"BOYS WILL BE THE BOYS

When we began school in mid-August, Orientation for all students covered a wide range of topics including school history, peer relationships, living a purposeful life, pornography, spirituality, self-control, and selfadvocacy. Throughout two days of presentations and discussion, we kept returning to two vital questions: “What does it mean to be a teenage boy who is becoming a man?” and “What are the challenges of dealing with one’s masculinity?”

One challenge is defining the very word “masculinity,” a word that too often has become associated with toxicity. Media and activists would have you believe that being male is inseparable from the more negative traits of aggression, physicality, risk taking, impulsivity, argumentativeness, and defiance. In excess, any of these have the potential of becoming toxic, but in moderation they can help a young man grasp hold of and conquer success. Not in a Rambo-like way, but rather more like John Wayne, a quieter, more emotionally balanced man who was humble, kind, strong, and helpful to the weak and needy.

Christ School emphasizes that being a true man means thinking beyond your selfish needs to pursue service to others. It means using your strength and power for positive change, and using your voice and argumentative skills to fight for justice. It also means offering care and

support to your friends, family, and those in need. It means keeping your accomplishments to yourself. It means trying harder when you lose your path. It means having faith in humanity when everything around you is sinking quickly. It means learning to be resourceful, resilient, and demonstrating selfrestraint. It means, when you are climbing a steep mountain, you celebrate the challenge and press toward your goal, but when you stumble into a valley and the peak disappears from view, you do not drift or lose focus.

Instead, you recalculate, problem-solve, and redirect your energy to reach the summit.

We believe these patterns of living and thinking separate caring, compassionate men from their counterparts – brazen, impulsive boys. We know that every boy has the potential to temper negative toxicity into a positive, meaningful adulthood.

Christ School welcomes the joys and challenges of guiding boys through their formative high school years. As a community, we give our students our full, authentic attention as they take on the academic, social, and emotional challenges that will shape their futures. We do this to honor the trust our parents have placed in us and to convey our deep faith in the impact young, service-driven men can make on our fractured world. n

by Douglas Gibson

The Asheville area is known for its mountain scenery and its ample opportunities for hiking, swimming, and otherwise getting out into nature. What do you do, though, if you want to take your experience up a level? Whether you’re after the thrill of zipping across a mountain cove, swinging on ropes several stories above a forest floor, or climbing up a rock face under your own power, the area around Asheville boasts plenty of opportunities to turn a family outing into an expedition.

Ziplines!

For thrill-seekers of all ages, Buncombe County boasts one of the best zipline adventures in the country in Navitat, located on 250 heavily wooded acres a half hour north of Asheville.

Navitat features 3600-foot-long ziplines that get visitors zooming up to 65 miles an hour while they take in spectacular mountain views.

As exciting as the rides are, Navitat also prides itself on its educational component.

“The name Navitat is a mashup of ‘navigating your habitat,’” says Ken Stamps, one of the partners behind the facility. Accordingly, along with the thrill of flying, Navitat’s zipline tours offer participants an interpretive educational

program about the forest, its ecosystems, and the trees themselves. “When people are out of their comfort zone,” Stamps says, “their minds open up.”

For those afraid of heights or physically unable to zipline, Navitat also offers “shadow tours” that take visitors along the ground via RTV and allow them access to the zipline platforms so they can remain part of the action.

Still, the ziplines are, simply, rides. “This is not a skill activity,” Stamps says, adding that this offers families a level playing field. “Parents are going to see strength in children, children are going to see weakness in parents. It’s about just letting go, and it’s truly a bonding activity.”

Treetop Adventure!

For those looking for adventure closer to downtown, one of the best bets is the Asheville Treetop Adventure Park in West Asheville. A purely recreational experience that nevertheless allows for personal growth and family support, the Treetop Adventure Park offers some easy courses, some intermediate courses, and some “ninja warrior”-level courses for the most adventurous.

“The fact that there are so many choices makes the Adventure Park work really well for all families and abilities,” says course co-owner Jeff Greiner.

Course elements are also designed to represent Asheville and the mountains, with challenges like a rock-climbing wall, a rock-hopping river crossing, an aerial kayak, and a snowboard zipline. The surrounding Asheville Adventure Center also features more ziplines (including a KidZip course aimed at younger visitors) and a mountain bike park.

“It’s both physically active and confidencebuilding. Not only for the children but for the parents,” Greiner says, adding, “The pride parents show in their child’s accomplishments is cool to see.”

Rock Climbing!

Ropes courses and ziplines may still leave some people cold. For them, there’s the challenge of rock climbing, and Asheville has a lot to offer on this score as well. Climbmax, one of the oldest climbing gyms in the country, has two locations

in Asheville, one downtown and one just off the French Broad, near the River Arts District.

Both locations feature outdoor climbing opportunities, including downtown’s famous 40-foot climbing wall, but for those in the mood for adventure when the weather makes the outdoors less attractive, both locations also offer extensive indoor climbing opportunities, with the river location focusing on top-rope, belaying-type activities and the downtown location focused on bouldering.

Both sites also offer a beginner’s instructional package that includes training from an expert guide, and Phil Whitlock, Climbmax’s general manager, says that families can gain a great deal from being beginners together. “Trust building is a huge element in climbing,” he says, “and the relationship-building aspect of it is pretty intense.

You can be supportive with each other through the whole process.”

For those with climbing experience looking for a more natural setting, Climbmax can also provide guides and equipment for outings to local climbing sites. In fact, Whitlock says, he’s provided beginner instruction to a number of people who have gone on to become dedicated rock climbers. “We’ve introduced people to climbing and it’s had such a profound effect on them that they’ve gone on to become involved in the industry.” So, be warned: seeking out adventure in Asheville may leave everyone in your party hungry for more. n

Jim Dator ’51 loves the view of Waikiki Beach from his ninth-floor condo. It’s a view of Honolulu and Hawaii that has changed significantly since he bought the place in 1969. It’s also half a world away from Christ School, where Dator graduated almost 70 years ago.

A WORLD OF

ENCE

by Isaac Rankin

“I have never returned for a visit, even though I have traveled almost all over the world many times subsequently.” And yet Dator values the impact Christ School has had on his life.

Rooted in an Episcopalian’s work ethic and the moral and academic education discovered on this campus, Dator’s core and foundation have guided him as he lectured at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, from Oxford University in England to King Il Sung University in North Korea. Christ School set his course as a scholar who has relentlessly pursued solutions to some of the world’s most formidable challenges.

Jim Dator is considered a founding father and pioneer in the academic field known as Futures Studies. Most of his work concerns documenting and dissecting change and time.

In 1967, at Virginia Tech, Dator designed and taught what is widely accepted as the very first course in Futures Studies. More than 50 years

10

after he taught that inaugural class, Springer Press published a collection of his scholarship entitled Jim Dator: A Noticer in Time. Released in 2018, the book features essays and articles beginning in 1967 and ending with recently completed writings from the 86-year-old professor emeritus at the University of HawaiiManoa. But what exactly does it mean to be a great noticer in time? Dator will be the first to tell you he is not in the business of predicting the future.

Futures Studies is an academic and applied field that forecasts what Dator refers to as “alternative futures.” According to Dator, the future cannot be predicted, but alternative, preferred futures “can and should be envisioned, implemented, revised, re-envisioned [and] continuously evaluated.”

Despite such a grand purpose, Futures Studies is quite practical. And what does that practical application look like? Take Dator’s assessment

the future cannot be predicted, but alternative, preferred futures “can and should be envisioned, implemented, revised, re-envisioned [and] continuously evaluated.”

of the future of tourism in his Hawaiian home, for example. His essay, “Tourism in Hawaii 1776-2076,” explores the past, present, and future of Hawaiian tourism, with an emphasis on looking at the ways technological and environmental change and reduced energy resources have and will impact the islands (challenges that Dator has long warned about).

A common theme emerges in this article and all of Dator’s work: where problems exist, humans are “faced with an extraordinary opportunity for creativity and innovation.”

His essay explores plausible alternatives to the island’s economic dependence on tourism.

He specifically emphasizes the significance of agriculture and the opportunity to utilize Hawaiian land and sea resources for other purposes. Futures Studies accepts the constant impact of “tsunamis of change,” and Dator seeks to present solutions that prepare Hawaii, and the world, to surf those powerful waves.

During his two years at Christ School, Jim Dator was an excellent student who earned the Headmaster’s Cup. He grew up in and around Deland, FL, where his mother taught music at Stetson University and other educational institutions. Dator’s younger half-brother, Bill Dubose ’61, also attended Christ School.

