THE REASON THEY CHOOSE TO COME HERE IS NOT THE REASON THEY CHOOSE TO STAY HERE 4

from the head

By Paul Krieger

Over the past 118 years, young men and their families have been drawn to Christ School for any number of reasons: perhaps to engage in academic rigor, or develop better study habits, acquire discipline, or gain exposure to new interests with peers from all over the world, to learn to become their own self-advocate, or just plain “toughen up.” These are what we might call transactional motivation. While those same reasons may still attract, there is so much more that goes on behind our front entrance gate and so much more young men have extracted from their experiences here. It is rather the transformational attributes obtained here that set their experience apart from what they had anticipated. They never imagined becoming a “4.0 version” of themselves when they first arrived on campus. They will leave here as fully engaged, fully functional young men, ready for the world that opens before them. Below are just a few of the meaningful lessons they encounter here and hopefully ones that will set them apart.

Relationships with Adults – Think back to that one teacher, that one coach, that one adult mentor who believed in you before anyone else saw the light in your soul. Perhaps it was during a time when you felt dejected and awkward, when your peers who surrounded you appeared

to be moving through life like a swift breeze and you were so very out of step. I suspect that each of us had that adult in our lives who saw the magic in us before we ever did; that adult who might have saved us from making a bad decision, who took an interest in us because it was simply the right thing to do, or the teacher who told us that our perspective mattered and that we were going to make it. Their smile and kindness encouraged hope and possibilities.

We only needed one. I was lucky enough to have four or five, probably because I required that many to get me moving forward on the path of life. No technology, no gimmick, no social media post, no shortcut can ever serve as well as that respected, powerful, and believing adult who showed up in our lives exactly when we needed them to. Boys find that here.

Values – The importance of values in one’s life cannot be sufficiently underscored. Today’s celebrity culture may hold sway in society, but it is counter-cultural to the values that Christ School upholds. And it’s not just Hollywood; it’s professional sports stars, it’s the self-serving politicians both right and left, the media, and people in positions of power and influence who prey on the naive and susceptible. The importance of character and values was recently brought back to the surface in the many tributes paid to George H.W. Bush. It was as if the media had just discovered there were these things called “values.” Character has always mattered: it is the very foundation of our nation and what defines a society. Issues divide, values unite. But we haven’t forgotten what character means, what it can do, and how it can hold a country, a school, or a family together. Christ School teaches tolerance, resilience, fortitude, kindness, and the dignity of manual labor. We inculcate into our school’s culture humility, service, and the importance of doing a task to its completion. As one boy from Texas said in his senior speech earlier this fall, “It’s important to stop acting like a 10-year-old and do your job.”

Boys find that here.

Confidence – Confidence is not a commodity like soybeans or pork bellies. It cannot be found on Amazon, nor by clicking “Purchase Now” to have it delivered in 2-3 business days.

Confidence is an acquired trait and can only be

gained by risking something when the outcome is in doubt. If you know you’re going to be an easy winner, get that easy “A” without putting in any effort, if you take a short cut during the race to cheat the field, no confidence will be gained, no meaningful experience can be logged. Confidence must be developed, it must be pursued with vigor and risk. A healthy dose of courage, faith, and a sense of adventure will catapult a boy to the starting line. Then be prepared to fail, start over, and try it again.

Some acrobats work without a net, others rely on one. Having confidence teaches us to leave the safety net behind. Boys find that here.

characteristics of successful people is their ability to distinguish constructive criticism from the catcalls of negativism by those whose only wish is for them to fail. Mentors of young people need to try and get to “yes.” Adults can too often get hooked on “no” which is then all that an adolescent hears. That is one sure way to kill potential, limit dreams, and encourage mediocre lives. As adults, whatever we hope and dream our children will be doing in middle age likely pales to what they are currently imagining for themselves. Educate them, push them, discipline them, empower them, and love them. Boys find that here.

Singer Mary Chapin Carpenter has a song that speaks to a lifestyle of living life on your terms entitled, “I Take My Chances.” It reminds me of the benefits of not always playing it safe:

Risk – Timidity tends to make cowards of us all. Boys are natural risk takers. Let’s not quash a boy’s natural “romance with risk,” because it will only lead to a fear of danger and a fear of failure. We wouldn’t have the United States of America if we grew boys (and girls) like that. We wouldn’t have electricity, grow more food than we eat, have cured diseases that killed millions, be the most generous people on earth, who live with freedom and hope every day. We need to encourage young people to aim for what may seem to them impossible, and not constantly remind them of what could go wrong. We need to tell them to “go for it.” One of the defining

I take my chances, I pay my dollar and I place my bet I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I take my chances, I don't mind working without a net I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I take my chances, I won't cling to remorse or regret I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get.

A boy may arrive at Christ School with a modest set of goals. If we are doing our job, he leaves with a far greater sense of who he is and what he might become. And he leaves grateful for the relationships he has forged with faculty who care, with a keen sense of values that endure, with greater confidence, and with a healthy appreciation for taking appropriate risks. n

Chocolat i er Asheville All You Need is Love (and Chocolat e ) ——————————

Asheville’s chocolate artisans are full of passion – for their craft, their ingredients, and the community that has allowed them to thrive.

“Oh, this reminds me of the chocolate shops I visited in Paris!”

Elisabeth Foley of Asheville’s Chocolate Fetish said she hears this often from her customers, and it’s no accident: producing truffles that match the best European concoctions is one of the main goals of her shop, Asheville’s oldest source of artisanal chocolate.

Foley and her parents took over the Chocolate Fetish in 2001, and since then they have racked up an impressive number of awards for their 36 varieties of chocolate truffles. Their Haywood Street location also features a tour of their production facilities, which produces truffles in small, carefully tailored batches. “Each different truffle has its own unique blend of chocolates that pair well with the flavor we’re making,” Foley said, adding that, “Everyone in the family, young and old, can enjoy the chocolate tour: it’s all on site, so you can see our kitchen, learn a lot of history, and taste some samples.”

Another alluring feature of the shop is the unique chocolate artwork on display. If you stepped in during the holidays, for example, you would find a chocolate mountain landscape complete with snowmen and bears. “Just to come and see all the cool things made out of chocolate is worth it, in and of itself,” Foley said. “I love having the opportunity to combine both of those passions – my passion for food (and specifically chocolate) along with my passion for art.”

Connected to the Source Passion also drives Jael and Dan Rattigan, founders of French Broad Chocolate, whose main location is on Pack Square downtown. After a stint owning a restaurant in Costa Rica, the couple set up in Asheville, where they spent a few years selling their products at regional farmers’ markets. That experience convinced them to incorporate local ingredients when they opened their first location in 2008 – and ultimately drove them to forge personal relationships with growers and suppliers back in Costa Rica so they could make all of their chocolate from scratch. “It’s quite incredible to experience chocolate and dessert that has been sourced with integrity and with ingredients that you can connect directly to the source,” Jael said.

French Broad now has three locations: in addition to their spacious lounge on Pack Square (which serves a variety of desserts), they will soon open a café and creamery on Asheville’s South Slope, and a new factory on the French Broad River has just opened, with a café, daily tours of their “bean-to-bar” production facilities, and a chocolate museum.

Like a fine filled chocolate, love is at the center of everything the Rattigans do with French Broad Chocolate. They love how their business gives visitors a connection to the far-flung producers who source the company’s product. They also love that so many people love chocolate. “To have a career that brings people happiness is pretty special and something I don’t foresee tiring of,” Jael admitted. Finally, despite the company’s rapid growth and development, Jael still loves her product. Given the array of treats at her fingertips, how does she indulge?

Simple chocolate chip cookies, she said, are “the thing I most consistently make and go back to.”

Still Crazy for Chocolate “We basically take the inside of a truffle, liquefy it, and mix it into hot milk. It’s pretty great.”

That’s how Melissa Quinn of Asheville Chocolate describes the hot chocolate sold at her shop on Broadway, just north of Pack Square downtown.

A few years ago, Quinn and her husband took over a neighbor’s chocolate business in Black Mountain, and they have recently moved their storefront to Asheville, where they sell truffles and Asheville’s only homemade gelato, in addition to a selection of chocolate drinks.

Speaking to Quinn, it’s clear that she still has the enthusiasm that led her to make her own truffles as an amateur (asked what she likes most about making chocolates, she said, “taste testing – or call it ‘quality control’”). But running her own business, even in a community that has plenty of other eateries and chocolate shops, has also made her enthusiastic about the city of Asheville.

Other than the obvious fact, as she puts it, that chocolate is “amazing and delicious,” being a part of Asheville’s downtown community is one of the things she enjoys most about her work. “It’s a pretty close-knit community of small business owners,” she said. “I know all my neighbors.” n

SAVOR After 24 years, the longest tenure of any Chaplain in Christ School history, Kirk Brown, who has been encouraging his congregation to slow down and savor life’s blessings, is taking his own advice. After he distributes Bibles and offers his signature hug to each member of the Class of 2019 at Commencement, he will follow the graduating seniors down Christ School Road to a new chapter in his life.

During his time at CS, Father Brown has witnessed dramatic changes in the school and has adapted the Chapel Program to address and support those changes. Some of his many contributions include moving Eucharist from Sunday to a weekday to accommodate our growing day student population; stepping in as a kind of crisis coordinator when the unexpected occurs; creating an informal Fellowship, hosted by faculty, to enhance our regular worship; and giving our busy community permission to slow down by bringing rocking chairs to campus. He also initiated Call to Action, a weekly meeting in which teachers develop plans to help struggling students. Furthermore, his community discussion group, Issues to Chew On, evolved into an important student-run club, the Global

Issues Forum, that gives students an outlet to explore timely issues.

