To so many, retiring biology teacher Margaret Bahe represents the very best of Burroughs.
Bahe and her camera have been a regular fixture at students' sporting events, performances and other campus events; an archive of her photos is available at jbsbahephotos.smugmug.com. She also enthusiastically supported a variety of student activities, helping oversee Outdoor Ed, The Governor, the dance squad, and the Anatomy Club. She even became a Burroughs parent, with each of her kids — Hannah Seidel '01, Parker Seidel '04, and Miles Seidel '07 — graduating from the school.
In the 43 years since, Bahe has immersed herself in the Burroughs community, playing an instrumental role in curriculum development for classes including Behavioral Neuroscience and Advanced Placement (AP) Environmental Science, as well as BioEthics, a senior-level history and science course she co-taught with Dr. Mark Smith. She also led Burroughs' faculty evaluation program.
After 43 years, Margaret Bahe — Burroughs' longest-tenured classroom teacher — is saying 'see you later.'

Bahe Blazes a New Trail: Retirement
Bahe's influence as a woman in science, her encouragement of students' curiosity, and her emphasis on thinking like a scientist, both in and out of the classroom.
"I always liked working with students outside the classroom," Bahe says. "It's a great compliment to our interactions in the lab, because it can reveal so much more about their personality."
to hands-on learning opportunities at Drey Land, the school's wilderness camp in the Ozarks. While she had a strong appreciation for the outdoors, she admits she knew little to nothing about leading students in outdoor education when she began. But through what she estimates to be a few hundred trips down the shady paths of Pioneer Forest, established by Leo Drey '34, she figured it out. The school's Drey Land programming has grown immensely with Bahe's input.
"I attribute my love of science, and my going on to a life in biological sciences, pretty directly to Burroughs and to your classroom," wrote Lisa Friedman Miller, PhD, '84, who became a professor at Columbia University and wrote the best-selling The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life. "I hope that you are able to take great joy in your contribution to so many students' lives and I'm sure that you will be
"Drey Land is such a special place and a unique component of a Burroughs education," she says. "It's just such a Burroughs thing, and it's something that really sticks with students."
As soon as her retirement was announced, messages from former students started rolling in. The predominant theme: overwhelming gratitude.
a first for the Burroughs athletics program.
After clearing out her classroom, Bahe is looking forward to traveling to spend more time with her mother and her grandchildren.

"This has been just a spectacular place to have a career, and I'm leaving very grateful for my time here," Bahe says. "This isn't a goodbye, though, just a 'see you later.'"
Bahe joined the Burroughs faculty in 1979, just two years after earning a bachelor's degree in biology from Princeton University.

and Chris Perez '22 was named a Gates Millennium Scholar, the second in school history — to athletic achievements, like our state champs on the basketball court. You'll find those stories reflected in this issue of the Reporter, as well as quieter but equally special moments, on the Haertter Hall stage and in the broader St. Louis community.
At the end of the school year, our days are filled with reminiscing and wrapping up. Summer brings hundreds of younger students to campus for Bomber Sports Camp, Burr Oak, Aim High and Summer Days. Summer also brings an incredible group of senior professionals to our campus through The Equity Exchange. Since 2015, The Exchange has welcomed more than 200 participants from 15 states representing 60 different independent, private, public and charter schools. These veteran educators come together at Burroughs to deepen and sharpen their skills to advance their collective efforts to support diversity, inclusivity, equity and social justice work in their schools and districts.
We hope you'll join us in continuing that tradition when we launch our Centennial celebration during Alumni Weekend this fall, and that you'll plan to join us for an even bigger party in October 2023.
For me, summer is an opportunity to look ahead to fall and all the exciting things to come. When classes resume on August 25, we will celebrate the start of our 100th school year — 100 years of students, teachers, their families and their friends gathering on campus to celebrate the moments, big and small, that make up a Burroughs education.

