school parking lot. The painting of the bus
was a project in which all the art classes
contributed. "The idea to make the bus
foresty and green came from the theme of the
day: sustainability. The intent was to give the
bus have a new purpose that could be tied
back to the meaning of the theme," said
Cecilia. Photo: Candyce Sturgeon

everything they served was made with
potatoes. "We served French fries, potato
chips, and mashed potatoes. It was a lot of fun
using the friers; we even tried to fry mashed
potatoes. Our stand was pretty unique. We
wanted to honor the humble potato," said Lily.

j Cassidy Kreber (12) and Ceci Kammire (12) attended
LoUapaloozci, an annual music festival highlighting popular

alternative rock, heavy metal, punk rock, hip-hop and EDM bands.
The music festival can have anywhere from 60-70 artists performing

over a 4 day period. The genres vary so there is a performance to
please everyone. Around 175,000 people w ^ e in attendance at any
given moment. "I have never been more excited than the moment
when J. Cole brought out Chance the Rapper during his set," said

Cassidy. J. Cole was one of the many modem, popuilar artists
present at the music festival. J. Cole is one of Cassidy's favorite
artists, so seeing him perform was one of the highlights of the
festival for her. The girls also enjoyed being there together. ”I like
how everyone was like one big happy family," said Ceci. This was
Cassidy's second year going to the music festival in Chicago. As
well as attending Lollapalooza, the pair al.so got a chance to explore

the windy city of Chicago together.

After many months of Ckonging of fke
anticipation, Mrs. Tracy Shaw
was officially named the new

principal of Bishop
McGuinness at the end of the
2015-16 school year. Her first
full year as principal began
with excitement as she paved
the way for positive change.

oAAoiin' on up, Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Rad converse with
Mrs. Stoller during their lunch duty. With Mrs. Shaw
moving up to become Principal, that left her Assistant
Principal position open to be filled. Shortly before
school began in the fall, another big announcement was
made to the Bishop McGuinness community. "Mr. Rad
and I share the same philosophy with regard to
education, and especially Catholic education. Mr. Rad
also shares my vision for Bishop McGuinness, and I
thought he would be a great addition to the
administrative team!" said Mrs. Shaw.

'tJ:langinq out, Mr. Rad could be found floating around
the building most days, in and out of classrooms,
subbing for teachers, testing out technology, and
talking with students. If you looked hard enough, you
may have even found him in some very unlikely places!

Qhlj to a nood sta/it. It's all about teamwork, and that's
exactly what Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Rad depend on
every day. The two share a photo op on the first day of
school with counselors Mrs. Gehling and Mrs.

day is knowing I work in the greatest school with the
most amazing people: students, faculty, and staff It's
good to be a Villain!" said Mrs. Shaw.

Generating Interest

ComeJoin us, At the beginning of the
year, Bishop holds a club fair so that
students interested in joining clubs can
sign up. The students in charge of clubs
make posters and sign up sheets. The
club fair was a really great opportunity
to showcase your club and get new
members to join. "Hosting the Model
UN booth is always fun because we get
a lot of interest from new freshmen
who participated in the camp and

^Itystcs ^uit, Will Ladka, (12) laughs among his fellow bridge-makers.
"This was a fun project that was still very challenging," said Will. Mr.
Pruedhomme made sure that all of the students had a very happy bridge day!

Senio/t bftidges faffing dom, Jeannie Egan, (12) proudly holds up her
bridge. "The project was creative and cool and my bridge totally failed," said
Jeannie, The seniors, including Jeannie, came up with their best designs for
the sturdiest bridge possible. Some held up better than others!

W haT s The

Physics teacher, Mr. Pruedhomme, has
been doing the bridge project for many
years, challenging students and making

sure they are learning in fun and
creative ways. Students had to create a
bridge using only popsicle sticks and

glue. They were limited to only 100
sticks, and the bridges could not weigh
more than 200 grams. To measure how
much weight the bridges could take, a
scissor jack was placed on the center of
the bridge using blocks. The goal was
to have the bridge that withstood the

most weight. Some of the students
managed to stand on their bridges

without them breaking!

T)ero/iOtiOli is fcey. Natalie Hamlet, (12)
marks her popsicle stick bridge. "The

project was really stressful, but it was a lot
of fun to build. Testing them in front of the
class made me nervous, but it was fun to see
everyone’s bridges," said Natalie. All of the

hard-working physics students put lots of
time and effort into creating a sturdy bridge.

te’sts out how much w' eight he can put on his

bridge. "It was a very tedious project, but
after all the work was put in, it felt really
good to crush it," said Patrick Lancaster.
The class put as much weight as they could
on their bridge to see how much it could

withstand before crumbling.

at the Harbor workshop, so Student Council made it their mission

to create a happier environment for Bishop.

The Jostens Harbor Workshop
influenced the way student leaders at
Bishop approached each day through a
motivational lecture that helped them

see what is truly important.

Student Council and Peer Ministry took a field trip to
the Jostens Harbor Workshop that was held at Northern

Guilford High School. They were inspired to dialogue
about ways to increase school climate and positivity.

"The workshop was a truly inspirational program," said
Luke Kreber (10). It was moderated by Mike Smith,
who started the program hoping to spark positive
change in student leaders.

used the school printers often.

news.

workshop made me realize that I have an impact
on everyone I meet and that I want my impact to
be a good one. We all have the power to make this

a good one," said Kelly. Francis and Kelly became
really good friends on the field trip, and they both
share a love for helping others.

Where will they match?

Fall brought many new beginnings at Bishop and even some
new styles of dress. This year, one change that was made to
the Bishop McGuinness Dress Code Policy was the addition of
boots to the list of acceptable footwear. As the weather got
cooler, more and more students turned from sneakers to boots
as their "go-to" option on regular school days and jeans days.
Some other popular footwear included Converse, Wallabees,

!Vans, Uggs ... and the always dependable athletic shoe.

Every year on Election Day, the seniors are assigned to work at a polling place for a grade in their government class.
They passed out voter guides and held up signs for candidates on the ballots. This assignment was a great way for the
seniors to become familiar with the voting process. Some of the seniors were even old enough to vote in this election.