He has served as a coach, advisor, teacher, and American father for ASSIST students from numerous countries. A man of sundry talents and hobbies, he has shared many of his passions with students, including surfing, playing the cello, and baking bread. He even performed in a band alongside his son, David, and daughter, Kate, in Zeldafest, an annual music festival that he helped launch.

Little did Father Brown know when he arrived on our campus that the threads of Christ School would be interwoven into the very fabric of his life. His first appointed Sacristan, Jeremy Walters ’97, went on to marry his daughter, Kate. Later on, Jeremy would build the cross that adorns the Outdoor Chapel.

Looking Back and

Looking Back and Gazing Ahead: In Father Brown’s Own Words “Where’s Arden?”

While teaching at Virginia Episcopal School (1977-89) where I was German teacher, college counselor, and Assistant Dean of Students, I first realized I wanted to go off to seminary with the idea of school chaplaincy. We had a school chaplain at VES who reminded me of a youth minister I had known when I was a teenager, one who simply opened the door for me in a non-judgmental way. It was his model that I was trying to emulate. The funny thing about seminary is they beat out of you any notion of school work and encourage you, instead, to work in parish ministry. So after I left Virginia Theological Seminary, I went to St. John’s

forces to make music. The turning point was attending a rock concert by just such an ensemble, calling themselves the Mad Dog Blues Band. The entire community turned out for the concert that night in Pingree; I listened and watched, and I saw a collaborative model that absolutely blew me away. I was sold.

Chapel Then and Now When I arrived in 1995, there was a Sunday evening service that ended the weekend and launched the new week. It was a 5:15 Eucharist service, followed by a seated meal. The next night, Monday evening, we would gather for Evensong, a vestige of the past when Evensong would have occurred every single night. Boys and faculty would rush from athletic practice, change as quickly as they could into coat and tie, and hurry over for a short Chapel service and then a seated meal. Other chapel services were held at the beginning of the day on Wednesday

“Father Brown nourished the compassion, generosity, and tenderness so necessary for boys to develop a spiritual life as they become men. In his gentleness of spirit and kindness of heart, he is a true example of Christ-like love.”

—Gabe Dunsmith ’11 Episcopal Church in Roanoke, VA, and loved it. But in my third year there, when I was taking my daughter, Kate, to look at boarding schools, I saw something in the Chapel Program at one of the schools that rekindled the earlier dream. I no sooner walked in the door, when I got a call from Russ Ingersoll at Christ School. “I’m the headmaster of an all-boys Episcopal boarding school in Arden, North Carolina,” he said.

“Would you entertain the idea of chaplaincy?” I responded, “If you had asked me two days ago, I would have said ‘no’ immediately, as I’m kind of on a new track in parish ministry – but wait, where’s Arden?”

So, I came for a visit, and I fell in love with what I saw at Christ School. It was in the days of what was called “Interim,” essentially a week-long enrichment program. The faculty and students were going hiking, taking cooking classes together, learning how to fly, or, joining

and Thursday morning.

We were doing what we could to hold to tradition, but we were facing huge changes that we didn’t even recognize. For example, it had become increasingly difficult, given the growing emphasis on athletics, to get everyone off the sports fields in time for that 5:15 service, so we had to abandon Evensong. As our day student and day faculty ranks grew, it became obvious that there was no way Sunday night could be the gathering time for the entire community.

So, Paul (Krieger) came up with the idea of the mid-week Eucharist shortly after he became Headmaster. I grew to love the change, because even though we no longer had our chief worship service on Sunday, we had gained an important midweek Sabbath pause: today we have that service on Wednesday morning, finishing in time for advisors and advisees to enjoy an extended lunch together.

11

I think the greatest challenge we have faced over the years is the way a fuller schedule has encroached on our ability – or our willingness – to stop what we’re doing. And that has made those moments when we do pause even more important. The ringing of the Angelus has always been a tradition, but now, with the many demands of our schedule, it’s even more important that we all stop in place when we hear it being rung. The rocking chairs were another notion that I really wanted to try out, because they give implicit permission to stop what we’re doing and actually take in the beauty of our surroundings.

Christ School Changes I have always loved the energy around boys, but honestly, I had to rediscover my commitment to single-gender education. When I went off

the “happiness quotient” and an open love and affection for the institution. It gives me great joy, because I think the emphasis we have made on the theme of hospitality in the Chapel Program has extended to include an invitation to accommodate one another and one another’s joys and sorrows.

I want to tell a quick story because I think it’s emblematic of this shift, although I didn’t realize it at the time. My son, David, had just gone off to college. I was living in what has since become the Kennedy-Herterich Art Studio. Every Wednesday I made it a habit to go into town just to get some time off campus.

On one Wednesday evening, I was just too tired to go anywhere, so I decided to have a quiet night at home. Just as I was settling in, there was a loud knock at the door, and I thought, “I’m not on duty, so I’m not going to

Ministry in Crisis On September 11, 2001, I realized with a sense of quiet panic that it was falling to me to somehow respond to this national disaster and that I didn’t have a script for it. In the hours that followed, as news of the attacks unfolded, we did the best we could; we stumbled forward. And then out of the chaos a sense of calm emerged that was so full of grace. I suddenly realized, “I don’t have to have all the answers. We will be given those answers, but we have to come together to do it.” So after we had watched the horrific images of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center, and once we had accounted for most of our parents, we gathered in St. Joseph’s Chapel to pray. The following day I felt immense gratitude for our Assistant Chaplain, David Lindsey, who crafted a special service for the

school community. At a key moment, he invited a Jewish student and a Muslim student to come forward: the three stood before us, boldly joining hands, and demonstrating the unity we all longed to believe was possible.

What will stay with me is how we came into the Chapel to be together as a community in a way I don’t think we could anywhere else on campus. How many times in our history the Chapel has served to draw us together!

Taking Leave

I’m more at peace with leaving than probably makes sense. I’m okay letting go, because I know that someone had to let go in order for me to come here when I was 41 years old. The boys are exactly the same age as they were when I got here, but I’m not. So, the big lesson this year is that it’s time to step aside because it’s

“Father Brown was an educator to me in a space that you wouldn’t think to educate (the Chapel). He allowed me to grow and form my own faith and leadership within that faith while quietly guiding it, pushing me to be challenged, but always ready to help me back up when things didn’t work out as planned.”

to Davidson College, it was all-male but then became coed. When I got to UVA for my graduate work, it had recently coeducated.

When I arrived at VES, it was all male, but by the time I left it had coeducated. So, I had come to believe that single-gender education was passé. What I found at CS was the freedom for the boys to explore and try things that might have been more difficult in a coeducational environment. Here boys were willing to try drama and choir, even though they were athletes.

What I have observed over the years is more and more joy boys, families, alumni and even the faculty feel at being part of this incredible community. What’s the evidence?

The growing number of Christ School license plates that you see in town; the hats, shirts, belts, and ties proudly sporting our logo; the alumni who come back their fall break to be at CS where they feel they are part of a family.

So, the biggest shift I’ve seen is what I’d call

answer.” When the knocking became louder, then more insistent, I realized I had to check.

I walked down the steps from the kitchen to what is still the open porch, and there were three boys standing there in helmets with skateboards in hand. One of them had a Bible, and he explained they had a question: “We saw in the book of Genesis that it says, ‘Let us make humans in our image.’ Who is the ‘we’?

We thought there was just God.” I was frankly impressed. “Guys, that’s a great question.

Could we talk about this tomorrow?” One of them looked back at me and said, “Sure, but the real reason we came by is that a year ago we were all outside skateboarding with David.

We thought maybe you missed those days. We thought maybe you were lonely, so we came by.” I have carried that story with me because it’s emblematic of mutual ministry – the ways boys tend to us, which they also did during 9/11 and at other key moments over the years.

“Working with Father Brown was not only my greatest honor as a Christ School student, but it fostered substantial maturity in my faith. I appreciated his openness to new ideas within the Chapel Program which he allowed me to pursue, as well as his conversations around faith on campus and beyond.

I know that my love of ministry and the sense of comfort I feel within the church are thanks, in no small part, to his welcoming and kind spirit which characterized the Christ School Chapel Program for the entirety of my tenure.”

that season in life. And that is actually a good thing; I am excited about whoever it is who will succeed me. My hope and prayer for the school is that that person will just be free to exercise his or her own gifts in the way that I’ve been able to exercise mine. And that will most certainly include exploring new aspects of ministry. That is exciting.

Also I need to take a break to figure out what happens next in life, what plans God has in mind for me next. I’m going to be here; I cannot imagine life without CS, so I know that it will be a part of my fabric moving forward.

But I have to be respectful of whoever is coming to give [the new chaplain] some time and space. I want to travel. I have this dream of walking somewhere – maybe the Camino

in Spain, or some of the Irish paths, or the Dolomites, or some of the many trails in this beautiful part of God’s creation. Whatever else that might mean, something tells me that I literally need to be walking, so long as my body will hold out. I see it as a spiritual discipline to answer the questions we all face: “Okay, what’s next? What am I supposed to do?”

More Time for Family My wife, Shelley (formerly an attorney with Pisgah Legal Services), is more busy than she has ever been at the board level and with a number of activities in the community, so we’re trying to navigate that. We also have a new grandchild; in addition to a 13-year-old and an 8-year-old who live here in Asheville, we now have an 9-month-

old who lives in Portland, OR. So, I know that will account for quite a lot of our travel. We are planning a big trip next fall, too; we haven't decided where yet, but maybe Morocco, Greece, or Italy.

