What a Difference a Year Makes The History Department leads a cross-curricular reflection on a tumultuous year in American history.

A yearlong cross-curricular initiative spearheaded by history teachers Carrie Dodson-Ching and Mark Smith has inspired a campus-wide flashback that lands squarely on the year 1968.

The events of 1968 — two political assassinations, the Chicago Democratic National Convention riots and worldwide protests by young people on behalf of civil rights, human rights and the environment — invite exploration, learning and reflection across our school community, according to Dods0n-Ching.

“We are considering what happened 50 years ago that continues to shape our world, our country, our city and even our school. Why was this year so important to our politics, culture, technology, sports and society? Why were young people so central to the events of that era?

How have things changed?”

The 2018-19 school year’s focus on 1968 crosses disciplines, with class assignments ranging from reading literature to cooking popular recipes from that year. The crux of the initiative is special programming that includes a string of assembly presentations: •

•

•

September: Dodson-Ching opened the themed year with a presentation on major events of 1968 — the escalating war in Vietnam, the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, and mass student protests.

October: Seniors Isaac Bledsoe and Sofia Di Lodovico interviewed four members of the Class of ’68 (Christy Bertelson, Debbie Deutch, Scott Schnuck and Chip Wiese) about student life at Burroughs in the 1960s.

November: History teacher/coach John Merritt talked about the impact that the displays of

The Bonsack Gallery exhibit, 1968: A Portrait of Rock & Roll, runs through February 20.

The exhibit features rock posters, black-andwhite photographs of rock musicians and a collection of vintage record albums.

December: History teacher Sara Jay and French teacher Frédérique Joubert talked about global politics and protests in 1968 — their similarities, differences and significance.

•

January: The Music Department will present Music of ’68, a diverse program of student performances celebrating musical artists popular during the era.

•

February: Computer science chair Martha McMahon will make a presentation on NASA and the computer technology that made the Apollo 8 mission possible.

•

April: STEM liaison Martha Keeley will talk about Earth Day and the environmental movement.

•

May: History teacher/director of academics Chris Front will wrap up the 1968-themed assemblies with a talk on student activism in the U.S., focusing on antiwar and civil rights protests.

In the spring of 2018, a Bonsack Gallery exhibit in conjunction with the “MLK50: Bearing Witness” panel discussion featured photos by civil rights photographer Ernest Withers. The current Bonsack exhibit, 1968: A Portrait of Rock & Roll, features portraits of rock music artists by Rolling Stone photographer Baron Wolman, vintage concert posters from the collection of Ted and Maryanne Simmons (parents of alumni) and vintage record albums from that year on loan from past parent Joe Edwards ’64.

“It’s easy to think, when you’re young — and not able to vote — that you can’t have an impact,” Front says of his presentation in May, which will sum up the year’s programming. “My hope is to point out to students that their counterparts in the 1960s altered the course of history.”

Digging Deeper Seniors who wish to delve more deeply into a subject of their choosing can elect to pursue an independent study project. After writing a proposal and getting approval from their principal and the department chair in their field of study, they work closely with a faculty advisor.

This year, Caleb Hughes (above), with support from his faculty advisor, Jamie Wagner (History), is researching how public policy affects efforts to address climate change. He is looking at case studies in countries like Sweden, Denmark and Finland to see what policies work, with the goal of finding workable plans for the U.S. — one of the world’s heaviest carbon emitters. Hughes will present his research at an assembly in February.

BURROUGHS REPORTER

News from the 2018-19 school year inspires a bit of nostalgia about the Burroughs experience 50 years ago.

Praxis Makes Perfect “Praxis” means to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems. Over the course of five days in June 2018, 20 upper school students — interacting with 22 professionals across 12 STEM fields — did just that. In the process, they got an onthe-ground feel for career applications in engineering, science and math.

Designed and coordinated by JBS STEM liaison Martha Keeley, the inaugural Praxis Week engaged students in hands-on activities related to data science, civil engineering, biotechnology and architecture. They participated in demonstrations of lab research in alternative energy, environmental engineering and materials science. They toured Monsanto, Cortex/BioGenerator, the Washington University in St. Louis Energy and Environmental Engineering Department, Saint Louis University Sociology and Civil Engineering departments, and the JBS STAR building during construction. They talked with social scientists, engineering professors, lab researchers, entrepreneurs, architects, plant scientists, alternative energy professionals, practicing engineers and even a honeybee health expert.

