SPORTS
First, the debut of phenom Thomas
Higginson in his first ever JV Tennis match. Today, after school at 3:30. It
will be legendary.
Then, at 7:00, the moment you have all
been waiting for. Girls Basketball Semifinals vs LCC. At home in Eva May Square
Garden. This is the last home basketball game in the brief wondrous life of the
2014 Dungeon Turn Up Squad, and it’s a good one. The lady ballers are charging
straight into a big CIF Finals game Saturday at USD, so come out and join their
legendary championship run. This game is a WHITE OUT, so you know what to do.
You’re not going to remember that homework you did on a Wednesday night a month
from now, but you sure as hell will remember that tight game that you went to
that was off the hyphy charts. Stay in school, don’t do drugs, eat your veggies,
and go to the Girls Bball game tonight.

Bishop’s Legend: Dr. Hennessey
By:
Emily Gao
History has the stigma of being
a dull subject. Some argue that it’s too outdated. However, Faulkner fanatic
Dr. Hennessey counters that whoever believes this “just didn’t have a good
history teacher.” I had a grand old time sitting down with Dr. H herself and
talking to her about her past, present and future.
After 35 years of teaching, I asked Dr. Hennessey to reflect back on
her own high school days.
“Number
one, I went to a segregated school. The Warren Arkansas school system didn’t
start integrating till after I graduated. I saw the white colored drinking fountains.
What’s really weird is that I didn’t really think about it. That’s the way
things were.
I
was one of the good kids.... it was a small town, so if you did anything, your
parents would hear about it, so I studied and read and all. I ended up
getting to work in the principal's office. That was a good kid thing. I
remember being in there as a junior and watching our tattered textbooks being
shipped off to the black schools and thinking, ‘there’s something wrong with
this’.”
Any worries about teaching for too long?
“I
don’t want to be around when people are saying ‘she’s still here?’ I always
said that when one my kids came through I’d retire. But it has already
happened! When grandchildren come in, perhaps that’ll be the cue to stop.”
Dr. H’s first job at Bishop’s was teaching ninth graders. Little did she know how stealthy they could be.
“One of the classes I taught was the best class I ever had. Then I had this other class...they were out of control. I had no idea about discipline. I taught in lower Cummins, you know those classrooms? One day, a couple of boys were sneaking out through the brush and leaving class! Finally one of the girls asked, ‘You do know that Bill and Joe are sneaking out of class right?’ One year I tried teaching eighth grade. It was a total disaster. They’re too squirrely!”
I’m a supernatural geek, so I had to ask her what her ideal superpower
would be.
“Scary stuff. X-ray Vision! Mind reading! Actually, I wouldn’t
want one. I acknowledge the possibilities, but there’s too much responsibility.
Would I use it for good or evil? I’ll just pass.”
The best teaching advice she’s ever heard?
“To follow my instincts in the classroom. So I do that. I just
have fun doing it, and when I don’t, I’ll quit doing it.”
