^ust kidding, Erin

Silva (10) laughs as she
is told a joke by Adam
Lucek (10). "I enjoy
making jokes and
making people laugh."
said Adam. "It
brightens their day and
makes them feel good."
The acronym TMF was
coined by one of our
regular substitutes and
stands for "too much
fun." The sub could
regularly be heard
telling students "TMF!"
and everyone thought it
was funny enough to
keep it going
throughout the year.

Qtudg buddies, Luke

Kreber (10) and Ethan
Chase (10) are studying
during class while also
having a few laughs.
Group work in class was
the perfect opportunity
for students to socialize.

S i c k beats Max Merrill (10) listens to some music after 97
finishing his work in class. "I like listening to music in
school because it helps me relax and reset my mind," said
Max. Spotify was a popular music app for students.

(Jdap time, Ali Southard (11) takes a nap after finishing

her classwork. "I usually nap everyday after school but
sometimes I have to take another nap in school to get
through the day." Playing sports, extra-curricular
activities, and homework drained students of their energy.

Students reminisce about their favorite childhood toys and items.

"I Started playing the ukulele because I wanted to learn
to play guitar, but I wanted to start small. I started
playing in the eighth grade as a little unit we were
learning in school and I loved it ever since. Playing
reminds me of my childhood because 1was obsessed
with Lila & Stitch when I was younger and the movie
took place in Hawaii where the ukulele originated,"
said Anya Laplanche-Dixon (11).

"This pillow case is special to me because I
made it with my preschool friends. In the
middle it says 'Now 1lay me down to sleep. I'll
count these hands instead of sheep, and I'll
recall the friends I made, when I was in my
preschool days'," said Catherine Lucas (10).

"Legos remind me of my childhood because I
used to always play with them. I got my first
Legos from my dad and got different sets for
Christmas for years. I grew up playing with
them and hope to pass them on someday,"
said Alex Finger (11).

"This fish was my mom's that was given
to me as a kid. My grandma bought it for
my mom when she was three. We have
had it in our house ever since then," said
Liam Brennan (9).

»>

"This book reminds me of my childhood
because I grew up reading this book series.
My favorite of the Magic Treehouse series as
a kid was Dingoes at Dinnertime. Everytime
I see this book it reminds me of elementary
school when I actually used to read," said
Henry Kirby (10).

"This dancing groot figure reminds me of my

childhood because I used to read the
Guardians of the Galaxy comics growing up.
The comics featured the adorable dancing
Groot who quickly became my favorite
character," said Brewer Johnson (9).

oAt it's beaitt, Bishop has been a school since 1959, but the building we now call
home was not built until 2001. "Mr.Repass built this school; there was not a

single part he did not help with. He was present for everything," said
Mr.Eklund. The construction of Bishop was a project that Mr. Repass cared

deeply about. Even now, the faculty and staff in the school work to continue on
the mission that Mr.Repass started.

'tXaowa by nawG, Bishop has always had a decent sized student population. "The

administration has really become student-friendly as of this year. They know
each and every student by name," said Mr.Sickelbaugh. Administrative and
counseling staff sees each and every student as an individual and can tell you all
of their names. Bishop will continue to become a more individualized, student-

friendly school.

'3:ltac(gtgbt, The orginal Bishop building was built without one component most

students do not even notice today. "The doors to classrooms and the bathrooms
did not have any windows," said Mr. Koepf. Bishop was, at one point, missing

the key component to being able to wave at your friends when they are in class!

natural light. The prior building greatly lacked light, with little to no windows.

When the this building was built they made sure windows were everywhere.

One particular set of windows adds light to the school - the stained glass windows in the guidance hallway. Donated as a

gift from a previous class, they are pieces from the old campus' chapel. They cast a beautiful, colorful light on the floor and

on all those who walk by at certain times of the day. "It's one of my favorite places in the whole school," said Mrs. Kohl.

"It makes me feel happy every time I walk down the hall." Who knew such a simple gesture from a graduating class would

Cfltfifiin' The library was a place where students could go in the morning to talk with friends and, more importantly, finish all

homework they did not do the night before. "I usually get to school at about 7:45am and go to the library to write any papers I need

class, or to finish my left over homework," said Gilles Gahima (11). Whether students have homework or not, you can always find

abundance of people trying to catch up with friends and school. This year, the library was one of the social hot-spots.

compete against other people from their same

their weight class
they get a forfeit,
which counts as an

automatic win."

tXouqliest Si)<; minutes tlic/ie is, Wrestlers practice five days a week and

usually have a match on the weekends or weekday evenings. "Wrestling
is the hardest thing I have done in my life; it takes alot of patience and

mental fortitude. Even though it
can be a lot of hard work, the
feeling you get when you win a
match and get you get your hand
raised makes it worth it," said
David Spencer (11). If the
wrestler goes into a second round,
they flip a coin and the winner
determines the position they will
start in. "If it was not for wrestling
I would not be the person 1am
today. Wrestling has pushed me
and has motivated me to be a better
person. Getting a medal makes all
the blood, sweat and tears at
practice worth it," said Reid
Featherngill (12). Most boys of
the team have been wrestling all
four years and some will pursue
the sport and wrestle in college.

