JOHN BURROUGHS SCHOOL R EPORTER J a n u a r y 2 013 Our 90th Year! INSIDE With a backdrop of major construction on campus, school life continues much as it has since the school’s founding. Students remain focused and achieve at high levels. 2 Fall Athletics 3 National Merit and Math Honors 3 The Burroughs community had much to cheer about as the varsity football team advanced to the State championship game. The fall semester included great moments in academics, arts, athletics and community service. • In academics In athletics • • The football Bombers made their third consecutive appearance at the Edward Jones Dome, where they placed second in State. • The swim team entered previously uncharted waters at State by claiming the school’s first number-one finish in an event and taking fourth overall as a team. • • The Class of 2013 claimed more National Merit semifinalists (25) and more Achievement semifinalists (6) than any other school — of any size — in Missouri. Almost one-third of the state’s 21 Achievement semifinalists came from Burroughs. JBS math students took every first-place finish — both individually by grade and as grade-level teams — in the Excellence in Mathematics competition. The Burroughs robotics team claimed the Inspire Award, the highest honor awarded at the regional level in the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology Technical Challenge competition, and qualified for the world competition in April. In communit y service • The Montgomery Plan boosted donations to the Holiday Food Drive by organizing a canned food sculpture contest. The effort resulted in a record year. • Student Congress jump-started giving to 100 Neediest Cases by tracking grade-level contributions on candy canes crafted from PVC pipe and displayed prominently around campus. The collection shattered previous records and topped the $15,000 mark. • A junior organized a mega food-packaging event that sent almost a quarter million meals to hungry children in Tanzania. In Arts • • The JBS Players’ presentation of the thought-provoking play, Playing for Time, was a complimentary gift to the community. Standing-room-only audiences attended fall concerts. The annual holiday program featured almost 250 students in the orchestra and choirs. For more about what made the fall of 2012, see inside.

Annalise Wagner ’14 earned her third trip to State in three years. • In boys’ swimming: The 200 free relay team (Daniel Diemer ’14, Tyler Waterman ’15, Robert Beckles ’13 and Kevin Steinhouse ’14) took first in State and set a school record. The 200 medley relay team (Steinhouse, Brad Riew ’13, Beckles and Diemer) placed second and set a school record. In the 50 free, Steinhouse placed second, and Diemer placed seventh. Steinhouse set a school record in the prelims. In the 100 breaststroke, Riew tied for fifth and set a school record. The 400 free relay team (Waterman, Adam Hotaling ’13, Beckles and Steinhouse) placed sixth and set a school record. In that race, Waterman broke the school record for the 100 free as the lead-off swimmer in the relay. (The previous record had been set during prelims the day before, when Steinhouse led off the relay.) • In girls’ golf: Drew Bolster ’16 and Logan Otter ’15 advanced to State, where Otter placed sixth (the best finish ever for a Lady Bomber) and Bolster placed 14th. More for the Record Books A little school makes a big splash at the State swim meet, and a fairy tale football season culminates with a second-place finish at State. The football Bombers capped a remarkable season by claiming a third consecutive second-place finish at State. One of the team’s own, senior Zeke Elliott (with ball) was named to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Zeke is one of 90 high school players nationwide so honored. The game was played at the Alamo Dome on January 5 and televised on NBC. Zeke will play football at Ohio State next fall. A memor able football season In every contest leading up to the Class 3 Missouri State Championship football game, Burroughs dominated, defeating its opponents by 36 points on average. The team claimed the District Title and the ABC Title, and advanced to the Edward Jones Dome for the third consecutive year. In the State championship game, the Bombers faced mighty Maryville from the other side of the state. Maryville brought a punishing running attack, rushing a record 69 times for 436 yards (the third most yardage in State history). Despite a strong Bomber rally in the fourth quarter, Maryville came out on top (35-22). Lit tle Fish in a Big Pond This year’s team built on a strong 2011 season by winning the Show Me Conference Invitational for the third consecutive year, and, with a 133-36 win over Kennedy, securing its first undefeated season. Eight swimmers qualified to compete at State. Other