We are very happy on our little farm, Cross Creek, just down the road between Fletcher and Fairview. We have any number of dogs who have adopted us (as many as five, currently just one), two horses, and cows that a local farmer keeps on the farm. One of the reasons I’m so happy there is that it is so close to Christ School. I can hear the Angelus bell ring in the evenings when athletic teams have come back from victories.

We feel planted here. We love the farm and its proximity to school, and we want to stay there as long as health allows.

Staying Connected Each of us has gifts. Among those that gives me greatest joy has been serving as a connector: I love helping people find others with similar interests and passions when they might not otherwise have found one another. Being a member of Pen and Plate Club has allowed me to meet interesting people whom I can connect with Christ School. I’d love to think that somehow that might continue, or [I could continue] to be a mentor, or the farm could be a place where people can come and visit.

That way I wouldn't have to completely remove myself from life at CS. I’m so pleased with what Christ School has become. In 1995 when I arrived, even the boys who loved CS didn’t feel that they had permission to say so. Now in his senior talk a boy will tell his classmates that he loves them and sometimes even weep openly. I think we have become a much more humane place. In a curious way, I feel we are more countercultural now than ever – but in the best sense of that word. We help teach humanity and what it means to be connected to other people and not to be divided the way that I think we see swirling around us so much. n

“I’d like to think I’ve been a part of ‘hospitality’ we espouse in Chapel. The inter-generational collaboration going on between teachers and students is so joyful; there is such positive energy among those who see Christ School as their community – a place to learn together, to live together and work together – and that makes the investment of these past 24 years the most fulfilling I could have imagined.”

—Father Kirk Brown

“A long-held theory of mine is that from time to time in the trajectory of successful institutions the right people come along to exert a lasting force for good on the institutions they serve. So, it is with Kirk Brown.”

of Character Read Literature

By Cameron Hillier

The beauty of teaching literature at Christ School is the freedom to choose which books I teach and how I teach them.

Above: Cameron Hillier leads his Honors British Literature students through a Donne sonnet.

I confess a strong love for the likes of Shakespeare, Emerson, and Orwell, so I selfishly stock my American and British Literature courses with works they wrote; nonetheless, these profound stories that shaped our culture and society are, to me, like a screwdriver to a handyman. Perhaps they connote more eloquence and subtlety, but fundamentally they are simple tools that have value in a myriad of situations.

Literature teaches one about the human condition: it illustrates the paradoxes and anomalies that pervade the world and those within it; furthermore, literature acts as a mirror for the reader. Within the complexity of Macbeth lies a truth one fears to admit but cannot help seeing. Within Emerson’s writings, a young reader finds the truth of his human experience written over a century before his time. I use these texts because they are the best tools for the job.

The job, however, is not merely to teach English language and grammar to teenage boys. The job for which I’ve prepared is to turn these boys into young men who own their responsibilities, fulfill their obligations, and find a home in our world in which they can thrive. The quality of my work will resound for decades in their lives, and unlike my ephemeral lesson plans, the take-away from my class can inform their relationships with future peers, spouses, and children.

For this reason, my students this year have begun a project which I’ve entitled the “Leadership & Ethics Journal.” Weekly prompts challenge the boys to write about who they are

and who they are becoming as they round the high school corner and set their sights on college and the world beyond. You see, I use the characters and ideas from the literature to relate back to the real world, and thus to teach the more important point.

A boy might write about admiring his grandfather’s work ethic, his mother’s ability to love unconditionally, or his friend’s unabashed uniqueness. Admiring, respecting, and appreciating the virtues one sees in a person or character is valuable, but it is still a step shy of changing one’s way of being for the better. One must emulate the virtues he reads about and sees.

True emulation requires one not just to copy something, but to attempt to improve upon the original. In this way, a student can admire and respect his father, but more importantly he must do his utmost to be a better version of his father; this is where growth occurs. The mission of my class is to become a better friend, brother, son, future husband and father. The stakes are high, but these lessons will resound for a lifetime and are not simply for college admissions. Thankfully, I am not alone in this mission at Christ School. Getting an education is possible anywhere, but being surrounded by caring teachers, coaches, and mentors who engage their world in a meaningful way and choose to dedicate their hours to bettering the boys who see them is unique.

Through the Leadership & Ethics Journal, a boy privately reflects on who he is and where he is in the process of becoming the man he wants to be. He is not asked to share anything he does not want to, and each and every student finds honesty within himself during these times of reflection. There is no penalty or reward for how wellwritten the journal is, but instead, perhaps a silent wake up call for the boy who finds he has little to write about when asked what he adds to our class and community.

As I said before, Shakespeare and others have value because they’re wonderfully written works, but the reason they have endured the test of time is that they hold some fundamental human truths within their lines. What a young man must do is recognize those truths – those virtues – and attempt to emulate them. Incorporate the best from each protagonist he reads into his own style, his own personality, and be purposeful about becoming the man he wants to be. Who he is in the future will not be an accident: it will be the culmination of the cultivation of the attitudes, habits, and ways of being that he grew up practicing. Being purposeful about becoming a man of character starts now. n

Architects in Training:

Interest Builds for New Winter Activity

This winter, the art building has been bustling with even more creative energy, thanks to the new afternoon activity, Architecture and Model Making.

By Katie Massaroni

Above: Owen Riley ’23 designs a model.

Ten boys have been meeting with me on weekdays after school in the Kennedy-Herterich Art Studio: Cannon Flinders ’23, Weller Kreimer ’19, Mason Lamb ’21, Tommy Li ’21, Philip Lopez ’23, Robby McAlister ’22, Owen Riley ’23, Alexander Rivera ’23, Spencer Strickland ’22, and Doug Bland ’19.

The new activity started with a discussion of how the function of a building can affect its form.

From there, students studied the plans for the Mill Center for the Arts in Hendersonville, NC, and we discussed how the context of a building should influence its design. Students designed and built their own model of an arts center, complete with auditoriums, snack bars, and galleries.

Fortunately for us, Asheville is a place of great architectural design. We took a walking tour of the downtown area and learned about the many architectural styles displayed throughout its streets.

We have also met some really interesting people.

The architect of many of the new Christ School buildings, Mr. Alan McGuinn of Arca Design, gave us a tour of his downtown office, and the boys got a chance to ask him questions about the buildings they use every day. Olympic cyclist Lauren Tamayo came to Christ School with her silver medal and talked with us about her transition from an Olympic athlete to a builder of fine homes in the Asheville area with a company she co-owns, LMT Homes. We also met Mr. Robin Woodward, founder of Blue Ridge Energy System, who taught us the tricks to building energy efficient homes.

One of the best parts of this new activity is the Christ School community. Mr. Kenneth Youngblood ’49, Bear Smith ’52, and architect Mr. Ken Gaylord P’14, P’15, have all been generous with their time. Mr. Youngblood has provided valuable books and information on the architect, Erle Stillwell, who is responsible for many buildings at Christ School. Mr. Bear Smith spoke to us about his grandfather, Richard Sharp Smith, one of the architects of the Biltmore House, and showed us photographs of its construction. We are looking forward to a trip with Mr. Smith to see the Biltmore House after the holiday break. Mr. Gaylord was helpful in the planning of the program, highlighting the importance of drawing, advice that we have followed by creating floor plans and drawing buildings in one and two-point perspective.

And there is much more to come! There are still several buildings that we plan to visit, such as the

Basilica of Saint Lawrence and the Grove Park Inn. We also plan to do some building design on the computer before the end of the season.

The buildings we create and inhabit help to define who we are as a community; they point to the things that we value. This is evident in the structures at Christ School, whose forms mimic the sloping roof of the chapel and whose rock facades are made from the surrounding mountains that we hold so dear. It is my hope that this program inspires the boys to see architecture as much more than simply walls and roofs, but instead, as art that we move about within, that tells us who we are and where we are in this large world. n

Iconic Chapel Window Gets a Facelift

By Andrew Pearson

Over the years, the Christ Child standing watch in the “Dogwood Window” has been part of thousands of services in St. Joseph’s Chapel. Beams of sunlight have poured through the chancel’s stained glass every morning since it was installed in 1907. This fall it was decided that it was time for the window to be restored to its full glory.

Workers with Cohoes Design Glass Associates were careful to remove all four sections and transported the “Dogwood Window” to their offices in New York. It not only received specialized cleaning for the first time, but structural repair. In early December – in time for the annual Candlelight Service – the restored window, which is 43 inches wide

and 101 inches tall, was returned to its rightful place behind the altar.

Director of Human Resources and Facilities Danny Elmer said “This was long overdue, we like to call it deferred maintenance, and we think we had the right guy do it,” Elmer said.

(Cohoes) has done a lot of work with All Souls Cathedral (in Asheville). They designed and built the 11 newest stained glass windows we have in the chapel.”

Tiffany and Co. artist J.A. Holzer learned about Christ School back in its infancy through his association with founders Thomas and Susan Wetmore. Holzer is credited with designing the “Dogwood Window.” The outstretched arms of the Christ Child are in the foreground, while the terrain in the back incorporates mountains and a blooming dogwood tree. The blossom of the dogwood tree was designated as North Carolina's state flower in 1941. “The Breadth of My Love” is inscribed in text along the bottom of the “Dogwood Window.”

Cohoes president Nigel Johnson personally handled the removal and re-installation of the window. He said that each section was studied scrupulously through photography and rubbings. The determination was then made over which pieces need to be replaced. The face and hands of the Christ Child got special treatment.

Once they dismantled and cleaned the window sections it became clear that the lower portion of the window, including the feet, had been previously damaged and the infill glass that was used to fix it was incorrect. It remains a mystery when this occurred. Luckily, with the help of an old photo from our archives (and research of other Wilson works), they were able to recreate the feet and fix the color of the paint that had been bleached from the North Carolina sun. Finally, the entire window was waterproofed.

