During the morning the students attended talks on the classification of organisms, basic coding, and how to run genetic programs.

Academy Board, administrators and facilitator Dr. Lex McMillan at two day retreat at Mt Magazine

The 2019 Senior Retreat was by all accounts a great success. This was the third year for the annual retreat to be held at the Ponca Bible Camp on the Buffalo River. Over the years the retreats have been haunted by cold rainy weather, but this year’s group enjoyed sunny skies and mild temperatures. The retreat theme centered on the quality of humility as described in Chapter 7 of Benedict’s Rule. Father Patrick Boland, OSB was the celebrant for mass at the camp’s outdoor chapel on Tuesday evening. The setting and his message were truly special. Two additional prayer services led by Deacon Goetz rounded out the specifically spiritual elements of the retreat. The group enjoyed fishing, hiking and a bit of extremely cold swimming and bluff jumping on both days. Rob Pugh seemed to truly enjoy the frigid waters while most only endured the plunge. After the Tuesday evening steak dinner, the guys gathered around the fire for S’mores and guitar picking late into the wee hours. The retreat came to a close with lunch on the Buffalo River with Roark Bluff as a spectacular backdrop. God Bless the 2019 Senior Class.

On Tuesday, Subiaco traveled to Dover and led for much of the game but was unable to sustain their play in the fourth period and let a hard-fought game slip away 58-53. Elvis Janga led the Trojans with 16 points, Matthew Kremer tossed in 13. On Friday, Subiaco hosted a strong Heber Springs team. That size and strength gave the Trojans fits inside all night.

Unfortunately, it was not a good shooting not for many of the Trojans and Heber left the gym with a 56-50 win. Jackson Frederick led the Trojans with 15 points.