Team Highlights • For the first time since it moved to Class 3, the cross country team earned the opportunity to compete as a team at State. It placed ninth in a field of 16 teams. • The boys’ soccer Bombers claimed the Class 1 District 3 Championship. • The field hockey team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Midwest Field Hockey Tournament. The Burroughs swimming Bombers recorded the school’s first number-one finish in an event at State, took fourth place overall as a team and broke 13 school records in the process — all after compiling an undefeated record in the regular season. Coach Leslie Kehr was named the Missouri Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association’s Coach of the Year. Cross country runner Kirk Smith ’13 placed 10th at State. Above, Kirk (in foreground) and Robbie Wunderlich ’14 compete in a meet during the regular season. 2 | Bur roughs R eporter Burroughs (with 400 students in grades 9 through 12) has always been one of the smaller programs competing at the State level. Instead of competing with schools of comparable size as for every other sport, swimming has no class divisions. So Burroughs competes against schools five times its size. The JBS swim team took fourth place at State and recorded its first undefeated regular season. From left (seated) are Tejasvi Subramanian ’13 (manager) and Aleena Malik ’13 (manager); (standing, row 1) Robert Beckles ’13, Samuel Oh ’16, Jack Blethroad ’14, Coach Leslie Kehr, Daniel Diemer ’14 and Kevin Steinhouse ’14; and (standing, row 2) Adam Hotaling ’13, Tyler Waterman ’15, Brad Riew ’13 and Jay Prapaisilp ’13. Academics Tops in National Merit Honors Class of 2013 claims 25 National Merit semifinalists and six Achievement semifinalists. Burroughs has more National Merit semifinalists (25) and more Achievement semifinalists (6) than any other school — of any size — in Missouri. With about 30 percent of the senior class being recognized, Burroughs claims one of the highest percentages of semifinalist honors in the nation. Particularly notable is the number of Achievement semifinalists (the top 1 percent of black students who took the PSAT). Six of the state’s 21 Achievement semifinalists come from Burroughs. Burroughs is one of only 17 high schools in the country to claim six or more Achievement semifinalists. The school congratulates its 25 National Merit Scholarship semifinalists: Abby Balfour, Seve Beaver, Xavier Bledsoe, Emily Brown, Jimmy Carney, Sarah Cohen, Ginna Doyle, Kelly Hatfield, David Hua, J.R. Latta, Alicia Liu, Vicky Liu, Corina Minden-Birkenmaier, Brad Riew, Liz Rill, Joe Roddy, Peter Schnuck, Kirk Smith, Teresa-Anne Tatom-Naecker, Katherine Taylor, Charlie Van Doren, Sam Wexler, Matthew Wong, Alice Woods and Melissa Zhang. And congratulations are also extended to the six seniors who were named semifinalists in the Achievement Scholarship competition: Robert Beckles, Xavier Bledsoe (also an NMS semifinalist), Solo Ceesay, A.D. Marshall, Foye Oluokun and Collean Trotter. Also deserving of congratulations are the 16 seniors who received National Merit letters of commendation: Meghan Bach, Robert Beckles (also an Achievement semifinalist), Mackenzie Brandt, Frankie Caiazzo, Andrew Creighton, Siddharth Das, Kevin Eapen, Jake Fruchter, Emily Goodloe, Sally Lemkemeier, Katie Link, A.D. Marshall (also an Achievement semifinalist), Danny Nightingale, Zac Norton, Jordan Shaheen and Will Shao. Engineering as Sport Student roboticists take Lil Bomber to regional event, where it earns the top award and an invitation to the world competition. At the FIRST* Technical Challenge regional competition, the Burroughs robotics team claimed the Inspire Award, given to the best all-around team and robot, and earned an invitation to compete at the world championship to be held at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis in April. Excellence in Mathematics JBS mathematicians took every first-place finish — both individually and as teams — that was to be had in the Excellence in Mathematics competition held at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park in November. Congratulations to Chris Wong ’16, Amanda Cao ’15, Will Nickerson ’14 and Joe Roddy ’13, who took first place at their respective grade levels, and to the grade-level teams, which also took first-place honors. • Grade 9 team: Chris Wong, Olivia Long, Kate Yee and Jessie Li • Grade 10 team: Amanda Cao, William Meng, Emily Zhao and Will Wolfe • Grade 11 team: Will Nickerson, Adam Wang, Miranda Reid and Hanna Kime • Grade 12 team: Joe Roddy, Vicky Liu, Jake Fruchter and Matt Wong As the highest-scoring senior, Joe also won the Carol B. and Jerome T. Loeb Scholarship of $1,000. Also delivering strong individual scores were Nick Bach ’16, who placed 9th, and Sachit Bhat ’15, who placed 10th.

Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology January 2013 | 3 Ca mpus News On Giving Jon Hamm and Wayne Salomon Burroughs Hosts World Food Day Junior Donald Soffer organizes a mega marathon food-packaging event to help feed hungry children in Tanzania. Actor Jon Hamm ’89, a Golden Globe winner and five-time Emmy Award nominee for his role as Don Draper in the AMC drama series Mad Men, returned to St. Louis last fall to help with The Campaign for Burroughs. Jon and Broadway producer Terry Schnuck ’71 are co-chairing the alumni component of the campaign, which is a $45 million project to build a new Haertter Hall and a new athletic center, renovate the Commons, enlarge the Quadrangle and build the school’s endowment. While on campus, Jon visited with several of his former teachers, including Jim Lemen (Athletics/ History, retired) and Wayne Solomon (Theatre; Speech). He said, “I stay connected to this community because I feel rooted in it. ... I am continually inspired by this place, this incredible hotbed of achievement and support.” Jon is leading the charge to name the black box theatre in the new Haertter Hall in honor of Wayne, a 25-year JBS veteran who in 2011 was named the Outstanding Arts Educator of the Year by the Arts & Education Council of St. Louis. For more information about the campaign or to see campaign videos, live webcams and construction photos, visit www.jburroughs.org. Actor Jon Hamm ’89 (on left) and Wayne Salomon (Theatre; Speech) Donald Soffer ’14 (center) stepped up to keep St. Louis World Food Day alive. Among the many Burroughs volunteers were (from left) Brynne Baizer ’13, Sloan Long ’14 and Peter Munger ’14. Since 2010, St. Louisans have commemorated World Food Day by packaging meal packets for hungry people in Africa. The St. Louis event is part of an effort sponsored by the United Nations to raise awareness and promote action to alleviate poverty and hunger. Similar events take place across the country and around the globe throughout October. In 2010 and 2011, Donald Soffer ’14 and other Burroughs students participated in the event. In 2012, Donald, with the help of his parents — Allen and Mary Beth Soffer — kept it alive by pulling together the massive meal packaging assembly line in just three months. Schnucks provided financial support; Solae, the St. Louis-based soy products company, donated textured soy protein; and Burroughs provided its 28,000-square-foot field house. The meal packets, designed to reverse the starvation process and restore health, contained Missouri rice and textured soy protein. Each packet cost about 25 cents for ingredients, packaging and international shipping. Outreach Program, Inc., an experienced, Charity Navigator “Four Star” organization that has delivered 200 million meals worldwide, worked with St. Louis World Food Day to deliver the meals to a school lunch program in Tanzania. Some facts about St. Louis World Food Day 2012 1,500 Volunteers from the larger St. Louis community worked in onehour shifts 249,912 In addition to the international relief, St. Louis World Food Day addressed local needs by partnering with the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry. Collection barrels were on-site, and volunteers donated nonperishable food to be distributed throughout the St. Louis community. In the end, St. Louis World Food Day exceeded expectations. Throughout the day, more than 1,500 members of the St. Louis community streamed into the field house. There, corporate CEOs packaged alongside their employees, high school principals worked next to second graders, and friends worked with strangers. St. Louis Blues player Chris Pronger and mascot Louie lent star power to the event, as did former Rams/Cardinals player Aeneas Williams and goodwill ambassador for Tanzania Doug Pitt (Brad’s brother). Later that evening, students from 20 high schools attended the high school rally, working until 11 pm to package an additional 70,000 meals and blow past the goal of 200,000 meals. Meals for hungry school children in Tanzania were packaged The new Haertter Hall will provide fixed seating for all students and most faculty. All seats will have a better view of and closer connection to the stage. Stadium seating on the lower level will accommodate 500 seats, with an additional 200 seats in the balcony. The rounded area in front of the auditorium can be used as an extension of the stage or converted to an orchestra pit when needed. 