According to Johnson “the restoration cleaning has brought vibrancy and subtly back to the window, whose longevity should be greatly assisted with the help of the new addition of the exterior protective glazing.” n

Outdoor Chapel Renovations Made Possible by April’s Auction & Gala Father Kirk Brown remembers there not being much more than a clearing in the woods when he first arrived at Christ School in 1995.

The Outdoor Chapel has come a long way since then. A newly-enhanced, serene worship area for the Greenies, overlooking Christ School’s lake, is one of two major capital improvements to campus that are now ready for use. The Outdoor Chapel was made possible by last April’s “Let the Greenie Times Roll” Auction & Gala, as were new visitors’ bleachers for Fayssoux Field.

“Everyone who sees it is just blown away,” Father Brown said of the Outdoor Chapel. “They just can't believe it.”

The Outdoor Chapel predates Father Brown’s time here at Christ School. But it was little more than an informal place for worship 23 years ago.

There was no altar, nowhere much to sit, and the Outdoor Chapel didn’t even have a cross until 1998. Father Brown's son-in-law, Jeremy Walters ’97, and Father Brown’s daughter, Kate, surprised him with a carved cross one day.

The new Outdoor Chapel has a seating

capacity of about 350 now that an Eagle Scout project by senior Coles Manning ’19 is complete.

The senior added benches to the existing seating which is made of stone.

Father Brown and the Class of 2021 broke in the new Outdoor Chapel in September with a special Form Chapel Service.

“Even though they are only sophomores, you could tell it meant a lot to them, to have this be part of their legacy at Christ School,” Father Brown said. Due to a temperate fall, the entire community was able to enjoy several Eucharist services in the outdoor setting.

“I’m glad that the auction was as successful as it was, and we were able to fully-fund two muchneeded enhancements in both arenas,” Director of Facilities Danny Elmer said. “Nothing had been done in quite a few years to the Outdoor Chapel other than some Eagle Scout projects.

And for our bigger football games the past four to five years, we’ve had to rent bleachers. It’s a nice addition to not have to deal with the logistics of that any more.” n

THE GREAT WAR

By Olga Mahoney

26 TJ Bell ’19 Hale Caffery ’19 Robert Dong ’21 Henry Duggins ’20 Wilton Graves ’21 Parker Groh ’20 Michael Mahoney ’20 Patrick Shea ’20 Wesley Thomas ’22 Peter Zhou ’19 Led by Mrs. Olga Mahoney P’20 and Ms. Emily Pulsifer P’15, 17

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended The Great War, a group of Christ School students and faculty traveled to France and Belgium in late May. Some of the most costly battles in military history were fought between 1914 and 1918 along the Western Front, a meandering line of fortified trenches that stretched for nearly 450 miles. Our group learned about these brutal, interminable battles and explored the region made famous by Lt. Col. John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields.”

We began in Paris at the Musée de l'Armée’s “First World War Centenary Tour.” Exhibits in this solemn retrospective were dedicated to the key players, webs of alliances, heavy militarization, and deep nationalism that sparked the conflict. There were also displays about specific battles which highlighted the devastation and tremendous loss of life as the war dragged on.

From Paris, we traveled by coach to Belgium, the sight of so many pivotal battles in the war, from the earliest engagements around the Ypres Salient, to the watershed Battle of the Somme

in 1916, to the battles around Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele in 1917.

Our first stop on this leg of the tour was in Ploegsteert, the site of the brief “Christmas Truce” of 1914. On that holiday when the war was still young, hundreds of Allied and German soldiers set aside their guns to trade holiday greetings, sing familiar carols, and play a football (soccer) match on the battlefield where they had fought the day before – and where they would resume fighting the next day. Not far from the truce’s memorial, our guide drew our attention to a farm where, in 2016, a young man was killed by an unexploded mine from the Great War; his death, we learned, is listed as the last official casualty of the conflict.

We traveled to the area where British and Commonwealth tunnellers exploded nineteen mines under strategic positions along the Messines Ridge in June 1917. At Hill 60, we saw the remains of bunkers and craters created by those explosions. Then, after lunch at a restaurant perched on the edge of Hooge Crater, we visited the superb Passchendaele Memorial Museum at Zonnebeke, exploring its reconstructed trenches to get a better sense of the despair the soldiers experienced in those grim conditions. Michael Mahoney ’20 reflected, “Rarely through history has there been a more environment-altering tactic than trench warfare. Witnessing these trenches acted as a great reminder of what humans are capable of, and these palpable scars in the earth

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the West Indies, and honors 35,000 others who were never found. Surrounded by rolling pastures and gardens of exquisite beauty, we walked silently through row upon row of simple headstones, stopping to read names and ages of the fallen. All of us felt a deep connection to the young soldiers buried there, many of whom were not much older than our students.

During our stay in Ypres, we walked to the Menin Gate, built to commemorate the 54,896 soldiers of the British Commonwealth who fell in the Ypres Salient but have no known grave.

Every evening since 1928, the town’s fire brigade and other volunteers sound the Last Post as a tribute to the dead. Standing by the Gate during the ceremony, Robert Dong ’21 appreciated how it “was a historical site for us to memorialize the Great War. The Gate showed me a long and painful history of this small town in WWI. I felt and learned more about peace and humanity; we need to build a peaceful world.” Ypres itself was reduced to rubble during the war, but the town’s inhabitants returned to rebuild the entire town, including the distinctive Cloth Hall. The massive building with its Gothic clock tower and gargoyles once housed the town market but now holds the In Flanders Fields Museum.

After two days near Ypres, we traveled to Vimy Ridge in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France.

Remembering

force you to think of war in a new way.”

Traditionally a charming medieval city in the heart of Flemish West Flanders, no battlefield of the Great War saw more intensive fighting than the area around Ypres (locally known as Ipres) in Belgium. As we walked through the beautifully restored city where we stayed for two days, sampling local chocolate and waffles and visiting local museums, it was hard to envision the environment as it was a century ago. This was the area where, during the Second Battle of Ypres, from April 22 to May 25, 1915, Germans used poison gas against the Allies for the first time. It was also the location for the Battle of Passchendaele, named for the ridge to the east of the city. That spring, the entire landscape, a natural floodplain, became a giant quagmire that swallowed artillery and drowned soldiers in their trenches. At the end of that harrowing battle, nearly 500,000 men had died but neither side had advanced. Wilton Graves ’21 noted that “[The Memorial Museum] Passchendaele helped me visualize just how brutal the warfare was in the Great War, and how it scarred so many men for the rest of their lives. It was shocking to me that anyone was able to lead a normal life after the war without completely breaking down.”

Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world, contains the graves of 11,954 soldiers from the UK,

We stopped at two American cemeteries during this portion of the trip: Flanders Field American Cemetery and the Somme American Cemetery. TJ Bell ’19 remarked that “The American cemetery was very beautiful and perfect. It honors the fallen well and allows them to be remembered.” In stark contrast to the American cemeteries we visited with their lush gardens and bright grave markers, the austere German Cemetery at Langemark contains several mass graves and individual plots marked with simple flat stones for nearly 44,000 Germans.

More than 3,000 student volunteers killed in battle in October and November 1914, rest there.

Those young Germans received just six months of training before joining what they thought would be a swift campaign. The inscription on the plaque by their grave reads: “Slaughter of the innocents.”

For our final day, we returned to Paris to tour the Palace of Versailles. After walking throughout the palace and its beautiful gardens, students were in awe of the opulence of the site. One student remarked, “no wonder the peasants revolted.” In a quiet corner not far from the Hall of Mirrors, we paused to consider the complicated questions that confronted those who negotiated the Treaty of Versailles in 1918 – and the ramifications of the agreement’s compromises in the decades that followed.

By visiting battlefields and paying respects to fallen soldiers at memorials and cemeteries, we can better understand and honor those who fought in World War I, the “war to end all wars.” Mrs. Mahoney finds history trips like this one are profound experiences for students.

“Many of the sites are deeply moving. When students engage with the past, they make connections and learn from history in ways that I can’t teach in the classroom.” Peter Zhou ’19 felt that “it was different to see, through my own eyes, the trenches, the tunnels and the NoMan’s Land. I believe scenes like those would only be fixed in my mind as memories once I’ve seen it all, in person.” And Henry Duggins ’21 wrote, “I have a completely different view of the war now because this trip has shown me just how many people it has affected. This trip… showed me the magnitude of the war and how historic and unparalleled it was to … anything else in history.” n

Exploring LAPLAND Reindeer are no longer reserved for just the imagination or storybooks. The Northern Lights are very much real to seven Christ School boys, too, now that they've seen the Aurora Borealis with their own eyes.

And how many people get to say they’ve sent mail postmarked from the official home of Santa Claus?

Greenies who took the “Exploring Lapland” student trip to the northernmost region of Finland experienced all this and more Nov. 16-26.

Each way, the travel to Finland required two days and five different airports. “It was a great trip. We not only saw the beautiful nature, but it was also a trip that made me grow up,” Jack Lee ’21 said.

Upon arrival, the Greenies settled into a log cabin and were immediately surprised at what they didn’t see. According to locals, it was the first time in six decades that Lapland hadn’t been blanketed by snow in late-November. Still, a cloud cover lifted just in time for the Greenies to see the aurora on their first night. They watched the phenomenon aboard a barge on a frozen lake, eating sausages and campfire crepes in between sips of hot chocolate.