“Students learned that applied math and science careers tend to be practiced as team sports: it takes the skills and perspectives that a diverse group of people bring to the table to solve complex problems facing the world,” Keeley says.

Along the way, students reflected on which careers resonated with them and gave Keeley valuable feedback that she is using in designing the program for June 2019.

On the Burroughs Stage Lily Yanagimoto ’23 (center), in the title role, has an epiphany in the seventh- and eighth-grade production of The Ash Girl (Timberlake Wertenbaker’s retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale) in December.

The play was one of many performances in Haertter Hall last semester that included orchestra, band and choral concerts; the upper school fall play, Almost, Maine; and the Holiday Program. The annual Dance Show will be January 25 and 26, and the musical Legally Blonde will be February 28 and March 1 and 2.

FLASHBACK: The Drama Club presented many memorable productions on a small stage in the old Haertter Hall. Pictured below is a scene from the fall 1966 musical, The Boy Friend. The group below are members of the Class of 1968 (from left): Jim Ryan, Mike Yore, Ben Donnell, Alice Canham and John Davidson.

The Tradition Continues The 2018 Holiday Program, a celebration of peace, featured more than 200 students in the choirs and orchestra. Readers were Elle Harris ’19 and Collin Bradley ’19, and Olivia Lamb ’19 sang the “Lullaby.” Almira Arnold ’19, Olivia Arter ’19, Isaac Bledsoe ’19, Shayla Danzie ’24 and Michael Sadasivam ’24 appeared in the tableau. Sofia Di Lodovico ’19 designed the tableau, and Teresa Jiang ’22 designed the program art. Per a new tradition, a member of the Burroughs community — this year, it was English teacher Jill Donovan — prepared an original work (below) to be included in the collection of Holiday Program readings.

That Which Is Sacred by Jill Donovan (English) Togetherness We gather — in living rooms and assembly halls and kitchens and piazzas, in cathedrals and temples and mosques — to celebrate friendship, daily bread, family, shalom. We gather to marvel at old stories — clay lamps and angels, shepherds and a baby. We gather to share gifts and traditions, both familiar and new, and hopes for the coming year. We gather ritually and joyfully, offering dreams and blessings to hold. We gather for mulled cider, latkes, halvah and gingerbread.

We gather in every time zone and latitude, across all ethnicities and cultures to remember connectedness. We gather to become, in these moments, whole.

Beauty Look at the sky, the meadows, the mountains, the river. Listen to the children, the birdsong, the crashing waves. Smell the pine trees, the cinnamon, the oranges, the amaryllis. Look at the grandfather cradling his sleeping grandson. Listen to the carolers, the champagne flutes, the lullaby. Smell the nutmeg, the challah, the baklava. Look at the slush on the pavement and the anguish in the faces of the grieving, and then look for a world made new in the gestures of open hearts.

Kindness Consider the kindness of strangers in another country who help us when we are lost or confused. Consider ordinary families who offer food and shelter to refugees.

Consider small children who urge us to put coins into the hands of the desperate.

Consider the ways that they remind us to stay gentle, trusting. Consider the help that human beings give to each other, especially in crisis, someone always helping.

Consider small tokens of kindness that have changed you, changed me. Consider how kindness alters us, deepens us and sculpts us into living holiday chalices.

Light “Let there be light,” God said, and there was light. The light of a thousand creamcolored candles, the light of the gilt menorah and the mosque lamp, the light of the newborn day after the darkest night. The light within a glistening snowscape and on the blinding shimmer of the warm sea. The light of sunrise and twilight, safe harbor and starlight. The light of an oil lamp that continues to burn, and a fireplace draped in garland. The light in the faces of the very young and the faces of the very old. The light of compassion, forgiveness, hope.

FLASHBACK: Fifty years ago, the old Haertter Hall stage overflowed with performers in the annual Holiday Program, much as it did in 2018.