Like many in his family, Jim Dator was told he would go to boarding school to finish high school. He chose Christ School over Admiral Farragut Academy, a military school, because an Episcopal education sounded more appealing to an Episcopal boy.

Elected class president during his senior year, Dator admits he has no recollection of what motivated him to run for office. Dator believes Christ School improved his study habits and prepared him for future academic success. Other aspects of school life profoundly influenced him and his later scholarship. He remembers fondly organist and choirmaster

Urquhart Chinn, and the way in which Christ School’s spiritual component (he served as Sacristan his senior year) shaped his character and intellectual concerns. “I deepened my interest in the ethical bases of life; ideas about ‘the good life’ and the role of governance in enabling it from Plato to the then-present, with special focus on St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, the creation of the Church of England and the Episcopal Church, Marx, and Toynbee. These ethical (not moral) concerns form the foundation of Futures Studies as I came to understand it.”

Beyond his spiritual and philosophical interests, Dator also benefited from the quintessential Christ School experience that has defined the school since its founding. “A main focus of Christ School was to instill the glory of labor in each of the boys by keeping

Pennsylvania and then earned his doctorate in the same field at The American University.

Fittingly, Dator’s doctoral dissertation focused on assessing the history of governance of the Episcopal Church in the United States. Fifty years after Dator finished his dissertation, national leaders in the Episcopal Church discovered and published his work in support of their efforts to prevent schisms between regional dioceses and the national church.

After earning his doctorate, Dator pursued post-doctoral work at several universities, including Virginia Theological Seminary, Yale University, the University of Michigan, and Southern Methodist University. Dator’s first full-time job was in the College of Law and Politics of Rikkyo University in Tokyo. He taught there (in Japanese) for six years before returning to the United States to begin his life’s

ourselves, our rooms, and the dining hall tables spotless.” Boys who ignored their duties and responsibilities “got the bird,” which meant they had to spend part of the afternoon in some kind of hard labor. Dator recollects, “Until I learned how to avoid the bird, I spent some time digging the foundation for a new dormitory in which I later lived.” Although Dator questioned his punishment at the time, he recognizes how it ultimately shaped him.

“There is no doubt that the emphasis on the nobility of hard work and puritanical selfreliance was strongly reinforced by my two years at Christ School. It has served me very, very well until this very day.”

Christ School was the beginning of Dator’s fascinating and far-flung journey around the globe, which lasted some seven decades.

After graduating from Stetson University with a degree in Ancient and Medieval History and Philosophy, Dator completed a master’s in Political Science at the University of

work at Virginia Tech and then the University of Hawaii-Manoa (UHM). For almost 50 years, he served at UHM as Professor of Political Science and Director of the Hawaiian Research Center for Futures Studies.

Considering his long tenure and remarkable contributions to the field of Futures Studies, and his collaboration with scholars all over the world, Dator’s contributions are extraordinary.

However, there is one project of which he is especially proud. From 1983-1993, Dator served as Secretary General and then President of the World Futures Studies Federation, the global epicenter of Futures Studies work.

During that time, Dator visited about 50 countries and almost every Communist state – including North Korea. As he recalls, “I was invited by people in those countries who did not like the future they saw lying ahead of them and wanted me to talk with them and others about alternative futures. As a consequence, I got to meet with presidents and

other heads of state and the Communist Party, as well as ordinary people, and hear about their images of the future. I learned how specific future images are to people’s culture, history, language, and specific situation.”

Dator believes his work played a role in the successful efforts to end Communism without bloodshed (he was in the prescient minority that foresaw the peaceful fall of Communism).

But in the aftermath, he regrets that we failed to ask and assess the important question: “What’s next? What happens AFTER you get what you say you want? I am both proud of the role I helped play in the collapse of Communism, and deeply saddened that I didn’t know it was more important to focus on what comes next, than just on when the present will be destroyed.”

Beyond his work at the University of Hawaii and the World Futures Studies Federation, Dator has travelled and taught far and wide. He served as a Core Lecturer at the International Space University in France for 15 years, and Adjunct Professor at the Graduate School of Futures Strategy at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology for over a decade. Over the last twenty years, Dator has co-authored or edited eight books and more than 60 articles on wide-ranging topics, including democracy, nanomaterials, gaming, rural Romania, higher education, and space migration and colonization.

Despite not returning to Christ School since 1951, Dator stays apprised of his alma mater through reading this very publication, receiving updates from his brother, and watching the occasional livestream of Christ School football games. He supports the Christ School Fund and has done so for as long as he can remember. During his two years at Christ School, Dator lettered in varsity football, worked as a reporter for The Christ School News and editor of the Angelus, and sang in the school choir.

Dator’s most memorable experience at Christ School was his role in an extraordinary rescue mission during the winter of 1950. As documented in the December 1950 edition of The Christ School News, Dator was one of a group of Christ School students and faculty members who rushed to the scene of a plane crash on nearby Burney Mountain. There, a US Navy plane, pounded by intense rain, had gone off course in an attempt to land at a local airport. According to The Christ School News, “The plane hit a tree on the west side of Burney and the impact threw the plane out of control, sending it down the mountain to the ground. So great was the force of the impact that the plane burst instantly into flames.”

Although three members of the crew were killed in the crash, Dator and the other Christ School volunteers were able to rescue one crewmember.

As Dator recalls, “We somehow made a kind of stretcher, perhaps out of our jackets, and carried him down the mountain, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. By the time we got to the base, there were fire and policemen who took over from there.” Even after almost 70

“As I think about it, the most mysterious thing about all of our interchanges is that you sent me a copy of the CS News with my mother's address label on it.

This is a coincidence beyond belief!”

years, Dator remembers the miserable, cold night in December when the Christ School squad went out on its mission. Because of a recent football injury and minor foot surgery, Dator started out on crutches. “Some of the boys asked me how I could possibly have trudged up and down that mountain in no pain. I didn’t know. It could be the bitter cold numbed the wound. It could be that my superhuman efforts left no time for pain. It could be that I was a wimp who didn’t really need the crutches after all.”

The US Navy was impressed with Christ School’s efforts to aid their downed plane. Lt. Commander T.E. Williamson sent the following letter to Headmaster David P. Harris: “I wish to express the Navy’s appreciation for the most commendable action on the part of your students and faculty in assisting the removal of S.T. Corson AMM3, U.S.N. from the Naval Plane crash that occurred Sunday night.”

In researching this piece, the December 1950 issue of The Christ School News proved not only to be an essential source, but also a remarkable, uncanny coincidence. Housed in the school’s archives, the cover story details the violent crash and harrowing rescue. In the top right-hand corner of that same front page, the newspaper is addressed to Mrs. W.S. Dubose of Winter Park, Florida. Mrs. Dubose was a professor of music at Rollins College in the Fall of 1950. She was also Jim Dator’s mother. Somehow, her copy of the paper ended up in the archives at Christ School, the only known document confirming Dator’s account of the story. “As I think about it, the most mysterious thing about all of our interchanges is that you sent me a copy of the CS News with my mother's address label on it. This is a coincidence beyond belief!” says Dator.

Though Dator declares it is impossible to accurately predict the future, there is no doubt that he and his colleagues have anticipated many of the most important developments of the last 50 years. Among them, and as early as 1970, he foresaw the rise of the internet and technologies such as smartphones (in a chapter in the book entitled Hawaii 2000). He also predicted the increase in artificial intelligence, the impact of climate change, and the limitations of oil as an energy source. Sound relevant to 2020?

For more than 50 years, Dator has been writing about these critical issues and, more importantly, how to surf the waves of change which they created.

So, what does Jim Dator make of Christ School today? Simply put, “It appears to be very different from my time – far brighter and sophisticated.” And what does he have to say to our current students about the world they occupy? As someone who has spent much of his life working to construct alternative futures that improve humankind, Dator regrets the “mess” that previous generations have left current and future Christ School students. But that does not mean he is pessimistic about the future.

“I anticipate great change in many areas for

which most people and their governments are profoundly unprepared, and in denial. But I am optimistic that young people, if taught honestly, can thrive in the new world that is emerging.”

Even though Dator retired from his role at the University of Hawaii in 2015, he remains an active contributor to the academic world and Futures Studies. His article, “Anticipatory Evolvable Architecture for the Anthropocene,” was published in 2019. At 86 years old, why does he continue to research and write? But that’s really the wrong question. As a futurist, how could he not continue his work? As long as the world is turning and changing, the futurist’s work remains relevant and vital. And the roots of his relentless pursuit of better futures reach

back to Christ School, back to afternoons spent digging the foundation of a new dormitory, and back to the dark, daring night of the Burney Mountain rescue.