Being a wrestling manager is just as important as
being a wrestler. Wrestling managers keep up each

wrestler's score when they are in a match. If one
of the wreslters does not get a pin, they determine

the winner based upon points. The referee
consults with the managers to see who has the
most points. "Even though being a manager for
wrestling is very time consuming is it 100% worth
it. The wrestling team is a large family and no
matter what we have each others' backs. I wish I

would have known how much I would love
managing before this year because if I could go
back to freshmen year I would have done it in a
heartbeat. When I'm managing I love to watch the
boys - even though when I am taking score I am

not supposed to be yelling!" said Marilyn
Butterworth (11). Usually the managers take
turns keeping score. If there is a home match there
are usually 3-4 managers working, but if the
match is away only one manager keeps score

along with the other team.

lundi Gras?

(1Iffllli Of

fOOfl

Fat Tuesday is the traditional name for the
day before Ash Wednesday, the first day
of Lent in the Western Christian churches,
including the Roman Catholic Church and
Protestant churches. Fat Tuesday is more
commonly known as Mardi Gras, which

is simply, "Fat Tuesday" in French.
Because our schedule did not allow for a
Fat Tuesday celebration this year due to

ACT testing, Mrs. Garrett and the
National Art Honor Society organized the

celebration of "Fat Monday," or Lundi
Gras, instead. These celebrations are
strongly associated with wild behavior,
but the original intent of the holiday and
how it's kept by the faithful is much
different. Fat Tuesday is a long-standing
tradition of the Catholic Church and it
marks the last day of ordinary time before
the start of Lent, a time of fasting and
repentance. According to historians, the
celebration of Mardi Gras has its roots in

the pagan Roman celebration of
"Lupercalia." This was a February holiday
and it honored the Roman god of fertility.
It involved feasting, drinking, and overall

bad behavior. However, with the rise of
the Church in ancient Rome, Christian
teaching and morals took root. Even so,
there always remained a strong need to
blend ancient Roman traditional practices
with the growing Christian faith. The
blending of tradition with new religious
beliefs was a common practice in the
ancient world and it helped people to
transition towards Christianity and away
from immoral behavior in modern times.

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, the future Mother Teresa, was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje,
Macedonia. Her name means "rosebud" or "little flower." This is very fitting because her patron
saint, St. Terese of Lisieux, was nicknamed "The Little Flower," and is often depicted holding roses.
Mother Teresa dedicated her life to helping the least among us - the poor, the sick, and the hungry.

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta was canonized as a saint on September 4, 2016 by Pope Francis.

"Befaithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."

C^ase, Mrs. Woodie teaches Spanish I and Spanish II classes at Bishop McGuinness.
She is originally from Charlotte, NC and has been teaching Spanish for four years. "I started

learning Spanish in kindergarten at St. Gabriel's and continued through High School and
college. I studied abroad in Seville, Spain for one semester and I lived in Honduras for a year

after graduating from college. I realized that I wanted to teach Spanish after moving home
from Honduras," said Mrs. Woodie. Her favorite thing about teaching is getting to work with

the students every day. "I also have a great love of the Spanish language and culture," she
said. Mrs. Woodie is a great teacher who shares her love for Spanish with her students and

inspires them to learn more. She incorporates projects into her classroom, which students
love, because it gets them away from the lecture routine.

person that can make the student love or dislike the subject he or she teaches. The teacher
and the student form a team. It is a team effort," said Mrs. Sobkowski. She has been
teaching on and off for 30 years at all levels, from Elementary to Middle and High School.

String project is a series of photos taken of students and staff throughout the shook The pictures are posted in

the art hallway, and they are strategically placed so that the strings connect from picture to picture. The
connection of this string symbolizes how everyone at Bishop is connected in one way or another. Students and

staff love walking down the hallway and picking out familiar faces. "This project was a really good
opportunity for us, as photographers, to get creative with settings and poses for these pictures," said Jenny
Iruela (11), who is in the photography class here at Bishop. As well as the Red String Project being a fun and
different project for the photographers, people around the school have taken notice to its unique characteristics.
"The red string project is different because it incorporates not only students, but staff as well. It truly shows
everyone being brought together," said Samuel McDonald (10). Even the second time around, the Red String

Project continues to inspire and connect us all.
