About the Contributors
Kathy Duan, Chief Copy Editor
When looking for Kathy Duan ('25) you will find her in three places: the library, her dorm, or the pool. If you catch Kathy in Fawcett Library, you might see her working as Chief Copy Editor, making the style guide accessible, taking on questions, and editing works to ensure they are accurate and match the feel of WCC. Just like she is passionate about the publication, you will find Kathy passionately studying for her Advanced Studies Fascism class, learning about political theory and ideology. She carries this excitement to Appleby, where she preps for an upcoming debate, which she will vigorously pursue. You will also see her binging her favorite show, The Good Place or watching anything to do with dystopia. Dipping into Webb pool, you find her passion there as well — spot Kathy swiftly weaving through the water and scoring goals from the half-distance line as Water Polo Captain. Kathy is excited to conclude her year at this publication as a head editor, writing opinion pieces, discussing politics, and sparking important conversations. She will dig deep into any story pushing through the surface level, excited to learn about new people, and ideas.

Bella Schnurer, Staff Writer
From outsmarting her friends on the chessboard to dreaming of opening a wildlife sanctuary, Bella Schnurer’s (‘27) world is a mix of strategy and creativity. Although she only started playing chess two years ago following a light-hearted competition with a friend quickly transformed into an earnest pursuit. Bella's dedication led her to a chess academy, where she trains regularly, determined to achieve a Woman FIDE Master title someday. Today, she balances her time between studying and volunteering at a non-profit chess organization, where she shares her love for the game by teaching others. Beyond the pawns, rooks and queens, Bella’s aspirations range from entrepreneurship to maintaining shelter for animals in Africa. With her sights set high and a love for learning and exploring, Bella has the spirit of a true strategist — always planning her next move. This year, she’s eager to bring her very own perspective and storytelling skills to the Webb Canyon Chronicle, capturing the interests and passions of her peers through her writing.
