wanted to cross that finish line," said Andrew. Participants of
the mud run swam through mud pits, crawled in the mud under
barbed wire, rolled in the mud, and ran and slipped through
the muddy terrain for the duration of the race. This race was a

aspects of it. Photo Credit: Mrs. Desalvo

The FAST and the FURIOUS

Starting sophomore year. Bishop students begin getting licenses and are able to
drive. Being unable to design their own parking spot, students often show their
personalities through their cars. They usually decorate their cars with stickers or
magnets. See if you can identify which car belongs to the following people.

Tyrannical Teeth

Students share their wild and wacky stories of getting their wisdom teeth taken out.

by Natalie Hamlet and Maximo Sprenklc

Youthful Wisdom

Getting your wisdom teeth out is painful and boring, but imagine getting them out in sixth grade.
Isa P ardino (9) shares her story of her surgery when she was just barely in middle school.
Q: How old were you when you had to get them out and why?
A: I was 12 and just started middle school. 1 had to get them taken out because they were growing really fast
and if we had waited, then they would have messed up my braces.
Q: What do you remember before the surgery?
A: I just remember that they told me to count backwards from ten and the last number 1 remember saying is six
and then I guess I went under.
Q: What happened when you woke up?
A: 1 remember waking back up in the office in a chair and I was sitting next to someone who looked like they
were dying and I freaked out. Somehow they calmed me down and took pictures of my mouth and I left. The
first few days after were rough but that's normal.

BMHS students are in an epic battle about whether it is

better having glasses, or not.

by Jack Arnold

4 r.-H i^ Christine

D udley (12) likes her glasses, but she

feels that they are an inconvenience to

her daily life. "I have to make sure 1 can

keep track of them throughout my day.

I have to wear them when 1 dri\'e or

when 1 read the board in class, so they

are a need in my life that I can't lose,"

said Christine.

Pre-*p€e - r r i i o ^ i H e -

e ., Gabriel Bisti (11)
thinks that glasses are a pain and would

rather have none. "Glasses are okay
only because they help me see, but they

are annoying and I would rather have
no glasses at all," said Gabriel.

»e-to 1 i«Y

M olly Bernard (11) thinks

that glasses are necessart’, e.xcept that it

is hard to lay com fortably when taking

a nap. "1 like glasses because they help

me see, but 1 wear contacts mostly

because 1 can't lay down easily to sleep

or watch the TV. Also, so many

smudges get on the lenses it's hard to

see out of them," said M olly.

would like to have glasses.
"If I could have glasses I
would definitely take
them. I think I would
look good in them.
Maybe they would accent
the whole hipster thing
people think about me,"
said Derek.

M e -v c ,r

I Crystal Valente (12) does not wear
glasses because she has never gone to an
eye doctor. "I have never had the need to
go get them checked, because 1 feel I
have perfect vision. In fourth grade, all
my friends started getting glasses, and at
first I thought they were cool. But I did
not need them," said Crystal.

C-DWVi Robert Ganser(lO) feels

that having glasses would be difficult,

and he is glad that he can see without

them. "Glasses are cool, but they look

uneasy. I am thankful 1 can see well

without them. Also, I don't think they

look comfortable and I wouldn't be able

to handle the care needed for them," said

Robert.