4 | Bur roughs R eporter Eric Knispel (Science), who formerly taught at International School of Tanganyika/Tanzania, seals a package. Ca mpus News The Year of Sustainability In declaring 2012-13 the “Year of Sustainability,” Burroughs digs a little deeper — to the core of a value expressed by its founders. Long before an environmental conscience was something people cared much about, Burroughs’ founders named the new school for a poet naturalist who lived in a wilderness cabin. In so doing, they imbued a reverence for nature into the very fabric of Burroughs. That core value, preserved through the decades, permeates a Burroughs education — from what students experience in their classes and at Drey Land to how the Plant Operations Department maintains the grounds to how architects design new buildings. So when the Faculty Sustainability Committee formed several years ago, its purpose was to expand upon and coordinate a more cohesive and intentional cross-curricular, campuswide approach to environmental issues. The committee has sought to raise community awareness about issues related to population growth, land and water use, global energy supply and demand, food production, biodiversity, climate change and global warming. In declaring 2012-13 the “Year of Sustainability,” the committee sought to further increase awareness through regularly scheduled assembly presentations, films, book groups, speakers and field trips. Curt Ellis — filmmaker, FoodCorps co-founder and advocate for sustainable agriculture and healthful food — kicked off the sustainability theme in August with an evening program and morning assembly. Since then programming has included Christopher Hinshaw’s (History) assembly overview of the environmental challenges/opportunities that face us; a viewing of the film, A Crude Awakening; a discussion of the book, Why the World Is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller; and Mark Nicholas (History) and Jamie Wagner’s (History) assembly program on energy and the economy. Meanwhile, inside classrooms, four classes specifically address the state of the planet and the challenges it faces. The Science Department offers an Advanced Placement Environmental Science class, and the History Department offers three courses: Geography and Global Issues, Sustainability and Globalization, and Urban Studies. In addition, the school began a gardening course last year. Outside the classroom, relatively recent additions enhance what the school had already been doing. For example: • All new buildings will be LEED-certified, and energy efficiency will continue to be a priority when existing mechanicals are updated. On a sunny day, new solar panels on the field house generate about 25 kilowatts of power. • Landscaping will continue to incorporate native plants, and after construction is completed, several land areas on campus will be returned to a natural prairie state. • Two new bioretention basins (JBS already has one) will filter water run-off from the campus. • The school’s greenhouse has been repaired and is being developed by the gardening class. On Schedule Fair Weather Friend Blue skies throughout last summer and fall were good for construction. The projected dates for completion of the athletic center (summer 2013) and the new Haertter Hall (fall 2013) remain on target. The athletic center is now completely under roof, which means that weather will no longer be a factor in the construction schedule for that building. Work on the Quadrangle and the Commons will begin summer 2013. A new elective class introduces principles of gardening — sowing, maintaining and harvesting crops. Above, Christopher Hanrahan ’13 fills one of nine raised garden beds built for the class by eighth grade industrial technology students. The school’s greenhouse has been repaired for use by the class. • The kitchen is composting all food waste. It has been flavoring with herbs from its on-campus garden for several years; and it is working to find sources of locally produced products and meat. • The school no longer provides bottled water and will soon transfer to using only utensils, cups and plates (for outdoor functions) that are compostable or recyclable. • The Science Department supplies biodiesel fuel, which is used to power school tractors as well as the studentdesigned and -produced high-mileage vehicle, one of only a few vehicles powered by biodiesel fuel to compete at the statewide competition. • Honey is produced by the school’s bees and used in the kitchen. • Through the school’s service learning program, the Montgomery Plan, student volunteers weatherstrip lowincome residences, clean up the Mississippi riverfront and work in inner-city gardens. At press time, the masons had almost reached the top of the fly space in the new Haertter Hall and had begun to put up the walls of the black box theatre. Photo taken on December 14, 2012. Mr. Hinshaw, coordinator of the Year of Sustainability, would like to hear from members of the Burroughs community who are working in sustainability-related fields. If you would like to learn more about the school’s initiatives or get involved, please contact Mr. Hinshaw at chinshaw@ The athletic center is completely under roof and the stucco has been applied. Photo taken on December 20, 2012. In addition to LEED-certified construction (assembly hall on left, athletic center on right), the Plant Operations Department has taken a number of steps to reduce the campus’s carbon footprint. The Scharff family recently donated solar panels for the field house that generate about 25 kilowatts of power. Photo taken on November 14, 2012. January 2013 | 5 Our 90TH year Our Leaders “School is not only a preparation for life, it is life. School life, therefore, should be interesting and full of color and variety.” Wilford M. Aikin Director, 1923 to 1935 Wilford M. Aikin, an acknowledged leader in progressive secondary education, was the first director (headmaster). It was his charge to build a campus, attract a faculty, develop