The challenges of today and tomorrow only create the need for greater creativity and innovation to build a better future. “I know that young people simply enter their world, without regret or complaint, and soon learn how to thrive with whatever resources are available to them. You have the magnificent opportunity and necessity of creating a bright new world out of the chaos we have left for you. You lucky dogs – where creativity, imagination, and hard, communal work are more important than ever before!” n

FATHER WEEK SON END

by Isaac Rankin

NEWS FROM AROUND CAMPUS

Above: William Saye ’20 and his father, Steve P’18, P’20.

Christ School’s eighth Father/Son Weekend brought together more than 300 Christ School fathers and sons during the first weekend in September.

Greenie dads came to campus for two days full of fellowship, programs, and plenty of one-onone time with their sons. The weekend kicked off Friday night with Varsity Football earning a convincing win over the Cabarrus Warriors, followed by a chance for students to get off campus for dinner with their dads.

For new students and their dads, Father/Son Weekend often presents the welcome opportunity to reconnect after the first three weeks away at boarding school. For new parent Dan Heth P’23, the weekend was also a chance to get acquainted with lots of new faces. “The activities provided a nice icebreaker between fathers and sons but also a chance to connect with other fathers. I did not expect to meet so many other fathers and that was a really positive experience,” Heth said.

Saturday’s programming included a teambuilding session with local expert Chad Littlefield, who challenged fathers and sons to ask tough questions of one another and share honest answers. From there, fathers and sons headed off campus to enjoy a variety of activities offered in the Asheville Area, including skeet shooting, golf, mountain biking, and much more. Many fathers and sons ventured out in groups and enjoyed getting to know one another.

For fathers who graduated from Christ School, Father/Son Weekend is an opportunity to enjoy

the unique Greenie bond that they share with their sons. “When your son is away at school, any time spent with him becomes that much more special. The Father/ Son Weekend has allowed me the opportunity to share one-on-one time with my son while also getting to know his friends and their fathers as well,” said Noel Johnson ’87 P’20. “As a graduate, we share the same classrooms, dorms, chapel, and athletic fields, which makes the experience more meaningful. CS holds a special place in my heart, and I am grateful for being able to share it and its traditions with my son.”

The weekend concluded with a Sunday service at the Kirk Brown Outdoor Chapel, followed by brunch in Stolz Hall.

Whether attending for the first time or the last, Father/Son Weekend offers an opportunity to strengthen the bonds between fathers and sons while sharing in the camaraderie and brotherhood that makes Christ School unique and exceptional.

Thanks to our fathers and sons for making this event such a special tradition on our campus! n

LOOK H ME WARD 22

Christ School Students Explore Family History in the Tradition of Thomas Wolfe Dr. Spenser Simrill, a new addition to Christ School’s faculty for the 2019-20 school year, brought with him more than a decade of teaching experience at the University of Georgia, as well as an extensive background in filmmaking, writing, and digital media.

in & around yard a NEWS FROM AROUND CAMPUS

Greenies in his AP Language and Composition course put Dr. Simrill’s teachings to work while tracing their own family history with a special English Department project.

“Look Homeward, Greenie” is named after one of Asheville novelist Thomas Wolfe’s most famous works (Look Homeward, Angel) and a collection of family stories written by the boys.

The project has its own website, medium.com/ christ-school, and features 21 stories accompanied by interviews and photographs.

Dr. Simrill wrote this in the “About” section of “Look Homeward, Greenie:” “In ‘Look Homeward, Greenie,’ students at Christ School chart the intersection of world

history and family history through primarysource research, annotated bibliographies, and an Oral History based on the Smithsonian Guide.

According to a 2008 study at Emory (University), a knowledge of family history is the best determinant of academic success: ‘the more children knew about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem and the more successfully they believed their families functioned.’ As we look backwards, it’s nice to imagine our ancestors looking forward: ‘I am my ancestor’s wildest dreams.’”

Below are just a few of the compelling introductions from the students’ family stories:

The Great Escape From Muhammad’s Hajj to Hegira, Kentucky – A flight or journey to a more desirable place.

Never Stopped Dancing How a Southern Kentucky coal miner’s daughter came to marry an American-Italian saxophone player.

by Andrew Graham ’21

by Sam Basset ’22

In 622 AD, the Islamic prophet Muhammad was informed of an assassination plot, and he secretly left his home. In Arabic, a hegira represents an escape or refuge. The name Hegira was also chosen for a small town in Southern Kentucky where my family originates. The Grahams were seeking refuge from border wars, and centuries of pillaging between Scotland and England, just as Muhammad and other Muslims were fleeing persecution themselves.

The two met at a dance after a big basketball game in Covington, KY. It was January, 1956, and the two both attended Morehead State University in Morehead, KY. That night they were both at a dance celebrating the Morehead Eagles’ basketball victory when they engaged in conversation. The two immediately hit it off and according to my grandfather, “never stopped dancing.”

My dad, Colonel Tom Bell, was a member of the United States Air Force for 26 years. He was a navigator on an MC-130, a special operations plane used by the Air Force. The navigator is one of the most important positions on an aircraft.

My dad would study the flight plans very in-depth and tell the pilots where to go and the altitude they needed to fly at. He has many stories about his role as a navigator in the Air Force. These stories can be funny, serious, or quite sad.

Small Town Southern Men A family history through country music — how a lineage of five Richard Jones’s found new life in Faith, North Carolina.

“I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole” came seeping through the windows of my grandad’s brand new 1979 Chevrolet pickup truck pulling out of the Faith Baptist Church parking lot in Rowan County. My dad, the fifth Richard Jones, sits in the middle of the bench seat wedged between his parents, the fourth Richard and Carla Jones. All singing “Mama Tried” by Merle Haggard in perfect harmony while on the way to lunch with the whole family after the service.

Christ School sent a contingent of 10 Greenies and three faculty members to the National High School Journalism Convention held November 20-24 in Washington, DC. Each day began at 8 a.m. and was filled with workshops, guest speakers, and contests. The Struan, Christ School’s literary and arts magazine, won an eighth place Best in Show award.

The boys befriended other students from across the country, discussing their common interests in a wide variety of media. The keynote speaker on opening night was Chuck Todd, the political director for NBC News and moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Of course, sight-seeing was on the agenda. The group took photos around the National Mall on its final night after dinner.

“It has been a memorable trip. Great boys, interesting new information and fun times. It feels like we are returning, equipped to make new and better student media at Christ School,” said English teacher Mary Dillon, who is also the faculty advisor for our student newspaper, The Stump.

Along with Mrs. Dillon, English teacher Dr. Spenser Simrill and Digital Media Specialist/ Christ School Broadcast Network Director Ross Weathersbee ’10 supervised the following students: Scott Brouse ’23, Garrett Clapsaddle ’21, William David ’21, Caleb Fountain ’21, Wilton Graves ’21, Lux Haney-Jardine ’20, Steve Lin ’23, Henry Lytle ’23, Richard Lytle ’20, and Billy Thackston ’21.

Lux Haney-Jardine, who won an award at the convention (see page 31) said, “I’ve returned to school and journalism with a reignited flame. I’ve seen what students are doing all across the country, and I want to do it back home, at Christ School.”

For Garrett Clapsaddle ’21, visiting the DC war memorials allowed him to do some research for his grandfather. “I not only got to learn many things about journalism and broadcasting, but also got to see historic war memorials.

The closest I had ever been to experiencing

something as awe-inspiring prior to the trip was at my grandfather’s war memorial, Band of Brothers Park,” said Garrett.

“My grandfather, Roger, created his memorial to commemorate the service members, past and present, from our hometown, of Murphy, NC. However, most of the focus is on the Vietnam era. Roger and his wife, Pat, have done extensive research on the names, pictures, and even some life details of the men who served in the Vietnam war from our area, but they were missing something that could complete their collection – the rubbings of their names from the Vietnam memorial in DC. Being able to help complete the collection for Roger’s Vietnam memorial was something I will never forget.”