Thanksgiving dinner consisted of salmon, reindeer steak, reindeer ribs, and reindeer tongue. The Arctic Circle runs through the Santa Claus Village amusement park where the

boys not only met Santa but wrote postcards to family and friends.

Even though there are only three hours of daylight this time of the year in Finland, the boys got to feed reindeer by hand on a farm.

Wilbanks said that the Greenies also enjoyed their overall interaction with the Sami people, who are indigenous.

“The boys loved to try and use what little Finnish they learned beforehand,” Wilbanks said. “The person teaching them was a Sami man whose family was showcased in the local museum. It was very personalized, very interesting.” n

Although the United States had not yet joined the war in April 1917, some individual Americans participated in this brief but significant chapter in the Battle of Arras, a larger offensive meant to break the stalemate on the Western Front.

After British troops failed to take Vimy several times, Canadians arrived to take the offensive.

For the first time in the nation’s history, all four divisions of the Canadian military fought together to take the ridge after overtaking well-entrenched German machine guns. We visited the site’s museum and reconstructed tunnels before walking to the Canadian memorial on the ridge’s highest point. There, Patrick Shea ’20 observed, “There’s this incredibly human feeling you hold when you walk through trenches where boys not much older than yourself perished.”

Over one million soldiers were killed nearby at the Battle of the Somme.

In fact, it was the largest battle on the Western Front during the First World War, and it is still considered one of the darkest moments in British history. A look at the front-line trenches and memorials gave us insight into the haunting Somme battlefield.

“In Flanders fields the poppies grow; between the crosses, row on row…”

In one of the war’s most celebrated poems, Canadian Lieutenant Colonel and doctor John McCrae penned these lines to honor a lost friend. We visited Essex Farm Cemetery & Dressing Station where we read the poem aloud. Throughout our trip, but in this region especially, we saw fields of red poppies – the symbol of remembrance. Our guide explained the significance of that symbol: soon after the war ended, poppies covered the fields where so many battles had raged, causing many to see them as the natural world’s tribute to the dead.

William David ’21 Wins Boy Scouts’ Rarest Award

By Andrew Pearson

Christ School sophomore William David would be the first to admit that the William T. Hornaday Silver Medal in Conservation is more than an individual honor. Inspiring others to follow his lead may ultimately be the mark that William leaves on Asheville with his community service.

The Boy Scouts of America presented their rarest award, and highest possible for conservation, to William during a formal ceremony in November.

Fewer than 150 Hornaday Silver Medals have been given by the Boy Scouts since the award was created in 1914. Statistically-speaking, the Hornaday Silver Medal is 15,000 times rarer than an Eagle Scout medal. William is only the fourth Scout from North Carolina to win a Hornaday Silver Medal.

Nearly 1,000 volunteers gave more than 2,800 hours of their time to support the long-term initiatives William coordinated. Thousands more people attended the educational and public events he spearheaded.

“I feel enormously grateful to the National Conservation Committee and the Boy Scouts of America for awarding me this honor. There have been so many people that have supported this and selflessly given their time,” William said. “…I found that people absolutely want to help if you take the time to explain ‘why’ and ‘how’ they can help."

All told, William dedicated more than 600 hours over the past three and half years working to these four issues: 1. Recycling hard to recycle items. William helped more than 70 organizations in three states, schools (including three colleges), businesses, and other organizations recycle plastic writing instruments. William also started an electronic waste recycling program that is ongoing.

2. Eastern box turtle conservation. William was part of the Turtle Monitoring Study, entering data into the 100-Year Turtle Study and a presenting data on the importance of the Shrubland Habitat. Educational programming included the Annual Box Turtle Day event at the N.C. Arboretum.

3. Invasive Species Prevention. William was involved in the planting of 88 Eastern Hemlock saplings to help develop resistance to the invasive Woolly Adelgid and to save this foundation species. He completed and presented a study on the Walnut Twig Beetle. William also wrote a blog and designed the scout education materials for the Nature Conservancy’s “Don't Move Firewood” campaign.

4. French Broad Watershed Water Quality Initiative. William and the volunteers removed

trash from multiple tributaries of the French Broad Watershed, installed more than 700 live stakes to prevent erosion and sediment pollution, removed invasive plans to restore the Dingle Creek Watershed, and helped with three research studies. 300 Christ School students and adults assisted with this initiative, resulting in more than 930 service hours.

“William David is an exceptional young man and dedicated Scout, exemplifying what Scouting is all about – character, leadership, and cheerful service,” Scout Executive Joshua Christ said.

“William is only the second Scout in the 98-year history of the Daniel Boone Council to earn this achievement; he has a very bright future in whatever he decides to do, and Scouting is proud to be a part of his overall development.”

The Hornaday Silver Medal is presented by the Boy Scouts, but every candidate’s work is judged by a panel of national conservation experts.

William has also earned 133 merit badges and 14 Eagle Palm Awards through the Boy Scouts.

Recently, he also earned the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest youth award bestowed by the U.S. Congress. William will travel to Washington, D.C. in June 2019 to receive this

award. He earned this honor in part due to his community service work in conservation and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education.

William has previously won two other major conservation awards: the Roosevelt-Ashe Outstanding Youth in Conservation Award and the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship. William has been on Christ School’s High Honor Roll since eighth grade, an Honor Council Representative, and a Headmaster's Scholar. He is a student leader of the FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5854 at UNC Asheville. William co-founded and runs the “Future Builders” STEM mentorship and education program for disadvantaged students.

During the summer of 2018, William was part of the Florida Sea Base High Adventure Marine Conservation service trip, a partnership with the Mote Marine Laboratory. Additionally, he used his Scuba Merit Badge and Open Water Diver Certification to participate in the Coral Conservation Project in Grand Cayman.

William is the second member of his family and second Christ School student to win a Hornaday Silver Medal. His older brother, Bennett ’18, is a Robertson Scholar at Duke University. n

Christ School Fall Theater Innovates at Home and On the Road 32

Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind and Gem

Ethan Park ’23 Aims for Continued Success at Archery

By Donna Wheeler

Christ School Theater was busy with two exciting shows this fall, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind and Gem, an original play by Kobi Selby ’19.

Written by the Neo-Futurists, a Chicago-based improv company, Too Much Light is a zany ensemble experiment that attempts to present “22 Plays in 44 Minutes.” Each two-minute play was performed in random order chosen by an interactive audience.

The onstage 44-minute timer kept everyone honest.

The Neo-Futurist Performing Company members included: Ferguson Dunn ’20, Zack Grella ’19, Tony Hao ’22, Clarke MacDonald ’21, Kobi Selby ’19, and Tom Tang ’21. Lighting and sound artists Max Brodeur ’21 and Tommy Li ’21, along with tech commander Joe Dalton, made up the technical team. Overseeing the production was Mary Dillon, the show’s director.

On November 2-3, a few weeks after their on-campus production of Too Much Light, Christ School Theater ventured to Gardner Webb University to participate in the North Carolina Theater Conference (NCTC) High School Play Festival. High schools from the western and central regions of the state performed 16 shows over the two days. CS’s entry into the competition was the original play, Gem, by Kobi Selby ’19.

The piece was an adaptation of Kobi’s capstone project from an independent study, Social Justice in Performance, presented last May. Kobi reworked the one-man show to include traditional play structure and created three new characters, orphans played

by Clarke MacDonald, Tony Hao, and Tom Tang. Technicians running the show

were William David ’21 (computer technician), Robert Dong ’21 (follow spot operator), and Max Brodeur, master of both lights and sound. The technical director of the show was Joe Dalton, with Mary Dillon directing.

At the end of the festival, Kobi was honored with an Excellence in Writing and Excellence in Acting Award. “The takeaway prize of this experience was the impact the show had on the audience,” said Dillon. “The NCTC on-site representative said, ‘I feel this show has something important to say. I just sat there watching with tears in my eyes.’” At one point during the performance, the audience spontaneously began to snap their fingers in support, and the whole house gave a passionate standing ovation at the end. Throughout the rest of the festival, Kobi and the cast were surrounded by adoring fans, students who were touched by the Kobi’s poetic words and the group’s compelling performance.

For CS’s cast and crew, the festival was a once-in-alifetime experience. n

Three-time North Carolina Archery Champion Ethan Park ’23 first took up archery because it was a sport that he could share with his father. His dad, Dr. Robert Park, got interested in archery after watching the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

When his father began working with renowned archery coach Alexander Kirillov, who has led multiple students to compete at the highest levels, including the Olympics, Ethan tagged along. He got his first bow at age 8 and began competing in 2014 at age 10.

Ethan’s family moved from Arizona to North Carolina when he was 2, shortly after his younger brother, Byron, discovered a scorpion under his blanket. Ethan attended Carolina Day School and then Rainbow Community School. At Carolina Day School, he started a Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) program; he continued to shoot there until he enrolled at Christ School. Having joined Christ School this year in eighth grade, he hopes to do the same here. To give Christ School a taste of the sport, his father and Coach Kirillov, along with Greenie

Assistant Athletic Director Duncan Parham, sponsored an archery enrichment this fall.

Although Ethan played on the JV soccer team this fall, he still practiced archery to stay sharp. “I keep all my stuff inside a case with a bow that’s easy to assemble and disassemble,” said Ethan. Ethan now practices at the newly opened Asheville Archery Training Center, a club dedicated to competition archery near the Outlet Mall on Brevard Road in Asheville.

According to Ethan, archery is more complicated than it looks. “It all depends on the poundage (how many pounds you are pulling when you draw),” said Ethan. “I’ve worked up to 25 pounds.” When he shoots, he hears his father and coach saying, “Shoot your normal shot.”