a curriculum and pursue financial stability. During his tenure he was able to translate the progressive ideology into a working reality. Enrollment increased fourfold, while tuition remained a steady $500. “The first requisite of a great school is great teachers.” Leonard D. Haertter Headmaster, 1935 to 1964 Leonard D. Haertter joined the JBS faculty in 1926 as chairman of the Mathematics Department and fast became an asset in the Athletic Department. He is remembered for his direct, earnest involvement with students, his ability to identify and attract an outstanding faculty, his passionate commitment to the Burroughs community and his work with trustees to facilitate the school’s growth. So Similar in Many Different Ways The visionaries who founded Burroughs in 1923 wanted a better education for their children. Their ideas, preserved through the years, still resonate in the school’s 90th year. There is much I love about Burroughs, but the thing that first drew me to this place was the philosophy expressed by the school’s founders and faithfully preserved by the five heads of school before me. The group of parents who founded the school wanted a different education for their children. They wanted it to be coeducational, nonsectarian and college preparatory. They believed in simplicity and informality, service, democratic ideals, diversity, concern for nature, and the highest academic standards balanced by involvement in arts, athletics and activities. SIMPLICITY AND INFORMALITY Our founders believed that young people learn best in an environment in which they feel comfortable. While our students and campus appear strikingly different than they did in 1923, that underlying tenet remains at the heart of how we do things. The campus, though beautiful, is not ostentatious. Buildings are simply designed, solid, functional and well-used. Students thrive in a relaxed environment where they can be themselves, where they respect and appreciate each other’s abilities and differences, where they can interact in the most genuine and open way, and where they are supported by a circle of adults who know them well. SERVICE Along with the idea of simplicity goes a rejection of entitlement and materialism. From the beginning, the school expected students to serve each other, the school and the larger community. Students continue to take on jobs to support their school community — from bussing tables at lunch to acting as office assistants. All students participate in grade-level service projects in the larger St. Louis community, and many of them are involved in voluntary community service through the Montgomery Plan and other clubs on campus. Democr atic Ideals “Today, change is rapid — particularly in education. We cannot stand still and be satisfied with what we have.” William G. Craig Headmaster, 1964 to 1966 From the beginning, the school was set up to be an environment in which everyone has a voice. Student government and student court provide that opportunity, but nowhere is the spirit of democracy more evident than in morning assembly, where students give editorials on virtually any issue. DIVERSITY Dr. William G. Craig put a premium on faculty professional development and led the effort to integrate the student body. He oversaw the growth of the school to a campus with the addition of a library and a science building. Upon his decision to accept a position in President Lyndon Johnson’s administration, the trustees asked Stanley Sprague, a member of the Modern Languages Department, to serve as interim headmaster for one year. 6 | Bur roughs R eporter Our founders were Christian and Jewish parents who wanted boys and girls to go to school together and make friends with one another. That philosophy of inclusiveness has expanded over the years to include students from a broad range of backgrounds. Twenty-nine percent of our students identify as students of color; 12 percent of our kids identify as African American. We want students to bring their identities with them to school; we want all of our students to have a voice; and we believe that all students benefit from a diverse student body. CONCERN FOR NATURE The founders expressed a respect for nature that permeated the Burroughs experience from the start. We cherish the green spaces on our now 47-acre campus, and we tend to them responsibly. We built an outdoor classroom at the edge of the living pond ecosystem; we invested in bioretension basins to filter water runoff; and we committed to LEED certification in new construction. Our teachers model environmental stewardship by tending to bee colonies on campus, by converting used kitchen oil into biodiesel fuel, by working alongside students in environmental projects and by addressing issues of sustainability in their classes and in assembly. And students share the concern. They build a super-high mileage vehicle; they collect recycling waste on campus; they participate in trailblazing and river cleanup activities; they choose classes that address the state of the planet; and they thoroughly embrace the school’s programs at its wilderness camp, Drey Land. HIGHEST ACADEMIC STANDARDS The curriculum remains rigorous. In this regard, I think we measure favorably with any other