The National High School Journalism Convention is the largest gathering of student journalists in the country, typically drawing more than 5,000 attendees. n

TANK 26

Ethan Park ’23 Salutes Veterans with a Homemade WWII M3 Stuart Tank

Ethan Park ’23 has a tradition of building something each year for Halloween. “I’m not the kind of guy who goes to Walmart and buys a costume,” says Ethan. This year, the elaborateness of his six-month project – building a 3/4 scale WWII M3 Stuart Tank – meant that he ran a little behind schedule, which turned out to be

fortuitous, as it was complete for Veterans Day. Ethan has always been interested in wars and has a vast collection of war paraphernalia, including a bullet from a P-39 Lightening fighter plane, a Korean War helmet, a Russian WWII helmet, and an American musket. He is drawn to WWII in particular, because “it was a time when modern warfare was starting to be developed,” says Ethan.

“You have all these different vehicles and weapons, and it’s unique how they named their tanks and planes.”

He began the project in July by searching for a detailed photograph with dimensions which he found online at “The Online Tank Museum” website. After finishing the mathematical calculations to reduce the dimensions to 3/4 scale, he built the turret. Then he designed the floor of the tank, based on a truck ladder frame chassis design.

Once the base was complete, he used graph paper to draft three perspective drawings to determine the dimensions of the vehicle’s wooden frame and calculated the geometry of the frame using a protractor.

The floor was assembled from 2” x 2” beams and 3/8” inch plywood. The frame was constructed from 1” x 2” beams. He fastened the woodwork with wood screws and then covered the frame with recycled cardboard using hot-melt glue.

The details for the wheels, tracks, and other tank components were obtained from the original tank pictures as well as from a computerized 3D rendering of the M3 Stuart from the game “War Thunder.” The large wheels were constructed of recycled cardboard reinforced with wood.

All of the fully functional windows and doors were constructed from recycled cardboard, painters’ tape, and hot-melt glue. The windows are held open with recycled bicycle spokes attached to glued washers. The rivets are individual drops of hot-melt glue. The gun base was made from a salad bowl and a recycled plastic cup and recycled PVC pipe comprised the gun barrel.

Ethan spray-painted the entire tank, and handpainted the star and name.

On display in the Physic Lab, Ethan’s tank was a timely addition to Christ School’s Veterans Day celebration. “This war happened so many years ago, but maybe the tank will get more people interested,” says Ethan. “And building it is my way of saying that I appreciate what those soldiers did.” n

Christ School Wins Award for Blue Ridge Parkway Volunteerism

by Andrew Pearson

The National Park Service has taken notice of the good deeds done in the Asheville area by Christ School boys.

Each year, the NPS asks for nominations for exceptional volunteers. Greenies have made such an impression with their work in and around the Mount Pisgah Campground in Canton, NC, that Christ School won the Blue Ridge Parkway Volunteer Youth Group Award on November 7.

The awards luncheon was held in Asheville’s Folk Art Center.

“Christ School, based in Asheville, NC, believes in the value of integrating service into the lives of students at an early age,” the NPS said in a press release. “In coordination with the Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway – Asheville Chapter, students

have completed multiple projects in the Asheville area of the Parkway, instilling a love for service in the students and helping the park address some of its critical deferred maintenance needs.”

Various groups from Christ School have volunteered at the Mt. Pisgah Campground, most recently the Greenie cross country and soccer teams in August and September.

Ethan Crump, Community Volunteer Ambassador for the Blue Ridge Parkway, had kind words for the Greenies in a letter to Director of Service Learning Olga Mahoney.

“Both the cross country and soccer teams and coaches were incredible to work alongside,” he wrote. “The students are very respectful and enthusiastic about serving.” n

Christ School Theater’s Fall Production:

in & around yard a NEWS FROM AROUND CAMPUS

Performed in October, just in time for the Halloween season, The Mystery of Irma Vep was a spooky satire of various theatrical, literary, and film genres, including Victorian melodrama, Penny Dreadful, Wuthering Heights, and the 1940 Alfred Hitchcock movie, Rebecca. The audience enjoyed a fast-paced comedy and quick-change show with three actors playing multiple characters like Lord Edgar, the housekeeper, Jane, and the

gardener, Nicodemus, with visits from a variety of supernatural beings.

The Mystery of Irma Vep starred Tom Tang ’21, Tony Hao ’22, and Durant Long ’22, with technical support from Triston Mowry ’23 and Sam Ludington ’23. The Director was Mary Dillon and her Technical Director was Antton Wilbanks. n

Connor Booher ’20 and Richard Lytle ’20 Named National Merit Semifinalists Connor Booher ’20 and Richard Lytle ’20 are front and center at every Chapel service, but the Sacristan and Verger have distinguished themselves in another big way as National Merit Semifinalists. Less than one percent of all American high school seniors achieve Semifinalist status in the National Merit Scholarship Program based off their performance on the Preliminary SAT. Christ School has now produced 11 National Merit Semifinalists since 2013 and eight in the past four years, the most of any North Carolina school (public, private, or charter) west of Charlotte.

“I am honored to qualify for National Merit,” Richard said. “I’ve always looked up to previous National Merit Scholars during my time here, and it is so inspiring to have achieved what I dreamed of as a freshman. At the same time, my work is not finished. I have much more to give to the school and am excited for all that this year will bring.”

Connor and Richard have made themselves eligible for one of 7,600 National Merit Scholarships that will be offered next spring.

Over 90 percent of Semifinalists take the necessary steps to become Finalists, and about half that number go on to win a National Merit Scholarship.

“When I found out I had made the (Semifinalist) cut, I was elated,” Connor said. “When thinking back on all the seniors throughout my time here who had received the same honor I now hold, I am humbled. Those guys and their accomplishments seem distant from mine, but the thought of being considered among their ranks fills me with great pride, and I’m happy to play a part in continuing the Christ School-National Merit legacy.”

As Sacristan, Connor rings the Angelus bell before Chapel services and sits alongside Father John Roberts. The senior hails from Fairview, NC (just outside of Asheville), is currently a member of the Greenie Cross Country Team, and president of the Political Discussion Club.

Richard’s hometown is Asheville. Outside of his studies, he is perhaps best known to his peers for being a Red Hat leader in the Outdoor Program. Richard’s kayaking skills are so advanced that he trained for and competed in the world-famous Green River Narrows Race on November 2 (see page 44). The Green River is about 20 miles from Christ School’s campus.

Richard’s two most visible duties as Verger are dismissing everyone from Chapel and reading the Christ School prayer list.

Connor and Richard will be attending Duke University and Dartmouth College, repectively, in the fall. n

Greenies Helping Greenies: Peer Tutoring Program Debuts

by Andrew Pearson

Christ School fosters an environment where ideas and suggestions from the boys are always welcome, no matter how big or small.

A new Peer Tutoring Program will be forever linked to Jack Slattery ’20. The senior from Cornelius, NC, successfully pitched the program to Headmaster Paul Krieger and has worked with Director of Learning and Support Tina Evans to build a team of 24 tutors.

Mrs. Evans chose three adjectives to describe Jack: “visionary, reliable, and humble.”

“With everyone always trying to get service hours, I figured I might as well see if we had some kind of program (for peer tutoring),” Jack said. “When I found out we didn’t, that’s when I really started to think about it. I’m glad that a lot of people have signed up. Hopefully this is something that will continue for a lot

longer, when I’m no longer here.”

Greenies may sign up for peer tutoring online and seek out help five days a week.

The tutors cover the gamut of Christ School’s curriculum. They are carefully vetted as well. Peer tutors must be recommended by a teacher and go through an application process that includes signing a contract that outlines expectations and duties. After that, there is training where tone and the spirit of collaboration are emphasized.

Jack tutors fellow Greenies in Mandarin. He says he knows the foreign language well enough to “have a decent conversation” after spending a portion of his past three summers in China.

Jack is a Proctor in Harris House and involved with Christ School’s Ski & Snowboard team as well as the Investment Club. n

Along with Jack, the rest of the peer tutors are Aaron Chen ’20, Daniel Du ’22, Henry Duggins ’20, Jack Fitch ’20, Miles Gardner ’20, Andrew Hammel ’20, John English Hulsey ’20, Connor Jones ’21, Jack Lee ’21, Tommy Li ’21, Daniel Liang ’21, Eddie Lin ’21, Richard Lytle ’20, Max Masiello ’20, Henry Muller ’20, William Saye ’20, Patrick Shea ’20, Luke Stone ’21, Joseph Visconti ’20, Patrick Wilds ’21, Mark Yu ’21, Bevin Zhang ’21, and Kevin Zheng ’21.

Lux Haney-Jardine ’20 Wins National Media Award

by Andrew Pearson

Lux Haney-Jardine ’20 not only made headlines for Christ School, but also for North Carolina as a whole at the National Student Media Contests in Washington, DC, in November.

