Our dedicated faculty and staff are here to help form young men and women in faith, knowledge, compassion and service. A Fenwick education aims to allow each person to discover their God-given talents and gifts, and to use the blessings they have received with those in need. Our Catholic faith is the bedrock for living a life centered on Christ and seeking ways to make His presence known to all we encounter. At Fenwick, we seek to educate our students in faith and knowledge, and to discover the means for applying both, in seeking to bring peace and justice to our world. As St. James (2:14-26) reminds us, “faith without works is dead.” As our faculty and staff assist parents as the primary educators of their sons and daughters, together we can positively impact the lives of all our students and helping them achieve success now and into the future. As Fenwick’s motto reminds us, “to reach the heights, aim high!” May God bless each of our students in discovering and utilizing their talents and gifts fully this new year.

Your son(s) and/or daughter(s) should read and assimilate the guidelines presented here. A student’s registration at Bishop Fenwick High School is considered equivalent to a statement, on his/her part and on the part of the parents or guardians, of willingness to comply with all regulations and policies stated therein. Bishop Fenwick High School adheres to the principle of subsidiary in community and believes that disagreements should be resolved at the lowest possible level. Student, parents/guardians who feel that they have a legitimate grievance related to school practices, policies or relationships shall be expected to adhere to the Grievance Procedures on page 17. The purpose of this procedure is to produce, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to grievances in a spirit of justice and charity. Parents or guardians will be notified when their son(s) and/or daughter(s) reach certain demerit levels involving Saturday School Detentions, or when they have been involved in a major infraction of a school rule. Additionally, parents or guardians will be alerted to negligence on the part of the student with regards to his/her service-learning obligation. Ongoing academic and discipline reports are available via your PlusPortals (Portals) account. The Mission of Bishop Fenwick High School, as motivated by our Philosophy and Vision, requires that we work in conjunction with parents and guardians in promoting life-long learning and Christian formation of our students, thereby forming Christian leaders for tomorrow. Therefore, when personal, philosophical or faith concerns of the student, parents or guardians arise that are divergent from that of the Mission of Bishop Fenwick High School and those concerns cannot be resolved it will be necessary for the family to investigate alternative educational avenues. 8 Bishop Fenwick High School 4855 State Route 122 Franklin, OH 45005 School Hours building is open 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Office Hours 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Library/Media Center 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Main Office Phone: (513) 423-0723 Fax: (513)420-8690 Office of Admissions (513) 428-0525 Office of Development (513) 727-1500 Athletic Office (513) 423-0724 A Comprehensive list of faculty and staff for Bishop Fenwick High School, along with their credentials and contact information, can be found on our website. www.fenwickfalcons.org 9 School Motto To Reach the Heights, Aim High!

The school takes its name from Bishop Edward D. Fenwick, the first bishop of Cincinnati. Bishop Fenwick’s first home was Old South School (built in 1872). In need of extensive repairs, the historic building was renovated by the faculty, parishioners and prospective students. The school’s first principal, Rev. Julian Krusling, presided over the opening day ceremonies held on August 21, 1952.

  • Songs of the Century
    Songs of the Century T. Austin Graham hat is the time, the season, the historical context of a popular song? When is it most present in the world, best able Wto reflect, participate in, or construct some larger social reality? This essay will consider a few possible answers, exploring the ways that a song can exist in something as brief as a passing moment and as broad as a century. It will also suggest that when we hear those songs whose times have been the longest, we might not be hearing “songs” at all. Most people are likely to have an intuitive sense for how a song can contract and swell in history, suited to a certain context but capable of finding any number of others. Consider, for example, the various uses to which Joan Didion is able to put music in her generation-defining essay “Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” a meditation on drifting youth and looming apocalypse in the days of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture. Songs create a powerful sense of time and place throughout the piece, with Didion nodding to the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quick- silver Messenger Service, and “No Milk Today” by Herman’s Hermits, “a song I heard every morning in the cold late spring of 1967 on KRFC, the Flower Power Station, San Francisco.”1 But the music that speaks most directly and reverberates most widely in the essay is “For What It’s Worth,” the Buffalo Springfield single whose chiming guitar fifths and famous chorus—“Stop, hey, what’s that sound / Everybody look what’s going down”—make it instantly recognizable nearly five decades later.2 To listen to “For What It’s Worth” on Didion’s pages is to hear a song that exists in many registers and seems able to suffuse everything, from a snatch of conversation, to a set of political convictions, to nothing less than “The ’60s” itself.