school in the country. We teach our students a great deal of material, but we also make it a goal to teach them how to think, how to use their minds and how to express their ideas. We want our students to be active in the classroom. It starts with an outstanding faculty. Finding and supporting great teachers is the highest priority of the head of school at Burroughs, and it always has been. Balance All students are involved in academics, arts, athletics and activities. They learn about sportsmanship and experience the fun and camaraderie that come from being part of a team. They are involved in the arts for their entire time at the school, and they have instruction in painting and drawing, sculpture, ceramics, music, speech, theatre, industrial technology and home economics. They serve others in the school community and beyond. And they are encouraged to lead, to participate and to work together in any of the four dozen clubs on campus. All of this was illustrated so beautifully at an assembly last month. That morning, two eighth graders talked about the significance of Pearl Harbor. A member of the plant operations staff talked about the importance of Christmas to him. Senior leaders talked about the drive for 100 Neediest Cases. KUTO (Kids Under Twenty One) leadership talked about relaxation day. And another senior sang Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” while accompanying himself on piano and playing a harmonica! Watching the kids respond so appropriately to each portion of that assembly felt great. Our founders envisioned moments like that 90 years ago. They were truly ahead of their time, their philosophy has stood the test of time, and it remains as powerful today as it was in 1923. Head of School, 2009 to present OUR 90TH YEAR Building on Our Legacy Our Leaders Ninety years of milestones brought JBS to where it is today. “In our caring for students, we show them that stretching the mind is part of growing up. What we try not to do is forget that, in addition to a mind, the heart is just as important.” Edward W. Cissel Headmaster, 1967 to 1986 By appearances, Burroughs was a different place when this photo was taken in the 1930s. Beneath the surface, however, the things that matter remain the same. 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1928 1929 1931 1936 1941 1947 1958 1964 1965 1966 1974 First formation meeting Land purchased (17.5 acres) 1976 1986 Main building and Little Gym dedicated Opening Day (October 2), grades 7 through 10 1987 First issue of The Review Main building addition completed First issue of The World Slabsides (first theatre) completed Fathers Council organized Mothers Council organized First yearbook (formerly part of The Review) North wing addition completed Memorial Gym dedicated Haertter Hall dedicated Yearbook named The Governor Montgomery Plan to promote community service established Fine arts building dedicated Cissel Center and Olin Field House dedicated First delegation sent to The Hague International Model United Nations Enrollment 1923 337 students 1963 Bonsack Gallery opened 403 students Stamper Library and Gaylord Science Building dedicated 1983 550 students Headmaster, 1986 to 2009 1991 1993 Aim High launched First Newman Prize, which gives a junior the opportunity to meet with a prominent American, awarded 1994 Schnuck Wing and Tower 1995 dedicated Lee Family Tennis Courts completed Renovation of main building completed. 2000 Lemen Press Box/Stands 2003 594 students 2013 1967 1969 1971 First August Days camp First Potpourri Sale Drey Land dedicated 600 students “Finding great teachers, engaging them, visiting their classes — this has been my greatest joy on the job. My job was to support them intellectually, institutionally, financially, sometimes emotionally, and with the best possible facilities. Then I just got out of their way.” Keith E. Shahan ’62 75 students 1943 Edward W. Cissel put an emphasis on attracting and retaining good teachers. He strengthened the financial position of the school with an enhanced annual giving program and a strong endowment campaign. He gave students more responsibility for self-government; he bolstered environmental education with the acquisition of Drey Land; and he increased community service opportunities. The campus expanded with the construction of a fine arts building and a sports and performing arts center. 2005 dedicated Leland Field and Keefer Track dedicated 2006 Clayton Road entrance completed 2007 Hockey field dedicated 2008 Kuehner Gallery opened 2010 Beckman Field dedicated 2012 Construction on performing arts Under Dr. Keith E.

He strengthened the faculty, fortified academic and counseling support for students, bolstered community-wide dedication to diversity and multiculturalism, increased tuition aid and strengthened the school’s financial security. He oversaw the renovation of the main classroom building, the construction of the Schnuck Wing, the addition of 23 acres to the campus, the new entrance on Clayton Road and the creation of a campus master plan. center and athletic center begun January 2013 | 7 alumni news and notes Alumni News and Notes The notes, marriages, births and condolences on these pages were received by November 30, 2012.