The fifth-year senior from Asheville emerged as the only individual award winner from the Tar Heel state – Lux received an “Excellent” designation in Review Writing.

Lux was part of Christ School’s five-day trip to the National High School Journalism Convention held November 20-24 in Washington (see page 24). He is one of Christ School’s 33 AP Scholars and has previously been recognized for his writing by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards (Gold Key for Poetry in 2018 and Honorable Mention for Humor in 2019) and the Montreat College Creative Writing Festival (First Place for Poetry in 2018).

Lux’s short story entitled “Bisquey Business” was chosen as the winner of a bookmark contest held by the English Department during the 2018-19 school year. He has contributed mightily to Christ School’s Quiz Bowl team, which has reached the Small School National Championship Tournament in both of the past two years. Lux is the son of faculty member Jennifer MacDonald, who teaches World Languages. 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.

MAX FIELD ’20 In his senior speech, Max Field ’20 said he always wished for a brother. When he reached third grade and realized that Christmas gift was not meant to be, Max found Christ School. He toured campus for the first time as an 8-year-old and knew he would become a Greenie. “Even now, almost 10 years later, I still can’t explain the sensation I felt that day when I saw the school for the first time,” Max says.

Max believes his close friends and the ability to pursue his interests have allowed him to thrive at Christ School. “I’m surrounded by people who are genuinely interested in the same thing that I am and who care about school the way I do,” says Max. Along with classmate Miles Gardner ’20, Max founded the Medical Interest Group in his sophomore year. Max, whose dad is an interventional radiologist, finds medicine fascinating and has spent his summers working at Mission Hospital in Asheville, first as a volunteer, and most recently as a paid intern in their “Mission Possible” program. “I got a very close and up-front experience in the hospital,” says Max, “talking to a lot of doctors and attending a lot of meetings.”

Max, a Rotary Club member, has played football since 8th grade. “I’m pretty proud of that because I feel like I’ve had a really good progression through football, from JV to this year when I was a starting defensive tackle and played a lot. Even though we were runners-up for the state championship, I still feel like I gave it my best shot.”

Stepping outside his comfort zone, Max played the ghost of King Hamlet in Christ School’s theater production of Hamlet last spring. “I enjoyed that a lot, memorizing the lines, and then, when showtime came, having those lines in your head and going out there, getting really expressive and showing a lot of emotion,” says Max. “It was freeing, in a sense.”

Complementing Max’s interest in medicine is his passion for science and his Biotech class with Mr. Williams in which students relish the opportunity to complete the types of labs they will find in college-level courses. Math offers additional challenges. For the

past three years, Max has taken Calculus with Mr. Mohney, beginning with Precalculus, then AP AB last year, and finally AP BC this year. Mr. Mohney says, in his many years of teaching, Max stands out as one of the hardest workers. When he struggled early in the course, Max impressed Mr. Mohney with his tenacity. “He stayed with it, showing unsurpassed patience and persistence,” says Mr. Mohney. “Sure enough, in late May, he got a 4 on the test.” Max is proud of himself for sticking with it. “I don’t love Calculus,” says Max, “but I feel like the grind calculus taught me was important. This year I want to get a 5.”

Max stays connected to former classmates at Asheville Christian Academy through a weekly Bible study group and church league basketball.

He is one of Christ School’s Service Learning Chairs, a member of National Honor Society, an AP Scholar, and a steady presence on Christ School’s High Honor Roll for the past four years.

As he begins his final semester in high school, Max balks at the senioritis students often feel as college decisions are made and graduation approaches. “I’m close to the end, why not just do the best I can?” says Max. “I’m naturally inclined to get things done, and I’m a firm believer that if you have a goal and you genuinely work hard to reach that goal, you can achieve anything.” n

MILES GARDNER ’20 Eagle Scout Miles

Gardner ’20 first learned about Christ School from Will Fleming ’17 and Trevor Murrah ’16, members of his Boy Scout troop. “They were such huge influences in my life, and they represented what I now know as a Greenie: morally straight, athletic, and smart guys,” says Miles. “Spending time with them, I knew I wanted to be part of this community.”

Miles says he knew he made the right move to enter Christ School as an 8th grader. The unique brotherhood he felt with his classmates, coupled with support he received from faculty, helped him feel confident about the challenges ahead. “I was kind of a late bloomer, so [that eighth grade year] helped me ease into high school.”

An avid tennis player when he arrived, Miles made a welcome discovery in 10th grade: he loves track and field. After starting with sprints, Miles took up hurdling, an event well-suited to his tall frame. According to Miles, hurdling involves technique which he is more than willing to put in the hours to perfect. “I’d put in the work in practice where I became more flexible,” says Miles. “I worked on mobility and agility and found that as I got taller and faster, I got exponentially better, which made it more fun and added another layer to the race.” All of his focus and effort has paid off in numerous races. Miles made critical individual and relay contributions to the Greenies’ back-to-back NCISAA state titles in 2018 and 2019, and he holds the school record for the 300m hurdles (41.20). This success, coupled with his strong academic profile, has earned him an invitation to race and study at the University of Chicago next fall.

“The first time we went to states,” says Miles, “we had some really great upperclassmen. I hope that this year I can be a leader who will mentor the younger guys.” Two of those younger guys happen to be his sophomore twin brothers, Luke and Sanford. “Having them at CS has been great for me; it adds a whole new meaning to the Greenie brotherhood,” says Miles. “You have the responsibility to carry yourself better because what you do represents your brothers.” As track and field teammates, the three Gardner brothers have developed some healthy competition. “We love sports; I always know they’re trying to surpass me and it’s fun," Miles admits. Their sister, Anna, is a sophomore at Georgia Tech.

Miles has diverse interests which he has shared with the community in enduring ways. Both sons of physicians, Miles and Max Field ’20 co-founded the Medical Interest Club, a group that hosts guest speakers, offers classroom activities on campus, and takes an annual trip to the cadaver lab at Sherman Chiropractic in Spartanburg. The Politics Club, the group Miles and Connor Booher ’20 founded as sophomores, is equally busy.

Members meet monthly for civil political discussions, and they and serve as moderators when local and state politicians visit campus. Miles plans to study economics in college and go into business or finance.

On winter weekends, Miles enjoys snowboarding on Beech Mountain where a ride up the ski lift gives him the opportunity to discuss the physics of moguls and jumps with a friend. He also loves video games like Counter Strike, Over Watch, and Fortnight. For an ambitious, busy guy like Miles, these games give him a chance to relax and blow off steam.

One thing many people don’t know is that Miles is passionate about Spanish language and culture. Having taken Spanish since 8th grade and gone on two trips to Salamanca (Spain) with former Spanish teacher Mr. Baltazar, Miles loves to watch Spanish and Mexican Youtubers. He listens to all Latino music but especially reggaetón.

“I got to go to Europe to get to know Spanish culture while studying about Latin America,” says Miles, “and I find it fascinating that they’re such distinct cultures but they share the same language.” n

34 WILLIAM SAYE ’20 As an 8th grader, William Saye ’20 knew he wanted to attend boarding school – his brother Stephen ’18 was already a Greenie – but it was the energy of the assembly he attended during his campus visit that convinced him to enroll at Christ School. A four-year leader in the Varsity Tennis team and the Environmental Club, William says “environmental issues are fascinating to me because they are so real.” He is leading a school-wide initiative to give out water bottles to reduce plastic waste and working with the dining hall to reduce food waste. “We are trying to teach people that they can make a change in their lives that makes a larger impact,” says William. “It’s nice for me to be part of something that helps solve a greater world problem.”

William has taken 11 AP courses and says he is especially enjoying his courses this year, including AP Government and Politics, and English Senior Seminar.

“Every time I walk into AP Government, it’s a new conversation, and in my Honors English Seminar, you have one topic you research all year, so you really get to delve into something that interests you.” William has chosen to research healthcare systems around the world, drawing on what he observed during trips to Spain. “I spent four weeks in Spain where I was able to observe a different kind of healthcare system, so I’m comparing it to the US and other countries. At the end, I hope to come up with a proposal of what our healthcare system should look like.” For the past two summers, William has attended immersion programs in Spain, first with former Spanish teacher Mr. Baltazar’s Ambassador trip to Salamanca, and then this past summer in Alicante. He is taking AP Spanish this year.