THE CURRICULUM

Mastering the Classics The study of Greek and Latin provides a strong underpinning for the study of other languages and disciplines while training students to think precisely and logically.

The Classics faculty confirms that yes, the recent demand for Latin at the high school level is partly thanks to Harry Potter (though, as they note, the way he uses Latin in spells is pretty freewheeling and not always correct).

Burroughs has always offered Latin, and it added Greek in 1990. For a high school to offer both is rare. Teaching them through a classics department in which all faculty can teach both languages is something usually seen only at the college level. And “we have more students enrolled in Greek than most classics departments at colleges,” says faculty member Marni Dillard, adding that there are usually about 50 students enrolled in Greek — which is taught only as an elective. (There are 115 students currently enrolled in Latin.)

Will Forsen ’19 took Beginning Greek as a junior, and continued this year with Greek I and Foundations of Western Literature, which traces Homer’s and Vergil’s influence through the modern day in works like The Hobbit and Minority Report. What initially drew him, he says, was the mysterious atmosphere of the third-floor classics area, with its posters, maps and cases of ancient coins, and kids spilling out of class speaking what sounded like a secret language. But he’s found Greek practical; it gives him an edge in English, German and history. He also expects to draw on the language when he heads to college to study international relations. “With Greek, we’re not just learning a language,” he says. “We’re learning the history behind it as well, and some philosophy.”

Jim Lowe, who’s been teaching in the department since 1989, says studying classics enriches academics in general, because there’s a logical, sequenced thinking it forces you to internalize. “To do Latin and Greek, you are doing the original coding,” he says. “It’s all about syntax.

If you get the coding wrong, the computer program doesn’t work. If you get the code wrong in Latin or Greek, it doesn’t make any sense.”

Because the two languages no longer evolve — as they are not widely spoken — the rules don’t change. “That allows us to teach the language at a very deep level grammatically and structurally,” Classics chair Avery Springer says. “When you learn the rules and you know what’s going on, figuring out the code is part of the fun.

There are a lot of students who like Latin and Greek because they are like a puzzle.”

Like most students taking Latin as their core language, senior Almira Arnold started Latin in 7th grade, working

BURROUGHS REPORTER

Classics teacher Jim Lowe leads a Latin 7 class. Seventh, 8th and 9th graders study the Oxford Latin Course, which uses the life of Horace as a framework for learning grammar, vocabulary and ancient history. As 9th graders in Latin II, they begin reading Horace in the original Latin.

through the Oxford Latin Course for three years. Using the story of a boy named Quintus, based on the Roman poet Horace, the course introduces students to basic grammar and vocabulary, and prepares them to start reading original works in Latin in 9th grade.

“It also introduces them to a very important period in the history of Rome, the first century B.C.,” Springer says.

During that time, Rome shifted away from a democratic model of government. “We talk a lot about why that happened, and what it means.” Classics teacher Philip Barnes adds that the classics help students understand modern civics as well, given that the U.S. founding fathers used Greece and Rome as their models, largely because they “didn’t want to be English.”

Arnold, who also took Greek as an elective, says she thinks both languages will be a huge help when she studies science in college: “I’ll know the roots of all these words and the vocabulary of biology.”

She says going on the Italy trip during spring break of her sophomore year really brought Latin to life for her. That’s exactly what the travel learning experiences are designed to do, says Barnes. They learn about Horace’s life, read his works in Latin, and then in Italy, literally follow his footsteps. “At one point, they are physically in the room where he worked,” he says. “It’s still there.”

The Foundations of Western Literature and History of Classical Art courses are open to all upper-school students. In the art class, students visit the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Kemper Museum at Washington University in St. Louis, and go on walking tours of the Central West End and Compton Heights to tease out the Greco-Roman influences on both ancient and modern art, as well as St. Louis architecture, which is heavily neoclassical.

The study of Latin and Greek definitely teaches logic, but it also teaches appreciation of art, literature and architecture, and shows students how, in many ways, the ancient world is still very much with us, according to Springer. “I was just in a panel discussion about why we study the humanities and western culture,” Springer says.