  • Bedrock and Surficial Geology in the Greater Belfast-Brooks Area, South-Central Maine
    Geological Society of Maine 2016 Summer Field Trip Bedrock and surficial geology in the greater Belfast-Brooks area, south-central Maine David P. West, Jr. Middlebury College Woodrow B. Thompson Maine Geological Survey Roger LeB. Hooke University of Maine Stephen Pollock University of Southern Maine Field Trip Objective On this field trip we will highlight prominent bedrock and surficial features in the general area between Belfast and Brooks, Maine. Many of the individual stops visited will allow for observations of features related to both the bedrock geologic history (hundreds of millions of years old), and the much more recent glacial history (tens of thousands of years old). The bedrock portion of the trip will provide opportunities to observe representative units within four major tectonic terranes that are juxtaposed in this region (St. Croix, Fredericton, Passagassawakeag, and Casco Bay belts). Additionally, aspects of the deformation, metamorphic, and plutonic history of the region will be examined. Finally, a spectacular traverse across the high strain portion of the regionally extensive Norumbega fault system will reveal a wide variety of fault rocks (e.g., mylonite, cataclasite, pseudotachylyte), and demonstrate a complex history of superimposed faulting. The glacial portion of the trip will include localities showing impressive glacial grooves revealing ice flow directions, erratic boulders eroded from till, a new glaciomarine delta exposure, and an esker pit. Additionally there will be stops that “ground-truth” the new stunning Lidar imagery in the area that has provided evidence of widespread removal of upland till by subglacial meltwater streams which, near the glacier margin, are associated with esker nets.

  • ROCK OUTCROP SYSTEM Ros12 Southern Floristic Region Southern Bedrock Outcrop Dry, Open Lichen-Dominated Plant Communities on Areas of Exposed Bedrock
    ROCK OUTCROP SYSTEM ROs12 Southern Floristic Region Southern Bedrock Outcrop Dry, open lichen-dominated plant communities on areas of exposed bedrock. Woody vegetation is sparse, and vascular plants are restricted to crevices, shallow soil deposits, and rainwater pools. Vegetation Structure & Composition Description is based on summary of vegetation plot data (relevés), plant species lists, and field notes from surveys of approximately 50 bedrock outcrops. • Lichen and bryophyte cover is high. On exposed bedrock, crustose and foliose lichens predominate. Species include Can- delariella vitellina, Lecanora muralis, Rhi- zocarpon disporum, Dimelaena oreina, Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia, Xanthopar- melia plittii, Acarospora americana, Physcia subtilis, and Dermatocarpon miniatum. On bedrock margins and along crevices, fruti- cose species such as Cladonia pyxidata are present with the more abundant crustose and foliose species. Common bryophytes on exposed rock include Schistidium and Grim- mia species, and, along crevices, Ceratodon purpureus, Weissia controversa, and Tortula species. Mosses often form carpets in shallow rainwater-collecting bedrock hollows. • Herbaceous plant cover is sparse to patchy (5–50%); characteristic species in crevices and areas with shallow soil (< 1in [3cm] deep), where plant biomass is low, include small-flowered fameflower (Talinum parviflorum), brittle prickly pear (Opuntia fragilis), rock spikemoss (Selaginella rupestris), rusty woodsia (Woodsia ilvensis), false pennyroyal (Isanthus brachiatus), slender knotweed

  • Mayor's Brief by Rod Woodbury out of Many, One E Pluribus Unum. out Of
    Mayor’s Brief by Rod Woodbury Out of Many, One E Pluribus Unum. Out of many, one. Engraved on various coins and seals of the United States, this Latin phrase has become our nation’s de facto motto. Of my seven children, six have now earned their Great American Award at King Elementary. Leslie and I treat each one to a Washington, D.C. trip the following year. It’s become a treasured family tradition and a great blessing to learn more about our nation’s founding principles and the great sacrifices made by so many to preserve them. The U.S. Capitol Visitors Center shows an introductory film called E Pluribus Unum that I love. It provides a much-needed reminder that out of many states, cities, and neighborhoods . out of vastly different perspectives and personalities . out of so many fiercely independent people . one united nation emerged. It reminds me that solutions in America come not from a single voice but from many. Our country is made up of many different races, religions, languages, and ancestries. Our desires are different. Our views vary widely. And sometimes we express those legitimate differences quite passionately. But in the end “We the People” are still “one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Despite our differences, we’re really quite good at finding common ground, at balancing our various beliefs, opinions, and desires. The great melting pot. Boulder City isn’t all that different than our nation as a whole. Our residents have many different backgrounds, world views, objectives, agendas, opinions, perspectives, and values.
