THE COLUMNS

Volume 28, Issue 6

THE SENIOR ISSUE:

CLASS OF 2016


Here it is, the last issue of
the year of The Columns! As you
read through The Class of 2016s
answers to our questionnaire,
there are a few important trends
you should notice:
1) Cranberry chocolate chip
cookies still hold a special place
in our hearts
2) Mr. Braun will definitely be
missed
3) Chatham Hall has undoubtedly
become our home during the past
four years and changed us all in
countless ways.

It really is difficult to
think that in just a day, Ill be
leaving, and in a few months, Ill
be 865.1 miles away. The people
Ive met here are unlike anyone
else, and the place itself is magic.
Ive had some of my best and
worst times here, and Ive been
blessed to share them with all of

you. No matter where I go next or

what I decide to do with my life,
all these memories will remain
unforgettable.

Its just as hard to think of
what my life will be like without
Chatham Hall; even before I was
a student here, I knew I wanted to
come. But I guess thats because I
wont have tothis school will always be a part of my life, because
without it, there is no way that I
would be the person I am today.

People from home still
ask me why Im here and make
judgements about me because
I made this decision. This was
strange to me at first, but by now,
Ive grown used to it, and even
consider it to be something to be
proud of. Im the one who decided to go do something new, step
out of my comfort zone, and create a high school experience for

myself that Ill never forget. I did

this with the help of all of you, so
thank you.

There were plenty of days
when I wished I was anywhere
but here, but every time Id put
things into perspective, Id remind myself why Im here. Im
at Chatham Hall because I dont
know what Id do without these
people, who always find a way to
brighten my day and bring adventure into my life. Im here because
all of you, who have given me a
high school experience that is
different from what I may have
expected years ago, but wonderful
in all its own ways, and I wouldnt
have had it any other way.
Esto Perpetua.