“And that’s it: You understand yourself better when you know where you’ve come from, in a deep way rather than just a superficial way.”

And then, of course, there’s the fact that few writings have stood the test of time so well. Arnold, for one, says she plans to continue reading and studying Cicero, Ovid, Horace, Vergil, Caesar and Catullus — just because she enjoys them.

ATHLETICS

Sporting Crowns in Golf, Tennis and Soccer The girls golf and tennis teams and the boys soccer team claim state championships, and in individual tennis competition, a JBS duo takes the state title.

Tennis and Golf The girls golf team (above, in black) and the girls tennis team (in light blue) dominated in state tournament play. On October 16, golfers captured the Class 1 state championship, defeating Springfield Catholic to claim the school’s first state title since 2013 and the second in the program’s history. Claire Pan ’20 led with a fourth-place finish, and Lucy Bloomstran ’19 placed eighth in Class 1 golf. Every player on the team scored in the top 23 at the tournament.

On October 18, the girls tennis team defeated Visitation Academy to take the Class 1 state championship, the team’s third state win in four years. Sami Remis ’20 and Gaby Thornton ’20 (above, right) took first in the state doubles tournament, losing only 11 games in four matches of state tournament play. Emily Kantrovitz ’22 took second in Class 1 state singles; Lily Walther ’21 placed fifth in state singles; and Kate Stengel ’19 and Ainsley Heidbreder ’21 placed sixth in state doubles.

Decisive Win in Soccer

Other Highlights • • •

Field Hockey: The field hockey team advanced to the state quarterfinals.

Girls Cross Country: Kylie Goldfarb ’21 (above) placed second in the state cross-country meet.

Swimming and Diving: Diver Eliot Barnes ’22 placed seventh in the Class 1 swimming and diving state championship and earned first team All-State honors. Steven Busch ’22 placed 15th in the 100m Fly and 10th in the 200m Free. The 200m Free Relay team (Busch, Dylan Meyer ’19, John Woodruff ’20 and Michael Tu ’21) placed 15th at state.

On November 10, the varsity soccer team faced off against St. Charles West — a team that JBS had not played for nearly 20 seasons — at the Class 2 state championship game at Soccer Park in Fenton.

Sophomore John Gates (at left) scored a goal in the opening minutes of the game, giving the Bombers an immediate edge and paving the way for a 3-0 victory — and a state championship. That game capped an exciting season for the team, which finished with an 18-6-1 record.

That makes four state titles for the team overall. (It also took first in state in 2008, 2013 and 2016.) Gates scored another decisive goal during the semifinals when he knocked in the only point in a victorious game against Monett. The team surrendered only one goal during the entire post-season.

Many alumni who were in St. Louis for Alumni Weekend got a chance to tour the STAR and visit with their classmates at gatherings throughout the building at the October 12 event. Then, a larger group of Burroughs friends gathered in Haertter Hall, where Head of School Andy Abbott welcomed the crowd, made a special shout-out to reunion classes and acknowledged and thanked those who envisioned and supported the STAR project. After the program, guests headed to the Quad for a toast to the future, projection mapping (above) on the south face of the STAR building, fireworks from the roof of the new building and more tours of the interior of the facility.

BELOW, LEFT: Early in the evening, members of the community visited in the Haertter Hall lobby and the Commons while alumni from reunion classes gathered in the STAR building. The entire group then assembled in the auditorium for a special program emceed by Head of School Andy Abbott.

BELOW, RIGHT: Kennedy Holmes ’23, a star in her own right, sang “Rise Up” at the start of the program.

Away from Burroughs, Kennedy enjoyed the spotlight, receiving a coveted four-chair turn during blind auditions for the 15th season of the popular reality show The Voice.

Kennedy continued to awe judges and her audience as she delivered great performances throughout the season — eventually becoming the youngest performer ever to make it to the finals, where she placed fourth.

ALUMNI NEWS AND NOTES

Alumni Association Honors Dubinsky and Trulaske John Dubinsky ’61 named Outstanding Alum, and Steve Trulaske ’75 honored for distinguished service to Burroughs.