Although he’s not sure what he will study in college, William would like to focus on politics or international business. “I pride myself on my communication skills,” says William. “In fact, when I was little, my parents used to joke that I was going to become the mayor because I liked talking to people.”

As a proctor in Cuningham, William communicates all kinds of wisdom to younger Greenies. “I encourage them to make the most out of each opportunity CS gives you and to meet as many people as possible because there are people from so many different states and countries living with you,” says William. “I suggest they should really take in what CS has to offer and not take anything for granted.

That’s what I preach to them – and sometimes they listen.”

In addition to his older brother Stephen ’18, he has a 13-year-old sister, Hannah, back in his hometown of Pinehurst, NC. “I’m the middle child and the peacemaking force in our household.” His parents are both small business owners, and William credits them with teaching him the importance of integrity and the dignity of hard work.

His parents have never had to worry about William’s grades. “I’m a huge perfectionist and it can hurt me sometimes,” says William.

“I have to run an essay by five people before turning it in; a B+ is not acceptable. My room gets dirty – that’s where I slip a little – but in the classroom and on the tennis court I try to be perfect in every sense.”

In his senior speech, William shared two pieces of advice with his classmates. First, he encouraged them to “Go out of your way to connect with people different from yourself.

Conversations had and relationships formed will help shape you as a person.” And second, he suggested everyone should “trust God’s plan,” even when it’s not clear in the moment.

“The most important force that bonds all of us is the brotherhood that we decided to join by coming here,” William concluded. “No matter who you are, where you are from, or who your parents are, you are part of a lifelong brotherhood that has lasted a century and will last another. Don’t forget that.” n

PATRICK SHEA ’20 Patrick Shea ’20

credits Christ School with helping him become the best version of himself. “When I came here freshman year, I was shy, and I stuttered all the time,” says Patrick. “I still stutter, but I think the friends I’ve made and the teachers who have had faith in me have helped me discover myself.”

That change came from being challenged by classes such as Mr. Harris’s Honors Algebra class which taught him to push hard, even when he would rather do anything at 6:00 a.m. than study math. It also came on Christ School’s trails. The Outdoor Program, led by Mr. Ramsey, introduced Patrick to trail work, something he would pursue for three consecutive summers in national parks.

After freshman year, he became a Yellowstone Youth Conservation Corps crew member. “It was a foundational experience for me,” says Patrick.

“I think a really cool thing about it was that I was able to use a lot of the lessons I was taught here – work ethic, confidence, a team mentality, and learning when to put other’s needs ahead of yours – to help me have an awesome summer there.” Patrick and his crew spent 10 hours a day clearing trails and installing bear boxes. A year later, he was invited back as a crew leader. This past summer he served on the trail crew of the Idaho Conservation Corps.

Those experiences helped Patrick prepare for his senior leadership roles as one of the Servant Leadership Chairs and a Red Hat guide and mentor for the Outdoor Program. “[In Montana and Idaho] I taught kids how to build trails, maintain and use different tools, and manage their homesickness” – skills that apply to students under his supervision at Christ School.

Patrick is also a Senior Editor for The Struan, Christ School’s literary magazine. “Some seniors encouraged me to get involved my freshman year, and it was through those seniors that I learned how to build a good community within the editorial group, one that’s supportive and understands how to critique and reach deadlines.”

It was the two classes Patrick took with Mr. Ramsey, Honors and AP Environmental Science, that crystalized a career path in Land Management. “Most days, we would meet in the classroom and go right out to the trails on campus. By the end of the course, I could survey any piece of land and calculate how long

the trees and plants had been there.” He especially enjoyed the final exam. “He had set up an elaborate exam in the woods with 10 different stations,” says Patrick. “I remember freezing – it was snowing – but I was stoked about using the guide and figuring out which plant was which and using a compass; it helped me discover what I want to do.”

Freshman year, Patrick was part of a team of Greenies that competed in the North Carolina Adventure Race Series (NCARS) 10-hour race in Pisgah National Forest consisting of mountain biking, running, and paddling a canoe. “In the tenth and final hour of the race, it was cold and dark, and when we rolled across the finish line, 15-20 guys who had come up to volunteer just for us were all there, cheering and clapping us on the back,” says Patrick. “That’s Christ School at its best, when a freshman who is not confident, stutters, and whose whole view of the world is based on what others think of him has the good fortune of having the community come out and support him in one of the biggest, most impactful moments of his life.”

Over trials on 9,000-foot peaks, soggy 20-mile bike rides, and grueling Spartan races, Patrick has developed a clear life philosophy. “There are some people who live their lives just trying to survive by doing the least amount of work possible, but I believe that having goals and direction and taking pride in what you do is what really gets you through things.” n

Fierce Competition Christ School Varsity Football played arguably its toughest schedule in program history, facing multiple state champions and perennial powerhouses along the way. The Greenies (6-4) once again wrapped up the season as the NCISAA Division I state runners-up.

The team began the season with a big 35-20 win over University Christian out of Jacksonville, FL. Two other key regular-season wins came on the road – at Providence Day and Murphy. As the No. 4 seed in the state playoffs, Christ School earned a berth in the finals by defeating top-seeded Charlotte Country Day, 27-20, in the semifinals. The season ended with a 38-21 loss to Charlotte Christian in the statechampionship game.

First-year coach Nick Luhm said that Navy Shuler ’20, Will Buchanan ’20, Aydan White ’20, and Read Sunn ’20 were outstanding seniors and captains for the Greenies. n

CROSS COUNTRY

Coaches: Randy Ashley Emily Pulsifer Spenser Simrill

Breaking Records Christ School Cross Country enjoyed its best season in decades this fall. The team won its first-ever Buncombe County championship as well as its first Carolinas Athletic Association conference title since 2001. Furthermore, a third-place showing at the NCISAA 4-A state meet was the best team finish for the Greenies since 1991.

Christ School was led by senior captains Andrew Hammel ’20 and Joseph Visconti ’20.

Andrew broke his own school record for 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) by running 15:31.81 and was the 4-A state champion (the school’s first individual state title in the sport since 2007).

Joseph ran the second-fastest time ever for a Greenie (15:39.71). Rocky Hansen ’23 and Dawson Reeves ’24 set freshman and eighthgrade school records by running 16:19 and 16:49, respectively. The team was bolstered as well by strong efforts from Ethan Kemp ’21, Tommy Schleusner ’20, Jack Cross ’22, Jack Fitch ’20, Miles Gardner ’20, Carson Guzzo ’22 and Conner Rowe ’22. n

The 2019 Varsity Soccer Team had some highs and lows this season. The highs showed just how good this team is and that the program is continuing to grow in the right direction, head coach Guy Campbell ’00 said. Players’ reactions were a big emphasis for the coaching staff.

This year’s team represented themselves and the school very well with how they approached practices and games. On the field, the Greenies went 3-1 in Carolinas Athletic Association conference play and finished second in the league. Christ School went 5-6 in NCISAA 4-A games and lost in the first round of the state playoffs.

“We won a lot of big games this year, but the biggest takeaway from this year needs to be the effort and willingness to compete that our boys showed all year,” Coach Campbell said. “Another year of growing as a program, and we know we are growing in the right the direction.” n

asheville school week 39

Many Greenies will agree that Asheville School Week is the most wonderful time of the year.

The boys wore as much green as possible on "Green Day" and inspected one another’s wardrobes for any hint of the forbidden color – blue. Before classes even started, the Class of 2020 had deftly pulled off its first prank in Wetmore Hall.

As in the past, there was plenty in store for the boys in the days leading up to kickoff, including the traditional bonfire, a Casino Night Gala, the student-faculty basketball game, Enrichment Day, and other special events unique to Asheville School Week.

Greenie fans prepared to cheer varsity football to its record eighth consecutive victory in The Game with Saturday morning’s picnic lunch and team sendoff on Stolz Plaza.

Everybody in green liked the result that followed: the Fayssoux-Arbogast Trophy will stay here for another year after Christ School’s 40-13 win at Asheville School.

-THEGAME Christ School and Asheville School have played one another in football since 1911, traditionally on the final Saturday of October. The Fayssoux-Arbogast Trophy – named for longtime athletic directors and coaches at the schools – was introduced into the Southeast's oldest rivalry in 1971. The Greenies have won The Game a school-record eight consecutive times (including a 48-0 victory last year).

-THEGAME

Historically speaking, Christ School football may still be playing catch-up when it comes to the oldest high school rivalry in the Carolinas. But also let it be said that the Greenies have turned the tide in a record way.