Otherwise it’s easy to think too much about hitting the bullseye. “If you think that way, your form will fall apart,” said Ethan. Over the years, as Ethan has advanced to new age divisions, the distance from the target has grown as well. “Right now, I’m shooting 60 meters. In the Olympics it’s 70 meters (77 yards or ¾ the length of a football field).”

Although Ethan will be eligible to try out for the 2020 Olympics, he has many tournaments to win between now and then. “My goal is to try to do better and better and to establish a program here at Christ School, because a lot of kids haven’t heard of the sport, but when they see the bow they get interested,” said Ethan. “Archery is a sport that is all about time, precision, and accuracy. If you think that all you have to do is draw back the bow and let go of the string, and it’s always going to land in the middle of the target, then I wish you good luck.” n

Each and every Greenie is distinctive and noteworthy, but here follows a continuation of our series profiling a few of the fine young men we get to teach, coach, mentor, and learn from each day.

TREY AUSTIN ’19

T

YOUNG MEN OF DISTINCTION

wo weeks before his 11th grade year at Christchurch School, a day school in his hometown of Greenville, SC, Trey Austin ’19 informed his parents that he wanted to attend Christ School. He had visited CS the previous spring. “I thought, this place is something special; the community is so much more connected than my old school,” said Trey. Although this came as a shock to both his former school and his parents, Trey stocked up on supplies for a dorm room, re-classed as a 10th grader, and headed up the mountain.

In another two weeks, Trey was one phone call away from returning home when his father learned he was failing Honors Precalculus.

“My dad called me before preseason basketball and said, ‘I’m coming to get you; you are not responsible enough to do this.’ So, I sprinted from the gym to Mr. Krieger’s office.” After a reassuring call from the headmaster, Trey’s dad agreed to give him more time to prove himself.

And with the help of his advisor and teachers, he was able to pull up that grade and has been an Honor Roll student-athlete ever since.

Trey said the freedom of being away and on his own has allowed him to try new things.

Having played basketball and baseball growing up, Trey decided to give track a try. “I’ve always been kind of fast, but I never thought about doing track.” Making that decision to switch spring sports wasn’t easy, but Trey applied a principle which he adopted at Christ School and mentioned in his senior speech: “Be comfortable being uncomfortable.” Fast forward two years to Spring 2018 and Trey’s performance in several relays as well as long jump, triple jump, and high jump helped CS win its first track and field state championship. And while he still loves basketball and hopes to play in college, he was surprised by the comradery he found on the track team.

“Track is really individual, but the coaches – Ashley, Cobb, and Pulsifer – make it like a family,” said Trey. “We all rely on each other and support each other at different events.” Last year he was recognized as an All-Conference and AllState track and field performer.

Trey is also a dedicated student who has taken five AP classes in his three years. A member of the National Honor Society, Trey won first place in the Struan (our journal of art and writing) Writing Competition last year for an essay he wrote for AP Language class in response to reading Between the World and Me by Ta-Nahisi Coates. He believes that without Mr. Kaneft’s encouragement he might not have found his love of writing. “I like to write, but he brought it out of me. He told me that there is nothing to be afraid of in loving to write.”

Trey is an Eagle Scout who regularly participates in community service. His advisor, Coach Long, describes him as “incredibly talented in whatever he chooses to do. He is polite, but self-assured, reliable and considerate.

Though he is talented athletically, he is not one to boast. He is an amazing teammate and a modest human being.”

Although he has received at least one college offer for track, he still has his heart set on playing basketball in college. Wherever he goes, he plans to study sports management and hopes to become an NBA agent. n

yatt Gildea ’19 grew up with a love of reading. And it’s no wonder; his father is the business director at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Cincinnati, OH, and his mother runs the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa. “Our house has over 4000 books.

There are bookshelves everywhere. If we go to buy new furniture, that’s usually what we come back with,” said Wyatt. As early as age three, Wyatt can remember waking up in the middle of the night to pluck another book off the shelf. He believes that all those books might have led him to his current role as one of the senior editors of our literary magazine, the Struan.

Although Wyatt has also taken on leadership roles in Honor Council and as a Servant Leadership Council co-chair, what he is most proud of is the Global Issues Forum (formerly Social Justice Club) that he and Jacob Dowler ’19 founded. Five years ago, it grew out of an informal discussion group started by Father Brown called “Issues to Chew On.” Students and faculty met and discussed current events over pizza. Wyatt and Jacob took that model and started a club with an aim to educate students and faculty “so they can leave the meeting more knowledgeable than when they arrived,” said Wyatt. “We started off with issues from across the globe – Syria and Paris – but then, as students were able to get the big picture idea, it was easier to move into issues that affect our region more directly, such as Hurricane Harvey and the opioid epidemic.”

Wyatt’s role (once again, alongside Jacob) as Servant Leadership Chair complements his work in the Global Issues Forum. “We try to find ways that we can give back to our community.”

This fall they organized the all-school Day of Service on September 11, finding local non-profit organizations that could use help from students and faculty.

Academically, Wyatt’s interests run the spectrum, which could explain why he is so outstanding at Quiz Bowl, an afternoon activity that allows our team to go head-to-head with other schools in a Jeopardy-like format. In fact, for the past two years Wyatt has been the captain of the winning teams in the CS in-house Quiz Bowl tournament. Wyatt said he enjoys “working with teachers in classes that I know will have an impact

WYATT GILDEA ’19

on me.” One of those teachers is Mr. Williams in Honors and AP Biology, “because even though we’d be learning about cells, we would have a discussion about how this is about much more than cells.” Wyatt is a gifted writer who has primarily written poetry, but this year in his Senior Seminar class with his advisor, Mr. Dalton, he is exploring short stories. “I’m trying to get better at fiction and working poetry into it.”

Having spent the last three summers studying at Duke TIP and Davidson July Experience, Wyatt was drawn to classes – like Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Ethics, Forensic Anthropology, and Neuroscience – that have led him down a path toward medicine. He said he’s been interested in medicine and working with patients since middle school. “I’m thinking surgeon-related. I want to be around people and I believe that aspect of healing is really honorable.” In the afternoons, he is an intern at Asheville Head, Neck, and Ear Surgeons, shadowing Dr. Ted Rheney, father of Luke Rheney ’21.

A semifinalist for the Moorhead Cain Scholarship at UNC-Chapel Hill and a nominee for the Robertson Scholarship at Duke, Wyatt said he could be happy on either campus. Northwestern is also on his radar. “It’s right on the coast of Lake Michigan, the architecture is amazing, and it felt like a place that prepares you for being a future leader.” He has applied to a total of 10 schools.

In his down time, Wyatt enjoys the arts, including drawing and playing the piano, which he started in pre-K. “I didn’t take naps – which I regret now – so the music teacher taught me how to play piano,” said Wyatt. “It’s an easy way for me to calm down and take a break.” n

TED PETERSON ’19

T

YOUNG MEN OF DISTINCTION

ed Peterson ’19 always knew that he liked science, but it wasn’t until he took Mr. Williams’s Biotechnology class freshman year that science became his passion. “I’ve always had a very inquisitive mind; I have a lot of questions and the lab is a good place to figure things out,” said Ted. “I like figuring out the procedure and how you are going to answer that question. It’s not something you can look up in a textbook; it’s something you have to go find yourself.”

Ted grew up just outside Asheville in Fairview and followed his older brother Kels ’17, who is now a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill, to Christ School.

In his five years, he has had an active role in the Environmental Club, Rotary Interact Club, and Medical Interest Club. In addition to being named to the National Honor Society, he is a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist, has won the Biology Award twice, and was the recipient of the David T. Dodge Scholarship last May. Everyone at CS knows that Ted is a campus scholar,

but they might not know that while he has been speeding through every math, science, and English class in our curriculum, he has simultaneously been working toward an associate’s degree at AB Tech.

What began as a way to supplement his learning at CS – such as taking Calculus last year to help him with the mathematics he needed in physics – developed into a way of doubling the square feet of academic ground he could cover while taking a demanding schedule at Christ School. If all goes accord to plan, he will receive his A.S. and his Christ School diploma this May. Although he admits that he struggled with his work ethic in the past, Ted said that once he paired his inquisitiveness with some inspiring classes, everything fell into place. “I have two things driving me: a very questioning mind and the need to learn about things I’m interested in.” Ted lives by an adage repeated by mathematics instructor Mr. Harris – “Education is what’s left when you forget everything”– and he’s not afraid to venture into that territory. According to his advisor and former science teacher, Mr. Williams, “Ted is blessed with an uncommonly able brain that has grown to an uncommonly fine mind. He has a powerful intellect with no discernable limits, but more, he has grown to great empathy as well, with a pool of acceptance of others that surprised even him, leading to realizable dreams of helping mankind by actualizing his own blend of disciplines.” Ted is already tapping that wellspring of empathy and intelligence this year, serving as a lab assistant in various science classes.

When he’s not in the lab or the classroom, Ted enjoys fishing at his family’s place in Charleston, SC, where he catches inshore redfish, trout, flounder, and sharks. He also has a regular gig as a dishwasher at Hickory Nut Gap Farm in Fairview, NC. “Washing dishes and working is something I enjoy because it’s kind of meditative and tangible.

I complete a task, I put in eight hours, and it feels good, because a lot of times at school it’s a continuous stream of work and seems never-ending.

To go and do honest work and be part of something greater than me, like working at an event and meeting interesting local people, that means a lot.”