Head of School Andy Abbott told students, faculty/ staff and guests during morning assembly on October 11 that they might not recognize the names of the two men on stage with him that morning. The reason, Abbott said, was that “both of these men, who have devoted their lives to having an impact on their communities, are remarkably humble.”

JOHN DUBINSKY ’61

Dubinsky, who received the Alumni Association’s 2018 Outstanding Alum Award, told the audience he had been an average student, an uneven athlete (he played soccer) and socially awkward. But, he said, “there was something very special about JBS for me, which made a difference in my life and whatever successes I have had.”

After earning a bachelor’s degree in political science and an MBA from Washington University in St. Louis, Dubinsky embarked on a long and impressive career in banking. He was hired by Mark Twain Bancshares in 1967, was elected president in 1975 and became CEO in 1986. He went on to serve as chairman, president and chief executive of Mercantile Bank, as well as president of Firstar Bank (now U.S. Bank). He’s currently CEO of the financial consulting firm, Westmoreland Associates, LLC; a director of Stifel Financial Corp.; and a director of Drury Hotels. He has also served on the boards of BJC HealthCare, Barnes Jewish Hospital, Washington University in St. Louis, Rise and the NPR Foundation.

Since the early 2000s, much of Dubinsky’s attention has focussed on turning St. Louis Midtown into a vibrant 200-acre hub of technology and biological science research, Cortex Innovation Community. Dubinsky’s involvement started with a conversation with Bill Danforth, former chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis. As Dubinsky told KETC Channel 9 last summer, Danforth

wanted to revitalize the city with a biotech corridor, and he needed help building biotech facilities and securing acreage for the project. “He (Danforth) said, ‘I hear you have time on your hands, and you spent — his words — a distinguished career in banking. You’re focused on urban areas and real estate, and I’d like to see if you’d be willing to help me.’” Dubinsky said, “Yes, of course — but what am I to do?” Danforth’s response: “If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn’t need you!’”

Dubinsky helped Danforth secure backing from major institutions — including Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis University, University of Missouri St. Louis, BJC HealthCare and the Missouri Botanical Garden — to get Cortex Innovation Community off the ground. He also served as the project’s president and chief executive officer from 2003 to 2008 and chairman of the board of directors from 2008 to 2016.

Cortex now boasts 1.7 million square feet of space, representing $550 million of investment and 4,200 technology-related jobs. Its success has also helped spark growth in other neighborhoods. As Dubinsky noted in an interview with the St. Louis Business Journal last fall, $8 billion in development is occurring in the core of the city — and, he said, a lot more is currently in the works.

STEVE TRULASKE ’75

The second alum to be honored was Trulaske, who received the Alumni Association’s 2018 Distinguished Service Award for his exceptional and long-lasting support of Burroughs. In his October 11 introduction of Trulaske, Abbott talked about the old blue track around a muddy football field that he remembered on arriving at Burroughs in 2001. Trulaske, he said, led the charge to turf the field and renovate the track and has been integrally involved in every major addition the school has undertaken over the last 15 years. Trulaske’s initiatives, according to Abbott, have inspired others to contribute to upgrades on the Burroughs campus.

The 2018 outstanding alum, John Dubinsky ’61 (left), and distinguished service recipient, Steve Trulaske ’75, were honored at morning assembly on October 11.

In his speech at morning assembly, Trulaske connected the trajectory of his life with his Burroughs experience, specifically his ecology class, conversations about the Stop the Dam movement on behalf of the Meramec, and his friendship with a foreign exchange student.

Trulaske is now the third-generation owner of True Manufacturing, a commercial refrigeration company headquartered in O’Fallon, Missouri.

Under his direction, True became the first U.S. company to use green refrigerants, despite the cost.

Trulaske did it because it was “the right thing to do,” but it was also smart. It increased demand.

Trulaske’s other priority was growing the company into a global entity: True is now in more than 100 markets outside the United States. Trulaske traces this back to his studying in Germany during college and then re-connecting there with Michael Siebold ’75, the Burroughs exchange student during the 1974-75 school year.

Both Trulaske and Dubinsky were honored this year, Mr. Abbott said, for their “great vision, and great action” — and because they put those visions, and those energies, into making their communities better.