Navy Shuler ’20 put touchdown passes in the hands of four different receivers – Aydan White ’20, Cade Mintz ’21, Cayden Jones ‘23, and Zack Myers ’23 – and called his own number on a 79-yard quarterback keeper in a 40-13 win at Asheville School. Pierce Hammonds ’22 rushed for his sixth touchdown of the season in the third quarter.

The Greenies (5-3) were primed for the NCISAA state playoffs by winning The Game for an eighth consecutive year. Eight straight wins is the longest streak for either school in the 108 years of the rivalry. Asheville School had previously set the benchmark with seven wins from 1935 to 1941.

This year was the 93rd all-time meeting between the programs. The Blues still hold a 50-39-4 edge in the all-time series. The Greenies have gotten a leg up on Asheville School since the Fayssoux-Arbogast Trophy was introduced as the rivalry’s annual prize in 1971 with a 27-19-2 count in Christ School’s favor during that time.

The 2019 installment of The Game was the first to be played in Asheville School’s McNaughton Stadium and the Greenies never trailed. Cade found the end zone at the 5:54 mark of the first quarter, tip-toeing the Christ School sideline for a 39-yard touchdown reception.

After Navy’s second rushing touchdown in three weeks, Cayden made his first career scoring catch – a 13-yarder in the final minute of the second quarter. Christ School led 21-7 at halftime.

Aydan’s first touch of the game was a 91-yard touchdown catch with 7:52 remaining in the third quarter. Finally, Zack shed his defender to snare a 48-yard touchdown from Navy with 6:17 to go in the game. n

Richard Lytle ’20 Races in “Super Bowl” of Whitewater Kayaking

the great outdoors THE OUTDOOR PROGRAM Christ School senior Richard Lytle ’20 beat over half the field at the 24th annual Green Race, an event known in sporting circles as “The Super Bowl of Whitewater Kayaking.”

Richard ran the Class 5 rapids of the Green Narrows (situated about 20 miles from campus in Henderson and Polk counties) in 5 minutes, 6.50 seconds, good enough for 69th place out of 145 boats. Richard is believed to be only the third Greenie – current students or alumni – to finish the Green Race.

Christ School took a small party of faculty and students on November 3rd to cheer for Richard, who was fourth place in the Junior Division. Every kayaker was given one run down the Green Narrows and timed by electronic chips.

Richard is a Red Hat leader in the Christ School Outdoor Program, but the Asheville resident contributes much to the community outside of sports. He is a semifinalist for the National Merit Scholarship and an Advanced Placement Scholar. Richard’s Senior Leadership position is to serve as Verger for services in St. Joseph’s Chapel. n

beyond the gate house FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE

As I reflect on the 2018-2019 year, my first year as Director of Advancement at Christ School, the word gratitude comes to mind. Personally, I am thankful for how warmly my family and I were welcomed to this special place. Living and working on our beautiful campus alongside a vibrant community of devoted faculty and talented students has been inspiring and fulfilling.

We also have much to be grateful for as a school. The outpouring of good will and generosity from alumni, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends of Christ School is exciting and impressive. Highlights from last year include: • I n 2018 we completed the Drawing Strength from Within Campaign that significantly improved our campus and facilities and raised nearly $27 million (almost $7 million more than the goal of $20 million).

•T he Christ School Fund (formerly the Annual Loyalty Fund) surpassed $1 million for the first time in the school’s history.

•W e thanked over 900 donors for their support of the Christ School Fund, Capital Campaign, and/or Endowment.

•M ore than $1.5 million was pledged or given for endowment and scholarships.

• 1 00% of our Faculty and Board of Trustees donated over $870,000 to the school.

• 3 00 alumni (and a record number of young alumni) returned for Alumni Weekend during which we inducted five athletes into the Hall of Fame and celebrated the tenures of four of our most lauded faculty.

•C hrist School receptions were held in Asheville, Spartanburg, New Orleans, Columbia, Charleston, Atlanta, Washington, DC, and Charlotte.

•W e beat the Blues over Family Weekend in October and later held our Angelus Society Dinner in a beautiful setting on the South Terrace of the Biltmore Estate.

We are grateful to you for making this possible. Your generous support strengthens Christ School for the future and enables us to continue our 120-year tradition of transforming boys into outstanding young men of character.

Thank you for your investment in Christ School. Go, Green!

CS: What would you tell people who are considering supporting Christ School through Planned Giving?

the importance of PLANNED

GIVING

by Isaac Rankin

68

Board Member Townsend Tanner ’03 graduated almost 50 years after Grady Byrd ’57, P’80, GP’07, GP’11, GP’22. Despite their age difference, the two Greenies are Christ School’s newest planned givers.

They sat down together to discuss their passion for Christ School and their commitment to Planned Giving.

CS: Why did you decide to commit to Planned Giving with Christ School?

GB: Simply put, I think it’s the thing to do. It’s important to me and my family. We’ve had so many involvements at the school with our children. I think there are six of us who either attended or graduated from here. I hope my grandsons follow suit in giving. The important part is leaving something. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it’s for Christ School.

TT: It really shows our desire to help the school in perpetuity. We’re both in completely different points in our lives but realize how important this place has been for both of us. It was time to make it formal to include Christ School in our estate plans.

GB: It’s important for the school, and I think it’s important for the individual that is giving.

Giving should make you feel good. It’s something inside that says, “Christ School has done a great deal for me.” My favorite slogan about this place is “Where would I be without Christ School?”

You start thinking about that idea and ask that question and somewhere along the way it’s going to ring a bell. Christ School helped me, and what it did for me is unbelievable. I have no idea where I would be without it.

TT: The reason to do it now is not the gift outright, it’s the intent of the gift. To show that there is intent to do it at such a young age really goes back to putting our money where our mouths are. We know we would not be here today without Christ School’s help. And I want the students, alumni, grandparents, or anyone thinking about making a gift in perpetuity, to know that’s why it’s so important and to act now.

CS: Grady, you’ve only missed one Asheville School game. Why did you miss the one?

GB: As I recall, I was in Birmingham, AL, and had gone to work for Belk Department Store. That was the first time I’ve missed, and I don’t think I’ve missed any others. My wife has seen almost as many as I’ve seen! She is a great believer in Christ School – she used to come out here to the dances.

CS: There are lots of ways to make a planned gift.

Tell us what you and your family decided to do?

TT: The easiest way for me was to make CS a primary beneficiary of my 401K plan through work, so there’s a percentage attached for Christ School. It’s the easiest way to do it without attorneys or changing wills and documents.

On the financial side, for me, it’s the most appropriate way for CS to get it through a retirement plan.

GB: We have a trust established. At the point of my demise, that would be the time that my gift would come forward to CS. We just finished

completing our current amendment to our will three weeks ago.

TT: Sometimes you have to get professionals involved. Just ask them the question of “How?” It won’t take them long, if they know your situation, to steer you in one direction or another.

Or, in Grady’s case, there’s more time and people involved. The way I did it happens to be financially, tax-wise, the best situation for my family and the school.

CS: What excites you about the future of Christ School?

GB: What excites me is Paul. He’s an exciting headmaster. I was on the Board here, and I have witnessed the leadership of Mr. Dave all the way to Paul Krieger. There is no question that Paul has done a tremendous job for Christ School.

TT: What excites me, and why I want to give to the endowment as well, is that Christ School is on par with every other boarding school in the country. There is not an area where the school

is lacking, except for the endowment. The idea to keep the school operating in perpetuity is the reason to do it now.

GB: I don’t think there is any question that our endowment is the need. I was on the Board in the 1960s. I recently found a picture in the paper of Mr. Dave, me, and several other people.

It was commemorating the beginning of the David Page Harris Fund, which, as I understand it, has grown considerably as a part of the endowment. I was so impressed with how Christ School went through the recession and gained students, and it amazes me how the school was able to maneuver through 2007-2009.

TT: It took several million dollars in the endowment at that time. When the next dip comes, we’re going to need a larger endowment to allow the school to do the things it needs to do.

CS: Thank so much for your commitment to Planned Giving and for taking the time to talk to us! n

Asheville School Weekend Alumni Events:

BEAST AND BARREL AND BLUE GHOST BREWING Asheville School Week marks a number of traditions for Christ School, some decades old, like The Game, and others new, like Beast & Barrel. Only in its second year, the outdoor cookout hosted by the Alumni Council drew dozens of alumni, faculty, and staff on a cold and rainy Friday evening.