Ted hopes to study Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, where he was admitted Early Decision. “Biomed is a very broad, all-encompassing field, but I think the two things I’m really interested in are developing medicines and artificial prosthetics.” n

hen Michael Wang ’19 joined our community three years ago, he was looking for new challenges and ways to engage. “I wanted to improve in making decisions, being a leader, and getting stronger mentally and physically,” said Michael. And while he claims that he chose to leave his home in China and travel 30 hours to our campus to improve himself, the consensus is that Michael, with his special gift of forging friendships and bridging cultures, has done as much, if not more, to improve the Christ School community. Michael’s advisor, Mr. Mohney, said, “Michael is a great ‘uniter.’ He does not belong to any one group of boys; he belongs to them all and they all belong to him.”

Michael radiates strength and confidence and a kind of warmth that wins everyone over, from the 8th and 9th graders in Cuningham, where he serves as a prefect, to his teammates on the football and track teams. Michael speaks of discovering a kind of calling while he has been here. “I came here to improve myself, but after I arrived, I discovered another goal: to build bridges between the Chinese and Americans.”

Joining the football team – a sport he had never encountered in China – proved to be a challenging, yet ultimately rewarding, step towards Michael’s growth. “We don’t have team sports back in my high school, so I decided to try it here.” He also ran cross country and throws discus in track. Michael found that the lessons he learned in sports have applied to other aspects of his life. “Athletic ability is one thing, but the other thing is mental toughness. Playing football is really hard – it takes a lot of time and dedication; I thought of quitting” said Michael, “but I’m glad I stuck with it because it’s a fun sport and the mental toughness I’ve learned applies to other scenarios in life; you can choose to give up, or you can push through and finish.” According to Coach Langford, “the thing that impressed me the most about Michael was his great effort; every time he was on the game field or practice field, he gave his all. He was what you look for in a teammate: always happy for the team’s success.”

Michael has also made a point of participating in community service. “Service-wise I have done everything: MANNA Food Bank, River Link, Rotary Interact Club, and Environmental Club,”

MICHAEL WANG ’19

said Michael. Furthermore, he has founded two clubs: Calligraphy Club last year and the “Barbell Brigade” (along with friend Charles Redhead ’19) this year.

A natural at math and science, Michael decided to balance his schedule with courses that would help him improve his communication skills in English. This year, in addition to AP Biology and AP Statistics, he takes AP English Language and Composition, Public Speaking, and Journalism. He is a member of the National Honor Society and was the Yale Book Award recipient last May. Last summer, back home in China, Michael worked alongside undergraduate students and professionals at the Qingdao Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center, doing experimental research to make it possible to grow rice in extremely acidic and basic soil, and thus enhance global food security.

Although several CS families have hosted Michael during breaks over the years, he has found a home away from home with Hase Cooper’19 and his family. Michael was lucky enough to join the Coopers on a trip to Mexico last February, and Hase visited Michael over the summer in China, where they visited Qingdao, Beijing, and Chendu.

This kind of unofficial international exchange inspires Michael to dwell on the significance of bridging cultures. “As an international student you are here not only for your academics, but for everything; you should make friends and talk with other guys, because the knowledge you learn should not always be from the book,” said Michael. “It should be from your life, too.” n

New Leadership, Continued Success A year after the varsity team qualified for the NCISAA DI playoffs for the first time, the Greenies finished 10-2 and made it to the DI State Championship game with superb guidance from new Head Coach Tommy Langford.

Throughout the season, the Greenies offense was magnificent, scoring nearly 500 points on the season with quarterback Navy Shuler ’20 and wide-receiver Kaedin Robinson ’19 leading the way. Navy was among the nation’s leaders in passing yards, throwing for over 4000 yards and 40 touchdowns, while Kaedin, finished in the top five in the country with 1700 yards and 22 receiving touchdowns. The Greenies were led defensively in the season by Keyvaun Cobb ’19 and Read Sunn ’20. Keyvaun finished second in the nation with 11 interceptions on the season, but he also played running back on the offensive side of the ball.

Read, on the other hand, led the team in tackles with an impressive 140 on the season.

After a narrow defeat to Episcopal High School from Houston, TX, early in the season, the Greenies rattled off a nine-game winning streak heading into the State Championship game. Prior to the playoffs, however, the Greenies played in the 93rd meeting of “The Game,” the oldest football rivalry in the Carolinas, and defeated Asheville School in dominant fashion, 48-0. With that win, the Greenies have bested the Blues for seven consecutive years. The Greenies finished the season with the DI State Championship game against the two-time defending state champion, Charlotte Christian, and trailed just 16-14 with minutes left in the second half. The Knights’ size and sheer numbers, however, ended up being too great for the Greenies, who would receive the state runner-up trophy for the fourth time in six years. n

Greenies with Grit The 2018 Christ School Cross Country season started HOT with a meet at Rabun Gap at the end of August with the temperature over 90 degrees. The boys ran strong despite the heat and the difficult North Georgia terrain. The grit the Greenies showed in this tough race kept them running strong throughout the season.

The team was led by the one-two punch of Andrew Hammel ’20 and Joseph Visconti ’20. The hard work these boys put in during the summer was evident from the first day of preseason in midAugust to the final meet in late October. Andrew and Joseph finished 2nd and 5th respectively in the Eye Opener Invitational in Spartanburg, and then 1st and 4th in the Buncombe County Championships at Asheville Christian Academy to make All-Buncombe. Hammel set a course record at the meet, running 15:46. These two continued their strong performances, ending the season with 1st and 2nd at the CAA Championships, and 2nd and 3rd at the NCISAA 4A State Cross Country Championships. The boys garnered All-Conference and All-State recognition for these efforts.

Kilian Mittermeier ’21, Miles Gardner ’20, Jack

Cross ’22, William Saye ’20 and Conner Rowe ’22 were strong varsity performers throughout the season, but all five saved their best performances for the NCISAA 4A State Meet. With rain falling in torrents throughout the day, the Christ School runners showed their grit and mettle by plowing through 3.1 miles of mud and water to finish more than 30 places higher than their pre-race seeds.

Overall, the team placed 5th, seven places higher than pre-race rankings projected – and the highest team finish at the NCISAA State Meet since 1990.

Many underclassmen show promise for the future, including Thomas Doss ’20, Cade Rodriguez ’21, Sam Jarrett ’22 and Jackson Bewley ’20, but one veteran deserves special recognition. Senior Doug Bland has been a committed member of the Cross Country Program throughout his Christ School career. During his first season, he was plagued with aches and pains in his knees, but he refused to let them keep him from earning – and holding – a spot in the team’s top 10 for four years. One of the most ferocious trainers on the team, Doug was a fantastic captain and role model for younger runners. His coaches will miss his leadership next year. n

The 2018 Varsity Soccer team went 7-9-1 during the season and 4-2 in the CAA. Though the coaching staff of Guy Campbell ‘00, Daniel Shaw ’13, and Caleb Sonneland felt the group missed opportunities and fell short of its potential, there were valuable lessons learned about teamwork, commitment, and personal responsibility.

Fortunately, sports – and soccer in particular – consistently present situations where this kind of personal and group development can occur.

Multiple talented seniors who have been steady contributors will be moving on next fall, but the returning underclassmen will be ready for the challenge of competing in the ultra-competitive

4A State classification (two teams in the classification ranked first in the country in 2018).

“This year’s group played some great soccer but just couldn’t get the ball to bounce our way in the important games,” said Coach Campbell. “We played a brand of soccer that is sustainable, but we need to start figuring out how to score goals.

Being more competitive on an everyday basis and scoring more goals will be our focus in the 2019 season.” n

VARSITY SOCCER

In the last week of October, with no blue in sight, Christ School rallied school spirit. During the week-long buildup to the game, the seniors won the fourth annual Student/Faculty Basketball Game. There were themed Spirit Days, banners hanging from each dorm, pranks, and a towering bonfire.

After a chilly and rainy Friday night, the sun came out just in time for the Parent Council Tailgate, a magnificent buffet spread under a tent on the Stoltz Hall patio. The Greenies took to the field and, cheered on by parents, alumni, and friends, dominated, once again earning the right to keep the Fayssoux-Arbogast Trophy another year.

A Storied Tradition Continues with Greenie Dominance On a cool October afternoon, students, faculty, alumni, and parents converged on Richard Fayssoux Field to witness the 92nd meeting of “The Game.” In the first matchup in 1911, Asheville School shut out Christ School to the tune of 84-0. In 2018, the Greenies returned the favor, defeated the Blues, 48-0, with an incredible team performance.

45 47 The Greenies asserted their dominance early. After forcing the Blues to punt, the Greenies methodically moved down the field before Keyvaun Cobb ’19 ran for 24 yards to score the first touchdown. Henry Duggins ’20 kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 with 6:02 left in the first quarter. Just minutes later, after a fumble recovery by Ross Oakley ’19, Keyvaun scored again, this time from 31 yards out, and Christ School took a 14-0 lead into the second quarter.

Keyvaun continued to impact the game with an interception on the opening play of the second quarter. Back on offense, Kaedin Robinson ’19 and Navy Shuler ’20 connected for a 10-yard aerial score. A second fumble recovery by Ross on the Blues’ next possession set the Greenies up for a pass to Aydan White ’20 in the end zone. The first half must have seemed endless for the Blues when Navy found Brandon Stone ’19 for yet another touchdown with 5:13 still on the clock.

In perhaps the most exciting play of the game, Asheville School lined up for a field goal with just 12 seconds left in the first half. A muffed hold was picked up by defensive end Kiki Alcime ’20, who, with the protection of his Greenie teammates, ran 83 yards for the fumble recovery touchdown. The play culminated with a “Philly Special” two-point conversion catch by Navy.

