The BMHS Ski Club comes together to hit the slopes for their first club trip.

by M.n'ici K.inimirc

The Ski Club c.inic together for their first
organized trip at W'interplaee Ski Resort in
West Virginia. The trip, planned hy founder
Thane Jacobsen, was a full day of skiing and
snowboarding on a sunny Sunda\’.

“I’m glad we finallv pulled the trip together.
Now 1 get to do what I love with my friends
and get discounted tickets,” said freshman
Emma Fritts.

Since the Ski Club had over fifteen
members on the trip, they received discounted
ftill-d,ty tickets. The group carpooled up to the
mountain, leaving at 8 a.m. to get to the
mountain for the opening of the lifts.

“Skiing has always been a passion of mine in
the winter, and combining that with other kids
who share the same love w'as a reallv fun
experience,” said senior Curt Davis.

Once they hit the slopes, members of the
club split up into groups based on their skiing
abilities. The beginners stayed on the easier
trails while the more experienced skiers and
snowboarders rode the black diamonds.

“The harder slopes challenge me to become
a better snowboarder, and I honestly like
showing off my skills,” said sophomore Arun
Ra)an.

All the skiers went home with tired legs and
wet clothes, marking the end of a good day.
They agreed that their first Ski Club trip was a
success and will seek new members for next
year.

The stories of Mr. Murry and Mrs. Key and how they came to Bishop.

Mr. Murry, u new part-time teacher this year, balanced multiple jobs while IV|e. IV|uE.eY
still being a large part of the Bishop student community. Mr. Murry's path to
working at Bishop is quite interesting. One day he walked to get some
sparkling water from the store. While he was in the store, he ran into one of
his old friends. Dr. Hirsh, who let him know about the recent opening for a
music teacher at Bishop.

“So basicalK' you could say I may have not gotten brought on board it it
wasn’t for my desire for a refreshing, fizzy drink,” said Mr. Murry.

Students have really opened up to the new teacher and the way he taught
class. Since his first day teaching here, he has felt a very positive and upbeat
energy coming from his students.

“The new guitar teacher has a veiw different teaching sttde so it’s a new
experience,” said sophomore Carson Gann.

Along with teaching at Bishop, Mr. Murrv’ also works one da\' a week at
I'orsyth Countr\' Day. In all, this new part-time teacher had become a great
part of the Bishop communitv and it was fate which brought him into our
halls.

Even as a part time teacher Mrs. Key had a knack for becoming close to her students. Mrs. Key has been
at BMHS for six years, before she began teaching she was a textile designer. The design projects were often
long and stressful. After her two sons were older she decided she needed a job with a lower stress level.

“I cried at the class that graduated in 2012 because that was the first class 1 had all four years.” said Mrs.
Key.

Mrs. Key worked hard on building relationships with students and loved to see the students mature not
only as artists but as people over the four years. Everything is not all bright and happy in art class, however.
The tough realization for students that art class is an academically challenging class comes on the first quiz.

“M}‘ least favorite part of art class is the quizzes we have to study for,” said freshman Maty Mulqueen
Overall art was about expressing oneself and Mrs. Key was sure to let her students know this. As a
working artist with a home studio, Mrs. Key knew the importance of expression. Often when students
walked in to the art room during lunch periods, music would be playing and every'one would be happily
working. Mrs. Key set an example by working for the love of art and her students.