Alumni Council president Richard Haake ’87 led the event again, leveraging his past experience as a chef to cook a selection of meats over open fires at The Grange – a property in Fletcher, NC, owned by Tommy Westfeldt ’70. Alumni from nearly every decade reaching back to the 1960s were represented in the group, which gathered round the fires to share delicious food, drink, and laughs late into the evening.

It has also become a tradition for alumni to gather at a local brewery after The Game. This year, alumni and faculty met at Blue Ghost Brewing – just up the road from campus – to reminisce and celebrate our victory. n

THE SPIRIT

ENTREPRENEURIAL

by Isaac Rankin

alumni NEWS FROM ALUMNI

You can find successful Christ School alumni in almost every field. From Arden to Atlanta to Shanghai, Greenies go on to thrive in college and then enter the professional world prepared to excel in their careers and callings.

For a handful of young alumni, Christ School inspires and motivates them to take the plunge as entrepreneurs. Whether starting a moving business or developing a cutting-edge technology firm, they trace their success as entrepreneurs back to the guidance they received from advisors, coaches, and teachers, and to the discipline and self-reliance they discovered as Greenies.

We asked a few young business owners to share insights about their triumphs and failures, as well as reflections on their time at Christ School.

Thomas Belk ’08 Business: TB3’s Pickup Service Founded: 2016 Location: Charlotte, NC What They Do: I have a furniture transport/ moving business. We do anything from traditional moving to delivery of antiques and furniture, whether it’s in NC or out of state.

People come to me with everything from moving two miles in Charlotte to Manhattan or across the country. I started out working in advertising but had a pickup truck and ended up moving stuff free of charge. I decided after a while that I could make a business out of it.

Where They Are Today: I do 75% long distance moving out of state, outside of Charlotte. Probably 90% of my clients go to and from Charlotte. I also have climate-controlled storage in Charlotte.

Sometimes we’ll move upright pianos, some wolfskins and deer skins. You never know!

Advice for Christ School Students: I would tell them to go to a college where they will fit and find something that works for them, not their parents.

Once you get out of school, you often have to start out with a “grunt job.” In many fields, you have to start at the bottom. Be prepared to earn respect and work hard. Show loyalty and commit. Then prepare for what’s next.

Christ School Impact: Christ School made me independent. I learned how to live on my own while relying on the support here. Mike Mohney was a good mentor. He taught me how to take care

of business but also how to have fun and be kind.

Lastly, I made a lot of good friends. That is what lasts: the friendships and relationships.

the impact Christ School can have on a young person’s life. It’s a place to get true nurturing, psychologically, emotionally, and physically.

August Campbell ’09 Business: August Athletics and Fitness Founded: 2018 Location: San Francisco, CA

Thomas Chase Gullett ’01 Business: Phishing Box Founded: 2011 Location: Lexington, KY

What They Do: I specialize mostly in online fitness training. I upload videos of trainings and exercises for my clients through an app. There’s also an integrated nutrition program. At this point, it’s strictly with youth athletes in 8th12th grades. We Skype once a week and go over their numbers and expectations. Each program is in three-month increments. We develop a partnership. I want to develop these kids and help them succeed.

Where They Are Today: Eventually, I plan to open my own facility and operate strictly from there. My long-term goal is to get more Bahamian athletes involved and provide free training, hopefully with support from a corporate sponsorship. Christ School brought Ali (Knowles) ’09, Desmond (Russel) ’09, and me from the Bahamas back in 2009. You realize how quick it can turn around a program when you give kids the resources to put their talent on display. I’m talking with people in the Bahamas about next steps, and I’d like to see more kids from the Bahamas end up at Christ School.

Advice for Christ School Students: One thing I’ve learned is to make the most of your opportunities. Christ School was almost something I missed out on. The school opened a magnificent door to attend Duke University.

To be a part of the Class of 2009 with Lakeem Jackson, the Plumlees, Christian Rogers, and others – it’s a blessing. So, make the most of opportunities. It’s also about reaching out and making connections. It’s really stepping outside of your comfort zone. Take risks.

Christ School Impact: That time in my life at Christ School was so influential. I was so happy Christ School found me. Coach Uhler, Coach Williamson, Coach Auch, and others carved me out and taught me a lot of things. I know Uhler as well as I know my dad. They’re as much family as the family I have back home. I understand

What They Do: My junior year of high school, I started my first company currently named Intelliwire. It started out offering a service called vServer which was an add-on service for DSL customers to purchase a “virtual server” which had File Sharing, LDAP emulation, and much more.

It was before its time. It worked well for law firms and other professional service companies; however, large files didn’t work very well over the wire. The service ultimately failed. I ended up only offering simple hosting services and shrunk the footprint.

Right around the same time, my friend Andrew Chiles and I started eLink Design in 2001.

Where They Are Today: We started out doing basic web sites but moved quickly into software development. Later, we started investing in other ventures that came our way. A lot of times it was with people who needed our services. Lots have failed, some have succeeded, and time will tell with the rest. Our fastest growing company is PhishingBox, which provides an online platform to conduct phishing simulation and cyber security training.

Advice for Christ School Students: Take advantage of what is in front of you. The teachers and the other faculty members truly care about you. If you have a goal in life, they will help.

If you don’t understand something, they will help. You can either be on time, which is five minutes early, or you can be late and run two miles like Coach Lundy would make me do (a lot). Manners, a positive attitude, and a problemsolving mentality go a long way in any business.

Christ School Impact: Christ School played a major role in who I am today. At the time, I didn’t think so, but it helped me understand that I needed structure and a routine in my life. It also made me realize you need to make a decision, act on it, and fail fast if you must – but then grow from it.

Stevenson '99

Nathan Ruffin ’07 Business: Hammerhead Design Founded: 2014 Location: Winston-Salem, NC

Tom Stevenson ’99 Business: Stash Founded: 2017 Location: Charleston, SC

What They Do: Our elevator pitch is we specialize in anything wood, metal, and acrylics. If it’s weird and different, we’re building it. That’s where we start with our customers and take it from there.

Where They Are Today: We started with 250 square feet of space, and now we’re up to 6,000 square feet with a wood and metal shop. In five years, we have really transformed the company.

We have more than tripled our business in the last year. We’re growing at a steady pace aimed at long-term growth.

Lesson Learned/Failure: You have to fail in small business. You have to fail in life to learn what not to do. One of the best lessons I learned in business is that you need to fail fast. You need to do it quickly, because if you keep going down the rabbit hole, you’re going to lose a lot of money and you’re going to lose the game. You can’t sustain that for very long.

Advice for Christ School Students: Just show up – 60% of your success is just showing up. Be there. If you say you’re going to get an estimate out today, get it out today. If you do what you say you’re going to do, you will already be in a better position for success than the next kid.

Christ School Impact: I absolutely loved Christ School. When I started, I absolutely hated it; I was failing room inspection almost every day at the start. One day, my dad drove up unannounced and knocked on my door. I opened it, and he made it very clear that I was going to pass room inspection. When he took the time to drive up there and showed how important it was, that really grabbed my attention. Things changed after that. Christ School also taught me punctuality. Being on time is important. I think a lot of young entrepreneurs are cavalier about what time work starts. That is something Christ School is adamant about, and it stuck with me.

What They Do: Several summers ago, I needed to move and store some items. It was in the middle of August in Charleston (one of the hottest places on earth). I did all the work myself. It was painful, hot, and expensive. I said, “There has to be a better way to do this.” That’s what drove the thesis of the business. What if we did the work for you, stored it more efficiently, gave it a compelling price, and brought it to you? What’s the value of your hour or two hours when you could be doing something else with your time? That’s a compelling value proposition.

Where They Are Today: We spent the past couple of years building it. Trying things. Failing.

Trying things. Failing. Defining our operational protocols. Preparing for significant growth. The graveyard is plump with good ideas that moved too quickly or did not understand the market and their customer. We were really disciplined in doing that. Now it’s time to go. All hands on deck. Let the guard down and go. We are capitalized and prepared for what we hope is a 25-city expansion.

Advice for Christ School Students: Passion and integrity are the two things you can’t compromise on and you can’t do without. If you love the arts, write and perform. If it’s math, chase the next theorem and do what’s required. But passion has to be at the root of everything you do.

Christ School Impact: Outside of my father, the most influential person in my life was Coach Mike Knighton. I played quarterback for him, but he was also my advisor and friend. His impact on me was not how we spread out the offense and threw for a few hundred yards. No, it was his advice on life, his humor, his humility. It sunk in, and to this day he is as important as anybody I’ve ever known. n