When the second half began, Christ School led 42-0, but Dillon Tarves ’20 tacked on a final touchdown in the third quarter to secure the win. Hoisting the Fayssoux-Abrogast Trophy after the game, the team had big plays and consistent teamwork to celebrate on both sides of the gridiron, especially from the Greenie defense which held the Blues to fewer than 60 yards for the game. Though the overall series remains in the Blues’ favor, 50-37-4, the Greenies have made great strides, winning seven-straight and securing 14 of 18 since 2000.

THE PLANS WE MADE FIVE YEARS AGO TO BEGIN A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN AND RAISE $20 MILLION WERE AS NECESSARY AS THEY WERE AMBITIOUS.

beyond the gate house CAMPAIGN WRAP-UP

I am proud to share that we have exceeded our original goal, and generous donors have given nearly $26 million for the school’s facility and endowment needs. To simply say that it was a team effort would be falling short – it was a total community effort from the very beginning. This outstanding achievement will be an integral part of Christ School’s future and one that will serve the Christ School boys of today and tomorrow. Our sincerest “thank you” goes out to each and every Christ School constituency: alumni, parents, faculty, and friends, all of whom have enabled us to reach our goal. Our success now puts Christ School among the nation’s top schools and allows our boys to enjoy and benefit from the finest facilities, faculty, and opportunities, whether in the dorm, in the classrooms, or on the playing fields.

Together, we celebrate our collective effort and acknowledge our shared values of this beloved institution. Christ School is now stronger and well positioned for its future. The Campaign has given us much in terms of support and we appreciate every gift regardless of size. We move forward, knowing that the support you provide will inspire others to continue supporting Christ School and its boys.

Thank you again for your generosity, support, and kindness.

Paul M. Krieger Headmaster

NEWLY ESTABLISHED SCHOLARSHIPS The Class of 1968 Scholarship Members of the Class of 1968, Hagood Ellison, Ted Stoney, Alan Davis, Bruce Woodward, Brent Ogilvie, and Albert Matheny, recognize the importance of a strong endowment. With this in mind, they decided to establish a named scholarship honoring their class year as well as challenge other classes to follow their example. They succeeded in raising in excess of $100,000, thus becoming the largest fiftieth reunion gift in the history of the School.

The Class of 1973 Scholarship Fund in Memory of John Harris, Jay Mebane, and Bobby McWhorter The idea behind establishing this new scholarship was the brainchild of Steve Baumrucker. During a lunch meeting with Director of Alumni Dan Stevenson, the two of them strategized over several opportunities for the Class of 1973 to renew class spirit and raise support for Christ School. No idea seemed more appealing to Baumrucker than a way to honor the memory of Class of 1973 members John Harris, Jay Mebane, and Bobby McWhorter. He believed this was such a compelling idea that other classmates would want to participate – and they did! Along with Baumrucker, Dick Jennings, Phil Safriet, Elton Wright, John Heinitsh, John Campbell, Rick Toomey, John Edwards and Bob Twomey reached their $100,000 goal.

Joseph Tooke Massey, Jr. Scholarship Fund Established to Honor Urq Chin Joe Massey ’65 has chosen to make a substantial gift to Christ School through a bequest in his will. His gift will establish the Joseph Tooke Massey, Jr. Scholarship Fund in honor of former Christ School Choir Master Urq Chin.

As a student at Christ School, Joe was awed by the experience of assisting Mr. Chin as he played the organ. From this experience, Joe developed a lifetime love of playing the organ, so much so he has one in his Atlanta home. Joe continues to play for Episcopal churches and he has played in St. Joseph’s Chapel for the Memorial Service during Alumni Weekend.

This scholarship will assist students who demonstrate financial need, academic excellence, and an interest in and aptitude for playing the organ. We are grateful for Joe’s thoughtful and generous bequest which will not only help the students who will receive the scholarship, but also help Christ School grow our endowment.

If you are inspired by Joe’s story and wish to discuss your own planned gift, please contact Betsy Ellis in the Advancement Office at 828.684.6232 extension 115. We would love to hear from you!

million campaign that achieved more than 130% of its original goal. With gifts totaling over $26.7 million, Christ School recognized the many transformative achievements during the past five years as well as the volunteers, board members, faculty, staff and donors who made this campaign such a remarkable success.

Angelus Society members enjoyed music, cocktails, dinner and a video that thanked donors for their support through generous gifts.

Jeff Hudak ’10 Aids in Hurricane Relief Three days and 26.3 hours of flying. Seven loads of supplies weighing 2,700 pounds.

Jeff Hudak ’10 put his skill as a pilot to benevolent use in October, delivering relief supplies to those affected by Hurricane Michael.

As part of “Operation Airdrop,” the Christ School alumnus saw unimaginable scenes of devastation in the Florida Panhandle. The death toll from Michael was close to 50 people.

“They needed a multi-engine pilot and I thought it was a great opportunity to help people,” Hudak said.

“We were based out of Gainesville (FL), so all the supplies were there, and we took them to different locations around the Panhandle.

I’ve gotten some good pictures (that Hudak shared through his personal social media). One moment I remember in particular was around the Calhoun County area. There was an area full of trees where about half of them were knocked over. It looked like a bomb went off.

Hudak is licensed to fly commercial multiengine and single-engine planes. He also has an instrument rating, which allows pilots to fly in weather with reduced visibility (rain, low clouds, and heavy haze). After serving as a flight instructor in Raleigh, Hudak moved to West

Palm Beach, FL, in July. He began work with Piedmont Airlines in November.

How did Hudak become a pilot?

“I wanted to do the military for a while and lost interest in that. I was studying physics at Appalachian State, but I didn't want to be in a lab,” Hudak said. “I mentioned being a pilot to my professor and he said that would be a great career for me. So once I decided to go that route, I found a flight school where I could get all the ratings I needed. It's very much a full-time job. A day for me can go from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.”

Hudak credits Christ School for helping steer him to his career path.

“The thing I noticed the most was the lifestyle.

Christ School really instilled discipline,” Hudak said. “That regiment was fantastic, especially when I got in college and I was around guys who had no direction. Christ School gives it to you, and really got me started on figuring out what I wanted to do.”

Hudak is seeing that pilots with a Christ School connection are a tight-knit community.

David Singhas ’12 and Thomas Mackie ’12 attended the same flight school as Hudak, while Rhyne Jones ’13 is also flying out of Florida. n

Plan a

Future Gift to Christ School

Have you considered the power of a planned gift in your own estate plans?

Designating Christ School as a primary beneficiary for an IRA requires no probate through court upon your death, and can save your family unnecessary income taxes.

Here’s an example of how a direct IRA gift works. If you bequest $25,000 from your IRA to Christ School as a primary beneficiary, then Christ School receives the entire sum of $25,000.

If you bequest the same distribution to your family via your IRA, then that gift must pay 33% in federal and state income taxes leaving your family only $16,750. Gifts of IRAs to your family equal less money than would a designated percentage or amount left to them in your will.

Designating Christ School as a primary beneficiary of all, or just a percentage, of your

IRA or other retirement plan may be the best way to make a testamentary gift.

You can also make current gifts through your IRA. If you are age 70 ½ or older, you can make a gift each year from your IRA up to $100,000 tax-free to a qualified charitable organization such as Christ School! If this distribution is made directly to Christ School, it is not included in your income and you avoid income tax on Social Security benefits.

Your gift can directly impact Christ School’s general endowment, or you could possibly name your own endowed fund. Although we are not financial planners, and we encourage you to talk with yours, we are happy to have a confidential conversation about your interest in designating Christ School as a beneficiary within your estate plan. n

It may have been cold and rainy Friday evening, but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or appetite of the alumni, faculty, and staff who attended Beast and Barrel, hosted by the Alumni Council to usher in Asheville School Weekend.

T

The brainchild of Alumni Council president Richard Haake ’87, a chef, caterer, and event planner who recently moved from the West Coast to Arden, NC, Beast and Barrel was modeled after an event at a winery he worked with in Napa, CA. “Open-fire cooking is really popular right now,” said Haake, “and I conceptualized it and shared the idea with Alumni Council.” What started out as a simple pig roast, harkening back to an annual event during Alumni Weekend when Haake was a student, turned into a feast featuring open-fire cooking and barrel-aged libations.

The straw barn at Tommy Westfeldt’s ’70 local home in Fletcher, The Grange, served as an ideal location for this rustic fest, featuring not only suckling pig, but also oysters – raw and grilled – roasted chicken and, courtesy of Haake’s brotherin-law Sean Haines ’87, a huge pot of steaming Brunswick Stew. “It was so cold and rainy that day,” said Haake. “We served that pot first and everyone crushed it.”

The hope is that this will become a bi-annual event, taking place every year we host The Game.

“Part of our goal is to bring back the younger alumni and I think this is the type of event that will do that.” According to Eric Thorp ’01, who was in attendance, “The Beast and Barrel is a great addition to the Asheville School Weekend schedule of events. Organized and run by alumni, with support from the Advancement Office, it is an event that will appeal to alumni across the generations.”

After Haake and his wife, Virginia, had their 5-year-old son Bo, they moved east to be closer to family in Georgia, and it just so happens that their dream house was right down the road from CS. “I wasn’t trying to move next to campus; it just happened that way,” said Haake. “We moved here for the climate, the mountains, the craft beer, and food scene.”

After 20 years in the industry, Haake hung up his chef hat when he moved back east, allowing him to spend more time with family. “I’m still dialed into the restaurant scene and I still love to cook,” said Haake. Now he recruits for local restaurants that include Benne on Eagle, Bouchon, and Vinnie’s Italian. Son Bo is in the Spanish immersion program at Glen Arden School and on track to be a member of Christ School’s Class of 2032. n
