplemental essay and enter my passport number.
Q: Isn’t that where england’s royal couple will and Kate met?
a : yes, they’re probably the two most famous recent graduates. but no, i can’t say i picked this school with any intention of marrying a duke.
Q: Is this affiliated with the st. andrews golf course?
a : yeah it is. st. andrews is the site of the celebrated “old course.” i don’t actually play golf, but i have a slew of family members who are currently planning to “visit me” as soon as they get their golf handicap at an acceptable level.
Q: How are you getting all your stuff over there?
a : good question i have no clue how to go about packing a semester’s worth of stuff into a suitcase, carry-on, and a personal item—but i’m open to suggestions.
Q: why study overseas?
a : well, there’s a number a reasons i chose st. andrews. studying abroad has always been something i’ve wanted to do. rather than trying to carve a semester out of my busy schedule in college for a program, going to st. andrews allows me to spend all four of my years completely immersed in another culture.
another factor for me was the level of prestige this school had. it’s generally ranked just below cambridge in oxford in the u.K. and is scotland’s oldest university. st. andrews will be celebrating its 600th anniversary this year, making it the third oldest university in the english-speaking world. For me, there’s something unbelievably cool about going to a school that has traditions originating several centuries before the founding of my home country. as an added bonus, the cost of going to school abroad was nearly identical to the cost of going to an out-of-state public school in america.
. . .hopefully this answers most everyone’s
questions, although i’m sure for some this only created new ones. even i still have about a thousand worries that won’t be resolved until i move into my residence hall on sept. 9. with any luck, by then i can answer the biggest question of whether right for choosing to go so far away for school with a resounding ”yes”.

I t’s the finale— the class of 2013 has reached its curtain call and it seems everybody is ready to take a bow.
as seniors peruse this last installment of Arlingtonian, no question graduation is on their minds. and today, when the bell rings at 3:05, and the papers fly into the air and the shouts and laughter mingle together, seniors are going to believe that after our june 9 graduation, they will be through with ua once and for all, existing now as mere ua alumni from the class of 2013. yet students may not realize that there is one more “last” left: senior summer. as we go onto college, jobs and a life away from the people we’ve grown to know over the past four years, the reality of these upcoming few months of summer takes on a new significance. with the end of this summer of 2013
comes the start of the next four years— in different colleges, in different states and even continents (cassie lowery we’re looking at you). so make the most of the little time left. as cliché as it sounds, the truth is there will never be a time like the here-and-now. and this does not just apply to the graduating senior class; the high school years go by fast. the next graduation that some seniors can expect is that of college and after college comes a whole new life— one possibly including a family and career. that is where we are all heading and for some that is an exciting concept while for others, it is frightening. so although the future seems to beckon unrelentlessly, this summer take time to appreciate your friends, your family and the experiences you will want to remember for the years to come.
what will you miss most about the class of 2013?
what do you think principal emilie greenwald did best during her first year as principal?
what summer festivals do you usually attend and why do you like them?“I usually go to the st. andrews festival, which I like because lots of people go so I see all my friends. I’ve also always wanted to go to comFest.”
Junior Kara Sturtz
“the class of 2013 are great leaders and set good examples. I’ll also miss andrew whitcomb’s older sister gabrielle.”
Sophomore Cole Abbott
“I have lots of friends who will be graduating this year, so I’ll miss seeing them and their friendships.”
Sophomore Peyton Warner
“ms. greenwald is good at connecting with students and she’s very friendly. I love her shoes and her fab outfits, and she owns it when she walks into a room.”

June 9. this date has loomed over my fellow seniors and me as we
have struggled through college decisions, capstone presentations and a.p. tests. now that we are finally within sight of our long awaited graduation day, i am filled with mixed emotions. excited and proud to be graduating from high school, sad to leave teachers and friends who have inspired me and nervous for what the next four years hold. uahs has been a wonderful place to learn, and has given my classmates and me endless opportunities to grow not only as students but as individuals.
one of these opportunities that has proven to be the most rewarding for me has been working on Arlingtonian. i am so proud to say that i am part of such a talented staff, one that produces stories that are professional, controversial, at times heartbreaking and enlightening. our staff worked tirelessly throughout the year to research and report on the stories that we believed our audience would enjoy reading, as well as topics of which we felt students needed to be aware.
while reading about, discussing, and covering these news events throughout the
year, i, like so many others, was struck by the kindness and compassion that poured out of the tragedies of the last few months.
it is these people, people who i find not only in the headlines of newspapers and as trending topics on twitter, but within my daily life, who help to showcase the best the world has to offer, despite the adversity we face. and for me, that is my senior reflection. to see the good in the bad, and to remember that the good is
what should prevail not just in times of strife, but always. not only in moments of grief, but in times of happiness and joy, we should see and be the forces of good that we love.
so that is what i leave as my final thought as a senior- be kind to one another. as we walk aross the stage at vets Memorial, remember to use these experiences from the last four years to find the good and help to propel it forward.
i hope you’ve enjoyed every issue! KateMagill

Editor advises fellow classmates to “be the forces of good”
Arlingtonian is a student-produced newsmagazine published approximately every four weeks by Journalism III-A students at Upper Arlington High School. The publication has been estab-lished as a public forum for student ex-pression and for the discussion of issues of concern to its audience. It will not be reviewed or restrained by school officials prior to publication or distribution.
Since Arlingtonian is a forum for student expression, the editorial board, which consists of the staff ’s top editors, will determine the content of the news-magazine and all unsigned editorials; therefore, material may not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of Upper Arlington school officials.
Arlingtonian welcomes letters to the editor, guest columns and news releases from faculty, administrators, community residents, students and the general public. The Arlingtonian editorial board reserves the right to withhold a letter or column and return it for more information if it
determines the piece contains items of un-protected speech as defined by this policy.
As a public forum, all letters and columns meeting the above criteria will be posted in full on the Arlingtonian web site at www.arlingtonian.com for a minimum of four weeks. Arlingtonian and its staff will strive to publish only legally protected speech following the legal definitions for libel, obscenity and invasion of privacy.
The staff will also refrain from print-ing stories that create a material disrup-tion of school activities. Because the Arlingtonian staff will determine content of the publication, it will therefore also take complete legal and financial responsibility for what is printed. Arlingtonian will not avoid publishing a story solely on the basis of possible dissent or controversy.
The Arlingtonian staff raises and pays all printing and production costs through advertising sales, donations and other fundraisers.
The editor or co-editors shall interpret and enforce this editorial policy.