"The history of Burroughs is long. It's storied. It's incredible. We are all a part of it. But every now and then, you just have to stop and say, 'This is a remarkable moment. Let's just stop and savor it and realize we are a part of this history now.'" ANDY ABBOTT, HEAD OF SCHOOL
This spring, we had a lot to celebrate on campus, of course, firstandtwoScholar,a'22—academicfromhonorsTeresaJiangwasnamedPresidentialoneofjustinMissouriBurroughs'since2015,
Our Centennial is an opportunity to celebrate all that has changed and all that has endured since 1923. The improvements that we've made to our facilities and our academic offerings strengthen the things we all love best about Burroughs.
For some, it will be their first trip back in years, decades even, and it will be natural to focus on all that has changed — and change it has. After all, as former head of school Ed Cissel succinctly wrote in a 1971 issue of the Reporter, change is necessary for survival. He continued: "Change for its own sake is a weak approach. Change after due deliberation and discussion is strong. The history of John Burroughs includes many changes; hopefully the future will prove the validity of these changes."
Please visit our Centennial website, www.jburroughs100.org, to learn about our campaign priorities and events between October 2022 and October 2023.

Philanthropy is a Burroughs tradition. Since 1972, the Blue & Gold Gift Society has recognized donors whose total giving to the Annual Fund between July 1 and June 30 is $1,000 or more. Together, they donate 80% of all dollars given to the Burroughs Annual Fund. Members of the Blue & Gold Giving Society are invited to a cocktail reception on our campus each September.
While many Bomber athletic facilities have been upgraded in recent years, other areas still lag behind those of our competitors.

conversations with donors about their philanthropic goals and priorities relative to Burroughs. Bequests can be a great way to make a gift to the Burroughs endowment. Please contact us if there is a program, person or initiative that is especially meaningful to you. We look forward to collaborating with you to develop a gift that meets your needs and ours.
For philanthropy to continue to thrive at JBS, the beneficiaries of donated funds today must become the donors of tomorrow. So, as part of our Centennial Campaign, we are working to engage more recent graduates with the hope that they will also "pay it forward" according to their financial means and continue the Burroughs tradition of philanthropic leadership and our Alumni Honor Roll.
Under professional management, the Burroughs endowment supports immediate and long-term Devotedneeds.

Scholarship levels fluctuate each year with tuition. Scholarships can be named for a new honoree or directed to support an existing honoree.
I chose to name my gift for my parents, Horty and Howard Kuehner, and my maternal grandfather, Harry Hartkopf. I wanted to give a gift that would support the people who have meant the most to me by making a gift to an institution that reflects so much of what I appreciate — culture, community, inclusion and excellence. Burroughs was central to both my education and the education of my sister, Kerry Kuehner '68. Philanthropy is a major way I choose to give back to Burroughs and to St. Louis, my primary home all my life. I know the impact of a Burroughs education, and I applaud the evolution of the Burroughs campus and programming since I graduated in 1971. I'm lucky to have been able to attend Burroughs. I take great pride in knowing that my gift will help ensure that the tradition continues for another century.”
• Connect with the beneficiaries of their generosity.
“After graduating from Burroughs, I attended Brown University and then got my law degree from Penn. I spent most of my career as a lawyer in the International Monetary Fund, and I currently serve as an arbitrator/ tribunal judge for several organizations in Geneva, Switzerland. My learning experience at Burroughs was the key to my academic and professional career path, including my interest in international affiars, and also instilled a lifelong love of art and music. My years at Burroughs opened a window to all of these possibilities to me. I decided to endow a scholarship to ensure that a JBS education would be available to promising students, regardless of their family's financial circumstances, and give them the opportunity to pursue their chosen paths in life.”
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES IT HAPPEN

A Campus Transformed
Philipp and his family lived on campus from 1996 to 2020, and he received (and answered!) countless middle-of-the-night emergency calls. He says that while he was sometimes startled by things he saw on campus, he was never scared.

Since 1995, the care of the Burroughs campus has been in the capable hands of Ed Philipp. He and his staff — and at times even his family! — dotingly managed facilities maintenance, groundskeeping, event setup, security and so much more on a cam pus that expanded from 27 acres to nearly 50 acres between 1995 and 2022.
For nearly three decades, Ed Philipp oversaw more than $100 million in capital projects to improve the Burroughs campus.

JOHN BURROUGHS SCHOOL Tributes & Memorials • January 1-June 30, 2022
ASLEEP, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny.
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me.
SERENE, I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
